Alt Electro Hip Hop Heavy Weight, Sol Nocte Has Made His Entrance with ‘Hallucinating;, featuring xS!r N3llyx

Posted on 28 September 2022

Breaking new wave hip hop artist Sol Nocte sent ingenuity rippling through the music industry with the drop of his debut single, Hallucinating, featuring xS!r N3llyx.

The trippy, 8-bit discord-dripping electro beats almost veer into industrial electronica, but they are pulled back into the realms of hip hop with the groove of the melodies that work your way into your synapses under the layered dual vocals, which throw reminiscence to everyone from Labrinth to Tech N9ne.

Hallucinating is a stellar track in its own right. Even more so when you consider that it was born on an iPhone as a result of Sol Nocte’s passion that ensured the track was staunch with visceralism.

Hallucinating is now available to purchase on Apple Music and available to stream on YouTube.

Definitely Not Aliens – Rub Hands Together: hail our new extra-terrestrial aural overlords.

Posted on 9 September 2021

‘Rub Hands Together’ is the latest single by the eccentric aural expressionists, Definitely Not Aliens. While their human status is questionable for the way they explore human behaviour in a detachedly bemused fashion, one thing that isn’t in question is their sonic appeal.

Lyrically, Rub Hands Together is a series of witty one-liners that won’t leave you enamoured by Definitely Not Aliens’ playful way of parodying the reality that so many artists try to sugarcoat and glamorise only to leave us with unrealistic romantic expectations. Ironically, all we needed to bring us down to earth was something extra-terrestrial.

Check out the, quite frankly insane, official video to Rub Hands Together via YouTube.

Boston-based artist Buddha-Ty intrigues with debut single ”Middle Way”

Some artists are just wildly unknown. Their music somehow struggles to reach the cream of the crop without a big budget. I feel like this is one of those times where an emcee needs some love. Buddha-Ty is the name and he is a rapper from Boston in the USA.

”Middle Way” is the debut track from this young artist with loads of potential. His flow is consistent and he doesn’t try too hard to get his message across. Buddha-Ty has been waiting for this moment and he wades in deep here with a distorted bass bin blurry beat. He has come up from the basement with tales to tell of his new found confidence and creativity. This is a new emcee who’s flow will develop with time and it will be fascinating to see if his style changes in time. I love the beat and it has an extra electronic feel to it and this adds so much authentic energy to the debut. Freeing minds and sending his positive message is all this promising musician is after and he has succeeded without being arrogant about it.

Check out the debut from this innovative Hip Hop artist from Boston on his SoundCloud.
