Canadian artist Swaine dropped their latest hazy vibeout album DUNES on April 30th. You might want to prepare your vibe out RnB Hip Hop playlists for the mellow catharsis-spilling tracks right about now.

While each of the tracks is a soulfully expressive connectable mix, there’s no better introduction to Swaine’s accessibly sweet style than CANYON INTERLUDE. Within the layers of the mix which was deftly produced by elkvio you’ll find nuances of Lo-Fi Hip Hop, Trap, Indie, and Soul giving the track universal appeal. And with the lyrics unravelling like Urban poetry, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Hip Hop mix which parallels the amount of soul, ingenuity, and style.

Ford Sharpless – Blue? : Ambient Urban Lo-Fi Instrumental Hip Hop

Posted on 26 December 2019

Ford Sharpless dropped their highly-anticipated Instrumental Lo-Fi Hip Hop album “The Cool Era” in November 2019. And it’s exactly what it says on the tin.

The lucid Jazz-soaked beats may be mellow, yet Ford Sharpless’ production skills ensure that each progression spills plenty of winding cathartic mesmerism. Listening to all 13 tracks is highly recommended, but the perfect introduction to their ambient urban nuanced style is the standout track “Blue?”.

The US-based artist first made their inception back in 2003, in the 16 years since they’ve mastered the ability to offer polished aural bliss in their soundscapes. Furthermore, they do it with plenty of distinction.

Savior – Without You: A Debut of RnB-Soaked Hip Hop

Posted on 11 December 2019

Hip Hop artist Savior made their debut on November 29th with their smooth downtempo RnB-infused track Without You.

The Trap beats feed into an atmospheric mix complete with lush shimmering reverb which creates lucid aural pools to delve into without making Without You all too wavy. The track contains plenty of lyrical depth, although in the verses it felt as though the vocals were slightly lacking in conviction. Injecting more soul and vibe into their Rap bars would make Savior unstoppable. But that’s not to say that Without You wasn’t a debut track which proves that Savior has plenty to offer the airwaves.

You can check out Savior’s debut track for yourselves via Spotify.
