‘American Villain‘ is the fiery new Indie-Rock political track from Seattle-based singer-songwriter Rusty Reid as he shows his frustration and ultimately anger, with how the previous four years has gone in the USA.

Rusty Reid is a true singer-songwriter who has seen the ups and downs of the music industry. After early success in his career in various bands, he moved around a lot with stints in Houston and LA. After his music career unfortunately faltered out just after 9/11 due to a few factors, he retired from the game for over 10 years. Then, the creativity came back and the hunger to make music was burning inside.

This is a true American comeback story. This is a man who knows who he is deep inside and being totally honest is one of them.

“Shortly into Donald Trump’s term as president I realized that he is truly a villain. in every sense. He’s a liar. He’s a conman. He’s a chauvinist. He’s a racist. He’s homophobic. He’s anti-science. He’s anti-democratic. He’s a thug. He’s a thief.”- Rusty Reid

Rusty Reid sings about his true feeling on Donald Trump with his new single ‘American Villain‘. He connected the dots and soon realized that something was wrong. He went with his gut and releases a brave single that is all about how things have gone backwards in the country he loves. With a gritty voice, skillful guitar playing and lots of lyrics that cut deep into the truth, this is a singer to be admired.

Posted on 15 November 2020

‘We Got‘ from Houston duo/3 piece Eucalyption is a truthful story on how the world is wrapped up in useless information, instead of learning how to improve the planet.

Taken off the debut 10 track album ‘Go Ahead and Ignore This If You Want‘, this is a conscious Indie-Reggae track with such real substance and meaning. The lyrics are all about how smarter the world should be, but really isn’t. Instead, with all the new toys we have to play with globally, we are actually getting less smarter. This topic is discussed in depth here and this is such a vital view that needs to be spoken about more.

You smile to yourself and wonder why the world even talks about certain things, Instead of innovating, so many people are so stuck in their phones and are forgetting what life is really about.

Eucalyption are such a fresh new sound and ‘We Got‘ is the the type of track that you don’t really hear these days. There is so much appeal here and you get lost in the melodic soul that gets you in the mood. This is a debut song that is super impressive and this is a fine track that is full of real talk.

Posted on 15 November 2020

Manchester rapper Ice D spits real street stories on ‘Felony‘. This is a raw track that has a freestyle type vibe to it and this hits home real hard.

With an original style and plenty and trap-filled busty beats that bounce around like the real word on the streets. Life comes real fast and you need to know the time to survive. This young rapper has a rap delivery that seems to improve as the track going on, a true sign of things that are to come.

Life can get real so quickly and with stories of what goes down in the dark alleys, portrays a musician who knows who he is and this isn’t some lame fake track unlike a lot of the new Hip Hop out there. Expect big things if he can maintain focus and not get wrapped up and gassed with all the easy temptations of the music game that can be so harsh for the naive. Ice D is only getting started on ‘Felony‘.
