The Hazel Effect has dropped their game-changing Emo Trap track White Gold Trim

Posted on 21 June 2020

American Emo Trap pioneer the Hazel Effect dropped their indulgently dark and stormy latest release White Gold Trim on June 14th. We’re already obsessed with it.

The infectiously visceral earworm kicks off with a teasing start before sliding into an anthemically fierce infusion of Emo and Trap. If there’s any track with the capacity to unite Pop Punk kids and New Wave Trap fans, it’s White Gold Trim.

As much as I enjoyed White Gold Trim hitting my ears at home through my headphones, it instantly made me wish that the angsty banger had first introduced itself on a sticky dancefloor with like-minded nihilists.

You can find the resonance in White Gold Trim for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now.

Breaking Hip Hop artist Fourstars has recently dropped their latest feat of curve-creating Trap “Barcelona (Dreamer). In the process of doing so, they broke the Trap mould and deservedly garnered plenty of hype around the release.

Not only did they create a sweet vibing accessible mix with the help of producer OFEY, but there’s also plenty of lyrical playfulness making it all too easy to warm to Fourstars. After lyrically reeling off a list of reasons to envy them, they roguishly point out that you’re wrapped up in a narrative of a fantasy. In a world of Trap artists either trying to make you envy them or respect them, it’s incredibly refreshing to hear an artist play on that stereotype.

With their sweet instrumental hooks alongside inventive lyrical waxing, there’s plenty of commercial potential behind their sound. You won’t regret pressing play.

JAY DVRDEN – Sad Witch: Pensively Magnetic Grunge-Laden Trap

Posted on 14 May 2020

Trap doesn’t come much darker than up and coming Alternative artist JAY DVRDEN’s seminal single “Sad Witch”. If you could imagine what it would sound like if Trent Reznor started to dabble with Trap, you’ll get a good idea of what to expect when you hit play on the deeply melancholic track.

The pensively magnetic vocals find their perfect place in the inventively orchestrated soundscape which pairs reverb-drenched synths with striking orchestral layers. With their Grunge-laden unique approach to Sad Witch, JAY DVRDEN found the perfect balance between emotivity and ingenuity.

But Sad Witch is so much more than a playlist-worthy mix. It provides a snapshot of the ennui which is defining a new generation of artists of all inclinations. It may not be as acclaimed as Linkin Park and Jay-Z’s infamous collaboration, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve to be.

You can check out the official video to JAY DVRDEN’s standout track Sad Witch for yourselves by heading over to YouTube now.

Tee Melly – Need Somebody: Lyrically-Driven Alt Trap Pop

Posted on 28 April 2020

Truly evocative Trap Pop may be a rarity, but if you can listen to Tee Melly’s single “Need Somebody” without feeling the pensive sting delivered by the lyrics, I’ve got some bad news for your soul.

Need Somebody is just one of the tracks which you will find on the up and coming artist’s latest 6-track EP “Dying to Live”. While each lyrically-driven track makes candid emotion the essence of the soundscape, Need Somebody hits bruisingly hard – especially now we’re all on lockdown and all undoubtedly feeling alienated in our own way.

The smooth, flawlessly produced beats create the perfect atmosphere in Need Somebody while sitting in perfect synergy with Tee Melly’s deftly metered passion-soaked lyrics. I can guarantee you won’t listen to a more lyrically transfixing track today. Get Tee Melly on your radars.

Posted on 12 April 2020

Houston-based Rapper & producer delz recently dropped his latest fiery New Wave Trap track “Go and Get Rich”. Fans of high-fire Hip Hop will want to pay attention.

Instead of using pure momentum to bring energy to the mix, delz utilised a smorgasbord of different vibrant influences and tones in Go and Get Rich. You’ll be able to pick up on nuances of Pop, Rock, and Afro Beats, the latter brings plenty of warmth to the grinding immersive track.

It’s all too easy to lose yourself in the high-vibe rhythms in Go and Get Rich, it’s infectious from the first hit. Delz is evidently one to watch, especially if you’re a fan of contemporary artists such as J. Cole or Travis Scott.
