North Carolina Emcee Trigga Delgoto raps about tough times with ”Favoritism”

Posted on 15 June 2020

Charlotte, North Carolina is the hometown for Rapper Trigga Delgoto. He is back with ”Favoritism” and this is a sad song all about life growing up in the hood and how he regrets some decisions that he has made. This is an emotional track full of hurt, jail, violence and hatred. An introspective look into the life of an emcee that is going though a tough time as he reflects on his life.

Trigga Delgoto is a rapper with a raw flow who puts it all on the line with this street banger. This song puts me into a dark place and I feel in a somber mood. We are placed into a story that is all too familiar. Trigga had to grow up very quickly and we are led into some tough memories about having to choose sides when barely an adult and having issues with his family. Adding to this life story is fathering a child and now being into lean and too much stress. This is a deep track and one that deserves respect.

YouTube is the place to hear this song and get his whole collection to your ears.

That feeling when you care about someones well-being so much and how you witness their self-destruction right in front of your eyes. This is a tough feeling and can really cause long-lasting mental carnage. You try so hard but don’t seem to get through to them.

Thomas Bradley Project release reflective ”Falling Down”

Posted on 14 June 2020

Sometimes we fall down. If we have real friends and family around us then we are pulled up and stand up again. Leaving your past behind is the only way to avoid that sinking feeling. You can then grow and evolve while starting afresh.

This is the follow up to April 2020’s Eternal Sea from the Thomas Bradley Project that was brilliantly reviewed by Amelia Vandergast. What a song this is. This new creation is part of his new 4 part demo that is proving to be a fantastic series of music from the young musician and his band.

”Falling Down’‘ is a terrifically arranged song that is easy to get lost in. It’s so emotional and you can feel the hurt inside the vocals and lyrics from Thomas. Thomas Bradley is on Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar with Thomas Dean on Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals. The violin skills from Keisha Drury adds so much elegance to this song and I have goosebumps while listening to her. Thomas Bradley Project have together created a wonderful track that is sad and beautiful at the same time. This is about building yourself up after being hurt and mending the broken heart. This is a promising act that will get lots of love in the indie circles and they should be proud of this effort.

Peaceful energy by South African singer Beverly Jayne on her beautiful single ”Breathe”

Posted on 14 June 2020

When you are thinking too much it can be easy to forget something so simple like breathing. You get caught up in the moment and overthink for hours while pilling up worries like rocks in your backpack. Eventually you are going to be weighed down while climbing that mountain and fall back. Rolling down that hill will be sore but you will learn. Taking that breath will make you feel lighter and happier.

Beverly Jayne is one of the great female rock singers in South Africa and has made her mark fronting SA band Concussion Girl. From growing up with a rocker dad to her music teacher Gran- Beverly was always destined to be on stage. She is renowned as a phenomenal live performer with a distinctively unique vocal style. I get in lost in her voice and I feel like this artist deserves the biggest possible stage.

”Breathe” is a strong song and gets you thinking about your hopes and dreams. The track is simple but effective and I suddenly start breathing more while remembering that everything is going to be okay. I’m excited by Beverly Jayne’s song and it makes me feel happy. This is an artist with real stories and soul. She has played all of the country and hopefully will get a chance to tour overseas so that new fans can be born.

Time is always a precious moment and one that we need to make full use of. Being in that moment and really making it count, no matter how much you have of it. Casely has just put out a wonderful single that make you want to fly up and be with all those people you really care about.

This is a stunning song from R&B singer Casely as he takes us on a trip of passion and meaning. His voice is sharp and you want to listen to his every word. I love how peaceful this track is and the guitar riffs are calm and reassuring. His tale of love inside the song is sad but inspiring and we hear the hurt and stories about not letting pride get in the way- as this will eventually, hold us back. This is a fantastic song and one that all ages need to hear so that we can take a breath and look up above for guidance.
