Grateful Edmund - "Turn up on Sunday" [Audio Video]

”Turn up on Sunday" is a rare gem of a Hip-Hop track from Washington D.C.'s own Grateful Edmund. The gospel-inspired track produced by Hits By Jude brings back a feeling the culture has been missing for quite some time. Although the overall tone of the track feels like a gospel track, it actually feels more like a day party or grown man infused party record that you could even play at a wedding. "Turn up on Sunday" could be this generations version of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's Summertime song. Check out the song on Youtube or stream "Turn up on Sunday” on Spotify and Apple music right now. 

Bio: Grateful Edmund the emcee from Washington, D.C. helps keep the culture of Hip-Hop alive bringing back soulful beats and sharp lyricism. His music inspired by some raps caviar like AZ, PUSHA T, NAS, and JAY-Z, his music quickly reminds you of some of the greats of the 90s but still has a fresh take on the music for today’s audience. He released his first single "FREE YA MIND" in February (2018) and has since released a second single "Every N**ga is a Star" in June as a smashing follow-up both singles give a solid perspective of what we can expect down the road from the upcoming project "THE LAST 10" Mixtape. Grateful Edmund has toured internationally, visiting the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and North America, as well as shows in South America, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

SS - "Gasolina" [Video]

Newcomer SS announces himself with these stripped back club inspired visuals for his latest single ‘Gasolina’. Dropped on GRM Daily, the video follows his remix of Not3s’ ‘M3 Not You’ from earlier this year, with both tracks showcasing what’s to come from the burgeoning producer/mc/creative. Recent studio sessions with the likes of Dappy and G-Money have resulted in a collection of tracks which will make up his debut EP, chalked for release later this year.

As CEO of Sound Records Ltd (a label he set up himself), the ambitious youngster aims to put out music from other acts as well as his own. Having already made some serious moves in 2017, at 16 he produced the award winning afrobeat star Samini’s single ‘One Shot’, a song which earned radio plays on BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra and further interviews with DJ Edu and Abrantee. Off his own back his second release ‘Know’ was championed by HotNewHipHop, indicating a potential cross-Atlantic appeal for his music also.

Whilst having a vibrant sound in line with his peers, SS’ music is deeply rooted in artistry and musicality from the past, as he embraces the classic records he was brought up - from Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B, Rare Groove, Jungle, Garage and the like. His music covers the emotions of a young man finding his place in this ever changing world.

‘Gasolina’ is out now on all streaming platforms

Daz Dillinger & Rich Espy - "Sunrise" [Video]

West Coast legend Daz Dillinger and rising star Rich Espy are kicking off the summer with a brand new video for their banger "Sunrise.”

The collaboration, which is featured on Rich Espy’s new album Westland, fuses two generations of West Coast talent together and is also a family affair, as Daz is Espy's uncle.

Their familiarity and chemistry is evident on the first listen, with the smooth production providing a perfect backdrop for their tales.

Serious Klein - "Coochie Money" [Video]

Germany-based, Ghanian rapper Serious Klein follows up " Boy Boy " and COLORS favourite " 91 Flex " with a brash new track entitled " Coochie Money ", along with drops spine-tingling visuals.

"Coochie Money" holds traces of 90's rap track, waxing lyrical about the topics we hear most frequently in hip-hop (money, partying and women), but done in a classy, subdued fashion over a dusty instrumental. With hints of soul, spoken word, and in some parts, a flow which could be mistaken for a young Tupac track, Seri's diversity of sound, grasp of rhythm and rhyme, as well as overarching artist direction (which extends to his visual and brand identity) puts him in the same league as artists such as Tyler The Creator, Vince Staples and Kendrick Lamar.

Airplane James feat. Jay Worthy - "5FT" [Video]

Los Angeles has long been recognized as a hub of rap talent and it’s no different for rising star Airplane James, who just dropped a new single called “5 FT” featuring Jay Worthy.

The Diamond Lane Music Group rep has a classic LA banger on his hands with “5 FT,” complete with that signature Cali style and sound from both rappers, who make it clear to keep any drama at least five feet away from them.

Airplane James feat. Problem - "All Mine" [Video]

Fresh off the release of his last song and video combo, “5 FT”, Airplane James is back at it with a new dual treat called “All Mine” to prove the game is his for the taking.

The video further enriches the experience, with both Diamond Lane reps taking viewers along for the ride and pictures their verses paint, complete with a casual “day in the life” Los Angeles setting as the backdrop.

CMG Bosses are Feeling “Blessed” in New Music Video

Rap duo CMG Bosses (Catch My Game Bosses) have released the music video to their self-empowering and inspiring single “Blessed”.

Consisting of music industry experts AW and Sleep, the duo’s experience in production is clear in this incredibly well-produced track, featuring some reflective hard-hitting lyrics about the ups and downs of life. The duo expresses their belief that no matter how many times you get knocked down, you just have to get back up again, and persevere through it all.

Having been moved by recent tragic personal events, namely the loss of loved ones, CMG Bosses decided to write this track and film the accompanying video in a cemetery. The unusual choice in scenery compliments the track’s lyrics that are focused on expressing gratitude, and feeling “Blessed” to be alive, despite the undesirable things and moments life throws your way. The visual accompaniment makes us appreciate life for all that it is, and ourselves, imperfections and all. The video is also interspersed with clips of street violence, once again showing us that we should be grateful to be alive, even in tough times.

Everyone has a story to tell, as this track suggests, and CMG Bosses have created an exemplary video to tell their story. Keep up with the duo on Instagram and remember to always keep your head up.

Duncan Morley - "Find You Now" ft. Rick Ross [Video]

The road to redemption is paved with shadows of the past, but those who are able to see greatness at the end of this road shine brightly, even through the darkest shade. A man with a troubled youth, Duncan Morley is now on a righteous path and blue skies are ahead. With the help of The Boss himself, Rick Ross, and the team at Blue Sapphire Music Group who are working hard to make things happen, Morley is gearing up to make his worldwide debut with his first single, "Find You Now", and set the entertainment business ablaze.

For Morley, growing up was a learning experience for both him and his parents. Raised in the Northeast city of Boston, MA, he was the kind of kid who was always causing trouble. He was an Indigo child that was always thinking outside the box...including in his schemes. After stealing a friend's mom's car and entering a high-speed chase with the authorities, his parents thought it was time for some corrective education.

Although most attempts to subdue the fire in his soul were null (he was sent to all kinds of alternative correctional facilities, ranging from wilderness programs to military school), one habit he picked up in the woods has stayed with him to this day: meditation. In his own words, "the more you do it, the brighter and brighter you become," and brighter has he shined. Since picking up meditation, Morley studied studio recording in Los Angeles, where he uncovered his love for pop music and culture, as well as his passion to positively influence people around him. Morley has been catching a lot of attention within the industry and has now teamed up with one of the biggest name in the music industry, Rick Ross

Ross, a Grammy-nominated rapper, entrepreneur and founder of Maybach Music Group, is determined to bring Morley's talents to the forefront of pop culture. He invited this new artist to his mansion in Atlanta, GA where described him as having "the presence of a king."

"Find You Now" came about as a result of this relationship, featuring The Boss on a verse and in the music video. The song holds a deep meaning beneath the surface. Externally about a lost love, Morley's wordplay hints at a spiritual backbone searching for mindfulness in the present moment.
