About this song
Charlie Curtis-Beard is a Chicago based rapper debuting his second single off his upcoming LP, Existential On Lake Shore Drive (XOlsd for short). Along with the single is a La La Land inspired music video created by Reed Carson, Darren Bui, and Charlie himself. It's fun, catchy, and speaks to the topic of interracial dating with tongue in cheek lyricism. Hence the name, "Fried Chicken."
Expect XOlsd to drop sometime this winter.

Simmer Town collective presents JJOOBBEE’s debut EP AYE EYE
Dreamy Melbourne neo-jazz outfit JJOOBBEE are excited to release their new and debut EP AYE EYE.
The whimsical vocal range of Jemima Brett is laid onto a solid backline of experienced Melbourne musicians, and produced by Ethiopian-Australian MC, Mikiyas Alemu AKA Bizz from the Simmer Town collective (Royalty Noise).
Five tracks of musical exploration make up AYE EYE’s quest to bring out the genuine language of life’s learnings, in Brett’s first foray into the music industry.
“The concept is just about getting over humps and bumps and trying to get confidence to work out how you’re feeling about everything and then put that into something solid. It’s a chaotic, nonsensical concept, because I was just working out how to write songs, make music with friends and have fun, having never done it before.” – Jemima Brett.
Brett’s raw vocal vulnerability is brought back down to earth with the smooth, tight and driving rhythms of Daniel Richardson on drums, funky bass lines of renowned multi-instrumentalist Yoseph Bekele, and soulful expertise of Nadav Rayman on keys.
The band’s diverse influences – A Tribe Called Quest, Diamond D, Frank Ocean, Hiatus Kayote, Nina Simone – are merged with Brett’s Scottish folk roots and producer Bizz’s Ethiopian background to create a timeless sound that lulls and pulls on the heartstrings.
JJOOBBEE’s poetic lyrics have been transformed into a colourful visual masterpiece in the dream-like video clip for the first single “Into The Light”, a taste of what is yet to come from this refreshing addition to the Melbourne neo-soul scene.

South London’s AyHay is one of those rare hip hop artists who is able to combine a fun, comical approach to music making with witty bars, catchy hooks and on point hip hop/trap production. His latest single ‘On My Life’ showcases this skill of writing stick in your head trap tunes with trademark comical visuals to boot. He has fast become known for creating comical music videos, blending 90’s US Hip Hop and trap with catchy choruses and hard hitting 808’s.
Never one to take himself too seriously with his video content, he’s delivered a colourful eccentric video, shot in Norway and directed by himself and Pia Nara Thorsen. From rapping on a hammock to taking selfies with plastic flamingos and letting them sip on his wine, AyHay sings melodic flows over the catchy SLeh Beats production. ‘On My Life’ is the first single taken from AyHay's ‘WAIT’ project dropping later this year which features highly acclaimed US emcee VI Seconds .
"It started off as a freestyle and when I listened back I was going to change the verses to make them more complex in terms of lyrics and flow but they were just too catchy to change. I sent my friend a demo version and asked if I should change the verses and he said "No, it's perfect, don't change a thing!”
Ayhay first become known to the hip hop scene after he featured in a TEAMBACKPACK cypher , showcasing his bars to US crowds whilst on tour. Other rappers to have graced the TEAMBACKPACK platform include; CyHi The Prince (Kanye West's G.O.O.D label), Joell Ortiz (Slaughterhouse and Eminem's Shady Records), KYLE (iSpy with Lil Yatchy), Hopsin and Dizzy Wright.

"Drew Barrymore" is the new single from LA-based indie/R&B artist Bryce Vine.
He says on the track - "Drew Barrymore has become iconic to my generation. In a way, she's like Hollywood royalty. There's something special about her that is hard to put in to words. The girl i'm talking about in the song has that same charm. it's an unexplainable admiration for a special person - whoever that may be in your own life."
Earlier this year, Peezy signed to Bay legend E-40's Sick Wid It Records, eventually grabbing a deal with 300. Today, he's announcing his debut EP, Humble Beginnings, which is scheduled for an October release and is exclusively produced by Cardo (who's also worked with the likes of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Jeezy, among others). He says he learned a lot in the process of putting together an entire body of work. "All my life, if I wasn't feeling something, I'd just stop it and move onto the next thing. But I learned that putting a whole tape together, you could record one song that you don't like but that don't mean you gotta put it on the tape. I'm sitting on 90-95 songs right now. But I'm only putting six songs on Humble Beginnings.
GQ Nothin Pretty’s new video for “In The House” is a high-energy, bravado-fueled romp through NYC, featuring underground stalwarts Ruste Juxx and King Magnetic, who drop bars with reckless abandon over Trilian’s neck snapping production.
The video’s directed by Tim Foster for We L!IVE TV , with additional support provided by Pachino for Naked Eye Filmz, with cover art and media promo by Adam Tummons for AT Media . And to say their vision perfectly captures the vibe of the track would be a massive understatement. With slick cuts courtesy of DJ TMB, bits of clever animation, and sharp editing, the “In The House” video feels like the perfect marriage of old-school tenacity with new-school technology.
The visuals are also a strong reminder that you shouldn’t be sleeping on GQ Nothin Pretty. The PA by way of BX emcee dropped his impressive Animation album earlier this year, which in addition to Ruste Juxx and King Magnetic, includes features from the likes of Nutso, Blacastan, Ras Kass, and Tragedy Khadafi, among others. If you’re looking for that raw, Animation’s got you covered. But you already knew that if you were breakin’ your neck while watching “In The House.”

Check out the Behind the Soul video on the evolution of Eamon's Golden Rail Hotel .
WATCH: "BE MY GIRL"
STREAM: "BEFORE I DIE"
R&B/Soul singer, Eamon, probably best known for his 2003 hit “F**k It (I Don’t Want You Back)" returns with a soulful new song and video aptly titled “I Got Soul” that is steeped in late 60’s-early 70’s homage. Eamon brings viewers into his chaotic but fun-loving community at the Golden Rail Motel in a sweeping single-shot video deftly directed by Doug Quill.
“I Got Soul” was produced by Eamon and Dan Ubick (Connie Price & The Keystones) with co-production by Stoupe (Jedi Mind Tricks) and additional production by Steve Kaye and appears on Eamon’s first new album in over a decade, “Golden Rail Motel,” out September 15th.
“In my opinion, there's something special about someone writing a song from a humble state. I love hearing stories from people who admit brokenness. I never mind taking shots at myself because I know who I am. I wanted to write a song stating that I don't need what the world tells us we need. I got what I got and I got what I need.” EAMON
Eamon delivers a fiery collection of new material, an album soaked in soul that plays like a modern soundtrack to a bygone era of music making.
After selling millions of records worldwide and hitting #1 on the charts in over 40 countries, Eamon returns with a renewed passion on his upcoming full-length LP, Golden Rail Motel. The LP not only signifies a return of one of R&B’s most powerful voices, but also marks a new chapter for Eamon, both personally and professionally. An early onslaught of fame, money, and all the trappings of instantaneous, worldwide success led to hardships and struggles for the young Eamon, and his demons almost derailed his very promising career and life—a journey that is captured on the album.
The classic blue Impala nearly steals the show in this beautifully shot Hip Hop & Soul collaboration that's sure to "Change The Frequency" of the mumble rapping that has infiltrated the genre.
