Jack Vance – Joptle ft. Gerrard (prod. TUAMIE) (New Release)

Fresh off of ” Nineteen : A Conversation,” The Texan MC returns with a 1:50 track titled “Joptle.” The song starts off with a sample from “Martin,” & transitions into a short preview of Vance’s rapping abilities. The sample – laden , 90s boom bap instrumental reminds us of Kanye West in his Late Registration era. The most interesting thing to note about this track is that the artwork consists of a Chipotle burrito bowl. Hip hop better watch out, because a new chef is in town & it ain’t Stephen Curry w/ the pot.

Aarun Simon – Reflections (New Release)

Aarun Simon is a Philadelphia based artist who is a part of LV4 productions – a Philadelphia based arts & media collective. Aarun just recently dropped a project called “Reflections.” Overall, we thought “Reflections” was an amazing project! Aarun Simon displays a mass of potential with his witty lyrics and fluid delivery, and we have a gut feeling that Poseidon isn’t done blessing the boy yet. He kind of reminds us of J.Cole back in “The Warm Up” days, pouring his soul onto a canvas like BAsquiat painting his own self-portrait of the man in the mirror. The ‘reflection’ (pun intended)  that we show people on a daily basis needs to be properly checked and balanced, because we never know when it just might consume us. Simons does a great job at analyzing his own personal reflection within his own timeline, swan-diving head-on into a never-ending abyss of daily struggles, and emerging from the depths as a wiser man who is ready to take on the world. We’re excited to find out what else Aarun and the rest of LV4 has in-store for us in the near future.

Soraya Light – “Patron&Hennessy” (New Release)

Soraya Light is a 23 year old artist from the DMV who dropped an amazing track 10 hours ago titled, “Patron&Hennessy.” The subject matter is about as self-explanatory as a school syllabus. As Ms. Light is pouring out her love for her favorite drinks, you feel as if you’re vibing with a chick that you just met. The song emits a cloud nine – like vibe that makes you feel as if you’re back at your boy’s lit house party and you meet a girl with similar interests. After the party is over she gives you her number and tells you to hit her up. The lyrics are very relatable since we are, after all, a generation that lives and breathes the turn up. Soraya’s vocals sound as if they were gifted by the gods, almost like SZA and Eryn Allen Kane had a baby. We really like how she talks about pursuing her passion for music near the end of the track. With a song like this, we’re 100% convinced that Soraya Light will continue to shine as bright as the jewels of Queen Sheba.
