The music is big summertime, windows-down vibes as Pearl gives us an update of where his life has been during these shaky times. Pearl says “I’ve had a lot of ups and downs and with that, a lot of time to reflect on what I’ve been doing and feeling”. He wanted to release the next project at the right time, in part due to the quarantine. “404 vol.2” Is the next part of the first project Pearl released a couple of years ago and is currently out on all platforms.

Pearl is also representing and collaborating with artists such as Callthisnumber and Portland guitarist Dante Smith. “These features also mean a lot to me” Pearl expressed “All three of them had a major hand in the overall end result”. These artists blended nicely on the featured tracks, complementing the genre-bending beats and vocal melodies produce a beautiful trance. Tracks like “Palm Springs” and “Show Me” draw you in close for a burst of clarity and provides catchy themes. “In short my inspiration for this project was to write a love letter to the ups and downs I’ve gone through since I released 404 vol.1”.

Torontoroom is a popular instagram page created by Toronto citizen JS. He wanted to bring more outlets to Canada. He felt there weren’t many for artists and brands to expand.

The brand posts controversial content, your latest music and news with also a wide range of funny memes to bring light to your day. It’s a great page to follow for good entertainment.

Their team also offers paid promotions for artists to reach maximum exposure. They also offer artists placement on their Spotify trending playlist “Torontoroom Premiers”. I can see this playlist growing very popular in the near future.

The goal was to bring Toronto together so they can have more artists make it out of the city. (“The city is divided right now. Many artists could have made it out but this envy from everyone else is stopping that” – JS) 

Torontoroom has got attention from popular artists from Toronto such as Chromazz, Lil Berete, Ar.Paisley, Roney, Duvy and many more! You should add your name to the list!

Torontoroom is trying to reach a higher goal. JS and his team are working on their Torontoroom Premier YouTube page. They’re always constantly looking for other places where they can expand.

Both born in Syracuse, New York, AllStarr and Lucciano have come together to put their experiences growing up into catchy music. Starting with Tory ‘Lucciano’ Davis, he delves into the poverty of Syracuse and there being not many places for emotional release, causing music to be that liberation. Along with his environment, he pays tribute to his legendary grandfather for influencing his creative process and passion for music. When describing his music, Lucciano “wouldn’t really want to put a label on my music because I like all music. I could be making a drill song, and then 5 mins later write a country song. It really depends on my mood or the mood of the people around me”. Still sitting on some of his personal favorite creations, Lucciano believes him and AllStarr have the fueled passion backed by the music to take the industry by storm.

Flipping to his counterpart, Dasean ‘AllStarr’ Savery likes to mix Syracuse with his experiences of being in the Bronx for a significant part of his childhood. Growing up in a musically inspired family as well, he began writing music at the age of 12 without producing a single until the age of 21. After developing those years of songs into bangers, AllStarr had the opportunity to open for the XXL Freshman Class performance in Jacksonville, Florida. Bringing his northern inspiration to Florida, his catchiness has led him to top industry professionals wishing to help propel his career. He prides himself on his ability to perform any stage always giving the audience a show worth paying for. Referring to the XXL show, “I went on stage and gave it my all and by me doing that I had a successful show from fans wanting pictures and autographs to famous artist acknowledging who I was”. 

Both Syracuse artists are sitting on years of unreleased music waiting for the right time to take over their avenue in the industry. Already with hits out, validate the continuation of their careers as they keep releasing all their sacred hits. With their latest collaboration climbing the charts, make sure you show your support to AllStarr and Lucciano with tuning in on all streaming platforms!

An underground hero who never stops working, BONES built a cult fanbase with his gritty and sharply-crafted hip-hop tunes. Drawing us deep into his headspace, BONES announces PushingUpDaisies, his upcoming project, created in collaboration with TeamSESHproducer Deergod. Friends since childhood, BONES and Deergod are kindred spirits, each more-than-willing to experiment with sonics to serve the messages in their songs. Deergod’s production palette is wide-ranging, borrowing hazy orchestral flourishes for headtrips like “BluntsInTheRain,” crafting soulful boom-bap on tracks like “P.S. 118,“ dabbling in dark trap for downtempo bangers like “Clickin’,“ and layering intricate guitar patterns on the tape’s more melodic tracks, including “Lasso.“ Throughout the project, BONES effortlessly matches Deergod’s wavelength, alternating stutter-stepping triplet flows with smoothly emotional singing, often on the same track. A worthy and immersive addition to BONES’ massive catalog, PushingUpDaisies releases on March 26thvia TeamSESH/EMPIRE.

Along with the announcement of the album, BONES and Deergod share the video for “PopRocks,” a highlight from the tape. Blessed with an ethereal instrumental from Deergod, defined by sharp drums and a slightly offbeat, detuned keyboard melody, “PopRocks” is a mission statement for the prolific BONES, as the Michigan-born rapper pledges allegiance to the grind: “I’m a speak my mind ’til I can’t no more/Underground slangin’, movin’ in slo mo.” 

BONES has proven to be one of the most enduring, influential, and creative hip-hop artists to emerge in the early 2010s. The TeamSESH founder has recorded dozens of albums, racking up hundreds of millions of streams and feeding a fanbase that eagerly awaits his every move. Despite remaining fiercely independent and true to his underground roots, his music has permeated the mainstream–in 2015, A$AP Rocky sampled BONES’ song “Dirt” for “Canal St.” (124 million streams), and in recent years, BONES has performed in prime slots at festivals such as Rolling Loud as a member of Seshollowaterboyz (along with Xavier Wülf, Chris Travis, and Eddy Baker). The 27-year-old rapper and new father has already had a busy 2021, releasing his BURDEN album in January and releasing albums recorded under the moniker surrenderdorothy onto DSPs for the first time ever.

Stay tuned for much more music from BONES, who plans to keep a busy release schedule during 2021 and beyond.
