What are you working on currently?

I’m working on a crypto project, a collection of my songs I’ve made in the last few years pertaining to my journey buying and selling crypto/ trapping/ trying to make something of my life, an album that will show my relationship to drugs and show a path that a lot of us go through on a daily basis while trying to find a way to exist and create a meaningful truth in our lives

Talk to us about Buy The Dip, how did that song come about? 

Buy the dip was created after I started investing trap money and money from a 9-5 I was working at into crypto and stocks. I made over 100k off a number of cryptos like Solana, Matic, Mana, Dogecoin, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

What are your plans musically for 2022?

Getting my music out to the 🌎, as many ears as possible

Anything else you’d like to say?

Buy the fucking dip but don’t forget to meditate pray do yoga and get excercise. Sex drugs and money is a passion of mine, for a fact, but if you don’t have balance in your life you’re either a piece of shit or a bum💦🌎🤞😘

NWMN Drops A Remix To “Wayside” Featuring Flo Malcom

NWMN Drops A Remix To “Wayside” Featuring Flo Malcom

North Carolina turned LA native NWMN is out with his new track “Wayside”. A track he describes as experiencing a sudden and unexpected split, losing communication with a significant person in your life.

“The idea for the album was created when I had planned on going on a trip with a girl to Miami and thought everything was good, but an hour before the flight she backed out of both the trip and our relationship.” Still needing to head to the studio NWMN sat alone at the airport next to an empty seat and began pondering on the direction of the album, shortly after that’s how he began writing “Wayside” feeling as if he was literally “thrown by the wayside.” The track sets the tone for the album giving off the dark undertones that come with the downfalls of love and how things never seem to go one’s way, but also how the grand scheme of things can snap us back into reality.

The wavy track was produced by none other than Internet Money’s Paryo, a frequent collaborator for Lil Tecca and the lead producer for NWMN’s new project “Lust Issues”. “Wayside” also features a remix along with a soon-to-be-released video with Flo Malcom, a close friend of NWMN and an artist signed to Soulja Boy. Malcom took a liking to the song and wanted to join the project. Through the remix NWMN wanted to grab other people’s perspectives on similar situations that he’s had to endure “because in reality, we all deal with our own form of this type of scenario at least once in our lives if not many.”

“Overall this project has a dark aesthetic but is a detailed documentation of my struggle with a breakup, my longing to still be with that person, and my ultimate closure.”

“Wayside” is out now on all streaming platforms along with the remix! Check out the video in the link down below.

El Dirty AC Drops Highly Anticipate Visual for “Head In The Clouds”

El Dirty AC presents the latest visuals for his track “Head In The Clouds” off his latest album Dirty Stacks. The Naptown native (hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana) took to the deserts of Las Vegas for this video rather than the familiar scenery of the strip. The video displays the mountainous terrains of the Nevada desert and cacti-filled plains, along with garage rooftop shots. 

“If ya drive’s to feed ya family we got similar goals” and “In this life that could happen at the end of the ready and you gotta look at God when they deliver ya soul” are bars that resonate with the artist as he describes the track to be a real testament to being true to oneself even when the path may seem endless.

Scoob Stacks the producer of not only “Head In The Clouds” but the whole “Dirty Stacks” project has quite a catalog featuring placements with Gucci Mane, Cuban Doll, and Hoodrich Pablo Juan to name a few. El Dirty AC has been making music as early as 2015 releasing his own music and showcases. His plans for the future entail dropping multiple projects as well as releasing more merch and hosting several more events in 2022.
