King Lor Rudy & Jaylanie Drop Explosive New Single

 

Rising street lyricists King Lor Rudy and Jaylanie have officially released their highly anticipated single “Fine Shit”, a raw and melodic anthem that blends “sexy” with hypnotic production. Distributed through Roc Nation, the track marks a bold new chapter in East Coast street music, pairing Rudy’s signature cadence with Jaylanie’s infectious delivery.

Dialect Sosa - 3035: a space odyssey (Album)


Canadian hip-hop artist Dialect Sosa releases his highly anticipated sophomore project, 3035: a space odyssey, marking his second full-length album of 2025. The project follows his critically acclaimed and award nominated (Niagara Music Awards - Best Album) debut Ultra-Violence: Decline Of A Beautiful Mind, which dropped in February 2025 and cemented Sosa as one of the most compelling new voices in hip-hop.

“3035: a space odyssey” propels listeners on a daring trip beyond Earth’s atmosphere, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. With slick lyricism and bold conceptual storytelling, Sosa takes hip-hop into uncharted territory — weaving a tragically epic narrative that is at once theatrical, cinematic and cosmic. While rooted in the golden era hip-hop sound that shaped his artistic foundation, Sosa continues to expand his creative universe.

The album blends classic grit with experimental sonics, daringly incorporating new styles and ingredients. The result is a galactic hip-hop experience — smoother, more refined and elevated — showcasing an artist unafraid to take risks, reveal vulnerability and push boundaries. A highly ambitious follow-up to his acclaimed debut, “3035: a space odyssey” invites listeners on a bizarre, otherworldly ride through the cosmos — one that challenges perceptions of both music and meaning.

The Rise of JOMO: Misha & cocabona Craft Freedom Through Sound

 

While the world chases the next flashy distraction, it’s time to ditch the ‘Fear of Missing Out’ and embrace ‘JOMO – The Joy of Missing Out.’ Celebrated Finnish producer / artists Misha and cocabona’s new EP, JOMO, flips the script by inviting listeners to press pause, breathe deeply, and rediscover joy in the present moment.

Boasting more 190 million streams collectively, Misha and cocabona are redefining sonic boundaries. They seamlessly blend elements of soul, R&B, indie, hip-hop, and jazz, creating a project that celebrates the freedom of breaking free from perceived societal and environmental limitations. Dream big, and remain true to yourself.

Crafted between London, Helsinki, Amsterdam, and New York, the EP features an impressive roster of global talent, including Joya Mooi (NL), Kadeem Tyrell (UK), Latrell James (US), Relyae (US), ToriTori (US), Amelia Rose (UK), Tamara Mneney (DEN), and Jamiroquai drummer Derrick McKenzie, who appears on the single “The Present.” 

This isn’t a club record,” says MISHA, “it’s a soundtrack for those evenings when you don’t go out. Living in the moment doesn’t mean being everywhere at once — it means appreciating the quiet, present moments that often go unnoticed.”

Opening the EP is the title track “JOMO,” which sets the tone with a hypnotic mix of warm harmonies, fluid R&B melodies, and velvety atmospheric textures. Recorded at Spotify’s Metropolis Studios with acclaimed UK R&B / Soul visionary Kadeem Tyrell, the track is soulful yet quietly powerful – the spark that ignited the vision for the entire project. 

The journey continues with “Long Way From Home,” where ToriTori’s soaring vocals intertwine with Latrell James’ introspective bars in a deeply human meditation on distance, creating a genre-blurring kaleidoscope of sound that intimately fuses Boston soul with hip-hop storytelling. Standout track “The Present” features Jamiroquai drummer Derrick McKenzie’s infectious rhythms alongside lush guitar work and Joya Mooi’s ethereal vocals, creating a jazzy, dynamic soundscape. Striking a perfect balance between intricate melodies and modern flair, the result is an upbeat, immersive listening experience that feels both familiar and fresh. Joya adds, “it’s about having the courage to listen within, rather than following external expectations.” 

The EP then moves into “Wrong or Right,” exploring toxic relationships and heartbreak through Amelia Rose’s raw emotive delivery, woven together with a rich tapestry of downtempo, neo-soul, R&B, and dream-pop textures all elevated by her soulful, honey-drenched vocals. Progressing to “Star of The Show,” the tone shifts to empowerment, as Faroe Island R&B artist Tamara Mneney dazzling vocals power a radiant, seductive anthem celebrating presence, confidence, and self-love. 

Concluding the EP is “All Day Long,” a heartwarming and reflective track wrapped in a gentle, lullaby-esque sound. Featuring Relyae’s tender vocals and Monma’s delicate production, the song envelops listeners in warmth and serenity, creating a blanket of harmonious closure.

Misha and cocabona’s decade-long creative partnership, forged in Finland’s beat scene, boasts a comprehensive and diverse array of collaborations such as Jordan Astra, KALLITECHNIS, Evil Needle, and more. Following a celebrated performance at London’s Jazz Café and Misha’s official remix for GRAMMY-winner Lalah Hathaway, the duo will embark on a European tour this November, with stops in London, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, and Berlin. With a shared emphasis on live instrumentation, emotional depth, and genre fluidity, their production frames each guest artist’s performance in a way that feels intimate yet expansive. JOMO is not just a record; it’s a statement of artistic intent, reclaiming stillness as a radical and joyful act in an overstimulated world.

In the lead-up to the EP, Misha and cocabona’s singles “The Present,” “Long Way From Home,” and “Wrong Or Right” have secured prestigious spots on playlists such as Spotify’s Next Wave Soul, Soul Coffee, Soul N The City, as well as Apple Music’s Emerging R&B Songs, Alt R&B, Cozy Winter Nights, and Smooth and Easy, cementing JOMO as one of the year’s most anticipated releases.

In an era of filtered perfection, JKeeth strips away the facade to deliver raw, unfiltered truth through his music. He adds, “I just openly and vulnerably express what I’m experiencing in a poetic form – the good, bad, ugly, toxic, healthy, happy, sad, ratchet – I just sit, and allow all of these experiences to poetically flow directly from my lips.

As an artist inspired by Tupac’s poetic depth and DMX’s spiritual ferocity, JKeeth aims to make music that makes people feel understood. His journey as a young king finding love, navigating struggles, and breaking through barriers is all woven into his songs, bringing the rawness of real life to the smoothness of R&B.

Sentury’s recent reimagining of Jeffrey Osborne’s hit “Only Human” topped Billboard’s Adult R&B chart at #1 and earned praise from the original’s producer and co-writer, Barry Eastman. With stunning harmonies, dynamic stage presence, and magnetic charisma, CJ, Leo, AJ, and Rico continue to captivate audiences nationwide. Their artistry has been highlighted by major outlets like Rated R&B, Great Day Houston, Apple Music’s Smooth & Easy, Tearjerkers, Slow Dancing, Amazon Music’s Adult R&B, and more.

Sentury’s style is silk in motion—rich harmonies, vintage cool, and unapologetic soul draped in smooth suits and dimly lit desire. They effortlessly channel the golden age of R&B: think wine- soaked vocals over slow-dancing basslines, leather-bound notebooks of love letters, and late night phone calls under streetlamp halos. The production is lush but grounded—live instrumentation kissed with modern sheen, like satin slipping over a drumbeat. Their sound is sexy without showboating, vulnerable without weakness, and classic without sounding dated. This is grown-man R&B: respectful, romantic, and full of finesse. You don’t just listen to Sentury— you feel them in your chest. Perfect for riding top-down at dusk, two-stepping at weddings, or sipping slow at a lounge where love still lives.

Their stage presence has magnified audiences from coast to coast. The energy of Sentury is a signature within itself and everything they offer is something each and every individual can appreciate. Music is a gift for the ear and the soul so allow CJ, Leo, AJ, and Rico to upgrade you to the next Sentury.

Pre-Launch Features Exclusive CryptoBoxers: Round 1 Limited Edition NFT Release Honoring Legendary Boxing Referee Tony Weeks

Atlanta, GA – Concept creator Andrew Gilliam first pushed the technology envelope in the crypto gaming space back in 2019 with CryptoBoxers, the first boxing game prototype operating on blockchain technology. Gamers were in feverish anticipation of a portal that would feature real life boxers as collectible tokens with virtual fighting action. Then Covid happened. But you can’t keep a real fighter out the ring. Just in time for National Video Game Day 2025, PlayChange.io has announced the highly anticipated release of the pioneering CryptoBoxers virtual game, set for early 2026. PlayChange.io, also conceived by CEO and founder, Gilliam, is a new, futuristic gaming platform merging sports, blockchain, and A.I.

CryptoBoxers promotes the player as the ultimate crypto contender, switching the emphasis off the professional boxers and over to the gamer. The experience is a fully immersive, user friendly world where gamers will enter a fantasy boxing arena and engage in an interactive “gloves on” ring experience with the boxer of their choice.

The pre-launch will also offer exclusive NFTs tied to CryptoBoxers: Round 1, available to the public mid-September. World renowned referee Tony Weeks is the first NFT limited edition release. Weeks, whose legendary career spans several decades, is one of the most recognized and respected referees in boxing. His NFT is uniquely designed to function inside the game, recording professional match outcomes. Holders of the Tony Weeks NFT will earn a share of match-generated winnings automatically, what Gilliam describes as “passive income without lifting a glove.”

“Creating new revenue streams for athletes as well as gamers was always my vision,” explains Andrew Gilliam, creator and CEO of CryptoBoxers and PlayChange. “I’ve personally been in and out of many rings to finally bring CryptoBoxers to the market, and I’m deeply grateful for the journey. Athletes will be financially empowered, and players will be rewarded experientially and monetarily. CryptoBoxers on the PlayChange platform is a one-two knockout punch for the win!”

Our innovative technology enhances how athletes and players interact with the ecosystem, unlocking real financial opportunities. For the first time, gamers aren’t just spending money, they’re positioned to earn from play. This is a true shift from pay-to-play to play-to-own.”

“The long wait for CryptoBoxers will pay off in more ways this one,” cites Joseph Weiss, Special Projects Coordinator at PlayChange.io. “PlayChange is a platform with a genuine passion for all athletes to be treated fairly. They generate billions for the gaming industry and should be recognized as more than just licensing deals. With A.I., we’re delivering virtual competition at a much lower cost than our competitors, including a free limited subscription for early sign-ups. Every athlete is a partner with us and finally, they get equity in themselves that they can even pass down to their children. And gamers benefit as well with enhanced opportunities to earn while playing.”

Bugsy H. & Mephux - 90's In A Nutshell (Album)


Boston Rap heavyweight Bugsy H. teams up with acclaimed producer Mephux to drop their highly anticipated joint album, "90’s In A Nutshell" — a gritty, unapologetic homage to the golden era of rap. The project doesn’t just nod to the 90’s — it lives in its DNA.

"My block growing up was called "the nutshell," it was between two warring projects in the south end. So it [the title] was a play off that my block was the 290th block of Shawmut ave." says Bugsy H.

 With razor-sharp lyricism, cinematic street tales and Mephux’s hard-hitting boom-bap soundscapes, "90’s In A Nutshell" feels like a time capsule cracked open, reimagined for today’s audience. It’s equal parts homage and evolution, blending raw authenticity with a modern edge. The chemistry between Bugsy H.’s commanding presence and Mephux’s unmistakable production creates a soundscape that is as nostalgic as it is necessary in today’s climate of disposable singles and fleeting trends. 90’s In A Nutshell is available now on all major streaming platforms.
