D-LANSKY - "THROW AWAY"

Fresno rapper D-Lansky presents “Throw Away”, his new single produced by Sir Veterano and featuring Sacramento underground veteran Squeak Ru alongside Vallejo rap pioneer Dubee Sugawolf Pimp, a longtime affiliate of the Mac Dre and Thizz Entertainment era of Bay Area rap. “Throw Away” is the latest in a string of singles and videos from D-Lansky including “Broadway” as well as “Recession Free” featuring San Diego veteran Mitchy Slick. Initially pretending to be a rapper “just to rob other rappers”, the Chicano rapper sold more than 15,000 CD copies of his underground debut Dogs For Life before being discovered on the streets of North Las Vegas by legendary radio personality Jack Gibson a.k.a. Jack The Rapper. Forming Breadhouse Entertainment after Jack’s untimely death, Lansky went on to release Assault On Precinct America in 2003 and Hood Thugocracy in 2012. Over the years he has worked with Def Jam South, Thizz Nation, Gold Chain Music, Mass Appeal, Planet Asia, The Game, Fashawn, Sleepdank, Kinetic 9 and Nino Bless. “Throw Away” is out now on Breadhouse, with Lansky’s forthcoming album Once Upon A Time In The West Coast coming soon.

Terror D Releases “Sensational”

Rising Afrobeats artist Terror D returns with his latest single, “Sensational,” a smooth fusion of Afrobeats and dancehall that reflects his cross-continental journey and global ambitions.

Originally from Sierra Leone and now based in Sydney, Terror D has built a loyal audience across West Africa before expanding into international markets. “Sensational” marks a defining step in that evolution — delivering an infectious, laid-back groove designed for both playlists and live audiences.

Blending rhythmic Afrobeats foundations with dancehall influences, the track captures the essence of Terror D’s sound: culturally rooted yet globally accessible. It’s a release that speaks directly to the growing Afrobeats movement across the UK, US, and global diaspora.

Speaking on the release, Terror D shares:

“ ‘Sensational’ is more than just a vibe — it represents my journey from Sierra Leone to Australia and the vision of taking my sound to the world. I wanted to create something that people can feel, whether they’re on the dancefloor or just vibing in their own space.”

Terror D’s story is central to his appeal. From his beginnings in Sierra Leone to establishing himself in Australia, his music reflects a bridge between continents — merging African identity with a modern, international perspective.

He has previously collaborated with notable artists including Ice Prince, Bracket, Solidstar, Timomatic, Kao Denero, LAJ, and Emerson, reinforcing his credibility across both African and global music networks.

With “Sensational,” Terror D continues to push boundaries, positioning himself as one of the emerging voices to watch within the global Afrobeats scene.

RAMO Drops Energetic New Single “Run It Up” Alongside Cinematic Visual Rollout

 

Hamilton artist RAMO is continuing his rise with the release of his latest single, “Run It Up,” a high-energy record that blends melodic trap production, infectious hooks, and polished delivery into a sound built for repeat listens.

The release captures the raw hunger and charisma that originally drew attention to RAMO’s music while showcasing a more refined and complete artistic direction. Backed by cinematic visuals and an aggressive content rollout across social media, “Run It Up” represents a major step forward for the Ontario artist as he prepares for one of his biggest creative runs yet.

Built around hard-hitting production and memorable melodies, the track highlights RAMO’s ability to create music that connects both in headphones and in high-energy environments. The visual presentation surrounding the release further amplifies the record’s momentum, with high-quality music video production and curated short-form content helping build anticipation across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

More importantly, “Run It Up” serves as the introduction to RAMO’s larger vision moving forward. Rather than staying confined to one sound, the Hamilton artist is preparing to split his upcoming releases into two distinct styles that showcase the full range of his artistry.

One side of RAMO’s upcoming catalog focuses on gritty melodic trap records built around hard-hitting production, catchy hooks, and high-energy delivery. The other lane leans into wavy summer-inspired music, blending dancehall and house influences to create infectious records designed for clubs, festivals, and worldwide playlists.

The dual-style approach reflects RAMO’s refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Having spent years developing a sound influenced by rap, hip-hop, pop, dancehall, and house music, he is now entering a stage where both sides of his creativity will be fully showcased through consistent releases and cinematic visuals.

His journey first gained local attention after a school freestyle known as “No Spanish” spread rapidly throughout Hamilton. Originally recorded casually on a voice memo, the freestyle became a city-wide viral moment that helped spark RAMO’s musical pursuit and introduced audiences to his natural confidence and presence.

That momentum carried into his early SoundCloud releases, where tracks like “I Know” and “1Time” developed a loyal underground following with crowds regularly singing the lyrics word-for-word at local events and gatherings.

Today, RAMO is building on that foundation with a stronger visual identity, larger-scale rollouts, and a growing audience across social media. With multiple singles, videos, and projects lined up, “Run It Up” marks the beginning of a new chapter that fully introduces both sides of RAMO’s sound to a wider audience.

“Run It Up” is available now on all streaming platforms.

Aja Maria Impresses With New Hit Single “Congratulations”

 

A hypnotic and sultry R&B slow-burn, “Congratulations” plays out like intimate late-night pillow talk about a love that keeps on going. Aja Maria confides, “..it’s the victory lap of love. The kind that once ran but feels destined to return. It holds a hopeful, optimistic belief that what’s meant for you will find its way back, stronger and ready to be chosen again.” Anchored by warm bass and layered sonic textures, Aja delivers an irresistible performance that balances vulnerability with confident, sensual energy.

Baltimore-born and inspired by Anita Baker, Sade, Brandy, and Tank, Aja Maria crafts emotive R&B / soul rooted in honest, heartfelt storytelling. Her foundation in performance began early, making her Broadway debut at just 12 years old. “Congratulations” is part of her debut full-length, produced by King Midas (Tory Lanez, Teyana Taylor, Justin Bieber).

Aja Maria is the kind of artist who doesn’t just sing, she transmits. Born in Baltimore and raised on the sounds of Anita Baker, Sade, and Tank, her music blends R&B and soul with heavy emotion and an unapologetic sense of truth.  From a childhood spent performing in musicals to a Broadway debut at the mere age of 12, Aja’s journey has always been rooted in purpose. Her voice, smooth yet aching, carries stories of heartbreak, healing, and raw self-worth.

Aja’s breakout single “Brand New” is a powerful and resonant release that marks both a personal and artistic rebirth. The record signals a bold new era, setting the tone for her debut album produced by King Midas, a vulnerable, soul-drenched body of work that refuses to play by industry rules. Her second single “Congratulations” is a sultry, late-night groove centered around a love that continues to find its way back.

More than just a vibe, Aja is a force. She doesn’t chase trends, she builds sanctuaries with sound. Her work is deeply intentional, echoing themes of love, loss, sensuality, and spiritual growth. Whether it’s a lyric, a look, or a moment on stage, everything she touches is rooted in impact. Her mission? Shift culture. Move people. And create art that hits deeper than the charts for the people who need it most.

Sémaj Releases Captivating New Single “Love Ain’t Fair”

 

Blending deep-cut R&B emotion with cinematic storytelling, “Love Ain’t Fair” taps into the heartbreak, tension, and loneliness that shows up when love starts slipping away. Fueled by moody, late-night production and soulful R&B textures by Grammy-winning producer Guitar Boy (Chris Brown, Usher,Trey Songz), Sémaj blends emotional depth with a vocal delivery that feels deeply personal and fully immersed in every emotion.

Hailing from Chicago, Sémaj is an emerging artist shaping the next generation of R&B. His sound is intimate, addictive, and built for genuine connection.

Raised on the Southside of Chicago, Sémaj is a rising R&B artist whose music blends vulnerability, confidence, and modern romance. Shaped by a childhood rooted in resilience, family sacrifice, and self-discovery, his sound reflects both where he comes from and where he is headed.

Growing up in neighborhoods marked by violence, gangs, drugs, and loss, Sémaj faced obstacles that could have easily defined his future. Instead, those experiences deepened his perspective and gave his music its emotional weight. Raised primarily by his mother and guided by his late grandfather, Sémaj learned perseverance early. His grandfather introduced him to timeless artists like The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson, laying the foundation for a love of classic soul and R&B that influences his sound today. As his own musical taste evolved, he also drew inspiration from acts like New Edition and Bobby Brown.

Although music was not his first career path, it became his calling over time. Sémaj played alto saxophone in high school, building an early connection to melody and musicianship before discovering his singing voice in college. A defining moment came during an open mic performance on campus, when he felt the crowd lock in and realized music had the power to bring people together. That sense of connection is what drives his work as an artist. For Sémaj, music is a universal language, and authenticity is non-negotiable.

Sémaj’s creative process is driven by reflection. Often writing by the lake, he sees nature as inspiration. Sometimes a beat shapes the direction of a song; other times lyrics come first and the melody follows. Whether he’s drawing from his own experiences or the lives of people around him, the goal remains the same: create music that connects. Blending nostalgic soulfulness with a modern emotional perspective, his aesthetic is romantic, expressive, and grounded, positioning him as part of a new generation of R&B artists who are both confident and vulnerable.

His debut single “Love Ain’t Fair” is built around the universal experience of heartbreak and the emotional gamble of love. The track is in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Guitar Boy (Chris Brown, Usher, Treysongz) and features smooth production and confessional lyrics. The accompanying music video opens with a tense confrontation between Sémaj and his partner, then shifts into a raw visual narrative of conflict, vulnerability, and longing.

Now stepping fully into his own, Sémaj is focused on genuine connection with his listeners. Born from hardship and carried by heart, Sémaj is R&B’s new breakout voice.

10x Billboard Charting R&B Group Sentury Return With New Hit Single "Don't Mind"

 

Fresh off their back-to-back #1 Billboard hits “Only Human” and “Forever,” these Houston-based R&B hitmakers are turning the temperature all the way up with “Don’t Mind,” a late-night slow jam dripping in tension, anticipation, and grown-man restraint. Serving as the next chapter to the love story introduced in “Forever,” the record picks up after the vows. Built around the seductive refrain, “If I kiss you like this, hold you like this tonight,” the record captures that electric moment when two people already know where the night could go, but nobody’s rushing it.

As the first R&B group in 25 years to land a Billboard #1, the 10x Billboard-charting quartet has amassed millions of streams and views while earning placements on major editorial playlists across Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Pandora. The group also performed at Essence Fest and has received acclaim from Billboard, Rated R&B, Great Day Houston, and many more.

With roots deep in Houston, TX, R&B powerhouse Sentury is carrying the torch for the Golden Era of modern R&B. Their music nods to the legacy of classic groups, with rich layered harmonies and heartfelt storytelling combined with a sleek modern edge. Together, Leo, CJ, AJ, and Rico deliver what they proudly call “grown man R&B.”

Sentury’s origins trace back to church, with all four teen members finding one another while singing at services and fellowships. The group initially began in 2011 with a tight musical bond between Leo, AJ and Rico, but they knew they needed a special fourth to complete the group. When they discovered the enormous talent in CJ, they wasted no time. After getting a seal of approval from CJ’s mother, the magic of Sentury was formed.

Sentury’s style is silk in motion. They embody rich harmonies, vintage cool, and unapologetic soul draped in smooth suits and dimly lit desire. Blending smooth velvety vocals, swaying basslines, and rich live instrumentation, their sound is seductive yet understated, emotional yet resilient, and classic while still fresh.

The hitmakers have 10 Billboard-charting songs. Initially signed with a major label, they made the decision to go independent when Leo of the group founded his own record label, Gateway Records. This decision let Sentury obtain full creative and promotional control, fueling their success. Their 2025 single “Only Human” is a fresh but faithful reimagining of the Jeffrey Osborne classic. The single climbed to #1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B chart and electrified audiences nationwide, garnering praise from industry legends including the original hitmakers themselves. The achievement cemented Sentury as not just carriers of the R&B tradition, but as innovators shaping its future. Their follow-up release “Forever,” also released in 2025, reached #1 on the Billboard charts, giving the group two back-to-back #1 singles, a milestone that few artists will ever reach. “Forever” is an emotionally-charged track celebrating the themes of enduring love, devotion, and commitment. The song’s harmonies and melodies beautifully convey the passionate feelings of finding someone who brings pure joy and completes your world. Now in 2026, their latest release “Don’t Mind” continues the storyline, with Leo describing it as “a follow-up to the love story in ‘Forever’. The couple is planning their wedding and life together.”

In an era filled with disposal dating, Sentury stands for something deeper –  genuine romance, real connection, and music with meaning. They aren’t just reviving R&B; they’re redefining it for a generation craving authenticity, proving that true soul never goes out of style.

AdeBoy Releases “Good Die Young” (Video)

At 15 years old, AdeBoy lost his father, a loss that would shape the direction of his  life long before he fully understood its impact. 

Now at 40, the artist returns to Nigeria in an emotional journey back to his roots,  reconnecting with family, identity and the memory of the man whose absence has  echoed through every chapter of his life. 

Captured through powerful visuals and raw storytelling, “Good Die Young” is more  than a song. It is a moment of reflection, healing and legacy. 

Traveling back to stand at his father’s grave became a spiritual experience for  AdeBoy. It was not simply about mourning loss, but about understanding lineage,  honouring sacrifice and recognizing how deeply a father’s presence can continue to  live through generations even after death. 

“This song is deeply personal to me,” AdeBoy explains. “I created it in loving memory  of my father and to honour the people we carry with us long after they’re gone.”

Blending vulnerability with strength, “Good Die Young” speaks to anyone who has  experienced grief, separation or the lifelong search for identity and belonging. The  record carries themes of resilience, generational connection and the unbreakable  bond between father and son. 

Though his father passed away too soon, AdeBoy believes his spirit lives on through  him, through his children and through the family legacy that continues to grow. 

The accompanying visual journey through Nigeria reinforces that message,  grounding the release in heritage, remembrance and reconnection. 

“His name, his strength and his story will never fade. This record is for him. This moment is for legacy.”

Tezzerd Eagle & Swoe Whoa take the “Jiggalate” to On The Radar

Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa bring The Jiggalate to New York on On The Radar. Gabe P and Lady Jay share how they discovered the movement, their thoughts on the Jiggalate movement, and advice for rising artists.

From Naptown to New York

When regional culture reaches a national stage, it creates moments bigger than music. That is exactly what happened when Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa brought the “Jiggalate” movement from Indiana to New York City for a standout appearance on On The Radar.

The moment represented more than a performance. It was a celebration of Indiana energy, Naptown pride, and the power of music to connect cities and cultures.

How On The Radar Learned About Jiggalate

According to Gabe P., the movement came to his attention through Lady Jay, a key member of the On The Radar team with deep Indiana roots.

He explained that Lady Jay’s family is from the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne region, and she also attended Indiana University. After hearing about the song and dance a few months ago, Gabe P immediately saw the value in showcasing something meaningful to a member of the team and authentic to Indiana culture.

That decision turned into a national spotlight moment for Tezzerd Eagle & Swoe Whoa and the Jiggalate wave.

Naptown Talent Made a Strong Statement

When asked about seeing the Indiana artists in person, Gabe P spoke highly of the experience.

He shared that On The Radar values welcoming people from all walks of life because every appearance brings a new piece of culture into the room. He said the energy brought by Tezzerd Eagle, Swoe Whoa, Lil Billy, Kaz, Yo Mari and Norrie was needed, appreciated, and something he hoped made Naptown proud.

Lady Jay echoed those sentiments and said it was an incredible experience highlighting talent from Naptown and Indiana as a whole. She emphasized the importance of building community and connecting artists. She also noted how meaningful it was to see artists supporting each other throughout the event.

Lady Jay also remembered Norrie appearing previously during an On The Radar DJ set with DJ Draftpick, making his return even more exciting.

Could Tezzerd Eagle Return for a Remix?

When asked if Tezzerd Eagle could come back for a remix to Jiggalate, Gabe P kept the door wide open.

He explained that when any artist has a real movement that continues to grow, and when both the artist and On The Radar can amplify the moment together, it makes perfect sense.

That answer sends a clear message: keep building momentum.

Gabe P’s Advice for Artists Trying to Get On The Radar

Gabe P also offered honest advice for rising artists hoping to land on the platform.

First, he warned artists not to give money to scammers pretending to offer placements. He made it clear that On The Radar does not charge artists to appear.

Second, he encouraged artists to sharpen their craft and create music and content that stands out from the crowd instead of blending into it.

Finally, he explained that many artists are discovered organically through the team’s own feeds and research. There is no single formula, but consistent work gets noticed.

Special Thanks to Lady Jay

A special thank you goes to Lady Jay for helping bridge Indiana culture with a national audience. Her vision and connection helped create a moment that fans will remember.

Final Thoughts

Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa did more than perform a record. They helped bring a regional dance, a city’s energy, and a culture to one of hip-hop’s most visible platforms.

This is how movements grow—one opportunity, one stage, and one unforgettable performance at a time.

ET Boys - "Queremos Rock (go thru the motions)"

ET Boys release “queremos rock (go thru the motions),” a one-song single issued April 17, 2026 via Wake Up Music LLC.   Born in Chicago and hailing from SoFlo Miami-Broward, ET Boys are Tacboy, Sharkeyes, and Monsie, working in a Nu Pop melodic rap lane built from Tacboy’s lead vocals and lyrics, Sharkeyes’ writing and production, and Monsie’s guitar work. Signed to Wake Up! Music in 2021, the group followed an early run of singles with the 11-song album Forever Night in 2022, then expanded the catalog with additional 2023 singles and the five-song EP Paopu, created with Ken Lewis. They racked up more than 3 million Spotify streams for Forever Night, more than 1 million Spotify streams for “Sober,” and multiple #1 Digital Radio Tracker Independent Chart placements including “This Is Us,” “Bong Bong,” and “Until Forever.”

Nayan Raina Turns a Late-Night Feeling Into a No. 1 Hit on Apple Music With “Phone”

 

There’s something quietly universal about staring at a phone screen, waiting for a message that never comes. For artist Nayan that feeling became the foundation for “Phone,” a hypnotic hip-hop duet with Yesha Sagar that has now reached No. 1 on Apple Music Video Chart.

“Phone” doesn’t chase the moment — it lingers in it. Built on a moody, minimalist beat, the track unfolds like a late-night conversation you weren’t supposed to hear. Nayan’s delivery is restrained but deliberate, threading vulnerability through rhythm, while Yesha Sagar brings a counterbalance that feels both intimate and unresolved.

The chemistry between the two artists is what gives “Phone” its pulse. It’s less about spectacle and more about tension — the push and pull of connection in an era where everything is instant, except clarity.

For Nayan, the song’s success didn’t come from trying to engineer a hit. It came from capturing a feeling people recognize but rarely articulate. “It’s about those moments where silence says more than words,” he explains. That emotional honesty has turned “Phone” into more than a track — it’s become a shared experience.

The rise of the song speaks to a broader shift in hip-hop, where introspection and melody are no longer outliers but central to the genre’s evolution. Artists are leaning into atmosphere, into emotion, into the spaces between bars — and listeners are responding.

With “Phone,” Nayan steps into that space with confidence. The No. 1 spot is a milestone, but it also feels like an introduction — the moment where an artist moves from emerging to undeniable.

And like the song itself, the story doesn’t end here. It just leaves you waiting for what comes next.

ET Boys - "that's all i wanted (microdose zyzz)"

Miami-Broward melodic rap duo ET Boys release “that’s all i wanted (microdose zyzz),” produced by Sharkeyes. Built around Tacboy and Sharkeyes alongside guitarist Monsie, the group was born in Chicago and raised in South Florida, with Tacboy handling lead vocals and lyrics over music written and performed by Sharkeyes and Monsie in a Nu Pop melodic rap lane shaped by piano, guitar and drum training that started in childhood. Signed to Wake Up! Music in 2021 after building a catalog of more than 30 songs, ET Boys went on to release seven singles, the 11-song album Forever Night in 2022, four singles in 2023, and the five-song EP Paopu, produced with Ken Lewis. Their catalog has since passed 3 million Spotify streams on Forever Night, produced three #1 entries on the Digital Radio Tracker Top 150 Independent Chart with “This Is Us,” “Bong Bong” and “Until Forever,” and, around this release, picked up both a feature in 1883 Magazine and a #4 placement on El Martello’s “10 Out of 10” Top Songs list for March 2026. Speaking on the track, the group said, “quite a silly tune it was fun to play live.”

BIG GRIP - “FCK THE MARKET”

Big Grip releases “Fck The Market,” the latest official video from his new project Get Rich Or Keep Tryin. A solo rapper from Eastside Atlanta raised in Covington, Georgia, Big Grip has been moving steadily through the Pack Power run with a string of official drops that show the pace of his output rather than a stop-start rollout. Before “Fck The Market,” he released “Black Truck” featuring CEO Trayle and “Slanger,” both produced by CashOut Beatz, then followed with “PNoid” featuring Bally Baby and “Math Class,” again working with CashOut Beatz while pushing visuals shot by 1Way Films and Gawds Vision. Along the way, Grip has continued building within a lane tied to street records, visuals, and consistent releases, with notable connections including Big Moochie Grape, Johnny Cinco, and No Plug.

SANTA SALLET - “MONEY & DASH”

DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet releases “Money and Dash,” produced by BeatsbyNar, through MSP Records. The track appears on Plutomania, his 2025 mixtape available on SoundCloud which Santa describes as “an exercise in lyricism and flow.” Born in Roseau, Dominica and associated with the DMV, Santa Sallet has built his catalog around East Coast braggadocious rap, money-minded writing, and an international background that runs through Dominica, South Africa, and the United States. His recent work includes Plutography, and a run of singles and videos including “I Get Money,” “Championship Ring,” “Chinese Funk,” “Camouflage,” “She Don’t Love You,” and “Pay Up.” Plutomania features guests Nemizzo and DJ IBAAN, continuing Santa’s MSP Records world with a focus on bars, hustle, production, and direct rap performance. Santa is also gearing up for the release of Plutography II, the followup album to 2024’s Plutography, set to drop Summer 2026. “Plutomania is a mixtape and an exercise in lyricism and flow,” Santa says. “Money and Dash” is out now via MSP Records.
