1K$u DROPS NEW EP & SINGLE, ‘STREET LOVE’

Published

on

Philadephia is becoming a hub for some of Hip-Hop’s most promising acts. 1K$U, aka Sultan, is an artist built to last in the industry. Moreover, his latest project Street Love, is a melodic reminder that 1K$U stands in many lanes. His versatility spans far past his music, which is why he is the ultimate hustler. He has never had an issue finding a way to get some cash. This new EP is dope because it is more potent than his previous works. Moreover, he has never been a slouch, but this music is just next level. He only recently started making music once he left college. His first single “Grams and Scams’ ‘ helped him pop from the start. The track was buzzing so hard in the city that he received a major co-sign from Gillie & Wallo of the A Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. 

1K$U has been destined for stardom from the beginning. His smooth tone goes perfectly with the auto-tune in his voice. The passion in 1K’s music is unmatched. As you can tell, he has been through it all. The title of the EP is perfect because it explains exactly what you will get from the project. You get his ideas about the streets and then your mindset about love. Tracks like “Real Or Fake” and “My Dawg” are like gospel to people from the same side of Philly as 1K. His music connects well with his neighborhood but can be felt in the trenches across the country. Storytelling is vital to 1K$U, and this project is just further proof of that fact. His visuals are on point, and his Instagram is highly active. Street Love dropping at the top of 2022 is no coincidence. He has a goal to start the year with a vengeance, and there will be no other way to get him off track once he gets rolling in 2022. He’s on track to make some noise like his musical inspirations Lil Durk & Rod Wave.

Check out the new EP, Street Love here, and his latest video also titled Street Love from the melodic MC below!

The label continues to build on the legacy with the introduction of its newest signee BBA Trigga. And with the formal introduction, the Atlanta-bred recording artist drops his biggest single yet in the anthem “LIMPIN.” Stream it here via Human Re-sources/The Orchard and watch the accompanying visual below.

Produced Kavi “KXVI” Lybarger and Space Cadet Sean, “LIMPIN” delivers honest and brash lyrics that offer a glimpse of the flash and politics of street life. In the Diamond District-directed visual, BBA Trigga dishes out a cinematic depiction from the dark grit of the security lens along with a pragmatic and stern warning to haters and hussies alike.

BBA Trigga has lived troubled life on the streets that has given him the content he uses in his raps today to become one of the new generation’s most promising stars. Trigga caught fame in 2022 with his breakout single “Poppa Perc,” which later led to a string of hits in this year’s previous hit, “Bankroll.” Big Block discovered BBA Trigga while on the rise as the two originate from surrounding areas, and the mogul saw the limitless potential in the protege. Big Block has always had an eye for spotting future legends, turning them into superstars, and, most of all, undying love for Atlanta. Based on the track record, it’s safe to say that BBA Trigga is guaranteed to be Big Block’s next success story.

“LIMPIN” arrives on the heels of the rising star embarking on a 20-city radio tour with the intention of achieving charting success. The new single is the perfect origin point for newfound fans and a memorable moment for day-one fans. After the single, you may continue to follow the emerging artist’s journey on social media.

TOOSII’S DEBUT ALBUM, ‘NAUJOUR’, IS OUT TODAY

Published

on

By

Today, Toosii released NAUJOUR, his debut album, via South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records. The 19-track album includes the Platinum-certified “Favorite Song,” which is No. 1 at Rhythm radio and is currently top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, subsequent versions of “Favorite Song” with Khalid and Future. Download / stream NAUJOUR HERE. Hailed by Complex as one of “music’s brightest stars,” Toosii will support the album with an extensive summer headline tour. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com. See below for itinerary.

Born NauJour Lazier Grainger in Syracuse, NY, Toosii began focusing on music after he moved to Raleigh, NC, as a teen. He says, “I had always told myself that when I dropped my debut album, it would be a self-titled album. I feel like there is a difference between NauJour and Toosii and with this album, I am actually giving people the real in my life.”

On NAUJOUR, the 23-year-old artist oscillates between disarming tenderness (“Favorite Song”) and jagged cool. He trades bars with 21 Savage on “Pull Up” for an effortless blend of menace and machismo. On “Rich Ridin,” he coasts over insistent percussion as he lets loose emphatic flexes and implicit warnings for his enemies. The slow burning “FWLM” blends raw lyrics with elegant instrumentation as Toosii swings from brash and confident (“Backseat, Double R, let me set the bar”) to vulnerable (“Brought her to the studio / Just for her to break my heart and play me like a Yu-Gi-Oh!”). Toosii shot the immersive, atmospheric official video for “FWLM” in downtown Los Angeles with frequent collaborators Joan Pabon and Logan Fields (Rod Wave, Syd). Tune in tomorrow afternoon for the video premiere HERE.

Named by Billboard as an early contender for “Song of the Summer 2023,” “Favorite Song” has amassed over 260 million combined global streams while the audio has been featured in over five million global TikTok creations, earning more than three billion combined views. XXL Magazine put “Favorite Song” (feat. Future) [Toxic Version] on its list of the best new hip-hop songs and Brooklyn Vegan observed, “It’s a syrupy slow jam that Future is perfect for.” Praising the remix with KhalidHYPEBEAST said, “An R&B song reflecting on the woes of heartbreak, the resulting collaboration is a series of layered, drawn-out vocals, subtly punctuated with the tapping of drums.”

Toosii recently performed “Favorite Song” during the two-hour live season finale of Season 23 of NBC’s four-time Emmy Award-winning competition series “The Voice” and on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

After releasing a stream of projects between 2017 and 2019, Toosii solidified his emerging star with his South Coast Music Group debut, Platinum Heart, which included fan favorites “Love Cycle” and “Red Lights.” Poetic Pain followed, which injected Toosii into the national consciousness and earned him a spot in the 2021 XXL Freshman class. From there, he kept up his momentum with efforts like Thank You for Believing and Pretty Girls Love Toosii, which combined his sensual vocals with understated soundscapes. Released after the birth of his son, 2022’s Boys Don’t Cry saw Toosii reach even deeper into his emotions. “It’s alright as a man to tap into that emotional side,” he said at the time.

NAUJOUR is further proof of Toosii’s willingness – and his power – to succumb to the emotional compulsions the world says Black men shouldn’t acknowledge. With this comfort, he writes more earnestly while singing more passionately, signifying his total artistic control. “I want NAUJOUR to be a classic, timeless project,” Toosii says. “I want people to understand who I truly am and recognize that I am an artist that’s going to be around forever and not for the moment.”
