@chubbyrain_ is an Egyptian bred, DMV raised artist making some noise out of Los Angeles, California

Published

on

SHERIF is making noise out of Los Angeles, California. An Egyptian bred, DMV raised artist, SHERIF moved out to Los Angeles and hasn’t looked back since. SHERIF has built up quite a catalog over a few years now, with records like Another Life, Delilah, and Leave Me Hanging. A versatile artist for sure, SHERIF’s music will be sure to leave you feeling some sort of way. With some genre-bending tunes and a versatile sound, SHERIF is an artist to lookout for in the new year.

In the meantime, check out our interview with SHERIF below.

Do you tend to make music for yourself or with the listener in mind?
I think in order to be a successful musician you have to reach that perfect dichotomy of commercial appeal and artistic vision, the place where business meets art. I always want to make hits, but at the same time I only ever make music I truly love. Music is therapy so it’s definitely for myself, but If it moves me chances are it moves others. I”m making the exact kind of music I want to make right now and I’m really happy about that. 
Any plans for a project? When do you plan on dropping it?
What It’s Like To Be Human will be released at the beginning of the new year. It will be followed by two sequels to complete a trilogy saga by the end of the year. 
How old were you or what exact moment stands out to you that made you start taking your musical career a bit more serious?
I was back and forth early on with taking it seriously or just doing it for fun. I think when I first heard myself professionally mixed in a studio setting is the moment I declared I had to do it for life. I just knew that it’s what I was born to do. 

For new listeners, what are 3 must listen records from SHERIF?
Illusion Heaven Another Life
What do you want the listeners or fans to take away from your music?
They came away feeling better than they did before. They got some therapy. They got some closure on their relationship. They got inspired to create things themselves and to write their ideas down on paper and make them happen. 

Any shows or events planned in the near future?
I’m currently holding a residency at Sofitel Hotel Beverly Hills as a creative director throwing special themed events every month. The next show will take place on 11/20. I will also be doing my first show in the DMV in 3 years on 12/23. Beyond excited for the homecoming.

Black Skywalker Drops Anticipated ‘I Need Therapy’ EP

Published

on

Black Skywalker, the rising artist with an undeniable buzz, drops his debut EP, I Need Therapy.

The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”

Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.

The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.

Black Skywalker’s ‘Pain of Letting Go’ has huge production and raw guitar. The lyrics express deep emotion and heartbreak, making the EP’s inspiration very clear.

“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.

“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.

EP delivers a relatable conversation, amazing production, and intentional songwriting. Black Skywalker calls it outer space Jedi-level rap music.

Check out the full EP below.
