Joey Fatts announces QUICCSAND mixtape + new video “Bright Lights” (feat. Allyn)
Joey Fatts has just shared his new single “Bright Lights”featuring Allyn and announced his new mixtape Quiccsand, slated for a March 18th release. The smooth record shows the blend of East Coast flows and West Coast production that makes Joey such a unique force in the L.A. music scene. His succinct flow coupled with his earnest lyrics all amount to a record that’s introspective and memorable. Joey’s music is a blueprint for success, and on “Bright Lights”, he drops serious gems about striving towards your goals and staying on your path. The visuals that accompany the single show, Joey at his most comfortable––surrounded by his peers, being intimately involved in his community, and riding horseback on a tame stallion. Joey Fatt’s music is equally inspirational as it is catchy, and on this song, he perfectly balances that dynamic with poise. “Bright Lights” serves as the perfect sampler for Joey’s upcoming mixtape Quiccsand ,a project that explores the depths of Joey’s artistry and exhibits his raw talent across all 10 tracks. The mixtape, out3/18, is a collection of tight flows, exceptional features from Blxst & Allyn, and heartfelt lyrics––a perfect addition to Joey’s standout discography.
Joey Fatts has spent the past few years building up his stature not only in music but his clothing venture Cutthroat and his homegrown activism as well. Joey has been feeding his long-standing fanbase consistently the past few years, with the release of his 2019 project Chipper Jones Vol. 4 and his string of releases in 2020, including Still Cutthroat, Olive Boy, & G Way. Although Joey has stayed primarily active on the mic, his movements outside of music have played a massive role in his life as well. In 2020, after years of successfully operating his brand Cutthroat, he opened up a storefront on E 1st St in Long Beach, an achievement that Joey is supremely proud of. Even though it is a store, it doubles as a community hub for teens in the area to come and congregate, something that Joey designed intentionally. He’s also working to develop a set of group homes that will give kids the tools to succeed, including lessons about financial literacy and using music as a form of therapy. On top of all this, Joey also sponsors a youth football team, appropriately named the Cutthroat Ducks, and even designed the team custom designer jerseys. At 30 years old, Joey Fatts is not only an unmovable force in hip-hop, but also in fashion and his community as well.

Lu’ (@ottawasveryown) is back with another one! He has been shaking things up in the music scene since his ground-breaking debut “FEVA,” released earlier in February this year. Now, he returns with another highly-anticipated single, “Over,” out now. This offering is accompanied with a music video & solidifies Lu’s mark in the music game with his captivating storytelling and infectious sound.
“Over” is another compelling feel good single that highlights Lu’s artistic identity and capability. “Over evokes pure enjoyment and immaculate summer vibes,” he says. He invites listeners into an irresistible musical experience through the Afrobeats sound. Drawing inspiration from English and French-speaking artists, as well as Congolese artists, he sets himself apart from the industry as a multilingual artist. The accompanying music video was shot in Lagos, Nigeria and offers a setting of African greatness, luxury, and an overall great time.
Originally hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and now making waves in Phoenix, Arizona, Lu’ is a renowned Arizona Cardinals linebacker who made his musical debut earlier this year with his debut single, “FEVA.” Fighting the notion of “shut up and dribble,” Lu’ has shown that he’s far more multifaceted than just an average athlete. He shares, “The narrative of ‘shut up and dribble’ is one I’ve fought internally for a very long time. I want my audience to grasp how passionate I am about chasing my wildest dreams. You can’t let another person tell you, your dreams are too far unattainable.” Lu’ has been able to perfectly parallel his passion and dedication of being a talented athlete as well as a talented artist.
It’s worth noting that Lu’ is a definite powerhouse to keep an eye on as he continues to break barriers in both sports and music. His transition from sports to music is a prominent testament to him embracing his versatility, following his dreams, and reaching new heights. The unfolding musical journey of this rising Canadian artist is a must see.

Asian-American rappers Star2, ChinaTownRunner, and $tupid Young release the new single / video entitled “FWM”. The single precedes Star2 and ChinaTownRunner’s upcoming EP and sets the bar high with haunting cavernous beats and dark melodic flow.

Leaning into the sheer magnitude of the track itself, the visuals for “FWM” zero in on each rapper for an intense performance.
Star2 and ChinaTownRunner are preparing to embark on a summer tour with $tupid Young set to appear at multiple dates. Additionally, Star2 and ChinaTownRunner will perform on July 6th in support of the annual Ka-ren Soccer Tournament and Concert in South Dakota.
