Artist To Watch
Jamaican artist Sagod is bringing the heat with new music “Undecided”
Hailing from Bay Road, Westmoreland Jamaica – the currently Maine-based crooner Sagod gets vulnerable on his latest cut, “Undecided”.
Released as a Valentine’s Day dedication, the single emanates themes of romance, assurance, and honesty.
In the visual, a sumptuous Sagod is captured looking mint in a chartreuse-lime green jacket with classic aviator-esque shades you would most probably spot on Gaza rapper and leader, Vybz Kartel.
Meanwhile the apple of his eye is a cinnamon-colored lady embellished in a tight dark dress that seems to infatuate Sagod throughout the music visual saunters around him teasing him. Sagod’s muse embraces her feminine side fully as Sagod tries to entice her to believe in his intentions.
Shot in a studio setup, Sagod goes over his poetic lyrics as he performs some scenes on the directors’ chair, while in others he is seen in different parts of the room trying to have his way. The studio looking intimate with warm colors in some scenes such as beige walls, salmon pillow cases, beneath moody warm lighting is the perfect backdrop for the message. The set designer bringing out an ambient and imaginative palette that works well for the song does their thing equally.
Sagod is ambitious throughout the record as he attempts to convince a love interest that he is what she is missing.
“Baby lately, yeah you got me going crazy, and you got me thinking about what you gave me” he croons on the chorus.
“I got inspired from some females but also myself because I wanted to write a great song,” says Sagod who appreciates artists in the lines of “Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Vybz Kartel, Movado, Wiz kid, and also Tupac.”
With sprinkles of a rumbling bassline, nimble keys in the melody, and his mid-pitched voice, the stage is set for Sagod to impress.
“I feel like this project is more on a relationship standpoint or couple,” he said. I wrote in first person the stages you are in with a relationship. That is why I decided to release the project on Valentine’s Day” he shared.

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.
