Asia Graves Fires Off Her New EP, ‘If You Knew Better’

Published

on

Asia Graves is the quintessential girl next door. The Atlanta-based songstress is nowhere near her prime, but she is genuinely making veteran moves in this industry. Her newest United Masters distributed EP, If You Knew Better, is the perfect precursor for her debut album. Clocking in at 14 minutes with six tracks, If You Knew Better is a soulful project perfect for the forthcoming fall weather. With cuffing season around the corner, relationships will form, and some will fall out. As a young 20-something-year-old woman finding her way through life, Asia’s music is refreshingly relatable. After time in college and now years in the industry, she has seen it all regarding men. 

If You Knew Better is as well put together and succinct as you can get for an R&B project. The seamless transitions between the soulful tracks make the listening experience just as beautiful as the ATL songstress herself. Furthermore, Grave’s has decided to pair it with a full-length mini-movie if the project was not enough. The Overdose Studios-directed/shot visualizer helps tell the story that all six tracks were attempting to convey. Her latest EP features production from AVBClint FordSangria, and Cee B The Producer mixed it in its entirety. She and her decorated team at The UCMG went crazy from the sequencing to the sound and beats. 

Tracks like “Long Distance,” “Feel A Way,” and “Blame” show Asia is evolving right before our eyes. Moreover, the range of her voice and her soulful tone is steps above her previous work. After winning the first Audiomack STAMPED Contest, Asia has been in the lab. She and her team decided to use the pandemic to truly settle down and lock into the next steps of her career. Asia Graves is a gem and has next-level star potential if she keeps going on the path that she is on now. Moreover, her trajectory is limitless, and If You Knew Better is just the proof. 

Please take a listen to her latest EP on all streaming platforms and check out the full-length visualizer here below!

Ryck Jane Sets The Tone With “No Problems” + “You Gone Learn Today”

Published

on

By

Ryck Jane

The first thing we see in Neesin Williams’s vibrant video for “You Gone Learn Today” is Ryck Jane’s earrings. They’re hard to miss — and they also might’ve been a challenge to wear. The two matching accessories that dangle from the rapper’s lobes appear to be made of solid gold. But the most notable thing about them is what they signify. They’re L.A. logos: twin declarations of allegiance to the city and scene that made her.

Even without the earrings, fans would know exactly where Ryck Jane was from. It’s not just her California drawl, the left coast pattern of her cadences, or the hard Los Angeleno funk that forms the bedrock of her irresistible recordings. It’s also in her dedication to glamour and her scrupulous attention to every detail of presentation. Jane knows exactly how to showcase her fierce individuality. She may be a new artist, but she handles herself like a showbiz veteran. She believes that she was born to inhabit the spotlight — and single after single, she demonstrates that her confidence isn’t misplaced.

“You Gone Learn Today” is her boldest declaration of autonomy yet. On the track, Ryck Jane raps about the inevitability of her rise and underscores her theme with a performance that’s relentless, colorful, and loaded with personality. Call it a message to the nonbelievers — who are getting harder and harder to find. The production backs up her boasts: the track is muscular and hypnotic, decorated with a thick, serpentine bass synthesizer lead, skittering beats, a thumping kick drum, and chanted backing vocals. The deep musicality of the track arrangement is a reminder that long before Ryck Jane found fame as an independent rapper, she’d distinguished herself as a trumpeter.

That horn shows up on “No Problems. The track is a centerpiece of Jane Got A Gun, the rapper’s scalding 2023 album. It’s slinkier and more subtle than the rambunctious “You Gone Learn Today,” but as the video makes clear, it’s another message to the world that Ryck James can’t be stopped. Just like the “You Gone Learn Today” video clip, “No Problems” is a showcase for the artist’s unique, and unerring sense of style.  It’s all here, and it’s all wild, and worn with the self-possession of a queen.
