Compton’s Azjah and BK’s DUSTY LOCANE Connect on New Remix
Blessed with an innate sense of melody, Compton artist Azjah crosses boundaries with her sharp storytelling. Connecting with a fellow riser from the opposite coast, Azjah recruits DUSTY LOCANE for “Try It” (Remix). Dominated by a mellow minor-key guitar loop, “Try It” bursts with an aggression that belies its instrumental, as Azjah warns potential enemies that they don’t want “no drama.” Coming through with his basso rasp, DUSTY gets on the same wavelength, showing off his appealing singing voice as he promises to “set a n**** up with a booby trap.” “Try It” (Remix) is an updated version of “Try It,” a highlight from Azjah’s 1:03 AM project, released in June.
Spanning 10 tracks, 1:03 AM is a showcase for Azjah’s easy melodies, emotive expression, and diaristic songwriting. Her songs are tough and vulnerable in equal measure, often commenting on her latest relationship or her upbringing in Compton. Tee project is home to the Bizness Boi-produced “Soul Ties.“ which came with a video that Azjah directed herself, “Nobody,” which features a commanding guest spot from Yung Bleu, “Purple Reign,” a guitar-driven banger, and the smooth, summer heater “I Got You,” which places her firmly in the lineage of fellow L.A. melodic masters like Blxst and Ty Dolla $ign. Featuring an additional appearance from the rising singer Mayhrenate, 1:03 AM is available to stream everywhere via EMPIRE.
Born and raised in Compton, Azjah has developed into one of the leading voices of L.A.’s bustling rap scene. She grew up in a musical family and developed eclectic tastes (she loves everyone from Maxwell to Lil Durk to James Blunt), but didn’t start pursuing music seriously until her older brother went to jail. Since then, she’s been dedicated to her craft–and her city’s tastemakers have been taking notice. She made the most noise with her 2018 single “Time For It,” which generated over 1 million streams on Spotify and recruited heavy hitters Shordie Shordie and Kalan.FrFr for the remix. She later connected with Ty Dolla $ign for “That’s Facts,” which has over 2 million streams on Spotify alone. In the past year, she’s been keeping up momentum by releasing singles like “True Story“ and hopping on “Ain’t For Me,” a song by Long Beach standout $tupid Young.
With her new project, Azjah establishes her songwriting strength and demonstrates why she’s often called the “Princess Of Compton.” It might be 1:03 AM, but you better not sleep.
Navigating through the bustling, raw lanes of Omaha’s rap scene, Loso Tha Artist has unleashed his latest EP, Vibes Only,” a title that perfectly encapsulates the hustlers dream in rare music form. From the visceral, throaty melodies to the pounding 808 drums that mimic the heartbeat of a frantic metropolis, Loso does more than just sound the depths of human emotion; he charts it. The 5 song effort which includes production from his frequent collaborators Kontrabandz, Will Alexander, Buckroll & Sahmir, Loso proves his sound goes beyond the norm without a doubt. Songs to check for include “Act Right Pt.II”, “Keep Going” & “Vent” where Loso dives deep into conversation about life; it’s up’s, downs and resilience. The EP’s sound evolution is particularly evident in the way it captures the essence of being unmoored yet unbreakable. Each track serves as a chapter in a larger narrative, portraying the continuous search for self amidst the chaos of life’s transitions.
The production choices made by Loso—ranging from the gritty, Travis Scott like mixes to the finely balanced mastering—ensure that the music remains unfiltered and impactful, conveying a sense of immediacy and sincerity. Stream Vibes Only now and follow @Loso_Tha_Artist_ on social media.

Listen below.
Following collaborations with the late Fatman Scoop, P-Lo, and LaRussell on top of a strong co-sign from Bootleg Kev among other key industries figures, Bay Area native Miles Minnick (TW/IG) connects with San Diego’s Jon Keith (TW/IG) for a West Coast rap anthem titled “HIM.” Produced by Jon, who signed with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkin’s Alienz Alive label over the Summer and left a lasting impression after scorching his On The Radar freestyle, the collaboration serves as the first look into what fans can expect from their forthcoming WEST INDIES project.
“For us, we want to make something of substance that has the sound of the culture that birthed us. West Coast culture. The song represents the boldness we get from knowing that Big G will slide on our behalf regardless of the situation,” said Minnick when asked about the pair’s new release.
“We wanted to make a song that brought believers together but also unified the whole West Coast. We love our state and really want to see God move through California,” echoes Keith in a press statement about the single.
