Jonny Quest The Rebel Drops ‘Blue Diamonds’
With 2021 quickly coming to an end, Quest has decided to run into the new year on FIRE, ensuring that anyone who witnesses takes notice and recognizes that New Jersey is fully entrenched in the hip-hop scene. After dropping his last EP Money Dreamz in May (earning a BET Jams placement and features in publications such as Flaunt Magazine and All Hip Hop), he got back in the studio quickly. His follow-up is “Blue Diamonds”, a verbal checklist to determine if you got the “glow”, even before others recognize it in you.
Blue Diamonds is a reflective look in the mirror, a reminder to all listening that pressure and experience are what build us into diamonds. With rising star producer Fatir offering cinematic-style production, Quest brings listeners into his movie. They are taking a walk in the shoes of a star, right before his rise to fame. While Blue Diamonds is a story, it’s also a warning shot, a unification of North Jersey and South Jersey that has been in the making for some time. With Cruch Calhoun, a solidified star and frequent Dave East collaborator, offering OG perspective in a chilling verse, the record takes on a different feel.
Through his last few releases, Quest has begun building his reputation as one of the emerging forces in New Jersey. With Blue Diamonds, he only continues to shine bright as a burgeoning star.

Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel release the new single and video “Where Would You Go?”. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.
Argentine singer Jazmín Sparta and producer Tito Lopez present leaked notes <3, an eight-track R&B album entirely in English. Inspired by private confessions people keep in their notes app, the project explores themes of love, pride, and playful detachment. Jazmín, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Quilmes and a former The Voice Argentina contestant, has explored pop, gospel, soul, and R&B in her past work, with her debut EP ROMPEPAGA and album CONVALESCERE tackling themes of resilience and healing. Tito, a 29-year-old composer, producer, and guitarist from Viedma, has worked with AfroSound Choir and various Argentine artists while composing for audiovisual projects like Discovery Channel. Blending gospel-inspired harmonic progressions with organic instrumentation, leaked notes <3 lets raw emotion take center stage. Released via Villa Verde, the album expands their reach, showcasing Argentine talent on an international R&B platform.
