Montell Fish shares debut album JAMIE via Lord’s Child / Virgin Music
Montell Fish, the 24-year-old New York-based singer-songwriter who’s been captivating listeners with his ethereal voice and impassioned lovelorn lyricism, has released his debut album, JAMIE. Spanning 10-tracks, JAMIE is an intimate retelling of the paramount experiences in Montell’s life and a welcomed expansion of his crooning and velvety DIY sound. The haunting track “Last Dance” finds Montell bringing the depths of his anxieties to the surface and waxing poetic about a longing for meaningful connections with his partner over drifting strings. JAMIE highlights Montell’s self-made instrumentation and songwriting at itsbest––producing piercing and sincere cuts like “Darling”. JAMIE is an intricate collection of Montell Fish’s deepest recollections and reflections––in the words of Montell:
“This album is about the beginning stages of grief because I went through this album, and even still think about when I’m gonna die––is it gonna be when I’m young, today, tomorrow? So there is this anxious feeling in a lot of the music and a terror of the end and it’s symbolized in a breakup, it’s symbolized in me and this girl and things coming to an end but I just realized as I was writing it that this is so much more. This is my childhood and I always had a fear of death and a religious trauma of me going to hell––it’s the beginning of the stages of that. It’s denial in isolation.”
As noted by Ones To Watch, “Spanning multiple disciplines and blending new age gospel and soul with lush electronic-infused soundscapes, the rising artist [Montell Fish] speaks to a new generation of creatives who truly feel limitless in scope.” His smash-hit, “Fall In Love With You.” (150M+ Streams) highlights his off-the-cuff and heartfelt songwriting over the waning instrumentation. After a string of highly successful singles, including “Talk 2 Me” (70M+ Streams) and “Destroy Myself For You” (50M+ Streams), Montell Fish is giving us the full-scale of his contemplative perspective, methodically crafted production, and holistic tie with his faith on his debut album JAMIE.
Some records talk tough. Others are tough. “God Tier” falls into the latter. Godbliss linked up with Papoose for a bar-heavy banger that checks every real rap box: punchlines, flow, grit, message, and presence. This track doesn’t just knock — it slaps you awake.
Godbliss proves yet again why he’s a respected force in the underground — unfiltered, intelligent, and vicious on the mic. “I cut you up to link sausages,” he spits with zero hesitation, layering graphic metaphor with East Coast bite. Papoose, ever the technician, fires back with Bronx-worthy venom and deadly delivery, flipping street tales into punchline poetry.
The production? Dirty and deliberate, it gives both emcees the space to wild out without losing the structure. What really sets “God Tier” apart is how clean and cohesive it sounds while still feeling raw. This ain’t for the TikTok crowd. This is gym music. Cipher music. Real rap fans, do yourself a favor and press play now — and then again. You’ll find something new in each listen.

“Candy” is a seductive, & sexy ride where Omega the Poet and Foolie $urfin compare a woman’s allure to the sweetness of candy and the sleek luxury of a Mercedes.
The track blends dreamy melodies with lust-driven lyricism, capturing the high of infatuation and the temptation that comes with beauty and desire. It’s a sonic fantasy — smooth, hypnotic, and dripping with double meanings.
Check out “Candy” below.
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.
