Nef The Pharoah’s “Bussin” is made for club bopping and dancing

Published

on

You’d be forgiven if you’ve never heard of Nef The Pharaoah. Besides being one of Thizzler’s 2014 Freshman class, frequently collaborating with E-40, and having one of his songs remixed by YG and Ty Dolla $ign, his name hasn’t yet translated to mainstream success. What the hold up is, no one’s quite sure. But he’s been working hard to establish his name and brand, and, little by little, it’s growing.

That should change with the release of “Bussin,” a relatively simple, bouncy single that revels in its jovial nature to bring a good time. Perhaps the fact that it’s straight-forward when most songs have a number of hidden meanings makes it one of our favorites that we’ve heard recently. The production by SuperProducerMA practically pulls you onto the dance floor at your local nightclub. The verses from Nef are clean and tight enough to listen to, but they don’t require laser focus to their meanings. It’s literally tailor-made for the club in every way fit. And for that, we love it.

Check out “Bussin” below.

Continuing to embody his youthful aura, Michal ultimately has his sights set on searching for “the one” with “KNOW ME BETTER,” as JayD’s  mesmerizing hook expertly plays into the sample-clad cut.  “After all these years that we’ve been together, I thought you would know me better,” it hypnotically drones, Stringing together strong performances all year, following the success of his previous track “DON’T BLAME THE KIDS” and Summer’s End, which is now his top track on Spotify and Apple Music, it’s better to know of Michal Michal before he takes off.

Emerging Alt Hip-Hop Star Kembe X Shares New Song “Rolling Stoned”

Published

on

Isaiah Rashad joins Windy City wordsmith Kembe X for his Hippie Sabotage produced cut “Rolling Stoned.” A thought-provoking masterpiece that cleverly disguises its depth with wordplay and ethereal Alternative Hip-Hop instrumentation, “Rolling Stoned” invites listeners to embark on a journey of hidden meanings and insights. Serving as yet another teaser to the Top Dawg Entertainment affiliate’s forthcoming ‘Sleep Paralysis’ project, it may initially appear as brash rap but the record unfurls into a profound exploration of personal growth, dreams, and self-discovery.

“When we made this song in September 2021 it felt like a reunion and an opportunity to show Hippie Sabotage, I’m not the same person who moved from Chicago to LA and crashed on their couch. It was a chance to demonstrate my newfound confidence in my creative abilities and a willingness to adopt a fresh approach to music. It’s not a reinvention of my artistry, but a shedding of old skin and a dreamy exploration of a new version of myself, deeply connected to my psychedelic discoveries,” shares the Chicago native in a press statement when asked about his “Pole Vaulting” follow-up.

Known for his work with artists such as REASON, Guapdad4000, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul, Kembe X stands as a beacon of innovation in a musical landscape often mired in conformity. His music, with over 10M+ UGC views on TikTok and 5M+ views on YouTube, has ignited a cultural wave, resonating across platforms. Accumulating a staggering 30M+ Spotify streams, Kembe X’s tracks encapsulate the essence of his artistry.

Beyond mere numbers, Kembe X’s compositions, from the introspective depths of “Voices” and “Cozy Forever” to the bluesy contemplation of “Body Language” and “Anyway,” paint a poignant picture of battling depression, touching hearts and minds. His magnetic stage presence has left an indelible mark, from headlining the Hippie Sabotage Tour in 2016 to sharing the stage in the ScHoolboy Q CrasHtalk Tour in 2019, not to mention legendary performances at Rolling Loud Miami from 2014 to 2017 and Rolling Loud Los Angeles 2017, solidifying his status as a festival favorite.

Stream Kembe X’s “Rolling Stoned” on your DSP of choice via BMR / The Orchard and watch his live performance recap of “Pole Vaulting” at Red Rocks.
