Right now, we see a ton of great music come out of New York. Pop Smoke and CJ have inspired many artists; however, a new artist is emerging with his own sound. Coming straight out of Far Rockaway, Queens is a super talented young artist named Vie Richie. His new single, “Max Speed,” is an infectious record with a catchy hook that makes the listener come back for repeat streaming. 

Vie Richie finds inspiration in his real-life experiences, saying, “My art is a reflection of the situations I’ve been through and have seen first hand.” And “Max Speed” is no different; playing off of late nights speeding through the city, this record embodies that late-night sort of vibe. Produced by Armo Tunez (“Cold” by French Montana & Tory Lanez), this hard-hitting instrumental perfectly compliments Vie Richie’s melodic undertones. 

Vie Richie is currently working on his debut full-length project and some interesting collaborations in the works. Peep it below!

Following collaborations with 24hrs, Kap G, and Eric Bellinger, Texas vocalist E Bleu (@ImEBleu) ends his year long hiatus by way of the DeVan “D1” Hooker produced track “3AM.”  An authentic glimpse into E’s consciousness and the in-the-moment energy that keeps him moving, the record showcases the Houston native’s natural storytelling ability and serves as the first single off his yet to be titled upcoming EP.

When asked about the inspiration behind the song, E Bleu states :
“I’ve always been a night owl. The energy at night is just different to me. I remember being in an Uber on the way home just mentally re capping the night and feeling like it’s somehow a pattern I fall into every night. I got home and recorded it in like 15 min on my kitchen counter at 3AM.”

E Bleu first hopped on the scene as a teen in a duo with Kevin Abstract, lead singer/songwriter of Brockhampton. In 2018, he released his breakout solo effort “Me Time,” which caught the attention of Motown Records‘ Shawn Barron who took an interest in him and began to help develop his sound. The K3yboarrdKid-crafted cut later spawned a high profile remix with Eric Bellinger & 24hrs, captipulting his career into overdrive.

Young Dolph & Key Glock are rap’s most in-demand twosome. Tomorrow, the Paper Route EMPIRE rappers officially announce Dum and Dummer 2, their second full-length collaborative album and the follow-up to 2019’s Dum and Dummer, which peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200. Dum and Dummer 2 finds Dolph & Glock operating at an even higher level of craftsmanship, charisma, and luxury. The two rappers–and blood cousins–often seem like two halves of the same brain, each seamlessly picking up threads and finishing lines that the other leaves off.
