Page Kennedy Drops New LP “Page”
Hip Hop lyricist, box-office star, comedian, and former battle rapper PAGE KENNEDY releases new self-titled album “PAGE” following his release with Method Man and Elzhi for his new single “PAIN” available now across all DSP’s via EMPIRE.
PAGE includes production from Mic West and Grammy-award-winning Aftermath producer Focus featuring guests Xzibit, Ali Caldwell, Method Man, Elzhi, Chief Wakil, and more. The album is available to stream.
Described as “a stellar lyricist,” by HipHopDX and “an absolute beast on the microphone” by 2 Dope Boyz, Page utilizes his bar-for-bar lyrical prowess to tell stories celebrating and examining the Black and Brown experience through the lens of his personal experiences. The album is releasing following his co-starring lead in the 530.2 million worldwide box office hit “The Meg,” and ahead of his co-starring role alongside Wanda Sykes and Mike Epps in the highly-anticipated Netflix original series “The Upshaw’s,” which is slated for release later this year.
Page Kennedy explains “PAGE”: I’m known for hard beats, bars, and storytelling. Thanks to Focus and Mic West on production that is no doubt achieved here as they laid the perfect musical canvases for me to paint my thoughts and frustrations with 2020 upon. As a Black man and father, the injustices of 2020 hit hard and close to home. While my projects don’t usually have much social commentary in them, I felt compelled on this album to not only give a conscious view of issues permeating society and the racial and socio-political trauma affecting Black and Brown communities, but to also celebrate the things that keep us going as a people despite it all.
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.
