PHILLY’S OWN KUR UNVEILS NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO “LET’S TALK”
After amassing millions of streams independently and earning co-signs from some of the biggest names in hip-hop, rising Philadelphia force of nature KUR reveals a new single and music video entitled “Let’s Talk” via Meek Mill’s DreamChasers and Roc Nation/Republic Records.
Watch and listen to “Let’s Talk:” HERE
The track revs up ominous production with the groan of four-wheeler motors. Meanwhile, he puts the pedal to the metal with a no-nonsense and uncompromising flow, bodying the beat tenaciously at every turn. The track culminates on a head-knocking hook as he urges, “Let’s talk.” The accompanying visual brings his Philly to life with no shortage of wheelies, of course.
It paves the way for much more to come from KUR in the near future.
Philly has its next championship contender now…
As the story goes, KUR first cut his teeth by leaving the competition speechless during lunchtime cyphers at W.B. Saul High School. Projects such as the Straight From The Kur mixtape and “Upside Down Cake” EP (where he murdered the beat for Drake’s “Poundcake” in multiple ways) led to the biggest hometown endorsement possible…Meek Mill shared lyrics from “33 Shots” on Twitter as KUR went on to participate in the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards cypher with Sam Black, Ms. Jade, Dave East, and Young M.A. Around the same time, he joined forces with New York phenomenon Dave East for the EP, Born Broke, Die Rich. 2019 saw him approach critical mass. His project Shakur spawned the infectious “Crack” and powerful “Soul” [feat. Mozzy], eclipsing 10 million cumulative global streams. On its heels, Spare Me vaulted to #14 on the Apple Music Hip-Hop and Rap Chart and #20 on the All Genres Chart.
In the summer of 2019, Kur dropped Shakur, with the lead singles “Crack” and “Soul” [feat. Mozzy] helping propel the album to more than 10 million global streams. Not content to rest, the rapper surprised the world in the fall of 2019 with the release of Spare Me, which reach #14 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop and Rap chart, #20 on its All Genres Chart and prompted Meek Mill to proclaim Kur as “the soul of Philly”. Signed to DreamChasers in partnership with Roc Nation and Republic, the 2021 LP It Shouldn’t Be Like This elevated his total streams passed 77 million.

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.
