Propho Lotto taps into his artistic instinct with the EP Different Animal Same Beast, Vol 1.

Published

The feeling of raw, authentic and real rap music continues to be lead by the indie artist world. Although a variety of new influences are flooding the scene, one artist isn’t fazed by the constant demand for change. Propho Lotto delivers the enticing EP Different Animal Same Beast, Vol 1; showing fans and music lovers what he is really capable of.

When it comes to a chill, collected yet leathal flow, Propho Lotto is the standard. His effortlessly captivating voice, transports your ears to another place. The Chicago artist proves that the Windy City has so much more to offer outside of drill music. Ironically, Lotto’s sound is almost identical to the West Coast region. No matter the location, his music just hits different and this latest EP only further adds to his melodic essence.

Choosing to use beats that are sleek and clean was a clever play by the Westside native. Although this EP was released in February of 2024, it still has a classic appeal, similar to Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. With just eight tracks, listeners can experience a mellow yet profound experience. A leading single “Mamba Mentality” is the perfect opener setting a slight tone for the project. However, singles like “Eatin”, and “Gone” really shed spotlight on Lotto’s wordplay.

Propho Lotto reminds rap and hip-hop how important it is to always stay authentic. From his welcoming tone, to his detailed words and most importantly that classic album feel, Propho Lotto is a must to add to your playlist. In addition to releasing this EP, he also gave fans the Different Animal Same Beast, Vol 2; on the same day! Listen to the full EP on Spotify below and follow @ProphoLotto on all platforms.

Published

In a world where the essence of urban culture is often captured within the constraints of a stereotypical narrative, BermudaCal stands out as the true architect of soundscapes that redefine experimental rap. The recent release of his music videos “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright,” “Pulse,” “Silver Lining,” and “GOD” is more than an introduction to his album The Divinity of Doubt; it is an invitation to an immersive experience of a complex soul. BermudaCal bares his spirituality, layering his raps with varied vocal tones to convey a complex relationship with faith and the often-frustrating pursuit of understanding mental health in a world that can feel indifferent.

Directed by the unseen lens of New York’s shadows, “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright” captures the essence of the city’s pulsating contradiction. Filmed in Brooklyn’s chilling December air, the music video offers a backdrop of engaging beats and melancholy piano melodies that juxtapose the dark lyrical themes portrayed. “Pulse” is an embodiment of life lived out loud, set against the electrifying backdrop of Times Square. BermudaCal channels the ceaseless energy of the city that never sleeps, merging genres and unraveling the cadence of urban nights. The visuals are vibrant and frenetic, mirroring the relentless rhythm of the iconic locale, making every viewer feel the potent buzz of the metropolitan pulse.

Set amidst the tranquility of Central Park, “Silver Lining” explores the yearning for unwavering love and devotion. Through the fusion of evocative jazz hooks and the modern cadences of hip-hop, BermudaCal creates a track teeming with poignant questioning and rich metaphors, crowned with a haunting saxophone solo. With “GOD,” BermudaCal returns to his roots in Bermuda. The intimacy of this track is amplified by the personal visuals, shot by Edd Roberts and PIGG FILMS, which juxtapose the grandeur of natural landscapes with the internal struggle of seeking divine answers.

BermudaCal’s music genius doesn’t merely operate within the music but within the fabric of the urban tapestry, where each video becomes a time capsule for the contemporary state of being.
