Review: Philthy Rich’s “Eastside” is a sinister treat

If you’re versed in the ways of Philthy Rich, you know two things: he’s one of the hardest working rappers in the game with almost a decade of work under his belt, and that he’s multi-talented, always switching up his sound and flows. These two aspects of his character go into what you’ll get when you turn on a Philthy Rich song – you may not know what you’ll receive. Turns out, that’s fine. The years have made him more duplicitous, craftier if you will. He’s also creative enough to keep pushing the envelope.
Enter “Eastside,” one of Rich’s latest drops to the world. It’s sinister, foreboding, and dark enough to drive through with your fog lights on. The piano in the background really sets the mood, with the drum pattern evoking the classic Bay Area sound that America knows and loves. On the track, Rich brings his lyrical capabilities to the forefront with GT, Icewear Vezzo and Team Eastside Peezy. Each person brings a verse tailor-made for the turn-up meaning that this song will definitely get the spins at the parties. While it isn’t the most lyrical showcasing ever made, it’s perfect for what the song was created to be.
For Rich to be as translucent as he is in navigating rap’s waters, the track stands out as a testament to his ability to continuously evolve with the game. Many artists often find a sound and stick with it, and in the process get left behind by the currents of time. Stagnation becomes the norm, with other artists also following suit and in the process eliminating themselves from winning contention. Other times, artists try to adapt to new sounds and lose themselves in the process, coming off as inauthentic and losing their fanbase. Rich has avoided all of these problems and sounds as authentic as someone just coming out. It’s no easy feat, so props to Rich for being able to consistently kill it as he does.
If “Eastside” is any indicator of the quality of music on Rich’s upcoming album “Sem God” that comes out on Nov. 17, we’re excited to check it out.

Los Cabos Premier Jazz Experience, “The Life Luxe Experience”, Announces New Date and Exciting Additions

The black, female-owned jazz experience, The Life Luxe Experience, has just announced, November 2-6, 2023 as the new date for their annual event held in the relaxing city of Los Cabos, Mexico. The Life Luxe Experience has always created its weekend event based on the needs and desires of its guests, many who, despite a desire to attend, found the dates in conflict with important personal milestones.
“We believe that what makes the Life Luxe Experience different from other jazz events is our special connection with our guests“, said CEO and Co-Founder Dianna Clarkson. “Our experiences are curated based on our knowledge of who our guests are and through listening to their feedback. Many guests have told us that they will come to a Life Luxe Experience no matter when it is held. however, after scheduling the event in May, we received lots of feedback that they preferred coming to Los Cabos in November. With that in mind, we made the decision to move the 2023 event back to our November date and we plan to keep it there for years to come“.
The Life Luxe Experience is an upscale and urbane event created to celebrate the best of culture, cuisine, and creativity while highlighting the universal influence of jazz. After receiving feedback about the current talent steering away from their traditionally jazz-focused lineup, they have decided to go back to their roots by highlighting the best acts in jazz and soul. This bucket list-worthy event offers the ultimate getaway by pairing an upscale, international destination with 5-star accommodations, fine haute cuisine, top-shelf libations, breathtaking golf, spa, health and wellness workshops, curated experiences around Los Cabos.
Stop time in its tracks and indulge yourself in a weekend complete with all of the necessary luxuries and experiences needed to delight your senses and fill your soul.
