SAN FRANCISCO’S TROYLLF SHARES ‘FREE PLAY 4’
Being an independent artist is about betting on yourself! Investing in yourself, whether it’s the studio time, the production, down to the artwork. It’s about being a visionary and bringing those that enjoy the art as much as you do together.
For the year 2020, Troy had a goal of releasing 5 total projects which would include EP’s and Full-length projects. In January he released Poster Boy Troy 2, Followed by Muse Music in February, and Til Death Do Us Part 2 in April. In November he Released Muse Music 2, & ended the year with Free Play 4 by going direct to consumers.
At the end of the year, we see a bunch of artists posting their yearly analytics from Spotify, Apple Music, etc. with all the hundreds, thousands, millions of plays. Subscribers and countries their music has graced. With all that said, we all know that with music being so accessible these streaming platforms are paying artist fractions of pennies as opposed to when selling hard copies meant you got every dollar on the sale from a hand-to-hand transaction.
With this project Free Play 4, he took the direct-to-consumer approach. Free Play 4 is not only a full-length project but an experience, a capsule, and an exclamation point in 2020. But to kick off the year of 2021, Free Play 4 Has been circulating in the streets & on social media, where supporters can directly contact Troy through the Ryan Leslie created the app “Super Phone” & Purchase the Album & Merch. The most popular piece attached to the experience is the “Free Play Package” which comes with a digital download of the album, a hard copy, an album t-shirt, and other miscellaneous items inside a custom cereal box that features the album artwork. Look for Free Play 4 to hit digital streaming platforms in late March.
Rising DMV artist Luwhop Lewis releases new single “Gemini ina Nightmare” which is a mix of the catchy DMV flow along with a dope vibe that reminds us a bit of artists such as Tony Shhnow, Teezo Touchdown, and Bear1Boss.
It’s a mix of eerie tones along with a more silent whisper cadence to his voice creates a nice, easy going flow that is smooth on the ears. A new video goes with the audio that is shot in a unique and vivid purple lighting that gives it a ambiance to it that’s visually appealing.
Overall “Gemini ina Nightmare” is a nice single to check out below.
A bonafide Brooklyn hustler with a god-given talent for tough talk, Jay Critch runs on his own time. Clocking his game with an unfazed flow that makes this lifestyle look effortless, Critch shares the new video for “Minutes,” from his recent Jugg Season project. Featuring slow-burning production from Luca Beats, Critch creeps over the track’s understated instrumental with his natural gravitas on full display as he rings off a barrage of stone-cold flexes: “The bankroll look like Big Mac/Me and brodie gon’ split it like Kit-Kat/Took that money, I’m not with the chit-chat/II put her in the dress and she wit’ that.”
The video for “Minutes,” directed by Chinola Films, follows the rapper and Michael Kors-approved model on a cold, rainy night in Brooklyn, though with his entourage beside him with umbrellas in hand next to their fleet of white Lamborghini trucks, the crew could easily be mistaken for the baddest bunch of villains in Gotham with Critch at the helm.
Released in February, Jugg Season is the culmination of Jay’s five years as a crucial figure in his city’s scene, brimming with the confidence of a hot shot upstart made good. Incorporating sounds from the Five Boroughs and beyond, the 19-track project bounces from the Shiny Suit Era to the SoundCloud explosion to the heyday of the Coke Boys, with Critch serving as a versatile and charismatic navigator. The 24-year-old Clinton Hill native flashes a lyrical maturity that nearly matches his ambition, weaving his own history with the rich heritage of NYC rap music. Jugg Season recruits producers from all over the rap map, with contributions from plugg maestro MexikoDro, heady Chicago sound architect BrentRambo, Atlanta impresario Richie Souf, West Coast magician RonRonTheProducer, and more. Featuring guest spots from Max B, Rich The Kid, and Baby Money, Jugg Season is available everywhere via EMPIRE.
With Jugg Season in the books Jay Critch, seeks to resume his Five Borough takeover. Stay tuned.
