Atlanta’s prolific, independent rapper, Tony Shhnow has just shared a new music video for “Time Takes II”, off of his new project Love Streak. After introducing Atlanta’s buzzing “plugg” sound to the Hip-Hop mainstream with his breakout hit “Vet” (10M+ Streams), Tony Shhnow has continued to release music at a breakneck pace – sharing three projects in 2022 alone: Kill Streak 2 (Deluxe)Plug Motivation, and Reflexions,all of which received critical acclaim from Pitchfork (7.5)The FADERAudiomackOkayplayer, and Stereogum among others. Breaking away from his traditional “plugg” sound that he’s played a huge role in championing, Tony’s new project, Love Streak finds the Atlanta MC rapping with a sharp and well-researched East Coast flair over new-age boom-bap production as he fills the rhythmic space with lover-boy raps, his dizzying technical ability, and an impressive guest list to match. With his new music video for “Time Takes II”Tony Shhnow is continuing to usher in his new era by leaning into his new expressive sound and delivering aesthetic visuals inspired by 2000’s R&B videos to match.

“Light Skin Shohei” by Kapri is an undeniable West Coast anthem that resonates with anyone who’s ever had to prove themselves in the face of doubt. Representing his hometown of Santa Ana, California, Kapri channels the essence of the West Coast sound with a bouncy, dark beat crafted by the talented producer FORTWOE. The track is an energetic declaration of self-confidence, with Kapri effortlessly laying down his message of resilience over the heavy, thumping bass and smooth yet sinister instrumentals.

From the moment the beat drops, you know you’re in for something special. FORTWOE’s production is a perfect blend of dark and bouncy, giving the track that signature West Coast feel while providing the perfect backdrop for Kapri’s assertive and charismatic delivery.

Lyrically, “Light Skin Shohei” is about overcoming obstacles and silencing critics. The song speaks to anyone who has been doubted or overlooked, providing an anthem of empowerment. Kapri’s confident, laid-back flow ensures the message hits home: rise above the negativity and show the world what you’re capable of. The reference to “Light Skin Shohei” even adds an extra layer of personality to the song, referencing the celebrated baseball player Shohei Ohtani and drawing a clever comparison to Kapri’s own rise, much like the athlete’s dominance in his field.

His cadence locks into FORTWOE’s beat, creating a synergy that feels both personal and universal, making it easy for listeners from all walks of life to vibe with the sentiment of success and determination.

In all, “Light Skin Shohei” is more than just a bouncy West Coast banger; it’s a powerful statement about pushing through adversity and asserting one’s place.
