@youngonassis Shows Promise on “When I Want It”

While Los Angeles is a hub for entertainment and talent, many unique artists get lost in the wave of Kendrick Lamar’s, Roddy Ricch’s, or even buzzworthy emerging names like J Stone. Without huge cosign, it’s easy to miss acts like Young Onassis. While Onassis has been in the studio writing for big names like BankRollGotIt, his music is just now starting to be heard. His mixtape, Lethal Weapon Vol. 1., currently has half a million streams on Spotify alone. His name has graced HotNewHipHop, Young California, and trended on AudioMack. Based in L.A., the Nigerian rapper/songwriter is now releasing the single “When I Want It.”
We all have moments where we feel like we can do and be anything. Almost limitless. That energy-fueled and inspired the song. Produced by TripiLz, the beat is hypnotic, gritty–and the song is about owning your accomplishments unapologetically. The visual is scheduled to drop at the top of November. According to Young Onassis, “If feeling yourself as a person, this song would be it. It’s a bold and confident affirmation that you can do what you want when you want to, being the captain of your own ship and lifestyle. It’s unapologetic and relatable.”

Dallas Riser Numbaa 7 Recruits Babyface Ray for Soulful “Difference” Single

Following the footsteps of the late Mo3, Dallas rapper Numbaa 7 impresses with his Texas-fried brand of soulful trap. Echoing his mentor’s famous sentiment–”everybody ain’t your friend”–Numbaa 7 shares “Difference,” his new single. Produced by Dallas stalwart Rob Stovall, “Difference” combines mournful piano with guitar, organ, and wailing saxophones to provide an ideal canvas for Numbaa 7’s drawly croon. Numbaa 7 counsels listeners to watch the people close to them for signs of their true intentions, while guest Babyface Ray warns aspiring VIPs to watch out for “cool-ass n****s.” “Difference” is the newest glimpse of Diary Of A Steppa, 7’s next album, coming July 15th via EMPIRE.
Born and raised in the Pleasant Grove section of Southeast Dallas, Numbaa 7 determined that the only way he could escape his circumstances was by picking up a mic and a pen. At the age of 16, rhyming under the name of YNB x Stretchgang, 7 released “Numbaa 7,” his debut single and anthem, racking up over 2 million streams across platforms. Despite his fast start, Numbaa 7 encountered personal and legal obstacles that nearly convinced him to give up on his rap dreams. That all changed when he met Mo3, the Dallas legend, who took him under his wing and signed him to H$M Music. After signing to H$M in 2019, Numbaa 7 quickly regained his regional bonafides, teaming with Mo3 for “Play Wit ‘Em,“ a Dallas street hit that racked up over 5.6 million views on YouTube. Mo3 tragically passed away in November 2020, but since then, 7 has put in the work to further his mentor’s legacy, releasing singles like “Control Us,” with Mo3 and fellow H$M artist MTM DonDon, “Murda Who” ft. Jackboy, and “Chess,” which Sparky called a “Dallas anthem.”
With Diary Of A Steppa, 7 welcomes listeners into his world, carrying the flame for H$M as he builds his own legacy in Texas and beyond. Stay tuned for more.

Rising Rapper ARDN Makes An Escape Plan with “Paper”

Blending athletic verbal dexterity with a sharp sense of storytelling and a facility with melodic flows, rising Edmonton-via-Burundi artist ARDN is the total package. Coming through with an aspirational anthem perfectly suited to rising temperatures, ARDN shares “Paper,” his latest single. Built around a walking bassline that provides a perfect counterpart to ARDN’s vocals, “Paper” finds the rising artist effortlessly switching flows from melody to rapidfire rhymes and back. The artist’s virtuosic verse mixes impressive internal rhymes with cutting punchlines and flirtatious come ons, creating quotable quips purpose-built for social captions: “Ion ever miss, but if I ever do, you can guarantee I’m gonna put it back.” “Paper” is available everywhere via 11 Music Group.
“‘Paper’ is a song that describes a girl I have strong interest in, that is dealing with a number of struggles in her life,” explains ARDN. “I offer her an opportunity to escape, by taking on a new journey with me in which we’ll adventure, and grow rich together.”
ARDN continues, “I went to the studio one day to record, and my boy Tyler Banditt showed me this idea he came up with for me, with my other friends Mardi Woya and Mariano Zelaya. I was instantly hooked, and couldn’t get the melody out my head. After the session I rushed home and immediately started penning verses to compliment it and everything flowed effortlessly. I went back to the studio, we put it all together, and we both knew in that moment that we had just made something special.”
“Paper” continues a breakout year for the young emcee, marked by organic growth and augmented by viral success. Earlier this year, ARDN made waves on TikTok with his song “Til The Morning,” which generated over 17k video creations and helped the song surpass 1.3 million streams on Spotify. ARDN’s follow-up single “Jupiter & Mars” proved his staying power, generating over 1.2 million streams in two months and earning praise from Complex. His 2022 built on momentum created by his single “Wavin” (2.8 million Spotify streams) and its accompanying project “Alien”.
ARDN has been honing his craft for years, studying the music and movement of artist like Anderson .Paak, Smino, and J. Cole and filtering his influences through his experience as a child of immigrants and his prodigious talent. With much more music on deck, including an EP dropping at the end of the summer, ARDN is one of the most exciting artists in the game today.
