Backed by a lone guest feature, compliments of Ayo N Keyz' U.C.M.G. songwriter Itstaylormade (@itstaylormade__), Byron Juane (@ByronJuane) makes good on his vow and releases his 'Promise I'm Not Crazy' EP in its entirety. The 6-track body of work clocks in at just around 20 minutes, making it the perfect project for a Fall commute from work or a well deserved wine down after dinner. PINC is raw, vulnerable and pulls you in right from the start. From the Wes Writer & Quinten Coblentz produced standout “Nice Guy,” to the aforementioned collaboration with Itstaylormade in "Crashing," to the pre-order instant gratification track “Gorgeous,” Byron’s voice and his lyrics captivate you on every record.

When asked about the new collection of songs, the 23 year old pop-leaning R&B singer from Carolina had this to say: “‘I Promise I’m Not Crazy’ is a testament to the lengths we go for love. So many people swear they wouldn’t do anything drastic over affairs of the heart, but I believe those people are in denial or never experience true love. Love brings passion, chaos, insanity and hurt. It’s inevitable. The real question is, how far will you let it take you?”

After penning the hook on Saweetie's Billboard 100 hit "Tap In" over the Summer, LunchMoney Lewis (@LunchMoneyLewis) and LunchBox Records (@LunchBoxRecs) return by way of Florida hip-hop duo Layomi (@Layomitampabaes) new visual for "Ting."

Speaking on the song, The Tampa Baes - composed of OG Layla Johnson (@oglaylajohnson) and Naomi Bravo (@therealayenaomi) - state: "Ting came about after a conversation on our views on men at the present time. It's about having someone you love to kick it with, take trips with, party with etc. A Ting understands there are no strings attached. You just enjoy living life and having fun together without commitments."

Meek Mill-approved recording artist and Philly native, OZ Sparx (@OZSparx) releases his highly anticipated Vibin, Slidin, N' Connivin project. Equipped with features from Warner Records signee 2KBABY (@2kBaby) and 510 Music Group label mate JGreen (@JGreen510), the 18-track body of work gives a first hand account of what it's like to grow up as a youth in the crime ridden city. The 48-minute audio manifesto finds Sparx paying homage to 76ers' point guard A.I. on "Iverson," addressing drug abuse and it's sideeffects with "Prescriptions" as well as tackling the subject of mass murder per "Dead Bodies." 

Born Shem Adams, OZ Sparx, is a Pennsylvania based hip hop act. Influenced by genre giants like Future, Drake, Playboi Carti and Chief Keef, in addition to local legends like Lil Uzi Vert and Meek Mill, at age 15 he left school and took on music full time.

Mexican-American vocalist/songwriter, Lourdiz (@lourdiz) follows up her well received collaborations with Lil Gotit and Jon Z with a brand new visual. Titled "Somersault," the music video for the bass-heavy bop was directed by JMP (@ualreadyknowJMP), most known for his cinematic creations with Roddy Rich as well as 6LACK, and finds the teenage talent sharing the screen with family and local community members. 

Speaking about the new clip, Lourdiz states "Growing up in the hood, I learned early to keep my eyes wide open and my mouth shut: no habla inglés. When I wrote ‘Somersault’, the first line ‘can’t keep my eyes closed’ speaks to that and my present journey living in LA now. I have to be sharp all the time to figure out my surroundings and what’s my next move."
