yU feat. Danedra Rowell – Dreams [Audio x Download]

P.R. 0 Comments , ,

The A-side of the next installment in Mello Music Group’s 7” Series comes from Diamond District/1978er producer/emcee yU. The gruff DMV MC is known for philosophical street rap but “Dreams” takes a different route – the result a hauntingly beautiful track likely to end up on repeat. Enlisting Danedra Rowell on vocals, yU eschews the new age boom-bap that got him noticed for something closer to all of our heartstrings. Featuring no rapped bars, “Dreams” is a bittersweet ballad that is less literal than emotive. It captures that late-night, pensive feeling us music heads are very familiar with. yU is able to craft a sound that is universal and hyper-local, breaking new ground for himself musically. The drums sound like they could be on any Diamond District-related project but the melody and chords don’t sound too far from something that could find its way onto radio. Peeling back yet another layer of sound from his extensive pallet, yU is proving his versatility as a musician. “Dreams” along with the b-side “Prior Days” officially comes out on limited edition (300 copies only) vinyl 7” this Tuesday – though it is shipping early from MMG now! yU – Dreams (feat. Danedra Rowell) by yU

P.R. 0 Comments

It’s Day 12, and if you haven’t been up on Raw Energy up to now, allow Dashius Clay out of Florida really tell you what’s going on. With a submission of the same name, “What’s Goin On” hits this Friday hard with a track that he not only produced himself but also spits some real tough lyrics that are without a doubt sure to put anyone in the zone. Easily an anthem to close out the summer as well as this project strong, Dash raises the bar that was already high, even higher. Hit that play button. More on Raw Energy here.
