Jazzmyn Red – Positive Vibes Only [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments

On the lead single taken from Jazzmyn RED’s forthcoming follow-up LP, ‘Writing HERstory,’ the Brockton, MA-based poet/emcee delivers a passionately written track, “Positive Vibes Only,” that’s just as uplifting as it is infectious. “Positive Vibes Only” is also an important reminder that as dark and horrible as life may seem at times, there’s someone out there who can relate to what you’re going through. And RED makes her point not through condescension or holier-than-thou messaging; rather, she pens down-to-earth verses and spits with a smooth, soulful clarity. She’s not afraid to grit her teeth in the face of struggles faced by her community, though, and she makes that clear toward the end of the track when she rhymes: “Don’t want to see my son shot dead in the city/ I don’t ever wanna hear my daughter say she’s not pretty/ I’m sick of the negativity, positive vibes only/ I might stand alone, but I know I’m never lonely.” “Positive Vibes Only” also succeeds thanks to its musing and sonically rich instrumental from Cambridge, Mass. producer, The Arcitype, whose previous collaborators include the likes of Jared Evan, Slaine, Kool G. Rap, Scarface, and the late Sean Price, among others. He’s clearly a strong fit for Jazzmyn, who fortunately lends his talents to another track featured on, ‘Writing HERstory.’ “Positive Vibes Only” is now available for stream. Stay tuned for more info. and music from Jazzmyn’s sophomore project, ‘Writing HERstory,’ which is set to drop Jan. 16th, 2017 (Martin Luther King Day).

Ariano – Love Is Not Lazy [EP]

P.R. 0 Comments

“Love is not lazy. Love is hopeful, painful, wild, tragic, and powerful. But love is never lazy.” — Ariano Armed with a songwriting style that’s both imaginative and personal, Los Angeles rap veteran Ariano tackles the concept of love from a place few have ever considered. He’s doing more than rhyming about heartbreak and loss, because love extends to all parts of our life—and he explores every nook of it on his new EP, ‘Love Is Not Lazy.’ Ariano’s focus on the project became clear with the release of his compelling lead single, “Everything’s OK,” a searing and aggressive piece of social commentary that touches on a lack of love for your fellow man. From there, he broached the subject of relationships on “Anymore” alongside his teenage son, Sage Price, who sings the hook. And the final leak, “The Rush,” questioned whether the love you have for someone is really there, or not—is it a dream or reality? These tracks and the remainder of ‘Love Is Not Lazy’ are propelled not only by Ariano’s intensely honest lyricism, but also his growing prominence as a producer. He creates instrumentals that run the gamut from raw and distorted (“The Rush”) to dreamy and dusty (“Breakthrough”), but he ties them all together with a singular vision. Of course, fans of the SoCal Hip-Hop scene have recognized these talents for more than a decade. The rapper/producer has released a number of standout projects, including Music2Breakup2 in 2007 and this year’s fully instrumental Less Is
