We're kicking off our fifth season with New York's own Brandon Payano—a writer, editor, and the US A&R for the influential Youtube show Colors. Yano introduces a bold, mesmerizing track from Toronto's Adria Kain, as well as an intricately woven delivery from up & coming rapper Myquale. We debut the raw, subtle sounds of Riverside, California's Brandon, an explosive new song from soon-to-be pop sensation Destiny Rogers, and dip into the time-worn tradition of Americana blues from Canada's Cat Clyde.
