Angel Dweh is not just an artist—he’s a force.

Dweh, a Liberian-American singer, songwriter, and actor, is an artist on a mission—to create, innovate, and push the boundaries of Afrobeat, R&B, and cinematic storytelling. His new EP and film are both testaments to that vision, brimming with originality, energy, and an undeniable sense of purpose.

Wildcat Hawkins isn’t here to follow the rules. With a title as explosive as Don’t Mind the Sellout Train When I Dynamite the Tracks, the 2024 single from the boundary-pushing artist is anything but conventional.

It’s not just a song; it’s an experience that unfolds moment by moment, as unpredictable and mesmerizing as the rainstorm that set the scene for its accompanying music video.

Some artists write songs, and some bleed them onto the track. With RED TO BLACK AND BLUE, lilqueen—born Tayler in Hattiesburg, Mississippi—delivers his most personal and cathartic release yet.

With a genre-blurring sound that fuses trap beats, rock intensity, and alternative pop sensibilities, lilqueen proves that his music is not just a form of self-expression—it’s a lifeline.

Brixton-born rapper Political Peak kicks off the new year with "Make It," a powerful, high-energy hip-hop anthem that is equal parts introspective and motivational. The track, recorded in a studio setting alongside his trusted team, showcases a fresh side of Peak’s artistry—one that leans into intricate lyricism while maintaining his signature raw energy.

Josh Westover is no stranger to introspection, but on Songs of Reflection, his latest five-song EP, he turns that gaze deeper than ever before. Known for his indie/alt-rock sensibilities and DIY ethos, Westover wears his influences—Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, Massive Attack, and Pink Floyd—proudly on his sleeve, yet molds them into something uniquely his own. The result is an atmospheric, deeply personal record that balances melancholy with hope, darkness with light, and raw emotion with meticulous production.

In our above interview with Isabella, she opened up about the inspiration behind “Gotta Be.” For her, the song represents a journey of self-discovery and reflection, a theme that resonates strongly in both the lyrics and the musicality. Co-written with Teresa Nocita and Brian Melo, the 2007 Canadian Idol winner, the track is as much about personal empowerment as it is about connection.
