Joël Francis, new artist on the block, here to shake things up.
Joël Francis aka Joëlle Serena Francis is a 22-year-old artist living in Belgium with her roots in Suriname.
To be part of something bigger, greater, is something she was longing for for as long she can remember.
The feeling of coming home but at the same time belonging somewhere that even transcends yourself. Is what good music represents for her.
She started writing little plays and lyrics at the age of 9. And has never stopped since. She currently studies Drama and she’s just begun her musical journey alongside her studies.
Music had always been a part of her life first through Gospel and later through soul, jazz RnB and pop. Artists like Jazmine Sullivan, Snoh Aalegra, Sza, Victoria Monet and H.E.R( just to name a few), are a very big source of inspiration for her.
She admires these artists so much because their music is able to speak with her straight from the heart. That’s what she wants for her music too. To be right from her heart directly to the person listening to her music. So that, even if it’s just one person, they can also feel like they’re part of something.
Joël makes whatever kind of music she feels like she wants to make. It all comes from an emotion, feeling or intuition.
Right now she’s experiencing with genres like R&B, pop and Afro-pop. But she’s open to so many more styles in the future.
From her first single ever, named IMUP (produced by Shunin) to her third single InterPhased (feat & prod by Tevin MK), she feels like it could only go up from here.
The inspiration grows everyday.
This is definitely not the last you’ll hear of Joël Francis, for her journey has just begun.

Lowkey Lu is a rapper from the south of Ireland. He has lifetimes of stories to tell, and an underlying message which he is committed to sharing with the world. The message at it’s core is that the people of Ireland deserve better. Greed has seeped its way into every layer of society here. The rich get rich, the poor get poorer, you know how the story goes. But how does it end? More importantly, when?
Lu subscribes to the idea that the role of art is to hold a mirror to society, and aims to do just that by sharing his perspective with what has been described as “brutal honesty.” With this he hopes to shine light on issues which have impacted him such as the housing crisis, underfunded hospitals, corrupt legal system, and lack of mental health support in Ireland.

He dropped out of harper to pursue and become a rapper. He worked at homedepot in this time frame and freestyle rap with some friends. He wanted to step in the booth, but felt he wasn’t ready.

END IT hail from Baltimore, MD and they want you to know it. Formed in 2017, the five-piece have pride for the city and often address the unease mixed with hope that stems from the community they live in. The band came on strong with the release of their self-titled EP the same year they started, and followed it up with 2020’s One Way Track, gaining them notoriety amongst the hardcore scene. END IT are set to release follow-up Unpleasant Living on their label home Flatspot Records this July. Recorded with Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations Recording, Unpleasant Living delivers with ferocity and purpose. The message? Mind your business.
The band takes heavy influence from ‘90s hardcore, having already drawn comparsions to acts like Leeway, Gut Instinct, and Maximum Penalty. They’ve also shared the stage with a diverse group of artists, ranging from Cro-mags and Life Of Agony to Turnstile and Lil Ugly Mane, and will add to that list this year as they plan to play shows as much as possible.

Support your locals like Section H8
Formed in 2018, in Los Angeles, California, Section H8 creates gritty and callously honest hardcore punk. Pulling from forbearers of music that was integral to the underground like Madball, Onyx, Agnostic Front, Suicidal Tendencies, Slayer, and Cold As Life, the quintet doesn’t always sound like those acts but are instead influenced by the enduring energy of that music. Alongside their two EP’s, Phase 1 and Winter Games, Section H8 built their name through their explosive live shows, sharing the stage with an eclectic list of notables such as Madball, Ghostmane, Show Me The Body, Lil Ugly Mane, Gulch, Gatecreeper, Jesus Piece and many more.
Welcome To The Nightmare is pure hardcore punk at it’s finest, with fast as hell instrumentals that quickly become formidable and pummeling on the turn of a dime. Section H8 have mastered their blend of blistering punk mixed with heavy grooves, as found on album opener “Nightmare” or “Mist-Head”. Lyrically the ten tracks each tell their own story, ranging from personal experiences living in Los Angeles, crime, and death, to the current political divide in America, the legal system and the corruption within it. On Welcome To The Nightmare, Section H8 give an honest and unfiltered look at life through their own eyes, or as vocalist Mexi says, “The goal isn’t to change the world, but to give you a glimpse into our world.”

Support your locals like Regulate
Breaking onto the hardcore scene in 2013, New York’s Regulate have shown a resillent and earnest approach in everything they do. This rings true on the band’s upcoming self-titled LP that will drop September 30th on their new label home, Flatspot Records. The ten tracks on the album developed organically throughout the brunt of the pandemic, inspiring vocalist Sebastian Paba’s most personal lyrics to the date. Regulate has always been an outlet for vulnerability – the band’s latest album In the Promise of Another Tomorrow (2018) shined with commentary on identity and power structure complimented by explosive musicianship. Regulate takes the band to another level, teetering between a traditional hardcore sound and something more striking, pulling additional inspiration from Latin music and R&B. Paba effortlessly handles both screams and what might be the catchiest clean vocal delivery in the entire genre while pushing forth thoughts on serious topics like genocide against indigenous peoples and more light-hearted notes of just loving making music.
Having already shared the stage with a heavy list of bands like Terror, Backtrack, Glassjaw, Madball, and Burn, the band is prepped to get back to touring steadily in 2022. They’ll hit the road with Vein.fm and Candy this summer and are also slated for numerous festival appearances.
Heading into a new album cycle, ambitions are high for Regulate, but they don’t mind leaving a few things up to interpretation.

Certainly high praise for a band that recently came off tour with Fishbone’s Angelo Moore. “Rebelmatic brings out the automatic rebel in you,” Moore stated of his tour mates. Rockers, Rebelmatic have been racking up a large number of legendary live performances, most recently packing out Webster Hall with indie darling Kool A.D. (Das Racist). When asked about the band, “Rebelmatic is the shit! Fuck with them,” was Kool A.D.’s only reply.

Miami artist Sylvan LaCue, has been steadily building a loyal fan-base over the years with unparalleled skills on the mic, a forward-thinking sound, and a humble perspective. LaCue left his first major mark on the music industry with his Searching Sylvan mixtape in the fall of 2014. The project was widely regarded as one of the best narratives to be told in rap that year, receiving praise from HotNewHipHop, Huffington Post, Complex, XXL and more. Searching Sylvan touched on everything from LaCue’s financial struggles and family battles to the rap game and the start of a new love — cementing the rapper as one of rap’s most poignant storytellers to watch. LaCue shed his original ‘QuESt’ artist name, going with his real name and launching his own company WiseUp & Co. The emcee went on to release his critically acclaimed album Far From Familiar in April of 2016, the official follow-up LP to his Searching Sylvan mixtape, catapulting LaCue into the next level of his career.
Following so, LaCue released his sophomore album Apologies in Advance in January of 2018. The success of single’s such as Best Me, Grateful, Guilt Trip, Selfish, & 5;55, have taken Sylvan’s career into high form. Described as a 12 step program towards growth & acceptance, Sylvan’s candor towards emotional, physical, & mental health have allowed him to carve out his own lane with honest music about human nature, finding his purpose, and being open in his lyrics about the ‘not so perfect’ parts of life.

In 2020, Triple One released their debut album ‘Panic Force’ which debuted at #1 on the ARIA hip-hop charts, and #8 on the ARIA album charts. It was also crowned the triple j ‘Feature Album of the Week’.

Support your locals like Dashboard Confessional
Singer/songwriter Christopher Carrabba became the poster boy for a generation of emo fans in the early 2000s, having left behind his former band (the post-hardcore Christian outfit Further Seems Forever) to concentrate on vulnerable, introspective solo musings. Armed with an acoustic guitar and soul-baring song lyrics, he christened his new project Dashboard Confessional — named after a lyric in “The Sharp Hint of New Tears” — and began releasing material in 2000. By 2001’s The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, Dashboard Confessional had evolved into a full-fledged band, but Carrabba nevertheless remained the focal point of both the group and the rejuvenated emo genre. The band hit its mainstream peak with mid-decade releases A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar (2003) and Dusk and Summer (2006), releasing two more studio albums before retreating from the spotlight for almost a decade. Their only 2010s effort, Crooked Shadows, was issued in 2018. By the time they released a greatest-hits retrospective in 2020, they had become respected scene veterans with decades of earnest, timeless tracks. In 2022, following pandemic lockdowns and a major motorcycle accident, Carrabba returned with All the Truth That I Can Tell.
Dashboard Confessional took root in Boca Raton, Florida, Carrabba’s home since the age of 16. The singer had previously fronted the Vacant Andys and the Agency before joining the ranks of Further Seems Forever, but the desire to pursue something simpler led him to create Dashboard Confessional as a side project. Carrabba molded simple acoustics with passionate, personal wordplay on his 2000 debut, Swiss Army Romance, and a devout audience began to gather around the naked honesty of his lyrics. Further Seems Forever entered the studio that September to record their inaugural full-length, but Carrabba’s plans to mount a solo career had already taken precedence over his current band. Nevertheless, he and his bandmates finished the album before amicably parting ways, with Further Seems Forever later recruiting former Affinity frontman Jason Gleason to replace their departed vocalist.
By late 2000, Carrabba was free to devote his undivided time to Dashboard Confessional. The Drowning EP was released in early 2001, with the full-length album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most following soon after. The latter release featured a full band on several tracks — a vast departure from Carrabba’s previously unaccompanied material — and the heart-rending single “Screaming Infidelities” found an immediate home on modern rock radio. Dashboard Confessional toured for several months, and Carrabba rounded out the year by collaborating with former Sunny Day Real Estate guitarist Dan Hoerner on the So Impossible EP, which was released in mid-December.
Dashboard Confessional issued Summers Kiss, a companion piece to the So Impossible EP, in April 2002. Later that year, Carrabba recorded an installment for the MTV Unplugged series, accompanied by a devoted studio audience that sang along to every word. The show was released as MTV Unplugged 2.0 and served as his breakthrough performance, eventually going platinum. Now a staple on both radio and MTV, Carrabba returned in 2003 with a permanent lineup — including bassist Scott Schoenbeck, guitarist/pianist Johnny Lefler, and drummer Mike Marsh — and a new album, A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar. The record topped the Billboard charts and spawned another hit single, “Hands Down,” which peaked at number eight. However, it was the band’s contribution of the song “Vindicated” to 2004’s Spider-Man 2 soundtrack that truly resonated with a wide audience, with the song rising to number two.
At a peak in popularity, Carrabba collaborated with producers Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel) and Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Pearl Jam) on the band’s 2006 release Dusk and Summer. Released in June, the album entered the Billboard charts at number two and was supported by nationwide tour dates alongside Ben Lee, Say Anything, and Brand New. Dashboard Confessional then returned to the studio with Gilmore, recording the band’s fifth album, The Shade of Poison Trees, in March 2007. The album was released the following October, with its acoustic-heavy sound marking a return to the band’s introspective roots. Chris Carrabba explored both sides of his personality — the acoustic, campfire-worthy songwriter and the full-band frontman — with 2009’s Alter the Ending, which featured songs from both camps and even included a second disc comprised of stripped-down performances of the track list. After touring in support of the effort, Carrabba released a remastered version of the band’s debut, The Swiss Army Romance, embarking on a solo tour to celebrate the album’s tenth anniversary.
After an extended, nearly decade-long hiatus, Carrabba resurrected Dashboard Confessional for 2017’s Covered and Taped EP, which featured covers of songs by the 1975, Justin Bieber, and others. Early in 2018, Carrabba returned with Crooked Shadows, his first collection of original material in eight years. Vastly different from anything they’d done before, the set featured appearances by electronic dance act Cash Cash (“Belong”), electro-violinist Lindsey Stirling (“Open My Eyes”), and Chrissy Costanza (“Just What to Say”). The next year, Carrabba surprised fans with re-recorded acoustic versions of A Mark…, Dusk and Summer, and Alter the Ending as a set dubbed “Now is Then Is Now.” Continuing down the retrospective path, Carrabba celebrated the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut with a greatest-hits collection, 2020’s The Best Ones of the Best Ones, and was slated to kick off a celebratory anniversary tour. Carrabba even had a newly-written album ready to go. However, the planned trek was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic and, months later, Carrabba suffered another major setback after he was in a severe motorcycle accident in June. After surgery and physical therapy, he resumed Dashboard activities in 2021 with the release of the single “Here’s to Moving On” from the group’s 2022 album, All the Truth That I Can Tell. A clear reversal of Crooked Shadows, the introspective set recalled Dashboard’s first two acoustic guitar-based albums, going so far as to recruit the same producer, James Paul Wisner. ~ Andrew Leahey & Neil Z.

Support your locals like Kharma
Formed in 2015 in Chicago, KHARMA deals in gritty, metallic hardcore with walls of sound to pummel the listener into submission. Directly influenced by their city, from the forebears of their scene to the daily circumstances that inform their lyrics and unrelenting aggression, the quintet calls to mind the blunt brutality of acts like Neglect, Billy Club Sandwich, Bulldoze, and Arkangel. In the Fall of 2020, KHARMA returns with their most mature and downright hostile release to date – Most Dangerous Game, due out on Flatspot Records. Throughout the 5 tracks, KHARMA flexes their shattering sonic assault on topics such as classism, police brutality and racism, systems of oppression the band has been challenging since their inception. Inspired by Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game”, the band applies the analogy to varying degrees within the dismal stories told on their label debut. The mix of KHARMA’s pulverizing riffs with harsh, spiteful vocals amount to a concoction of mosh-ready and genuine anthems for the dark modern age. Recorded and mixed with Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos) at Bricktop Recordings in Chicago, the no-frills and fervid performances on Most Dangerous Game proves why KHARMA has become an up and coming favorite to watch on hardcore bills throughout the country and solidifies their further rise in Chicago’s heavy music scene.

Support your locals like Cousin Stizz
A native of Boston, Cousin Stizz is an MC with a direct, laid-back flow and confident lyrics about his life experiences. He grew up listening to ’90s hip-hop acts like A Tribe Called Quest and the Notorious B.I.G., but when he heard Southern rapper Gucci Mane, he became enamored with the slow, hypnotic beats of trap. He built up a buzz with his self-issued mixtapes, then made his major-label debut with One Night Only in 2017, followed by the 2019 full-length Trying to Find My Next Thrill. He became an independent artist again, and released Just for You in 2022.
Initially a member of a group called Pilot Nation, Stizz (born Stephen Goss) set out on his own, releasing his debut, Suffolk County, as a free download in 2015. With minimal promotion, the release gained a word-of-mouth following, attracting the attention of Drake and Mac Miller (who invited Stizz to open for him on tour). Second mixtape Monda, named after a friend who passed away as a teenager, appeared in 2016. Suffolk County was issued on vinyl by Omertà, Inc. in 2017, the same year Stizz signed to RCA Records. The “Headlock” single (featuring Offset of Migos) preceded One Night Only, which dropped in May. Moving quickly, Stizz followed up later that year with a pair of non-album singles in “Living Like Khaled” and “Lace Up.” In 2018, he issued the All Adds Up EP, which included the tracks “Shop,” “Did It,” and “Way Up.” Cold Times appeared a month later.
The following year saw the arrival of Stizz’s sophomore full-length effort, Trying to Find My Next Thrill. City Girls guested on the track “Perfect,” and a subsequent remix featured Doja Cat and BIA. Stizz released a few more singles on RCA before leaving the label. Several tracks were independently released in 2021, including “Say Dat” and “Lethal Weapon,” before Just for You appeared in 2022, with Curren$y making a guest appearance.

Support your locals like Yellowcard
Combining punchy emo-punk and sweeping, violin-led alternative rock, Yellowcard‘s distinctive sound has helped make the Jacksonville, Florida band one the more popular acts to emerge from the fertile 2000s pop-punk scene. The group found mainstream success in 2003 after their fourth album, Ocean Avenue, went platinum on the strength of the chart-topping title cut. Yellowcard issued ten albums, including Billboard-charting efforts like Lights and Sounds (2005), Paper Walls (2007), and Southern Air (2012), before ceasing operations in 2016. Returning from a seven-year hiatus, the band issued the EP Childhood Eyes in 2023.
Yellowcard formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1997 but didn’t solidify their lineup until a move to Southern California in early 2000. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Ryan Key (who had briefly played with Cali-based Craig’s Brother), backing vocalist/violinist Sean Mackin, guitarist Ben Harper, drummer Longineu Parsons, and bassist Warren Cooke, the band officially debuted on wax in 2001 with One for the Kids (Lobster) and returned a year later with the Underdog EP for Fueled by Ramen. The group had a big year in 2003, replacing Cooke with Pete Mosely (of Inspection 12), signing with Capitol, issuing Ocean Avenue on the label, and heading out for a series of Warped Tour dates, with the recently added Mosely replaced by Alex Lewis. Fall and winter found Yellowcard hitting clubs with acts like Matchbook Romance and Less Than Jake.
In late 2004, Ocean Avenue was certified double platinum by the RIAA, and singles such as “Way Away,” “Only One,” and the title track continued to impact MTV and Top 40 radio for the rest of the year. The same year, Lewis was given his walking papers when Mosely approached the band about rejoining. Yellowcard‘s sophomore effort, Where We Stand, was reissued in June 2005, and Lights and Sounds was released in early 2006. Though ultimately not as well-received by fans as prior albums, Lights and Sounds entered the Billboard 200 at number five upon its first week of release, and earned the number one spot on the Alternative Album chart, quickly gaining momentum on the 2.5-million-selling Ocean Avenue. Meanwhile, founding member Harper (who also runs Takeover Records) left the group amid some band controversy and was replaced by Staring Back guitarist Ryan Mendez.
The band returned to the studio later that year and got to work on its fifth full-length, Paper Walls, which was released in July 2007. In 2008, the bandmembers announced they would be going on an indefinite hiatus, leaving Capitol Records. After recharging their batteries for a couple of years, Yellowcard signed with Hopeless Records and in 2011 released When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes. One year later, the band returned with their eighth studio album, Southern Air. Featuring guest appearances from All Time Low‘s Alex Gaskarth, Hey Monday‘s Cassadee Pope, and We Are the In Crowd‘s Taylor Jardine, the album included the alt-radio hits “Surface of the Sun,” “Awakening,” and “Here I Am Alive.” Ahead of the tenth anniversary of Ocean Avenue, Yellowcard announced that an acoustic reinterpretation of the album would be issued in August 2013 and that a celebratory world tour would follow. Longtime drummer Longineu W. Parsons III left the group ahead of the release of 2014’s well-received Lift a Sail, which was issued by Razor & Tie. At the beginning of 2016, the band announced the arrival of their tenth studio album. The eponymous effort was their last, with the group calling it quits after a worldwide tour in support of the release.
Yellowcard returned to the stage in 2022, performing at Riot Fest in Chicago, Illinois. The re-formation resulted in a string of studio dates and the release of the 2023 EP Childhood Eyes, the group’s first new music in seven years.

Support your locals like Digable Planets
Digable Planets burst onto the music scene in 1993 with their Grammy-winning single, “Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat)”. Made up of Ishmael Butler (“Butterfly”), Craig Irving (“Doodlebug”) and Mary Ann Vieira (“Ladybug Mecca”), the trio carved out a unique style of jazz-informed Hip Hop. Shortly after, Digable Planets followed up with their debut album, Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time And Space), an ambitious offering that Pitchfork praised as “a world within a world, complete with its own language and monuments.” The group celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Reachin’ in 2023.
Melding Jazz samples, and complex rhymes that touched on everything from the nuances of city life (Where I’m From) to abortion rights (La Femme Fetal), Reachin’ was a rich and vibrant artistic statement as well as a huge commercial success (RIAA certified gold).
Digable Planets immediately followed up with Blowout Comb, a bold and colorful meditation on Black liberation. While the album did not initially reach the immediate commercial successes of Reachin’, the album has aged beautifully, influencing future generations of Hip Hop heads, young Jazz musicians and Afrofuturists. The trio spent the 2000s establishing their own individual creative voices with Butler’s Cherrywine and Shabazz Palaces projects, Mecca’s work with BROOKZILL! and Irving as “Cee Knowledge” leading Cee Knowledge & The Cosmic Funk Orchestra.
In 2015, the group embarked upon a string of wildly successful live shows and has been very active as a tight touring unit ever since. In 2017, they released Digable Planets Live, a live album that showcases many gems from the group’s catalog as well as the trio’s skill at rocking the crowd with a live band. A pioneering act that continues to cast a wide-ranging, genre-bending influence, Digable Planets have left an indelible mark on music. More than 30 years after their debut, their music still shines, and the iconic group continues to bring their celebrated stage show to excited crowds around the world.

Malcolm James McCormick (January 19, 1992 – September 7, 2018), known professionally as Mac Miller, was an American rapper and record producer. Miller began his career in Pittsburgh’s local hip hop scene in 2007, at the age of fifteen. In 2010, he signed a record deal with independent label Rostrum Records and released his breakthrough mixtapes K.I.D.S. (2010) and Best Day Ever (2011). Miller’s debut studio album, Blue Slide Park (2011), became the first independently distributed debut album to top the US Billboard 200 since 1995.
In 2013, he founded the record label imprint REMember Music. After his second studio album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off (2013), he left Rostrum and signed with the major label Warner Bros. Records in 2014. With them, he released four studio albums: GO:OD AM (2015), The Divine Feminine (2016), Swimming (2018), and the posthumous Circles (2020). For Swimming, he was posthumously nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. Along with recording, he also served as a record producer for himself and other artists under the pseudonym Larry Fisherman.
Miller struggled with addiction and substance abuse, which was often referenced in his lyrics.[1] On September 7, 2018, Miller died from an accidental drug overdose of cocaine, fentanyl, and alcohol at his home, at the age of 26.

Canadian rapper and vocalist Drake has retained a bigger-than-life commercial presence shortly after he hit the scene in 2006, whether with his own chart-topping releases or with a long string of guest appearances on hits by the likes of Lil Wayne, Rihanna, and A$AP Rocky. Thanks to his introspective rap style, his sensitive R&B crooning, and his golden touch with songwriting, each one of his albums — from 2011’s Take Care to 2018’s trap-influenced Scorpion — topped charts worldwide, and singles like the Grammy-winning “Hotline Bling” and many of his mixtapes did too. As his star rose, he helped others along, sponsoring the Weeknd‘s early work, starting the OVO Sound label, and giving features on his records to up-and-coming acts. By the second decade of his career, Drake‘s constant chart domination, his Grammy wins and nominations, and his meme-worthy cultural presence made him one of the world’s most popular musicians, and the release of albums like 2022’s Honestly, Nevermind and 2023’s For All the Dogs became cultural events.

Emerging as a trailblazing name in the mid-’90s emo scene, Jimmy Eat World eventually found a larger audience by embracing a blend of alternative rock and power pop that targeted the heart as well as the head. The band’s influence widened considerably with 1999’s Clarity — an album that has since emerged as a landmark of the emo genre — but it was the follow-up, 2001’s Bleed American, and the infectious single “The Middle” that broke them into the commercial rock mainstream. The emo label proved difficult to shake throughout the 2000s, even when subsequent Top Ten albums Futures (2004) and Chase This Light (2007) did little to evoke the hard-edged sensitivity of Clarity, but Jimmy Eat World still remained a league above the generation of genre torchbearers they helped spawn. Settling into comfortable veteran status in the 2010s, the band continued to issue reliable Top 20 efforts, rounding out the decade with their tenth album, 2019’s Surviving.

Houston-born rapper and producer Travis Scott‘s psychedelic trap style makes him one of the more distinctive talents to have risen to the height of mainstream commercial popularity. His heavily processed, half-sung/half-rapped style set him apart early on, and he grew from affiliations with Kanye West‘s GOOD Music and T.I.‘s Grand Hustle in the early 2010s to chart-dominating popularity before the close of the decade. After his first studio album, 2015’s Rodeo, debuted in the number three position, Scott followed with a pair of number one full-lengths, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016) and Astroworld (2018), all the while assisting in platinum singles headlined by the likes of Rihanna (“Bitch Better Have My Money”), SZA (“Love Galore”), and Drake (“Portland”), and working extensively with Quavo as Huncho Jack. Whether leading or supporting, Scott’s presence was unmistakable, and he quickly accumulated Grammys, endorsement deals, and appearances in more than 80 charting songs. By the 2020s, Scott was one of the most successful living artists on the planet. This level of fame played into both extreme success and profound tragedy, with Scott being at the center of controversy surrounding the deaths and injuries of hundreds of fans at his 2021 Astroworld festival before debuting his genre-crossing fourth album, 2023’s UTOPIA.

Hailing from Northeast New Jersey, the most eastern point before hitting New York City, Alex Teran is a recent self-actualized artist years in the making to join the local music scene. With the influence mainly coming from NYC hip-hop, Alex is comfortable with being himself and identifying as a human being first, and acknowledging and learning about the greats before him to trailblaze his own path. Although he identifies as an Ecuadorian-American, his true power comes from understanding the intersectional nature of the world we live in and what it means to be true and authentic to yourself everyday regardless if the world expects otherwise. Alex talks about self-empowerment and encouraging others to find the light in their own situations while never staying satisfied with mediocrity and the status quo. In order to see the change in the world, we need to be the change in the world first. With his most recent single, “try again, fail again, fail better” a mantra taken from a Samuel Beckett’s Worstward Ho, he explores the shortcomings in his life and how it makes him feel and also an approach how to deal with shortcomings, and that is by never giving up on your dream or goal, no matter how small or large, or regardless of what others may think.

Support your locals like EnJB
EnJB is a multi-genre artist. He tries to make genres from electronic dance to old school hip hop, and in some cases, rock. He tries to draw as wide of a range of listeners as he can by making wide genres of music. People often call Electronic Dance/Techno his signature genre. His first song “Mechanism” was a good start, however it was weird for most listeners. He had one person who liked it, so he was inspired to compose “Mechanism – Remix” to make it better. He then focused on Electronic music to enhance his skills, however, seeing that not all people are drawn to electronic music, he decided to transfer to other genres. He tried some R&B. Next, he attempted his first rock song. Following that, he attempted his first Instrumental hip hop, “Midnight”. His weakest genre is Country, as he cannot play Country well. (Cold Beer was an attempt to play country). His song “Ancient Bird” became a bigger inspiration, seeing that he had improved over the last year. Seeing that he could do a wide range of genres, he decided to mix all of these in one album because one set genre for an artist can be quite boring. After the 2021 and 2022 albums, he decided to come back with a whole new style and wider range of genres. Who knows what they will bring?
