[Hip- Hop] BOYSCRY2 – GO

BOYSCRY2 is back with something that feels raw and real. His latest single, GO, is a genre-bending mix of folk, trap, and even a hint of country, but at its heart, it’s all about emotions. The South London artist says the track came out of a tough time in a relationship. “I was trying to sort out my feelings,” he explains, “so I just spoke to the mic and freestyled.” That unfiltered approach shines through, turning GO into a song that’s equal parts heartache and self-discovery.

This track is another step in BOYSCRY2’s evolution. He started out making waves in the drill scene under a different name, but his new direction is all about redefining what it means to be vulnerable as a man. His music tackles themes of mental health, emotional openness, and breaking down the harmful idea that men shouldn’t cry. You can hear those messages in every line, as he weaves his Caribbean roots and the punk and alternative vibes of London into a sound that’s uniquely his.

With GO, BOYSCRY2 isn’t just making music—he’s starting conversations. The song’s introspection and honesty make it relatable, inviting listeners to confront their own emotions. It’s available now on all platforms, and if this is the kind of energy he’s bringing, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on what he does next.

[Hip-Hop] Eternal Khali – Recognize My Face, Pt. 2

Eternal Khali is back, and this time, he’s got something that hits differently. His new single, Recognize My Face, Pt. 2, feels like the kind of track that stays with you long after the first listen. It opens with these sharp synths and heavy 808s that pull you in before the beat fully takes over. KGoLive, the producer behind the track, brings his signature energy, and the result is a sound that’s both raw and addictive.

Khali’s inspiration for the track came during a late-night studio session with KGoLive. They had already knocked out a couple of songs when this beat came up. Khali describes it like this: “As soon as I heard it, I freaked out. It reminded me of my favorite parts of Nirvana’s Nevermind, but flipped into something hyperpop. I had to jump on it.” With a quick tweak to the beat, the song started flowing, and Khali dove into themes of change and staying grounded, all while reflecting on his whirlwind of a year.

The single is part of his EP BLEACH II, and it’s just a small taste of what’s ahead. Khali has a full album, ANTAGONIST, and a short film on the way. If this track is any sign, he’s building something bigger, piece by piece. Recognize My Face, Pt. 2 is out now—go give it a listen and get ready for what’s next.

[Hip-Hop] K Zorro – The Prayer

K Zorro doesn’t hold back in his latest single, The Prayer. It’s one of those songs that hits you right in the chest. Pulled from his album Note to Self…, it dives deep into some tough topics—domestic violence, substance abuse, and the way people cling to faith when everything feels like it’s falling apart. K Zorro worked with producer LRD to create a track that feels as raw as the emotions he’s putting out. He says the beat grabbed him instantly, sparking lyrics that just flowed out naturally, telling a story that needed to be told. The video, directed by Jimmy Chiba, is just as intense, turning those emotions into vivid, unforgettable scenes.

K Zorro’s story starts in north London, and you can hear it in everything he does. He’s been building his name as a rapper, producer, and songwriter, blending hip-hop with grime, trap, and reggae to create a sound that’s unmistakably his. What sets him apart is how real he keeps it—his lyrics feel like he’s letting you in on parts of his life, no filter. As one of the co-founders of the UK rap crew New Guardz, K Zorro has been shaping the local scene for years, always staying true to himself.

This track is another reminder of why he’s one of the most authentic voices coming out of north London right now.

[Electronic] Golden Vessel – MOONSTONE feat. Elkkle & Akurei

Golden Vessel of Australia is ending 2018 with one final and super solid release, entitled “MOONSTONE” with friends and fellow collaborators  Elkkle & Akurei.

During a studio session Golden Vessel shares, ”I started  telling them about the stolen moonstones and then morphed it into a metaphor for a conversation we were having  earlier about missed opportunities and when we or friends miss out on something that should’ve been in reach (and  the frustration around that). The stolen moonstones became the missed opportunities and we all started writing. We tried  to sneak a few references from the different stories around stolen moon rocks into the song such as mentioning Joseph Gutheinz  who was a NASA special agent tasked with recovering the missing rocks.” This one is out now and you can grab it everywhere.
