Breezy BRG’s SHE – HER – A Valentine’s Day Revolution

Posted on 4 March 2025

Released on Valentine’s Day, SHE – HER is Breezy BRG’s unapologetic strike against the clichés of saccharine love songs. This Floridian rapper’s high-energy, scene-storming delivery turns the typical Valentine’s vibe on its head, infusing raw emotion and unfiltered confidence into every bar. Her flow is relentless, a constant undercurrent that sweeps you into her world, where self-assurance reigns and every verse leaves no room for pause.

There’s an undeniable power in Breezy’s sound, built on a foundation of experience and adversity, propelling her into a league of her own. Her lyrical delivery doesn’t just demand attention—it pulls you under her dominating aura.

The single oozes the kind of confidence forged through struggle, a celebration of self-worth that’s impossible to ignore. Breezy BRG is playing at another level, transcending mere hip-hop to carve out a space where both rhythm and soul collide.

SHE – HER is available to stream on Spotify now.

KiDD Crash hit hard with his hyper-trap earworm, Fuck with Some Bitches ft Res YaxX

Posted on 6 January 2025

KIDD Crash’s seminal alt-rap track, ‘Fuck with Some Bitches’, featuring Res YaxX, obliterates genre boundaries. This high-octane track from the 2024 LP Partycrasher strikes like a sonic wrecking ball, merging hyper-trap tempos, polyphonic production, and silky vocal lines that tether the chaos. In a frenetic mix teetering on the edge of over-facing, the melody pulls through like a lifeline, steering listeners through the trippy, neon-lit, 8-bit-adjacent soundscape.

Hailing from Cleveland but shaped by Toronto, Ohio, and Florida influences, KIDD Crash (Jamelle Lillard) proves he’s no ordinary upstart. Armed with an honours degree in music production and a grind-hardened work ethic honed since his 2015 debut, Crash fuses raw ambition with the technical chops to rival his idols—Drake, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and J Cole.

His dedication has seen him crossing borders to film music videos in Negril and Toronto, yet his roots in Sanford, Florida, remain grounded. Having first recorded music in his stepfather’s home studio at age 10 and cut his teeth on an upright bass in his high school orchestra, Crash’s sonic evolution has been a lifetime in the making.

With its acerbic wit and blistering conviction, Fuck with Some Bitches doesn’t just slap; it commands attention. As we step into 2025, KIDD Crash may still be hustling for his chart-topping breakthrough as a criminally underrated artist, but if he keeps on producing hits in the same vein as Fuck with Some Bitches, justice will soon be served.

Fuck with Some Bitches is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.

Loose Change 10k became an unreckonable force in the Floridian hip-hop scene with their trippy hit, Haters

Posted on 19 October 2024

The Floridian hip-hop duo Loose Change 10k has once again proven its unreckonable mettle with the latest single and music video, Haters. The wavy and melodically trippy track instantly sets a mind-bending tone; once you’ve sunk into the saturated reflections of old-school hip-hop roots, the bars kick in and push adrenalized momentum into the hit with every syllable flexed.

The juxtaposition between the energy injected by the two MCs, O-Head and Danny Duke, and the catharsis of the experimentally catchy melodies leaves you cascading through a vortex of Loose Change 10k’s ingenuity.

With a sound that’s as fresh as it is fierce, they’ve reserved a space in the hip-hop pantheon with Haters, which vindicates anyone who has collected their fair share of haters simply by succeeding. If any track is going to convince you to take it all in your stride and leave them to stagnate, it’s Haters.

Stream the self-shot and produced video for Haters, which premiered on October 8th, via YouTube.
