Lil Gotit & NAV Stay Cool Under Pressure the “Burnt N Turnt” Video
Lil Gotit is quickly rising through the ranks of the trap game with his superior beat-riding ability. Getting lit two times over, the Atlanta native shares his new video for “Burnt N Turnt.” A duet with NAV, who complements Gotit with his melodic flexes, “Burnt N Turnt” is a simmering trap track with production from Mike Hector. Directed by Whipalo, the video has a creepy and surreal vibe that perfectly suits the mood of the song. Gotit and NAV hide out in an abandoned safehouse as disembodied hands try their hardest to burst through the walls–unfazed, Gotit bides his time by reading a burning newspaper.

CHALK PORTRAITS RELEASES “MEMORY III”
Chalk Portraits, the ambient solo project of Metal Injection’s Greg Kennelty, has released “Memory III”, from his upcoming album “Memory” via Ghost Cult Magazine.
Greg commented “Memory III’ is my favorite song off Memory. I love that it’s in 5/4 and has this long, drawn out feel to it, with everything coming together on the fifth beat every time once all the instruments enter. Plus, the arpeggiator bouncing off itself adds a really cool atmosphere. Of the Chalk Portraits songs I’ve written so far this year, ‘Memory III’ is definitely my most listened to.”
SOUR TIMES RELEASES “DUALITY” LYRIC VIDEO
American extreme metal band SOUR TIMES have released a lyric video for “Duality”. The track is from their upcoming release “The 11th Hour” which will be released on May 14th.
The band commented “We at Sour Times are stoked to announce the release of our first single, Duality, off of our upcoming album “The 11th Hour”. We hope it captures the fury this era seems to embody. We endeavored to show you a clear view of America today: A corporate police state where greed is the law of the land. Our populace distracted and compliantly blinded to the atrocities committed by that state in the hope that they can one day be part of the ruling class through submission. All of our society’s ills blamed on the helpless poor as swift and violent brutality is dealt to anyone who dares to resist the wickedness of the machine. Profit over people, at all costs. The song aims to serve as both observation and warning that evil continues to thrive under the indifference of decent people. We hope it hits the mark!”
