TikTok sensations ElectraQueens release female empowerment anthem “Woman”
ElectraQueens’ new single is all about female empowerment. The group shares, “As a trio of strong, resilient women, we wanted to write an anthem for not only other women but also a song to empower ourselves. It’s incredibly special to us and reminds us of all the beautiful things we can celebrate about being female, no matter what that may look like. It also speaks on all the things we believe women deserve. The line ‘never seems to put her first, underestimates her worth’ was a line we had all felt deeply before, and we felt other women would relate to. We knew that we weren’t the only women that had felt this way, so we finally decided to sit down and write it for all the badass ladies out there who need some encouragement just like we do. This song is for all women, no matter what they look like.”
The Nomadz feat. Chucky Chuck, Insane Poetry and DRP release new single “Never Come Down”
After criss-crossing America on The Wasteland Tour earlier this year, The Nomadz (Chucky Chuck, The DRP, and Insane Poetry) have returned with a brand new track ‘Never Come Down’ available today on all digital music platforms. The song is the first new material the group has released since thier debut album surfaced in 2018 via Force 5 Records.
The music reflects the duality Alex holds, and builds up from this moment of clarity with an atmospheric reggae feel that drives you gradually into a fast and thrashy instrumental groove that drops at the verse. Although the song maintains its extreme energy while showcasing intensive changes in mood and tempo, it still maintains certain softer moments, the chorus is one of them. Throughout the track, the chorus increases in its energy up until the third and last one. The outro is stripped down into a piano only that uses the melody in a broken way, desperately outlining the need to refuel energy and rest.

Celebrated non-binary artists collaboration Miki Ratsula + Jules Paymer
Jules confides, “Miki and I have the unfortunate kind of privilege of understanding each other that allows a song like this to exist. To meet somebody who has had such a similar experience in their gender, family, and existence is rare in the first place. To both be on this difficult journey of not only being non-binary, but also making room for ourselves in the music industry where room was never made, is an incredible thing. It can be daunting and scary being an artist trying to make real change. Being on set for the music video and hanging out with our ‘younger selves. was kind of insane, it was hard but at the same time, very healing.”
Jules Paymer has received acclaim with their music being added to Spotify’s New Music Friday, SALT, and Young & Free playlists among others. Thanks for your consideration,
SUGARHILL DDOT RELEASES BOLD NEW SINGLE “LET HA GO”
“Let me tell y’all story ’bout this shawty,” Ddot begins over finger clicks and drill beats. “She really a dime and she always running through my mind, like but I really had to let her go.” The reason is simple: the breakout star is going places and he needs to keep his eyes on the prize (i.e. global domination). “Notice that I was really going far, got the Rollie on my left,” he spits. “I ain’t playing no games, better come with respect.”
