#FREEDRAKEO: The Ruler Shares a New Animated Video for “GTA VI”
Drakeo The Ruler conjures a vivid world of intrigue and vice with his slang-heavy bars. Today, the unjustly incarcerated L.A. rhymer shares the official animated video for “GTA VI,” slyly commenting on the relationship between rap and reality.

Diamond Shake releases video for “Great New Meaning” via imPRESSED
“‘Great New Meaning’ is about hitting rock bottom and asking for help,” Hitchens tells imPRESSED’s Dawn Jones. For years, I was out of control and had no direction, and had driven myself into a pretty deep hole… I started to look into everything I was doing, and the reasons why I was doing it. It also forced me to reevaluate who I had become, what I was doing, and who I trusted. For the first time, I felt that I had at least begun to take the first steps in the right direction.”

Future Twin is the moniker for generative musician and multi-media artist Jean Jeanie aka Sara Jean Yaste. She is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer and dancer. She describes her sound as avant pop. Deli Magazine calls it “soul-gayz.”

A time when gender doesn’t come packaged with pain. A place beyond cynicism where visions of the apocalypse are replaced by the politics of the imagination.
