Flyana Boss' 'This Ain't The Album' Is For the Girls and Baddies
With every drop serving undeniable heat, it’s hard to believe Flyana Boss has a single L in them. Their newest EP This Ain't The Album is a five-song rave for the girls, as boisterous and perfectly hip-hop as you’d expect it to be. Tag-teaming seamlessly bar for bar, Flyana Boss are two individual expressions that together have built a unified organism. Though they each bring something different to the booth, the result is one loud exclamation of Black girl joy.
Maude Latour Captures the Unbridled Joy of Friendship in "Too Slow"
Maude Latour is a pop star in every sense of the word, a star in the making with the ability to transcend what could be perceived as a simple bop to something more profound than you’d ever expect. Her imaginative new single, “Too Slow,” is the first taste of a long-awaited debut album from the rising star. The spirit of youth seeps through every Latour song and this explosive anthem takes it to the next level by grounding itself in the high school experience.
ROLE MODEL Marks a New Beginning With “Oh, Gemini”
The last time we wrote about ROLE MODEL, it was for a review of “a little more time,” a heartfelt, homesick, sad-but-happy love letter to a special city and a special someone. Since then, the times have changed, the special someone is now a someone of the past, and after a full trip around the sun, the LA-based bedroom pop star has returned to our eyes and ears with “Oh, Gemini.”
girl in red and Sabrina Carpenter Are 2024's Alt-Pop Dream Team in "You Need Me Now?"
We love an unlikely pairing, especially when it’s two different yet complementary artists like girl in red and Sabrina Carpenter. Although they were both openers for Taylor Swift’s historical 'Eras Tour,' the duo tend to gravitate towards different sides of the pop music spectrum. But “You Need Me Now?” is proof that opposites attract, and can make a damn good banger together.
Flwr Chyld and Grimm Lynn Link For "Move" Ahead of Joint Project
A long-awaited return, Flwr Chyld is back and with good company. The first single off his upcoming joint album with southern certified lover boy Grimm Lynn, “Move” is a sensual cocktail of push, pull, and longing.
Benson Boone's “Slow It Down” Highlights the Breakout Artist's Still Untapped Depths
Though Benson Boone has become an overnight global phenomenon who is making waves with his intimate pop confessions, his latest single “Slow It Down” highlights the vulnerability behind the artist’s music. The single gives listeners a sneak peek into Boone’s debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, arriving April 5.

ARTIST DISCOVERY
Bear1Boss Is Culture Incarnate in 'SUPER BOSS!'
Hip-hop and the culture surrounding it are changing faster and more dramatically than they ever have before, and few places contribute to this perpetual evolution like Atlanta. At its nucleus lies Bear1Boss, an artist armed with a deep reverence for those that preceded him, and an equally prevalent affinity for iconoclasm and boundary-pushing. Bear1Boss isn’t just moving Atlanta’s sonic landscape forward, however, he’s been woven into it after years of co-signs, guest features, and countless colorful mixtapes.
