Paris Bryant’s New EP: High Standards

February 5, 2025 — Leave a comment

Paris Bryant’s latest EP, High Standards, is a 5-song journey—raw, unfiltered, and deeply melodic. Born in PG County, Maryland, and refined in the Bronx, Paris went 5/5 on this one.

Tracks like “You Wylin” and “Jetski” stand out as instant favorites, showcasing Paris’ ability to balance catchy hooks with lyrical depth. Every track hits like it’s meant to be heard in a moment of solitude or shared in a room full of friends.

This release had me going back to his older work, and in 2022, Paris dropped A Trip To Paris, an album that highlights his versatility and talent. Currently, I’ve got “Club,” a standout single from that project, on repeat.

Get in tune below.

Anike’s self-titled debut album is a powerful statement from an artist who’s redefined Christian music. Formerly known as Wande, she’s the first Christian female rapper to achieve major commercial success, tour with Lecrae, and collaborate with TobyMac. Her name change to Anike, meaning “someone you cherish,” reflects her renewed purpose of glorifying Yahweh.

The album features standout collaborations. My top tracks? “All Around”, “Have Fun”, “Ese Baba”, “Pray for Me”, and “Desires”. Each song delivering heartfelt messages and undeniable vibes.

Capella Grey’s Vibe Responsibly: The Afties

January 27, 2025 — Leave a comment

An EP I’ve been keeping to myself, Capella Grey’s Vibe Responsibly: The Afties is the perfect follow-up to his Vibe Responsibly Vol. 1. What makes this project even more impressive is that Capella not only delivers captivating vocals but also produces and writes his own music, making every track feel authentically his.

The EP leans into the vibe that comes after the party, when everything slows down, and you can just vibe responsibly. “Im Weak” is my personal favorite from The Afties.

If you’re looking for something to vibe to when the night winds down, Vibe Responsibly: The Afties is your go-to. Available on all streaming platforms, this EP is the perfect soundtrack when you want to relax and enjoy the energy of the night.
