Meraki - S P L A S H (prod. Monte Booker)

Experimenting with some electronic beats and some funky vocals, listen to Meraki's track "S P L A S H." Produced by Monte Booker, the short song takes a fast tempo approach on Meraki's smooth and typically downtempo voice.

Peep it below and anticipate her EP entitled, "Foreshadow" coming soon.

"S P L A S H" I created this track to challenge myself with a unique form of production as well as with a challenge vocally. I also tried to make something that would distinguish me from what I am typically labeled as. This track is mere experimentation and I hope you all enjoy. Much more on the way for the Summer of 2016. Debut EP on the way..."Foreshadow". Thank you for listening.

Sterling LaVelle - Brainstorms & Blues

You've heard him on CopyWrite last October with his track "Cancer" but Sterling LaVelle has released his album, "Brainstorms & Blues." 

The midwest artist (originally from Milwaukee, currently in Chicago) brings us a refreshing change of vibes combining blues, jazz and hip hop with his life story. He collaborated with producers Spazzbot and WIZE and brought together a wide range of voices from artists such as Ayanna Jahnee, Rebecca Brunner, Hugo Lee, D'Zhari and Ron Bridgewater. We can see the live performance in the making; full band and all.

Listen to the album below.

Cool Tay - Can The Cool Be Loved ft. AR Wesley & Kyndal J

A collaboration done extremely well. 

Cool Tay's newest song, "Can The Cool Be Loved" is a beautifully produced and blended track that showcases not only the skills of Cool Tay, but the lyrics and vibes of AR Wesley and the sultry voice of Kyndal J. Produced by Mike Regal, the track is filled with energy and perfect timing blending the voices of the artists together to make one cohesive song and simply a dope ass track. (We see you, Regal.)

Peep the track below and let us know what you think. 

Can The Cool Be Loved

Vato - How You Feel

How you feel? How you feel? 

Well if you feel like Vato on his new track titled, "How You Feel" you will see the world around you changing. The uplifting track is about his perspective of how life is very unpredictable and how everyone can have the ability (and should have the want) to change. As he chants, 'We not just anybody, We gotta get it right'; the short song might have you reconsider what you have been doing with your life.

Check out the track below and let CopyWrite know how you feel.

Vato speaks truth in the track titled 'How You Feel'. Life is very unpredictable - so he wants to make the best out of every situation and experience thrown his way. Not being so serious about life but being grateful for everything. He makes this song a chant to remind him everything will be alright. 'We not just anybody, We gotta get it right". Peace and Love to all!!

Vincent VanGREAT Feat Blizz Mcfly - Bel-Air

SAFS Crew/Unifi Records Producer/Artist Vincent VanGREAT, is back with more of that updated 90's steez, with his track "Bel-Air"  featuring Blizz McFly (who dropped his "BLK Gold" project a few days ago). 

With his clever sampling stylistics and production expertise, GREAT takes the Fresh Prince's epic "Water glass" chime and turns it into the foundation of his 2 man "cypher." He lyrically fluctuates our need to identify the tempo and populates our eardrums with some dope sound movement.

"ANY REQUEST?" (Only real Fresh Prince lovers will get the reference lol) 

Check out the track and leave a comment. We would love to know what you think.

SAFS Crew Producer/Artist Vincent VanGREAT teams up with Blizz Mcfly to bring you this nostalgic tune inspired by the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" taking us back to the 90s with it's catchy, captivating beats and killer lyrics. "Bel-Air" is the second single from VanGreat's self produced debut album "UnGREATful". Stay tuned for more refreshing music from his full project to be released in June.
