Reggie Bonds - thingsliveinthedark Prod: Mike Regal

/

As the city waits for Reggie Bonds upcoming project, "From the NORF$IDE W/ Love", he brings us the track, "thingsliveinthedark." As Reggie put it "This song was something I feel is a statement; something that has been inside me for a longtime. Just thoughts that I like had to get out my head sooner or later." Bonds' confident lyrics over Mike Regal's production brings together a track that shows off his demeanor about his city; as he tells the world that he is just getting started with his music.

Check out the track below and if you're in Milwaukee this Saturday June 4th, go listen to the full album release at his listening party. (Did we mention that there will be a raffle for a chance to win a FREE pair of Yeezy Boost 350?) 

Reggie Bonds has been on a terror lately as he sets to release his project From The NORF$IDE w/ Love. He collaborates with fellow Milwaukee producer and often collaborator Mike Regal as they always cook something good up. "This song was something I feel is a statement something that has been inside me for a longtime just thoughts that I like had to get out my head sooner or later. Enjoy.

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.

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!!
