Close your eyes when you listen to this.

From young producer Deshun Jetson, "Lucid Dreams II: Outtasite, Outtamind" is the second installment of his Lucid Dreams series. The project features seven beats that are unpredictable at times, modern, sultry and for lack of better words, hella' DOPE. You can hear the emotions in each track and the precision of clean drops and intricate elements developing in the background.
"Lucid Dreams II: Outtasite, Outtamind" is dedicated to Jetson's older brother, Outtasite Jetson whose currently incarcerated. Though we're not sure if his brother has listened to the project just yet; we can say that he will be proud.
#WeHearYou Deshun and we'll be anticipating your next project soon.

In a world where there are music videos after music videos after (really good) music videos. How can an artist separate there sound and visuals apart from the crowd? Well Cool Tay's "The Beginning of Forever (Short film)" did just that.
The "short film" caught CopyWrite's attention revealing a short film (music video if we're being honest) that showcased Tay's single "The Beginning of Forever" from his up-and-coming project, "The Experience" set to drop later this year. The captivating story produced by JSwaqq Productions, showed a lost Cool Tay on the search for his twisted love (played by featured singer, Jeronica Brister.)
Watch the film below and shout out to Mammyth and Mike Regal with the production (We hear you guys.)
Looking for love? Well we might have a track just for you.
As the first single off of their upcoming album titled HUE-MEN, Savage Sevyn, a Milwaukee based women duo, brings us "Lookin' for Love." A soulful track with a lot of energy, a Curtis Mayfield reference and deep influences of psychedelic soundscapes, hip-hop-inflected beats and what we love to call TRap & B (Peep the Erykah Badu reference), the track has shown us some love.
Listen to the lady duo below and let us know what you think.

Lover Boy, Emmitt James, is at it again. CopyWrite premiers to you “SUNFLOWERS”, the single from his upcoming project #THEFEELGOODTAPE, slated to release for Fall 2016. He always seems to make his muse some cutie with an unshakable aura, but this time his creative heart flickers for his niece, London Jo Ann, his Sunflower! Happy 1st Birthday London, this one is for you!
Featuring Bethel Solomon & Youngest Pope Eva, Emmitt James has created a sultry uptempo sound that reflects the simplicity of good vibes, unconditional love, and the beauty of nature. “I’m convinced I found an Angel, I’m convinced God loves me so”. These lyrics reflect on how some people just make the difference in your life. Gifts from up above, they shine light, they captivate, they become symbolic.
The catchy tune should have you eager to go out and pick a few Sunflowers to give to your own Sunflower. It definitely reminds us that even the most simple act of appreciation carries weight. All we need in life is...
GOOD people. GOOD vibes. GOOD energy.

Chicago native, Noname (Yes, her name is Noname), is a force to be reckoned with. And with the release of her debut project, "Telefone," Noname combines honest sharp verses with sass, poetry and a ballad of smooth soulful beats that will find you in a sense of thought.

Sometimes you have to listen to a song and let yourself feel the vibes.
In the song, "Good Sh*t" from artist Reese (formerly known as Ree$e), the uptempo dance track is both soulful and electric combining Reese's smooth melodies, Cleo Fox's quick-witted (and super steazy) rhymes over a More//Night production. The results.... an EDM track that even a hip-hop head will listen to.
Peep the track below and let us know what you think of Reese's new sound. We dig it.
