Bonita Jalane - Retro (Video Submission)

It's always nice to catch those Retro feels. You know the Martin, In Living Color like memories where everything was so wavy, colorful, and fresh! Bonita Jalane’s video “Retro” does all of that. Its playful, symbolic, and of course it's nice to see female vocalist on the reminiscent tip. The fashion in the video is Poppin’ too. It just makes us want to go thrifting!

Take a nostalgic moment and check out “Retro”.

Let us know if you want to hear more from Bonita Jalane in the comments below.

Ace Parker - Status ft PRZ Prod: Onlyxne

This music submission has that Travis Scott, “please get out of my face” vibe. Layered acoustics, playful production and a bit of ego, Ace Parker’s ‘Status’ ft PRZ Produced by Onlyxne, is on our list.  This “mystery” man, Ace didn't send in a bio with his submission...Sooooooo the fact that we actually took a listen is a blessing. Next time Ace Parker let us know who is sending the vibes. We might just want more.

Check out this track and leave your comments below! You are you feeling it?

Satori - Catphone

This time around we are going to let the submission speak for its self:

"Satori has been laying low following his Rolling Loud performance, but with summer only a few months away, the Milwaukee crooner is ready to get back on the hit-making train with more than just this surprise track. A collaboration with fellow MKE producer, LeanBeatz, was the perfect way to show fans what Satori has been cooking up in the past few months and gives us a taste of what to expect next. Be sure to cruise to this one on a late night drive..."

We have so many things to say (like but why Catphone though Satori...whyyyyy??? What is a Catphone? How do you call it? Is that just another way to say you got P*ssy on the line? We have questions! lol) but we want to hear what you think. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Dirty Thoughts - In-between/Us

As Editor-in-Chief of CopyWrite, it is my responsibility to reflect what I ask my contributors, audience, and community for. True vulnerability and expression from our crafts. Authenticity in our stories and humility in our humanity is where the creative world thrives. So here is a piece of me, that honors all of those things, as a true uncensored exposition of my latest thoughts in the form of a "poem".

(To my somebody, thank you for letting me share this moment.) 

 

In-between/Us

I'm in a house full of noise, even though you are not around…

Scratches at the door are nothing more than the wind bitch slapping these hallowed walls.I laugh as I jump off the toilet, “Maybe he is here”.

I know better...but still, I smile, maybe tomorrow...maybe forever.

No issues here.

 

I left my heart in San Francisco...or maybe it was Austin…

Half of that is a quote from a song but still, it fits.

Misfits...like long nights in deep thought.

“What about equality?” conversations of duality and understanding of an unlevel headed couple. Do we have a song?

I would play it if I knew

I have this way about me where I can put anything on repeat as long it makes me think of you.

I'm soft like that.

I have been standing hard tho, making sure with every tear there is a smile.

Being with you taught me that...rough times build beautiful people.

“I never seen your type of species”

And now that I have my eyes are stuck

Don't stunt too hard…

I don't like the leather fur with the jersey

Makes you look like a player and you don't play...that's my game and I win.

“Mine!” yes yours.

Possession is a hell of a (hell of a) drug even when you're not around to get high.

 

I’ll eventually have to sleep in those covers...on that bed...to keep your spot warm until you come home…

Or maybe stop by.

 

Because love, we got this.

I will again learn how to make my own sunrise...and when the world sees me I will never fail to mention how you placed the light on my moon.

 

I hope this finds you well.

Mitch Allen ft. Genesis Renji - Go Off

Today’s music submission is from someone new on our radar, Mitch Allen. The 20-year-old from Lake Geneva is working smart, featuring one of our local Favorites Genesis Renji with his song ‘Go Off’. With a distinct voice and slow tempo beat selection (Mitch made the beat), his unorthodox sound might just be what some of you are looking for.

Favorite Line: “Making money moves, that's a Cardi B attack” (You know at CopyWrite we love Pop culture references)

Check out this track and let us know if your rockin' with it in the comments.
