Kaleo Musiq - Forced to Speak (EP)

Eager are we? It may be an understatement.

Kaleo Musiq has been popping up all over the city, with showcases, music connects and unyielding management lol. He came on our radar after our Editor-in-Chief, Dirty, randomly popped up at 2035 Studios where he just so happened to be in the booth.

His EP ‘Forced To Speak’, places pressure on the “why?” factor that lingers above most musical artist and tells us about his motivations, as it “walks listeners through several hardships faced in life, the value of Self-confidence and the importance of vocalizing our truths.” (says Kaleo Musiq’s camp).

So what do we think…?

There is a place for this. There is a place for truth balance with hood notes and soul bending. There is a place for self-elevation and shared headspace that says I’m “Doing Better”. There is something there. Arguably, it's not all fleshed out but usually, it isn't until you realize that telling your story is the therapy and what the audience wants to know is are they Free To Listen? Kaleo Musiq’s ‘Forced To Listen’ is paced, strategic, but the voids….hmmm maybe its a test.

Our favorite tracks: ‘History’ & ‘Old Days’ - The wordplay and culture balance for the win!

Deonte Neely - Spiritual [Official Video] * COPYWRITE OFFICIAL DROP*

New video from Deonte Neely premiering here on Copywritemag.com

Deonte Neely’s new video ‘Spiritual’ featuring  WillTheGlide, shot by Antoine Davis, is 1 minute and 15 seconds of well-connected feels. As Deonte puts down his cell phone and picks up the hand of his smiling “muse”, he lets his smooth raps tell her about the manifestation of their connection.

Witty, vibey, springy (enough), complemented by great production and playful imagery, It gives a quick look at what local collaboration and music culture are conjuring up.

Is this palatable enough for the lusty, the love-struck, and the mid-ground hybrids most of us have turned into? Maybe. I mean everyone wants somebody to think their spiritual “aura glows” . . . right? Lol

See it here first. Tell babe later.

New Creature

I sprinkled ashes across the sands of the beach of my past. 

Phoenix arisen, 

Visions of me never going back there. 

Back when weakness was my strength. 

When strength was perpendicular to wall guards and closed iron doors. 

Doubled, open. 

But before, praises were given in hallways long enough to cast my demons. 

Demanding my spirit was. 

Denying my soul became. 

So I ran until run couldn't go no more. 

Piercing the veil of strongholds. 

I never knew had hold of me. 

In me. 

Created. 

A new thing. 

New being. 

New day. 

Surfing clouds. 

Catching sun rays. 

This here is a new wave. 

So I'm sprinting through every door open. 

Deadbolting every closed one. 

And embracing Everything God has for me.

Satori - Kill Shit! (Prod. 4Keys)

“Watch me insert the chip!” OKKKKKKKKKKKKKAYYYYY!

Today's track ‘Kill Shit!’ is once again from Satori!

As his submission notes “Satori is ready and willing to attack everything to get his title, and more importantly to bring some of that shine back after going ghost for way too long. His new-found hunger can be heard all over this 4Keys-produced banger and it's clear that there is no stopping Satori on his mission to kill all competition in sight.”

Clear enough! Sometimes you have to theoretically just “Kill Shit!”. It's a balance between making it happen and securing its done.
