Ty Dolla $ign

FEATURING TY DOLLA $IGN

The top collaborator and King of hooks. Ty Dolla $ign, solidifies his his place is the music industry with his album "Featuring Ty Dolla $ign". This quote from the man himself says it all:

"I’ve been blessed with the gift of collaborating. Not every artist can collaborate with another artist and have the final product be something incredible. Many people have said that when you see a song that says, 'featuring Ty Dolla $ign,' you know it’s gonna be fire. As humbled as I am when I hear that, I can’t say I disagree,"

With singles like 'Ego Death' Ft. Kanye West, FKA twigs and Skrillex and 'By Yourself' With Jhene Akio and Mustard, the album is sure fire and a must listen to.

Joyner Lucas

EVOLUTION

Following 'ADHD' Joyner Lucas is back with Evolution. Slightly sonically different, in that is has more relaxed tracks, we can still appreciate Joyner's ability to to bring multiple flows and relatable themes to the table in his music. Tracks such as 'Things I've Seen', simple but deep, and 'Falling Slowly' ft Ashanti, a toxic love story, makes Joyner one of our favourites to watch.

Starring: Summer Breeze Hoskins and DUCKWRTH

Directed by Alex Loucas

Creative Direction: DUCKWRTH & Xtina Prince

Produced by Them Hellas & The Blind Youth

Duckwrth is back at it again, and is bringing the funk with him, in his latest debut album ’SuperGood’. Infused with funk, soul, hip-hop and R&B, the 16 track album is nothing short of a work of a true talented musician. It's a collection of feel good music that has mass appeal, especially in these troubling times. The album screams nothing but positive vibes and a good time, hence the name ‘SuperGood.’ Duckwrth has declared that the project also serves as 'an appreciation to black music and black rhythm'.

SuperGood is the right balance, it consists of songs you can listen to on a late night summer drive with songs like ‘Super Good’, ‘Kiss U Right Now’ and ‘Find a way’ or if you’re in the mood to dance, it has upbeat, body grooving tracks like ‘Money Dance’ ‘Tuesday’ and ‘World on Wheels’. Each song is captivating and comprises of a warm embrace that makes you wanna listen to the whole thing. 

Duckwrth is a West coast artist and is definitely one to watch. His sound has developed and evolved over the years but he continues to bring out music that is daring and free spirited. He is an artist that spans across the creative spectrum, musically and visually. The visuals accompanying the album captures the entire album's aesthetic, connecting the whole narrative and not to mention being visually pleasing.

Also check out Duckwrth’s Ep ‘Superfunk’. A well crafted collection of ‘’the funkies grooves from ‘Supergood’.
