Heavy commercial EDM and Dubstep doesn’t get better than this as music producer Omen Ahead has mastered the art of stringing the diverse styles in EDM, dance, trap, and Dubstep together to create a glamorous hybrid musical style that is highly energized and which undoubtedly allows exuberant listeners to throw some caution in the wind and dance with reckless abandon under the exploding glow of the electronic melodies. His 4^th EP “Marionette’ is a 5-track collection that is overflowing with high quality and endearingly melodious tracks right from the first track “A Greater Evil” to the last one “Redemption”.

These tracks which have been molded together showcase the inventiveness of British-like urban music with the fundamental techniques from the wobbly basslines to half-time drum programming. The meteoric rise from one track to the other is unrivaled, with roots in the predominantly London-flavored two-step and grime scenes and experimental garage hints to the low-end frequencies. From this EP, you’ve got yourself a new sonic phenomenon! The gist of the melody in the tracks lies in its rhythm, bass, and dark sounds, with heavy use of spatial atmospherics, low-end frequencies and swing.

The title track “Marionette” is a heroic introductory melody with the syncopated patterns giving the beat movements and the heavy sub-bass giving the track warmth and depth. The tempo is high in EDM fashion which provides the potential for DJs to mix it with break-beat in their sets.

“A Greater Evil” is dark and hauntingly synthetic and the reliance on the synth harmonies, old radio vocals, and robotic bass is one of the most exciting elements as it gives it the freedom to move away from a set song structure and dependence on breaks and bass drops. This has been created for the dance floor and produced to be heard on a loud sound system.

“Proving Grounds” has ethnic melodies and is driven by its wobbling bass wall of sound complemented by the exotic sounds and the old-school atmosphere and texture that create a full and spacious mix. The softened dub reggae, reverb, and panoramic stereo add much-needed depth and space.

“Darkest Hours” is built around the trance synths with the trending hybrid trap sounds and the dominant low-frequency elements, namely the sub-bass and kick drum is laid perfectly on the lower end of the sonic spectrum, and the kick and sub-bass gel together impeccably.

“Redemption” the last track in the EP has those redeeming sonic qualities driven with the anthem vocal chants and snare drums that punch in. It is more expressive, and there is a lot of placements on the off-beat. The combination of hats and other percussion samples built up to design excellent beats.

The best thing about making such EDM and Dubstep tracks is the freedom allowed in these artistic styles – encourages a lot of people to try their hand at making it and what allows producer and genius Omen Ahead to excel is making the sound as natural as possible by throwing a bit of randomization in there to make sure the melodies sound as original as possible. “Marionette” is now available on all the major streaming platforms and listeners can get to enjoy all this splendorous extravagance by following the attached link and immersing themselves fully into Omen’s musical world!

Started out as a young prodigy and as early as 11 years, he was already writing rhymes, by the age of 14 he had recorded his first song; this is none other than Marcus Johnson who goes by the stage name Snow Tha Saint. Hailing from Bartow, Florida, he did not have it easy as he found himself spiraling into the dark on several occasions, even getting himself locked up in County Jail where he spent 180 days and while this was a very dark phase and period in his life he utilized the moments to perfection getting through his thoughts and meditating lyrically to fashion his music to the next level as soon as he was released. Everything happens for a reason and sometimes wishes come true, also especially gladly via many detours and though he did not wish his life to take those tragic turns, he utilized the moments to make something great out of an absolutely horrible situation. That in my book makes him an acclaimed legend and his never-to-say-die attitude is a very admirable quality that many can learn from.

At 27 years of age now, he is the master of his own fate and dares to dazzle, entertain and revamp your spirits with the EP “Now or Never” which is a high-energy Hip hop melodious groove that is lyrically rich and melodically terrific. The opening track “Heata’” is heated up with booming retrospect as it unfolds in sensual format with the dripping touch of the piano organ before all the other instruments take their place in the track being driven heavily by the deep-phased bass that haunts the mind like some necessary evils! The resounding drums and atmospheric synths make for an all-good rollicking fun.

My favorite track “Classic” which he featured LoudLoui is a speaker thumping heavy track that sits right with the melody, harmony, and rhythm benefitting from genuine ingenuity from an accomplished sound engineer. The way the two acts exchange and trade blow lyrically will have you on the edge of your seat in awe of such lyrical prowess. There is so much power and vitality in the whole of this 9-piece collection and fans of the old and new hip-hop alike will have a raucously great time with this EP. He is set to officially release it on Valentine’s Day and what a day to do it! As people will be showering others with love, all the hip-hop fans will be showered with something more, something to withstand time and something close to their hearts, body, and soul. Make sure to follow Snow Tha Saint for his tank of creative output has just been replenished it is about to go down in epic style!

He hit the ground running as early as 18 years old when he released his first-ever Mixtape titled “I can spit” which was even hosted by the popular Cleveland DJ, DJ EV. At that same age, he went ahead and shared the stage with A-listers such as; Young Jeezy, David Banner, Rocko and Bun B. Just like Kobe Bryant was the greatest on the court, SLym Beno is the greatest on the verses and having been influenced by artistic legendary performers such as Lil Wayne, Jay Z, LL Cool J, Biggie Smalls and Usher it’s no surprise that he has been able to produce certified smash and thumping songs that are powerful in as much as they are explicit. His latest project, “Thanks for Nothing” is a defiant and unapologetic masterpiece woven together by blendful and speaker-thumping and culturally disruptive tunes that have been made with potent precision bringing out their insightful themes amidst the sometimes lyrically strong vocality to inspire anyone listening that they are destined for greatness in spite of the naysayers and the jealous types who may try to write off others dream as if they were their own. This is an educative masterpiece delivered in its befitting unapologetic tone to remind everyone that they are always in control of their destinies no matter what.

The project is set to be released on 12/31/21 on all streaming platforms but to give us a taste of his inimitable and fiercely cataclysmic sensation that the project will be all about; he has released two thunderous tunes; “GR8T” and “Count Up” which are mainstream smashing hits that offer a unique perspective that only Slym Beno can deliver. The build-up to the strong and rhythmic tune, “Count Up” is immensely energetic with the consistent and elementary synthesized riffs of, ‘Count it up” summoning the alluring harmony and as Beno attacks the slapping explosive beats with his technical lyricism, unfettered technical wordplay, delivering heavy blows that remind every rival that he’s a force to be reckoned with heavily influential on this boom made track. “Money ain’t everything, but it feel important…cos when you broke only real ones will support you…” is just the icing on the cake on the educative lyricism on display. He says that he set out to do what they said he couldn’t. Such authentic audacity!

“GR8T” is intoxicating with the inundating alluring harmony created by the heavily percussive and shimmering piano organ and heavy bass elemental complex instrumentations exploding with majestic allure as Beno seamlessly performs with incredible mastery and lyrical prowess in the way he conveys his intricate free-styling ability like he was born with a mic on his hands. “Imma be GR8T today, imma go make a way…haters gon’ hate the same…but we don’t give a fuck today…” is a defiant theme that just indicates the confidence in his own ability to build a boundary-busting career in the rap genre and Hip hop sound. The emphasized catchy riffs of, “We don’t give a fuck today…imam be GRT8 today” breathes infectious life into the heavily percussive instrumentation laying a steady foundation with the strong automotive chorus.

This upcoming project is going to win over fans and critics alike and the two bold, textured singles from the project just confirm the inevitability that is the wild, untamable energy that will be the “Thanks for nothing” project. Brace yourself for this is going to break every record in its wake.

The Dark Crooner strikes hard and first and this time round he did not miss the target as he comes to us as a fortune teller with his melodic sign predicting what will happen in the future. This is a transcendental souvenir packaged in 6 tuneful and exceptionally entertaining, and equally educative melodies. Delivered in his signature powerful vocals,  and having the backing of virtuosic choir vocals and complemented by the mind-boggling blend of guitars, electric guitars, keyboard instruments such as the piano, harmonica, saxophone, bass and percussive drums to create a euphoric melody that is calibrated by a wide array of lyrical subjects from political, economic, societal and environmental lyrical content all delivered with his insightful and genuinely energetic and passionate performance is why you can never get enough of this stupendous EP “Auguries”. What you will witness by listening to this melodic explosion is the future of the human race all packaged in one simple and ingenious choral arrangement by a man who carries with himself the authenticity of experience and the swagger of an industrial titan.

“Mister Fear” is the powerful fear that haunted us ever since we were young, this incessant powerful fear that grows with us casting its humongous shadow on our daily lives- this melody gets off to a vocal narration with his powerful and commanding film voice, “Hello everybody, I am your best friend, whatever your age, I’m by your side, my name is Fear, Mister Fear! Let me tell you a story…” this is followed by a shimmering harmonic lead guitar that is blended perfectly with the piano and keyboard, bass, drums and the addition of saxophone at some point in this intoxicating tuneful melody advances it up to a full-scale orchestra. The backing choir singing with their virtuosic angelic vocals creates a symphony taking your whole body mind and soul to another realm.  “No No No” is a revolutionary evocative tune with a powerful political message against the powerful oppressors who think they can take everything away from us. It starts to a hypnotic start with the harmony emanating from the grand piano being echoed with an intensive and electric intensity by the electric piano in what can be described as a give and take tussle between the two sensationally blended and artistically played to perfection instruments. The powerful hooks and the choir’s timely influence on the verse-chorus, “I have the choice to rise up” produces a glamorous orchestral rhythmic presentation that is out of this world.

“Drink Their Tears” and ‘A Day After” has a very powerful message behind the influence of country and folk that pervades it with particularly the complex blend of piano, Fender Rhodes Electric Piano, the Bass guitar, drums backed by the harmonized vocals of the Dark Crooner and the choir that extends the artistic element of the tune; the message is that our own atrocities and intolerant behaviors will be the end of the human race, the endless fighting and war, hatred and our lack of learning from the past will be the end of us. Some of the insightful lyrics from the song “Drink Their Tears” include, “All our bombs, falling from the sky, They just come to help the children die, we are living, Quietly, so carefree…”

“Today’s The Day” and “Save The Bees” have been delivered with the same genuine passion and melodic mastery with a rallying call to the human race to save our planet before we lose it forever. It is an ingenious production that fuses educative lyricism backed by the careful balance of guitar, piano, bass, Fender Rhodes Electric Piano, Drums, virtuosic vocals and choir – all integrated to pure perfection with a powerful message behind it is what separates this song from your ordinary country and feel-good jams on your playlist. This one has been made with the vision of the future preceding it and shedding light for it to follow. It is safe to say that Fox Nigon has already seen the future and has played his heroic role in preparing it for us –we either change or perish!

Hailing from Broward County, Florida FDN JUSU the innovator of versatile music has surfed the quantum universe and emerged with your favorite emo music masterfully blended with a futuristic perspective. His latest EP “Into the Sunset” strikes a nerve with its smoothly blended melodies and immersive melancholy vibes. This inspirational and passionately expressive musical composition is a manifestation and speaking into fruition better days for him as well as for the listener. Sticking to his guns; his genuinely well-structured, uniquely interesting and refreshing songwriting offers lyrics that touch on heartbreak and fragmented feelings. “Dirty (Intro) featuring Amilivenow gets the listener off to a harmonic melody with the great set-up and structure with the guitar strings creating a light tone that is quickly recognizable with the commanding voices integrating with the perfect wonder of vocal unity to get you lost in the moment as you replay the tune again and again until the delicacy and harmony all feel familiar and exciting to anticipate. “Whatisitcostingya?” is a heartfelt and gripping melody that is backed by the heavy influence of piano and FDN’s vocals which are fairly understated and with a melancholy feel. His emotional lyricism will get you into an introspective mood and I for certain don’t think it will cost you anything to play this expressive impassioned blood-letting melody that is full of frankness and vulnerability on repeat.

“MIA 23” has a higher tempo compared with the others, with the synthesized drum machines and the rhythmic hip hop beats backed by the sampler and the great riffs adding to the cutting edge mystique of the bona fide smashing hit tune. His off-the-cuff voice resonates all over the song. “Drive Interlude” is as smooth as it gets with a fairly light tone and a harmonious beat backed by his unique and immediately recognizable voice that harmonizes with itself brilliantly with the bizarrely captivating raw background instrumental presentation. The result is something exquisitely authentic, lyrically fascinating and profoundly magical. The cover song “Into the sunset (Outro)” is an absorbing and addictive and impeccably well-placed break from lyricism as the background voice overs, the simple and memorable riffs integrating intriguingly with the shimmering and dominant piano instrumentals. This gives it an out-of-this-world, mystical type of vibe that is magnetic and will gravitate a listener to hang on and every emotion it evokes.

The artistic beauty in display from this EP is a huge testament to the groundbreaking design expertise that FDN JUSU has mastered throughout his career; his musical approach providing a sense of familiarity that heartbroken adolescents of the current generation can gravitate towards. He writes from personal experiences and has found strength in his pain and vulnerability and while the lyrical content of his EP “Into the Sunset” has centered on heartache and bitterness, his other artistic creations are versatile with occasionally more boastful lines and creative references. His resilience and never-give-up attitude and mortality in his creation is evidence of his ferocious hunger to build a long-lasting and boundary-busting career. Watch his space!
