The Seattle-based hip-hop artist, songwriter, rapper, and producer Sidestreet teams up with rapper KingCo for their latest single and music video, "Pray." A four-year letter winner and three-time Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention in football at Washington state, Sidestreet also held a profound passion for music created during the offseason. Now showcasing his versatile r&b, hip-hop, and pop sound, Sidestreet is more than ready for the world to walk down his block. Introducing viewers to his lively and intense performances by way of his recent music video for "Pray," his audience can catch many professional and in-depth scenes of Sidestreet and featured artist KingCo. While rapping a conceptual message of praying for those who attempt to bring them down, both Sidestreet and KingCo offer an incredibly textured performance that's bound to shake the haters. Hitting play on the music video for "Pray," the video opens with many drone shots of Los Angeles and quick turns to the city's dark streets and alleys. While setting a haunting and mysterious tone to the video, Sidestreet makes his appearance wrapped in chains, then with sharp transitions to being locked in a fence cage while opening up about praying for those who pray on his downfall. As KingCo joins the party, his slightly higher-toned vocal delivery truly provides a brilliant contrast between both artists, which are seen in various well-shot scenes around Los Angeles. While both artists touch on a similar theme of rising above the hate, they make their way to the final scenes with the utmost power and resilience. Don't miss out on Sidestreet's latest music video for "Pray," now available to watch on YouTube. Hello Sidestreet and welcome to BuzzMusic. We're highly impressed with the well-shot and edited music video you've provided with "Pray." Why did you want the music video to offer this intense and almost mysterious vibe? The song itself has a suspenseful, sort of dreamy feel to it. Naturally, I wanted to enhance that feeling with the visuals while also properly conveying the message of the song. What drew you to the stylings of KingCo to feature on your single and music video for "Pray?" What was your collaborative experience like? I’ve known KingCo since we were kids. We grew up sort of acquaintances playing sports against each other, even into college. When I heard his 2020 EP ‘Kingco’ I was impressed with his sound and his versatility and knew I wanted to work with him on something. I had been working on “Pray” and felt like it was something he would snap-on, and he did. We work really well together and actually have quite a few songs stacked up now. We may even collab on a whole album... Definitely more to come from us together. Out of all the professionally-shot scenes within the music video for "Pray," did you have a specific concept or idea that you wanted to get across? The main message of the song and video is about trusting your own timing and process when starting something new. The lyrics describe how everyone has advice and thinks they know what is best for you when you start a new endeavor, and how ironically a lot of the same people turn around and doubt you or tear you down once you start. At the same time, you might be battling your own doubts and other restraining thoughts that keep you caged or stuck in chains mentally. So for the video, we wanted to demonstrate that breaking out of the chains and escaping the mental cage to chase what you feel called to. I really like how it turned out. Did you work with any directors, editors, or videographers that helped bring your visions to life for "Pray?" My sister is a very talented video producer/director. The first time I showed her the song, she pretty much instantly got an idea for a video concept and she sent me a treatment the next day. Her idea fits right along with what I had envisioned and fits the song perfectly. We made some slight adjustments to the concept along the way but we were still able to achieve the vibe we wanted. We also had two talented videographers, Chase Premone and Miles Fowler, do the filming and editing for the video, in addition to some directing. What would you like new listeners to know about the music you create? With exception to an occasional loop from a friend who plays an instrument better than I can, or any artist features on my projects, I do everything myself. Produce, write, record, arrange, mix, master, etc. I love the process of creating something from scratch, and I take pride in being a one-stop shop. I don’t consider myself an expert at any of those things, but it’s a dope feeling when people appreciate something that you brought to life yourself. Thank you for listening to my art. Instagram

The likes of Bo Lavish are bound to leave any listener feeling captivated and exhilarated through his high-energy performances and meaningful bars. Unfortunately, Bo Lavish lost his mother in 2018, which led him to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with a few felony charges.

When we're looking for powerful and dominant hip-hop, "Got It On Me" does just the trick. What inspired you to create such a dominant and high-energy track like this? Really just the energy from the beat and me just wanting to step outside what I normally create. I'm originally from Chicago where drill music originated, however, I grew up in Riverdale, GA (southside of Metro Atlanta). I wanted to come up with something catchy, repetitive, and uncommon for the Atlanta scene. Who created the fiery production for "Got It On Me?" Did you have any artistic influences in mind when formulating the sound and vibe of the production? The beat was made by Tejai Moore, R&B/Pop Singer-songwriter, producer, engineer, and CEO of Moore Muzik, and the song was also co-produced by Tejai as well. The video was shot by Prime, owner of Pics by Prime. We love the party-vibe of your music video for "Got It On Me." What was the shooting process like? What sort of scene did you want to capture through the music video? Definitely appreciate that! The process was actually very fun. The team and I planned it out months in advance. We partnered with Prime to come up with the treatment for the video, found a space to shoot it, and from there it was a movie. My vision for the video was something fun with the water guns and kind of like a mini film as you can see at the beginning of the video. Do you normally create such powerful and high-energy songs like "Got It On Me?," Or would you say that your sound is rather explorative and based on your current moods and surroundings? I would say normally my music is created around my mood and surroundings. Sometimes, I challenge myself to create something different than I would normally create. What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist you admire? My favorite release of 2021 from an indie artist would be "Ready" by Jleel. BoLavishHeat.com

JARETT made big waves with his recent song release, titled "Mermaid". His vision was to fuse together the best of the Electronic and Hip/Hop music scenes. The product ended up encompassing many fun elements, and "Mermaid" proved to be the perfect hit summer single. With a major focus put into the soundscape of the song, JARETT ensured that the melody of "Mermaid" gave off high-energy, feel-good vibes. "Mermaid" had instrumentals that gave off that Caribbean-inspired theme, embodying many vivid and full-of-life melodies. JARETT's recent trip to Barbados in 2019 inspired the ultimate rhythm of "Mermaid", but the content was constructed based on the exquisiteness and adventurous stylings of the mythological creature. Aside from his recent release, JARETT has great energy himself as an artist, and his mission is ultimately "to perform at beaches all over the world and bring that same warm, positive, uplifting energy to whoever wants/needs it". "Mermaid" is available now on streaming platforms. Check out more about the song, as well as our exclusive interview with JARETT here. Instagram

Cassa is a popular singer, songwriter, and dancer hailing from Rwanda. He is known for opening a path to a whole new generation of Rwandese artists and enabling a new sound to emerge on the East African music scene. Now based in Toronto, Canada, he has quickly gained a following in the Afrobeats and Afro Caribbean scene with his spectacular stage performances alongside a seven-piece band and unique sense of fashion. Delivering his most recent single in a manner that has us swooning over Cassa’s luscious timbres, “Back to Life” brings forth an ultra-smooth exhibition of the skill set that he has locked into his musical repertoire. Through the brilliant execution of background vocal harmonies propelling a needed sense of desire and passion, the undeniable croons of Cassa depict where his heart lies. Indulging listeners in a consistent flow of overflowing effervescence, the beauty that is etched into his lyrical motifs has us awestruck with words like, ‘yeah, you bring me back to life,’ laced into the repetition factor. Admiring the sweet sounds of the instrumentation taking on a jazz-infused twist through a Caribbean-inspired foundation, the structure of the musical elements allows the vocal performance of Cassa to resonate on a spectrum that thrives off of focus and intimacy. Making his mark on the Canadian music scene, it’s refreshing to hear such an unalloyed virtuoso grace your speakers for an all-out immersive experience of bliss. Reiterating poignant themes that have us hanging onto the edge of our seats, Cassa is a force to be reckoned with as he continues to make waves with the original creations and atmospheric realms he casts out. Welcome to BuzzMusic Cassa, and congratulations on the beautiful sounds of “Back to Life.” With a record that holds such an intimate theme, how did it feel dipping into the creative process to bring this vision to life? Thank you so much. It was really a team/community effort, my friend Lewolf produced the beat, and I instantly felt the lyrics coming to me like the music was whispering the words in my ears, next my friend Stuart Brignell arranged the horn parts and played the sax solo too, the rest of the horn section was picked up by my friends Joseph Callender and Nic Weaver, my buddy Shane Free played the guitars and each one of these people are musical geniuses that I admire so much, but also really care for as close friends. So it was really a labor of love in the middle of a pandemic, and the results made us all proud. Compared to previously released songs in your music catalog, how does “Back to Life,” hold up in terms of the messaging and resonance that you send out? I am a storyteller kinda songwriter, my writing style and artistry always evolve with each song I release, and back to life being my latest single, it is really a reflection of where I am as an ever-growing artist. The messaging being of love, gratitude, and appreciation is consistent with my brand, the music, however, was definitely a step up, just because of all the talents that took part in making it what it is, and giving me the blueprint of what my sound would be going forward. Being a natural-born performer, how do you compare your artistic process of recording and performing? My recording and performing processes are pretty different. I am really an old school type of artist, I was mentored by old-school musicians that taught me that there's is a work and not so fun side of music, and that is the recording process, because this is a time I really immerse myself in the song, and literally stop at nothing to make sure every word, every note, every harmony is just perfect, and that can mean re-recording everything multiple times, as many times as it takes to achieve perfection. And then there's the fun side of it all, and that's the stage! This is where I really go wild and make my audience really pick on my energy as I pick on theirs, and I hold nothing back letting my personality express itself. How do you allow your musical and non-musical influences to speak into the music that you create? It's really a healthy balance of both. I like to write relatable stories, so it is heavily Influenced by just everyday life. And being an artist that is mostly surrounded by a community of artists I admire, my musical and nonmusical influences are kinda intertwined and one begins where the other ends and vice versa. What's next for you? I am working on a six-song EP, due to be released by the end of summer, just fine-tuning a thing or two and it should be released within the next couple of months. I am currently working on my next single from the EP, and plotting the visuals with my artistic director Mustbefaby, and it is just the right/perfect follow-up to back to life.

Get down with Lone Wild's latest groovy and catchy single, "Locktup," now available to bump on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Lone Wild. What a powerful and intoxicating listening experience you've provided with your latest single, "Locktup." When did you begin creating this quarantine anthem? Ashkan: haha, thanks. By the time we started to write this one, we had already started to write new music for the next batch of songs. I think it was maybe a week or two into the lockdown, March 2020...Anyways, I was getting tired of being inside and needed some fresh air, spring was in the air, so I threw on my running shoes and decided to go hit a run. I was probably not even 2 minutes from my place when the chorus melody idea kinda ran through my head. So, as I usually do, I stopped, pulled out my phone recorded the melody as a voice memo, and kept going with my run — slowly tweaking it. Got home, walked into the home studio, recorded the chorus melody to a basic drum beat, and then worked backward from there with the instrumentation. Eventually, when it made the cut for us to record it, I sent the track to the guys so they could start to put their sauce all over it! A lot of the music came quick, but some other pieces took a little more time over the span of quarantine. Kinda wanted it to marinate over the course of everything going on ya know? Your inspiration for "Locktup" goes without saying. Why did your band feel the need to create a song that pays tribute to your time in quarantine? Ashkan: I mean, for me I’m kinda always writing something, and I think that it’s just sort of inevitable to write about what’s going on around you. I guess you could say it’s a tribute but I was kinda trying to make lemons out of lemonade and create something that sorta helped put the whole quarantine period behind me, or at least find something positive. Also, It was sort of a way to just lighten my mood around the whole pandemic and keep my mental health in a good place — a way to throw away all the negative and thoughts in the trash...It was getting to be too easy to get hung up on everything happening, and that can just be heavy. Why did you choose to create the instrumentation for "Locktup" to be so groovy and funky, seeing that the song is about the dreaded quarantine? Aaron: As a drummer, my biggest musical influences have mostly been funk classics (Earth Wind & Fire, Kool, and the Gang, Bill Withers, etc.) I just love a consistent pocket groove with some aux percussion added, so we threw some bongos in there to funk it up a little bit, and that combined with the bass groove just made it the grooviest tune I think we’ve put together so far. Nothing like some good funk to get you out of a funk, right? Ashkan: I just wanted to put some damn bongos in a song! I heard a “behind the song” podcast on another song, and I remember them talking about taking a sample of another song with a similar type of beat. So, I totally thought, “oh that could be cool.” Found a similar bongo groove to throw in with the drumbeat, which Aaron eventually re-recorded in the studio. Does your band usually create such rhythmic and anthemic singles like "Locktup?" Should we expect this infectious sound in your future music? Aaron: think we have a good mix of super groove-centric tracks like “Locktup” and some bigger rock anthems in this new batch of music. But yeah, we’re pretty pumped about our next single, too. It’s filthy. Ashkan: Oh for sure, we had a ton of fun writing these dancey/infectious ones, but also some ones that are more vulnerable, which in my opinion I think is some of our best work as a band. Kinda added a “range” to what we can do. What's next for you? Aaron: We’re stoked to get back on the road and play some live shows again. No solid dates yet, but it’s in the works. Be on the lookout for new tracks being released, too. We’re super proud of what we’ve made and we’re excited to get out there and play them for everyone. Instagram Facebook

We're getting down and dirty with the overall vibe and high-energy atmosphere you've delivered within your recent single, "Shake It." What inspired you to release such an anthemic club banger like this? I wrote this “Shake It” during the midst of the pandemic, so ideally I was making this song to try and escape the outside world and to remember what it was like to be outside dancing and having fun with your friends. I wanted to create a song that would go well in the clubs, parties, events, etc because it's just a feel-good song, when you hear the beat or lyrics you can’t help but dance. I made “Shake It” back in 2020 but I held off on releasing it for an entire year because I was waiting for the outside world to open up and for summer so that listeners could truly feel and envision what the song represented and the real meaning behind it. What drew you to collaborate with rapper FrenchieBabyy on your latest single, "Shake It?" What was your collaborative experience like with him? When I was writing “Shake It” I had a really great feeling about the song, I think the hype and potential had really made me want to look for a special feature to truly bring this song to life. I had been great friends with Frenchiebabyy and I immediately thought “his bay area hype and bone-breaking would be perfect for this upbeat song.” I reached out to him and he also loved the concept, so he came through to Recordbook studios and we got it done! He has always been such a positive, hard-working person and I couldn’t have thought of a better person to collaborate with on this song, so thank you Frenchie for trusting in me. I also would like to give a huge thank you to Notch P who produced this track, he put his all into creating this track for us, and he has done an incredible job! How did you want your audience to feel after listening to "Shake It?" What sort of feelings or sensations did you want to offer through this song? There were two concepts behind the song “Shake It.” When I was writing this song at home I was picturing myself in a club dancing with my girls and letting our hair down for a fun girls' night out. I wanted people to feel like they had no worries in the world and just for those few minutes, they could focus on letting go and being in the present moment. The second concept I had was sort of a love story; it takes place in the nightclub where I met someone special for the first time and the story takes listeners through both of us wanting each other, all the while, still having fun and enjoying the time and place. These concepts are how I created the song in my mind, however, others are welcome to feel or interpret the song in whatever way they would like! My biggest hope for this song was to make people smile, dance, and feel good either with themselves or with friends. Seeing that your previous songs offer this soothing and midtempo feel, does "Shake It" marks a new chapter for your future music? Might you delve deeper into creating more high-energy and stimulating tracks like this? I really enjoy making upbeat songs, I think it is a genre I would like to dig deeper into. When I made the song “I’m Single” I had so much great feedback, and people loved being able to move and dance to it, so that is what also inspired me to go back and write something people could have fun too. I have received nothing but great feedback for “Shake It”, so I am looking forward to giving my listeners more to shake to! What's next for you? I have about thirteen unreleased tracks that I would like to release as an EP, so I think what is next for me is releasing this EP! I am excited for people to hear the new sounds and inspirations that I have developed during my artistic journey. Instagram Artist Website

As an emerging, youthful artist, what type of perspective do you have on the music industry in place today? Where do you believe your sound fits into that? I always find it hard to put my sound into a “box”. I’ve heard different people describe my music in different ways based on the musical interests of that specific person.
