The Montreal-Rwandan Producer and Songwriter NKUSI teams up with Funkywhat for their recent transcendent single, "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)." Striving to claim his place in the Montreal music scene, this single truly puts himself and Funkywhat on the map. In 2019, NKUSI was discovered after his debut EP, "Gutengiza," which led him to learn vast production tips and tricks from his close friend and Producer Jimmy Young. Bringing Funkywhat into the mix, he also adds soulful R&B into his warm creations, which lead us to the modern-day blend of Old School Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, and R&B with their recent single, "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)." The single surround incredible and brilliant production, offering slivers of the genres stated above yet amplifying them with modernity through the deftly-produced electronic elements that melt over the track with ease. Not to mention Kaya Hoax's intriguing vocal stylings that sing a heavily desirous and lustful story, we're genuinely mesmerized by the sweet serenity of this profound piece. "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)" begins with distant synths roaming in the background and the slightest of percussion patterns. Once the vast beat drops with help from a droning synth, a mid-tempo drum break, and a profound bassline, Kaya Hoax comes in to make the track all the more passionate and sensual. While giving us a taste of prime-time R&B with her desirous lyricism and impeccable vocal abilities, Kaya Hoax indeed added the needed depth and passion that the song required. Around halfway through, NKUSI and Funkywhat take the track a step deeper and emphasize the groaning basslines and twinkling background synths. We can't help but hear a fresh sound similar to Kaytranada or Channel Tres with this vibe of a single, as NKUSI, Funkywhat, and Kaya Hoax transport us into pure bliss. We're nothing but impressed with NKUSI and Funkywhat's mellow and transcendent single "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)," as the three brilliant creators have lifted our spirits and placed them in the warmth of tightly-wound and modern R&B. Hello Funkywhat and NKUSI and welcome to BuzzMusic. We're heavily intrigued by the likes of your serene single "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)." What inspired the creation of the song? Funkywhat and Kaya Hoax are good friends and had been wanting to collaborate for a while. We wanted a female feature for this song, so we thought maybe she’d be interested in working with the both of us on this track. She already had an idea for a melody prior to hearing the beat, and when she tried it on the track it was a perfect fit. She then finished writing the lyrics within a day and we recorded it in the same week or so. Why did you want Funkywhat to accompany you on the creation of your single "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)"? What was your sonic collaboration like? Funky and I have mutual friends. We met over social media, decided to link up for a studio session, and realized that we shared similar tastes and visions, both sonically and artistically. What started as jams and loose ideas ended up being "Fwnk". Speaking on the vibrant vocal feature from Kaya Hoax within "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)," did you or Funkywhat help write the lyrics, or did you leave that task up to Kaya Hoax herself? It was important for us to leave as much creative space as possible for our features. In that regard, Kaya wrote the lyrics herself. We genuinely love the sonic collaboration between NKUSI and Funkywhat within "Impulsesvsimposters (feat. Kaya Hoax)." Might you release any collaborations together in the future? Since the beginning of our collaboration, we've been in communication daily. Sending each other ideas and trying to make the most out of our latest releases. We both try to stay busy and create every day, plus the process leading to "Fwnk" was pretty smooth and enjoyable so yes definitely be on the lookout for more. What can listeners anticipate to hear from you in the new year? We are currently working on getting "Fwnk" on wax! So keep your eye open for more ways to connect and interact with our latest piece of work and many more goodies to come. NKUSI Instagram Funkwhat Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

Midnight Canyon emerged from an experimental, no expectations, strictly for fun quarantine collaboration between three well respected Chicago artists. With everyone's schedules wiped clean due to Covid-19, Danny Chaimson called good friend Packy Lundholm and acclaimed singer-songwriter Pat McKillen and scheduled a bunch of sessions to get together and jam. The brilliant thing about Midnight Canyon is their ability to blend the old with the new. Taking on trademarks of classic singer-songwriters and roots-infused artists, they make their mark by expertly fashioned arrangements, genuinely tasteful playing, and contemplative heartfelt lyrics. Their self-titled debut EP, “Midnight Canyon,” contains five live off the floor tracks that the band carefully curated. The likes of the project neatly display the broad canvas on which they illustrate melodically. They know how to blend country, rock, and Americana sounds but isn’t afraid of threading wider musical references through the core sound that they exude in this presentation. “Where the Ocean Starts,” is the introductory song that allows us to take flight on the sonic voyage that is “Midnight Canyon.” Dazzling us with a profound arrangement that is drizzled in heartfelt emotion, the lush ambiance of 60’s folk music meets modern-day Americana as Midnight Canyon wins us over one genuine note at a time. Telling a tale of chasing dreams amongst love and adaptation, the warm embrace of the lead vocals effortlessly flow in the intricately fashioned composition of the instrumentation, serenading us in the empowering yet delicate composition that is “Where the Ocean Starts.” “Angels & Devils,” blends traditional Country grooves with more contemporary Pop flavors that balance out this record in a recipe for success. The smooth execution the lead vocals gracefully emit, fit into the progression of this single as we are introduced to a diverse zest that Midnight Canyon has to offer listeners. “I’m tearing down the walls that kept me in,” stands out as the theme as the angel and devil on their shoulders trying to get the best of them. As they strive for greatness through their artistic versatility, you can’t help but to fall hard for each opulent guitar chord strummed as the accompanying tempo led by the drums and rhythm founded by the bass stream together in a victorious coalition. Swiftly radiating a glistening light as the tone of this record emits a slight pep, “On My Radio,” has us immersed in the works of indie sounds through acoustic roots music. The storytelling in this particular track tells us a tale of longing and despair as you can’t let that significant person go from your life. Everywhere you go, they’re with you as they haunt your memories deeply. Rising to the occasion, the luxurious guitar solo that sits with ease in the midst of this single carry intricate elements that sway from one side of the spectrum to the next as the luxe harmonies take us to the end of this wistful creation. Coming in fourth on the tracklist, we have “Don’t Leave Me in the Dark.” Instantly submerging us in saccharine harmonies that cascade in a progressive manner, we can’t help but to swoon over the arrangement put forth. With various components gloriously attacking you from all angles, you can’t help but to get lost in the music as each member makes it known that they mean business. Honing in on exquisite musical nods to a more nostalgic sound, Midnight Canyon captures a wandering similar sonic path to early Steely Dan in “Don’t Leave Me in the Dark.” As we reach the final record on “Midnight Canyon,” we soak in the intricate placement of each record for the full auditory expedition. “Piano in the Dark,” places the finishing touch on this masterpiece perfectly, like a pristine bow. Embodying a slow-burn, this moderately evolving mid-paced record fuels us as the modest portion of alt-country meets indie cool. Sitting in the glory of “Midnight Canyon,” the quintessence built up in the restraint of texturized power, finishes in an exultant well-rounded soundscape that the entire five-track EP has to offer. Midnight Canyon is deemed a group of traditionalists with their gaze set confidently on what's next to come. From the dynamism that they offer listeners, to all of their influences and inspirations that they carry forth in their creations, the future for Midnight Canyon is shining bright as ever. instagram.com/midnightcanyonband

With each romantic lyric, he delivers accompanied by the laidback instrumentals, it's safe to say that Derek Skelton is warming the hearts of listeners everywhere. Hello Derek and thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic. Where did the inspiration for your single, "Fall for You" come from? What pushed you to create such a passionate and heartfelt piece? The inspiration really came from the melody I had created on the guitar. I normally don’t start off with an idea of a type of song I want to write, I just let the song form itself from the feeling that the melody gives me. However, I think the concept of “Fall For You” is something that everybody can relate to and that’s what I wanted to portray in the song. Seeing as your single "Fall For You" was a co-write between you and Chris K Wommack, what was your songwriting process like when writing such passionate lyricism? I had originally come up with the basis for the song and had actually written it all the way through, but I wanted to make sure the song was as good as it could be lyrically so I hit up Chris and we made some tweaks to the song and made it what it is now. I like to get other perspectives when creating a song, it helps when I may have writer's block or just want some fresh ideas to make the song better. Within your "Fall For You," the instrumentals are incredibly serene and tender. How did you create your sonics to match the passion you've delivered through your lyrics? Thankfully I get the opportunity to work with some talented musicians who are able to take the basis of what I come up with on the guitar and transform it into what I may have envisioned or most times, something better. Having those guys to lean on and trust to take the song to another level is definitely a blessing. We've noticed that you managed to blow up on TikTok. How did this happen? Has the platform helped your fanbase grow? Well, I’ve always been a bit of a character and enjoy, not only singing but acting as well. If it involves putting on a performance, then I’m all about it. Thankfully people enjoy the videos where I can show some of those acting skills and my funny side, as well as my singing. It’s certainly grown my fanbase for sure. I get a lot of my followers from TikTok who will follow me on Instagram and search for my music, so I really try to stay active and grow my following in whatever way I can. What can listeners anticipate to hear next from you? They’ll get to hear something more upbeat and fun. It’ll be the first song that I’ve written so far that’s got a laid back, cruise with the windows down kind of feel. I currently live in Hawaii, so I pulled a lot of inspiration from being here on the island to create the next song I release. Instagram Twitter #BUZZMUSIC

Hailing from Norway, the one-woman show Rikke Normann is accompanied by American Soul Singer/Songwriter Adam Douglas for their optimistic and uplifting single, "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)." Rikke Normann has been making her away around as one of Norway's most in-demand vocalists and backup singers, touring with the likes of Bernhoft, Sivert Høyem, Madcon, (and more), while also being handpicked to sing with John Legend at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2017. Producing and writing all of her music herself, Rikke Normann is truly an artist to keep track of. Through her recent single, "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)," Rikke Normann brings a positive and forward-moving theme to the song regarding over-worrying and taking life one step at a time. Adam Douglas accompanies Rikke Normann and offers warm and ear-pleasing harmonies, making for a serene experience alongside the bluesy guitar work and mid-tempo drum patterns. "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)" begins with bright instrumentation through a warm and bluesy electric guitar, melodic keys, sweet bass licks, and mid-tempo drum patterns. As Rikke Normann makes her lovely vocal appearance, she begins singing her meaningful lyrics while reminding us that everything tends to work out in the end. As Adam Douglas enters the song and offers beautiful harmonies alongside Rikke Normann, we can't help but feel refreshed through their uplifting messages. Going into Adam Douglas' verse, his highly melodic vocals sweeten the song with his sugary stylings that naturally lift the listener out of their sorrows and into the song's bliss. The surrounding instrumentals end the song off with a warm sense of hope, allowing listeners to take away the themes that Rikke Normann and Adam Douglas deliver. We always appreciate an uplifting tune that reminds us to take it easy, especially with the sweet stylings of Rikke Normann and her latest single, "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)." Why did you want to create a single that reminds listeners to take a step back from their worries with, "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)?" Because people tend to worry alot about unnecessary things without being aware of it. I find, too much worrying takes away from general happiness, so I wrote it to remind both myself and others to try to only worry about the stuff that needs worrying. My nickname has always been «the great worrier» but after writing this song I worry fewer, I’m more aware. When asking Adam Douglas to collaborate with you for your single, "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)," did the two of you write your lyrics together? How did your songwriting process go? The song was written by me alone, but it always sounded like a duet in my head, so I thought Adam might have a fitting voice and male perspective on the topic. I asked, he said yes and the rest is history. When creating the instrumentals for your single, "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)," what sort of sound were you initially going for? What inspired the warm Blues approach that you delivered within the song? Before Corona, Adam and I got to test the song live a couple of times, when I was opening for him on tour, he played guitar on it as well then, and his bluesy soul approach fitted quite well as a contrast to the lyrics, making it a bit more light-hearted, so we decided to take it in that direction. I want the worriers of the world to get an uplifting experience when listening to it. How does "don't you worry (feat. Adam Douglas)" contrast the rest of your discography in terms of lyrical concepts? Do you usually write such positive and optimistic messages? When it comes to songwriting I follow my heart, I don’t really try for anything other than put in words what I am experiencing or observing in that moment of time or period. Some people say I have a love for talking about difficult feelings through my music, and if that is so, then I would say that no, I don’t usually write uplifting stuff. Haha What goals do you have with your music going into the new year, Rikke? My musical goals for the new year is to continue playing as much live as I can, preferably with my lovely band, so I can talk about important stuff through my music, show vulnerability and imperfections, which I’ve found helps people think and be aware of themselves and what’s going on inside them or in their life, (I like trying to help people). I’m releasing a new album in March, called “the art of letting go” and also recording a new one before that in January. Instagram Website #BUZZMUSIC

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, MC Zappa is steadily establishing his name as an emcee and producer. This founder of Too Much Phunk Records embraces his out of the box creativity as he is the originator of Bit-Hop, a unique genre fusing together the elements of 8-bit video game music and golden age Hip-hop. Honing in on his cherished creation, the development of Bit-Hop was heavily influenced by VGM composers such as Koji Kondo, Tim Follin, and Nobuo Uematsu. He also pooled together his influence from Golden Age Hip-hop artists such as Eric B, Rakim, N.W.A, Run-DMC, and Boogie Down Productions. Taking cues from the greats, MC Zappa is now dominating in the realm of Bit-Hop, taking over one record at a time. The title of this track says it all, “Magic (Sorcerous Phunk),” reigns in true musical funk in a magical way that sparkles upon the old school Hip-hop essence in a generation where the new wave of Hip-hop seems to be taking over. A refreshing sound of exclusivity has us fully engaged while anticipating each vinyl scratch and nostalgic sound effect fused together with the upbeat rhythm of the drums driving this record home. MC Zappa creates “lyrical gold” as he offers up a powerful delivery through his hard-hitting lyricism bringing out witty one-liners as he captures the beloved spirit of the genre of Hip-hop. Rapping about the enchanted unmatched energy that he brings to the table as a lyrical gift, MC Zappa’s expressions give us life as we ride the wave of his cadences all the way to the end of this record. “I steal the show like a hardened criminal. You’ll feel the flow ‘cuz the bars is lyrical,” sums up this larger than life persona that MC Zappa exudes as he has listeners gravitating toward his magnetism. This founder of Bit-Hop is going places as he continues to reign in fans from far and wide. In a world where originality is key, MC Zappa takes the cake for this creation. Welcome to BuzzMusic, MC Zappa, and congratulations on the release of “Magic (Sorcerous Phunk).” Such a genius idea as you fuse together two things that you’re passionate about! Could you please tell us about how you founded Bit-Hop? Thank you! I appreciate it. Well, to be honest, it wasn't so much of a sudden creation as it was a gradual process. I guess you could say it happened...bit by bit (sorry, I couldn't resist!) During the period of time nearly four years ago when I first got into producing and making music, I was enamored by the wide range of possibilities that sampling funk and soul records offered, but still, I wanted something more... A little bit of context---my childhood provided the perfect background for me to be who I am now. My mother loved arcade games like Pac-Man, so she and I would play classics like Pac-Man, Mappy, Pole Position, Galaga, etc. together. She also put me onto a lot of classic 80s and 90s hip hop joints, as well as the dancehall classics. And when I was a kid, maybe 8 or 9 years old, I used to have this cheap mp3 player that my parents had gotten me for my birthday. My mother helped me load it with classics from Michael Jackson and other great artists, but I absolutely LOVED video game music OSTs and would put music from games like Legend Of Zelda, Star Fox, Super Mario Bros., Super Smash Bros., Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, and others on my mp3 player. My family and peers used to joke that I listened to more video game music than I did "real music! Fast forward 7 or 8 years. I am now just starting to get into production. I like the funk and soul samples, but I want to do something different, something unique. My mind goes back to those earlier years of childhood and listening to those VGM OSTs. So I slowly start to gravitate towards sampling from 8bit video game OSTs. I combine these 8bit samples with crisp and dusty drum breaks, turntablism, and lyricism reminiscent of the classics from my childhood like Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, Run-DMC, etc. And the rest, as they say, is history! What was the creative process like when bringing “Magic (Sorcerous Phunk),” to life? Well, that's a rather interesting story, actually. I originally had the idea to do a song called "Magic (Sorcerous Phunk)" in early-mid 2018. Although I never had any lyrical content for the song until 2019, the song went through a few sonic iterations before I arrived at what you hear today. As of at least May 1st, 2018, I had an unfinished iteration of the instrumental that featured a scratched sample of Laurence Fishburne saying "prestidigitation" from the "movie Akeelah and the Bee" in the intro, a sassy triangle bassline, noise wave 8th notes, and a chopped drum break from Rick James' "Fire It Up". I originally wanted to have my homie Devil Los from Santa Monica do the cuts on that track, but I never finished that instrumental and therefore there was never anything for him to cut on top of. Less than two weeks after that, I briefly toyed with a version of the instrumental that used a drum break from "I Believe In Music" by the Kay-Gees. Obviously, this didn't work out, but in late September of 2018, I laid down some synth parts that I liked, plus I programmed a fresh new drum break, and I thought "wow, these are definitely keepers". The idea of the track languished for several months, but in mid-April of 2019, I randomly decided to lay down more synths, vocal samples, and cuts, and then I ended up just finishing the instrumental while I was adding stuff. It goes like that a lot for me, and I feel like that's the beauty of modern technology as it relates to music production. Right now I've got hundreds of licks, riffs, and half-finished beats in my computer, some of which have been there since 2017, that I just never have gotten around to fleshing out or finishing. But with the power of DAWs, memory, and hard drives, I can just lay down ideas real quick, and whenever I'm ready I can come back and build upon it. It might be a day later or it might be three and a half years later, but I'll eventually come back to it. So anyway, I'd finished the final instrumental in April of 2019, and not long after that, I created some cover art that, in retrospect, was nothing short of horrendous. Still didn't really have any lyrics at the time; my debut album "It's All A Game" had been released only two months before, so I wasn't all that much focused on writing or recording new material. But sometime between April 2019 and March 2020, I both wrote lyrics for the song and decided to add it to the tracklist of my upcoming sophomore LP "Legend Of Zappa" as a promotional single. And in mid-March of 2020, the song was completely recorded, vocals and all! What was the ambiance like when recording “Magic (Sorcerous Phunk)?" I'm not going to lie; it wasn't all punch and cookies. My name is Elyjah, but I'm going, to be frank, now---2018 and 2019 were simultaneously some of the most wonderful and most hellish years of my entire life. In that time, I faced assault, betrayal, harassment, grief over the loss of loved ones, and most traumatic of all, the SAT math section. As I said, it was a very harrowing period for me, but still, it was a period of great growth and development as well. And no matter what was going on, no matter how much stress, depression, and anxiety I felt, whenever I sat down at that keyboard or hopped in the booth, all of that melted and gave way to power and confidence. I remember the vocal recording session for "Magic" was really hype. It's an energetic, lively track, which naturally encouraged me to deliver a fitting vocal performance. And the tempo was much faster than my typical repertoire (120 BPM, to be exact), so flowing at that speed really brought the energy and fire out of me. That one definitely one of my favorite sessions. In terms of themes and messages, what would you like your listeners to take away from your music? Love yourself. Know yourself. Learn to nurture and call upon the God/Goddess within you. Don't give up on your goals and don't ever give up on yourself. But most importantly, f**k what society says. Don't let them tell you you're not cool because you don't gangbang, or you don't wear Gucci or Supreme, or you listen to "weird" music. Don't let them make you feel bad because you'd rather chill in the library than go to the mall. Your uniqueness is what makes you beautiful, not your conformity. What has been keeping you inspired to create music during 2020? What can we expect to see next from you? Well for one thing, after the lockdowns, there wasn't much else to do! But no, 2020 has definitely inspired me in a couple of ways. First of all, all this madness going on certainly gives me more than enough material. I could write an entire album about the events of this year alone! And secondly, I usually spend a lot of time on the Internet, but after the pandemic, I started to spend even more time on it, which led me to not only start working more closely with artists that I was already connected with, but it led me to start meeting and working with some talented artists from around the world---all without leaving my bedroom! I've been very inspired by some of my contemporaries who've been very diligent and have continued to work on their craft, pandemic or no pandemic. Artists like Ditcee Wisdumb and Drew Mantia inspired me to get back on my beat-making grind and to continue honing my bass/guitar skills, respectively. What to expect next from me? I'm glad you asked! My schedule for the next few years is absolutely jam-packed! For one thing, I will be releasing my sophomore LP "Legend Of Zappa" (which "Magic" is a single from) in 2021, most likely in either late Q3 or early Q4, and will have some very...interesting guest stars. I have another single from that album which will most likely release in Q2 of 2021. It addresses the epidemic of police brutality. In two weeks, for the third anniversary of my first single (and the world's first Bit-Hop single) "The Beast Named October", I will be releasing a never-heard-before alternate mix of the track. I also have a collaborative EP with my very talented friend Hakeem Shakur, which will be released sometime next year. Also, I'm working with a talented cat from Jamaica named Zenati---he'll be behind the boards and I'll be exclusively on the mic. I usually handle production, songwriting, and vocal duties, but it's good to switch things up every now and then. So yeah---there's a lot to look forward to! Instagram Twitter #BUZZMUSIC
