With musical influences from his earliest memories, he has found being inside a recording studio home.

This up-tempo track carries components that have you deep into your headspace while the beat feeds you sonic pleasure as you are embraced by the powerful progression being sent through your headphones. The title of the song says it all. This song is about the struggles of living a street life while working hard towards your aspirations.

The profound lyricism and aptitude to transport us to his own mindset are exceptional. Ju$ instantly paints the image for you. The burning passion achieved behind each word performed creates a sonic voyage in this piece titled “City of Hate.” Ju$ has a list of goals to accomplish and he is merely grazing the surface with all that he is destined to do. Listen to "City of Hate," here. With such a powerful message in "City of Hate," what is your reasoning behind making this the single off of your album? I wanted to show my diversity as an artist by being able to walk the fine line between commercial appeal and critical acclaim. Also, in my city and inner cities all over the world, there is a lot of violence and negativity stemming from poverty, so I wanted to highlight what happens on a daily basis from my experiences and also from my friends. What is the meaning of this song to you as an artist? When you're trying to come up in these hoods, it’s always something or somebody trying to bring you back down. Always keep that in the back of your mind when I make music I think of the long term effects I want my music to be listened to and analyzed for years to come also to inspire others. What was the studio session like when creating “City of Hate”? I actually wrote the songs awhile before I got into the studio this is a song I rewrote (Something I rarely do) because I didn’t even have a studio I could go to often like now (I’ll talk about that in another interview.) The session was cool though really smooth I did everything in about 2 takes it was recorded and mixed under an hour I don’t waste to much time in the studio I get in then get out. Could you take us into what your creative process looks like? Whenever I write I usually play the beat and go off the title of the beat if one is there from there the melody/flow comes almost instantly then the lyrics come as well I hear everything quickly it’s like a rush of an overflow of ideas cramping my head I quickly have to grab a pen to write them down I look at rap from a position of a conversation that rhymes with sometimes melody or harmony so it isn’t that bad hard coming up with stuff I tend to listen to a lot of music outside of rap for influence as well I look at my style is being a writer with lyrics than a rapper with bars if that makes sense. What has been keeping you inspired in 2020? What can we expect to see next from you? Everything I can get inspired from the smallest of things a conversation I might have had with somebody might influence a song or a phrase might start a song or it might be how I’m feeling at moment with a lot of things going on in the world it gives me opportunities to talk about a lot and reflect especially during this pandemic. Well, I just dropped a new single with two b-sides on all streaming platforms called Blame U Feat M.E.L expect another single this month called “Imagine” after that I’ll be getting ready to drop a couple of more songs with some people and videos then a new project sometime 2021 it’s a collaborative effort that’s all imma say on that for now. instagram.com/wp._jus

The LA-based Producer Crome delivers a wave of fresh Hip-Hop talent with a massive single titled, "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)." Constantly expanding the roster for his label Chrome Friends Music, Thomas Sahs is excited to announce the hot new features for his latest pieces. From the impressive stylings of 15-year-old Brooklyn-based stand out Lil' Dee to the Oxnard, California, indie artist Delamoe, the two have teamed up to deliver greatness within this piece. Crome's latest single "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)" brings listeners into a sound that's quite familiar yet also wildly authentic. From Thomas Sahs's New York inspired production, to elements of West Coast imagery allows the listener to take an unexpected journey across the country. Not to mention, Delamoe and Lil' Dee adding an incredibly old school and nostalgic flair, we love the grooves that this single offers. "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)" opens with quite the stimulating production switch up through spacious alternative instrumentals, quickly dropping into an old school Wu-Tang Clan inspired beat. As Lil Dee' begins riding the beat with an intoxicating Joey Bada$$ type flow, we're profoundly impressed with the deepened bars he's written for this lively tune. Crome's superb production rains down with plucky guitars, a gripping bassline, and raw mid-tempo drum patterns. As Delamoe begins rapping with this primal and intense tone that resembles Pusha T, he adds incredible depth through his flow that contrasts the playful verses from Lil' Dee. We're keeping our heads bopping alongside Thomas Sahs's latest single "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)," and we highly appreciate the constant search for hot and fresh artists to make waves across the modern Hip-Hop world. Listen to "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)," here. We're feeling the heat from your latest single, "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)." Could you explain why you felt that Delamoe and Lil Dee' were perfect features for a groovy track like this? I had been following Delamoe's project FRZN+CHZN for a minute.  They are a sick underground group from Oxnard that is about to blow up.  He agreed to do the track because he loved the beat.  The same went for Lil' Dee, he's a child hip hop prodigy.  At age 15, he's blowing up in Brooklyn.  Hip hop is in his blood. Could you take us through your creative process when crafting the production for "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)?" How did you manage to merge elements from the east and west coast? I made the beat at my studio in Hollywood.  One day I ran into Delamoe at a porn shoot.  He said he was still rapping, so I sent him the beat.  He wrote the hook and a couple of verses and then I sent it to Dee for a verse.  I added some scratches and that was it. Regarding Delamoe and Lil' Dee's feature on "Snitchin' (feat. Delamoe & Lil' Dee)," what was their songwriting process like? Were their verses written individually or collectively? They wrote them individually. We've seen many talented artists come across BuzzMusic that are linked to your label Chrome Friends Music. Could you give us an update on the label, and how you go about scouting new talent these days? I only put out my own music so they are all linked to me in one way or another. What has been keeping you inspired in 2020? Watching my son grow up and do new things has been really inspirational for me.  Plus, he really likes music so it's fun to have him in the studio with me.

Eclectic mastermind, 3ritain delivers a quintessential soundscape with his latest single, “Endlessly.” 3ritain, an otherworldly singer who incorporates multi-dimensional elements into his songwriting, targets the emotions of soul pouring adoration with his newest release. His writing attests to the fact that he is a master wordsmith and transports you on a sonic voyage through the progression of the song. As an artist establishing his name in the music industry, “Endlessly,” captures a cinematic sound that helps you dive deeper into the inner workings of 3ritain’s soul as a creative. “Endlessly,” is an auditory announcement for anyone looking for an earnest and empowering take on this ballad that reflects on heartbreak and the predicaments of modern love. Through the blissful utopia that 3ritain creates this song paints a picture of enduring, overcoming, and persevering in the face of obstacles throughout this thing we call life. “Endlessly,” meets the range of sentiments and real-life experiences we feel as human beings. The striking vocals that are displayed add a charismatic flair to 3ritain’s ability to blend genres while showcasing his talents as a defined lyricist.  Between the sensational vocalization, desirable chord progression, and rhythmic elements, you can’t help but effortlessly flow into the ambiance that is predetermined. With each emotion exuded through the passionate harmonies 3ritain lays out, every well-crafted lyric written reveals an earnest and poignant sound that carries an energy of healing, a cathartic sound that pours out like waves of ecstasy. 3ritain’s, “Endlessly,” acts as a sonic meditation on the complexities of love, romance, heartbreak, and deeper ruminations and existential reflections as he transports us to his galaxy of creativity. With such a heartfelt ode to the complexities of love in this life, how much of “Endlessly,” is based on real-life experience? I stopped writing fiction years ago. I found it hard to relate to the songs that I wrote from a place of imagination and I figured if I couldn’t relate to the music then the listener would share the same difficulty. Endlessly, as with all of my music, is based on my experiences in life and love. I wrote this song while with my Lover and although we have since parted ways I’ve learned that Love is eternal energy. It’s not something that just comes and goes, but rather comes and is transmuted based on the evolution of it. Love is the source of energy of the Universe and can not be diminished. It can not die. Life is a true journey of discovery and if you ever have the opportunity to experience Love then you have been blessed. This song is a snapshot of having to journey through life as a Black man in America while also juggling the waves of being a Creative, attempting to maintain love, accomplish goals and secure a life partner. “If I can make it through the red-blue lights, still have time to find love tonight...” What would you like listeners to take away from “Endlessly?" I always want the listener to take away whatever resonates with them. I feel like I am a mirror and when the listener experiences the song I want them to experience themselves as a whole. I’ve learned that even though circumstances Love remains. My goal is to always be as transparent as water. When you stand over clear water you can see your reflection. I pray you find yourself in my music the way that I did. Could you please take us into what the studio session looked like when creating, “Endlessly?" I still work as a Producer and Songwriter for other artists and this track wasn’t originally intended for me. I created the music for an artist who was working with Roc Nation. We were all staying in a mansion in D.C. working on their project and when I played the track the artist felt it wasn’t really for them and passed on the track. We ended up working on another track I made. I was happy with this decision because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the track that became Endlessly. The studio was set up in the theatre room of the house. Everyone eventually went to their rooms and went to sleep. I stayed awake. When I’m recording for myself it's generally just me in the room. I remember opening my laptop, setting up the mic, and as soon as the beat dropped with the guitars the first thing I said was “Man I’ve been my rights, still got time for a hell of a night”. The reality of police brutality and excessive force was on my mind as well as my desire for lasting love and memorable life experiences. The song took shape from there. This song and all of the rest of my songs were conceived at the mic in real-time. I press record and start singing whatever I’m feeling until I have a song. Endlessly took about 20/30mins. With each artist having a different creative process, what goes into yours? My creative process is all feel. I’m always putting words together in my head during my waking life. Playing with different lines, patterns, entrances, etc. I’m inspired by my environment and the past, present & future events of my life. As I’ve grown as a songwriter I’ve learned to have a conversation through song, so my songs have evolved into me just talking in rhyme and trying to clearly convey whatever topic I’m addressing. I play a lot of instruments so the music can start from anywhere. I may sit at the keys and play some chords or pick up the guitar and strum away. I may search for some folders for samples or loops as well. I know the stories I want to tell and the narrative of my character, so when I have something I feel musically the words just pour out. I started as a rapper and my ability to put rhymes together began there. Once I became more comfortable with my singing voice, I redirected my rhyming into melodies and it became what it is today. Once I’m finished with the top line, I’ll dress the song with selective harmonies, and then I’ll finish out the music production. Once the production is finished I engineer, mix and finalize it into a record. What has been keeping you inspired in 2020, and what can we expect to see from you next? 2020 has been a journey back to self. At some point, I lost the grasp on who I was and got caught in the whirlwind of survival. I live in Los Angeles and after the split from my Lover and being laid off from the labor job, I had to spend most of the quarantine sleeping in my car or crashing on couches. I recorded songs in my driver's seat and living rooms. The one thing that kept me inspired through it all was my future self. I knew I couldn’t let him down. I couldn’t let down my future fans. My legacy. This world needs healing and music is the best medicine, so I overdosed on my gift. I had vivid night dreams that felt more like premonitions and I knew I would make it through. But it had to start with me. No one else could get me to my destination. I flew through the turbulence and found myself on the other side of the clouds. As far as what to expect next, I can’t really say. I’ve learned the power of now and being in this moment. There is an album on the way, but until I release it I expect to grow daily and continue my personal ascension. So cheers to the future. Let’s discover it together. Instagram Website #BUZZMUSIC

The Atlanta-based Artist and Singer/Songwriter Sabiine is turning heads everywhere with her sweet and sultry single, "Hotline," off her recently released sophomore album, "Dragonfruit." Basking in her sound residing under Dark Pop, Dance, Alt-Folk, and Hot AC, Sabiine takes little elements of each to serve listeners a sweltering sound that's positively irresistible. Writing her own melodies and lyrics, Sabiine is the next artist to keep an eye on. Through her recent hit, "Hotline," Sabiine takes listeners on a heated and sultry ride through her playful lyricism, delivery, and the song's overall blazing production. Not to mention releasing a stimulating music video where one can experience the intoxicating performance Sabiine delivers while dressed to the nine's and captivating anyone in her presence. "Hotline" begins with vibrant and punchy synths while Sabiine's filtered vocals make their heated appearance and begin to paint the song's sultry atmosphere. Continuing to mesmerize listeners through her appetizing lyricism and poised delivery, Sabiine takes it one step further within the song's music video and delivers an inevitably arousing and sexual performance strapped in leather and chains. Moving back to the single itself, the production offers a similar heated and sensual atmosphere through airy drum breaks, dark synths, and haunting background effects. While Sabiine continues to wow us with her naturally intriguing and charming delivery, the song comes to an end, and we're left wanting more. Sabiine has stopped us dead in our tracks with her powerhouse single, "Hotline," as she's clearly marking her spot as an enigmatic Pop artist delivering more than expected. You've genuinely wowed us with the release of your heated and sensual single, "Hotline." What inspired you to write such a powerful song with the utmost charm and sex appeal? Well, first of all, thank you for the compliment, and thank you for your interest in "Hotline".  The video for "Hotline is definitely very sexy, but to me, the song is about relationships.  It's way more an "F-you" song than an "F-me" song if you know what I'm saying.  It's about a woman having enough and letting the other person know about it. With help from Producer Tyler Gunz on your recent album "Dragonfruit" featuring your single "Hotline," what did your creative process look like when formulating the sonics to offer this heightened sensation of lust and desire? I'm blushing from that question and it's hard to make me blush.  Probably not what you're expecting.  Tyler and I play around with different beats and sounds, sometimes in a very free-form way and we'll record those sessions to see what sticks.  "Hotline" came from one of those improvisational sessions.  We were a little stuck on one of the other songs on my EP "Water" and we just said hey, let's take a break and work on something else.  We put down a lot of beats and most of them ended in the trash, but the hook and the main melodies came from there.  After that, I needed to find lyrics and like most of my songs, I built the lyrics of an emotional experience I was having.  In this case, some feelings I was having about a fall out with a friend. Seeing as you've recently released your sophomore album "Dragonfruit," what does the single "Hotline" bring to the table regarding the album's theme and concept? "Hotline" is the anchor of the album in that I feel like it's accessible to a very wide audience.  It's got a dance beat that's sexy and grooves and I like to think the lyrics are pretty catchy.  It's a great introduction to me and my music.  I think probably the previous song of mine that it's most like is "Secrets" from the last EP.  Like all the songs on the Album "Hotline" was inspired by the emotions I feel and the relationships I'm in.  "Water", the first track of the album also has a dance floor foundation, but it's more open in the way it expresses my feelings about love.  "Still Miss You" is also a love song, but a totally different kind of one, about a love that's passed.  It's more of a song that you'd listen to on a Sunday morning than a Saturday night.  Finally "Laces You Tied" is a throwback chill pop song that's a little bit mysterious.  It's quiet, but it packs a punch. Now that you've released your sultry single, "Hotline" from your album "Dragonfruit," what should listeners anticipate from your forthcoming music? Should we expect more powerhouse singles that stimulate the listener's physical desire? I'll just say this, I don't write my songs to "stimulate the listener's physical desire" but sex is a normal, healthy, wonderful part of life.  If sexiness is something listeners get from my vibe, that's not a bad thing at all.  I think at the core of sexuality is authenticity, emotional availability, and the willingness to be a little vulnerable.  I most definitely intend to continue to write music that builds from those attributes. instagram.com/sabiin.e
