We’re loving this different approach you took with a sincere balled through your single “In Love”. What made you take this passionate direction, and portray such vulnerable and heartfelt lyricism? Deep down inside we all want love. We all want to be in love and to feel that we are loved back in that way. It’s human nature. The lyrics are so personal because I wrote the song as a way to express myself to my love. I am married and I am also an artist so it is very hard to find balance in a lot of ways. I wanted to express my feelings deeply and also being very direct with what I feel. This was my chance to be vulnerable, open up myself and my heart. I play tough as nails but deep down I’m a big ol softy Within your single “In Love”, Derrick Cobb sings incredibly passionately and displays love at its finest. Did you happen to face any difficulties when writing this song, and finding unique lyrics that suit your emotions? There were so many difficulties that I was facing while writing this song. There were times when I was reading the lyrics and a tear would drip down my face. I never realized how much love meant to me until you start to see it or in this case to see the words on the paper. To be honest, my love was doubting my love for him, so the songs is my plea. My plea that I am in love and it actually stands strong in it. This song was a test a big test and I am so happy that I decided to move forward with it. We’ve heard that Derrick Cobb has an upcoming full-length LP in the works. How does “In Love” tie in with the LP, and why did you choose “In Love” to lead the way? Yes, I do, the secret is out lol but yes, the LP is set and will get finalized later this summer. The album is entitled One-Nineteen and “In Love” ties in with the entire theme of the album. This album showcases the high and low of love for an artist. What we go through, how we feel, how others in our lives perceive us when it comes to our personal lives. One-Nineteen is also my marriage date and the date that I got my first indie deal. Speaking on Derrick Cobb’s discography, your track “In Love” really brings a different aspect to your sound. Could we potentially see more diversity like this within your upcoming music? Oh For sure for sure. As an artist, It is my belief that you must grow. You only grow by exploring different sounds and also making sure that you still stay true to who you are. We have some Acoustic sounds on the album and there is even a reggae record in the works. My thing is we are in a creative climate where anything goes so why not you know? I am learning so much and I really want to display that. What can we expect to see next from you? Well after all of this madness is over, I am for sure headed back in the studio to put the final touches on my project. After that, I will be back on stage and preparing to tour at the top of 2021. Then Imma head home to NYC and reconnect with all of my peoples over there. I also snagged an acting role in short film so in the meantime I will be preparing for that. instagram.com/d_cobb #BUZZMUSIC

This Prince Amine album is a transformation. Throughout the past, he has transmuted from confessional youth to glittering maestro on vocals, and now he feels like the RnB practicing bard we all hunger for. On his tremendous third album, 'Doubted Child,' Amine rises with all new forms. Conducted once again by the precise work of a production curtesy of Pierre-Luc Cérat and an expert troupe of others, Amine glides between heavenly resonances and bouncy dissonance. His most substantial work to date is a multidimensional, snow-globe realm that is cinematic in its importance and intimate in its retrospective nature. 'Doubted Child' feels more grounded than his previous catalogs, both in the soil and in the flesh. As felt on "Elliente", there are speedy rhythmic flows and twinkling arrangements with instrumental passages, but Prince Amine's music also introduces harmony, grumbling sub-bass, and sometimes an electric guitar. The impact is lounge-worthy and dynamic, made all the more cunning by his spirited vocal chain. On other Long Plays, his voice penetrated the atmosphere with clear-cut notes or an exposed treble. Those methods persist, but he also dives in on the more emotional conveyances of his past, heightening the extended play's texture with layers of sensualism and fortitude. "Bigup Yourself" unites these two strategies magnificently. Amines' voice is at a higher register and saturated, backlit by rays of twinkling keys. Halfway through, the momentum takes a break, and almost unintelligible whispers besiege the song for a moment. Contrarily, "Shameless" and "Granted" are the album's most current arrangements. The former float on staccato guitar strums, distant cross sticks, and rushes of musical proficiency, a blend that somehow bares reminiscence to a calypso rhythm. "Shameless," the album's luscious and sweet centered filling, bounces and feels pliant with a reminiscing guitar line with defining characteristics as bright as sunshine. Amine's vocal riffs roll and slide amiss a seasoned snare, evoking a vibe that speaks to a more laid back side on this track. "Granted" chronicles those taking Amine's love for granted, as he laments, "Almost coped that damn ring, but since the money ain't a thing, things just ain't the same." In "Things Change," he endeavours to evoke that same mind frame. "So why you playing games? I know things change... I'm just living in a fast lane", he sings, "but why, didn't have to lie, this is goodbye." He never quits and completely grasps hold of us as he conducts this journey through dissolving stories evolving as quickly as his character does throughout the album. When Prince Amine delivers his own world to the forefront, confronted with emotional realities, his spirits pause to introduce a darker silhouette. On an earlier single, "Codeine Tears," his voice seems to be refrained as if below a layer of permafrost. A rounded, full bass and twanging acoustic guitars lend a folky-vibe, and here Amine's rugged conjunction of a song enhances the playthrough journey. His vocals, supported by a female harmonization weave together in the mix as he illustrates his demons, "Codeine Tears, got the devil knocking on my door," he sings, "heaven ain't close for sure." It's a heavier song, hinting at his lifelong contest with proving himself, and a gesture toward self-reflection at its finest. When Prince Amine confesses that there are demons at his door, it feels like an assuring reminder of where he is now. "Doubted Child" is both explicit and bound with emotion. The songs develop and contrast each other at the same time. One minute bursting with the energy of a pop hit, the next honing in on his soulful RnB side with curative detail as he describes the challenges of his upbringing. He rues over his past in a sensual haze, then juices us into a cup of tantalizing upbeat singles. On their own, these panoramics into the world of Prince Amine are robust; and in practice, they are grand, authentic, and tangible for all audiences, marking a real virtue for this young Montreal Artist.

Hailing from Edmonton Alberta, artist/rapper Miracle drops his versatile and modern EP '1998'. Always one to go the extra mile, Miracle has worked countless days to deliver skilled entertainment with integrity. Truly getting a glimpse of who Miracle is through his latest bop of an EP '1998'. Opening the project with the intro track "Trendsetter," we're already captivated by the modern and deep hip-hop beat. Once Miracle makes his way in, his flow takes from the greats of hip-hop and delivers with nothing but talent and confidence. He raps on moving towards his goals with authority while ignoring those who seem to cling to his success. Brining in vibes and bar, Miracle's low octave vocals bring in that serious tone to the track while ending it off with poise. Miracle's flow is at a high during the second track, "Look at Me," as he wastes no time to wait around and jumps into this track hard and fast. Again standing strong with confidence, Miracle goes in on his haters and effortlessly lets them know that he isn't fazed and never will be. It helped Miracle create music of his own that hovers over the wannabe's and shows them how unbothered Miracle really is. The hip-hop/trap beat maintains low and steady all throughout the track, highlighting Miracles' dominance in the rap game. The incredibly produced third track "Gifted" opens up with a different kind of trap beat, through cultural flutes and chiming effects. Again rounding out the track to be extremely modern, the production is so well-thought-out by incorporating these head-bopping kicks that grip on to our ears and hang on tightly. Miracle brings in very conceptual bars by rapping about how the voices in his head tell him to give up and do something more realistic. Yet, he channels that infectious confidence and reassures himself that his music is leading him down the path meant for Miracle. So far, throughout Miracle's EP, we're blown away by the precise and detailed production that truly adds range to the project. Especially with the next track "Ape Shit," we're met with an incredibly modern, danceable, and deep running beat. Miracle adds in his bars and raps playful lyricism towards his natural charm on women. It's normal for Miracle to receive this attention as his talent naturally gravitates people. The track screams confidence and Miracle's journey to receiving this attention, while also letting us take a walk in his shoes. Another deftly produced track takes the stage with "Smoke," being the last original track on the "1998" EP. The beat rains down with power through those striking kicks, snares, and even added melodic keyboard overtop. Miracle blasts into the song with his bars surrounding more of a serious and angry tone towards people who talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Especially people who ask a lot of Miracle, he explains that he won't get involved if he doesn't have to, and to trust him when he says you don't want him to get involved. Reaching the end of the '1998' EP, we're met with the final track being "Gifted (Radio Edit)." The same as the third track "Gifted," yet suitable for radio airplay through a lack of cursing. Getting his message across just as effectively as the original track, Miracle allows a variety of audiences to get down to his strong beats and thorough messages. The entire EP "1998" plays out as an incredibly deep-running piece with talented production and even more gifted bars from Miracle, it'd be a shame to miss out on the experience that the EP has to offer. Check out '1998' here. Hey Miracle, welcome to BuzzMusic! Your latest fiery EP '1998' brings us right into the mind of Miracle, as you express many concepts throughout the project. Did you have anything that acted as the EP’s main inspiration? Or did you take each track differently? Thank you for having me. I would say that the love I have for hip-hop legends such as Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Drake are the biggest influences when it comes to writing the way I do. Regardless of what direction I go in, musically, I always listen to them and more legends for motivation. Within the entire EP '1998', Miracle raps overtop these groundbreaking beats that highlight pure and talented hip-hop production. Did you produce these tracks yourself? If not, what was your collaborative process like when narrowing down each vibe for each song? I was fortunate enough to come across such talented producers. When I first heard the instrumental for Trendsetter and Ape Sh** It gave me a party/club feel so I worked towards making them as catchy as possible. Hearing the instrumental for "Look at Me" I just knew that I had to pop off lyrically and with such speed while keeping up with the hip hop music we hear today. I couldn’t get myself to go a different route no matter how hard I tried, haha. Gifted was mostly freestyled so the vibe was made on spot! Lastly, "Smoke". I was telling a story between myself and people that didn’t respect me. I wanted to make a statement. I actually wrote this song a long time ago but never released it because I did not feel that it was good enough until I showed it to my closest friend who is like a sister to me convinced me to release the song after telling me that it was her favourite. I made sure to never doubt myself again after that! Seeing as your EP “1998” is your first multi-track project to be released, Miracle really brings in an experienced sound. How did you want listeners to perceive the project, and what sort of first impression did you want to make with your audience? I wanted the audience to see me as an artist that is very versatile with an expansive style that can showcase different flows on any beat while being authentic. Speaking of the entire EP “1998”, there are a few tracks that stand out to us through Miracle’s deep concepts and ability to ride the beat. Does Miracle have a personal favourite track on the EP? Why do you think it stands out for you? Personally, "Gifted" is my favourite because I was very impressed with how fast I wrote and recorded it. The lyrics were pretty much freestyled. It took me a day to finish everything whereas all the other songs took me days to weeks. I was really in the zone working on that song, writers block was non-existent for me. What's next for you? Currently working towards upgrading my studio gear, but due to the pandemic, the items will take longer to be shipped so in the meantime I am always looking to improve my craft by reading, freestyling, listening to new and old music and more. instagram.com/callmemiracle_ #BUZZMUSIC

Maywood Westside, Chicago, rapper/MC Philosopha releases his dominating single "Buck." Blending his best aspects into his music to provide lyrics full of wit, charisma, and fun, Philosopha shares his inner monologue with each track he creates. Knowing the culture like the back of his hand, he expresses his timeless thoughts towards a modern-day society. Through his recent single "Buck," Philosopha tells a detailed story within a short time span of two minutes. Rapping with incredible poise and clear flow, we're able to grasp every single lyric that Philosopha delivers overtop a mid-tempo hip-hop beat with heavenly ghost vocals and textured percussion. Beginning with high-pitched female ghost vocals that pour emotion into "Buck," Philosopha begins rapping with pure-hearted emotions through bars that highlight his tedious journey and how he's worked incredibly hard to get where he is now. Rather than whining for not having something, Philosopha goes off and gets it on his own. Paying no mind to the negativity he encounters, "Buck" surrounds an honest storyline emphasizing the importance of putting in work to receive the best outcome. The beat remains solid and reliable through providing a composed atmosphere, allowing Philosopha's bars to stand with authority. "Buck" definitely isn't the last we've seen of Philosopha, as we're very excited to see what the industry's hidden weapon has to offer. Be sure to listen to "Buck" here. Hey Philosopha, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re loving the honest approach you’ve taken with your recent single “Buck”. What was the running theme you wanted to provide, and want listeners to take away? When it came to my song Buck I was going through a lot and just lost my mom six months ago. I wanted to just give the people something real raw and uncut, keeping itor a buck. I wanted the fans to be able to feel and relate if they have been through anything real which we all have in some way. Within your recent single “Buck”, Philosopha touches on your journey as an artist and in life overall. What inspired you to create a song surrounding these genuine aspects of your time-consuming process? I kind of coupled number 1 and 2 but just going through these changing times inspirées me to lay it all out there on the table without chorus/hook just straight bars. Coming in hot from Chicago, one fo the most diverse music scenes in North America and a known home for hip-hop, how has living in Chicago impacted your sound and how you present yourself? I believe living in Chicago provides me with a diverse outlook on life. It’s rough here in Chicago and everyone knows that, but it’s also a part of what makes our city so great, so diverse, and so colorful filled with multi talented children, teens, and adults. With the quote from Philosopha “The culture is what I know, the culture is what I love”, could you elaborate on what you meant by this, and how you incorporate aspects of the culture into your music? The culture is what I know, I know the people, society, basking myself in the heartbeat of life we have dancers, singers, painters, musicians, athletes, etc. This defines Philosopha, a man of the people. What's can we expect to see next from you? I have new music on the way and believe tons of it. Right now I want the ppl to enjoy buck as it is really gaining steam and it will better prepare my audience for all the exciting new music, videos, interviews, and hopefully shows after this pandemic lol. Wash your hands everybody. #BUZZMUSIC

Keeping any type of puns to a minimum, the New Jersey-based rapper Lyrics writes incredibly captivating lyrics that are an immense amount of emotion to them. Gaining the interest of the iconic group UNION, and then becoming signed with them to Platinum Records, Lyrics is someone that should not be taken lightly. Since going solo, Lyrics has been hard at work creating music that has its own spin of what music meant to him, and this is a blend that we furiously loved in his release “YOU.” Keeping true to his roots and maintaining a modest but groovy but modest production allows Lyrics to perfectly craft a performance that sits on top and continually grasps your ear for attention. Lyrics is also one of those artists who is not afraid to reach out and collaborate with others, in his release “YOU” Lyrics brings in Matt Cleev and Matt Holbert to catch us by surprise - further keep to his unique style of keeping the music unique. We are definitely excited to hear what else is coming from Lyrics Mellow out to “YOU” here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Lyrics! Wow, what a record, “YOU” hits us with some nostalgia but also brings a unique flair to the table. What was your inspiration behind coming up with this one? Is there a personal event that inspired this one? What do all of the lyrics mean to you? Well, when I first got the track I knew I wanted to do something for the ladies. Then when my brother Matt Cleev came up with the hook I felt we needed to talk about relationships from the standpoint of when a regular person is dealing with someone in the music industry & everything that comes along with that. The good and the bad. My verse is a true story. I was dating a woman once who couldn't deal with me being around lots of women. I would bring her to lots of events but she always thought I wanted every lady that walked by. No matter how many times I told her that wasn't the case, she would just never believe me. So I d to part ways with her. We are loving the performances between you, Matt Cleev, and Matt Holbert, what was it like to all record together? At what stage were their choruses created? How did the three of you come to meet? Well, Matt Cleev actually wrote the chorus. Once he came up with the chorus, we wrote out verses. Once the chorus & verses were recorded we felt like it was missing something. So a few days later I played the record for a long time friend of mine (Ro May) and he sent it back with a young artist that he's been working with singing underneath Matt Cleev's vocals on the hook. So we brought him in (Matt Holbert) the studio and let him lay vocals. The energy was crazy and it took the song to a whole new level. The beat in “YOU” is incredibly groovy but simple, how did you come up with the different parts? Did you ever feel like you wanted to get a real choir instead of the synth? Did the beat come first or the lyrics? We actually had the track first. It was created by a team of producers from Germany I believe. They are called SOsospecial. They are really dope producers. So I purchased the track from those guys. Since your days as an artist with Union, how do you feel you have changed and grown as an artist now that you are working solo? Do you ever miss being a part of the group? After leaving the Union I feel like I was able to grow more as an artist. I could really talk about all the things that I wanted to talk about without any push back from anyone. It forced me to really focus on my craft more. I wasn't writing just once verse anymore. I had to create choruses and verses from top to bottom. So I think going solo made me more of a complete artist. I don't really miss being in a group. I love the freedom of being able to do whatever I want to do when it comes to music. I don't need anyone's approval to do what I feel & I love that. With “YOU” finally being out, what future goals do you have for 2020? Well for 2020, I'm dropping a new project called A Dollar & A Dream Reloaded in September & I'm also dropping a joint project with my bro Matt Cleev at the end of the year called The Teacher & The Student. And hopefully, tour at some point if we get past this pandemic. Stay Tuned! instagram.com/LYRICS0122 twitter.com/Lyrics0122 #BUZZMUSIC

Coming in from Toronto, Canada, artist/rapper GOALDY blows modern hip-hop out of the water with his fresh single "Scrimmage." Inspired by some of the greats among hip-hop (Jay-Z, Kanye, Slum Village, and Madlib), it became evident to GOALDY that he had to create music that sticks for a lifetime. Doing so with his modern vibe of a single "Scrimmage," we can hear a different approach to hip-hop, instead of regular kicks and drum patterns GOALDY brings in a textured and authentic manner. Through what sounds to be intoxicating lo-fi, offbeat, and unique production, GOALDY raps with poise overtop and delivers with perfection. Opening with filtered underlying jazz instrumentals, "Scrimmage" starts off setting out this dark yet heavily intriguing atmosphere. With the few flicks of a lighter and a soft inhale, we know that GOALDY is about to add some heat to the song. As the production gradually grows with added percussion, the beat truly becomes one you've never heard before. GOALDY begins rapping with force, yet in an incredibly laid back manner that exudes confidence and heightened self-worth. We can feel that "Scrimmage" has a freestyle tone to it, as GOALDY mentioned that this track goes out to his boys who'd get him out of class to freestyle for fun. A short track but one that truly doesn't miss a beat, GOALDY's "Scrimmage" displays nothing but authenticity. Be sure to listen to "Scrimmage" here. Hey GOALDY, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re really getting down with the unique and lo-fi beat you’ve displayed with “Scrimmage”. How did you come across this authentic jazz-infused hip-hop beat? I actually received this instrumental from my longtime producer homie Martin Sole (@martinsole) a while back, I’m talking 2 years ago when producers were deep into that lo-fi, glitchy Soundcloud era. All of our influences like your Dillas or your Madlibs would use the lo-fi effect over smooth jazz samples as well, so we used to just craft our music with their tricks and it worked out for the best. Now my boy Sole could most likely whip up 100 of these in a day. GOALDY’s lyricism on “Scrimmage” brings in this serious tone, but you rap about some playful and fun-loving situations. What sort of message or vibe did you want to set out with “Scrimmage” as a whole? The main thing I focus on while writing is how I'm going to make the listener feel from beginning to end. This was a very dark beat but I wanted to show I can control the room and bring light to the song with witty & playful lyrics. This relates to myself perfectly because I’ve always been one to find that light in the darkness and make the best out of my given situation. Seeing as “Scrimmage” is an incredibly unique song from production to flow, it must give GOALDY’s discography some range and added heat. Do you have other songs that range similar to “Scrimmage”, or was this the first sort of lo-fi down-tempo approach you’ve experimented with? This was definitely just one of many lo-fi songs in my artillery like I mentioned previously. I was heavy on that sound while it was growing vastly on SoundCloud and I even picked up a Native Instruments: Maschine to start making my own lo-fi downtempo beats to rap on. As far as ones that are already released, my Soundcloud is flooded with them and you’ll really hear me get experimental on different producers beats and even some of my own. The song topics range from love tracks to real life and both come with more witty lyrics and bouncy flows. We’ve heard that GOALDY is always busy writing, but recently you’ve been honing in your production skills to fine-tune your craft. What should we anticipate from your productions in the future? What sort of sound might you provide to listeners? Staying busy and always getting to it will be your two favorite things when it comes to fine-tuning your craft and showing growth. With that being said I’ve been very experimental, trying to work with different instrumentals from house to trap. Each time my listeners hear me I want them to expect something new, so I practice writing over things out of my comfort zone which helps bring out a musical side of me I would’ve never known. This sound will forever expand and I’ll be bringing that to the table with every release. Thank you for talking with us GOALDY, what are you currently working on? We can't wait to hear what is next! Currently, I’m back in the studio working on two EP’s, one being a joint EP with my bro Tay Jireh (@tayjireh) that will shake things up for sure and the other is my own and man... we will set the bar with both of those. Between now and the time those are released, expect to hear my voice on features, see my face in music videos, and possibly relate to my words with a couple of singles. Thank you,  now it’s back to the lab to create magic! instagram.com/boygoaldy twitter.com/_GOALDY #BUZZMUSIC

From the first moments of the opening track "Alone Together," 'GHOSTS' —the melancholically ominous extended play from commanding New York artist/producer, Fallen Oceans —plunges you deep into a well of elusive vibes with masquerading lamentations on youthful love and the indiscretions related to it. The music conjures swaying basement chill vibes, feeling like being awash underneath red glowing neon lights with heartstrings draped around you from the ceiling, effortlessly floating in the abstracts of your deepest emotions. It seems inevitable to reminisce over tightly packaged feelings you may be struggling with concerning a significant other when listening. Still, it's all welcomed as we slip more in-depth into the emotions Fallen Oceans describes effortlessly. The weight and crush introduced by the spacious ambiance and emotionally strung subject matter only enhance the EP's warming glow. Fallen Oceans first came onto the scene with his 2018 single "Heartbreak Club." On 'GHOSTS', the follow-up to his debut, 2019's 'Bleach', he continues to concentrate his complex influences into something of his design. With the singing voice reminiscent of JOJI and with light influences from contemporary legends and the sensibilities of RnB music's most successful: Ocean is carving out his own path with this Extended Play. He has tapped into a startlingly modern take on R&B coming out of the NY scene. Fallen Oceans sings with compelling lure and confidence masked in an effortless delivery, and his lines have an elusive lullaby-cadence that takes you to another place entirely. On "I Saw an Angel," he harmonizes in a gentle near-whisper, slipping through the cracks of a slighted love when he laments, "nevermind, don't care if you're divine, you won't be my life." On "Without You," he borrows from the ambiance of the glowing synths shouting, "You don't understand me, you don't understand me...I will fly without you" over a bouncy 808 and hi-hat combination supplying the right amount of momentum this track needs to move forward. With "The Ghost of You," feeling like the ballad of the year (delicate with a spacious piano-centric production), the whole record captures the rawness of early love's embrace even as Fallen Oceans lyrics veer explicitly into a more pessimistic leaning view on "Surrender," he sings: "So much for trying, I'd sing you the last song that I wrote..."). The bitterness is lifted up by the sweetness of the production, the twinkling of the musical harmonies in the backdrop, and ultimately, by the engrossing mood of love wasted melancholy. The theme resembles to be existentialism on dating and youthful passion. At only five short tracks, there's very little ill-treated space. The compactness provides the cohesion that this EP needs, allowing Fallen Oceans a tighter grip on the specific vibe he endeavors to capture. It's a complete concept, and the themes it conjures are graphic and glamorous enough to induce a trance while listening. With a short runtime, it leaves you wanting more, but most importantly, it leaves you wanting. You can find the 'GHOSTS' EP here. Hey there, Fallen Oceans! Welcome to BuzzMusic! We're overjoyed to be featuring your latest extended play 'GHOSTS'! Can you pinpoint some of the critical themes and inspirations you found to be the influence in your writing process for this EP? Thank you for the feature! The main theme that served as the basis of "GHOSTS" was that being in love can overrun your sense of judgment; starting with a high feeling and ending with painful consequences. When you're in love, you feel like you're invincible, but heartbreak is like kryptonite. The sole inspiration for this project was an unhealthy past relationship that I had never fully processed emotionally. You touch on some vulnerable topics in your music, how do you find the strength to open up about some of the exposed subjects found in this EP? Is it a challenge or something natural to you? Music has been my outlet to process emotions for as long as I can remember. Before I was making music, listening to music was therapeutic for me as well. It was a challenge to open up at first, but after hearing that my music felt true to people from different places around the world, I realized that authenticity is half of what makes a song. From then on, every song of mine has been written from my heart and at this point, I'm happy to say it feels natural to me. Your music feels reminiscent of notable artists from the past, but who has had the most significant influence on your life musically thus far? I am heavily influenced by Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and late rappers Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION. I have learned a lot from them about being guided by emotion and the power of vulnerability in lyrics. All of these artists were pioneers in their respective music genres, and I hope to be a pioneer in my genre. Thank you for joining us, Fallen Oceans! It was great having you here on BuzzMusic! Do you have any goals set out on producing for others or collaborating with any new artist in the future? We're excited to hear what's next for you. Thank you so much for having me! My goal as a producer has always been to bring the artist's vision of a song to life as accurately as possible, so I hope to continue doing that to the best of my ability. After recently falling in love with their music, I hope to make songs with Powfu and SadBoyProlific in the future. As for upcoming music, I can't give away too much, but definitely keep an eye out for a collaboration with my friend JUSTEND, as well as a beat I produced with my friend Swablu. What is one message you want your fans and listeners to know about you and your music? My one message for my fans is channel hate and negativity from others into motivation and positive action. If nobody had told me my music was bad or that I'd never go anywhere with music, I probably wouldn't have worked as hard as I have to be where I am today. I have put thousands of hours into music and I can now say I have proved the haters from high school wrong. Do what you love and disregard what anyone else thinks. instagram.com/itsfallenoceans twitter.com/itsfallenoceans facebook.com/itsfallenoceans #BUZZMUSIC

The acoustic guitar strums a dark and slightly eerie melody as the percussion ticks away like sand slipping through an hourglass.

On his latest track "Lipstick Stains," we are given a darker vibing soundscape. "Lipstick Stains," tells a story of a forbidden romance, lovers torn apart by autocratic figures. The ghostly vocals resonate on the track haunting the verses. The 808 beat set alongside the acoustic guitar creates an original, modern production of sound. The distorted combination of sounds gives an undeniable eerie vibe that will leave you with goosebumps.

The intense mood Undead Papi has created on this track is a feat all on its own, to be able to provide the listener with a particular sensation from your music takes skill and prowess, something Undead Papi clearly has. You can find "Lipstick Stains" here. Hello Undead Papi and welcome to BuzzMusic. We loved your latest release "Lipstick Stains." It has a very thick mood embedded in the track. Can you tell us a bit more about the song and what type of feeling you wanted to leave listeners with? I'm glad you enjoyed it! Lipstick Stains was an open luvluxx had sent to me. We had been discussing getting on a track together for a very long time, and finally, we came together on this one. I'm grateful for the outcome of the track, recently I often try to push myself to do more singing on tracks, but the process is so much different for me and takes a lot more time and patience in comparison to the other styles of music I do. The distinct mood and energy of the track made it a lot smoother for my creative process in this collaboration. I brought a sort of "two-faced" attitude to the track, my lyrics switching from sounding vulnerable to careless and self-confident, all while maintaining the smooth melodic tone while I sing. The song can potentially be interpreted in many different ways, and I value the aspect of mystery when trying to decipher a track's overall meaning. It leaves a lot of space for listeners to find their own meaning when hearing the song. The duality in my work often confuses many and at times results in people making their own assumptions when trying to figure me out. I feel like as my career goes on there will be a time of more clarity. As for now, I still have a lot of time to develop and evolve as an artist. You mentioned you enjoy exploring different combinations of sounds that play into your state of mind. When do you feel most inspired to create music? I spend a whole lot of time in my head. Anytime I have weight on my chest it goes right into the music. The same would apply for the opposite scenario- whenever I'm in a positive mindset, I put that energy into the music. The direction I go with the track always has to do with how I'm feeling at that moment. The abundance of songs with very loud and aggressive delivery in my discography is a reflection of how I normally react to different situations in my life. It's kind of a default for me to react with rage. When the tracks get slow, melodic, or even sad/dark it's often a deeper and more conscious expression of my emotions. "Lipstick Stains" features a collaboration with LuvLuxx, do you enjoy collaborating with other artists? I definitely enjoy collaborations when they are fit. When the energy matches on a track, it's always a lot more satisfying hearing two or more artists rather than constantly hearing solo tracks. There are a lot of talented artists in my circle and I anticipate much more collaborations in the future. We know your process for piecing together carefully arranged instrumentals for the foundation of your tracks, where do you find the inspiration that you put into your songwriting? I feel like inspiration for me comes from personal experiences in life. There will always be ups and downs and when looking back I'm always able to draw some sort of message to put into my work. My life has always been all over the place, abnormal would be an understatement- my upbringing would be described best as most unappealing as physically possible. Evidently processing my past was always hard for me, I have battled with PTSD for almost my entire life, but when it comes to music I'm able to let things out a lot less painfully. Listening to a lot of different genres and constantly expanding my taste has made it a lot easier for me to express all different kinds of emotions. I'm able to speak more fluently with different genres and styles. instagram.com/murderundead #BUZZMUSIC
