BIGBABYGUCCI’s Assume The Worst

BIGBABYGUCCI had fans on their toes as his sixth studio project neared its official release. Assume The Worst is coming with only a few weeks' notice since the Atlanta rapper has now fortified on the West Coast. This move to California could only add variety and vibrance to his music. This project was recorded in Hollywood, mixed and mastered entirely by Better Temperatures’ engineer and producer, Joe Dirt. Producer Fish is also returning alongside longtime creative partner BIGBABYGUCCI. 

BIGBABYGUCCI could write the playbook on how to keep fans engaged and interested. His social media is filled with teasers and updates. And release dates are never too far apart.

BIGBABYGUCCI keeps everything open and on the table, but manages to keep all the big surprises behind closed doors. Whether it’s a new single to hold fans over until his next project or using his platform to create his label, there’s always something for fans to enjoy. His ventures into physical CD sales and merchandise as an independent artist is a feat only few can do for themselves. BIGBABYGUCCI has triumphed since his separation from his label years ago. Now, he’s living any independent artists’ dreams.

this is the last time by pulp

pulp has put their fantastic spin on The National’s  “this is the last time”. pulp gives the song more longing and a feeling of grief, bringing down the tempo. They speak not-so fondly of, but mesmerized by, “Jenny”. pulp generates a sorrowful tone with slow, dark piano chords. The National’s thoughtful, woeful lyrics are paired with their dreary tone. “I wish everybody knew what’s so great about you. But your love is such a swamp. You don’t think before you jump.” “this is the last time” is similar to a mantra, or a promise to yourself. pulp shows off their creative directing skills and pays homage to the band with this cover of a classic.

A QUICK CONVERSATION WITH JTVION

      

JTVION is a young, influential rapper from Sandusky, Ohio. His music melds together different musical influences, from metal to punk rock, into his unique Hip Hop style. Although JTVION is still on his sprint up the mountain, his music is close to any professional caliber. Recently, he’s been strolling through Twitter and collecting believers. His music and his message are so good, they’re hard to ignore. After seeing his work as an outsider, I wanted to know what’s behind his discography and enthusiasm. He’s one of those artists that make everything seem a bit too easy.


Where did your musical career begin, what materials were at your disposal and what kind of person were you?

JTVION: When I first started making music I had got really into pursuing it as a hobby after X passed away. It hurt losing an artist that helped me through so much so I wanted to step up to the plate and be somebody others could look up to. At the beginning I didn’t have any equipment except GarageBand on my iPhone, some Apple headphones and a scrap car that I recorded in. So because of only being able to record with low quality equipment I made loud aggressive screamo style music


Did you ever dabble in music before XXXTentacion’s passing? How did it change after he passed?

JTVION: Yeah I would rap in freestyle everyday when I would walk around when i was little up until I wanted to start taking it serious


How do you think you’ve evolved or improved since then?

JTVION: Since then I think I’ve improved drastically. To the point where if I showed you an old song you wouldn’t even believe it was me lmao


How has you faith helped you as a person and an artist?

JTVION: My faith in god carries my career and my ability to prevail. If it wasn’t for the strength god gave me I would’ve stopped pursuing music a long time ago! As a person I’ve completely changed my life around. My whole life used to revolve around drugs and getting High off pills, weed, coke basically whatever except the crazy stuff, if it wasn’t for god and music idk who or where I’d be


How do you approach song concepts and the message you convey now? Is it hard to stick to a style or overall image?

JTVION: I don’t really have a certain way I approach song concepts I just create what I’m feeling at the time. I think sticking to a style is easy once you’ve landed how you you want to sound I guess, I wouldn’t say I have a singular style but you could hear anyone of my songs and go “oh, that’s JTVION”


It’s hard being an independent artist. Who or what motivates you the most?

JTVION: Some things that motivate me the most are having an impact on those I come across. Allowing people to see my journey in music and my faith as an example that anything is possible through hard work and faith. I’m also motivated by how far I can go with my music and the life I can create for myself! I really just want to prove to myself that I can change my life. Oh and I want to prove people who thought little of me that I’m more than what they thought o ever could be.


If you could pick 2 of your own songs and 1-2 of your favorites to direct to people that went through a similar situation as you, what would they be?

JTVION: LoveUAlways and Midnight off my album Young Lost Soul. Bounce Back by 17dreams, Fire by Seji, Change the Climate by Lil Xavy and Runaway by 6VIB3Z.


Although COVID is still a factor, do you have plans for more immersive audience experiences?

JTVION: Yeah totally, I wanna do some sort of “virtual” concert this year and put on a show for my fans through a livestream of some sort! I think that’d be pretty cool


What are your plans for this year? Are more collaborations in the future?

JTVION: Some of my plans for this year are to drop another album/project toward the summer! Along with getting the Seji x JTVION tape out. I also wanna work with some more artists I’ve connected with here on twitter. Like Yung Gosse and Babyface, etc. there’s really so much I want to get done!

It has the honest energy that many young listeners are searching for, topped off with his catchy style. “Who Are You” has all the elements of taking off.

Age of the Beat Stars

Hip Hop has morphed dramatically since its origin in the 70s. Each generation adds its flavor and layer of creativity to the art. As we’ve fully stepped into the new decade, it has become increasingly obvious that producers have come for the crown. Rap has always been about the rhythm and poetry created by the DJs and emcees. But the years have brought a new audience, and a new sound. Melodic, drill, and trap rap are now international. Hip Hop is global and connecting personally with the lyrics isn’t necessary. Countries as vast as Russia, Korea, and Italy have adopted rap music. Where verbal communication falters, the rhythm does all the talking.

Now, simply what’s heard sonically is enough to connect one to a song. The impression of the bass, the emotion and tone of the vocals is key to evoke a response. Entire cultures are infused into Hip Hop, then shared even further through streaming and social media. At the core of these experiences are the producers and engineers. They’re able to create instrumentals so timeless and organic that it doesn’t take a certain listener to appreciate it. Producers search for fresh and enticing sounds to add texture and brand the beat into listeners’ brains. This all comes together in the studio as engineers take the best qualities of the beat and the artist’s vocals and create the hits of today. 

It’s hard to say you haven’t liked a song just from the beat, especially the drop. That energy is hard to ignore. Production in itself has always been a prominent skill in creating music. Now, thanks to social media, young listeners and artists can follow their favorite producers, learn from them, and listen to all of their songs. Producer collectives have launched their recording careers. In this era, the artists are the instruments. Internet Money, the multi-faceted music collective, has earned themselves over twenty weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Stars can be discovered at any stage when it comes to production. A young and driven collective is more than capable of leaving their mark. The collective Neilaworld acquired credits on multiple platinum projects in 2020, including Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars, Aim for the Moon. In this new decade, everyone gets their credit. Anyone can be a star.

Ill by avakten

Artist avakten has taken his discography to an all new height with his single “Ill”, co-produced by Ginseng and his producer alias- Simulacra. The fusion hyper pop and his airy vocals make the song a hit for any occasion. Lyrically, the song is revealing, but uplifting. “You were fake before we started...My past been painful, I’ve been beaten down”, avakten has gifted his heart and had it broken before him. He’s turned this heartbreak into sweet melodies and a remedy for those feeling just as sick.

Just Another Melody by The Underd0g

 Told her not to fall in love with me 

The Underd0g hasn’t had the best luck with love. One of his latest singles “Just Another Melody” details his love life. Fans love him, through his music and sometimes a bit more candidly on the road. But it’s all very surreal. The fame doesn’t fix all of his problems and finding real connections can be even harder.

Heart’s frozen. They been hating on me. I don’t know them. I’ll be sad and lonely. Til the world ends 

The Underd0g almost masks the underlying despairing lyrics by pitching his vocals higher and using lighthearted guitar chords, hints of soft synth and simple snares and claps. It gives the essence of floating, which seems to be something The Underd0g would much rather do.

Demons & Monsters by 347Aidan

Layers and raw vocals, that’s what brings 347Aidan’s last single “Demons & Monster” its eery and enticing appeal. The young artist has a specifically raspy voice that creates its own ambiance when harmonious. The acoustic guitar grounds the song as the bass carries you through an array of emotions portrayed by 347Aidan. He reveals who’s truly corrupt and evil in society, all wrapped in an infectious chorus. It’s the monsters that run the world.

Life’s Hard, Love Hurts by Lil Sad Boi

Life’s Hard, Love Hurts is a raw and organic EP created by Lil Sad Boi. He expresses his emotions fully, shouting out legends before him such as Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION that used their emotion as slates or mirrors for their music. Lil Sad Boi connects through the most human emotions: loss, heartbreak, and wanderlust. He’s searching for the answers that many of us are diving into. Each song, from “X Wing” to “Cali Girl” is a reflection of a love lost or barely able to come to fruition. This project is definitely residing in the realm of Emo Rap. Lil Sad Boi manages to put his mind and way of expression on the line to make a masterpiece fit for those feeling a little too lonely.

Crash Tonight by Funeral

“Crash Tonight” is the first song I’ve ever heard from North Carolina rapper Funeral, but it definitely won’t be the last. Emotional music has always been a staple in popular music, but now it’s merging into Hip Hop more than ever before. Funeral is a part of a generation of artists that enjoys being vulnerable, and despite the genres' harder history, has a deep connection and talent for Hip Hop. “Crash Tonight” has crass and worn vocals mixed with hyper pop distortion and frankly dark lyrics. Similar to mega artists like Trippie Redd and the late Juice WRLD, Funeral in “Crash Tonight” manages to take a subject matter that would usually be grim and makes it rhythmic and brighter than the assumed emotions and story behind it. Funeral and his SoundCloud listeners would agree, he’s on the verge of a blowup.

A QUICK CONVERSATION WITH CHLOE RAIN

Chloe Rain wrote her debut album for her, but she also wrote it for you. Each song is an extension of an emotion that we all feel. It’s the sadness of being cheated out of happiness or a glimmering opportunity, Unfair is a heartfelt and selfless display of love and growing pains. Although not perfectly polished, Chloe Rain and her friends of artist make this project a stepping stone for her musical career and what fans can anticipate.  

What encouraged you to make Unfair your debut album instead of a mixtape or EP?

CHLOE: i originally planned on making it another ep, but as the tracks came to be, i knew that myself and the people involved were album material. i also wrote the whole album in four days so i acknowledged how natural it was coming to me and took that as the universes way of saying, this is it. but what really pushed me was once i listened to it front to back for the first time i just knew it was my debut album.


What have you learned about yourself as an artist while creating this album?

CHLOE: i learned that i can do a lot more styles than i think i can, ikyk was the first time i wrote over a beat like that, and the lyrics literally slipped off of my tongue. i also learned that i’d rather put out a big project than a bunch of little ones, i like to tell a story through my art and although i can do it in four minutes, why limit it to that.


COVID-19 has ruined plans for millions. Did you experience any complications due to quarantine during the process?

CHLOE: honestly not really, i’ve been pretty lucky because most of what i do has been online so far the only semi complication, was i thought i had the virus so i couldn’t sing for about a week, but i ended up just having a cold thankfully. but that was the 5th day of working on it so the day after writing all those songs all i wanted to do was record but i knew it would only make recovery longer

Any plans for visuals in the future, this year or next?

CHLOE: i have a video in the works right now, and i plan on doing more in the next year or so, i have a lot of ideas in my head, i just need to work on bringing them to life

Is there a story behind the song “Asshole”?

CHLOE: asshole is just a song that i felt like everyone could relate to. i’ve done wrong like everyone, but i feel like you do one thing and everyone paints you out to be the bad guy. it was kind of my way of beating everyone else to it because i knew the people who this album was about would hit me up or throw shade and i had a song on the album to hit them with what i assumed they were thinking. & a song to the haters. 

Have you felt any pressure to meet or exceed standards while releasing your music?

CHLOE: honestly, no.i’m to a point in my craft where i can bump my own songs and love on them. i knew putting this project out no matter what the numbers said or who loved it, i was confident in my craft. and it was more than good enough.

What can we expect from for the rest of the year?

CHLOE: i have a lot planned, i’d except some singles, and potentially another ep.

I Can’t Smoke In The Gallery by Pulp

“I Can’t Smoke In The Gallery” is a slow and solemn track essential for moments when you just need to unwind. The grave bpm of the beat is hypnotic and Pulp’s soft vocals are meditative. The piano chords and drum beats can only best describe a sunny park scene. Pulp manages to create layers within the song, each with their own experience. Although the track has such light and optimistic tones, the lyrics hold a contrasting tale. You may just have to take another listen.

Unfair by Chloe Rain and Kyng Kilo

“Unfair” is an enchanting song complete with lively electric guitar and whopping bass. Chloe Rain is the lead vocalist for the track, fully grasping the power of her raspy tone and mesmerizing belts. Kyng Kilo’s verse comes in after the second half of the song. The change is jarring enough to transport into his realm. Each artist maintained great vocal performances, their emotional chords tied their styles together perfectly. By the end of the song, you’ll want to hear more for both of these bright and developing artists.

Turbo Bieber 3: Popstars Never Die! by Lil Turbo

Lil Turbo is keeping the summer energy alive with the third installment to his alter ego’s discography, Turbo Bieber. The eight track album consists of some of his best lyrical performances and new classics to add to any playlist.

The project is led with “Shine” a rich track to immerse the listener. It’s the perfect element of escapism. The project continues with “Texaco & Citago” with production by Neilaworld. The beat has an experimental and cosmic tone with Lil Turbo at the helm of the musical experience. Lil Turbo isn’t afraid to embrace what’s outside of the norm. His collaboration with Belis in “Gotta Blast” probably has the highest return on interest. The song is melodic and catchy, and assistance from Belis’ otherworldly vocals elevates Turbo’s delivery and gives body and texture to the piece.

From there, Turbo Bieber hits full speed. “Paranoid” has a more cocky persona than the tracks before it. Lil Turbo is focused on the climb, how others are moving around him couldn’t matter less. “Fuck what you say, I’m make me a trillion.” He’s manifesting a bright and rich future. “Money Talk” has softer energy, displaying his range and ability to maintain artistry while hitting all the notes people want to hear. He’s assisted by SEBii to solidify the gentle sound he was looking for. “Bad Bih” is a clever song, the tune almost mimicking  a nursery rhyme, making it almost impossible to forget. “Outerspace Zaza!” keeps the fun going. So far, Lil Turbo has allowed the tempo of the album to shift and flow almost like a concert. Each song has its purpose, whether it’s to kick off the show, keep the momentum going or slow it down. Lil Turbo closes out the show with “I Know She Know”, a more rhythmic and sensual track left over for the ladies.

Let It Go by Makai Keyes ft. Moses B

Makai Keyes’ music video for “Let It Go” doesn’t cut corners. Instead, it completely removes them and gives you a closeup and blunt perspective of Makai’s thoughts and views. It’s minimalistic, to say the least. Whether those views are being held upside down from outside of a window by two masked (white) thugs or sitting on a bench atop of a grassy valley. Visually, “Let It Go” is as warm and inviting as Makai’s vocal performance. His rapping is well-paced and versed with soft vocals from Moses B that slide the track from catchy to award-worthy. The two have managed to capture the essence of moving on, the frustration- and freedom.

A QUICK CONVERSATION WITH LIL SAD BOI

Lil Sad Boi lets his emotions flow, and puts all of that energy into his music. He takes situations and circumstances that leave many numb and allows them to channel into his art. His latest single “Naruto” mellows the storm of anxiety that many across globe feel each day. His goals seem set and his focus on simply creating music for those similar to himself have already carried him far. In this interview, I sought to understand what brings him the confidence to be emotional, vulnerable and honest while still maintaining balance and privacy.

Has music always been your passion?

SAD: No, basketball was my passion for the longest time from like 5/6th grade even thru high school. But everything changed my sophomore year when my cousins asked me if I wanted to make a song. I was like what you mean and they had a little studio setup in their room. We made a freestyle and after that day I wanted to keep making music. It was like my calling. So my cousin was friends with an artists named teammate markus from my hometown and I met him. I recorded my first tape at his house a couple months after making that freestyle.

As you’ve grown up, how have you and your style changed?

SAD: I’ve changed a lot. When I was first making music I was just rapping. I was listening too a lot of g Eazy at the time and I wanted to be just like him. Then as my music taste started to branch out, my style changed. I was always a big drake fan and I noticed how he’s like the best and why is that. Well he doesn’t just rap he sings too. Once I could see that that’s when my style changed. 


Is there a story behind “Lil Sad Boi” and why you chose it?

SAD: Well my first name was cole train and my cousins gave that too me. Then when I was starting to get more serious I changed it to 9 9wl (nine owl). I just wanted to be different and my name was inspired by 6 dogs. The music I was making wasn’t really fitting my name and I started to get inspired by peep a lot. And i want to make a big impact just like him. I was also very sad at the time and I was thinking of changing my name to lil anyways so I was like why not just change it to lil sad boi. 


How important is it, to you, to have support from your hometown?

SAD: It’s very important. It’s where I’m from. It means a lot. They’ve known and seen my grown since day one.


What do you want people to take away from your music?

SAD: What I want people to take away is that there not alone. I want to help them thru my music. Depression and anxiety or whatever problems you are dealing with, I want my music to help them thru those rough times. Although my music can be sad and dark sometimes I still want to spread good energy and love to my fans and the Haters. 

Can you share any details about your upcoming projects?

SAD: Right now I’m working on something. I’m making a lot of music with my bro gvrci. We’ve got a lot of music together so we might drop a collab tape. But I’m Working on a project tbh I’m just creating and creating tons of songs at the moment. 


What sub-genre of hip hop do you believe will be the next big thing and why?

SAD: Emo rap. It kind of already is the next big thing but what peep did was so impactful. Then juice came along and had a huge impactful as well. And I think the next big artist to do the same will be iann dior. I feel like I’m apart of the emo rap genre and it’s just so impactful to the people who listen. I love making music for myself because it’s my passion but I love making it for others.

Naruto by lil sad boi

Earth can be stressful, lil sad boi takes you into the clouds with his new song “Naruto”. Produced by xCephasx, the beat has a dreamy and uplifting tone. From here, lil sad boi sets the stage. “Running through the forest like Naruto. Tripping on shrooms. I think I’m on Pluto. I’m high, I’m high, like a satellite.” His lyrics are just as free and lighthearted as his dreams. “Naruto” is a great pick-me-up, the instrumental itself is very calming, like a breath of fresh air. This song is the perfect addition to your “Lazy Day” playlist.

Amare Blvd by Amarelovesyou

The world has been nothing but stressful these past few weeks, and Amarelovesyou has managed to make all that craziness slip away through his new EP Amare Blvd. The EP consists of four tracks that drift between styles. The euphoria begins with “Come Thru”. You’re unexpectedly swept away by soft ukulele chords and Amare’s whimsical vocals. The chorus is catchy and all too relatable.  “I’m just trying to come through tonight. Tell me, why you trippin’ baby? Why ain’t gotta fight. Regards, baby Imma come through.” It’s a group of words that can be served justice if you hear from Amarelovesyou himself. 

The high energy continues with “I Gotchu”. Amarelovesyou seems to have crafted the perfect summer collection. “I Gotchu” has a similar energy to a late night of going to parties, kickbacks, or mountain tops. It’s the summer you’ve seen in movies and have always dreamed of having. Amarelovesyou’s writing takes his music to a level that’s supreme- but uniquely his own. “To Yo Face” is a more in-your-face and raunchy Amare. You wouldn’t want to repeat these lyrics to your grandma, or maybe you should... for content. 

“On My Lonesome” brings the EP to a close. The suspense built with jittery high hats and reveals a confident Amarelovesyou somewhat breaking the fourth wall. He addresses his path, personal relationships, and dives into more down-to-earth topics. “I’m been on my lonesome. Trynna secure that income. Shawty think she know something. She don’t even know nothin’. And as quickly as Amarelovesyou took into you his world, he pushes you out of it with an abrupt cut. The rest of the it is up to you.

His new two-song EP Spring Training Pack features gritty vocals hyperactive percussion. The first song “Reflect” is produced by WayTooLost, he keeps the tempo low with slow drums and notes that sound like stars dancing. Solak’s confidence on the beat sounds like he’s dancing with those stars. “I had to cut off some fake friends... I’m the one that’s gonna set the trend.” He’s determined and more focused than ever.

The second song “Blue Faces”, co-produced by Lezter & Sounds Need To Talk, feels like a mantra or speaking your goals into the universe. “I’m just trynna count them blue faces.” For this track, Solak teams up with fellow rapper Newy Gee. “You don’t know what’s in store. I’m trynna take it to the top. Right now I’m on the ground floor.” Both artists delivered solid verses that are filled with motivational one-liners. This EP is a morning motivator,  always swing for the fence.

A QUICK CONVERSATION WITH WXLDBXI

WxldBxi isn't very flashy when it comes to everything outside of music. His online presence differs from “get-rich-quick” artists that constantly demand your attention with stunts and gimmicks. Instead, WxldBxi allows his audience to come to him. His Instagram has fewer than a dozen posts, but each is filled with love from fans. His music can excitable, melodic and expressive. He's illusive, but a fresh face in the same beat. This was a great opportunity to learn more about such a versatile and enigmatic artist.

How did you start creating your own music? Was there a key person that supported you?

WXLD: I started creating my own music through an android phone first. And I used an app called 'bandlab' On it. My uncle who passed away was a big fan of music and I lived with him along with grandma,mother,and 4 brothers. Little house but we made it work. But anyways, I was like 6-7 and I was always listening to him play the guitar. I loved how it sounded so I use to always sing to it. So as I got older I fell in love with music even more. Then I started creating music and my big brother Gino believed I had potential so he supports me through my journey.


What pushed you to make your music public?

WXLD: What pushed me to make my music public is the love I had for it. Growing up was tough but I never was the person to talk about my depression & feelings verbally. So growing up I was hearing & seeing people that was going through it also. So I made music for the ones that feel like they’re are alone. But I’m letting them know that they’re aren’t because I’m explaining some of my songs that I have those problems too. So that's why I’ve decided to make it public. I want everybody to hear my come up and pain.


Do you categorize your own music into a genre? Do you think genres still matter?

WXLD: Honestly I don’t Categorize my music in a specific genre. But if I did it’ll probably be 'Emo Rap'. But that’s funny because all of my music isn’t emo rap. I try to make music for everyone so you’ll see me making (pop,rock,hiphop,and r&b) So personally I don’t categorize my music. But yes I do think genres matter. Simply because our listeners want to know what type of style of music they’re listening to. And also, our listeners have some genres they don’t like. So yes i think genres are relevant today.


You have two tracks on SoundCloud, were you surprised by the great reception?

WXLD: Yeah honestly I was surprised by the great reception despite of me having only two songs as of right now. See for me, I’ve kindve started my whole music career over. So I’m in the process of gaining an loyal audience. Honestly I feel like this the hardest part of it all simply because people have to see what they like in you. And I don’t really know what people want yet. I just be myself and they’ll either love that or hate you for it.


Can you tell us anything about Teenage Nightmares?

WXLD: When i describe 'Teenage Nightmares' it’s pretty much what we go through as Teens. Like Depression,Anxiety,Mental Illness,pregnancy,drug addiction,etc being so young. And added on what we see & hear about around us. Like murder, politics,etc. But as a teen we thinking like 'this is supposed to be the best time in our life' simply because we might can get out the house more often, go to parties, doing lit things and have fun'. But nowadays it’s vice versa for a lot of people like myself. So it’s simply a nightmare I describe it as.


Are there plans for music videos in the near future?

WXLD: Of course they’re plans for visuals. I’m thinking to have my music videos like a movie though. Not extended so long but like the feeling and eagerness. I want people to see my visions on my song.


What does “wxldbxi” symbolize for you? What do you want it to mean for your fans?

WXLD: WXLDBXI is pronounced (Wild Boy) But 'WXLDBXI' looks cooler to me and stand out. The reason i got that name is because I did and do wild things like a 'Dare Devil'. I was influenced by Steve O growing up. I seen how he really lived his life and Tried to have fun. But there’s also another meaning of 'wild boy'...I been through a lot of wild scenes in life like I seen ppl get stabbed etc when I was younger. So I describe my whole life as 'Wild'. I want the Name Wxldbxi to mean to my fans ‘expect anything from me' like don’t be surprised if I do this or that.
