Celebrate Valentine's Day with The Dirty Sample's "Just One"

 
 

The first single from The Dirty Sample’s instrumental album, Love Always Wins If You Let It, “Just One” is a feel-good boom bap beat dedicated to those who work hard to spend their lives with the ones they love, through the distress and the delights. 


Produced by The Dirty Sample

Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell feat. Bahamadia "Cravings & Withdrawals" [Retrogott Remix]


The underground hit single "Cravings & Withdrawals" by Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell featuring Gang Starr Foundation member Bahamadia (taken off the critically acclaimed mini-album "Chocolate Bars" released on Ill Adrenaline Records, 2024), gets the remix treatment by none other than legendary German MC, producer, DJ, and author Retrogott. Currently the single is a digital release with plans of a limited edition 7" vinyl release on the way.

The original track has already made massive waves in the indie hop-hop scene, topping the HipHopGods Radio charts. Emma Lee M.C. even appeared as a guest on Roxanne Shante's "Have a Nice Day" radio show on Sirius XM/Rock the Bells Radio to further promote "Chocolate Bars" and her new book "Y'All (Not) Gon' Make Me Lose My Mind: Notes from a Hip-Hop Unicorn & Suicide Survivor".

Retrogott, known for his pivotal role in shaping Germany's hip-hop landscape, enhances the track's jazzy vibes with hard-hitting drums and a true golden era sound. While Roccwell's soulful production laid the foundation, Retrogott adds his own authentic flavor, combining vintage influences with his unique style to give "Cravings & Withdrawals" a timeless, underground feel. With this remix, "Chocolate Bars" continues to resonate with hip-hop aficionados, bridging the gap between modern and classic hip-hop sounds.

Kaboom Atomic x The Dirty Sample - I Ain't So Proud Anymore



About the single according to Kaboom:

"I used to look back and think about old days and relish in how things were. Then I realized we were just as s*** then as we are now. The truth is, everyone sucked then, and everyone sucks now. Society hasn't declined, it has straight up stayed in its perpetual state of uselessness. Thing is, there was a lot more punching back then if you were a nerd. Now the nerds are burning the Amazon! That's right, Amazon is on fire. And as far as I'm concerned, it's the wrong Amazon."


Written and performed by Kaboom Atomic

River Nelson drops reflective new single "Flying"

 


River Nelson returns with a brand new project "Mental Notes" announced for 2025, and reflective single "Flying"

Flying is the lead single from rapper River Nelson’s up coming EP "Mental Notes".

Produced by UK based Shaan Angel, Flying explores River’s unwavering ambition to elevate himself both as an artist and an individual, despite facing various challenges.

“Had to learn how to fall to learn how to fly / Knew the dangers involved but still had to try,” raps River in the chorus.

He also gave some insight on the song and broke down its meaning.

“Flying is partly aspirational, and partly a documentation of where I am in my life as an artist and person,” River explains. “It also tells the story of where I’ve been, and what I’ve experienced in my constant pursuit to better myself."

The inspirational single is out nowhttps://ffm.to/rivernelsonflying

River Nelson- Mental Notes

Mental Notes is the latest EP from American rapper River Nelson. As the title suggests, the songs are River's latest thoughts on today’s world, the people in it, life, his art, and the things he’s experienced on his constant journey of trying to better himself.

Producers on the project include OVL Lorde from Florida, AltoBeats from California — who’s released two critically acclaimed albums with River — and Shaan Angel from the UK. The lead single for the project is the inspirational Flying, which is about River’s unwavering ambition to elevate himself both as an artist and an individual, despite facing challenges.

Other songs include the title track, which serves as the opener.

“These days will eat you alive that’s why we all feel edible / Yet I survived, which I think is commendable / In a time where scarcity is plentiful / And people ain’t loyal ‘cause their morals are bendable,” raps River on the song Mental Notes.

Meanwhile, Me & Dad on the Docks, a third song, is a touching story about River and his late father fishing together when River was a child, and how his father used fishing to teach certain life lessons.

There’s Season to Season as well, a song based on River’s belief that all things shall pass, regardless of how bad they are.

“Sometimes when going through a difficult time, it can be easy to forget that you’re just going through a season, and whatever you’re experiencing is most likely temporary,” says River about Season to Season.

His most recent album, We Should Escape, was released in 2023 with AltoBeats. Before that, the duo's album, Like the Sun Didn't Sink, was released in 2021.

The Mental Notes EP will be released later this year in digital stores, and on vinyl.
