DOM – SDA

Houston Music Artist DOM Releases New Single Featuring Erica Banks

Singer, producer, and rapper, DOM is the alter ego of Houston, Texas based music artist Dominique Side. She has become known for her fierce voice and unstoppable energy. Co-owner of VgnBae Music Group, last month, DOM returned to the stage and performed her newly released single with Erica Banks to a packed house of faithful fans at VgnBae Studios in Houston.

Born originally in Biloxi, Mississippi, Dominique had been a part of several R&B outfits until forming VgnBae Music Group in 2019. After producing and singing on different recordings at their studios, in 2021 she stepped into the spotlight, creating music as the force named DOM. Her first EP “IRL” was nothing short of a sonic blast filled with revenge fueled breakup bangers.

“IRL” was a full concept album following the journey of a woman pushed to the edge by a cheating partner. Called “deliciously deranged” and a “dark and sexy rollercoaster ride” by critics, it was streamed hundreds of thousands of times and followed by a complete visual series of music videos. Songs from “IRL” also made their way on the radio, soundtracks, and at fashion retail stores.

Dominique has stayed busy in the 2 years since her last release came out creating her own luxury vegan clothing line, “Nikki Green”. and working on numerous projects with artists at VgnBae Music Group. In June 2023, DOM delivered a new, super twerk-able single featuring Erica Banks entitled “SDA”. It’s the ass-shaking anthem you need this summer and the music video is gloriously booty-licious, showing DOM will have her cake and eat it too.

This most recent track leaves no doubt her boss attitude is still in top form. Abbreviated from “Shake Dat Ass”, DOM’s latest single gives fans a mouthwatering taste of her contagious songwriting and versatility in hip-hop and rap. It’s an indulgent audio feast that continues her uncompromising views on female empowerment of sexuality and success.

A brand new EP is in the works and slated to drop later this year to accompany “SDA”. DOM is definitely making good on the promise that when it comes to her music, “one thing people can expect from me as an artist is authenticity.” It would appear fans can continue looking forward to DOM releasing songs featuring her many sides and dripping with bad b*tch energy.

DaBaby – Shake Sumn

Following a scorching, hot run with the three-pack EP CALL DA FIREMAN, DaBaby (South Coast Music Group/Interscope Records) has returned to keep fans moving with “SHAKE SUMN (Remix)” featuring Sexyy Red. Dababy and Sexyy Red take center stage for the remix as they trade raunchy bars over the Charlie Heat-produced record.

The fun continues in the official music video directed by DaBaby, where guest star Gianni Paola from STARZ’s Power Book II: Ghost is held hostage by Sexyy Red and her rump-shaking cohorts. The satin durag-clad actor seems scared for his life while in the clutches of Red but ends up turning up with her crew while DaBaby plays a fireman attempting to cool off the hot scene.

WATCH HERE.

The visuals for the remix come after the releases of the music videos for “SELLIN CRACK” featuring Offset and the original “SHAKE SUMN.” For “SELLIN CRACK,” Dababy and Offset recreated scenes from the classic film New Jack City while “SHAKE SUMN” had the Grammy Award-winner taking up shop in an abandoned warehouse for an all-out dance party.

Dababy’s “SHAKE SUMN” is the lead single off his latest EP, CALL DA FIREMAN, which was released in May. With a total of 64 million U.S. streams, the single has been a force to be reckoned with on the Billboard charts. It peaked at No. 13, No. 21, and No. 69 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot 100 charts, respectively. The record has also hit new peaks in several charts, including Urban Airplay at No.16, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay at No. 19, and Rhythmic Airplay at No. 24. The original version of “SHAKE SUMN” has also landed in the Top 15 of the Urban Mainstream radio chart by taking sole possession of the No. 14 spot.

DaBaby has also been busy on the promotional circuit for “SHAKE SUMN” as he hit the red carpet at the 2023 BET Awards in June and is currently on a club promo run, making his way to various nightlife spots across the country to promote the hit record.

BRYAN CHASE RELEASES OFFICIAL MV FOR “RAINDROP,”

FROM HIS ACCLAIMED DEBUT EP 2U, OUT NOW

VIA THEBLACKLABEL + INTERSCOPE RECORDS

Stream 2U here.

Watch “Raindrop” here.

Korean hip-hop artist Bryan Chase releases the official music video for “Raindrop,” a track from his debut EP [2U], which is out now via THEBLACKLABEL and Interscope Records.

The futuristic video finds Bryan’s robotic alter ego, navigating a post-apocalyptic world. “‘Raindrop’ carries a powerful message about staying resilient in the face of constant challenges and refusing to be defeated by adversity.” Bryan shared. The track is produced by BIG BANANA, who recently produced “나는 (Reason)” by fellow THEBLACKLABEL artist TAEYANG.

The video for “Raindrop” follows Bryan’s momentous comeback and the excitement surrounding the “2U” title-track, which finds Bryan alongside New York rap star A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. The single was named “Song You Need To Know” by Rolling Strong and the video quickly generated 1M plus views. “2U” is written by Bryan with production by 24, the lead beat-maker for BLACKPINK, who is behind the global hits “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” and “Pink Venom.” The cinematic, anime-inspired music video was created by Takayuki Moriya, the executive producer of the award-winning Japanese virtual human company Aww Inc., and YKBX, an acclaimed animator and video director.

Released on June 28th, the 6-song EP follows Bryan’s artistic and personal growth, as he explores new sounds and ideas, pushing himself out of his comfort zone. “This album is an embodiment of my deepest thoughts and emotions, my highs and lows, my heaven and hell,” Bryan shared. “This is 2U.” Bryan partook in all of the songwriting throughout the EP with production from BIG BANANA, 24 and his long-time collaborator JUNIORCHEF. The album is executive produced by TEDDY.

It is being released by THEBLACKLABEL, which is home to artists TAEYANG, JEON SOMI, LØREN, Zion.T and Park Bo-Gum, in conjunction with Interscope Records, who’s championed some of hip-hop’s biggest names, including 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar. Bryan joins the roster as the only Korean rapper currently on the label.

[2U] marks Bryan’s highly-anticipated return, following a remarkable feature on TAEYANG’s 2023 EP, Down to Earth. Bryan’s standout guest verse on “Nightfall” and the accompanying live performance video, left a lasting impression and set the stage for his solo release. Leading up to the EP, Bryan announced his comeback with the pre-release music video for “Restart It.”

Bryan Chase first gained notoriety alongside Korean hip-hop collective, The Cohort, who exploded on the international music scene with people of all backgrounds hailing their tag, “Underwater Squad.” Dominating the blog era with support from the likes of VICE, Complex, The Fader and Hypebeast, The Cohort cultivated the underground rap scene, while demonstrating hip-hop’s cross-cultural powers. Their “No Flex Zone (Remix)” went viral on YouTube and the momentum culminated into a series of releases by The Cohort called The Last Orcas, released through 88rising. It included Bryan’s collaboration with Keith Ape on “Let Us Prey,” and singles like “Walkin (Remix)” and “Underwater Bank,” which combined have more than 14M views on YouTube.

Bryan, who was born in Seoul, but grew up between Texas and Virginia, fell in love with hip-hop at an early age and was inspired by the Southern rap scene. [2U] is a culmination of his journey thus far.

MZ’s pick of ‘the songwriter I want to keep to myself’- JUNNY is releasing a new single called ‘INVITATION’ tomorrow.

‘INVITATION’ was produced during the Codeshare Music Project <8bar Relay>, which was held by LIM GWANG-WOOK, Divine Channel’s producer.

Not only to add the perfection to his song, also featured by GAEKO of Dynamicduo, who has been known for his perfect rap diction for 20+ years in the Korean hip-hop scene.

The new release, ‘INVITATION’ falls in the trendy genre of R&B/Hip-Hop and Soul/Pop.

Dave East – WDGAF

DAVE EAST RELEASES NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO “WDGAF” FEATURING G-EAZY TODAY

LISTEN HERE | WATCH HERE

SET TO UNLEASH MUCH-ANTICIPATED SECOND FULL-LENGTH ALBUM FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD OUT JULY 14 PRE-ORDER [HERE]

Back with more heat, GRAMMY® Award-nominated gold-selling Harlem rap phenomenon, model, actor, and storyteller Dave East serves up an anthemic new single and music video entitled “WDGAF” [feat. G-Eazy] out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE. It sets the stage for his anxiously awaited second full-length album, Fortune Favors The Bold, arriving on July 14. Pre-order/Pre-saveHERE.

“WDGAF” notably stands out as the first collaboration between Dave and G-Eazy. Powered up by production from none other than Mike WiLL Made-It [Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé], these two top-tier rappers ignite an energetic lyrical volley. Following confident and catchy verses, the momentum builds towards an instantly chantable chorus, “When they see me in the street, they be calling out my name. Back the fuck up, they keep fogging up my frames.” Meanwhile, the video visually projects this vibe.

About the song, Dave said, “That joint is a bop. It’s a different tempo and sound I’ve never tapped into. I’m bragging, and you can’t shut me up! I’d never collaborated with G-Eazy before, and it was mad fun.”

Meanwhile, Fortune Favors The Bold sees Dave level up all around. The hooks hit harder, and the stories cut deeper as he delivers a potent, pummeling, and powerful body of work. The title was inspired by one of the tattoos on Keanu Reeves in the John Wick film franchise.

“I Googled John Wick’s tattoo,” he goes on. “I thought about what Fortune Favors The Bold meant to me, and it totally fit the album. I had to be bold to continue doing what I’m doing and dealing with all of the hate, the love, and the shit I’ve dealt with. I never let it affect my journey. I’ve seen a lot of fortune I didn’t know I was going to see by being bold and not taking ‘No’ for an answer. This is a statement.”

He initially bulldozed the way for the record with “Rich Problems.” It has already amassed 220K Spotify streams and 469K YouTube views on the music video. Right out of the gate, HotNewHipHop hailed it as “a hard-hitting new song that delivers exactly what it promises,” and HipHopDX proclaimed, “the track hears him get reflective as he raps about how fame and glamour have tried to corrupt him over the years.” In addition to plugs from the likes of Rap Radar and more, The Source put it best, “‘Rich Problems’ showcases Dave East’s lyrical prowess and ability to blend personal reflection with captivating visuals seamlessly.”

Get ready for Dave to spit truth on Fortune Favors The Bold, July 14th.
