Harlem’s Dave East invited 360 MAGAZINE to a private listing experience for his highly anticipated release of HDIGH – How Did I Get Here. We locked ourselves in small private rooms while we listened with Urban Fetes headphones. Soon after, we washed down bites from BK Lobster with specialty cocktails by Jack Daniels and Tres Generaciones Tequila shots.

Around 10 PM, The rapper now actor (Wu Tang: An American Saga) surfaced on the 13th floor at Dropp TV for the celebration. A sea of supporters showed mad love for the story told by David Lawrence Brewster Jr.

HDIGH is an anthem for young people struggling in the streets of New York. With provocative lyricism and exceptional musical production, this EP is solid. Dave East will become an international artist. No wonder Super Bowl half-time acts as Mary J. Blige recruited him as a collaborator for Rent Money.

Another highlight of the evening was a spotting of filmmaker Coodie Simmons from Kanye’s Jeen-Yuhs inside a Hot 97 interview booth.

India Shawn returns with a new music video for “To Change My Mind” from her latest EP BEFORE WE GO.

She recently paved the way for the project with the single “DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART.” Right out of the gate, it amassed over 2 million-plus streams and counting. Attracting praise, NPR described it as “70s nostalgia at its finest, with a stank-face inducing bassline,” and demanded, “Stop playing with our fragile hearts and drop that album!” Meanwhile, YouKnowIGotSoul raved, “‘Don’t Play With My Heart’ is another record that brings us back to the era of great singing and live production,” and Rated R&B wrote, “the glimmering track is dipped in equal amounts of funk and soul, giving a slight nod to the disco era.”

Beyond “DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART” and previously released powerhouse singles “Too Sweet” [feat. Unknown Mortal Orchestra], “Movin’ On” [feat. Anderson .Paak], and “NOT TOO DEEP” [feat. 6lack], Before We Go boasts two new tracks. “Superfine” represents a moment of confidence as she chooses herself over an ex above a head- nodding beat uplifted by guitar. Then, there’s “To Change My Mind.” Her dynamic vocals entwine with ethereal production before another hypnotic hook takes hold. The EP Right now, India is supporting Mayer Hawthorne on the Rare Changes Tour across North America. It stops in Brooklyn tomorrow night, rolls through major cities in the Midwest, and comes to a close with a hometown gig in Los Angeles on December 2. Check out the remaining dates below!
