The Background:

Allstar JR has been rapping since his middle school years, when he and Tee Grizzley founded the rap group All Stars Ball Hard, building a cult following around the city for their hustle-hard anthems. In 2016, after run-ins with the law derailed his hoop dreams, JR released his first mixtape, Get A Bag Or Go Home, emphasizing his unparalleled work ethic and determination to achieve independent success. Get A Bag Or Go Home became JR’s signature mixtape series, inspiring the name of his record label, Get A Bag Records. The artist and CEO scored several street hits over the ensuing decade, notably the 2017 single “Cases Pending,” which has millions of streams across platforms. In 2018, as the city of Detroit started to get national notice for its busy rap scene, JR started his second signature mixtape series, Organized Crime, home to his local hit “Million Dollar Thoughts.”

Recently, JR has become one of his city’s dot connectors, fluidly moving between the sounds and scenes that populate the 313. He has collaborated with everyone in the city–he’s equally comfortable talking shop with Icewear Vezzo on “Ice Bag,” engaging in stick talk with Babyface Ray on “3 Macs,” and swapping punchlines with BabyTron on “MMA.” “MMA” appeared on his 2023 album Organized Crime 2, JR’s first release in his partnership with EMPIRE. Last year, JR remained prolific, releasing 4 albums including his solo album Parked At The Bank, featuring appearances from CEO Trayle, Babyfxce E, and Baby Money, Casino Bag 2 with LOM Rudy, and Overlordz Get A Bag with Overlord Scooch.

Stay tuned for Ball Up Top, coming via Get A Bag Records / EMPIRE on June 27th

Video: Kenny Muney – “On Fire“

The South Memphis Rapper Poses With a Llama, Lights a Roadside Bonfire, and Records On His Tour Bus in the Latest Video from New Mixtape Kenjamin Franklin

Critical Praise:

“Kenny’s standout skill is his sense of timing and rhythm. The rapper can do nearly any style or flow out there.” – XXL

“Laced with familiar southern swagger and street tales, the new project solidifies Kenny has a viable name to keep an eye on as the new year creeps up.” – HotNewHipHop

“The South Memphis native has become a master at bodying the braggadocious current Memphis trap sound, while still finding endless ways to make his personal wit and charm stand out on every track.” – Dirty Glove Bastard

The Video:

Kenny Muney has been setting the Memphis streets ablaze with his low-key hustler music for nearly a decade. The Paper Route Empire rapper turns up the heat with his music video, “On Fire,” from the new mixtape Kenjamin Franklin. Produced by Aimonmyneck, “On Fire” layers a passionate vocal sample atop simmering piano chords, providing the kindling for Kenny to get the fire started. In the video, Kenny provides a dispatch from his life of luxury, as he records with baddies on his tour bus and sets a roadside bonfire in the company of llamas.

With production from BandPlay, Yung Hurricane, and others, Kenjamin Franklin reverberates with the sounds of Memphis: soulful vocal samples, bluesy guitar licks, and high-octane trap percussion. The 8-track tape is a showcase for the artist’s wry personality, as he piles punchline after flex-heavy punchline through his satisfied smirk. Album highlight “Tune Up” welcomes a guest appearance from Kenny’s mentor Young Dolph, allowing Kenny to rap with the late legend one more time. Featuring the recent singles “Nevaaa” and “Back In The Bach,” Kenjamin Franklin is available everywhere via Paper Route Empire.

Kenjamin Franklin continues the momentum from last year’s The Blue Seasons Super Deluxe, a 24-track behemoth that proved that Kenny Muney is fly in any weather. The South Memphis native shared several videos from the project, including “My $eason” and “4 Ever Or 4 The Moment,” both filmed during Kenny’s vacation to Finland.

With Kenjamin Franklin out now, it is officially Kenny Muney season.

“That Mexican OT is a consummate entertainer…he underscores how syncretic Texas music has always been, infusing traditions from both sides of the border with his own idiosyncrasies. The result is a brightly colored spectacle, a freestyle brawl of rap styles and regional flavors.” – Pitchfork

“That Mexican OT is having a moment…The 24-year-old from Bay City, Texas, is the latest regional Mexican performer to take over the hearts and minds of a music-loving world. But instead of corridos tumbados y bélicos or longing cumbias, Virgil Rene Gazca, better known as That Mexican OT (the OT stands for “Outta Texas”), is making waves in the world of third coast rap.” – Los Angeles Times

“That Mexican OT looks like a cowboy. But he sounds like a rap star.” – The Washington Post

“OT’s creativity and style is introducing something truly unprecedented to the rap industry and the relatively smaller landscape of Latin rap.” – Houston Chronicle

“The Texas rapper is climbing the charts and bridging generational divides” – SPIN

“His deep bag of flows and lyrical creativity as well as his consistent musical output is impressive.”  – Lyrical Lemonade

“That Mexican OT’s Southern Trap Shines On ‘Lonestar Luchador’…OT (Outta Texas) delivers a charming Southern style partnered with his own Bay City flow that makes ‘Lonestar Luchador’ a must-listen.” – HotNewHipHop

The Video:

He passes a pregnant woman cradling a possum around her neck, a speedboat in a swimming pool, a Capuchin monkey, and several bikini-clad baddies. During Wayne’s verse, OT and Tunechi ride on top of a tank through a field of fire, before the video concludes with a concert at a Texas mansion.

The Background:

That Mexican OT is making sure Texas has a seat secured at the rap table. The Bay City, Texas rapper has burst onto the scene with his unique mix of exuberant, confidence-filled bars and the truck-rattling sensibilities of prime southern rap, mixed with the experimentation of DJ Screw’s signature sludgy chopped-n-screwed sound.

He flaunts a sound that plays just as well globally as it does at the parking lot kickback. The Tejano rapper rose to fame off his legendary linkup with Houston royalty Paul Wall on “Johnny Dang” (300 Million+ Streams), which Pitchfork honored as one of the best 100 songs of 2023. He parlayed that success into his breakout mixtape Lonestar Luchador, which was heralded by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, The Houston Chronicle, Passion Of The Weiss, and more.

Notching tens of millions of streams on hits such as “Hardest Ese Ever,” “Cowboy Killer,” and “Hit List” solidified him as one of the most exciting southern rappers on the come up. With his latest album, Texas Technician, That Mexican OT delivers on the fun and raucous sound that made him, while also showing off a meticulous desire to expand his range.

Video: Eddie Valero – “Superstar“

The Rising Memphis Rapper Asserts His Star Status in the Video For an Isley Brothers-Sampling Highlight From His New Album Gangsta Blues, Available Everywhere In Partnership With ONErpm

Critical Praise:

“In the landscape of contemporary Memphis hip-hop, Eddie Valero’s trajectory is distinguished by his beat selection and narrative prowess. A fusion of street blues, Valero’s sound taps into Memphis’ rich musical legacy, while his lyrical narratives delve into the darker nuances of the city that shaped him. Valero is one of the few up-and-comers to not come under the musical trees of Three 6 Mafia, Yo Gotti or Young Dolph. His rise stands as a testament to his individual artistry and distinct contribution to the Memphis sound.” –HITS DD

The  Video:

Eddie Valero channels his musical heroes to flesh out his stories of hustling and street drama. Today, the Memphis native shares the video for “Superstar,” a highlight from his new album Gangsta Blues. “Superstar” uses a sample of the Isley Brothers song of the same name, its refrain of “you’re a superstar, that’s what you are” affirming Eddie’s boastful bars: “Consistent sh*t, I been working, they peepin’ sh*t heatin’ up,” he spits. In the video, directed by Eddie’s regular collaborator Global Filmz, offers a peek into Eddie’s life since releasing Gangsta Blues, showing clips from his performances with Starlito and Don Trip, his release party in Memphis, and his interactions with fans.

“Superstar” is the latest high quality video to come from Gangsta Blues, following the video for “For The Hood,” a collaboration with 8Ball, of the legendary duo 8Ball & MJG. Spanning 11 tracks, the high-octane album harkens back to all eras of Memphis music, from the country-fried underground rap of the 90s, to the hustle-hard anthems of recent years, reaching all the way back to the blues that made Beale Street famous. Crafted by producers including BandPlay, Luh Ron, and DT Da Kidd, Gangsta Blues is a treat for fans who appreciate 70s soul as much as modern trap, weaving in samples from greats like Curtis Mayfield (on mood-setting intro “60 Dayz“) and The Isley Brothers (on self-assured closer “Superstar“) to animate Eddie’s street stories. Eddie’s resonant rap voice bounces off twangy guitars and speaker-knocking 808s, as he talks his fly sh*t (“Diamonds sing like Johnny Gill,” he says in recent single “New Edition“) and gives glimpses into the darker aspects of his rise. Featuring an additional guest appearance from Starlito, Gangsta Blues is available on all platforms in partnership with ONErpm.

Eddie Valero is currently on the road, opening for Don Trip & Starlito on their “Step Brothers 4 Life Tour” on several dates this summer. The rapper is hard at work at Gangsta Blues (Deluxe), coming this summer.

With Gangsta Blues out now and more music on the way, Eddie Valero is ready to become Memphis’s next big thing. Stay tuned for more.

About Eddie Valero
When you talk about the new generation of Memphis Hip Hop, you have to mention Eddie Valero. Eddie’s beat selection and storytelling have moved him right up the ladder in the city and now he’s the talk of the town from the fans to the OGs. His brand of street blues feels like the familiar sound that the city of Memphis was built on but his brand of street tales definitely define the dark side of the city that raised him. And, he’s one of the few true rap success stories to not come under the musical trees of Three 6 Mafia, Yo Gotti, or Young Dolph.

Born and raised in Memphis, Eddie Valero has built a large audience in his city and beyond the hard way, never compromising his style and eschewing high-profile co-signs on his route to local legend status. Growing up in awe of his city’s OGs, Eddie worked hard at his craft, using his expert beat selection and gritty storytelling to grow his following to over 60k YouTube subscribers. Always confident fans would find him, he started his signature mixtape series, Until They Feel Me, in 2021, releasing 4 installments in all, featuring local hits like “Lero BandPlay” (1.38 million Spotify streams) his hard-hitting collab with the PRE-signed producer. In 2023, he dropped “Flex N Go” with JpOnTheTrack, racking up over 2.5 million YouTube views in the process, and he followed in 2024 with the Undefeated mixtape.

Video: Hurricane Wisdom – “Woosah“

The North Florida Rapper Releases a Triumphant New Single and Music Video As He Prepares to Release the Deluxe for His Hit Project Perfect Storm (Three Weeks on the BIllboard 200)

Critical Praise:

“Wisdom, from Havana (a tiny suburb of Tallahassee), fuses the tropical bounce of Florida street rap with the tenderness in the ballads of Southern and Midwestern truth-tellers. And the instrumental—flickering percussion and scattered, Broward County steel drums, merged with slow-mo, almost G-funk synths—is both melancholic and upbeat at the same time. It’s all rounded out by Wisdom’s raspy melodies, as he seamlessly toggles between no-frills aggression and lilts that hit like a sunshower.” – Pitchfork

“The Havana native broke down the regional barriers of Tallahassee with the twitchy “Giannis” in August, which picked up momentum like the Milwaukee Bucks superstar on a fast break to close out 2024. Hurricane narrates his gritty come-up but also delivers witty one-liners making light of his situation. He compares guns to the size of Giannis Antentokounmpo and jokes about not being good at math, but keeping problem-solvers around – if you catch his drift.” – Billboard

“Hurricane Wisdom Is On His Way To Becoming Rap’s Next Breakout Act” – UPROXX

“Dedicated to cultivating music that aims to uplift and inspire, Wisdom crafts his music for survivors and for the downtrodden soldiers who are giving their all to overcome adversity.” – The Knockturnal

The Video: 

Hurricane Wisdom is captivating fans in the South and beyond with his entrancing melodies. Coming through with his latest tuneful slice of relatable trap, Hurricane shares “Woosah,” a new single and music video. Produced by John Lam, known for his work with Lil Durk and Rod Wave, “Woosah” is plaintive and confessional with a dose of knocking percussion, as Hurricane has fun stringing sounds together: “Woosah, woosah/F*ck the hookah/I saw what I saw/F*ck what you saw,” he croons. In the video, Hurricane Wisdom shares a peek at his tour life, including stops in Atlanta, video gaming, and backstage links with homies, including “Dlow Curry” tourmate 1900Rugrat. “Woosah” follows “Anyways” as the latest singles to followi n the wake of Perfect Storm, Hurricane’s popular mixtape.

Charting on the Billboard 200 for three weeks (#126 peak), Perfect Storm illustrates why Hurricane Wisdom is one of the most exciting artists in Florida’s bustling rap scene. From the opening track, Hurricane delivers addictive melodies and unapologetic lyrics with the kinetic urgency of an artist hellbent on achieving rap stardom. Perfect Storm is home to “Giannis (Remix),” a new version of Hurricane’s 2024 breakout hit with a guest verse from Polo G, and the buzzing single “Drugs Callin,” which has over 12 million views on YouTube. Earlier, Hurricane dropped videos for his high profile collabs, “On God” ft. Raq Baby (3.8 million views) and “Mind Gone” ft. Dthang (2.1 million views). Featuring additional guest spots from Sleepy Hallow, NoCap, Fredo Bang, Skilla Baby, and more, Perfect Storm is available on all platforms via Open Shift Distribution.

Born and raised in Havana, Florida, just 30 minutes from Tallahassee, Hurricane Wisdom earned a big fanbase (207k YouTube subscribers, 369k Instagram followers) with his emotionally honest lyrics and entrancing melodies. His 2024 project Eye Of The Storm featured “Giannis,” a kinetic anthem dedicated to the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, which became Hurricane Wisdom’s biggest hit to date, with over 15 million YouTube views and 6 million Spotify streams. “Giannis” earned rapturous reviews from critics, as well, including Pitchfork, who called the song “the feel-good Florida anthem of the moment” and listed it at #36 on their list of the 100 Best Songs of 2024.

With co-signs from Rod Wave and NLE Choppa, a recent opening slot on tour with BossMan Dlow, and coverage in Billboard, BET, UPROXX, and more, the conditions are perfect for Hurricane Wisdom to make a major impact on the rap game. Keep an eye out…a storm is coming.

The Background:

Fusing expressive church vocals with themes of optimism and perseverance, Hurricane Wisdom makes songs for survivors — anthems that are as spiritual as they are heartfelt. A down-home storyteller, the Florida native serves up motivational soundtracks for everymen with dreams of sunnier days; his music gives them the resolve to get there. It’s an artistic approach as much as it is a mission, and it’s earned him a growing legion of fans, cosigns from Rod Wave and NLE Choppa, and status as one of the most potent young voices in the South East. It’s a position he reinforces with “Hard Knock Life,” an engrossing rumination on the struggle of the hopeful underdogs. His blurry melodies spill out like teardrops even as his lyrics spell out danger. Through it all, he’s swirled themes of aspiration with tales of frayed friendships and other blockboy hazards while showcasing an inborn sincerity — and a heightened humanity — that connects soul to sound and listeners to love.

Since breaking out with “Granny’s Baby” in 2020, he’s cultivated a sizable buzz with projects like Hurricane Season (2021), State of Emergency (2022) and Category 5: The Biggest Hurricane (2023), with each new release earning more streams than the last. To date, he’s collaborated with the likes of NLE Choppa, SpottemGottem, NoCap, Luh Tyler and more as he’s proven his ability to infuse songs with empathy that soars above genres or classifications. Looking ahead, Hurricane wants to continue to be a voice for the people who don’t have one. The beats will change and his songwriting skills will grow, but it will all be rooted in a spirit of mutual understanding. “At the end of the day, I just try to make shit that people can relate to as humans,” he says. “We’re all human.”

FBLManny Takes to the Skies With Airplane Mode EP, Out Now on All Platforms

The 21-Year-Old ATL Rapper Shares “Nonstop,” the New Video for an EP Highlight

The Follow-Up to Manny’s Recent Collaborative Project With OMB Peezy, OverKrash, Airplane Mode is a 7-Track Showcase for the Young Rapper’s Prodigious Melodic Talents

The EP + Video:

FBLManny is rising in Atlanta with his soulful and melodic trap anthems. The 21-year-old rapper proves that the sky is the limit with Airplane Mode, his new EP. Aided by the soundscapes of producer Enzo Da$h, who had a hand in 6 of the EP’s 7 tracks, Airplane Mode is a confessional document from an artist in the midst of a life-changing moment–after all his hard work, his rap star dreams are on the verge of coming true. Expressing himself with soaring melodies, the young artist celebrates his high-flying lifestyle on songs like the stutter-stepping “Rainbow Wrist” and the shimmering “Button Boyz,” touting the APs on his wrist and the V6 in his foreign car. On more reflective singles, like the recent single “Airplane Mode,” FBLManny explores the flip side of fame, struggling with the expectations that come with making it out of his hood and bristling at the rockstar lifestyle’s lack of privacy. Quickly following up OverKrash, Manny’s joint mixtape with mentor OMB Peezy, Airplane Mode EP is available on all platforms via FBL Entertainment / Hitmaker Music Group.

Along with the EP, Manny shares the music video for “Nonstop,” an Airplane Mode highlight. Blessed with a beat by Enzo Da$h and Fursace, “Nonstop” is a simmering slice of melodic trap, with booming 808s, twinkling chimes, and gently-plucked guitars providing a runway for Manny to take off. The rapper pays tribute to forebears like Migos and Roddy Ricch before he touts his unshakeable work ethic: “I’m working nonstop/Gripping on glocks, see the cops I won’t stop,” he asserts. In the video, directed by Fursace, Manny shoows off his life of luxury, as he raps from his mansion’s balcony and displays the suicide doors on his foreign cars.

21-year-old FBLManny is well on his way to success, popping in Atlanta with regional hits like “Patrick Bev” and collaborating with fellow risers like Raq Baby. A young OG, Manny started rapping when he was just 10 years-old, recording songs in his living room under the watchful eye of his mom. Manny dropped his first project, U Know The Vibes, as a 16-year-old in 2019, and has followed with several accomplished tapes, including 2025’s Cat Music 3. In May 2025, FBLManny teamed up with OMB Peezy to release OverKrash. Driven by Peezy’s soaring triplets and Manny’s taffy-like vocals, OverKrash is a heartfelt and motivational effort, speaking directly to those in the struggle with relatable narratives and ushering them forward with invigorating words of wisdom.

Now, with Airplane Mode EP and OverKrash out, and with much more music on the way, Manny is ready to make a name for himself on the national scene. Stay tuned for more.

The Background:

A collision of stylish melodies and visceral reality raps, OMB Peezy and FBLMANNY deliver aspirational theme songs for the trenches. After building their respective fan bases, the two blend their talents for OverKrash, an electric constellation of pummeling anthems and streetwise lyricism. It’s music to crash out to. But it’s just as much about the relentlessness of the hustle, a theme the two reflect on for “New Dallas,” a kinetic single from their new joint project. Coated in expressive melody and lucid blockboy recollections, it’s all as confrontational as it is anthemic — a throughline for artists savvy enough to make it out the other end of a crash out. Years before they connected professionally, Peezy and FBLMANNY made their respective ways through the industry. By 2017, Peezy had developed a niche as one of the most distinctive artists in hip-hop — an Alabama-bred, Bay Area-based spitter with a Boosie-tinged vocality and a knack for trenchant street poetry. Since then, projects like Young & Restless (2018), Preacher to the Streets (2019), In the Meantime (2020), Misguided (2022), Still Too Deep (2024), and Drifting Away (2025) only fortified his fanbase, which was again reignited when GloRilla remixed his breakout single, “Lay Down,” eight years after its release. For his part, FBLMANNY has used vivid songwriting and a knack for melody to power his own rap level up, with projects like U Know The Vibes (2019), Me Vs. Me (2023), Crash the System (2024), and Cat Music 3 (2025) making him an emerging force in the ATL. Connecting from Alabama to Cali to Atlanta, Peezy and FBLMANNY look forward to the places their OverKrash can take them. “We’re bringing ourselves into different worlds,” says Peezy. “We’re jumping through dimensions.”

Kee Nola Continues to Connect Alt-Rock and Hip-Hop With New Single “Can’t Get Enough“

Influenced by Future and Nirvana, Among Others, the Rapidly Rising New Orleans Native Keeps the Momentum Going from His 2025 Tape, PARTYLAND, Home to the Viral Single “Party Girl” (21+ Million Streams)

Critical Praise:

“Kee Nola is a hip-hop artist hailing from Louisiana who landed on the map with songs like ‘Party Girl’ and ‘Demon Girl,'” – Noisey

“…moody melodies and immersive beats enhance the emotional depth of the lyrics.” – Hot 97

The Song:

A genre-omnivorous musical obsessive who produces, plays music, sings, and raps, Kee Nola is the real deal. The New Orleans-born artist continues to toe the line between hip-hop and alt-rock with “Can’t Get Enough,” his new single. Blending the chugging guitars and sinister atmosphere of nu-metal and grunge with the soaring melodies of ’10s SoundCloud rap, “Can’t Get Enough” is a sneering screed aimed at his haters, whose negativity fuels his desire to go even further to prove them wrong: “I can’t get enough, get enough, get enough, get enough, it’s like dope,” he intones. Along with the recent emo-trap single “Problematic,” “Can’t Get Enough” will appear on Kee Nola’s next EP, coming this summer via EUROVZN / NEWWRLD.

Kee Nola is breaking out in a big way this year, on the heels of the viral “Party Girl.” Released early this year, “Party Girl” has become one of the year’s most exciting underground hits, generating over 21 million streams to date, including 3 million on its YouTube video. “Party Girl” can be found on PARTYLAND, his latest mixtape, in April, along with other buzzing singles like “NEXT BESTFRIEND” and “Late To The Party.” Spanning 11 tracks, the mixtape is a collection of anthems for parties and the moments that come after, dripping with regret and heartbreak, yet radiating a defiant will to power through life’s hardships.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Kee Nola is a musical omnivore, inhaling music of all genres and incorporating them into his sound. He grew up playing music, becoming skilled with the piano, guitar, and drums, before learning how to produce beats on his own. Kee is equally inspired by the musical styles of 90s rock–he is a particular fan of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain–and ’10s SoundCloud rap, combining them into his own intoxicating style. Last month, Kee stopped by On The Radar, backed by a live band, to perform a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” earning praise from Noisey and others. Most recently, Kee shared the music video for “Problematic,” an action-packed short film inspired by Blade, the Wesley Snipes-starring 1995 classic.

With PARTYLAND out now via EUROVZN / NEWWRLD, and a new, alt rock-leaning EP on the way, Kee Nola is preparing to hit the mainstream. Stay tuned for much more from Kee Nola very soon.

The Background:

JayDon Heats Up the Summer With His New Single “Boujee Baby,” Featuring NY Rapper Zeddy Will

Stream HERE

Recently Named Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month for June 2025, The 17-Year-Old Artist Continues His Rise to Stardom With an Uptempo R&B Jam, Showing Off His Immaculate Vocals and Nimble Delivery

Critical Praise:

“JayDon — who voiced young Simba in the 2019 photorealistic remake of The Lion King — delivers a terrific vocal performance, intimately capturing the process of taking accountability while asking for forgiveness.” – Billboard

“…this multi-talented artist is proving he’s a force across both film and music… No studio, no autotune—just raw talent.” – ThisIsRNB

The Song:

A rising triple-threat in the world of R&B, 17-year-old JayDon is the genre’s next big thing. Shortly after being named Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month for June 2025, the multi-talented prodigy bumps up the tempo for his latest love song, sharing “Boujee Baby,” available everywhere via mega/gamma. Produced by Blaq Tuxedo, “Boujee Baby” layers helium-pitched vocal samples and spritely piano over the skittering hi-hats and thunderous 808 kicks of drill music, giving JayDon’s odes to his high class new love interest a pleasing forward propulsion. The song features an appearance from NY rapper Zeddy Will, who complements JayDon’s vocal theatrics with a charming, fast-paced verse of his own.

JayDon’s hot streak started last fall with “Ah! Ah!“ ft. 310babii, continuing in 2025 with the romantic ballad “Lullaby“ ft. Paradise and the USHER-sampling “I’ll Be Good.” “Lullaby” especially connected in South Korea, where it reached the top of South Korea’s Spotify Viral 50, remaining at the top of the chart for multiple weeks (it currently sits at #8), and has made in impact in other Asian markets, including China and Taiwan. “I’ll Be Good” earned praise from Billboard, BET, Rated R&B, and more, and inspired a choreography-heavy music video (750k views). Most recently, JayDon shared an artful video for “Lullaby,” with direction from Maseo Refuerzo. All four singles will appear on Me, My Songs, and I, JayDon’s debut EP, coming later this year.

Born JD McCrary, JayDon might be young, but he has a remarkable resume–he’s been captivating audiences as an actor, dancer, and singer for over a decade while cementing himself as an artist for any era. JayDon broke onto the scene with performances on NBC’s Little Big Shots and collaborated with Childish Gambino on the iconic album Awaken, My Love!, which they performed together at the 2018 Grammys at the tender age of 9. With viral covers like his rendition of The Jackson 5’s “Who’s Loving You,” JayDon has quickly earned fans worldwide. At 10-years-old, he was the youngest male solo artist to sign with Disney/Hollywood Records, leading to his role voicing Simba in the 2019 live-action The Lion King. Later on, JayDon starred as Kenny Payne in the hit TV series The Paynes.

Though he has a skill for acting, which he demonstrates in many of his music videos, music has remained his passion. In the new chapter of his career, JayDon is determined to blow up and become one of his generation’s most vital artists. Stay tuned for Me, My Songs, and I, coming later in 2025.

Meet Stunna Sandy, the Brooklyn Rapper Whose Viral Single “Make It Look Sexy” Has The Internet Buzzing

Making Waves From the Streets to TikTok, the Egyptian-American Starlet Topped Viral Charts With Her SZA-Approved Debut Single (3.2 Million Streams to Date), Out  Now via Courtesy Of Records

The Rundown:

After a long and harsh winter, New York has approached summer in fits and starts, with gloomy cloud cover and seemingly nonstop precipitation. Accordingly, the City has not yet selected its Song of the Summer–that one hit NYC residents will hear blaring out of boomboxes and through the windows of nearly every car. Luckily, New Yorkers won’t have to look far: Brooklyn’s own Stunna Sandy is here with “Make It Look Sexy,” a breezy and confident banger primed to heat up the season.

Growing up in Crown Heights as a child of Egyptian immigrants, Stunna Sandy developed a strong work ethic from an early age, dedicating herself to her studies, while developing her interest in music and sports. A natural beauty–hence her artist name–Sandy naturally drew people to her, both IRL and online, where she racked up over 20,000 Instagram followers and even more on TikTok before releasing her first single. She decided to pursue music full-time in late 2023, after a fateful studio session exposed her alluring and nimble rap voice.

In 2024, Stunna Sandy drew the attention of industry executive Solomon Sounds. Solomon helped lead Sandy to Courtesy Of Records, the new label formed by industry vets Solomon Sounds, Daniel “Birdman Zoe” Desir, Saint Harraway, and Ryan Ruden, who released her debut single, “Make It Look Sexy,” in early September 2024, in partnership with Rebel. Produced by TheRechordz, Hvcks & Jupyter, “Make It Look Sexy” is a sleek slice of cloud rap, combining whimsical plugg melodies with boosted 808s and ethereal harps. Radiating a relaxed self-confidence, Sandy slices through the atmosphere with her blasé bars, rattling off a succession of memorable lines with ease: “My shooter boom you like Baghdad/He f*ck around and turn you to a hashtag/You can find me where the bag at,” she purrs.

Building steadily over the past several months, “Make It Look Sexy” has evolved into an organic viral smash, taking the internet by storm. The song became a versatile sound on TikTok, soundtracking countless GRWM videos and inspiring folks to become their sexiest selves. In May, the song caught fire as it became the theme song for Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns and his unique hooping style, scoring countless edits of the All-NBA center’s highlights. Stunna repaid fans’ attention by rocking a custom-altered KAT jersey to a Knicks playoff game at Madison Square Garden. The song earned her co-signs from stars like SZA and NBA player Jared McCain, and racked up nearly 150k creates on TikTok to date, with over 40k videos coming in the past two weeks. The song’s TikTok success propelled it to Spotify’s Viral 50 chart, and it placed in the Top 20 of TikTok’s Weekly Top 50 and at #1 on TikTok’s Hip-Hop/R&B chart. “Make It Look Sexy” is racking up over 150k daily streams across platforms, with an 80k peak on Spotify alone, has amassed a total of 3.2 million to date, and received editorial placement on playlists like Spotify’s Most Necessary and Fresh Finds (which included Stunna Sandy as the playlist’s cover artist).

“Make It Look Sexy” had everyone speculating about Stunna Sandy’s next move, and in early June, she treated fans to a totally different vibe: the sultry new single “BBC.” With over NUMBER streams in less than two weeks, “BBC” signals Sandy’s desire to keep pushing her sound forward and her resolution to never be shy about what she really wants.

With much more music on the horizon, over 630k catalog streams per week, and a growing fanbase in her corner, Stunna Sandy is ready to become NYC’s next “It Girl.” Stay tuned.

The Red Hot Bay City, Texas Rapper Prepares a 24-Date Tour, On The Heels of His Recent Lil Wayne Collaboration “Baby Mad At Me”

Critical Praise:

“That Mexican OT is a consummate entertainer…he underscores how syncretic Texas music has always been, infusing traditions from both sides of the border with his own idiosyncrasies. The result is a brightly colored spectacle, a freestyle brawl of rap styles and regional flavors.” – Pitchfork

“That Mexican OT is having a moment…The 24-year-old from Bay City, Texas, is the latest regional Mexican performer to take over the hearts and minds of a music-loving world. But instead of corridos tumbados y bélicos or longing cumbias, Virgil Rene Gazca, better known as That Mexican OT (the OT stands for “Outta Texas”), is making waves in the world of third coast rap.” – Los Angeles Times

The Background:

That Mexican OT is making sure Texas has a seat secured at the rap table. The Bay City, Texas rapper has burst onto the scene with his unique mix of exuberant, confidence-filled bars and the truck-rattling sensibilities of prime southern rap, mixed with the experimentation of DJ Screw’s signature sludgy chopped-n-screwed sound.

He flaunts a sound that plays just as well globally as it does at the parking lot kickback. The Tejano rapper rose to fame off his legendary linkup with Houston royalty Paul Wall on “Johnny Dang” (300 Million+ Streams), which Pitchfork honored as one of the best 100 songs of 2023. He parlayed that success into his breakout mixtape Lonestar Luchador, which was heralded by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, The Houston Chronicle, Passion Of The Weiss, and more.

Notching tens of Millions of streams on hits such as “Hardest Ese Ever,” “Cowboy Killer,” and “Hit List” solidified him as one of the most exciting southern rappers on the come up. With his latest album, Texas Technician, That Mexican OT delivers on the fun and raucous sound that made him, while also showing off a meticulous desire to expand his range.

Allstar JR Shares the New Music Video For “Ball,” Prepares For His 6/27 Ball Up Top Album

The Get A Bag Records CEO Prepares to Go Iso in the New Single and Music Video As He Prepares His Next Album, Ball Up Top

Critical Praise:

“There’s something to be said about Detroit rap right now, and Allstar JR is proving to be a mainstay.” – Billboard

“…he’ll leave you making a stank face.” – The FADER

“Allstar JR continues to peel back layers and provide good music along the way, further showing Detroit is a hotbed for talent and he is a name you cannot leave out of the discussion.” – VIBE

The Video:

Allstar JR is well-respected in the Detroit scene for his sharp punchlines and outlandish flexes. In his new single and music video, “Ball,” the Eastsider challenges all comers on the court and behind the mic. Featuring ghostly vocal samples and thudding Michigan drums, “Ball” is a peek into JR’s high-rolling lifestyle, touting extravagances that even regular flexers couldn’t dream of: “I’m gonna ball on n****s who ball on n****s,” he asserts. In the video, directed by Diego, JR stops into Detroit Central High to watch the basketball team put up numbers, as he plots his Motown takeover.

“Ball” is the latest release on the road to Ball Up Top, JR’s upcoming album. Home to recent singles “I’m The Guy,” “Baby Momma Vision Board” ft. BabyTron, and “I Ain’t Made It Yet” ft. Peezy (500k+ YouTube views), Ball Up Top arrives on June 27th via Get A Bag Records / EMPIRE.

Allstar JR has been a fixture in the Detroit scene for more than a decade. The Eastside native has been rapping since his middle school years, when he and Tee Grizzley founded the rap group All Stars Ball Hard, building a cult following around the city for their hustle-hard anthems. In 2016, after run-ins with the law derailed his hoop dreams, JR released his first mixtape, Get A Bag Or Go Home, emphasizing his unparalleled work ethic and determination to achieve independent success. Get A Bag Or Go Home became JR’s signature mixtape series, inspiring the name of his record label, Get A Bag Records. The artist and CEO scored several street hits over the ensuing decade, notably the 2017 single “Cases Pending,” which has millions of streams across platforms. In 2018, as the city of Detroit started to get national notice for its busy rap scene, JR started his second signature mixtape series, Organized Crime, home to his local hit “Million Dollar Thoughts.”

Recently, JR has become one of his city’s dot connectors, fluidly moving between the sounds and scenes that populate the 313. He has collaborated with everyone in the city–he’s equally comfortable talking shop with Icewear Vezzo on “Ice Bag,” engaging in stick talk with Babyface Ray on “3 Macs,” and swapping punchlines with BabyTron on “MMA.” “MMA” appeared on his 2023 album Organized Crime 2, JR’s first release in his partnership with EMPIRE. Last year, JR remained prolific, releasing 4 albums including his solo album Parked At The Bank, featuring appearances from CEO Trayle, Babyfxce E, and Baby Money, Casino Bag 2 with LOM Rudy, and Overlordz Get A Bag with Overlord Scooch.

JR is primed for a level-up in 2025, as he prepares to release his most accomplished music to date. Stay tuned for much more from the Eastside baller very soon.

The Detroit Heavy-Hitter Shares the Video for Album Highlight, “Ten“

The West Side Native Continues to Deliver Hustle-Hard Anthems For His City, Welcoming Guests Including Rio Da Yung OG, Skilla Baby, Chicken P, OMB Peezy & G.T.

Critical Praise:

“Lifted by the recent success of Icewear Vezzo, Babyface Ray and Baby Money, Motor City hip-hop is gaining steam.” – Billboard

“Along with crafty bars, much of what has made Baby Money successful behind the mic has been a very authoritative tone he has in his voice. You feel his energy behind the bars just as clearly as you see the picture he’s lyrically painting. Whether he’s rapping about getting money or going against his opps, he makes you feel like you’re doing it all with him.” – Detroit Metro Times

“The slick-talking Detroit rapper is all flash and swag, and he’s an expert at making the listener feel broke” – Pitchfork

“Baby Money is a sharp, technical rapper with a good sense of humor who spits about making money and showing off as if it’s second nature” – XXL

“Along with fiery bars, much of what has made Baby Money successful has been his very commanding tone of voice. You feel his energy behind the lyrics just as clearly as you see the picture he’s painting.” – Okayplayer

Stream HERE | Watch HERE

Tre Loaded’s Collaboration With 03 Greedo Follows LOADED (Deluxe) as the Latest Step in the Memphis Rapper’s Rise to the Top

Critical Praise:

“The East Memphis rapper brings bouncy trap beats & old school swagger to his music.” – Genius

“Tre Loaded has been making a name for himself over the past couple years.” – Stereogum

“Tre Loaded is looking to follow in the footsteps of Memphis greats like Key Glock, Young Dolph, Moneybagg Yo, NLE Choppa, and more with his newest LP, LOADED. His newest project features 12 tracks with endless bravado, proving the young emcee will be around for a long time.”  – Rap-Up

“Tre Loaded has successfully positioned himself among the esteemed ranks of Memphis’ musical icons. …Tre makes evocative trap music that reflects the reality of the streets, and relates to Gen Z fans worldwide.” – The Tennessee Tribune

“Rapidly rising rap renegade Tre Loaded views his burgeoning career like a proud new papa because he financed his own embryonic career.” – Rolling Out

“Tre Loaded is one of the hottest new talents on his way to the top with videos soaring into the millions and three mind-boggling mixtapes doing numbers right out the gate.” – Grip Magazine

The Announcement:

Tre Loaded is building a reputation across the rap game as one of Memphis’s most promising young talents. Today, the 22-year-old rising star earns a major stamp of approval from an L.A. legend, as he teams up with 03 Greedo for Memphis to L.A., a new 2-pack. The sumptuous new double single deposits Tre into Greedo’s sonic realm, with lush keys and airy synths providing a launching point for the young rapper to play the role of a ladies’ man. Tre’s Memphis drawl is a perfect fit in this milieu, meshing nicely with Greedo’s taffy-like melodies. Arriving with a new video for “You Got It” ft. Kalan.FrFr, Memphis to L.A. is available everywhere via Loaded 4 Life/PULSE Records/Connect.

Produced by AusGod and RedLuke, “You Got It” is a street love song, as the unlikely trio of Tre, Greedo, and Kalan take turns praising the baddies in their lives over vintage soundscapes and laid-back West Coast percussion. In the video, directed by SumpDidIt, the trio of lotharios hang backstage with some of L.A.’s baddest. The second track on Memphis to L.A., “Take My Time” keeps the vibe going, as Greedo delivers a languid hook and Tre delivers one of his smoothest verses to date.

Memphis to L.A. follows the release of LOADED (Deluxe), home to the  “Another Whip (Remix)” featuring BigXThaPlug, as well as recent singles like the slinky “Stuck In The Dirt,” the marching band-enhanced head-nodder “Steppin’,” and the blues-y “GloRilla.” Most recently, Tre shared the tropical video for tape highlight “Do For Me.”

Tre Loaded exploded into the consciousness last year with viral hits and important co-signs, leading to over 50 million catalog streams in 2024 alone. The new single follows in the footsteps of “Another Whip,” a viral hit that generated over 7 million streams across platforms. In the fall, Tre added a verse from his compadre BigXThaPlug to the remix, after joining X on his fast-selling “Take Care Tour” as the direct support. Trending on TikTok and charting on Shazam, “Another Whip” provided a breakout moment for Tre Loaded, and was a highlight from his LOADED mixtape home to singles like “Push Start,” and a guest appearance from That Mexican OT on the trumpet-laden single “The Ticket,” covered by outlets like Stereogum and HipHopDX.

With Memphis to L.A., Tre expands his sonic plaette and proves there isn’t anything he can’t do. Stay tuned for much more from this silky-smooth spitter in the near future.

JayDon Shares New Video For His Simmering R&B Ballad “Lullaby” ft. Paradise

Watch HERE
Stream HERE

The 17-Year-Old R&B Prodigy Gives The Visual Treatment To His Recent Single, As He Prepares to Take Over The Game This Summer

The Video:

With an elite ability to sing, act, and dance, JayDon is R&B’s most talented teenager. The 17-year-old mega/gamma.-signed artist displays all three of his triple-threat abilities in the new video for “Lullaby,” his recent ballad, which has more than 3 million global streams to date. Produced by HARV, a GRAMMY-nominated producer known for hits like Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” and written by HARV and Felisha King, formerly of the R&B group Cherish (“Do It To It”), “Lullaby” is a lush ballad in stately 6/8 time, welcoming a guest appearance from Paradise to accompany JayDon’s virtuosic vocal runs. In the video, directed by Maseo Refuerzo, JayDon continues to be a natural on camera, singing into the camera with a piercing gaze and firing off dance moves that fit seamlessly within the beat’s gentle swing.

The video for “Lullaby” continues JayDon’s rise as an R&B star for the new generation, joining singles like “Ah! Ah!“ ft. 310babii and the USHER-sampling “I’ll Be Good” in demonstrating his immense potential. Earlier this year, JayDon released “Lullaby,” which especially connected in South Korea, where it reached the top of South Korea’s Spotify Viral 50, remaining at the top of the chart for multiple weeks (it currently sits at #8). This Spring, JayDon treated fans to “I’ll Be Good,” incorporating a sample of USHER’s “How Do I Say” and turning into a midtempo banger. “I’ll Be Good” earned praise from Billboard, BET, Rated R&B, and more, and inspired a choreography-heavy music video (750k views). JayDon’s next single, “Boujee Baby” ft. Zeddy Will, arrives later this month. These singles will appear on Me, My Songs, and I, JayDon’s debut EP, coming later this year.

Born JD McCrary, JayDon might be young, but he has a remarkable resume–he’s been captivating audiences as an actor, dancer, and singer for over a decade while cementing himself as an artist for any era. JayDon broke onto the scene with performances on NBC’s Little Big Shots and collaborated with Childish Gambino on the iconic album Awaken, My Love!, which they performed together at the 2018 Grammys at the tender age of 9. With viral covers like his rendition of The Jackson 5’s “Who’s Loving You,” JayDon has quickly earned fans worldwide. At 10-years-old, he was the youngest male solo artist to sign with Disney/Hollywood Records, leading to his role voicing Simba in the 2019 live-action The Lion King. Later on, JayDon starred as Kenny Payne in the hit TV series The Paynes.

Though he has a skill for acting, music has remained his passion. In the new chapter of his career, JayDon is determined to become a defining male pop/R&B star of his generation. Stay tuned for Me, My Songs, and I, coming later in 2025.

Kenny Muney Announces Next Tape, Kenjamin Franklin, Coming June 20th via Paper Route Empire

The South Memphis Rapper Parties Hard in the Video for “Nevaaa“

Kenny Prepares To Follow-Up Last Year’s The Blue Seasons Super Deluxe With Another High-Powered Tape, Home To Recent Single “Back In That Bach”

Critical Praise:

“Kenny’s standout skill is his sense of timing and rhythm. The rapper can do nearly any style or flow out there.” – XXL

“Laced with familiar southern swagger and street tales, the new project solidifies Kenny has a viable name to keep an eye on as the new year creeps up.” – HotNewHipHop

“The South Memphis native has become a master at bodying the braggadocious current Memphis trap sound, while still finding endless ways to make his personal wit and charm stand out on every track.” – Dirty Glove Bastard

The Announcement:

With his locked-in flow and peerless work ethic, Kenny Muney is ready to elevate in the Southern rap scene. Aiming to assert his money-making bonafides beyond a shadow of a doubt, the South Memphis rapper announces his next tape, Kenjamin Franklin. The follow-up to last year’s The Blue Seasons Super Deluxe, Kenjamin Franklin reverberates with the Paper Route Empire rapper’s low-key flexes and sidewinding flows, as he proves he’s as much of a renaissance man as the blue-faced Founding Father who gives the mixtape its title. Home to the recent single “Back In The Bach,” Kenjamin Franklin arrives on June 20th via Paper Route Empire.

Along with the announcement of the tape, Kenny shares “Nevaaa,” his new single. A simmering trap anthem that only Kenny Muney can make, the song is a feast of wry flexes. The rapper relishes in running up the money and promises to never fall off: “Hey, them hunnids go loco, money go crazy, somebody go get me my meds,” he spits. In the video, Kenny gathers his crew in their foreign cars, as they compare jewelry and throw money in the air.

Emerging from hibernation as the weather warms, it’s about to be Kenny Muney season. Stay tuned for much more from the rapper in the coming weeks and months.

In 2020, Kenny Muney connected with his mentor Young Dolph for “No Regrets,” a highlight track from Dolph’s Rich Slave (Deluxe) album. “I’m never satisfied,” says Kenny Muney. “It’s a gift and a curse. I’m always looking for the next step.”

Kee Nola Hunts Vampires in the Video for “Problematic,” His New Alt Rock-Tinged Single

Influenced by Future and Nirvana, Among Others, the Rapidly Rising New Orleans Native Keeps the Momentum Going from His 2025 Tape, PARTYLAND, Home to the Viral Single “Party Girl” (21+ Million Streams)

Critical Praise:

“Kee Nola is a hip-hop artist hailing from Louisiana who landed on the map with songs like ‘Party Girl’ and ‘Demon Girl,'” – Noisey

“…moody melodies and immersive beats enhance the emotional depth of the lyrics.” – Hot 97

The Video: 

Kee Nola, the New Orleans-born singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, uses his natural talent to blend genres and process his pain. The young artist paints with a new color on “Problematic,” his new single, which mixes emo, trap, and more to thrilling effect. Produced by Kee himself, “Problematic” draws power from a hard-edged synth riff, laid over halftime trap percussion, enhanced by Kee’s charging melody. Kee sings about his trust issues, as he self-medicates and steels himself to prevent future heartbreak: “Bad h*es made my heart cold,” he sings.

Directed by Maxii, the video draws inspiration from films like Blade and Underworld, following Kee as a baddie brings him to an underground rave. Things are not quite what they seem: the woman bares fangs, and Kee finds himself surrounded by bloodsucking vampires. Unfazed, the 21-year-old artist makes like Wesley Snipes, unloading on the creatures of the night with his trusty shotgun.

“Problematic” is Kee Nola’s first new single since releasing PARTYLAND, his latest mixtape, in April. Spanning 11 tracks, the mixtape is a collection of anthems for parties and the moments that come after, dripping with regret and heartbreak, yet radiating a defiant will to power through life’s hardships. The tape is home to singles like “NEXT BESTFRIEND,” “Late To The Party,” and “Party Girl,” Kee’s viral breakout hit. Released early this year, “Party Girl” has become one of the year’s most exciting underground hits, generating over 21 million streams to date, including 3 million on its YouTube video.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Kee Nola is a musical omnivore, inhaling music of all genres and incorporating them into his sound. He grew up playing music, becoming skilled with the piano, guitar, and drums, before learning how to produce beats on his own. Kee is equally inspired by the musical styles of 90s rock–he is a particular fan of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain–and ’10s SoundCloud rap, combining them into his own intoxicating style. Last month, Kee stopped by On The Radar, backed by a live band, to perform a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” earning praise from Noisey and others.

With PARTYLAND out now via EUROVZN / NEWWRLD, and a new, alt rock-leaning EP on the way, Kee Nola is preparing to hit the mainstream. Stay tuned for much more from Kee Nola very soon.

Video: Eddie Valero – “For The Hood” ft. 8Ball

The Rising Memphis Rapper and Southern Rap Legend Connect to Pay Tribute To Their Home Neighborhood of Orange Mound in the Latest Video From Eddie’s New Album Gangsta Blues, Available Everywhere In Partnership With ONErpm

Critical Praise:

“In the landscape of contemporary Memphis hip-hop, Eddie Valero’s trajectory is distinguished by his beat selection and narrative prowess. A fusion of street blues, Valero’s sound taps into Memphis’ rich musical legacy, while his lyrical narratives delve into the darker nuances of the city that shaped him. Valero is one of the few up-and-comers to not come under the musical trees of Three 6 Mafia, Yo Gotti or Young Dolph. His rise stands as a testament to his individual artistry and distinct contribution to the Memphis sound.” – HITS DD

The  Video:

A master of understated flexes and aspirational street storytelling, Eddie Valero will never forget where he comes from. The Memphis riser connects with a legend from his city on “For The Hood,” his new music video. “For The Hood” is a tribute to Eddie’s home neighborhood of Orange Mound in Southeastern Memphis, which was the first U.S. neighborhood to be built by African-Americans, and once had the largest population of Black folks in the U.S. outside of Harlem. The song features a guest appearance from 8Ball, of the legendary duo 8Ball & MJG, also an Orange Mound native. Rhyming over a triumphant soul sample, Eddie and 8Ball drip with hometown pride, Eddie toe-tagging the beat with his authoritative drawl, while 8Ball fires off triplets as he passes the Memphis rap torch to Eddie. In the video, directed by Global Filmz, Eddie and 8Ball show off their car collections before posting up at a neighborhood eatery and shining a spotlight on the Mound’s colorful denizens.

“For The Hood” is a highlight from Gangsta Blues, Eddie Valero’s brand new album. Spanning 11 tracks, the high-octane album harkens back to all eras of Memphis music, from the country-fried underground rap of the 90s, to the hustle-hard anthems of recent years, reaching all the way back to the blues that made Beale Street famous. Crafted by producers including BandPlay, Luh Ron, and DT Da Kidd, Gangsta Blues is a treat for fans who appreciate 70s soul as much as modern trap, weaving in samples from greats like Curtis Mayfield (on mood-setting intro “60 Dayz“) and The Isley Brothers (on self-assured closer “Superstar“) to animate Eddie’s street stories. Eddie’s resonant rap voice bounces off twangy guitars and speaker-knocking 808s, as he talks his fly sh*t (“Diamonds sing like Johnny Gill,” he says in recent single “New Edition“) and gives glimpses into the darker aspects of his rise. Featuring an additional guest appearance from Starlito, Gangsta Blues is available on all platforms in partnership with ONErpm.

Born and raised in Memphis, Eddie Valero has built a large audience in his city and beyond the hard way, never compromising his style and eschewing high-profile co-signs on his route to local legend status. Growing up in awe of his city’s OGs, Eddie worked hard at his craft, using his expert beat selection and gritty storytelling to grow his following to over 60k YouTube subscribers. Always confident fans would find him, he started his signature mixtape series, Until They Feel Me, in 2021, releasing 4 installments in all, featuring local hits like “Lero BandPlay” (1.38 million Spotify streams) his hard-hitting collab with the PRE-signed producer. In 2023, he dropped “Flex N Go” with JpOnTheTrack, racking up over 2.5 million YouTube views in the process, and he followed in 2024 with the Undefeated mixtape. Most recently, Eddie shared Just For Y’all, a no frills street tape featuring the buzzing single “Money Locked In.” Eddie Valero is currently on the road, opening for Don Trip & Starlito on their “Step Brothers 4 Life Tour” on several dates this summer.

With Gangsta Blues out now, Eddie Valero is ready to become Memphis’s next big thing. Stay tuned for more.

About Eddie Valero

When you talk about the new generation of Memphis Hip Hop, you have to mention Eddie Valero. Eddie’s beat selection and storytelling have moved him right up the ladder in the city and now he’s the talk of the town from the fans to the OGs. His brand of street blues feels like the familiar sound that the city of Memphis was built on but his brand of street tales definitely define the dark side of the city that raised him. And, he’s one of the few true rap success stories to not come under the musical trees of Three 6 Mafia, Yo Gotti, or Young Dolph.

FBLManny Prepares For 6/20 Airplane Mode EP, Shares Video For the Melodic “Airplane Mode“

Following Up the 21-Year-Old’s  Recent Collaborative Project With OMB Peezy, OverKrash, Airplane Mode Displays the Young Atlanta Native’s Skill With Plaintive Melodies

The Announcement:

Inspired by ATL’s shapeshifting greats, FBLManny turns heads with his distinct melodic sensibilities. The 21-year-old rapper seeks to show off that tunefulness on his upcoming EP, Airplane Mode, coming on June 20th via FBL Entertainment / Hitmaker Music Group.

Today, Manny keeps his momentum going, sharing “Airplane Mode,” his soaring new single and music video. Slicing through airy synths and crisp trap percussion with his plaintive tenor, Manny shuts out all distractions to process his pain and lock into the grind: “Phone on airplane mode, I ain’t even on the plane/Lil’ miss tryna leave, I let her go, keep it goin’ like a train/Mama said she wanna quit her job, so she can pull our range/That’s my dog, so Imma throw the lob, cause he gon’ do the same,” lilts Manny. In the video, the young rapper flexes in an airport terminal, showing off his neck and his wrist and leaving all his worries at baggage claim.

The upcoming Airplane Mode EP quickly follows OverKrash, Manny’s recent joint project with OMB Peezy. Driven by Peezy’s soaring triplets and Manny’s taffy-like vocals, OverKrash is a heartfelt and motivational effort, speaking directly to those in the struggle with relatable narratives and ushering them forward with invigorating words of wisdom. Spanning 13 tracks, The new tape is home to recent singles like “How U Feelin‘,” a theme song for lifelong hustlers, “New Dallas,” a bass-heavy banger, and “Work,” released alongside the project. With production from heavy-hitters like Will-A-Fool and Drum Dummie, OverKrash is available everywhere via Overkill Entertainment/ FBL Entertainment / Blac Noize! / Hitmaker Music Group.

21-year-old FBLManny is well on his way to success, popping in Atlanta with regional hits like “Patrick Bev” and collaborating with fellow risers like Raq Baby. A young OG, Manny started rapping when he was just 10 years-old, recording songs in his living room under the watchful eye of his mom. Manny dropped his first project, U Know The Vibes, as a 16-year-old in 2019, and has followed with several accomplished tapes, including 2025’s Cat Music 3.

Now, with OverKrash out and much more music on the way, Manny is ready to make a name for himself on the national scene. Stay tuned for more.

The Background:

A collision of stylish melodies and visceral reality raps, OMB Peezy and FBLMANNY deliver aspirational theme songs for the trenches. After building their respective fan bases, the two blend their talents for OverKrash, an electric constellation of pummeling anthems and streetwise lyricism. It’s music to crash out to. But it’s just as much about the relentlessness of the hustle, a theme the two reflect on for “New Dallas,” a kinetic single from their new joint project. Coated in expressive melody and lucid blockboy recollections, it’s all as confrontational as it is anthemic — a throughline for artists savvy enough to make it out the other end of a crash out. Years before they connected professionally, Peezy and FBLMANNY made their respective ways through the industry. By 2017, Peezy had developed a niche as one of the most distinctive artists in hip-hop — an Alabama-bred, Bay Area-based spitter with a Boosie-tinged vocality and a knack for trenchant street poetry. Since then, projects like Young & Restless (2018), Preacher to the Streets (2019), In the Meantime (2020), Misguided (2022), Still Too Deep (2024), and Drifting Away (2025) only fortified his fanbase, which was again reignited when GloRilla remixed his breakout single, “Lay Down,” eight years after its release. For his part, FBLMANNY has used vivid songwriting and a knack for melody to power his own rap level up, with projects like U Know The Vibes (2019), Me Vs. Me (2023), Crash the System (2024), and Cat Music 3 (2025) making him an emerging force in the ATL. Connecting from Alabama to Cali to Atlanta, Peezy and FBLMANNY look forward to the places their OverKrash can take them. “We’re bringing ourselves into different worlds,” says Peezy. “We’re jumping through dimensions.”

The Announcement:

Rhyming with a suavity that belies his 22 years of age, Tre Loaded is aiming to be the South’s next big thing. The Memphis rapper shows off his charm in “Do For Me,” the latest video from his recent project, LOADED (Deluxe). Produced by Say Breezy, “Do For Me” is a spritely and soulful rap love song, riding buoyant keys and sweeping strings that evoke the summery bounce of songs like Big Pun’s “Still Not A Player.” Tre Loaded rides the beat with power and finesse, elegantly explaining how he became that dude: “I used to be broke, I ain’t gon’ lie but sh*t it’s been a while,” he smirks. In the video, Tre takes a trip to the tropics of Hawaii, flashing his wrist on a boat and bringing his bankroll into the rainforest.

An expansion of of his 2024 debut mixtape. LOADED (Deluxe) adds 7 songs to the project, most notably the “Another Whip (Remix)” featuring BigXThaPlug, as well as recent singles like the slinky “Stuck In The Dirt,” the marching band-enhanced head-nodder “Steppin’,” and the blues-y “GloRilla.” Continuing Tre’s run as one of Memphis’s most-promising young artists, LOADED (Deluxe) arrives via Loaded 4 Life/PULSE Records/Connect.

Video: Big Moochie Grape – “AB“

The Paper Route Empire Rapper Salutes His Home Neighborhood the Latest Video from EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE), Also Home to Singles “Bad Pill” and “Patrick Mahomes”

Critical Praise:

“Big Moochie Grape is feeling like a champion in these streets” – Billboard

“It’s hard-working hustler music that never lets up, with a beat that never sleeps. Big Moochie Grape makes soundtracks not just for grinding, but for surviving.” – Pitchfork

“[East Haiti Baby is] an impressive body of work from one of Memphis’s strongest frontrunners.” –HotNewHipHop

The Video:

Rising in the South on the back of his “gigantic” personality, Big Moochie Grape reps hard for Paper Route Empire. The East Memphis rapper follows last week’s release of EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE) with the video for “AB,” a Deluxe highlight. Produced by King Ceeo and named after his neighborhood’s Apple Blossom Drive, “AB” gives Moochie the opportunity to speed up his flow, as he flips flex-heavy triplets about his wrist, his whip, and everything in-between: “AP my wrist, could’ve bought me three Hemis/I’m gangster and rich, I’ve been labeled a menace)/I’m back in this bitch and I came with a vengeance,” he raps. In the video, Moochie returns to his home neighborhood, flexing his “AB” chain and his AP watch as he proves who really runs the East Memphis streets.

Featuring hard-hitting production from the likes of BandPlay, King Wonka, and more, EAT OR GET ATE 2 (DELUXE) is the purest distillation yet of Moochie’s relentless Tennessee trap sound, a monument to his self-made status and a chronicle of gigantic flexes. On the apocalyptic “2 Rich 2 Care,” Moochie dismisses his naysayers with nonchalance, touting his wrist, “colder than a Frigidaire,” while on the BandPlay-produced “No Fumbles,” Moochie navigates the landmines threatening to send him back to the trap or the pen at a moment’s notice. The tape features odes to Moochie’s heroes, including all-Pros like “AB,” legendary rappers like “Big Pun,” and symbols of excellence like 3x Super Bowl winner “Patrick Mahomes,” in a single praised by Billboard. Also home to the recent single “Bad Pill,” EAT OR GET ATE 2 (Deluxe) is available on all platforms via Paper Route Empire.

Home to tracks like “Crip Blue Hunnids” (1.6 million YouTube views) and “Wake Em Up,” EAT OR GET ATE 2  earned praise from XXL, The FADER, VIBE, and more. Last month, Moochie returned to the original tracklist to share “Ice Age,” staking his claim as the coldest rapper in the South.

With EAT OR GET ATE 2 (Deluxe) out now, Big Moochie Grape is prepping for a purple summer. Stay tuned for more.

Video: SNUPE BANDZ – “Never Too Much” ft. Yung Skooley

Two Young Memphis Rappers Tour Their City in Style in the PRE Artist’s First New Single Since 2024’s “Blocstar”

Critical Praise:

“..the members of Paper Route Empire reach a level of sincerity and emotional reflection that’s still hard to come by.” – Pitchfork

“The Memphis natives have dropped a raw and street-heavy collab that champions authenticity.” – HNHH

The Video:

A fixture on the Memphis scene who captivates with sly charisma, SNUPE BANDZ always represents for Paper Route Empire. Today, the young rapper teams up with fellow rising emcee Yung Skooley for “Never Too Much,” his new video and single. Driven by an ice cold keyboard riff and twangy guitars, “Never Too Much” is as smooth as SNUPE BANDZ’s flow, as the PRE soldier explains how he outweighs his imitators: “I got money on my on my mantle, n****, drank up in my system/Bank accounts on overload, I got blue racks in my denim,” he spits. In the video, SNUPE and Skooley rock designer as they tour Memphis in a Cybertruck, stopping in the neighborhoods to pay tribute to Young Dolph and visit their supporters.

Signed to PRE by Dolph himself, SNUPE BANDZ makes an impact with each release. He first gained attention with his standout verses on 2021’s label compilation mixtape, PAPER ROUTE iLLUMINATi, stealing the show on songs like “Blue Boyz” and “Nothing To Me.” In 2022, SNUPE connected with his fellow Paper Route Empire rapper Paper Route Woo for BOYZ IN THE HOOD, a sizzling set of Memphis bangers, with guest spots from Bankroll Freddie and Duke Deuce. Last year, the rapper dropped two heavy-hitting singles, the flex-heavy “Blocstar” and the emotional “Scarred,” showing the various facets of the artist’s state of mind.

Hard at work on his next project, SNUPE BANDZ is ready to make good on his promise and become one of his city’s most vital rap stars. Stay tuned for more.

Nija, Jersey’s Finest, Ascends To “Heaven” With a Lush New Ballad

The 3X GRAMMY Award Nominee Twists Melodies Into Appealing Contortions As She Describes a Heavenly Romance In Her Latest Solo Single

Critical Praise:

Three-time GRAMMY Award Nominee

2023 GRAMMY Award Nominee: Songwriter of the Year, Non Classical

Forbes 30 Under 30

Rolling Stone Future 25

“…One of today’s most sought-after songwriters in music.” – ABC News

“…The singer-songwriter fuses the confident swagger of rap with modern R&B, priming herself for a takeover of the music industry.” – Teen Vogue

“In between penning Hot 100-topping hits for Ariana Grande (“Positions) and tracks for Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning Renaissance LP (“Cozy”), New Jersey multi-hyphenate Nija still finds time to write some bangers for herself.” – Billboard

“Now independent and carving her own path, ‘Unruly’ signals the start of an exciting new chapter in her career—one that brings her back to her roots while pushing boundaries in her sound.” – BET

“Nija effortlessly blends R&B and hip-hop drill beats for songs that emphasize a woman’s control in love while slyly hinting at her soon-to-be undeniable impact in the music world as both an artist and songwriter.” – UPROXX

The Song:

Nija made her mark on the pop charts with her superb sense of melody and cheeky innuendos, straddling the line between pop and R&B with finesse and charm. Showing off her vocal chops on a sensuous new single, the Union, NJ-born multi-hyphenate shares “Heaven,” her latest solo single. Soaring atop swelling synthesizers and reverbed snares, Nija radiates confidence and charisma, as she begs her lover to help her feel like she’s “walkin’ on the ceiling.” In the song’s second verse, Jersey’s Finest shows her facility with melody, stretching syllables like taffy as she relates her newfound passion: “I won’t fight it, I want you!/Baby, I want you,” she admits.

Produced by Jack Rochon (Beyoncé, Daniel Caesar), “Heaven” continues a run of solo singles that includes the recent “32nd Floor” and 2024’s “Unruly.” Recounting a penthouse romance, “32nd Floor” earned coverage in UPROXX, VIBE, BET, and more. Inspired by the new East Coast sound, 2024’s “Unruly,” is a confident, bass-heavy single that was the first taste of Nija’s new direction, and harkened back to her origins with a special From The Block filmed in her Jersey hometown. The single earned praise from Billboard, Rated R&B, and BET, who said, “Now independent and carving her own path, ‘Unruly’ signals the start of an exciting new chapter in her career—one that brings her back to her roots while pushing boundaries in her sound.” “Heaven, “32nd Floor,” and “Unruly” will appear on Nija’s next project, the official follow-up to her 2022 debut album, Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You.

Writing smashes since her teenaged years, Nija has established herself as one of the most consistent hitmakers of her generation. She first garnered notice in 2017, when one of her songs earned a placement on EVERYTHING IS LOVE, by Jay-Z and Beyoncé as The Carters. Nija continued to work closely with Beyoncé in 2019, appearing on Bey’s The Lion King: The Gift album, writing on “Water” and appearing on “My Power.” Nija was instrumental in the career of Summer Walker, writing her breakout hit “Come Thru” ft. Usher, and scored her first number one hit in 2020 with “Rain On Me,” performed by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, and repeated the feat later that year with Ariana Grande’s “Positions.” It would be easier to list A-Listers with whom she hasn’t worked, as her list of collaborators includes Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, Young Thug, WizKid, Kehlani, Maroon 5, H.E.R., Lil Durk, Calvin Harris, and many more. The 26-year-old talent built a huge audience on TIkTok, where she shares the secrets of songwriting with her 467k followers.

Now independent and ready to make her own wave, Nija is ready to start a new chapter in her already illustrious career. Stay tuned for more from Jersey’s Finest.

Benji Blue Bills and BNYX® Connect For New Collaborative Project Out The Blue

Stream HERE

The ATL Rapper and Grammy-Nominated Producer Morph Like Power Rangers in the Video for “Morgan”

Watch HERE

Home to the Viral Single “Aye Rage” and “Down Girl,” a Collaboration With Argentine Superstar Duki, the 9-Track Tape Showcases the Chemistry Between Rapper and Producer Over a Variety of Instrumental Styles

Out The Blue cover artwork

Critical Praise:

“What stands out isn’t just Benji’s versatility across different-era beats, but his knack for blending addictive repetition in the right places and breaking off flows into refreshing pockets.” – Complex

“Atlanta’s Benji Blue Bills continues to blow me away with his flow every time I hear him rap.” – Passion of the Weiss

“Rappers To Watch In 2025…Benji Blue Bills recently took over the internet with his catchy hit ‘Aye Rage.’ It’s sure to carry him for the rest of the year and will have fans begging for more music.” – The Root

The Announcement:

Fixtures in the new rap underground, Benji Blue Bills and BNYX® have never been afraid to experiment with their sound. Connecting for the first time on a collaborative tape, the rising ATL-via-DC rapper and the GRAMMY-nominated producer release Out The Blue. The new tape is home to the viral hit “Aye Rage!,” Benji and BNYX’s hit single (created with streamer YourRage), which started life as a spontaneous “Song Wars” collaboration on PlaqueBoyMax‘s stream, and grew into a sizable underground smash with over 10 million streams across platforms. Benji is an ideal guide through BNYX®’s azure-hued sonic world, grounding the producer’s flights of fancy with calm cadences and tight flows.

Stream Out The Blue HERE

Out The Blue uses “Aye Rage!” as a launching pad for Benji and BNYX® to explore a variety of underground sounds. Songs like the floating, melodic “All The Way” and the chaotic “Taco Shells” stay in the Working On Dying sweet spot, with boosted 808s and dancing synth arpeggios. The ethereal “Feels CoreCore” and plugg-influenced “Right Key” demonstrates the pair’s facility with the underground’s softer sounds. Inspired by their connection in the studio, Benji and BNYX® venture even further afield into genres they have always admired, but have not yet had the occasion to try: “I Wonder” employs a lush soul sample, reminiscent of the beats favored by Benji’s 90s rap heroes, while recent single “Down Girl,” a collaboration with Argentine rap superstar Duki, draws from BNYX®’s Haitian heritage with a Kompa-inspired sound.

Along with the tape, Benji and BNYX® share the sci-fi video for tape highlight “Morgan.” Boosted by BNYX’s bouncy 808 bassline, “Morgan” is an instant-party starter, intended to soundtrack house parties and moshpits alike. Benji beckons baddies with reckless abandon, stacking blasé boasts and inciting pandemonium: “If I put that b*tch in Coco, turn her to a 5 star lady/Too much ice, it cause a meltdown, is you f*cking crazy?” he spits.

Directed by Jay Richardson, the video “Morgan” pays homage to the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, parodying the campy kids action show with loving attention to detail. Benji leads a crew of masked warriors (as the Blue Ranger, naturally), taking orders from a disembodied BNYX® (as the inter-dimensional Zordon figure) and teaming up to fight a team of baddies from outer space. At the video’s end, Benji and his crew form a giant blue Megazord-like robot to vanquish the threat once and for all.

Watch “Morgan” HERE

Available now on all digital platforms, Out The Blue releases later this year a limited run (500) of vinyl LPs, CDs, and an Out The Blue coffee table book featuring never-before-seen photos of Benji Blue Bills and BNYX®.

Pre-order physical and the Out The Blue lookbook HERE

A fixture in the game with co-signs from heavy-hitters like LUCKI and Cole Bennett, Benji Blue Bills split time in his youth between Atlanta and Washington, DC, absorbing the sounds of both regions, and adding influences like A$AP Rocky. He caught the attention of the underground with his 2023 mixtape Campaign Blue, and was the subject of heavy industry chatter for his single “IM RIGHT HERE.” Benji kept the momentum going into 2024 with fan-favorite singles like “Santal 33” (10.5 million Spotify streams) and “Load Out” ft. Lazer Dim 700 and his project 500k Degrees. Benji earned viral attention with his “Underground Sound Cypher” (3.5 million Spotify streams), a standout on the popular internet platform’s compilation tape. The Cypher trended on TikTok for multiple weeks and earned positive mentions from tastemakers like Kai Cenat. Early this year, Complex recognized Benji Blue Bills as a 2025 Rapper to Watch.

With Out The Blue out now, Benji and BNYX are ready to set the underground ablaze. It’s a Blue world, and we’re all just living it.

The Background:

Benji Blue Bills’ matter-of-fact raps that act as a delightful contrast to the playful, electronic elements in the beats he selects make him one of the more interesting rappers of today. Learning from hip-hop legends like A$AP Mob in his early days, he widened his network and took that knowledge back to Atlanta. The back-and-forth nature of his upbringing – bouncing between DC and The A – makes him an intriguing hybrid of styles. Spending his formative years in The District before relocating further South in his teens, you can hear elements of both places in his accent and musical delivery. Lucky for him, the two cities he calls home have been fostering some of the most inventive street music in the nation over the past decade.

Since he started, Benji sporadically released music and kept his name hot with big name associates but in 2023 he hit a creative stride. In October he released Campaign Blue, a sixteen-track mixtape where his gravelly voice is supported by chaotic, often otherworldly beats that sound like they’re fresh from a fantasy video game soundtrack. As we look to the future, Benji feels primed to make his mark as the face of a new, wildly creative batch of trap artists from the digital age.

Video: Billy Blue – “Therapy“

Co-Signed by Lupe Fiasco, Who Appears on Album Highlight “Fundamentals,” and Released on Lupe’s 1st & 15th Label, Billy Blue’s New Album Mixes Fly Southern Style and Tight Lyricism to Craft a Compelling Narrative

The Video:

A master of the art of lyrical Southern rap, Miami’s Billy Blue has impressed none other than Lupe Fiasco with his pen game. Processing his trauma through his words, the 1st & 15th-signed artist shares “Therapy,” his new music video. Produced by the legendary Soundtrakk, “Therapy” unrolls lush and soulful canvas for Billy Blue to paint on, with sumptuous bass, ethereal vocal samples, and jazzy horn charts, all adorned with a heartfelt hook sung by C.B. Rhyming in a sensitive drawl, Billy Blue opens his heart, offering a letter to his late mother, without whom he has felt lost. He desperately tries to find a way, finding solace in his children, including his daughter who he named after her, and hoping to stay out of trouble long enough to guide them through life. In the video, Billy takes time to grieve, visiting a therapist and paying tribute to his mom at her memorial site.

“Therapy” is the moving final track from The Life Of Pedro, Billy Blue’s new album. Over the album’s nine tracks, Billy Blue–born Pedritho Dorsonne, to Haitian parents–contrasts the glamorous perception of a rapper’s life with a harsh dose of reality, focusing on the pain as much as the pleasure. Singles “A Broken Love Story” and “Lil Yeah Yeah” illustrate both sides of the coin–the latter illustrates the early days of infatuation with a Miami bounce, while the latter shows how love and lust can curdle into jealousy and hate. The album features an appearance from Lupe Fiasco on “Fundamentals,” as the Miami rapper brings out the MIT professor’s ignorant side: “B*tches want to play, I tell ’em it’s essential/Tell that b*tch to say no more, it’s instrumental,” rhymes Lupe. Featuring an additional guest appearance from B. Howard, The Life Of Pedro is available everywhere via 1st & 15th/Thirty Tigers

The Life Of Pedro is Billy Blue’s first project for 1st & 15th, following a long career as a respected rapper in his city and beyond. Born in New Rochelle, NY to Haitian immigrant parents, Billy moved to Miami when he was 10-years-old. Experiencing periods of homelessness and neglect as a youth, he took the name Billy Blue as a reference to his emotional state (“blue”) and his survival instincts (“Billy” comes from “Billy The Kid”), rapping as a way to exercise his demons and process his situation. He built a reputation for hard-nosed lyricism, crafting local hits like “Riders N Sliders” and earning the attention of hitmakers Timbaland and Akon, who signed him to a joint deal with Interscope Records in 2006. Years later, he has become an expert at navigating the changing tides of the music industry, and he still commands the respect of the game’s greats. In 2024, Lupe Fiasco signed him to 1st & 15th, and brought him as an opening act for his 2024 “Samurai Tour.”

With Lupe in his corner, Billy Blue is out to prove that he still has the lyrical ability to stand with anyone in the game. Stay tuned for more from the veteran rapper as he proves he’s still got it.

The Background:

Billy Blue is a Miami-based artist whose journey to hip-hop mirrors the gritty realities of his life. Born Pedritho Dorsonne in New Rochelle, NY, to Haitian immigrants, he moved to Miami after the tragic loss of his mother at age 10. Experiencing homelessness and neglect, Blue found solace in music, using freestyle battles and storytelling to channel his struggles. These early trials gave rise to his stage name, inspired by the sadness of his youth (“Blue”) and his survival instincts (“Billy the Kid”). Signed to Interscope Records in 2008 through Poe Boy Music Group, Konvict Music, and Mosely Music Group, he built a reputation for his raw lyricism and vivid narratives, earning acclaim for projects like 36 Reasons and collaborations with Lupe Fiasco.

Following years of honing his craft and navigating the music industry, Billy Blue reemerged stronger than ever. Now working with 1st & 15th Records, Blue continues to deliver au- thentic, perspective-driven music. His upcoming EP, The Life of Pedro, showcases his ability to blend Trap Jazz with hard-hitting storytelling, reflecting on love, loss, and redemption through compelling narratives that resonate deeply with listeners. From his early days freestyling on notebooks to opening for Lupe Fiasco on tour, Billy Blue’s music is a testament to resilience and growth, bringing a distinct Miami voice to the world of hip-hop.

The climactic three performances put a fitting button on an eventful day, filled with many other exciting stars. Tito Double P represented for the new generation of corridos tumbados stars, while JHAYCO proved why he is one of reggaeton’s most reliable hitmakers. Early in the afternoon, Sueños treated fans to sets by Omar Courtz and Mexico City rapper Bellakath, two of the most exciting rising stars in Latin music today. On the La Fuente Stage (Presented by Toyota), Deorro drew thousands to Sueños’ newest stage, treating revelers to a succession of surprise guests including Santa Fe Klan, Estevan Plazola and Mexican DJ group 3BallMTY, who returned after performing their own emphatic set on La Fuente just before Deorro shut it down.

THE BACKGROUND:

Sueños Music Festival, founded in 2022, unites the city of Chicago under the banner of incredible Reggaeton and Latin Music. Bringing unprecedented star power to Grant Park and offering spectacular views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, Sueños Festival (translation: dreams), was created to be an inclusive event with a mission to continue to celebrate and uplift Latin culture and the extraordinary music, people, food, and amazing energy that comes along with it.

Sueños takes pride in its meaningful contribution to Chicago’s Latin communities year-round, with a focus on supporting youth initiatives and Latin-owned businesses. This includes a partnership with Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center to develop youth art centers in Chicago’s predominantly Latin neighborhood, Hermosa, along with scholarships and immigration services for Latin communities through its collaboration with Pilsen Neighbors Community Council. Sueños’ ongoing partnership with the National Museum of Mexican Art includes a program to deliver art supplies to aspiring art students, a festival activation that allows young writers from the museum’s youth journalism program to conduct interviews at the festival, and a program that integrates art created by the museum’s youth mural program into the festival. In addition, Sueños has partnered with Puerto Rican Arts Alliance to provide music education programs and studio arts programs for children on the Southwest Side, including Chicago Public Schools’ vital after school and summer programs. Sueños supports Latin-owned businesses in the city through festival partnerships and its 20 Days of Sueños initiative, which shines a spotlight on 20 Latin-owned Chicago restaurants over a 20-day period, further amplifying the talent within Chicago’s Latin communities.

In 2024, Sueños Music Festival contributed $240 million to the Chicago economy and paid $1,992,952 in direct rent payments to the Chicago Park District. Additionally, the festival generated more than $2.01 million in amusement tax revenue for the City of Chicago and Cook County.

Now in its 4th year, Sueños is quickly becoming an institution in the Chicago community and a premier destination for Latin music fans from all around the world. In Fall 2024, Sueños producers C3 Presents and La Familia Presenta, secured a new 5-year deal with the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District, which will allow the Sueños team to continue bringing music lovers together in one of the nation’s most vibrant cities.
