3vd has shared a fresh new release called “My Bad”, ahead of an anticipated new video. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and its surrounding areas, 3vd grew up in a house with five other siblings. He began writing when he was only 8 years old and incorporates elements of pop and R&B into his music to create a unique and timeless sound. In addition to writing and performing music, 3vd produces and engineers, something that sets him apart from other rappers his age. Hot off the heels of his well-received release “Euphoria” and “Man on a Mission”, “My Bad” continues his run of eclectic, versatile tracks and marks another notch in a solid 2023 for him.

“My Bad” contains an atmospheric soundscape built upon watery keys that drift smoothly atop crisp, trap-laced percussion. Atop the airy instrumentation, 3vd shines as a vocalist with melodically-tinged inflections and catchy lines, bolstered by booming, pillowy 808s. Memorable and sharply-crafted, “My Bad” is a strong new offering from the Ohio up-and-comer that blends R&B with hip-hop and pop for a colorful new track.

The latest from 3vd, “My Bad” continues a prolific run for him and has us excited for the new visual, which has been building much anticipation from his fanbase. Give “My Bad” a listen below and connect with 3vd on social media platforms for more as well.

Detroit’s ever-prolific duo Valid and Stretch Money have dropped off a new video for their song “So Divine”, a cut from their acclaimed recent album Bill & Isiah. Continuing their run of stylish, infectious joints that put on for Motor City while also showcasing an array of diverse sounds and styles, “So Divine” is a highlight track from the record that has now been paired with an elegant visual directed by Jerry Reid and Slander King.

A tapestry of shimmering synths drift atop rich bass on the heavenly “So Divine”, produced by Pig Pen. The minimalistic, graceful backdrop leaves plenty of space for the two emcees’ charismatic, poised flows. They sound mature and focused with “So Divine”, adding to the track’s luxurious soundscape with velvety flows and sharp rhyme patterns.

The visual, directed by Jerry Reid and Slander King, makes for a sleek, refreshing accompaniment with nocturnal shots depicting crisp scenes from Detroit. The laid-back video presents a charming, effortless swagger that pairs well with the track’s sonics, making for a cohesive pairing.

The latest from Valid and Stretch Money, “So Divine” makes for a highlight joint from their strong new LP Bill & Isiah. Give it a watch below and further familiarize yourself with Valid and Stretch Money.

Florida-based Recording Artist/Producer Homiletix is gearing up to release one of his best pieces of work this summer. He has been busy securing Billboard chart placements thanks to creating great music with a number of prominent names over the past few years, and he is ready to do even more to elevate his career. He makes progress with the new single, “Toast To My Haters”.

“Toast To My Haters” is Homiletix’s new single that features frequent collaborator Roniel from their group Tribe Life Assassins, and British R&B Vocalist/Musician Carl McIntosh of the legendary group Loose Ends. The track acknowledges those who try to step in the way of the artists’ progression but leaves them on the wayside as their efforts to do damage are futile. The production featured on the track greatly compliments the superb contributions from the talents and is guaranteed to be an enjoyable listen. A promotional campaign will commence prior to the single’s release, and additional content to support it is said to be in the works.

Homiletix’s work has been featured on the Billboard-charting “Tropical Cruise To Jamaica”, “World Hip Hop Unleashed Vol. 2”, and “Smoke Chronicles” compilations. He has also worked with Hip Hop heavyweights K-Solo of the Hit Squad, Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian, Wu-Tang affiliate Solomon Childs, and Stone Paxton of Prodigee Records. He is also a member of the Tribe Life Assassins and Neighborhood Watch Worldwide, who have had various music releases over the years. Working with Carl McIntosh, who has been making music with Loose Ends since the late 1980s, was in the making for a number of years.

“Collaborating with Carl McIntosh is a dream come true,” shared Homiletix. “I grew up listening to Loose Ends, and when it came to making this record, the group had a sound that fitted well with what I was doing. I could never get the sound out of my head, so I immediately jumped on board when the opportunity arrived to work with Carl. He’s one of my top 5 favorite Producers. Loose Ends’ “Look How Long” project carried me through my senior year of high school, and tracks like “Hanging On A String”, “Slow Down”, “Nights Of Pleasure”, and “Choose Me” among others helped to shape the way that I perceived and approached music even to this day. Like Loose Ends’, I’m making music that’s timeless.”

Homiletix looks forward to great support for the single “Toast To My Haters” when it is released on July 4th on all digital music streaming platforms. To stay up to date with Homiletix, follow him on Instagram at @OfficialHomiletix.
