New music from Darci and BEAM out now, stream "Burn" here

July 21, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Cloud Rap, Conscious Rap, Feature, Hip-Hop, Rap, Dark

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Darci landed on our radar years ago with the release of his 2016 single titled “Come Around”. It was at that moment we knew this would be a special project. Since then, the rapper has built up an incredibly diverse discography that features a number of dark, cloud-like singles that showcase the versatility of Darci’s talent. All of which showcase their own unique features and sound palettes that could only be described as mysterious and vibrant. Which at this point clearly distinguishes the artist’s vision and writing style.

With Darci’s latest single titled “Burn”, we’re proud to to say the artist is continuing this trend of innovating as he pushes the boundaries of his own universe. “Burn” is a gentle reminder that Darci is in his own lane and there’s no one else quite like him. We’re excited to hear more from him in the coming months (obviously), but also, we will say that we can only hope to see more music videos from the artist too. With only 1 or 2 under his belt at the moment, we would love to see more of his vision on a larger scale.

In closing, there’s not much else to say when the music is this good. So, check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Darci online to stay up to date and enjoy!

Phoenix based artist group Prime Society delivered an iconic new single last week titled ‘Plans’.

Layto’s ‘My Final Symphony’ is a must-hear

February 13, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Conscious Rap, Hip-Hop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Layto’s ‘My Final Symphony’ is a hip-hop driven production with a laid-back and poetic foundation. Birthed from a place of disempowerment, Layto has this to share about the record:

“It was something I wrote after feeling disempowered in my career. Losing management and parting ways with my team, not having success at the time. I just wrote this record as someone who was contemplating leaving, as a metaphor for leaving music. It’s a woe-is-me record… someone who feels like no one cares about him, he’s forgotten. That’s just how I felt when I wrote it. 

We love the sound and passion Layto brings to the table. ‘My Final Symphony’ is a true reflection of the artist’s vision and creativity and we can’t wait to hear what else he’s working on.

La Fine Equipe's new music video is here and it's a must see! Watch 'What Eva' (feat. Mr. J. Medeiros) here 🎥

January 17, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Conscious Rap, Hip-Hop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Beatmakers, MC’s, and label owners… rising collective La Fine Equipe released their new music video for ‘What Eva’ (feat. J. Medeiros) last week and it’s definitely worth checking out. Gathering influence from the sounds of J Dilla, Mos Def, and Madlib. The sounds curated by the collective are original and exciting.

The four French beat-makers, Oogo, Chomsky, Mr, Gib and Blanka are only a couple months away from releasing their highly anticipated new album in March.

We love the energy and creative output these artist’s possess and we look forward to hearing more from the group in the coming months. Don’t forget to connect with the collective online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"We wanted it to look like a 90s VHS that was put on the VCR. Part of the charm was its fuzzy, imperfect look so apparent during that era. 'What Eva' embodies a strong DIY ethos and we the band, did most of the filming ourselves using a small handheld camcorder. Everything was filmed on location in the supermarket. There are no 3D models. The song and visual is also a homage to the strong visual elements often found in 90s music videos like Mc Solaar's 'New Western' and French hiphop outfit IAM's 'Je danse le Mia'. There is a surreal sequence in the video where we are surrounded by a kaleidoscopic display of supermarket products. To summarize, we had a complete blast filming this". — La Fine Equipe
