Delivered primarily in their native Ka-ren language, “Miss You Much” is both heartfelt and stylish, a testament to their roots and their rising voices in hip-hop.
From gang life to global stages, Hoodtrophy Bino’s story is one of transformation. After meeting Soulja Boy in jail and joining S.O.D.M.G., he’s turned his pain into power—touring the country and sharing his path through the acclaimed documentary Breaking the Generational Curse.
Bino’s recent performances include a tour with Soulja Boy, a performance alongside Soulja at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, and most recently opened for Trippie Redd at the Ontario Toyota Arena in Los Angeles. Breakout single “I Want Her” with Kalan.FrFr earned national airplay on stations such as SiriusXM The Heat, Power 106, 96.1 The Beat, Power 105 NY, and major platforms like SneakerCon, the LA Clippers, and the Rams. His latest full-length album, CBFW features guest appearances from Lefty Gunplay, NoCap, and more. Bino has also been featured on major outlets including The Breakfast Club, On The Radar, HotNewHipHop, Lyrical Lemonade, and No Jumper just to name a few.
Flycatcher have found their stride. Their blend of twangy indie rock, worn-in emo revival, and road ready anthems built for driving with the windows down hit in a way that feels both surprising and inevitable. On their upcoming full-length, Wrench, the NJ-based band expands on the foundation of their previous releases with a newfound Americana-inspired warmth, leaning into Gregory Pease’s raspy, lived-in vocals to bring it home.
Almost cut from the final record, new single “Flood” became essential once its demo revealed a chorus too massive to ignore. The song details the band’s decision to pursue music knowing the odds and all that comes with them.
On their debut, Parade! Parade!, the San Diego-based trio transform the emo playbook into something weirdly joyful and instantly memorable. The act of “parading,” in the band’s context, is the opposite of wallowing; taking all of your past experiences, good or bad, and using them as a means to appreciate the fact you made it this far at all. With relentless spark and plenty of introspection to go around, Parade! Parade! is perfect for fans of both breakdowns AND breakthroughs.

Pop artist and virtuoso pianist Micah McLaurin has teamed up with viral, chart-topping DJ and producer Majestic (Celine Dion, Charli XCX, Alesso, Zara Larsson) for the release of the UK Garage remix of his latest single “Remember Me”
Panamanian-born saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist David Cultura is proud to announce the release of his highly anticipated debut album, Cultura, out today via Devon Allman’s Create Records.
With Cultura, David Cultura delivers more than an album, he offers cultural connection, rhythmic storytelling, and a deep melodic journey through the sounds and stories of Latin America, reimagined through a modern jazz lens.
“I wanted to make an album that was centered around melody,” says David (pronounced da-VEED). “I wanted it to be a jazz record that was accessible, that brought people into the music.” True to intention, Cultura has done just that in the seven-song debut simply and aptly titled, Cultura. The album is loaded with melodic hooks, taut musicianship, and infectious, insistent grooves begging for a dance partner.
Emanating from a literal crossroads, its canal welcoming a myriad of cultures and commerce, David grew up in Panama City, Panama, learning saxophone, guitar, flute, and percussion, first under the musical tutelage of his father, then accenting his natural abilities with formal training. He moved to the United States, settling in another gateway locale, St. Louis, and performed with various bands, including Tonina, where he developed a friendship with guitarist Jackson Stokes.
Stokes would introduce David to Devon Allman, singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, and founder of Create Records. Allman, whose trusted ear for burgeoning talent had been honed over decades as a bandleader with The Allman Betts Band, the Devon Allman Project, and Honeytribe, among others, invited David to join the Project in 2022. Two years later, David and his group would decamp to Sawhorse Studios and, with Allman as producer, track the lucky seven that comprise Cultura.
Boys Don’t Fight release “Bolero”, the second single from their eponymous debut album, out on October 17. “Bolero” is a sexy, synthy bop about sharing and exploring queer romance in a heteronormative society. The music video features Chris dancing in his childhood backyard—the same one in which he choreographed flag squad routines in high school—wearing a green shorts suit that he designed and sewed himself.
Boys Don’t Fight is the latest project from Chris Giarmo (he/him) – a New Orleans-based, multidisciplinary artist, and the “mustachio’d standout” of David Byrne’s American Utopia (Slate). Having performed internationally with Byrne, Taylor Mac, and Annie-B Parson/Big Dance Theater—at venues including The Sydney Opera House, Red Rocks Amphitheater, The O2 Arena in London, Coachella Music Festival, Palais Chaillot, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and on Broadway – Giarmo’s magnetic stage presence, inviting energy, and specificity make it “impossible to take your eyes off him” (Vulture). He is also an important creative contributor to the New York experimental dance-theater scene – having composed and sound designed for the likes of Tina Satter/Half Straddle, Faye Driscoll, Sibyl Kempson, Young Jean Lee, Jackie Sibblies Drury, and Jess Barbagallo – and has left his mark on YouTube as Kimberly Clark, an anti-consumerist drag queen and beauty guru who popularized the “anti-haul” video, and recently published her self-help video series, “How to Stop Shopping in Five Easy Steps.”
Listening to Boys Don’t Fight feels like being in the ocean and getting caught in a series of waves. It’s the exhilarating feeling of thinking you might drown, but knowing you won’t – feeling weightless, but also being pummelled – which is to to say, it feels like falling in love. These exhilarating and lyrically-dense electropop songs explore topics like revolution, acceptance, queerness, and video games, but are each waypoints on a singular journey: to find oneself, and each other in the tumult of late-stage capitalism.
Boys Don’t Fight released the project’s first video and single, “The Megaman Song” earlier this month.
Hot on the heels of being named War Child’s newest ambassador and selling out a run of in-store shows across the UK, singer, songwriter, and cultural powerhouse Joy Crookes has released her breathtaking sophomore album Juniper.
The focus track “Forever” lands alongside a striking live performance video recorded inside Do Ho Suh’s Walk The House exhibition at the Tate Modern. The video coincides with Joy’s curation of Tate Late on September 26, where she’ll perform songs from Juniper surrounded by the imagery and fashion that shaped the album’s creative journey.
Speaking about the inspiration behind “Forever,” Joy shares: “Why does the word forever exist if loss is inevitable? Nothing can be forever. But I started to understand that living is not just being alive, it’s not only about existence. Living is legacy, it’s memories of people, it’s the influence you have on the world around you.”
With Juniper, Joy builds on the breakthrough success of her BRIT- and Mercury Prize-nominated debut Skin, delivering a record that is deeply personal and sonically expansive. The album reflects resilience and emotional honesty while exploring themes of love, loss, identity, body politics, mental health, and the ecstasy and fear of vulnerability. She reaffirms herself as one of today’s most vital and original voices – fearless, unfiltered, and unforgettable.This fall, Joy will bring Juniper to life on stage with a full UK and EU headline tour, including one night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
Pioneering a fusion of trap and heavy metal with a uniquely chaotic energy, SosMula aims to push hip-hop fans out of their comfort zone with his intense new music. The prince of the underworld is gearing up to release his upcoming track “TRENCH BRAZY” this Friday, 9/19, the first glimpse of his upcoming album KAMP KRSYTAL LAKE dropping on Halloween. Produced by multi-Platinum, Grammy-winning producer Lex Luger, along with SosMula’s longtime associates 3quinox and Harzia, “TRENCH BRAZY” is a speaker-knocking slice of the apocalypse, combining simmering 808s with tolling bells and haunting vocal samples. Halfway through, the song kicks up a notch with a beat-switch, as Sos matches the increased energy level with frenzied flexes: “Still running to the money with a broken leg/I whip a brick in the pot like a broken egg,” he snarls. In the video, Sos and his crew post up uptown, transforming the trenches into a scene out of a horror film.
Alongside this single comes the news thatAtlantic Music Group has officially joined forces with Limosa Nostra Records—the label founded by rising artist, entrepreneur, and designer Ricky Hil–in a new joint venture, as announced today. In addition to Hil’s own music, the collaboration will launch future releases from SosMula, acclaimed New York City hip-hop disruptor, formerly of City Morgue, among other artists. With a boundless artist-first vision, the partnership is rooted in a commitment to development and vision shared by both Atlantic Music Group and Limosa Nostra.
