Yawdoesitall - ELEMENTARY
Yawdoesitall is beginning his rise to the upper echelons of Australian based hip hop, releasing his debut EP, Life I Chose. The project solidifies his already distinct sonic world of bright, adventurous soul oozing music while reflecting on themes of self-empowerment, overcoming adversity and distinct introspective thought. 

Big Skeez - Work Don’t Stop
Big Skeez is capping off a huge 2022 with new single Work Don't Stop, released on NLV Records. The single is another contagious listen from Big Skeez, pulling together elements of amapiano and afrobeat. With the track he speaks on his determined work ethic, over log drum bass lines, dance worthy rhythms and a string section.

1300 & SOLLYY - CARDIO!
Cult adored rap crew 1300 have combined with SOLLYY to share new collaboration, CARDIO!. Both artists are exemplary community leaders, constantly presenting fierce creativity that is not limited by genre, preconceived notions or traditional conventions, both sonically and societally. CARDIO! diverges from 1300's traditional sound of mashed hip-hop and electronic music into a trap fuelled, bass driven world. It features tension fuelling breakdowns and precise drops, allowing each member to showcase their immense talent.

daine - shapeless
daine is building their discography with precision, class and songwriting prowess, releasing new single Shapeless, the title track from their second mixtape, which releases on the 24th of February. Sonically the track utilises shimmering, metallic synths, which strain above a late night dance floor worthy, bass heavy, jersey club rhythm. It takes textures from the worlds of euphoric dance music of festival main stages across the early 2010s and transforms them into the intricately curated pop world of daine.

Maina Doe - Primal Design
Sydney multi-hyphenate Maina Doe has released her gorgeous new single Primal Design. The track is a slow building gorgeous cut of R&B and pop goodness. It reflects on the primal desires of people in relation to lust and intimacy, and the way in which we lose ourselves entirely when in the heat of the moment and indulging in nighttime activities. 

PRICIE - U, U and Only U
PRICIE has released her debut EP, It’s Pricie. The project is a culmination of her favourite tracks over the past couple of years, providing an interesting insight into the creative excellence of who is soon to be one of Australia’s biggest artists. Early standout is the EP opener, U, U and Only U which sets the overarching message of empowerment and self care. 

Nicole Issa - Notes In My Car
Pop and soul singer songwriter Nicole Issa has dropped her heartwarming new single Notes In My Car. The track is driven by a stunning lead piano run and her swirling vocals as she reflects on a previous relationship. It touches on the small reminders that pop up in the world that remind us of a previous lover. The sentiment is beautifully executed, as Nicole’s songwriting abilities shine.
