Joe Aste - Ruby Skies

Joe Aste, Ruby Skies

We recently found Joe Aste’s album on social media through an advertisement, we found the cover art was very cool, and decided to check out the album. It has a mellow vibe, mixed in with great features from rappers. It is a sound album, perfect for the work-day getting sh*t done or catching a vibe. It has a travis scott feel to it mixed in with new age relaxation music hip-hop rap music.

Los Angeles, CA-based emcee/producer I-K-E (Inspiring Kings Everywhere) presents the Reece Cross-directed music video for "Yo Soy Un Rey", the new self-produced single from I-K-E's forthcoming album Corazón de Selena. The "Rey" visual comes on the heels of the music video for previous single "Illusions" (watch on Youtube) as well as previous singles such as "The Master" and "The World" which can be found on his Spotify page. "'Yo Soy Un Rey' means 'I am a king' in Spanish," I-K-E says when asked about the new track. "As Latinos in America, we've experienced our share of oppression, racism, and marginalization, and this can crush the spirit and cause us to see ourselves as less than we really are. I wrote this song to empower myself and others, Latino or not, who have been slighted by the current social structure."

Birmingham, Alabama artist/producer Elboe presents his self-produced new single "Drumline". Teaching himself to DJ using his father's funk and soul records as a child, he first broke on the scene in 2009 as part of local Birmingham group The Mic Coalition. He eventually went solo, dropping "Stay Shining" in 2018 (watch the music video) which was recorded at M.A.D. Studios in Atlanta and was featured four times in ATL's Top 20 Countdown. Elboe says he made the track "as an ode to the excitement of HBCU banging horns and drums that standout at classic games played by the bands while still bringing hard and street conscious lyrics."

Southern California hip hop artist/producer Ariano presents "Money Won't Buy You Angels", which features a guest appearance from fellow SoCal emcee Self Provoked, and is produced by Evidence. The Dilated Peoples beatsmith is the lone outside producer on America The Anxious, Ariano's new album which he produced and recorded in one week during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over his 20 years in the game Ariano has collaborated with Snoop Dogg (listen to "High Off The Fame"), Crooked I (listen to "Not Going Back"), Murs and KRS-One, and has several full-length releases under his belt including 2007's Music2breakup2, Sad Songs Make Me Happy and Love Is Not Lazy. Ariano has worked with Glasses Malone, members of Wu Tang Clan, The Visionaries, Ikey Owens of The Mars Volta and Jack White Band, KRS-One, DJ Khalil, Dudley Perkins, M.E.D., Evidence, Chali 2na and more. Ariano's last album was F--k You, I Love You, Pay Me (stream). "I had two albums already complete and they didn’t fit the time period that we’re living in," Ariano says. "This album is completely freestyled and done very sporadically. I think it captures the anxiety of the times that we live in."
