MC/singer/songwriter Pete Santos presents "my ting", his new single produced by longtime collaborator B.Cimili, slated to appear on aligned, Pete's forthcoming album featuring guest appearances from Granger Simmons and Janely. A New York City native currently residing in Finland, Pete grew up all over the world, a life journey which heavily influenced his blend of hip-hop, pop, R&B, afro-fusion and soul music. Earlier in 2022 Pete released the single "Young." with Paleface (Spotify), and his last video release was "Last Night People" (Youtube). About his new single, Pete says "The key message of 'My Ting' is that it’s not just about you. Throughout the journey there will be people who tell you you can't do it, or who will try to hinder your growth process. You have to keep in mind that you are just one piece in the puzzle – there are the people you work with, your family, your community and all the people you represent."

The Hague City (in the Netherlands) based producer MistaSweet presents "Stand Up", his collaboration single with Queensbridge, NYC rapper Tragedy Khadafi. A staple of the Dutch hiphop scene since the 1980s, MistaSweet went from b-boying to emceeing to throwing his Bomb The Planet graffiti parties, which in turn deepened his journey into DJing, crate digging and production. Tragedy Khadafi's career began in the company of legends, with DJ Marley Marl producing his debut album Intelligent Hoodlum. He is best known for his work with Mobb Deep and Capone-N-Noreaga, releasing the "LA LA" Dogg Pound diss record and executive producing CNN's debut album The War Report. He has also released several solo albums and starred in the documentary Tragedy: The Story Of Queensbridge. MistaSweet regularly DJs hiphop events across Europe and the US, and has produced for artists like Lesley, Skinny Scotty and Alee Rock. "This is my first big international release with one of my favorite MCs," Sweet says. "The sound I like and have been making for years finally matches up with a rapper from that area and era."

Philadelphia rapper YOUWIN releases his latest Marsten House Recordings mixtape Hedonist. The recent release of the mixtape comes on the heels of his 2021 Marsten House released mixtape titled Eden (listen to the album). Hedonist features Producers Nick Gmerek, Joshua De Mets, Bokonon, and Arcane Beats. YOUWIN had this to say about Hedonist, “This tape is a year of my life in sound form. I really wanted to build something that was my own with “Hedonist”. Most of the production was handled in house by DJ Knick. I think that relationship really allowed me to bring a certain vibe to the project. Hedonist is a collection of songs that represent longing, love, ambition, and pain. The sounds on this project reflect the films, icons, relationships, and lifestyle that have made me who I am. It is for the rockstar, the punk, the disappointed and discontent. It is for the hedonist”.

F.Y.I. had this to say about his new single "I called the new song “eLAyayvate” which is pronounced "elevate" because I’m in a new era of growth as an artist and as a man. It’s time for the frequency to change in my city and in hip hop; it’s time to go higher."

OG DENZO- DENZO PARKER

EP Review (intro)

Overall solid project included in the description as Lyrical, Meaningful, Poetic, plus newschool Street Chicago sounds + Music.

Favorite Track

Ballin’ Out CNTRL

This track goes h.a.m from the beginning and has meaning. Topic on people having trouble understanding what you go through following your creative dreams. People hating on others for doing what they have to do and utilizing their talents. Mixing in Ballin Outta Control and celebrating. “They Hatin a N**ga Ain’t even On”. People still not getting the picture that still have work to do and dreams to fulfill. This is a real track Plus mixed well too a solid TRACK; quick, passion lyrics, sound, melody beat Banger overall strong.

Final EP Review

This ep has meaning and purpose sharing the pain which is perfect for the style of a solid EP and four well-produced songs. This EP you can expect Denzo expressing his experiences with the work it takes, struggles he goes through, and closing out with a positive uplifting “It Will Be Okay” including a legit music video. Mixing in Hard-Hitting Rap Music with Some Positivity. “I lost my grandma and It made me wanna go harder” - OG Denzo- It’ll be Okay

His work is paying off as he releases this project Early Summer and continues to push forward.

Production Review/Final Notes

Denzo Steps up to the plate on this completes the full body of work including melodies, hooks, for four complete songs. The way the Body of Work Flows you can Hear Similarities and Differences in the beat selection including notable Drums on “It’ll Be Okay” The Drum Kit on this is Lights Out and it has some Riffs and that Rewind sound is fire. This is a street banger and the Music video on top of that with the Juice WRLD mural sets it off. A Feel Good Positive song that everyone could use that message. Well done.
