Alternative Pop Star Nxdia Promises No One’s Watching

In today's alt-pop landscape, where genre lines blur and aesthetics often outrun authenticity, Nxdia is a rare standout.

Luke James: Guided by Sound, Grounded in Soul

The air in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward was thick with music in the early 90s—boomboxes battled on sidewalks, brass bands marched without warning, and the city hummed with life. Through a cracked window, that hum drifted into a home where a young Luke James sat transfixed by a tape of a man singing Donny Hathaway’s “A Song for You” at The Apollo.

Lord Sko is Redefining NYC Hip-Hop with The 'Piff' Era

It was my first day in New York City, and my head was still spinning from the excitement of a new chapter in my life. After a long day of moving, I walked into an Italian restaurant, tired and hungry, unaware that I was about to become part of something bigger. The waiter wasn’t just taking my order; he was full of energy, ready to dive deep into conversation. We talked about music, my dream of becoming a journalist, and the stories I wanted to tell. Then, he naturally spoke about his son, an up...

Justice Samari — From Sparkz to Self

For years, Justice Samari moved through the world as Sparkz Gawd, a name that echoed through hallways since junior high and carried him into the early chapters of his music career.

I feel like I had to put more respect on that.” The change wasn’t impulsive; it was a quiet shift he’d considered for some time. Spar...
