Good evening, readers! By now you should be well aware about this series, but just in case you’re not, on the Saturday Spotlight we highlight some great music from up and comers in the game. This week we present LVNDVN, Ankhle John, Farma Wes, Solomonilla and D. Di’Yari. Enjoy.
Remember: We take submissions for this series. Please see guidelines here.
LVNDVN
First up this week we have LVNDVN who is following up his debut release ‘Dragon’. His latest song is called ‘P L A N S’ with is a very sensual, smooth R&B cut which is gaining him some attention with MTV UK. Stream the song below.
Ankhle John
Next up is D.C. rapper Ankhle John. If his artwork doesn’t catch your attention, his raspy voice will. He cites his inspiration as NY golden era Hip-Hop which explains his aggressive tone. Listen to ‘Understanding’ below.
Farma Wes
Third this week is the DMV’s Farma Wes, formerly known as Farma Wesley. He follows a string of song releases with ‘SNL’ which is more upbeat than his usual offerings and will appear on forthcoming project Pla†inum. Take a listen to it below.
Solomonilla
Our fourth pick this week is LA based rapper Solomonilla who snags some production from Maryland’s Kurruption for his new song ‘Clothes On’. This is the first taste of what to expect on his 99 Overall EP which will be out soon. Hear the banger below.
D. Di’Yari
Last but not least is D. Di’Yari from Newburgh, NY who is gearing up for the release of his If Ye Sold Yay project. He teams up with video director Chris Zino for visual for ‘Cardi B’, his latest banger. Be sure to raise the volume before you hit play on this one.
