Emerging from culturally rich and diverse Nigeria, the hotbed of international talent, Boydripcy seeks to make his mark significantly by blending the signature Afrobeat with R&B and more contemporary sounds to appeal to global audiences who are always craving something rich, truly unique, and identifiable. Following in the footsteps of internationally acclaimed superstars such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Asake, Zinoleesky, and Adekunle Gold, Boydripcy is prepared to carve his own path and establish himself as more than just a superstar.

Currently signed to the label Elviston Music Worldwide, Boydripcy is gearing up for the official release of his debut single ‘Cross,’ a highly anticipated milestone in his budding career. With an unmistakable tone, ‘Cross’ features instantly accessible subject matter, as Boydripcy does not tip-toe around honest lyrics that reflect the reality of the world we live in—that no one will bear your cross for you. You are the master of your fate, the designer of your destiny, and the choices you make determine the outcome.

Boydripcy’s ethereal vocals glide over the track’s silky tones, creating an irresistible warmth that makes this song feel like a late-night, introspective walk.

Tapping deeper into common human experiences, Boydripcy captures his own story of growing up with nothing, with a widowed mother and living from hand to mouth. This hardship impacted him and ultimately molded him into a man of steel who now refuses to give up in his relentless pursuit of excellence.

Accompanied by a music video that perfectly supplements the song both in storyline and symbolism, ‘Cross’ was shot in Boydripcy’s hometown, encapsulating the struggle to survive in a difficult setting.

‘Cross’ is a deeply motivational masterpiece that is meant to remind a listener of the importance of hard work and resilience, backed by that never-say-die attitude. This is an anthem of self-empowerment and personal growth with lyrics that are reflective of the world as it is.

‘Cross,’ a sonic journey that captures the essence of life’s choices and their outcomes, is guaranteed to leave a lasting impact on the hearts and souls of its listeners. Once you hear it, you’ll find it hard to get out of your head, and even harder to resist playing it on repeat.

After a two-year hiatus spent grappling with profound personal losses, including those of his uncle and grandma, two significant figures who helped shape his life, Detroit’s rapper and artist Shon Kash returns with the best possible tribute and ode to his lost loved ones, chronicling deeply personal and heartfelt tales of growing up from nothing and trying to navigate and make a mark for yourself in an environment that was not very suitable for growth—“FOREVER CURSED” is a project that encapsulates Shon Kash’s pain, resilience, and unbreakable spirit with lyrics that are as heartfelt as they are hard-hitting. Take a seat because this 12-track project is not just an album—it is a gripping memoir set to beats.

At the core of this project is an unfiltered look at grief, survival, and gratitude. The title track, “Forever Cursed” sets the tone with piercing lyricism that paints a vivid picture of the realities of growing up in Detroit’s unforgiving streets where there are no handouts and it’s every man for himself. The lyrics depict what it is like to grow up in poverty, each day evading venom from snakes, swimming through sharks; metaphorically capturing a reality akin to being raised by the wolves and the toughness that requires. Showcasing his lyrical strengths and unmatched knack for wordplay, Shon Kash is as earnest as he is captivating.

“Forever Tankful’s” essence is encapsulated by those powerful hooks—“Thankful for today, because we don’t know about tomorrow,” resonating as both a cautionary reflection and a daily mantra, reinforcing the album’s central theme of appreciating life despite its hardships. Lines like “Cutting corners trying to corner us” are a case example of top-tier wordplay, depicting a stark yet clever relentless struggle to escape life’s traps. This jam is a soulful declaration of appreciation for each moment amidst the chaos.

“Forever Down” is a gut-wrenching track that encapsulates the harrowing weight of watching loved ones succumb to crime and addiction and the loss this brings along with it. His melancholic words are captured by lines that depict the circles getting smaller and carrying around that smile as a disguise. The haunting question “Is it depression or anxiety” poignantly captures the mental battles that often remain unspoken in communities plagued by violence and loss. The backing female vocals inject that R&B syndrome that further elevates the track’s emotional depth.

The album’s thematic depth is further explored in “Forever Us,” another standout collaboration with a phenomenally talented female emcee. Shon flexes his lyrical prowess with clever double entendres like “reality checks don’t bounce,” which depict the daunting reality of growing up in a poverty-stricken hood where bills come before a check and only the strong survive. Also, this track is a testament to resilience and the ability to thrive under pressure, embodying the very essence of turning pain into power.

The emotional weight of the album culminates in its closing track, “Forever After”—a touching tribute to Shon Kash’s late uncle Curse and grandmother. Through vivid storytelling, he reminisces about late-night drives and heartfelt conversations with his uncle, who instilled in him the importance of education and ambition. The song also serves as a letter of gratitude to his grandmother, who provided him with spiritual guidance and unwavering support in a world where it’s all too easy to lose oneself.

With “FOREVER CURSED,” Shon Kash doesn’t just return to the rap game—he reclaims his voice. This album is an unfiltered reflection of pain, love, and perseverance, masterfully woven into powerful storytelling and sharp lyricism. For anyone who appreciates hip-hop that comes from an authentic place of raw emotion and lived experience, “FOREVER CURSED” is not just an album—it’s an experience.

Support Shon on his creative endeavors by streaming and purchasing this digital album, sharing it, and adding the tracks you dig most to your favorite playlist.

Neoclassical Music Composer Michele Nobler Envelops Us in a Warm, Beautiful Embrace With His Latest Release "Shore Whispers."

Imagine the mere fusion of time and space—where the elegance of neoclassical piano meets the vastness of ambient soundscapes, where the grandeur of the organ transforms into something both ethereal and modern. It is the sort of music that breathes, expanding and contracting, just like a living entity, each note carrying the weight of introspection, nostalgia, and quiet revelation. Now imagine no more because this is the sonic offering of one neoclassical piano composer Michele Nobler, based in the Marche region, an Italian region along the Adriatic Sea. As a music composer and passionate photographer, his artistry mirrors moving images, transforming them into melodies with universal appeal.

How beautiful can his kind of music be? I mean, his latest release Shore Whispers captures the melodic whispers of the shore as much as the scenic beauty of French coastal towns and spots, showcasing a profound sense of stillness in the compositions and yet, they are not static. The melodies here move like ripples across water, unfolding with a delicate patience that allows the listener to drift between the past and the present.

His deft fingerprints exude a warm comfort, touching the listener deep in their heart and soul; it is almost impossible to put these feelings into words. The minimalistic and crystalline piano serves as the emotional core—whispering rather than declaring, inviting rather than demanding. It is the language of longing, of fleeting moments captured in sound.

Shore Whispers consists of 14 tracks with a runtime of 35 minutes and 1 second. It is fascinating how the music deeply immerses you to the point where you lose track of time, and by the time the project is over, you feel like time has eluded you… it feels like half the time has passed because of just how comforting, tranquil, and ethereally beautiful the melodies are.

“Cap Gris Nez” captures the warm, friendly, and welcoming demeanor of this town located in Cote d’Opale in the French department of Pas-de-Calais, in Northern France. The piano melodies mirror the beautiful shores in the distance that are just as inviting as its people. The gentle melodies speak directly to the soul, exuding a timeless feeling that is guaranteed to stay with you even after the sweet, comforting tones are no more.

“Isola Luce Del Mare” captures the light of the sea, maybe at night—something that is indescribably beautiful. The touchingly beautiful piano exudes this warm, pulsing melodic presence, evoking a sacred-like feeling. It is as if Michele Nobler puts you right in that specific moment—a moment of rare, pristine beauty to relish.

“Making Bread” feels exactly like art and is reminiscent of a close, intimate setting with people you love and value dearly. The mellifluent piano melodies offer you an escape into a world of your own making… As long as you can imagine it, the music transports you right there!

And through it all, he also manages to capture the essence of romantic imagination with the gentle “Kisses on Tiptoe” and the livelier “Kisses on Tiptoe (Bright Version).” I mean, what a project!

What more can a listener possibly want?
