Dj Deadly joins us to speak about his newest single release “Deserve Better,” an uplifting track encouraging the women that they deserve better and to appreciate their presence in our lives.
What is your background / where did your musical journey start?
My parents were both musicians locally in Australia back in the day so I feel it was in my blood from birth. I became a local Di in the neighborhood growing up and dj’d house parties and it grew from there!
How long have you been Djing and producing for?
I had started djing in my teenage years but started professionally at age 25 (Shout out to the C4 Promotion crew Melbourne for putting me on!)
I started playing around with producing a few years later and attended Audio school SAE in Port Melbourne. I wanted to be able to make my own remixes so my entry to the wonderful world of producing started there! As a producer, it was an on and off situation where I didn’t really jump into it until I produced 2 tracks for a local artist Mr Morgz. Then it took off from there.
What is the meaning behind this track?
The meaning behind “Deserve Better” I wanted to make a song that showed love and appreciation for the women in our lives who are holding it down on the daily. Our Grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, single mothers doing it tough even.. I feel in society they aren’t shown the respect they deserve and wanted to have a track they could listen to That reminds them they are loved and appreciated, and that they deserve better than what they may have as far as appreciation. Men aren’t always top of the class when it comes to showing appreciation but we definitely do appreciate it!
Who are the artist you featured on this track?
The artists I reached out to for this track were guys I feel we’re very talented! Rico Maz, Nigerian Born now living in the Uk is definitely an artist on the rise and I definitely wanted his vocals over this track! He was my original collaboration and perfectly Worked his magic over the chorus and his verses 100% He has a smooth RnB vibe you don’t hear much of these days.
I also reached out to London based Artist / Producer, Thir13een who has done some vocal work for me over the past few years. This guy is talented beyond measure in my opinion! He writes, produces both RnB and hip hop also has Dance tracks he has produced which are up there with the best of them!
What advice do you have for upcoming aspiring artists?
I’d say if you live what you’re doing and have a genuine PASSION for it.. go for it and follow those dreams! I think the biggest ingredient in success is Passion. My Grandmother used to always say “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink it” Follow your passion, don’t worry about how long it may take.. do it! These days we have things like YouTube, you can learn almost anything on there! It’s amazing So we have no excuse not to follow up on our dreams!
What are your musical aspirations?
I would like to see the music I am making go all around the world! If I was to walk into a store or listen to a radio station in Nigeria or South Africa, Thailand or Canada and hear any of my tracks I would be happy.
As a Dj I’d love to go to a club and hear another Dj playing my record and see the crowd singing along! For me.. that would be full circle! As when I started djing I feel that when I found music as a passion!
Plans for the future?
My future plans first and foremost would be to look after my wife and children! I have been away for soo long working that I want the future to hold more time with them.
Musically would like to collaborate with more artists and make hits that people will vibe to! Nothing better than having people feel your artwork as it means you touched them in some way! I think music is the key to world peace!
What countries would you like to travel to and experience their Music?
I would love to travel around Africa! In particular Nigeria and experience the music scene there! The music scene seems like it’s booming and the artists are soo talented! I’d also like to travel the USA, & South America to experience the culture and music.
Who or what inspires you the most?
Artists with positive messages in their music inspire me the most! Music is a very powerful tool and we need to be careful about how we use it. As a producer, I must say inspiration comes from music with hints of cultural influences in it. It’s a new way to keep the culture alive in a world where we are really trying to hold onto culture before it evolves.
Also, a big inspiration for me is my children. I think about what music may sound like when they are older, how might music have evolved by then, and how they will grow in a world with music pushing particular narratives. They keep me focused on the future
Afro Brazilian trio 3B Rich keep sharpening their place in contemporary music with the release of their latest single, “Slow Twerking.” Blending modern R&B, hip hop, and pop with an easy sense of control, the song lands as a hypnotic, club minded track full of cinematic detail and an undeniable groove.
Driven by smooth, pulsing production and airy synth work, “Slow Twerking” reaches beyond the usual dancefloor rush. There is a real story inside it. The track sketches the life of a dancer moving through the nightlife world, holding onto her confidence, resilience, and ambition. Through vivid lyrics, 3B Rich present a woman who commands attention while working toward something larger, supporting her child, investing in her education, and building a future for herself on her own terms.
A big part of the song’s appeal comes from the way the group handles its vocals. Brothers Hi-en, Mr. Spotlight, and J-Royal play off one another with the kind of chemistry that makes the track feel loose and precise at the same time. Verses, hooks, and melodies pass naturally between them. Each voice has its own character, but together they create a polished, unified sound. The hook stays with you, long after the song ends.
On the production side, “Slow Twerking” captures what makes 3B Rich stand out. They move between genres with care, never losing the emotional pull or rhythmic focus of the song. The layered arrangement, sharp sense of rhythm, and melodic immediacy make it easy to imagine the track thriving both on streaming platforms and in a live setting.
The single also arrives at an important point for the trio. As attention around “Slow Twerking” continues to build, 3B Rich are wrapping up work on their debut album. The project is expected to push further into the ideas introduced here, with more genre blending, stronger storytelling, and adventurous production choices. It speaks to the group’s drive to test their range while staying grounded in something genuine.
Originally from Los Angeles and now based in Las Vegas, 3B Rich bring a distinct West Coast feel that is shaped by broader global influences. Their music is marked by tight harmonies, a strong stage presence, and a creative vision that connects different sounds and cultural perspectives. As their catalog grows, so does the sense that they are becoming a genuinely forward looking act, one with the potential to leave a real mark on pop and urban music.
With more releases, live shows, and industry partnerships ahead, 3B Rich are moving steadily from rising talent to serious creative contender.
“Slow Twerking” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

Rising bedroom R&B crooner Sylk McCloud, hailing from SE Washington, DC, turns up the temperature on his latest single, “Safeword.” It’s a slow burner built for the club, where glossy modern R&B melts into a little hip hop swagger. BuBu The Producer keeps the track sleek and plush, while featured rapper and emcee Mr.24 slides in with a verse that sharpens the edge.
Right away, “Safeword” lands in that moody late night pocket. The instrumental is velvet smooth, but it moves with a steady, hypnotic groove that nudges you closer. Sylk sings like he’s speaking directly across a dark room, soft in tone yet sure of himself. That push and pull is the point, a mix of vulnerability and control, desire and hesitation, all held in tension without spilling into melodrama.
The song takes its cues from the “Shades of Grey” film series, leaning into trust, fantasy, and the charged negotiation that comes with intimacy. Sylk makes the hook the centerpiece, letting the melody do the seducing even as the lyrics get bold:
“Tell me you’re sexy, all positions go
Are you ready for submission
Fifty shades is what I’m giving
Satisfaction all positions
Only one thing missing
Tell me your safeword…”
Those lines set the mood with a teasing confidence that never feels rushed. The chorus is restrained and tempting, built to linger rather than hit and disappear. Sylk’s voice floats above the beat with a magnetic ease, so the hook sticks in your head and in your gut.
When Mr.24 arrives, the energy shifts without breaking the spell. His delivery brings a gritty smooth contrast to Sylk’s melodic glide, grounding the fantasy in something a little tougher. It’s a smart pairing. The two artists sound comfortable sharing the same space, which helps “Safeword” work in more than one setting, from a packed dance floor to a late night playlist you keep to yourself.
A lot of the track’s pull comes from the production choices. BuBu The Producer builds a lush, atmospheric soundscape that matches Sylk’s tone, leaving room for breath, for pause, for that moment before the next touch. It feels designed for slow dancing, for cruising through the city after midnight, or for setting the room’s temperature with intention.
With “Safeword,” Sylk McCloud keeps carving out his lane in contemporary R&B, blending emotional weight with sensual confidence. The single plays like a small, cinematic scene, intimate on purpose, polished without feeling distant.
“Safeword” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Some artists slide into a scene and hope the room makes space. Killem KD walks in like the room is already hers. Listen.
On her one take freestyle “Trouble Man (One Take),” the Mound Bayou, Mississippi native makes a clean announcement. She is here, she is ready, and she is finished waiting on permission. In about 1 minute and 25 seconds, KD delivers something that feels closer to a notice than a warm introduction, a warning shot aimed at anyone treating her like background noise.
Her intent is obvious in the way she hits each line. When she raps, “said I’m tired of waiting in corners and closets, it’s my time to shine, I can’t be quiet,” it lands like autobiography, not bravado. This is presence music, the kind that changes the temperature of a track. KD performs like she can feel eyes on her, like the tally is being kept, like silence has stopped being an option. Doubt, gatekeepers, anyone trying to flatten her momentum, they all get drowned out by the force in her voice.
The flow is slick and surgical, rooted in the South and proud of it. Every bar locks into the beat with a cadence that sounds fused, not rehearsed. You hear finesse, then grit right behind it, swagger sharpened by hunger. She stays patient. She doesn’t chase the pocket. She lives in it. The whole thing reads like instinct, not homework.
The video sharpens that feeling. Filmed guerrilla-style outside an old hospital building, it strips the moment to essentials: Killem KD, a mic, and whatever the day gives her. No crew lights. No studio polish. No safety net. Just daylight, concrete, and conviction. A dangling silver microphone adds a throwback touch, nodding to a time when you could measure an MC by breath control and bars.
That location matters, too. Hospitals are where people show up broken, hurting, trying to make it through. KD stands just outside that threshold and spits like she’s the diagnosis, unavoidable, contagious, impossible to dismiss. She closes her eyes at points, letting the performance swing between confession and confrontation. The result feels street-level and cinematic at once, early freestyle energy filtered through quiet urban melancholy.
“Trouble Man (One Take)” doesn’t lean on spectacle. It leans on certainty. KD knows what she brings, and she moves like her moment isn’t on the way. It’s here. This puts her in the lane of artists who demand recognition because the work leaves no other option.
Born and raised in the Delta, Killem KD carries southern soul, raw storytelling, and fearless energy into every bar. She’s pushing to put Mississippi on the map, and a clip like this makes that goal feel less like ambition and more like trajectory.
