After Ehcli’s exceptional freestyle was released, we caught up with an insightful interview with the talented artist to explore his eidetic experience and what he had to say about his incredible musical journey so far. Read below to learn some interesting details about Ehcli.
Congratulations on your latest track “DWADE FREESTYLE”, how do you feel about the newfound success?
I’m very surprised at how well everything is going so far, never thought other people would enjoy a song I made in my room so much. Since most recording studios are closed because of the pandemic, I made it in my room when I was mad and in my head.
What is the inspiration behind the single?
Honestly, I just felt empty, mad at the world. A lot of things happened before I actually sat down and recorded it. All my songs are freestyle but this time I just went non-stop. The whole recording process took around 5-8 minutes.
What has your musical journey been like? Run us through your story.
It’s been super brazy, everything is moving really fast. I can barely keep up with everything happening. It gets really stressful. I went from doing this for fun with my friends to people actually listening to me. More and more artists reach out to me every day and I’ve gotten to speak with people I never thought I’d talk to in my life. I’ve always been interested in music, I grew up in Puerto Rico, music is a very important part of our culture. I didn’t start taking music seriously until a year ago. Not even, maybe like 6-8 months ago.
What were the biggest initial hurdles to pursuing your musical dreams and how did you overcome them?
I think at first the hardest thing was actually recording. I started recording with Apple headphones. The quality of my music was not good at all and it had no mixing, it was really preventing me from moving forward with my career and music quality. And with no good quality music, I had no motivation to keep going. So, I decided to buy professional equipment and every week my music was getting better and better.
How do you motivate yourself when things are not going your way as your profession requires a lot of effort?
I usually just take a break until I think it’s time for me to come back. When I come back from my breaks, all my feelings, my sadness, my hurt, everything comes out and my music gets better every time. Unfortunately, I rely a lot on people for my happiness and motivation. I actually just came back from one of those “breaks”. I noticed my music wasn’t at 100% so I stopped for a while. An amazing woman came into my life and got me out of that bad place I was in. She’s literally my motivation. The reason behind all the brazy music I’ve been making lately. Some people are blessed and some are lucky. I got my Lucky 7 and I’m happy.
Are you working on any project right now and what can we expect from you in the future?
Yeah, I’m currently working on multiple projects, 2 of them are done. “B L O O D F A L L” and “Versus Everything”. A lot of known artists and producers in the projects. My personal favorite songs feature Offset, Lil Keed, Gunna, and Murda Beatz. You should expect good things coming from me, a lot of good music, and success.
If you had one message to give your fans, what would it be?
Don’t give up. I believe in you and always will. Nothing but luv for everyone that has been on this journey with me.
Are you happy with whatever you have achieved in your career?
Yes, I’m extremely satisfied with everything I’ve achieved. Especially for my age. I could sit here happy for years knowing thousands of people listened and enjoyed the words I had to say.
Thank you for speaking with us! For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?
Sure, this whole music thing is fun but, it does have its downs too. Anyone can make music, just be smart and have patience.

Montreal-based pop sensation and LGBTQ activist Van Hechter is back with “Boy Problems,” a stunning new single. The track merges his signature upbeat charm with rare emotional depth. Hechter, known for hits like “Disco Brother,” “Hot Damn,” and “Love Elastic,” reveals a new side to his magnetic electro-pop personality, offering a message that is both radiant and raw.
At 4 minutes and 24 seconds, “BoyProblems” is a bilingual (French & English) eruption of glitter, melancholy, and empowerment. It’s built on irresistible synths, glossy production, and pulsing basslines. The song invites listeners into a world where heartbreak beats in rhythm with liberation. The melodies feel euphoric on the surface, yet are stained with a haunting vulnerability, proving that dancing and deep feeling can exist together.
At its core, the song is a manifesto about refusing to settle for half-love. Van delivers lyrics that make you sway, smile, and suddenly pause; the truth stings. If love isn’t loud, real, and fully given, he’d rather walk away. It’s a reminder wrapped in rhythm: loving yourself means refusing the small version of what you deserve.
Filled with Hechter’s signature humor, glamour, and optimism, “Boy Problems” is a club anthem and a soul-stirrer all at once. The bilingual lyrics expand its emotional reach. The track feels at home anywhere, from Parisian dance floors and New York rooftops to headphones on a bus or speakers at Pride.
This is a jam that makes you feel like you’re flying, free from pretense. It’s definitively dance-pop and unmistakably Van Hechter, though the smile has a real heartbeat underneath. Listeners will hear that signature flair; he’s still cheeky, stylish, and unapologetically queer. His artistry is simply sharpened with new emotional honesty. This is a growth moment, delivered with a wink and a synth hook.
“Boy Problems” is a significant step beyond a simple catchy single. It’s a toast to self-worth. A glittering rebellion against lukewarm love. A reminder that the dance floor can be a place to heal. This sonic centerpiece belongs on your playlist, and on your friends’ too.
Sometimes a song shows up like that friend who kicks open the door without knocking, grinning and saying, “get your shoes, we’re leaving.” “Tule Tule,” the new single from South Sudanese artist TR Craze featuring Jamaican-UK rapper Caine Marko, moves exactly like that. The track is bold and charged, carrying the weight of lived experience while stomping over a dark, menacing drill beat that feels built for the streets as much as the club.
TR Craze’s backstory reads like a movie script Hollywood studios would fight over. He was born in South Sudan, shaped by the trauma of civil war, and pushed into the harsh realities of refugee life. He literally survived the treacherous routes through Libya and across the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe. This man distills survival into rhythm. On “Tule Tule,” you can feel that heart, that urgency, and that fire in his delivery, channelled into a raw, assertive drill performance that cuts through even if you don’t understand a single word of the opening verse. At its core, “Tule Tule” is a raw, assertive drill track that isn’t afraid to bare its teeth.
The word “Tule” comes from Nuer. It refers to youth games and the electric thrill of chasing something, whether that’s victory, joy, or destiny. TR Craze uses that spirit like a drumbeat beneath his voice. The choruses hit with a communal, call-and-response warmth but here that playfulness is flipped into a gritty, chant-like hook – “Tule Tule” – that feels like the rallying cry of a crew on the move. Even without translating the lyrics, the tone tells you everything. This is about motion, pursuit, celebration, and refusing to stay stuck in the past, all wrapped in an unapologetic, high-adrenaline atmosphere. Lyrically, the track leans into street life, dominance and crew loyalty, matching the tension in the beat.
Behind them, producer Kyxxx builds a dark, tense soundscape, stitching drill drums with Brazilian bounce and Bhangra-flavoured rhythmic elements that keep the track constantly on edge. The result is a gritty, energetic and unapologetic atmosphere that pulls you straight into their world.
Then Caine Marko slides in for the second verse, and the whole energy pivots into a sharp, swagger-heavy bounce. His flow is clean but gritty, confident and confrontational, shifting between braggadocio and sly charm.
“She knows I’m a wolf and I run the pack,” he starts, classic alpha talk, but delivered with a laid-back grin. “She come first like running track,” he continues, flipping between affection and athletic metaphors like a man who’s too used to moving fast.
Then he opens up the verse more: “Doing dirt and getting with a bitty, I only pretty… then back to the city. Got me some liquor then it got me some weed.” It’s lifestyle rap, but the reckless, unapologetic kind. It’s the messy, outside-at-night, live-in-the-moment vibe that balances TR Craze’s more grounded narrative. When he ends with “you going to hang with the gang,” the energy snaps into a group-hyped finale, a reminder that music like this isn’t meant to be consumed alone, underlining the crew-first loyalty at the heart of the record.
“Tule Tule” works because it blends worlds without softening its raw, street-hardened edge. It merges East African emotion, Caribbean-UK swagger, drill and hip-hop grit, Brazilian and Bhangra textures in Kyxxx’s production, diaspora storytelling, and a spirit of joy that refuses to be dimmed by pain.
Let “Tule Tule” run while you’re walking, cooking, texting, or plotting big dreams – or getting ready to step out with your crew.
