Insights: Grant Huffman Shares Insights On His Music Journey

Published

on

After Grant Huffman’s uniquely introspective single “My Looking Glass Self” was released, we caught up with an insightful interview with such a 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 Grant Huffman.

Was there anyone or anything in particular that pushed you to pursue music?

My dad is and always has been a very musical person. If it weren’t for him, I probably would have never learned to play the guitar and gained the core musical knowledge to be able to produce beats and make songs the way I do. It wasn’t only my dad though when i was 8 years old, my mother bought me “The Eminem Show” Eminem’s third studio album. This album’s music was my first experience with coping with the depilating anxiety that has plagued me since I can remember. The way in which Eminem flowed and things he said gave me a feeling of relief, and even excitement. I’ve been rapping ever since!

What has your musical journey been like? Run us through your story.

My musical journey started around middle school when I was really interested in becoming a Youtuber. I had been watching all of the parody music videos that were so prevalent on Youtube back then and decided to create my own. It was called “Cheerios: The Rap.” This was the only parody song I had released. started focusing more on my writing and rhyming ability, learning what it was that i needed to do to catch people’s attention. I wanted to WOW people and I knew I could. That takes us to my freshman year. I had recorded a verse over Kid Cudi’s “The Prayer” and to my surprise, everyone at my school thought it was amazing. I was getting compliments after compliments. This is about the time I realized i really had something, a skill, that no one around me had. So i began writing rhymes almost CONSTANTLY.

I went through a terrible 2-year long spout of depersonalization from a bad drug experience, and I’m not sure i would have made it through without this hobby. After High-school I moved to myrtle beach and created a hip hop group called “College Street kids” with my friend Tony Montana, another rap artist I had befriended at boarding school. We dropped a Mixtape on Soundcloud and had some real success for the first time ever. People really listened, and they really liked it. Tony and I were spitting more lyrically complex rhymes than damn near anybody, and in my humble opinion, we still do. Tony & I still continue to work together to this day, even though we have moved past college street kids and put out music as single artists. Just recently, however; is when my music caught some flames on spotify. As of this moment, I get about 15-19,000 monthly Listeners on Spotify (not Soundcloud) and have over 80k total plays. On Soundcloud however i have over 1.2 MILLION streams and 2.3k followers as one of my songs “My looking Glass self” went viral for a while.

What is the motivation behind such a lyrically rich and melodically unique single “Whatcha Doin”?

The motivation behind “Watcha Doin” was to make a GREAT song that could be enjoyed by the masses. I wanted to put something out there that was different than my normal music. I’d like to call it musical evolution. I’m starting to learn what type of songs do well and which don’t, and I’m trying to play on that to my advantage as an artist, without giving up any of my artistic integrity in the process.

Are you related to Jane Huffman, by any chance?

YES I am related to Jane Huffman. She happens to be my sister, 3 years older. She is an INCREDIBLE POET who is nationally recognized and a known name in the world of Academia. She recently won over 30 grand from the 2019 Ruth Lilly & Dorothy Sargent Rosenbeg Poetry Fellowship. She was recently accepted to her Ph.D. school of choice, along with many other schools. Writing poetry runs in our family blood I suppose. Her Wikipedia page will have more info about her than myself!

What does music mean to you?

Music to me means hope. I can’t imagine a world without music or the ability to try and create it. That’d be a very sad world and not one i’d be interested in living in. Seeing as that music is my full time job, and my full time passion, It’s basically everything to me.

If you are asked to collaborate with a renowned musician, whose name will you write down?

Joyner Lucas; without a doubt. He’s my favorite rapper out right now by a pretty long shot. His music and my music are similar in a lot of ways, We probably even have the same audience. (His just being 10000x bigger). I love his lyrical ambition and story telling skills. I am ALL ABOUT the multi- Syllable Rhyme schemes, and Joyner has proved to be elite in this category.

Are you working independently or with any production house or recording label?

I am working completely independently at the moment! Not to say I am against working with a label, we’ll just have to see what the future holds.

Are you working on any project right now and what can we expect from you in the future?

I am working on MULTIPLE projects right now, one of which is in my own opinion the best work ive ever done. I have song called “Snake Eyes’ coming out on feb. 26th. After that is when I will probably release the song I consider my best. You can expect a LOT of thing in the future. I have a ton of professional film equipment so they’re will be tons of youtube content very soon.

Thank you for speaking with us! For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?

Not only would i like to thank anyone who bothered to read this article but I’d also like to ask you to check out my Spotify and follow me! All you have to do is search “Grant Huffman” in ANY major streaming platform, and you’ll find my music. Again, thanks a lot for taking the time and i hope everybody continues to have a great weekend! I couldn’t appreciate this article more!

3B Rich Bring Confidence and Late Night Ambition Into Focus On the Sleek and Hypnotic New Single “Slow Twerking”

3B Rich Bring Confidence and Late Night Ambition Into Focus On the Sleek and Hypnotic New Single “Slow Twerking”

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.

In Sylk McCloud’s Safeword, Bedroom R&B Meets Club Heat as Mr.24 Adds Grit to Bubu’s Midnight Pulse

In Sylk McCloud’s Safeword, Bedroom R&B Meets Club Heat as Mr.24 Adds Grit to Bubu’s Midnight Pulse

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.

Killem KD Brings Delta Grit to a One Take Freestyle That Sounds Like a Warning and a Promise

Screenshot

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.

No edits.
No excuses.
No permission needed.
This is Killem KD, trouble in the best way possible.
