Rap Duo of Killah Threat and Grim Guiliani Come Through in a Joint Lyrical Effort in the Extensive Album, “GrimKillahz”
Hailing from Saint Louis, MO, Killah Threat is a producer and writer with over 20 years of experience in the music industry. Grim Guiliani also hails from Saint Louis and is an authentic rapper. Both these artists record and release their music under, “Thoroughbred Ent STL” label that is owned and operated by Killah Threat. Grim Guiliani has over 15 K Spotify monthly listeners and Killah has over 11 K monthly listeners. These two unrivaled champions got into the recording booth and produced a boundless rap album titled, “GrimKillahz”- a matchless lyrical performance that features capacious themes and emotions- melancholic, anguish, hurtful, betrayal, and even sensitive matters of politics were not spared!
This is an album meant to be enjoyed in its entirety from the first track all the way to the last one and I honestly don’t remember the last time I listened to a spellbinding album like this one. Most of the album features a few great songs but this one has 12 certified tunes- and this is no mean feat to achieve so, hats off to these two exceptionally gifted lyrists.
“Hypnosis” is old-school redefined and befits a street kind of anthem that takes you back to a hood somewhere with kids on the corner, others playing basketball on the court, and some barber opening his shop to go about his business. This catchy tune with easily memorable phrases literally “hypnotizes” a listener!
“On a roll” has one of the most engaging chorus sections there is, “I’m on a roll, that’s how it goes, that’s how you know I’m on a roll.” It features some hauntingly familiar keyboard keys accompanied by some extra percussion that sticks to the mind of a listener from just one listen. The striking synths and authentic rap beats are the capstones of this flavored tune that eclipses rap definitions in bona fide ways. The gentlemen give a lyrical show that will be talked of for days as they go on to display why they are at the level they are at!
“Covid 19” is far my favorite of all of them and you will easily understand why- it is brimming with charm and allure. The rhyme wordplay displayed by the duo as they fashion some rap wit is unlike anything you have heard before. The lines, “They say you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink, I say you can make something from nothing but I can’t make you think” by Killah Threat slaps hard than my father’s belt! There is a way they handle the sensitive issue around Covid in their own dynamic way whilst also managing to throw in some motivating bars that are meant to awaken the sleeping giants from within us. The dreams are ours for the chasing and we are reminded in some catchy and addicting rap session of that pure truth.
“Covid 19’ is really the mark of consummate hip-hop and rap extraordinariness- the flows are in perfect sync to the beats and theme on the show! “Overdose” feels like a Wayne x Snoop Dogg record! You might have given up on alcohol, but this smash hit will definitely get you high in an instance. There is a way these two manage to make a groundbreaking record off of the beats while still coloring the tune with their indelible footprint.
“Never Argue” starts from the onset with the catchy phrases from the digitally-made vocal drops that are soon joined in by the gentlemen’s club who go-ahead to make a killing off of this scintillating anthem. The line “I’d rather hit a n*gga with a bar stool” gets me every time!
There is fascination and style even in the other tunes such as, “Dress 2 Kill” and “Ain’t Gangsta Gangsta”. You will really struggle in picking out a favorite from this bewitching catalog and that is a good thing because now it means you elevate your playlist with more than enough hip-hop tunes that you can never get enough off!

Van Hechter’s “Boy Problems” Is a Deep and Danceable Bilingual Anthem for Anyone Tired of Lukewarm Love
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.

TR Craze brings his South Sudanese story to the gritty drill anthem “Tule Tule” with Jamaican-UK rapper Caine Marko
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.
