DelvinHailing 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!

Remington Brown, alias Auto Music, is not your typical artist. He possesses a unique voice with diverse tones, writing and singing from a place of both tenderness and strength. With alternative and psychedelic rock as his musical foundation, he showcases an innate ability to navigate different sounds while maintaining his unique style. The music here has also been forged through that energetic punk and garage sound, blended with creative finesse to mirror a grunge aesthetic, as Remington showcases an unmatched genre-bending creativity that transcends stylistic barriers in the most innovative of ways.
He returns with ‘Mill Town Folk,’ a haunting and addictive musical gift. This single seamlessly blends captivating elements of grunge and pop punk, enhanced by an irresistible psychedelic feel.
Right from the opening notes, “Mill Town Folk” has a grasp over a listener, refusing to let go until the final notes fade away. The guitar riffs are incredible, showcasing Remington’s virtuosic playing that underscores the track’s energy.
His vocals are distinct, and their dreamy feel underscores the psychedelic quality of this track. The way they ebb and flow through the immersive soundscape breathes life into the song, making it memorable and catchy.
“Mill Town Folk” hits you with its soaring vocals and dynamic tones. There is a driving drum beat that melds with the keys and guitar chops to push the song forward. While the melody is edgier than Auto Music’s usual style, the track remains laid-back yet expressive.
Rocking guitars accompany the mysterious lyrics, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
If you had missed the era of grunge and pop-punk, then Remington Brown brings the era back with this accomplished performance that I have no doubt will serve to further elevate him into international acclaim.

Spanning six tracks and 17 minutes and 28 seconds, this project is a spiritual journey, an exploration of faith, and a celebration of the human experience. The collaborations were spot on with each guest artist bringing their A-game and contributing to this wholesome and memorable listening experience.

The captivating beat is backed appropriately by some powerful lyrics that exalt God and acknowledge His presence in our lives. The catchy hooks make this an unforgettable anthem that will continue playing in your head for the rest of the day.
When we talk about soul-stirring and touching, then we are talking about that performance in “Therapy.” This is therapy for your soul as the guest artist DSB emotively performs over the compelling production, his emotional words hitting the exposed soul. This tune is a showcase of soulful vocals and lyrical expressiveness in an honest way, capturing the essence of God’s grace to heal your broken spirit and make you whole again.
“Meet Me at the Altar” is another bona fide standout featuring the incredibly gifted female vocalist Morenikeji who wears her heart on her sleeves, tugging at a listener’s heartstrings with such a heartfelt delivery. This tune sees Imperial 1ne skillfully blend R&B and hip-hop, and the result really speaks for itself. I really felt that performance!
“God’s favor” features a mellow and emotive production as Afrotunes breathes life in a memorable way, speaking highly of the beauty of the Lord.

DelvinAll the way from Italy, Arimatea took a keen interest in music from an early age. She then embarked on a dedicated journey to hone her craft and perfect her musical compositions. What began as a budding passion for singing and songwriting transformed into a full-blown obsession that has seen her create beautiful songs, both released and unreleased. Her 2006 debut album “A Sentimental Journey…from Italy to U.S.A” won her popular acclaim from the music press as well as the hearts of fans and critics. She has been building on her success to create catchy, timeless sounds within the realms of eclectic music. Her sound is diverse, incorporating shades of R&B, pop, jazz, and soul, showcasing a singer/songwriter whose versatility is matched only by her smoothness.
Arimatea’s new single “Loved (I Am Surrounded By Love)” is a soul-stirring journey through emotions, wrapped in a pop-soul melody that tugs at the heartstrings. The track begins with gentle instrumentation that builds slowly, mirroring the introspective nature of Arimatea’s raw and honest lyrics. As her soulful vocals weave through the melody, they convey a raw vulnerability that resonates deeply with listeners.
As the song’s structure unfolds like a conversation with oneself, I love how Arimatea’s vocals soar in that chorus, she showcases such impressive range and power as the poignant lyrics paint a vivid picture of inner turmoil, but also offer a glimmer of hope and resilience.
Musically, “Loved (I Am Surrounded By Love)” blends elements of pop and soul seamlessly, with lush arrangements and soulful melodies that elevate the emotional depth of the song. The instrumentation, from gentle piano chords to Rhodes, synth bass, Hammond organ, piano, sampled winds, and drums, creates a rich sonic landscape that perfectly complements Arimatea’s heartfelt vocals.
Overall, “Loved (I Am Surrounded By Love)” is a testament to the universal human experience of navigating through difficult emotions and finding solace in the love that surrounds us, even in our darkest moments. It’s a soulful and inspiring anthem that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.
I couldn’t be more excited to recommend this indescribably beautiful and emotional body of work to you. Let it strike a chord with your heart and soul.
