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!
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.
