Celebrated award-winning artist and disability rights advocate Lachi’s “Out Of The Dark” featuring Medusa, is such a powerful message backed by an equally powerful performance.
Standing in her full radiant glory, Lachi is one of the most inspirational Black Women I’ve come across. I mean, everything about her is breathtaking, and her selfless commitment to making the world a better place, especially by championing for those living with disabilities, those the society has labeled misfits and undeserving, is one of the most desirable characteristics that Lachi possesses. Being blind herself, she has had to overcome so many prejudices and preconceptions from people who not only viewed her differently but also treated her in a different way. And as she grew older, reaching and surpassing what to others might have seemed insurmountable, she felt an inestimable urge to lend a hand to others like her and, in a selflessly inexpressible way, astonish a mean world with her acts of kindness. Through her RAMPD (Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities) company, she ensures that the unheard stories of those suffering with disabilities are amplified through heartfelt songwriting and profoundly touching records that are more than capable of competing with the best of them.
The way I view Lachi is that she is much more than just an artist or an advocate; she is a modern-day heroine. Her life and experiences are a testament to the power of self-belief and the courage to demand a seat at the table for those society may overlook. She leads with compassion, unyielding determination, and a vision for a better, more inclusive world.
“Out of The Dark” is a powerful release from Lachi and is part of an even huge “Mad Different” concert series that is meant to amplify the society’s underrepresented voices through powerful music and heartfelt storytelling, all filmed at Amazon Music Studios in New York City.
“Out of The Dark” is truly magical and embodies the inspiration behind the whole project; everyone’s voice matters. Through each note she sings, Lachi shows us what it means to be relentless in the pursuit of equality, respect, and love, and their collaborator Medusa is spot-on with their spoken word-styled delivery, elevating the song to incredible heights.
I love music like this because it is the kind you feel more and experience as opposed to just listening. From the opening notes as Lachi envelops a listener in a warm embrace with her touchingly beautiful piano playing, evoking such profound emotions as her soulfully rich and emotion-fueled vocals immediately draw a listener in, down to the depth added by the inviting bongos, stunning cello, and precise bass, all the way to Medusa’s heart-touching poetic expression, “Out of The Dark” epitomizes the power of music to heal!
There is just something special about this performance. It is an anthem of resilience and passes on a strongly defiant message about being more accepting and humane to others that, for reasons that are everything but logic, we find different from us; be it their physical appearances, their sexual affiliations, or whichever.
“Out of The Dark” is also what happens when incredibly gifted musicians, composers, and performers come together, each recognizing what the other is worth. Magic was born here, and I have to give it to them for coming up with such a sonically pleasing masterpiece that has been backed by such empowering lyrics to inspire and uplift anyone who feels a little unaccepted by the society they live in.
I want you to imagine the haunting and magical feel of this fully-produced version and triple the effect—that’s how the acoustic version of this jam feels! Everything feels like they are levitating: Lachi’s beautiful and soulful voice, the piano and cello like they are floating on a surface of their own making, and Medusa’s spoken word is delivered with such lucid clarity…it is as if the words are being openly said to you!
Please listen to this music, enjoy it to the fullest, add it to your playlist, and follow Lachi everywhere @LachiMusic for more exclusives and surprise releases that she has in store this December.

Asheboro’s Hip-Hop Virtuoso Ty Bru Returns With a Nostalgically Epic Masterpiece, “We Ride” Featuring Karla B & Ceelo Green
A masterful fusion of grit, intellect, and innovation, Asheboro, NC native Ty Bru embodies the essence of renaissance creativity. He is a boundary-pushing force who doesn’t just make art but lives it. Rooted in the raw soul of old-school hip-hop and elevated by a modern, entrepreneurial edge, his sound and style reflect both reverence for tradition and fearless evolution. As a lyricist, his pen is sharp, his wordplay is intricate, his delivery is magnetic, and his themes are layered with depth, humor, and cultural insight. There has always been a cinematic quality to his music, perfectly merged with his award-winning filmmaking background, that makes every verse feel like a scene and every song a storyline. That visual sensibility bleeds into his fashion work too, where design becomes another mode of storytelling. He is a testament to the power of self-made artistry. He channels the hustle and vision of an Empire State of Mind, wherever he goes. Whether on stage or behind the camera, Ty moves like a creative music in motion—always evolving, always inspiring.
“We Ride” is the jam for every occasion; it is a sonic centerpiece that has been drenched in that R&B-soul-hip-hop vibe, making it the perfect jam to unwind to or set the mood for something bigger than you.
Hitting a listener right in the nostalgia, this was the perfect treat by Ty Bru as he keeps up with his promise of a brand new jam every other Monday. The legendary, unabashedly flamboyant CeeLo Green brings that global vibe that is unmistakable (as has always been), but it is in the soulfulness, richness, and warmness of female vocalist Karla B that elevates this jam to life.
She’s got that powerhouse voice, and Ty was right to include her in this project and give her the freedom to do with it whatever she deems fit because, girl! Does she eat it up? The track takes you back to the spring or summer of 1993, and the cool music is playing on that car stereo as you vibe endlessly to it and wish it lasts you a lifetime!
The production for “We Ride” leaves nothing to be desired: lush and still infectious, laid-back yet groovy, nostalgic, and quite simply timeless. Its appeal is unforgettable; the jam haunts you to the end of the world, and you still feel its presence even in the afterlife.
It is becoming apparent that Ty Bru has another hidden talent—assembling musical avengers!
Stop whatever it is you are doing and listen to some sonic magic that will take you back to a time of your own liking…this is fresh, original, elegant, and memorably infectious.
As such, “We Ride” it till eternity, if Ty doesn’t mind!

Florida-Based Singer-Songwriter and Rapper Kiwi Guava Delivers an R&B, Hip-Hop-Infused Party Starter Anthem Dubbed “Funds and Fun”
Existing in that cosmos where R&B and hip-hop collide peacefully and smoothly is the sonic architect Kiwi Guava, hailing from Broward County in Florida, where she has managed to create this genre-fluid sound she is proud to pass as her own. I know, you might be thinking that the duality of these two genres has existed long before she did, and while that may be true, she brings a certain, indubitable level of authenticity, originality, emotional range, and fun for a generally cohesive sound with replay value. Her hit single “Sober” is the perfect case study to explain the kind of artistic craftsmanship she brings to the table, blurring the lines of genre with an unmistakable appeal that cannot be denied by any listener, no matter what their preferences are.
“Funds and Fun” is another banger; a sonic centerpiece exuding the kind of rhythmic adrenaline, party-starting energy, and genre-bending vibes Kiwi Guava has become renowned for.
Drenched in both R&B and hip-hop spirit, this high-octane, genre-fusing banger perfectly blurs the lines between R&B, hip-hop, and electronic flair. It has been fueled by an infectious beat that pulses with electric energy, grabbing you from the jump, and it doesn’t let go.
The production is sleek, hypnotic, and minimal in the best way—letting the rhythm breathe while Guava’s expressive, rich, soulful, and rap-sung vocals and ad-libs punch through with charisma and swagger.
You can tell that she’s got the knack for this kind of delivery—she fits perfectly like a glove, her sing-song delivery exuding the finest print between singing and rapping.
Built for movement and mayhem, “Funds and Fun” thrives on repetition, cadence, and vibe—less about lyrical density and more about how the track feels. The hook is pure fire—catchy, chantable, and destined to become the backdrop to countless parties, TikToks, and late-night rides.
This is the kind of track that doesn’t just play—it takes over the room. With its pulsating bassline, futuristic synths, and a vocal delivery that’s equal parts charming and attention-winning, “Funds and Fun” is a celebration of living fast, spending free, and vibing hard.
To boost your playlist as much as your spirits, check out the track below and relish! Also be on the lookout for the brand-new music video that will be released on April 16th.
