Interview: Lee Rixson Shares Insights on His Musical Journey

After Lee Rixson’s exceptional single “Broken Love” 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 Lee Rixson

Where do you originally hail from and where are you based now?

I never “hailed” from any one specific place.  I moved around a lot as a kid with my mom.  I still live in central WI, but feel the mountains calling me south in the near years.

“Broken Love” is captivating from the start to finish with a combination of unique beats and catchy lyrics. What was the inspiration behind the single?

I appreciate that.  “Broken Love” was a song that helped liberate feelings of broken love in my own personal life.  I like to think of “Broken Love” as the contrast to another single of mine “Before you Go”.  The inspiration for “Broken Love” stems from the gut feeling of knowing a relationship isn’t going to last.  Weather the fracture or fractures be within yourself, partner or each other.  I’m sure many can relate to staying in a relationship longer than you probably should.  Though, we stay anyway because it’ll get better or change right? “Oo baby don’t let me down” as one lyric sings in the song haha.

You have an amazing voice. Are you vocally trained?

Although I do sing, the vocals on “Broken Love” are not mine.  However, my voice can be heard on “Warm Your Heart” which is on Spotify as well.  “Broken Love” is a mixture of spliced vocals and mixed leads from a singer named Lewie B.  I’m not opposed to singing on my own produced tracks.  However, I find that I love working with different voices depending on what I feel the song needs & or what a song could benefit from musically, to make the listener feel the message/vibe.  I like being the one behind the scenes and being 100% hands on from start to finish.  Someday I’d like to release a personal EP with just my piano and vocals when I feel the timing is right.

What has remained as your constant source of inspiration?

The constants of life!  My music is a hybrid of many genres which I think reflects who I am as a person too.  I’m always open to new experiences, people, sounds, landscapes, ways of thinking, etc.  I feel it’s my job as an artist to experience life immensely and then report back to the world.

How do you motivate yourself when things are not going your way as your profession requires a lot of effort?

If making music ever starts to feel like work, then I need to reevaluate what it is I’m working on creatively.  Doing what you love should never feel like a task or work.  I stay motivated by learning the balance of knowing when to take a break, step back, and recharge.  Sometimes the longer you stare at something, the more it loses all its simplicity.  I’ve had some projects that I was really excited about in their beginning stages.  However, then my mind overthinks every decision making it lose its original spark that got me excited in the first place.

Do you have any dream collaborations? Who are they?

I’d love to work with SG Lewis or Alex Lustig.  SG Lewis has such a unique way of keeping you on your toes as a listener.  He has the best way of making each song he releases a totally new vibe.  He incorporates his own vocals too, usually to compliment the featured singer and or lead melodies in subtle ways.  Alex Lustig on the other hand just puts me in a trance with his smooth musical transitions and simplistic yet impactful songs.

What’s your motto or the advice you live by?

I want to pass the message that there is no “one way” to make music. Everyone asks what I would describe as my “sound” or what genre am I trying to be. Honestly, I like being a mix of all of them. To make magic and to keep growing/getting better you must take risks, have fun, and not be afraid to fail

Can we expect any upcoming projects soon? Please shed some light upon it.

I have a new single called “Going Home” coming out May 14th.  Just a couple more days!  It’s more of an instrumental piece that I wrote in dedication to the recent passing of my Grandfather & Aunt earlier this month.  The song was inspired by imagining the minutes felt before taking our last breath and “Going Home.”  This summer I’m going to focus on putting more quality into the songs I already have out though.  I’d really like to put energy into giving “Broken Love” and “Before you Go” music videos.

For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?

Perfect Is boring.

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.
