A brilliant display of high-energy hip hop featuring amazing finesse by Lucky Ezy. The lyrical grandeurs and heavy melodies of the track “Cash On Me” are breathtaking.  It’s the trademark of the very talented American versatile artist.

We caught up with the rapper when he dropped his latest single and congratulated him on his success. He agreed to an interview quite instantly, and we spoke to him about different aspects related to his work and his personal life. Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

Thank you for speaking with us at African Hype. What’s the first thing you hope new listeners feel when listening to your music?

When people first listen to my music, I want them to feel my emotions that I put into the song. I love making music that feels good for the soul. It is important to make music that resonates with the way you feel, or else it will not be good.

“Cash On Me” is captivating from the very start with its combination of hyped upbeats and catchy lyrics. What was the process like when you were blending this song together?

I went to the studio to record this song. I record the vocals over the beat and the engineer did his thing with the blending of the music to make sure it was the right tone.

Which release of yours has had a large impact on your life, whether the storyline was based on a life experience or the process of putting the song together helped you approach music production differently?

I think every song I make I try to make it the best. Even though I may not have the professional tools at times, I make the most of what I have. I do my research on the best mastering software and all to make sure my song sounds right.

You’ve released an array of new music this past year. What’s been your biggest accomplishment so far?

Just making music is a big accomplishment, because so many people doubt me, but I just do what I can and listen to less of what they have to say.

What inspired you to pursue music?

I stated off singing in the choir as a little boy. My mom made us go to choir ever Saturday and sometimes we sang on Sundays in front of the church. I had stage fright, so I was in the back. I started off making beats and then made an EP. Signed a distribution deal with Bentley Records for about a year and then going independent since then. Being independent is dope because you can drop music whenever you want. You don’t have to listen to anyone tell you this or that. Its dope.

Do you have any dream collaborations? Who are they?

I want to work with Chris brown or drake.

You made some significant progress in 2020. How did the Global pandemic affect your career?

It didn’t It just pushed me to work harder.

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

GOD is the greatest.

The Traveling High Priest delivers a transcendental anthem featuring the phenomenally gifted Jhonni Blaze

The Traveling High Priest delivers a transcendental anthem featuring the phenomenally gifted Jhonni Blaze

With a biography that reads like a mystery, I’d best describe The Traveling High Priest as a prophetic spiritual phenomenon wrapped in the form of an artist, minister, and messenger. His artistry does not operate within the ordinary boundaries of music alone; it feels like a fusion of prophecy, spoken-word ministry, gospel rap, spiritual storytelling, and supernatural theater. He presents himself less as a conventional entertainer and more as a vessel carrying divine revelation through sound, speech, prayer, and presence. Welcome aboard!

Now that we are here, it wouldn’t hurt to talk about that ethereal performance he recently delivered with the single “Right One” featuring female vocalist Jhonni Blaze. This is a spiritually charged and emotionally immersive collaboration and marks The Traveling High Priest’s first-ever gospel release and serves as the official lead single from his highly anticipated upcoming album. Already generating major momentum online — including nearly one thousand TikTok creations — “Right One” is quickly proving itself to be more than just a song; it is becoming a movement of healing, reflection, faith, and emotional honesty.

From the very first seconds, “Right One” creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and transcendent. The intro arrives like a warm tropical breeze, carried by silky island-infused rhythms that sway with grace rather than force. The cadence is smooth, fluid, and deeply inviting. Gentle Afro-Caribbean percussion rolls beneath the production with hypnotic precision, allowing the beat to breathe naturally while soft melodic textures drift across the instrumental like sunlight reflecting on ocean waves. Every element feels intentional, warm, and emotionally alive.

The song immediately finds its emotional center through Jhonni Blaze’s unforgettable hook:
“You said you’d change. I believe every word. Gave you my heart even when it hurt. Stayed through the nights when love felt cold. Held on to you when I should have let go.”

Her delivery is soulful, vulnerable, and magnetic — setting the emotional tone for the entire record while bringing a powerful sense of human fragility and longing to the forefront. Then comes the arrival of The Traveling High Priest, whose entrance completely transforms the energy of the track. Delivering in his divinely inspired and unclassified spiritual language, he brings an otherworldly presence that feels less like conventional performance and more like prophetic expression poured directly into sound.

As he enters, the production effortlessly morphs into a floating, atmospheric Afro-Amapiano groove layered with minimalist yet deeply textured percussion. The beat does not rush. It lingers. It breathes. Dusty underground drums, airy melodic spacing, and smoky rhythmic textures create a hypnotic sonic environment where every word, cadence, and vocal inflection carries spiritual weight. Even without understanding the exact language, listeners can feel the emotional and spiritual gravity behind his delivery.

The chemistry between The Traveling High Priest and Jhonni Blaze becomes one of the song’s defining strengths. Her melodic vulnerability and his spiritually charged presence complement each other perfectly, creating a listening experience that feels healing, uplifting, and emotionally transporting. As the groovy Amapiano stabs settle into the mix and the fading harmonies dissolve into the instrumental atmosphere, “Right One” leaves listeners suspended in reflection, faith, and feeling.

The accompanying music video further elevates the experience. Visually stunning and cinematic in presentation, the video places both artists in a scenic studio-inspired environment filled with striking photography, immersive lighting, and captivating aesthetics. Rather than relying on excessive distractions, the visual allows the music, emotion, and chemistry between the artists to remain the focal point — making it the perfect companion piece to a record already resonating deeply with audiences worldwide.

For The Traveling High Priest Thee, “Right One” is not simply another release — it is testimony transformed into music. Speaking openly about his battles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, he reveals that the song was born directly from GOD’s guidance and his own personal journey toward healing and purpose.

That sincerity pulses throughout every second of “Right One.” Beneath its lush production and hypnotic groove lies a deeper message about spiritual discernment, emotional boundaries, redemption, and divine direction. The Traveling High Priest Thee uses the song not only as art, but as ministry — encouraging listeners to stop walking into doors GOD never granted and to trust the path GOD has designed specifically for them.

“Right One” is available now on YouTube and continues to gain momentum across streaming and social platforms as listeners around the world connect with its message of healing, faith, surrender, and transformation.

Check it out, subscribe to his channel, stream, save and share this divine masterpiece.

Mr.Reaper turns My Escape into a shadowed search for freedom through fear inner conflict and spiritual clarity

Mr.Reaper turns My Escape into a shadowed search for freedom through fear inner conflict and spiritual clarity

In an era when plenty of hip hop chases whatever trend is loudest, Mr.Reaper arrives with something darker and more inward looking. “My Escape” is a haunting new single that moves between psychological pressure and spiritual reckoning, turning fear into the starting point for a deeper kind of release.

At 2 minutes and 37 seconds, the track wastes no time building its world. From the opening moments, the atmosphere feels cold, eerie, and cinematic, like a signal coming from somewhere far away. It pulls the listener into a shadowed mental space where reality feels unstable and escape is less certain than it first appears.

That tension comes through clearly in one of the song’s most memorable lines: “We’re in a simulation, I don’t think they understand…”

The line lingers because it feels philosophical without becoming abstract. It speaks directly to the song’s central struggle, the need to break out of unseen mental and emotional traps.

As the production expands, heavy hip hop drums take control. Booming 808s, rumbling bass, and sharp hi hats give the track a tense, cinematic weight. The beat feels alive, built with purpose, and it gives Mr.Reaper the space to step fully into his darker lyrical persona.

Once he enters that space, he owns it.

Mr.Reaper moves across the beat with control and conviction. His voice is deep, steady, and commanding, carrying each line with emotional force. When he delivers:

“I can’t see, I can’t breathe, I’m surrounded by this mystery praying to God…”

“From darkness to light, we must choose what is in the light…”

“Walking to my destiny…”

the words feel like pieces of an inner conversation. They capture the pull between despair and hope, confusion and clarity, pain and transformation.

At its core, “My Escape” is a song about liberation. Not from a place, but from the prisons people carry inside themselves. It explores fear, betrayal, pressure, self doubt, and the identities that can form around pain. The track plays like a psychological and spiritual battle, where the hardest enemy to face is often the one within.

Still, there is awakening inside the darkness.

The title “My Escape” does not feel like a retreat. It feels like recognition. Freedom, in this song, comes from facing what hurts, understanding it, and turning that struggle into strength. The message is rooted in resilience, growth, and self mastery.

The cover art sharpens that idea. Its half human, half skeletal portrait reflects the tension between life and death, identity and shadow, reality and illusion. The skull suggests mortality and inner demons, while the human side points toward consciousness and awareness. Like the song, the image is bold, unsettling, and symbolic enough to stay with you.

With “My Escape,” Mr.Reaper delivers a release that feels deliberate, emotionally charged, and thought provoking. In a crowded musical landscape, his voice cuts through because it sounds committed to something real.

The journey inward may be the darkest path, but Mr.Reaper presents it as the one that leads toward true freedom.

RICHMOND, Calif., May 3, 2026, Pop singer, pianist, actress, and creative artist Eye’z has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund her long awaited debut album, “…The Album…,” a full length project rooted in soul, personal expression, and artistic independence.

The campaign is now live on Kickstarter and has raised US$1,145 toward its US$20,000 goal, with 7 backers and 38 days remaining at the time of this release. The all or nothing campaign must reach its funding goal by Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 9:03 AM UTC+3 in order to receive funding.

For Eye’z, this album represents years of dedication, growth, and determination. After several attempts to record the project, she is turning to listeners, fans, and supporters of independent music to help bring the album to life with the care and quality it deserves.

“I’m Eye’z, a pop artist with my own style that rings through my soul,” says Eye’z. “I don’t like being compared to other artists even when there are similarities because what I create is my own.”

The album is intended to capture Eye’z as she hears herself, with more creativity, freedom, and emotional honesty than she has been able to fully realize before. Her influences include Judy Garland, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, Fats Waller, Marian Anderson, and Jackie Wilson. While reflecting on the project, Eye’z says she was especially inspired by Jackie Wilson’s album “Beautiful Day.”

“Music isn’t just music from me, it’s artistry. It’s completeness,” she shares through the campaign. “This campaign is to help me finally create my full length album.”

Funds raised through Kickstarter will help cover studio production, recording in a studio with a grand piano, compatible audio engineers, music video production, marketing, promotion, and live performance expenses. Eye’z also plans to celebrate the album’s debut with a special live performance in the Bay Area, bringing together supporters, musicians, and fans for a release event filled with music, energy, and gratitude.

“One of the most exciting parts of this project will be celebrating the album’s debut with a live performance for fans,” says Eye’z. “I plan to organize a special concert in the Bay Area to mark the release, an unforgettable night filled with music, energy, and gratitude.”

The Kickstarter campaign includes several reward tiers for backers.

Eye’z says she plans to keep backers updated throughout the album making process and views supporters as an essential part of the journey.

“For the most part I plan on diving in and keeping in contact with all backers to update you on the progress of my album,” she says. “BECAUSE YOU ARE THE RECORD LABEL! LOL”

For Eye’z, the campaign is about more than funding an album. It is about creating a meaningful body of work and sharing it with the people who believe in her voice, her artistry, and her story.

“Let’s make some memorable music together,” says Eye’z. “It’s SHOWTIME!”
