See Your Shadow Unveils Their New Single "I Know My Worth"

Sheer genius is demonstrated by the fascinating versatile artist and songwriter Michael Coleman in his new single “I Know My Worth” We’re lucky enough to have sneaked in for an interview with a talented artist. He was generous enough to lend some of his precious moments as we gleefully stumbled deep into his personal and professional life. Here are some excerpts from the interview:

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

Well, I always wanted to do a female empowerment anthem and it was not until we released our second South African iTunes Country Chart Number 1, “My Worth” that this project started to take shape.  The original southern rock instrumental caught the attention of South African DJ Sentrixx and he and I collaborated on remixing the southern rock instrumental into a dance record and when I heard the remix, I knew that I had finally found what I was looking for in terms of the track to write the lyrics to.  Female empowerment, and empowerment in general, has always been a passion of mine and it just all came together.

What sets your music apart?  What is unique or at least uncommon?

I think what sets See Your Shadow apart and what is unique about us is that we are always thinking outside of the box and bucking conventional norms.  Take “I Know My Worth” as an example, it combines so many different elements to a cohesive unit.  It is the first dance record with the banjo as a lead instrument.  It is the first hick hop record done by a woman of color and when we start the piece out you think it is going in one direction and we totally take you in a different direction.   I love doing things that have never been done before.

What or who has influenced your sound and style?

This is an interesting question because there are elements from a musical perspective and then from a writing perspective.  From a musical perspective I am always influenced by the session players, they truly are the soul of all the music that not only I create, but so many others create as well, yet those people never become famous.  It is that level of passion that they bring to the table that really is paramount to the success of a piece.  Now from a writing perspective, Paul Simon is a big influence as well as the Motown writing team of Holland/Dozier/Holland.

Describe your favorite and least favorite part about being a musician.

I think my favorite part about what we do with See Your Shadow is the emotion we translate to our audience.  When you make an impact on somebody with your work whether it be brining a smile to their face, making them laugh or cry and be impacted by your work.  That really is the beauty of music.  My least favorite thing I would say is as an independent you have to work twice as hard and that every time you turn around there is a new social media platform you must become familiar with.

Do you have any dream collaborations?  Who are they?

I would absolutely love to collaborate with Quentin Tarantino.  I also am a filmmaker and I love his work and I think that it would be great to do a project with him.  Now from a music standpoint, there are so many, probably too many to name, but I tend to want to work with the old timers before everyone starts dying off.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

Most people don’t know that I am Black.  No just kidding.  A lot of people don’t know that I use to run a mental health clinic when I was younger, and I am pretty good at Jeopardy.

If you had one message to give your fans what would it be?

I think right now the most important message for us all is to get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible.  I am a hugger and I want to start being able to hug again.  I am famous for my hugs.

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

You know 2020 was so rough on everybody from a standpoint of not only the pandemic, but all of the social unrest around the world and I think that it is so important that we as people just give out kindness and be open to receiving kindness.  Kind words can sometimes literally mean the difference between life and death to someone who is feeling badly.

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.
