South Carolina rapper Blacc Zacc sat down with Remixd Magazine’s Tallie Spencer via Instagram Live. The Interscope signee broke down his relationship with DaBaby, his work ethic, the state of music in his hometown of Columbia, his recent album 308 Legend, among other things.
Zacc and DaBaby, both of whom are signed to South Coast Music Group — a prominent label for Carolina acts — collabed on the records “Bang” and “Tuesday,” and are close friends outside of music, according to Zacc. Baby helped instill the value of consistency into the 27-year-old rapper, telling him to “Do your thing, [the fans] will catch on to it later.”
Zacc credits much of his success to a hustler’s mentality stating, “Can’t nobody force you to do nothing … you gotta really want to do it. I can take you to the studio but if you can’t go in there and record and make a song then [the ability to hustle] ain’t in you.”

For his Remixd Mag debut, Compton newcomer YS shows you the pain with his new visual for “In My Eyes”. Continuing with his prolific progression, the Compton emcee pours his ice cold heart out over the cool, melodic Trademark production. Although YS jumpstarted his career with rowdy gangster rap anthems such as his Sada Baby collaboration “Mobsters”, he has recently showcased he has the ability to make melodic pain music such as “In My Eyes” and “Deep Thoughts” (produced by 10Fiftyy). This is YS at his most vulnerable yet, as he croons “I done felt a lot of pain, you can see it in my eyes”. He does however notify listeners that he stays dangerous with lyrics like “a couple people up on my list, we better not cross ways”. The Bijan Productions directed visual, displays YS and his squad sliding across the city, hitting the studio and retiring to their respective section.

Philadelphia trio, PRLM CHLD, deliver their highly-anticipated debut EP, PRLM CHLD Vol. 1. Members Scottie Kash, Hovlaine, and Pride Zu, are the three who are responsible for a majority of the production. Their latest release, Vol. 1 is a powerful, and much welcomed introduction to this gifted group.
“PRLM Vol. 1 means a lot since it’s the first project I ever dropped as an artist. I’ve been making music for years producing and writing but I always held back on releasing for one reason or another. My journey with PRLM CHLD has been synonymous with my personal journey.. and one of the most important things I’ve learned along this journey is that my imperfections are a big part of what makes me special..” Pride Zu shares with Remixd Magazine.
Including elements of Hip Hop, R&B, and Reggae, Vol. 1 is a short, yet impressively diverse body of work that effortlessly balances politically charged social commentary with the vibes needed to keep any bashment jumping.
“Yo-Yo is my favorite record because it gives you a taste of West Indian Caribbean culture. It instantly makes you want to move your body and let the stress go. The fun, carefree and sensual energy is good vibes for sure,” Hovlaine comments.
With the only feature being FH Snoop on stand out, wine-inducing track “Body,” PRLM CHLD give themselves plenty of room to showcase their array of skills. From setting the tone on the intro with the melodic and confident “Run Me My Shit,” the entrancingly moody, “Party,” and an anthem for apprehensive millennials, “Heart on the Shelf,” Vol. 1, has a little something for everyone to enjoy.
“Heart on the Shelf,” Vol. 1, has a little something for everyone to enjoy. “Heart on the shelf is a personal favorite of mine cause it speaks on the importance of protecting your heart and energy.. it’s too often that we give our whole selves to people that don’t value us how we value ourselves,” Scottie Kash adds.
