A mesmerizingly smooth, afro-beats infused jam, the Pride Zu-produced “Dolce” finds the Philly duo singing about the rewards of patience and in turn, perseverance. “Promise me you goin’ cheer me on and hold it down for the team, yeah yeah,” the pre-chorus goes.Their lyrics offer hope and the promise of better days despite the dark times one may be going through, especially when the journey is with a loved one.
“Dolce was inspired by the conversation between you and the loved ones around you to keep that promise to keep faith while coming from humble beginnings in order to see those rewards come later,” the duo shares with us.
While the Summer is coming to an end, “Dolce” is a reassuring, audible vacay that is just as breezy as it is bold.

Fresh off the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album JAMIE, which earned high praise from Billboard and The New York Times, and following his late-night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Montell Fish has announced his first headlining US tour A Night With A Ghost and released a new single“Hotel”.
The 11-date tour, which already is near sold-out, will find Montell face-to-face with the expansive fanbase (his crooning and heartfelt music has corralled 4m+ Spotify Monthly Listeners), while also giving him an opportunity to exhibit his knack for live performance and flex his dynamic showmanship.
“Hotel” is an evocative power ballad featuring robust big-body synths, warm and waining guitar licks, and his signature, richly melodious vocals–-amounting to a new, bold sound for Montell Fish. This month, Montell also released the JAMIEfilm, a complimentary project to the debut album, featuring exclusive, original music from Montell.
After releasing a stunning debut album, bringing his talents to late-night television, and continuing to reinvent his lucid sound––MontellFish is ready to usher in the next chapter of his career with the A Night With A Ghost Tour and his new single, “Hotel”. In the words of Montell:
“Hotel” is meant to represent the beginning of the next chapter after JAMIE, a kind of post-break-up anger. Instead of soft, ambient guitars I wanted to contrast it with dark heavy bass and a more rock guitar solo towards the end. I feel excited about going on tour, It’s like inviting people into another world.”
In 2019, 22-year-old rapper Mavi released his debut albumLet The Sun Talkto thunderous applause and widespread critical acclaim, and now, fresh off a tour with Jack Harlow and Babyface Ray, he has announced his sophomore albumLaughing So Hard It Hurts, out 10/14, and shared a new video single “Baking Soda”. His forthcoming album, Laughing So Hard It Hurts is a collection of eloquent soliloquies that bounce around the curious consciousness of Mavi––whether through the introspective analysis of his own self-worth, the indispensable appreciation and tenderness he has for his loved ones, or the anxious duality of striving to be a successful artist and also maintain his core political values––Mavi tackles it all. “Baking Soda”, produced by the famed Chicago multi-instrumentalist Monte Booker and recorded at Rick Rubin’s Burbank studio, is an earnest retelling of the obstacles and opportunities that line the walls of Mavi’s life––with his high-brow, acrobatic lyricism superbly fitting over an 8-bit sample chop and a warm, inviting pair of synths and strings. The Brick-directed visual for the track opens with Mavi’s infectious smile as he performs his pondering verse, followed by a montage of clips featuring his crew and his hometown of Charlotte. The influences that are wrapped up in Laughing So Hard It Hurts track the day-to-day apparatus of Mavi’s life––from studying the hard-hitting raps of Babyface Ray to admiring the soundtrack of the animated cult-classic show Adventure Time, the 16-track album offers the most holistic view of his life to date. With topics surrounding the lightest and darkest moments of his life, the love and support of his tight-knit community, and the prospect of possibly being a family man in the future, Laughing So Hard It Hurts(Out 10/14) are the rhythmic contemplations of an MC wise beyond his years, trying to make sense of the complex path laid before him. In words of Mavi:
“It was a really loving experience to put together this album––I feel relieved that this is coming out and I’m still slightly in disbelief. This isn’t the first album I made since the last album I dropped [Let The Sun Talk]––I made 2 albums since the last one was released, so this album coming out still feels a little imaginary…I don’t know when it’s gonna feel real quite yet, but I’m happy.“
