A rapper, a singer, an engineer, a writer — an artist. Hailing from California, CHAZZY isn’t precisely a new comer to the music industry. With a past of penning a hook for a Glasses Malone guested track, vibing in the studio with Young Maylay [Lench Mob] to working with Krondon […]
Eastern European singer, Gojko, is taking on the American music industry by storm. He brings his unique blend of music, hailing from a politically unsettled Serbia.

‘Still Me’ is an awesomely polished and powerful piece of hip-hop with a mellow and almost jazz-inspired musicality that really brings something fresh to the stage.
