dESH.DUBS goes drilling on all-new single ‘DUBSTAR’

Published

on

dESH PHOTO1

Following the success of 2021’s ‘Moye’, dESH.DUBS has released yet another single off his forthcoming album today. Titled ‘DUBSTAR’, the new song is a combative Drill song with Afro-Reggae stylings to it, accompanied by calming guitar melodies, heavy basslines, and war-like lyrics which were seemingly inspired by the Drill music scene in Africa and the UK.

Unlike the fast-paced flows of Drill emcees from the said zones, dESH opts for a slower yet energetic flow as he toasts the inviting production in his signature tone. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the highlight of dESH’s new release lies in its message. He is adamant like never before and very expressive about his contempt for untrustworthy persons and the Babylon system – a capitalist, colonial world system that raised them.

Also, unlike his previous album “Above the Wicked”, ‘DUBSTAR’ is tipped to be a snippet of what lies ahead – a diverse selection of incoming songs meant to re-introduce the Dutch-Zambian artist in a new light: “I am quite open to alternative forms of expression in terms of culture”, dESH remarked. “I listen to genres like Dubstep, Zambezi, UK Grime, Afrobeat, Drill, Reggae and conventional Hip-Hop, so of course I’d love to give listeners a taste of all that, starting with DUBSTAR’’. There’s also bits of self-aggrandizement on the new song, a fact dESH jokingly elaborates: “One must realize that braggadocio has traditionally been an important component of urban music culture. It is mostly used as a way to express self-respect. Am I saying anything new here?!”

Though unapologetically in your face this time around, dESH.DUBS doesn’t pose as a driller. Rather, he simply connects his husky tone and style to the aesthetics of Drill music. “I’d like to bring up one point here though, I am an African, and we approach or comprehend Drill music in a different way than individuals in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and even the United States. This song’s Drill is my drill and not their type”, he jokes.

“Drill music, like Reggae and Hip-Hop, is very much an expression of art to me, and I believe it has the potential to be highly innovative and dynamic. Drill could be about reality, could be a metaphor, fiction and so on. ‘DUBSTAR’, like Drill music, is me simply asking the listener to be open-minded”.

‘DUBSTAR’ was produced by Viper Beats (London, UK), engineered by Mosound Studio, (Zoetermeer, NL) and mastered by dESH’s longtime collaborator, Statinski (Amsterdam, NL).

Stay tuned for dESH.DUBS’ forthcoming album which is expected to drop before the end of the year. But till then keep ‘DUBSTAR’ on rotation by streaming or downloading it across all major digital platforms here: https://songwhip.com/deshdubs/dubstar

Doe Boy Presents much-anticipated full length album, 'BEEZY'

Making a statement as loudly as possible, critically acclaimed Cleveland hip-hop phenomenon Doe Boy proudly presents his anxiously awaited new project, BEEZY, today via Freebandz/Epic Records. Listen to BEEZY HERE.

The 16-track project unfolds as a rap blockbuster of the highest order. He attracted an A-list cohort of guests, including Future, G Herbo, and Roddy Ricch on the irresistible “TRY & SEE, Lily Yachty and Luh Tyler during the hilarious “KARDASHIANS, Lola Brooke on the punchy “DUMB,” EST GEE for the street anthem “PICK A SIDE, and Cleveland legends Krayzie Bone and Bizzy Bone on the haunting and hypnotic finale “GRIM REAPER.

Check out the full tracklisting below.

About the project, Doe Boy commented, “It tells my story, everything I’ve been through, all of the trials and tribulations I overcame, and where I’m at now. It’s all based on true stories. Nothing is fabricated. I’m going to give you everything. I’m elevated as a grown man now. I’m not a kid anymore. The way I move is bossed all the way up. I’ve come a long way from East Cleveland. BEEZY is my nickname, so this album is self-titled. It’s who I am today and all of the things that brought me here. This is all of my different moods all rolled up into one as BEEZY.

It also boasts the single “DEEP END” [feat. Don Toliver]. He just uncovered a cinematic music video for this melodic banger. Watch it HERE.

He initially teased BEEZY with “WAY I WALK.It has just begun to gain steam at DSPs. HipHopDX plugged it, and Rap Radar proclaimed, “The Freebandz rapper does his killer step to Hendrix Smoke, John Luther, and Nick Mira’s groove while delivering his cutthroat lyrics.

“WAY I WALK” hinges on a head-nodding and nostalgic Jennifer Lopez sample as Doe Boylocks into a bouncy flow. His cadence instantly captivates as he struts towards one of his catchiest choruses to date, “This just the way I walk. The accompanying visual showcases just that as he and a group of friends groove, smoke, and turn up outside in their neighborhood.

Last year, Doe Boy continued his rapid rise with the CATCH ME IF YOU CAN EP. It tallied over 10 million streams and earned critical plugs from the likes of Complex and RapRadar who noted, Doe Boy is hard to kill.” Perhaps REVOLT put it best by proclaiming, “If you not hip to Doe Boy by now, shame on you.

It’s time to get to know BEEZY….

Sam Smith & Madonna out with “VULGAR,”

In February 2023, Madonna introduced an arresting GRAMMY® Awards show performance by Sam Smith ft. Kim Petras. “Are you ready for some controversy?” she asked, before making a heartfelt speech. “If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative or dangerous,” she said, “You are definitely onto something.” The day after, with their fifth GRAMMY Award in hand, Sam headed into a Los Angeles studio with Madonna to record a fierce, unapologetic duet: “VULGAR.” Listen HERE. View the lyric video HERE.

 

A fearless, bold anthem, “VULGAR” honors every word of Madonna’s speech. It’s the celebratory sound of two artists conjoining in abandon, a meeting of wild minds, hooks and aesthetics, punctuated by an Eastern string break and bolstered by earth-shattering bass. It is a two-and-a-half minute slap-back to repression and a demand for respect. Released today by Capitol Records, the single was produced by ILYA for MXM Productions, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, Ryan Tedder, Jimmy Napes, Sam and Lauren D’elia, Madonna’s vocal producer and engineer.

 

Sam Smith is a multi-award-winning, multi-platinum-selling singer, songwriter and lightning rod for provocation. Their third studio album, Gloria, has sold over 40 million albums sold worldwide and been praised by Rolling Stone as “their deepest album yet.” Sam will launch the North American leg of GLORIA The Tour on July 25.
