I try to incorporate fast and melodic flows n my shi so my shi can’t really get boring, you know? Describe your creative process I usually test melodies first and then just come up with a catchy one-liner or good opening bar, den just go on after.

Your latest single, “Choose” has such a cool sound. What went into making it? Do you have a favorite song on it? Choose was just a remix of Guillotine by Pierre Bourne. I always fucked with the melody and his beats, so it was really easy to hop on. How’d you first get into making music? I first started makin music 2020 with my patna @iluvno.9 when I was like 14.

I listen to hella artists and bands like Deftones, Nirvana, Audioslave, Jane’s Addiction, PATD!, Soundgarden, and artists like Quannic, Tame Impala, Natasha Ramos, Aaliyah, and Frank Ocean. I was heavy into underground growing up, so rappers like Carti, Dsav, Thouxanban, BoofPaxkmooky, and X really shaped my sound, along with other mainstream rappers I grew up listening to like Thug, Future, Wayne, Petey Pablo, Cam’ron, Eminem, Tyler and Earl, and J. Cole. What have you been working on lately? Any new music soon? I got my EP TeMani coming out this weekend. And I been workin my tape Audioslave coming out hella soon, maybe September, we’ll see lol.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT TWELFTH April 18th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners Noise pop and shoegaze blended with tints of glitch, rap, and metal Describe your creative process I'll usually be thinking about lyrics or something I could use as a topic in a song and then just flow on whatever beat I choose and just make the song from there. No planning or any complicated steps I just kinda get in the studio and make something, and if I like it enough I'll put the whole thing together or work on it off and on. Your latest album, “I’m not, I’m just” is such a cool and dynamic project. How was that album created? What is your personal favorite track on that album? I'm Not, I'm Just is probably my favorite project I've ever done, I started working on it in May-June of 2024 and was working very hard on it throughout the rest of 2024 and until it was released. I'm honestly not set on an absolute favorite track on the album because I always change my mind or have phases loving a song from my albums- But as of right now it would definitely be zombie, it's my most abrasive, noisy, and experimental song I've ever done and xandrey killed it on the mixing. It was really hard to put it all together when I made it I almost cut it from the album but I'm glad I did finish and put it out and I'm very happy to see the attention it's been getting How’d you first get into making music? I started making music in fifth grade, I was inspired by a lot of popular rap around that time, like Polo G, DaBaby, and Roddy Ricch and I started messing around with Bandlab and eventually started dropping rap songs on Soundcloud under a different name Where do you find the inspiration to create music? My biggest inspirations are definitely my favorite artists and just the music scene as a whole- I really have Quadeca to thank for really introducing me to different genres besides hip-hop after he dropped I Didn't Mean to Haunt You. That album definitely started my love for music as a whole and that's when I started to really get involved with the Album of the Year community, deadAir artists, and other genres that I never thought I would be into. Any new music soon? can't say too much but definitely have been in the mix What music have you been listening to recently? I've been nonstop listening to underground rap, Jane Remover's newest album has been on repeat lately but I also really like che & nettspend. and if you aren't tapped in to Daniel Kashule yet trust me you must get tapped in

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Evan Sturtevant July 5th 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners Soft rock, 70's R&B, god music, every song has a little god in it. Describe your creative process Figure out all I'm trying to say, find something catchy, copy that as the melody. How’d you first get into making music? I first got into making music in audio engineering school at Dark Horse Institute. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? I find the inspiration in something that I find I want to share, a message others could appreciate. What have you been working on lately? Any new music soon? I'm releasing my demo album after over a year of hard work every week. The single Yahweh should be finished on CDBaby and on major platforms this week. The album I'm hoping to have out on 7-11-25.

I've been listening to the artists that are playing the festivals I'm attending — Dom Dolla for Bonnaroo, and half•alive for Lollapalooza.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT JOEY AICH December 6th 2024 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners. My music is a modern twist on the 90s (Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, De La Soul, etc) and 2010s blog era (Lupe, J Cole, Kid Cudi, Mac Miller, Asher Roth, and many more). A big emphasis on storytelling and using my personal experiences to paint on the canvas that is recorded music and stage performances. I'm a professional dreamer and hopefully my music inspires others to dream as well. How and when did you get into music? I got into entertainment at an early age. I was always involved with church and school plays and choir. Once I got older I gravitated towards poetry and the meanings of lyrics and storytelling. I would print and read lyrics of my favorite songs to try to figure out metaphors, entendres, connections to life events, and that shaped what I wanted to be as a writer. Growing up in Woodmere Village, a suburb outside of Cleveland, OH, I was very anti to the idea of being a "Rapper" in high school. I would hear people around the area who called themselves rappers and everything felt fake (lyrics and image) and I didn't want to be considered similar so I kept my songs to myself and used it more as a diary. I gained more confidence right before going to college and that's when I started to release my own original music and the first time I performed my own music I was hooked and realized this is what I wanted to do. I got that same feeling as a kid when I started entertaining to begin with! Creative Process? My process goes in a cycle. Since my lyrics are very personal experience based, I use my life to fuel the lyrics. So I have to live, I have to go through new experiences so I can share and relate to those who listen. After that, I reach out to my team of producers who I've worked with over the years and then the stories and production form where I'm headed and I go from there. Outside of that, I am the owner of Joey Aich Entertainment, LLC, so I run the show and operate my Patreon, study analytics, research opportunities to perform, craft release strategies, and find ways to be useful in multiple capacities within the community. ink of a feeling or memory, lots of the time having to do with nostalgia, and I try to capture how that would sound and feel to me. Where do you find inspiration? I find my inspiration from my lived experiences. As a fan of music first, I knew when I was younger the songs that really resonated with me were the ones that hit my spirit during times where music was the only thing that could heal or amplify the time. To write songs like that are my own stories and others relate and tell me how it impacted them is special to me. I'm also inspired by my family and friends. I've been very blessed with incredible people around me and I never have to look far outside of my circle to be inspired. First and foremost, my parents are true examples of what I want to be, so talking to them and watching them inspires me to ALWAYS want to make them proud. Everyone around me does something special and it's almost like - How can I be the one that DOESN'T do something great too. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners begin with? Ooooh this is a hard one. So I'm big into sports and have built my brand with music and sports combined so I'll give a starting five of songs. I feel like Brown Liquor, Rope Break, Rossi on the Deck, Zoom, and Jenga III, are a good reflection of who I am as an artist. If you give those a try and enjoy what you hear, I know you'll like everything else because it's something in the catalog for you. Project wise, I'm into universe building and I feel like I'm creating a catalog that people can find easter eggs in so right now the center of the universe is Open Treehouse (Deluxe), it's a long album, but it tells you exactly who I am and how you can revisit albums like If Money Grew on Trees and AichFiles. But also, if you just like starting from the beginning, knock yourself out and start at AichFiles and enjoy the ride! Any new projects soon? Anything you'd like to promote Yes, currently I'm in a groove and working on a bunch of music and ready to unload the vault. I have a collaborative album on the way with my brother and frequent collaborator, Dave Zup, titled DUO. After that, in 2025 I am releasing a solo album. Also, I have a side project as well under a pseudonym where I will be releasing music very often. A lot to look forward to. What music have you been listening to recently? I've been running a melting pot of music so I'm just gonna list a few - that new Kendrick (obviously), Brijean (probably my most listened to group of the year, I gotta see them live), Dan Kye, Leon Thomas, Grandace, Liteweight Champion, and Tommy Richman and Tommy Richman adjacent music, Channel Tres, and the Ohio homies!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Rob Apollo December 20th 2024 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners I describe my music as contemporary debauchery. It’s chaotic, it’s fun, it’s hard, it’s inclusive. Like a zesty terrorist organization. How and when did you get into music? I started off by doing written rap battles when I was 14 in a kik messenger group chat with my friends lol. As a kid I was always a creative type, music just ended up being my specific calling I suppose. Describe your creative process. I smoke a cig on the porch then I go in the booth and make it happen. I punch in, I write, I source bars from friends. Whatever feels right. Where do you find inspiration? Real life experiences, especially from 2018-2022 when my life was more chaotic. The absurdity of every day life is enough to inspire. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners start with? Song I’d probably say ‘OBAMA.’ That’s pretty quintessential Rob Apollo. Project, l would be NSFW 2, it’s like a chaotic funhouse Any new projects soon? Anything you want to promote? I’m working on the final album in the trilogy, it’s titled NSFW 3: REDHEAD JACKASS. I’m promoting a Free Palestine to donate to some families What music have you been listening to lately? Christ Dillinger, the new Kendrick, Earl, MIKE, the new El Cousteau. And unreleased Rob Apollo of course.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT NATHIAS November 22th 2024 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners. I’d say it sounds like amateur singer-songwriter stuff, maybe a little folky at times, but ultimately pretty stripped back most of the time How and when did you get into music? I’ve always loved singing since I was a little kid, I’d run around in the backyard and make songs up, and I wanted to be like Michael Jackson. I started playing guitar a couple years ago because of my brother. He had taught himself how to play and I enjoyed listening to him playing around the house, so I bought a cheap guitar and gave it a try and I loved it. Honestly that’s when I really started to delve deeper into music and I started doing nothing but listening and learning about genres and artists and albums and recording, it’s become quite the obsession. Creative Process? My creative process is about searching and searching until something sparks motivation and being able to get the idea recorded, very poorly probably, just so I can listen and be able to drill it into my brain because otherwise i’ll forget. I pretty much exclusively write on guitar so once it becomes something repeatable and I can play it well then I just build upon it, and by that I just mean stretching the idea out into a full song in terms of length and structure. That’s when I start double tracking, adding more instruments, and I usually save the vocals and lyrics for last.My creative process is spontaneous. I can’t write or record songs unless i’m in the mood too, but a lot of my songs have been written in less than hour. Where do you find inspiration? It seems to always come from artists that I love, particularly what they are really good at that I wish I was good at. For example right now I’m really into elliott smith so I’ve become increasingly interested in chord progressions, and double tracking and all things elliott smith adjacent. Before it might’ve been Adrianne Lenker with her fingerpicking, or Nick Drake and his crazy tunings, or Linda Perhacs and the atmosphere of her songs, just anything my brain latches onto and won’t let me stop thinking about. That being said, eventually I hope to find more inspiration in things outside of other people because I don’t want to become derivative but I’m still figuring myself out as an artist so I’ll cut myself some slack for now. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners begin with? I think the best place to start would be Rain… or Cool As, I think those songs are my favourites. Although I am very proud of Haunts You. I think the first two I mentioned are more in line with the direction I’m going, for now at least. I’ll definitely want to comeback to the more psych, eery feelings of haunts you in the future though. Any new projects soon? Anything you'd like to promote I’m working on another EP at the moment, i’ve got a couple songs pretty much done now but still hacking away at a few more. I just appreciate anyone who lends an ear to what I do, and hopefully people are seeing potential in me cause I’m optimistic about my music, maybe naively so but optimistic nonetheless. What music have you been listening to recently? I’ve been really loving the new Laura Marling record, I think it’s beautiful, and of course the Magdalena Bay album is insane, lots of Figure 8 by Elliott Smith and one last artist I’ve come to really love in the past month or so is this guy .Michael. he makes such great great songs he’s got an album called The Puddle that came out this year and it’s fantastic.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT marado February 21st 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners Rock & Boom rnb with the intensity of rock as teezotouchdown once said and alt rnb I didn’t grow up listening to a lot of music because allow to listen to most music. I think this gives me an advantage of being unbiased when creating, and not being a copycat. HxH is a song that’s been popping off on social media and has a really inspiring story behind it, describe your process for making that song That was the most organic song I’ve made because it took a couple years to completely finish. The first part of that song was recorded when I was at work one day and happened to call a friend while doing a training sales video. I found the beat on YouTube years ago and it had almost no views at all less than 400 I think. I made the intro and put the beat together, but I wouldn’t completely write the song until a year later when I was homeless. Actually no I wrote the first part of the song when I I had a job, but I couldn’t write the second part of the song so I kind of gave up on it. Sometime later, when I I was periodically sleeping on my friends floor of the studio apartment I finished writing the lyrics there. I was thinking about killing myself how it would be a little bit easier than going on being a loser that no one kind of cared about. But I made a deal with God that if he helped me out in this moment and help me find something I was good at I would keep living. Then I freestyle the last part of the song after I was watching Hunter Hunter. The song was written and not recorded until a year later cause I didn’t have the money, but I found a Producer for my vocal class named Aaron Ruperto who is willing to record this song. Shout to Aaron and shout out to the main proper liamonthaaux How’d you first get into making music? This is a really long story, but basically when I had left being one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, I told myself that at least I would have money if I wasn’t gonna be as close to God(or be in a religion) I got a sales job that ended up paying me about six figures but deep down I really wanted to be a singer. I happen to get some free time from work and I drove down to Florida and met a girl who happened to lose my virginity to while listening to Frank Ocean. We were hanging out when I was singing after and she said I sounded just like him. She told me I should make music. Deep down I always wanted to anyways, so it kind of came full circle. This is just a really fast version of the story lol Where do you find the inspiration to create music? I find my inspiration to create music from the same place you find yourself when you’re wondering how you came to be here what it all means. I find inspiration the same way one would look at their vocabulary and wouldn’t use it. I also find inspiration in truth. Perspective truth, and absolute truth. You cannot lie and do music but you can entertain a reality that is untrue, but mean it. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners start with? If you love music, then the song for you is Hennessy & Honey If you’re a fan of art, figure it out outro is my favorite. So much of my personality and being is in that song. It’s completely one take. It was a random freestyle that just happened to come out of me when I was trying to figure out a way to win the industry in a way that wouldn’t make the industry happy but make everyone around me Happy. What’s next for Marado? What are some goals for 2025? I think this year that goes to drop a little bit of a longer project. People can enjoy and possibly working with more artist who care about the same things I care about. I wanna work with anybody in any genre, but they have to care about the things I care about. What music have you been listening to lately? Ive been listening to Roy Blair, Jean Dawson, & Mustafa

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Jardin February 28th 2025 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners my music goes all over the place, i like to do many different genres like indie rock in English and corridos tumbados in Spanish. i believe the versatility in my music represents me as a person and gives me no boundaries as an artist. “Lose Control” is my personal favorite song of yours, describe your creative process for that song. Lose Control was the first song i ever put vocals on, i had made the instrumental with my pawned guitar and midi keyboard on garageband and felt motivated to start singing. i loaded up bandlab with the regular apple headphones and just wrote what felt right for the song. it was really interesting trying to figure out how to do everything and i’m happy with how it came out. How’d you first get into making music? i started playing guitar when i was 15, but i never really thought about making music until my senior year of high school. Me and my friend Pablo, who helps me with my music a lot, started writing songs in the school parking lot. after i graduated, i started recording instrumentals and started writing songs from there. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? my influences and the music i listen to on the regular inspire me to keep creating. Steve Lacy is definitely one of my biggest influences, with his ‘bare maximum’ concept, seeing someone making such great music without using crazy expensive equipment was very inspirational and motivates me to get to that level of talent. What song/project should unfamiliar listeners start with? i would definitely recommend “FAST TRAK”, its my favorite song that i’ve released. hard hitting drums with chorus guitar and electric piano, very inspired by mac demarco’s style of music. i called it FAST TRAK because i made the instrumental and lyrics in one day. What’s next for Jardin? What are some goals for 2025? i want to improve the quality of my music and release more consistently this year. i also just want to have fun with what i’m doing and try new things like making music videos or collaborating with different artists. i would want to release an album in April with singles in March if everything goes well. What music have you been listening to recently? i’m always listening to artists like Steve Lacy, Mac Miller, Deftones and artists in spanish like Ivan Cornejo and DannyLux. i’ve also been listening to smaller artists doing really cool stuff like Sexto Sentimiento and Yrs Ant, hoping to collab with both of them in the future.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT BaeAk August 1st 2025 Describe your music for unfamiliar listeners I would describe my music as fresh yet nostalgic. I’m trying to create something unique to me and my ggang’s personal stories, while painting a broad picture most people can delve into. Describe your creative process It varies GREATLY, depending on the project. With any song it starts with a concept, and I might get the inspo for that doing literally anything. Sometimes I hear a beat that moves me, and I just start talking until the song is done. Or a lyric pops into my head, and it sticks with me until I’ve written a whole song. I’ve also been known to hear a beat, pull out my notebook, and have a whole hook and verse done in 15 minutes. It all just depends on how inspired I am in the moment. Your new, 4 track EP, “#BaeLovesYou3” has no skips. What went into making it? Do you have a favorite song on it? With the #BaeLovesYou series, my goal is to make 4 songs that sound good, and encapsulate whatever saga of life is ending. Going into the third installment, my only goal was to show how much we’ve evolved. Ggang is healthy, family’s good, bitches badder than ever, I moved outta my mum’s crib, shows are getting booked, and money is STILL green. I wanted to show off in style, and create something unique that only N2K could make. How’d you first get into making music? Brah, I’ve been making music since I could have my own thoughts. My first memories all revolve around a stage, some instrument, a microphone, or theater performance. The second I learned how to read and write, I started writing songs with Usher and T-Pain type beats on YouTube. I got my start performing with choirs, school bands, and in talent shows. Around age 15 I was producing beats on GarageBand and fooling around with online DAWs and shitty mics. I didn’t really start releasing a lot of music until late 2020, when I met Gerk. We started the first iteration of the clique and the rest is history. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? In my soul. Through the faith of my convictions and faith in Allah’s plan for me. In my everyday experiences and mistakes/lessons of my past, and in the assertion that the path to the future is guaranteed. You’ll hear me talk about the future a lot, because I believe we’re the generation that’s gonna change how things really run. We’ve already started influencing thought, how music is made, and events run in our cities. It’s only a matter of time and hard work. What have you been working on lately? Any new music soon? I’m working on a lot of music. New singles with big features, and music videos. My next project will probably come out in 2k26, it’s gonna be a lot more jazz and DnB influenced. I’m not slowing up though. A lot of singles in this current style in the meantime, to please the people. Other than music, what else have you been up to? I got a lot of other stuff in the works — merch, streaming, and vlogs. I’m trying to create a window into my life for everyone to enjoy. Also been playing Fortnite, gooning, learning and studying politics. Me and Gerk boutta go to Montana. I just been living life fr. What music have you been listening to lately? A lot of Che, Nettspend, 2Hollis. I fucked w some songs off that Tyler project, Clipse project was phenomenal. I’m a big album listener, so this what I had on repeat for some weeks: Lil old Town – DJ Lucas Star – 2Hollis Hood Luva Vol. 3 – Chavo Oi! – YT Fancy – That PinkPanthress

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT MAMA'S FUNK PALACE March 28th 2025 Describe the sound of your music for unfamiliar listeners Groovy, Funky, Upbeat, Feel-good, Soul Rock, R&B, Pop, Subliminal, Alternative, and Experimental Describe your creative process Our creative process is usually presenting a melody we created, and building upon it. After the melody is set in stone, we try to add layers of instruments or vocals. Lyrics usually come naturally with the creation of the song. Your new single + music video , “Queen Kung fu” shows great potential from the group. How was it created? Originally we were trying to emulate the comedic energy from the “Rush Hour Series” we wanted our debut song to be fun, catchy, comical, and universal How’d you first get into making music? We got into making music as a group quite spontaneously. Each of us always individually had a passion for music since we were young. But when we met, we knew we could create something greater as a collective because of what we each bring to the table. Where do you find the inspiration to create music? We find inspiration for creating music in many things. At times, inspiration comes from other artists, past and present. We also find much in our daily lives to take inspiration from. Whether it’s interactions with other people, the sunshine, pains we’ve faced and seek to overcome, and the prospect of being able to share our hearts with the world- and in turn possibly inspire others. Describe how you created your upcoming album, Queens N’ Kingdoms We produced some songs all on bandlab and others in professional studios. Conceptually, we wanted to remind ourselves and empower others that we are royalty by nature being the descendants of The Heavenly King. What music have you been listening to recently? Led Zeppelin, Prince, Paul McCartney & The Wings, StereoLab, Queen, The Sundays, and Steve Lacy!
