PREMIERE: Croosh & Sean Buck – Ascend Into The Universe [LP]

DOWNLOAD: Ascend Into The Universe by Croosh & Sean Buck

Croosh and Sean Buck teamed up for a project called Ascend Into The Universe. The 12-track LP features production from hometown heroes Danny Dee and ShowOffBeats, as well as a bonus feature from the MIAnimal Kairo Lavo3. The recurring theme of this polished body of work is just vibes…good, positive vibes spread throughout, with lush, celestial soundscapes, smooth basslines, and hard-hitting drums that make for a fully-ridable album. Ascend Into The Universe is a product of South Florida in the truest sense. Croosh advises listeners in the very beginning: “If you got the papers, nahmean, roll up…if you got a drink, put it in the air…and if you’re just cruisin’ right now, roll all the windows down…feel the breeze…feel the vibe…” Respect the vibe, folks. Press play.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Ryshon Jones

by .

Philadelphia’s very own Ryshon Jones has been making his fair share of noise in the rap game. The 23-year-old MC first hit the internet in 2011, with several mixtape releases that had production from rising Chicago producer Thelonious Martin (“New Jet City” by Curren$y) and West Palm Beach’s own Danny Dee (“Brad Jordan” by Isaiah Rashad), garnering the attention of bloggers and fans alike. However, it was not until his breakthrough project Hope Is A Dangerous Thing that some major looks would start to come his way, from Vice/Noisey interviews to Complex premieres. Having released such an abstract and artistically mature body of work with critical acclaim, he was able to touch big stages on multiple occasions at events such as SXSW, A3C, CMJ, and recently opening for Big KRIT and Two-9 on their Pay Attention tour. Continuing a streak of career-building performances, the Philly rapper will touch down in Miami and bless the stage on Saturday, February 28th, at Rolling Loud Festival.
