Dim Mak Records’ rapper Will Brennan made waves with his latest release “Interest” featuring CUZ Lightyear, Dre Moon, and ManMan Savage and now he’s back with some hazy visuals for it. Directed by The Brave Cat the video is simple with an interesting twist. Here’s what Brennan had to say about it when speaking to Complex: “When we set out to make this video, we wanted to create a scene that would be the ideal place where our music would be heard. And we thought that a group of girls hotboxing their car would be a fitting visual to this song. We didn’t see the sinister turn at the end coming until it happened.” Enjoy the visuals above!
PRODUCER: Nuri LATEST RELEASE:Lightning EP | Stream
Pro Club member Nuri linked up with Kilo Kish, TT the Artist, and Alexa Lima for his latest release “Sometimes”. This track combines singing, rapping, and an upbeat tempo that just makes me wanna dance all night. The record came about during the Bonnaroo festival a few months back and was recorded at Red Bull Music Academy’s on-site studio, here’s Nuri’s recollection of how the track was created:
“We had all met the night before when first arriving at the Red Bull camp grounds and the next morning, I went into one of the empty studios and began working on the record. Alexa Lima had walked in the room and I asked her to work on the record with me. We picked some sounds together and she played that creepy staccato melody. I had spoken to Kish the night before about getting on a record together so when the beat was about halfway done, Kish, came into the room and started writing to it. Kish thought it would be great to add a rap verse at the end, so we asked TT the Artist, to finish off the track. We wrote and recorded the entire track in about three hours. When people work on music together for the first time it’s not always a walk in the park, but we all kinda just clicked that day and just made something that was natural and organic for us.”

Dim Mak Records’ only rapper Will Brennan is making waves with his latest release, “Interest”. The rapper enlists CUZ Lightyear, Dre Moon, and ManMan Savage who accompany him on the record each adding their own flavor and smoothing out the overall sound of the record with SkuFL handling the production. When describing the meaning of the record to The FADER, Brennan said: “This is a song about the spark that happens when you meet someone that you actually enjoy sharing conversation and silence with. You can find them in a crowded room and they pique your interest. The song tries to capture that feeling of when you don’t want this first meeting to stop cause you don’t want to worry about what happens next.” Take a listen above and be sure to check out his previous record “Smoke & Mirrors“ and catch him performing live this Saturday, August 15 at TAKEOFFxLANDING.

Truly DEF has made his way onto our pages with his latest single “The Isms” released through Extract Studios featuring fellow Orlando native NIKO IS.

Take a listen above and absorb some of the realness exuded in this track.
PRODUCER: Ayo The Producer ENGINEERED BY: Damijin’ Myndz ARTWORK BY: Jon Boy
If you weren’t already convinced that Kim is a man of many talents, you can use his latest single “Nomy” as an example. The track feautures some bangin’ production from Ayo The Producer then Kim comes along rapping AND singing about a special lady. Although this record caters more to a female audience, he doesn’t compromise his lyricism and still manages to switch up his flow. Bless your ears by taking a listen above and bless your ears some more by listening to his previous single “Did To Yuh”.
