What a journey it has been since the announcement of my debut solo album, Jaime, in June 2019. Though the pandemic halted all touring, it did allow me to collaborate remotely with artists and producers that have inspired me over the years. pic.twitter.com/9ibLh2QR11
Last week I was blessed to have a chit chat with artist, producer, and record label owner Andrew Thomas, who hails from Minnesota, and discussed his new single ” Liquor Talkin'”. He got to explain to me how the visual for the video came about, and how the shut down of 2020 allowed him to create a visual that will really works well for the single. We also talked about his upbringing on the native reservation, seeing Prince perform at Paisley Park prior to his untimely death as well as his musical talents.
Andrew has been blessed to produce music for Snoop Dogg, Waka Flocka, and plenty other artists from Minnesota!

In preparation for their upcoming new album “Space Craft” (out July 22), Chicago Hip Hop group Greenlight Music releases “CDC”, the first video off the album.
The album “Space Craft” was inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. Remaining true to their core point of view — social, political, and economic themes are addressed with freshly written rhymes and surgically calculated, innovative production by RP.
The music is a throwback to the Golden Era of Hip Hop, reminiscent of 1990’s collaboratives like the Native Tongues, and best known for groups like Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, and more.
Check out the “CDC” video below and be on the lookout for “Space Craft”, dropping July 22nd.
GREENLIGHTS Music is a production group created by Producer/Engineer/Emcee Andrés Roldan aka RP (former frontman for the live Chicago Hip Hop group Abstract Giants). They have been performing live as a band for over 4 years. A collaboration of sorts, the group features many talented musicians, singers, emcees and djs.
GREENLIGHTS Music is the definition of socially and politically conscious Hiphop who definitely brings back “Golden Era” boom-bap beats with modern day hifi production.
XnationalZ, the group project of Los Angeles’ producer/ rapper iota_arcane and producer Namo, releases their latest effort “NeveRTHELess”.
Entirely produced by Namo and written by iota_arcane, this release is an intellectual journey of thought and wordplay and a unique approach to entertainment.
Iota_arcane’s curious way of storytelling stands out so much that the words on NeVeRTHELess were printed in a limited run of poetry books to go along with a small production of cassette tapes (available via Bandcamp). The poetry book has an extra poem that didn’t make the final music project but was all penciled in while sky starring on iota’s stoop.
