February ended on a high note with a special release. For the first time since 2022, Teddy Grahams unveiled his much-anticipated single "Freak on You," featuring Diipps, Saay Park, and Kony Brooks. This track transports us back to the vibrant nights of 2016-2018 when Teddy Grahams and Kony Brooks, along with the rest of ICMG 2 Deep, dominated every stage in New York City. In many ways, Katie Kay has often remarked that he somehow inherited all the producing prowess from his father, Prince , by transforming the No Letting Go beat into a high-energy mix of lyrical intensity and Caribbean melodies, enhanced by the vocals of Saay Park and Diipps. This has become the new go-to vibe for Friday nights. One thing for sure, no pun intended to his earlier project but one thing we can see is the consistency that Teddy has put out as far as has musical content and theme sticking to the Thot Boy persona Freak on You continues the trend that When Night Falls has started showcasing a more X-Rated yet mature version of Grahams. From the producing to the bars we see the changes in word play, will this song lead us to a possible video or more from the Bronx native? Having both Kony Brooks and Teddy Grahams featured on the same track was a real treat. Reflecting on the nostalgic elements of this track, those familiar with New York City's independent hip-hop scene would recognize how Kony Brooks and Teddy Grahams stood out, from their captivating stage presence to their raw energy when the beat hit. If there were an OG set list, this song could have been the opener, offering a glimpse of what ICMG 2 Deep has to offer. They each contribute distinctive and dynamic elements to the song. The combination of the Alpha and the Omega captivates you with their presence as they complement each other's chemistry and performance skills. Including Saay Park and Diipps enhances the song, making it the sexy and confidently executed piece we hear today. Follow him everywhere @iamteddygrahams7

Photo by CHARLIE DE KEERSMAECKER After more than 25 years together, Triggerfinger aren’t interested in becoming a nostalgia act. The Belgian trio has built its reputation on raw power and explosive live shows, but with “Come Clean”, they open a new chapter shaped by time, change, loss and renewed creative hunger. Following a long break, side projects, and the passing of founding bassist Monsieur Paul, the band returns with a fresh perspective while holding on to the chemistry that’s carried them for nearly three decades. In this conversation, Triggerfinger reflect on evolution, honesty, working again with producer Mitchell Froom, and what still drives them to plug in and start over. • After 25 years as a band, how do you stop Triggerfinger from becoming a museum piece of its own past? As a band, we try to challenge ourselves by not repeating the same things over and over again. We’re also different people now than when we started, older, with more life experience, more baggage, kids, relationships... all of that shapes who we are. That naturally brings new perspectives and new stories to tell, and that’s a great thing. • “Come Clean” is described as a shift in your musical DNA. Was changing your sound exciting, or a little terrifying? When we write music, we don’t consciously think about changing our sound or direction. We just follow the flow and make the music we like. But making a new album is always challenging, it’s stepping into the unknown, and that can surprise you in the best ways. It was also great working with Mitchell Froom again. He’s an old-school producer with a strong sense for arrangement, and he approaches things differently every time. He really encourages you to be like a child on a playground to experiment and make mistakes. • Fans know Triggerfinger for raw, overdriven power. This track feels tighter and more rhythm-driven. Were you deliberately trying to surprise people? We never do anything deliberately to surprise people. We simply follow what we like musically. Over the past 25 years, we’ve always explored different sides of our sound even on earlier records we had softer or more subtle tracks. Variety has always been part of who we are. • You’ve worked with Mitchell Froom for years. At this stage of your career, what does he still challenge you to do differently? Working with Mitchell again was fantastic. He has a deep understanding of song arrangement and constantly finds new ways to approach things. He pushes you to stay curious, to experiment, and to allow yourself to make mistakes. That sense of freedom keeps you evolving as a band. • You took a long sabbatical after 2019. When you finally came back together, did the band feel familiar or did it feel like starting over? The break actually started after our 2018 tour celebrating 20 years of the band. We felt it was a good moment for everyone to explore other projects, Ruben made a solo record, I worked on Sloper, and Paul released his own material. Then COVID hit, and everything was postponed for another three years. After the pandemic, we started playing smaller summer festivals, so we saw each other regularly again. So it never felt like starting all over again. • Ruben talks in the song about the difficulty of confessing feelings. After decades in the spotlight, is honesty harder or easier than it used to be? It really depends on the situation. But as long as you stay honest with yourself, things usually fall into place in the end. • The band has lived through huge highs—opening for the Stones, viral success with “I Follow Rivers”—and also real loss. How has that shaped the way you approach making music now? All of those experiences shape you as a person. The highs and the lows, whatever the reason leave their mark. Often it happens unconsciously when you write. It influences how you see the world today, or how you look back at the past from a distance. All of that feeds into the music. • With Monsieur Paul’s passing last year, continuing the band must carry a lot of emotion. Does being on stage together feel different since then? Paul had already stepped away from the band about two years earlier due to health reasons, so we had begun that transition before his passing. We played a series of farewell shows in Belgium and the Netherlands, which were very special. After that, Geoffrey Burton who had already been touring with us as a second guitarist stepped in to take over bass duties. Of course it’s emotional, but it’s also a continuation of something we built together. • You’ve always been known as a ferocious live act. When writing new material, are you thinking first about how it will feel on stage rather than on record? No, not at all. When we’re writing, we never think about the live aspect. That comes much later, when we start rehearsing for a tour. Then you sometimes feel instinctively that a song will really work on stage. It’s never a rule, it’s all about feeling and letting go. • After everything Triggerfinger has been through—breaks, changes, tragedy, and rebirth—what still gives you that “hunger” to plug in and start again? The hunger to make new music and the chemistry between us. That’s something you only truly understand after being in a band together for so long. We genuinely enjoy making records, and we love being on the road. We’ve been doing this for 28 years now, and it’s still a lot of fun. Why change a winning team?

A passionate enthusiast of music, hip hop, and entertainment culture, NWO Sparrow organized events for both young and adult creatives and independents while pursuing journalism and establishing an independent media empire. During the pandemic, he dedicated one hour every Tuesday to produce a news broadcast with his team on NWO News , targeting both independent and mainstream media. Aspiring to become a household name and the next Voice of New York , he has interviewed both local and prominent figures such as French Montana, Rey Mysterio, Skitz Kraven, and Natalia Neidhart . At Rawrrzone, we have had the privilege of collaborating with him creatively and in media, and we are proud to feature him as our January Rawrrzone Spotlight for 2026. 1) The question we all want to know is, when you started NWO during the pandemic did you think this is where your journey would take you?  When I started NWO during the pandemic, there was no master plan beyond going live on Roku and Facebook Watch and showing up consistently. I never imagined it would grow into what it is today. Even now, I’m still surprised by the emails, the outreach, and the trust brands and publicists place in me to be part of their rollouts. At the beginning, I was just focused on building something I like and I found entertaining. I definitely did not see this path coming when I first hit record. I'm thankful for it all no doubt , but it was never the plan. 2) You brand yourself as a major voice in NYC , how has New York culture shaped your writing and your approach to media? Growing up in New York, nobody is impressed by celebrities or elites, and I’m no different. It teaches you to see things for what they really are, not through rose colored lenses. That perspective has shaped how I write and approach the media. Sometimes that honesty can work against you, but more often than not, it’s been my greatest advantage. I don’t act a certain way just because I’m from NYC , I move from the reality of being here. This is how it actually is. 3) What inspired you to blend hip-hop, WWE, sports, and culture into your storytelling? To be completely honest, I applied to cover WWE and forgot all about it. Months later, when I got the call saying I was selected, I was shocked. That moment made it clear I couldn’t take the opportunity lightly. Pro wrestling is something I am a huge lifelong fan of but it was never something I planned to add to my catalog. It happened organically. Once it did, I made a commitment to show up prepared, respect the culture of its media , and earn my credibility in that space. 3)  You write with an “edge” and bring raw voices to culture stories — how do you maintain authenticity while covering so many topics? Basically i just say how i feel about whatever topic , if you say how you feel and you dont try to trend chase , clout chase , or people please and just say how YOU feel , it will always be authentic , it will always be honest of you and you can never be caught up in a "gotcha moment" . We in a time where people think keeping it real means keeping up with the algorithm , then they look back on shit they post or write years later and feel bad . I know how i feel , i know what i think , may that change later through time and wisdom? maybe but i can still stand on what i say and said. 4) How do you feel about the evolution of NWO from the Broadcast on Youtube to starting the Panic Room? What should we expect to see through 2026?  I started NWO News in the corner of a room. As the brand grew, so did the demand, and I realized I needed a proper headquarters. When I opened NWO Studio, it hit me that I had a blank canvas , a space where I could build and create without limits. I could have just kept running NWO News, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to expand. NWO Studio is a grown man’s creative space, and who knows , another show might come from it too. For 2026, the plan is simple , stick to my core productions and deliver even more for the audience. 5)  You’re active on video, written, and social platforms — which format do you feel gives you the most creative freedom, and why? Writing platforms definitely give me the most freedom. I’m a better writer than I am a talker, and writing lets me shape my ideas exactly how I want. 6) You write with an “edge” and bring raw voices to culture stories — how do you maintain authenticity while covering so many topics? i just say how i feel about whatever topic , if you say how you feel and you dont try to trend chase , clout chase , or people please and just say how YOU feel , it will always be authentic , it will always be honest of you and you can never be caught up in a "gotcha moment" . We in a time where people think keeping it real means keeping up with the algorithm, then they look back on shit they post or write years later and feel bad . I know how i feel , i know what i think , may that change later through time and wisdom? maybe but i can still stand on what i say and said. 7)  What’s one misconception people have about being a journalist in today’s digital media landscape? A lot of people think being a journalist is easy or just about clout base performance. It’s not. Anyone can start a blog or post stories online, but the real work is becoming a credible voice , someone who preserves culture, moves the needle, and covers topics that are often gatekept or ignored. That’s where the challenge lies. At a certain level, journalism isn’t about chasing clout; it’s about building credibility and that line is thin, which is why so many misunderstand the role. 8) Who do you feel the NYC media game is overlooking as far as talent?  I think NYC is missing authenticity and realism right now. Too many people are focused on building a brand or landing one big interview, rather than really covering the culture. Media has shifted from a background profession to full-on spotlight, and in 2026, some media personalities are more famous than the talent they’re supposed to be promoting. A lot of work out there is lazy , people want to be seen or be part of something without understanding it. Real journalists who know the craft, the culture, and the talent are often overlooked. Authentic voices get lost in the shuffle, and that’s a problem. 9) You’re known for having strong opinions on artistry and culture. When you put together your personal Top Artist list, what matters more to you—impact, consistency, lyricism, or momentum? And how does that compare to how you think XXL selects their Freshman list every year? When I put my list together, I don’t look at it as impact versus consistency or lyricism versus momentum. I start with the theme of the year. In music, especially in hip-hop, every year carries a different focus. Some years are single-driven. Others are video-driven, image-driven, performance-driven, or even content-creation-driven. The culture shifts yearly, and my list reflects that shift instead of forcing artists into one fixed standard. For 2026, I’m approaching it differently by focusing on top songs and bringing in other voices from media. It won’t be based solely on my perspective. I don’t pretend to know every artist or every scene, and I think acknowledging that actually helps the culture. Inviting other credible voices into the process allows the list to be broader, more accurate, and more reflective of what’s really happening across the landscape. In 2025, the theme was motion. I paid attention to artists who were actively working and evolving, not just repeating the same copy-and-paste formula year after year. Growth mattered. If an artist was only releasing singles in 2023 but stepped it up in 2024 with two or three videos, stronger visuals, or new creative approaches, that showed progression. That kind of movement counted. Distinct motion and visible growth are what earned artists a spot on the 2025 list. That’s where my approach differs from how XXL typically selects their Freshman list. Their process often leans toward buzz, visibility, and who is breaking through at a specific moment. My lists are less about hype and more about trajectory. I’m looking at how artists are building, how they’re adapting to the moment, and whether they’re pushing themselves forward creatively. For me, the list is about documenting growth within the culture, not just spotlighting who’s loudest at the time. 10) We’ve seen heavy backlash around XXL picks—fans saying certain artists are “industry plants,” others saying real talent gets overlooked. As someone who understands both the culture and the business, how do you think artists should handle that backlash when they make lists like that or get left off? Does the criticism matter, or does it come with the territory? When I put my list together, I don’t look at it as impact versus consistency or lyricism versus momentum. I start with the theme of the year. In music, especially in hip-hop, every year carries a different focus. Some years are single-driven. Others are video-driven, image-driven, performance-driven, or even content-creation-driven. The culture shifts yearly, and my list reflects that shift instead of forcing artists into one fixed standard. For 2026, I’m approaching it differently by focusing on top songs and bringing in other voices from media. It won’t be based solely on my perspective. I don’t pretend to know every artist or every scene, and I think acknowledging that actually helps the culture. Inviting other credible voices into the process allows the list to be broader, more accurate, and more reflective of what’s really happening across the landscape. In 2025, the theme was motion. I paid attention to artists who were actively working and evolving, not just repeating the same copy-and-paste formula year after year. Growth mattered. If an artist was only releasing singles in 2023 but stepped it up in 2024 with two or three videos, stronger visuals, or new creative approaches, that showed progression. That kind of movement counted. Distinct motion and visible growth are what earned artists a spot on the 2025 list. That’s where my approach differs from how XXL typically selects their Freshman list. Their process often leans toward buzz, visibility, and who is breaking through at a specific moment. My lists are less about hype and more about trajectory. I’m looking at how artists are building, how they’re adapting to the moment, and whether they’re pushing themselves forward creatively. For me, the list is about documenting growth within the culture, not just spotlighting who’s loudest at the time. 11) How does it feel to have mainstream media looking out for you? Do you see yourself being a radio host down the line for either Hot 97 or Power 105?  Being considered by mainstream outlets wasn’t a goal of mine until it actually happened. But let’s be real , radio isn’t the “mainstream” it once was. Today, mainstream media lives in social platforms and podcasts. Right now, I have creative freedom and untampered commentary. If I ever chose to move into traditional radio, it would have to allow me to keep my voice and be authentically me. I’ve gotten this far by staying true to myself, and I’m not willing to trade that for a paycheck or a radio badge. 12)  What’s a goal you haven’t achieved yet that you’re most excited about pursuing next? One goal I’m most excited to tackle next is converting my Meta audience over to YouTube. It’s been a challenge, especially with YouTube payouts increasing, and looking back, I probably should have started there first. But it’s a move I’m ready to make, and I’m excited for the growth it could bring. 13) Name three interviews or experiences that made you realize you were on the right path as a journalist? Three experiences really made me realize I was on the right path as a journalist. Landing the WrestleMania 40 gig completely shifted my perspective , I thought, okay, I must be doing something right. Being invited to the BET Awards in 2022 was huge, especially getting on camera, which was a great moment. And getting the opportunity to work with Complex Magazine was the ultimate confirmation that going all-in with media was the right decision. 14) When its all said and done what do you want to be remembered for?  I can’t answer what I want to be remembered for just yet , there’s still so much more work to do. My focus is on building, creating, and delivering my best  while I’m still in the middle of the journey. 15) Whats next?  As for what’s next? I leave that up to God and time , let’s see where it takes me.

In a world often centered on hustle, perfection, and productivity, Jovana Surillo and All Things Good   offers something radically different: space to heal, reflect, and reconnect with what is still good. Rooted in storytelling, visual art, spirituality, and mental health coaching, this conversation explores how creativity becomes a bridge between pain and purpose. From poetry-filled notebooks in childhood to intuitive abstract art, from unlearning shame to reclaiming softness, this interview is a powerful testament to what happens when we choose authenticity over survival. Through honest reflection, spiritual clarity, and lived experience, she reminds us that healing is not about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who we’ve always been. 1) What first inspired you to blend storytelling, visual art, and coaching into your creative work? For me, everything I create is a byproduct of who I am at my core: hope and healing. My work exists to be a light in a world so often fixated on despair—to remind people that restoration is possible. What inspired me to blend storytelling, visual art, and coaching into my creative world was finally embracing myself fully and choosing to live authentically. When I honored who I truly am, my creativity naturally expanded into a space where healing, expression, and transformation could meet. 2) Which came first for you: poetry, art , or podcasting?  Poetry came first.  As a young girl I would fill my notebooks with story telling and use my imagination to create a world that was different from my current reality. 3) Can you describe a moment when art became a powerful turning point in your own healing journey? Growing up, I carried many suppressed emotions. It wasn’t until I began to deepen my connection with God that I understood the importance of healing—of allowing myself to feel and release what I had held inside for so long. I remember one moment in particular: I played an instrumental, began to paint, and found myself crying without knowing what would emerge. When the piece was complete, I titled it Garden of Eden, because I had never felt so held, seen, or close to God in that moment. 4) How have your spirituality and the church helped guide you as a coach , as well as an artist and storyteller? This is an important question, and I have to answer it honestly—because anything less would dishonor my story. The church and God are not the same. Being involved in ministry helped shape my path into coaching, because it revealed a lifelong desire to help and serve others. However, the church did not guide me toward my artistry; if anything, it limited it. Anything that existed outside of what was considered “traditional” ministry was often labeled as not of God . It was spirituality beyond rigid rules and man-made expectations that led me toward acceptance and freedom. In that space, I was finally able to pour into my creativity and fully cultivate the gifts I had been given. 5) How do you feel art heals? I believe art heals because it allows us to tap deep into our soul and bring to life untold stories untold pain or even untold glory.  Art doesn't just heal, it celebrates it exposes, it illuminates things that are not often expressed.  6) What motivated you to start All Things Good Fun fact about me: I always dreamed of being a radio personality or talk show host. I’ve always been outgoing, expressive, and curious about people. But somewhere along the way, I lost myself. For years, I didn’t use my voice to share my opinions, experiences, or wisdom. I honestly refused to be seen. I hid parts of myself for a long time. After detaching from certain organizations and relationships, I made the decision to bet on myself—to take a real chance on my dreams. One day, I sat in silence with myself, and in that stillness, I had a vision of myself podcasting. I asked God what I should name it, and I heard, All Things Good. The name resonated deeply, because I was in the process of rewiring my subconscious mind to recognize and expect good things. So I trusted it—and I ran with it. 7) How do you choose guests and topics for your show? I choose guests and topics based on alignment, not popularity. All Things Good is rooted in mental health, self-development, and hope, so every conversation has to serve that purpose. I’m drawn to guests who are honest about their journey—people who are doing the inner work, not just talking about success. Whether they’re coaches, creatives, or thought leaders, the focus is always on how healing, self-awareness, and growth show up in their lives and in the way they support others. Topics are chosen intentionally. I center conversations around emotional intelligence, identity, mindset, breaking generational patterns, and learning how to see and create good—even in seasons that are uncomfortable. The goal is for listeners to leave feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that growth and healing are possible. 8) What patterns do you most often see in people’s stories — and how do you help people reframe them? I often see people struggle to trust themselves after years of shame and manipulation. Over time, they begin to doubt their inner knowing—questioning what God is speaking to them and second-guessing the decisions they feel called to make, after allowing codependency and shame to lead for far too long. I help them reframe this story by first accepting what is, then practicing forgiveness. I remind them that they never lost the ability to make the right decisions—they simply forgot what it felt like to choose themselves again. 9) Which episode has challenged you the most, and why? I would say the episode that challenged me the most was Episode 26 with my guest, Rebel, titled “Embracing Your Divine Feminine.” After years of living in hustle mode and being “strong” within the ministry world, I had to begin unlearning deeply rooted belief systems around masculinity and femininity. At the time, I was still learning how to balance work and rest, strength and softness, boundaries and emotional openness. Setting boundaries was no longer an  issue for me—but allowing softness, slowing down, and fully embracing my emotions was a lesson still unfolding. Through this episode, I learned that both masculine and feminine energies exist within all of us, regardless of gender, and that healing comes through learning how to balance these polarities rather than rejecting one for the other. This conversation challenged me to fully step into the fullness of my femininity and to move away from operating in toxic masculinity—manifested through overworking, constant productivity, lack of rest, and the absence of play, joy, and creativity. 10) Your art is beautiful. Looking at the different pieces, I see themes of music and forms of resilience? What is your process like when creating an art piece? Thank you so much— that truly means a lot to me. I’m grateful that resilience is a common thread you see woven through both my work and my music. Music has always been my first love, and over time I found myself translating that love into poetry and display it through my art.  My abstract work is deeply emotional and intuitive rather than something I overthink. I allow myself to flow freely, trusting the process. Only afterward do I reflect on what I was led to create and how it mirrors what may be unfolding in my own life. My most recent abstract piece, titled “Shift,” was created during a season of profound change—a moment when many things in my life were transforming and moving in a positive direction. My photo montage work follows a similar rhythm. I’ll see an image of a woman, and ideas begin to pour in naturally. I bring together different elements to create a visual story—one that speaks to shared experiences and resonates deeply with women. 11) Tell us about your support system , how important is it for us creatives to have a support system? Having support is one thing but having the right support is everything! I think it is important for creatives to listen to listen and trust their gut feeling when something or someone is not sitting right within. The wrong support will cause you to shrink and hide your giftings but the right ones will pour into those talents and create a space for you to be authentically you. Not according to what they think you should do but what feels true to you as an artist.  I would say do not force or rush connections and support. Let them flow organically or else you will be forcing something and connections that may not be for you.  12) What inspired you to become a Mental Health coach? I’ve always had a deep passion for helping people and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. Once I discovered what was holding me back, I realized I could help others uncover what has been holding them back as well—and guide them toward steps that are aligned with their unique journey. At the core, we all want to understand why we are where we are and how to move forward. I love helping people gain that clarity and supporting them as they reconnect with their most authentic self. 13) You talk about breaking free from shame and codependency — what does that process look like in real life? Breaking free from codependency and shame is not easy. It takes awareness but it also takes accountability. Accountability for the roles we played in toxic codependent friendships and relationships.  Shame causes people to forget who they are. It teaches them to shrink, to stay unseen, and in that shrinking they often take on identities that were never theirs to begin with. This is where self-awareness becomes essential. When we practice self-awareness, we learn to observe our thoughts and behaviors with compassion. We begin to discern which beliefs and patterns are authentically ours—and which ones are imposters formed through pain, fear, or survival. 14) What practices do you recommend for someone reconnecting with themselves after painful experiences? I always recommend starting with self-awareness and self-compassion. After painful experiences, the goal isn’t to rush into “fixing” yourself, but to gently observe your thoughts, emotions, and patterns without judgment. Creating moments of stillness—through prayer, journaling, or quiet reflection—helps rebuild trust with your inner voice. I also encourage people to practice honest self-expression, whether through writing, art, or movement, because healing happens when what’s inside is allowed to come out. Just as important is learning to set boundaries that protect your energy while allowing yourself rest, play, and grace. Reconnection isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you’ve always been. 15) How do you balance the spiritual, psychological, and creative elements in your work with clients? I love this question. I balance the spiritual, psychological, and creative elements in my work by first meeting each client where they are. Everyone's journey is unique so what worked for me may not work for someone else. I think this is often overlooked.  Spiritually, I help clients reconnect with their inner knowing and, when aligned, their relationship with God—learning to trust their intuition again. Psychologically, we explore patterns, beliefs, and behaviors shaped by trauma, shame, or survival, bringing awareness to what has been operating beneath the surface. Creativity is the bridge that allows both of those worlds to integrate. Through reflection, storytelling, and expressive practices, clients are able to access parts of themselves that logic alone can’t reach. When spirituality brings meaning, psychology brings understanding, and creativity brings expression, healing becomes a reality not just something they hope for.  16) How do you see your art and podcast influencing your listeners or community in tangible ways? I see my art and podcast creating tangible impact by helping people reconnect with what is still good within them. Through honest conversations and reflective art, listeners gain clarity around their experiences, begin to trust themselves again, and feel less alone in their healing. All Things Good isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about reminding people that growth, wholeness, and goodness are still possible, even after hard seasons. 17) What’s one lesson from a guest that completely shifted your perspective? This is a great question, and a difficult one to answer, because every guest has offered wisdom and encouragement in meaningful ways. However, if I had to choose one lesson that stayed with me, it would be something Jackie Cope shared in Episode 47, titled “Shedding the Shadow: Healing Self-Hate.” She spoke about how colonization and white supremacy are deeply embedded in our culture through perfectionism—the belief that everything must look a certain way or meet an impossible standard. What struck me most was her reminder that we rarely stop to question where these beliefs come from, even though they quietly shape how we see ourselves and our worth. 18) What’s next for you — any new art series, podcast seasons, or collaborations on the horizon?  Yes! I’m currently working on Season 2 of the All Things Good Podcast. The new season will launch first on Air 24/7 Roku TV, and will also be available across multiple platforms including Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and the WMNF.org 88.5 FM radio website. Beyond the podcast, I’m intentionally stepping out more to share my poetry and showcase my art. I’ve been a homebody for a while, but this season is about connection and community.

Originating from Sweden and now in America, Soulboy has enchanted audiences with his single This Ain't Love , which combines classic pop R&B with a modern twist. On Friday, January 30th, he amazed fans worldwide with The Beginning - EP , a four-track collection that introduces the leader of Soulfamily Entertainment. Upon first listening to Good Intentions , it reminded me of a blend between Justin Bieber's style and Tory Lanez's harmonies. The emotional tone focuses on honesty and the desire to approach love without manipulation or ego. SOULBOY presents himself as self-aware, recognizing that intentions are as important as actions. What's the Deal conveys a confessional vibe through its melody. This song explores the confusion of falling for someone and realizing that love alone isn't enough. Many have experienced someone in their life who sends mixed signals, leaving them unsure of which direction to take. We appreciate that he's not just singing to us but also becoming conversational, as if he's thinking out loud. The EP takes on a lighter tone with Girls , which has a more uplifting and energetic mood. It highlights the art of attraction between two people. It's remarkable to hear how artists from different countries can translate music and emotions in a way that resonates with them. Instead of delving into heartbreak, SOULBOY offers a broader perspective on relationships, choices, and patterns. It’s confident yet reflective — honest rather than dismissive. This song adds balance and perspective to the project. BYMHK stands out with its piano melodies and lyrics. When Soulboy sings "Why Why," we sense an essence of Michael Jackson's Human Nature , but his grounded emotional approach gives us a Mario-like feel, allowing the melodies to play as he spaces out his verses, making them more impactful. THE BEGINNING isn't about making grand statements — it's about intentional storytelling. SOULBOY uses brevity to his advantage, presenting a focused project that showcases his emotional voice without overstaying its welcome.

Queens, prepare for another standout track from Ravenswood's own Rose Jay. "Vinyl" is a mood-centric piece that highlights atmosphere, texture, and intent, avoiding mainstream glamour. The song is profoundly introspective, crafted for late-night listening and reflective moments rather than instant excitement. Maintaining his distinct Queens rhythm, he delivers a warm, analog vibe, with a gentle roughness reminiscent of vinyl's crackle and soul. Rather than relying on overproduced layers, the instrumental offers space to breathe—enabling each element to fit seamlessly into the mix. The beat flows with a consistent, natural rhythm, forming a hypnotic loop that feels more meditative than forceful. This decision enhances the record's overall tone, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the vibe instead of hurrying through it. Having observed his evolution over the years, Vinyl is highly refined, and we are witnessing a more mature Rose Jay. "Vinyl 3" serves as a reminder that a record doesn't have to be loud to make an impact. Jay Rose offers a track that benefits from patience and multiple listens, demonstrating that subtlety and purpose still have significance in today's music scene. This is an album for thinkers, creators, and those who value music as an atmosphere, not merely a fleeting moment. Follow him on Instagram Stream Vinyl Now
