Brasstracks was co-founded by Ivan Jackson and Conor Rayne while studying jazz at New York’s Manhattan School of Music. Since forming in 2014, the duo have become one of music’s most in-demand horn/percussion duos, collaborating with the likes of Harry Styles, Anderson .Paak, Khalid, Mark Ronson and Wyclef Jean. In 2016, Brasstracks produced Chance The Rapper's hit single “No Problem,” which subsequently led to Grammy Wins for “Best Rap Performance” as well as “Best Rap Album” due to their contributions on Coloring Book.    Brasstracks released their debut album Golden Ticket in 2020 to widespread critical praise. The record featured an eclectic mix of collaborators, including modern rap and R&B titans such as Common, Masego, Tarriona “Tank” Ball of Tank & The Bangas, Robert Glasper and more.

The artist formerly known as YC the Cynic is taking a giant step forward on his new album Negus – one so big that it necessitated a whole new name, Kemba.   The Bronx native has always made music inspired by acts like Mos Def and Goodie Mob, who are lyrical and not afraid to address crucial contemporary issues. But he felt like his original rap name, bestowed at a young age and tied to the more traditional boom-bap sound that he established on his early releases, no longer fit this new material. The songs on Negus, while having no shortage of great raps, also allow a whole other side of his inspirations to shine through – their sense of melody.

Growth is ingrained in Pell's nature. Since taking the industry by storm in 2014, the electric New Orleans native, born Jared Pellerin, has continued to expand his sound and musicality. His stellar Floating While Dreaming mixtape garnered attention and praise from press across the board, including FADER, Billboard, XXL, Complex, among others, yet he never settled.

If Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, and Phil Collins got together with Sade, Erykah Badu and Nina Simone and made a freaky, smooth, swaggy love child; 9 months later, Anthony Flammia would be born. Born in Yonkers, NY, Flammia has found a way to re-vamp the term “mood music.” His ambient vibrations illuminating from the piano mixed with the smooth & soulful yet raspy & rugged timbre to his voice, he creates song after song that will melt your heart, only to put it back together and melt it once again. Born into a family of musicians, it almost seemed inevitable that Flamm would eventually cook up some food for the soul for everyone to sit back and enjoy. He is currently finishing his first project, Ups & Downs which will include his internet buzzing hits “My Kind of Love,” “Round & Round” and “First Time” along with an array of others that will literally send you on an emotional rollercoaster. There is a promising future for this singer, songwriter, producer; overall smooth guy.
