Imagine a nighttime ride through neon-lit streets—Yamê’s latest single “Insensé” delivers exactly that, weaving hypnotic rhythms and introspective lyrics into a heady, emotional journey. This track marks the next chapter for the French-Cameroonian artist Emmanuel Sow, known as Yamê, whose music blends rap, R&B, jazz, soul, and Afrobeat into a singular sound. ⁠
⁠
Yamê first captured attention with his breakout hit “Bécane” and a vibrant ColorsxStudios performance that went viral, combining contemporary rap with soulful piano improvisation and deep African rhythms. A Victoire de la Musique award for Best Male Newcomer in 2024 and a debut album Elowi under his belt, he now channels that same energy into “Insensé,” a track that continues his exploration of emotional depth set to atmospheric, late-night sonics. ⁠
⁠
On “Insensé,” you’ll hear Yamê’s signature spiritual energy at work: calm, reflective lyrics ride over subtle grooves and moody textures that evoke both night drives and inner reflection. If you've been following his ascent since Bantu Mixtape Vol. 1 and the electrifying Agent 237 EP, this is a natural, captivating evolution—one that keeps pushing his international sound forward. ⁠

⁠
Born in Haiti and raised in Canada, Rosalvo’s journey has taken him from underground rap scenes to collaborations with artists like Shreez and Imposs. Known for fusing hard-hitting hip-hop with Caribbean vibrancy, his breakout EP Troubatrap in 2024 confirmed him as a genre-bending force.⁠

Montreal’s own Obia le Chef, the esteemed Haitian‑Canadian wordsmith, teams up with beatmaker Doomin on “METE'L ATÈ,” the lead single from their collaborative EP Iridium (May 18, 2025). It’s a deeply rooted blend of proud ancestry and forward-thinking hip-hop.⁠
⁠
Bloodlines and beats merge beautifully here: Obia le Chef channels his Haitian heritage—drawing from poetic roots and francophone rap traditions—while Doomin’s production layers heavy drums, atmospheric synths, and modern trap-meets-world textures. The result feels ritualistic yet contemporary, a sonic invocation to stay grounded even as the bass shakes the ceiling.⁠
⁠
The Iridium EP marks a milestone in Obia’s discography—his evolution from 2018’s Soufflette through Zoklo and la mort attendra into a collaborative space with Doomin, spotlighting his lyrical depth and cultural pride.⁠

After making waves with her innovative art-pop on albums like Half Free, In a Poem Unlimited, and 2023’s Bless This Mess, Toronto-based Meghan Remy returns with “Just Like James”, a hypnotic, groove-laden single that nods to soul legend James Brown while carving its own avant-pop path.⁠
⁠
Rooted in her early influences—from punk and riot grrrl to disco, funk, and experimental pop—U.S. Girls has always blurred genre lines and flipped expectations. “Just Like James” continues that tradition: layered percussion, vintage synths, and haunting vocals come together in a sonic ritual that feels both cerebral and irresistibly danceable .⁠
⁠
Meghan’s evolution from home-recorded DIY tapes to a Juno-nominated artist on 4AD has been marked by fearless shifts—from the raw loops of Half Free to the disco-drenched commentary of In a Poem Unlimited and the groove-rich Bless This Mess . With “Just Like James”, she honours Brown’s spirit of liberation in the act of movement—an invitation to dance alone, heal, and rise again .⁠
⁠
Whether you know U.S. Girls for her bold feminist statements or her genre-bending soundscapes, this track is a reminder: Meghan Remy is one of the most daring pop voices of our time.⁠

West Coast calm meets Southern swagger on this luxe new single from the trio behind the expansive album Life Is Beautiful.⁠
⁠
San Francisco’s smooth-talking Larry June and Atlanta trap-king 2 Chainz trade bars over a serene, flute-tinged beat crafted by legendary producer The Alchemist. June’s signature laid-back flexes—morning routines, green juices, vintage whips—are given new energy by Chainz’s punchy charisma and witty one-liners. It all unfolds on a production canvas that’s both minimalist and enveloping: think sun-soaked jazz loops, psychedelic echoes, and cinematic depth.⁠
⁠
This collaboration isn’t just for the vibe—it's a reflection of life’s dualities. June anchors the track with grounded relatability, while Chainz injects spontaneity and bold presence. Together, they navigate success, responsibility, and resilience, riding the wave of Alchemist’s mellow but expansive soundscape.⁠
⁠
Why it stands out: it’s an effortless merger of seasoned styles—jazz, trap, introspection—yet it feels fresh and introspective, a grown-up rap project for the modern era.⁠
