Seen in the studio with none other than Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Latin producer Lil Geniuz, Miami’s rising star RichKiidNick has fans and industry insiders asking the same question:

Is an album on the way?

After a string of emotional hits, viral moments, and iced-out visuals, RichKiidNick is proving he’s more than just a lifestyle — he’s a movement. Known for his melodic pain-infused flows, boss energy, and signature Miami shine, Nick’s link-up with Lil Geniuz has the streets AND the blogs talking.

With Geniuz’s track record of producing for Latin giants and chart-topping records, and Nick’s story-driven lyricism and loyal following, this collab could be the crossover album we didn’t know we needed.

Stay locked.

The vibe? Luxury. Realness. Global appeal.

The moment? Now.

Da Foundation has recently performed at the Levono Center in Raleigh, NC. but the movement will not stop there. Continuing their journey, Da Foundation, recently released their album Sabbat Noir on May 20, 2025. Da Foundation continues to create music that is relatable, as they speak from existing moments as well as the past.

"Lust Paradise is a product of relief. It also can be a product of accountability. We often associate lust with love or love with lust and never hold ourselves accountable to the outcome...." Casso stated during the post album review of Sabbat Noir. "It’s hard to single out a track and say it has the most impact when each song represents something unique. In a space where we focus on substance in our music each song has its own impact equally."

Da Foundation speaks from the heart when they are in the music studio, which is why whenever these artists have a chance to perform on stage, they leave the crowd applaud. 

The combination between Mu Smoova and Mile Casso only creates lighting and heat. Producers like Emmanuel Williams as Manny Beats Chi, vTomic and Track Pros and Dreez of Global Sound, all would say, these two are magical and one of a kind when they are in the studio.

Da Foundation performed a fans favorite City of Gold and Lust Paradise well as Joe Lighting and Pussy. 

"Favorite songs is a tie between Lust Paradise and City of Gold I just really enjoy the beat and tempo.." Mu Smoova stated.

Da Foundation says this album is going to raise the bar. Stay tuned!

Hybrid Collapse is a boundary-blurring audiovisual AI project that fuses electronic music, generated visuals, and critical theory into a single immersive experience. The work is not merely an album or a series of videos — it's a conceptual framework for navigating life in a world dominated by digital abstraction, biopolitical control, and posthuman aesthetics.

The debut album Biopolitics is a meticulously structured narrative told across ten tracks, each accompanied by a corresponding AI-crafted video. The music moves from ambient decay to glitch-infused industrial and dystopian pop, building a world where identity is no longer stable but perpetually reprogrammed. Themes of surveillance, sexuality, artificial embodiment, and algorithmic behavior are embedded into both the sonic and visual layers, creating a unified, confrontational aesthetic.

What sets Hybrid Collapse apart is its integration of philosophical depth with striking cinematic style. The project draws on thinkers like Agamben, Haraway, and Baudrillard, translating abstract ideas into visceral, hyperreal sequences. Visually, the videos feature haunting figures — black-robed priestesses, synthetic lovers, faceless enforcers — all enacting rituals in bleak urban and ritualistic environments. Fire, oil, and shadows become symbols of sacrifice, transformation, and spiritual surrender to technological systems.

Unlike many AI-driven art experiments, Hybrid Collapse isn’t about novelty — it’s about meaning. Artificial intelligence is not a tool here, but a voice within the system. It co-authors the collapse.

Biopolitics is an act of resistance and a requiem — a refusal to submit quietly to digital hegemony, even while dressed in its skin. It is both warning and prophecy.

For most independent artists, dropping a new song feels like the finish line. After weeks or months of writing, recording, mixing, and creating visuals, the moment the track goes live feels like a huge accomplishment. And it is. But in reality, that release day is not the end of the process. It is the beginning.

What happens after you drop the song is what separates hobbyists from artists who actually grow.

This is the part that gets overlooked. Too many songs with real potential never reach the audience they deserve because there is no post-release plan. No content to support the drop, no ads pushing it to new listeners, no follow-up strategy to keep the momentum going. The result is usually the same: a brief spike in plays followed by silence.

CTRL Music Group exists to change that outcome.

Founded by Chicago artist YBZ Vandr, CTRL helps independent artists not only make great music, but also build long-term careers around it. A huge part of that is handling what comes after the release. CTRL helps artists turn every drop into an opportunity to grow their fanbase, increase engagement, and build real momentum.

The first step is identifying the core audience for the release. CTRL works with the artist to break down who the music connects with, what platforms they use, and how to reach them. From there, the team builds a rollout plan that stretches beyond the release day.

This includes targeted ad campaigns that push the song to listeners who are likely to become real fans. It includes social media content that keeps the song in circulation for weeks instead of days. It also involves pitching the track to blogs, playlists, and curators to help it gain traction in places the artist may not have access to on their own.

CTRL also helps artists create follow-up content like behind-the-scenes clips, acoustic versions, remixes, or commentary videos. These assets are timed intentionally to keep attention on the song long after the initial hype fades.

Another major part of post-release success is analytics. CTRL reviews performance data to see what is working, what is not, and how to adjust for future releases. If a certain piece of content performs well, CTRL leans into it. If an ad campaign underperforms, the strategy shifts. Everything is treated like a learning opportunity that leads to better results over time.

This approach turns every drop into a step forward. Instead of putting out music and hoping it sticks, artists working with CTRL put out music with a plan. They know how it will be promoted, what kind of content will support it, and how to measure its success.

Artists deserve more than one good day when they release a song. They deserve sustained momentum and the tools to grow from each release. That is what CTRL Music Group brings to the table.

A release is not the end. It is a beginning. And with the right team behind you, it can be the start of something real.

What’s the price of a soul? Is it the money, the fame, the ice, or the life we glorify? “Disgusted” isn’t just a track—it’s a statement. A lyrical deep dive into the choices, consequences, and contradictions of the streets, this song pulls no punches.

With a haunting beat from OGxLoop and thought-provoking bars, Marcus Auraylius exposes the dark realities of a culture consumed by power, violence, and survival. From the cost of clout to the weight of lost lives, this is music that makes you think—and makes you feel.

For fans of raw storytelling, deep lyricism, and music with a message.

Sapien Medicine is pioneering a unique fusion of sound and healing, offering listeners an innovative approach to personal wellness. By crafting immersive soundscapes that delve into the concept of Morphic Fields—energy patterns believed to influence physical and mental states—Sapien Medicine provides an experience that transcends traditional music.

Your work with Sapien Medicine has garnered a substantial following. What inspired you to explore the intersection of sound and healing?

Sapien Medicine: My journey began in the realm of metal music, where I was deeply involved as a vocalist. Over time, I became fascinated by the profound impact sound can have on the human psyche and physiology. This curiosity led me to investigate how auditory experiences could be harnessed for healing and personal growth, ultimately giving birth to Sapien Medicine.

Morphic Fields or Energy Fields play a central role in your creations. Could you elaborate on this concept and its integration into your work?

Sapien Medicine: Certainly. Morphic Fields are theoretical energy patterns that influence behaviours and physical forms. (Rupert Sheldrake theories) By embedding specific intentions and frequencies into our soundscapes, we aim to tap into these fields, facilitating positive changes in our listeners' well-being. It's a harmonious blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary sound design.

Your album "Tuath Dé" marked a significant evolution in your artistic approach. What sets this project apart from your earlier works?

Sapien Medicine: "Tuath Dé," released in June 2020, represents a pivotal moment where I sought to craft not just music, but an energetic journey. The album intertwines sound, emotion, and mythology, guiding listeners through mystical realms inspired by the legendary Tuath Dé. This endeavour was about creating an immersive experience that resonates on a deeper, more transformative level.

Your recent works draw inspiration from vintage video game music and jazz. How do these influences align with your overarching mission?

Sapien Medicine: Exploring genres like synthwave and jazz allows me to connect with listeners through familiar yet innovative soundscapes. By infusing nostalgic elements with healing intentions, we create accessible entry points for individuals to experience the therapeutic potential of sound. It's about bridging the gap between the known and the unknown, making the journey of healing both engaging and transformative.

For newcomers to Sapien Medicine, which tracks would you recommend as an introduction to your work?

Sapien Medicine: "Depths of Your Soul" from 'Album 4' (2021) offers a deep appreciation of one's being and the world. "Angelic Blessings" (2024) features twelve tracks dedicated to specific archangels, providing a spiritually enriching experience. Additionally, "The Flow" (2023) focuses on "Chi Environment Saturation," exemplifying our approach to blending ancient concepts with modern audio techniques.

Looking ahead, what can listeners anticipate from Sapien Medicine?

Sapien Medicine: We are continually exploring new sonic landscapes and healing modalities. Our upcoming projects aim to deepen the listener's journey into self-discovery and well-being, incorporating diverse musical influences and cutting-edge sound design to create transformative experiences.

Sapien Medicine stands at the forefront of a new frontier in music and wellness, inviting listeners to embark on a journey where sound becomes a conduit for healing and personal evolution.
