Dues and Don'ts

Mike & Keys are the visionary minds behind the beats on the late, great Nipsey Hussle's VICTORY LAP album along with the work they have done with many other great artists. Formula One is an extension of that energy.
I handpicked these tracks and sequenced the album after Mike told me he wanted to do an album on SCM just after Nip's passing. The Marathon continues...

VBBR 01 - Chill R&B and Hip-Hop

Cologne duo solo nour kicks off the year with their new single, ‘no worries’. Delivering uplifting grooves and soulful melodies that embody the duo’s carefree, forward-looking ethos, the track invites listeners to embrace life’s unpredictability with optimism and warmth.

Comprising Billie Barleben on vocals and Anatolian Lover on production, solo nour is more than just a musical collaboration — it’s a creative journey shaped by friendship, experimentation, and a shared passion for storytelling. Their name itself is a testament to their illuminating artistry, fusing the Spanish sol and Arabic nour, both symbolozing “light.”

Billie Barleben—yes, that is her real name—is a trained actress and loves to dance. In addition to her artistic pursuits, she is involved with the project minhafaktur, a cooperative in Cologne-Poll that creates spaces for collaborative and interdisciplinary work. At the first event she organized, Yaşar Fidan—known as Anatolian Lover—also performed. Anatolian Lover grew up in Ankara and Ingolstadt. He is a beatmaker with a classic hip-hop background and has released various works with Dezibelle Records from Berlin. He is also an aspiring social worker who conducts workshops on racial equality, diversity, and masculinity.

It took a second meeting for Billie Barleben and Anatolian Lover to come together as solo nour. The fact that this happened at a surf camp in France is a charming anecdote, but not the main point. A few weeks later—in Winter 2023—they met for the first time in Yaşar's home studio in Cologne-Mühlheim. Since then, they’ve hardly ever stopped making music.

“At some point, I received a message from Yaşar that he needed a break from me because he couldn't hear my voice anymore over all the mixing. At that time, there were ten songs in progress—simultaneously. Now it’s fine again,” Billie jokes, adding, “Our music has become a place of encounter and connection. With solo nour, a deep friendship has also developed.”

This is a friendship they now want to share with the rest of the world. It’s about time, we think, because the way solo nour brings together hip-hop, indie, soul, and pop is very much worth a listen.

#ViệtNamĐỉnh

A dreamy and intimate indie lo-fi track with a neo-soul sensibility. "Thư Gửi Bình Minh" (Letter to Sunrise) is a tender love letter set to a backdrop of vintage warmth. The track is built on a soft, swing-feel rhythm from a dusty lofi drum kit, a warm sub-bass, and the characteristic wobble of a Rhodes keyboard, often doubled by a dreamy vibraphone. The male vocal is delivered close-mic and breathy, lifting into a gentle falsetto for the soaring chorus. The lyrics are deeply poetic, using the sunrise as a messenger to guard the memory and spirit of a loved one against the chaos of the world. It’s a quiet, emotional promise of constancy and enduring light, perfect for slow mornings and quiet reflection.

Một ca khúc indie lo-fi mộng mơ và thân mật với âm hưởng neo-soul sâu lắng. "Thư Gửi Bình Minh" là một bức thư tình dịu dàng được đặt trên nền âm thanh ấm áp, cổ điển. Bài hát được xây dựng trên nền nhịp điệu lofi nhẹ nhàng, có độ swing, tiếng sub-bass ấm áp và độ rung đặc trưng của đàn Rhodes. Giọng hát nam được thu gần, đầy hơi thở, nhẹ nhàng chuyển sang giọng falsetto mềm mại ở đoạn cao trào. Lời ca đậm chất thơ, sử dụng bình minh làm sứ giả để bảo vệ ký ức và tinh thần của người yêu khỏi sự hỗn loạn của thế giới. Đây là một lời hứa thầm kín, đầy cảm xúc về sự bền bỉ và ánh sáng vĩnh cửu.
