"Two Way Street" blends mellow, modern tropicalia with the romantic lyrical stylings of Motown-era soul, giving listeners an intimate soundscape to sink into while they lay back on the sand and watch the sunset slowly dip behind the horizon. With soft falsetto vocals & beachy, organic instrumentation, it’s the perfect track for those who dig retro, west-coast styles.

Stillmatic is the 2nd piece of a three-part ‘poetic-triptych’ written by poet Anacaona Rocio Milagro, produced by Substantial, with Lizzie Blue on the piano, and cover art by Kenny Rivero. Titled after and honoring the 20 year anniversary of Nas’s album Stillmatic, the poet speaks of her favorite day: when her big brother, all the way from Washington Heights, deep in street life, stepped out and somehow found her in the Bronx during her undisclosed religious initiation ceremony just so they could listen to the entire Nas album together in his car the day it dropped—this is how he loves. They "Nodded their heads until their thorn crowns spun off… into glowing disks." The ‘poetic-triptych’s’ first piece is titled When You Were Red and describes losing a brother to street life, to then find him again in this piece Stillmatic, only to lose him again in the final piece titled Delirium (coming soon). Twenty years later, and it’s still the poet's favorite day.

Anacaona Rocio Milagro is a poet born and raised in New York City, Washington Heights. Writing poetry since the age of four and performing throughout her adolescence, she went on to hit the national stage with the Nuyorican Poets Café Slam team winning 2nd place in the National Poetry Slam Championship. She later earned an MFA in Poetry at NYU’s Low Residency program in Paris, an MPH at Columbia University, and a BA in Social Anthropology and Journalism/Creative Writing with a minor in Art from Baruch College/CUNY BA. Her Nine Eleven Poem has been added to the Smithsonian Museum’s 9/11 archives. Her poetry has been published in The BreakBeat Poets Latinext Anthology, Narrative Magazine, LittHub, and Raising Mothers, to name a few. Her father is from the Dominican Republic and her mother is from St. Thomas, The U.S. Virgin Islands. She is the single mother of two, Nirvana Sky and Zion.

LYRICS

caught between a rock and a hard place
distraction binds us
rendered blind

they want to exploit
our good nature
tell 'em all to eat shit
we don't stand for this.

tossing and turning;
dreaming of soft colors,
muted by their ambitions.

let
that
twister
devastate

From the brilliant mind of Montreal-based producer Vienna, "In Due Time" is a genre-bending jazz fusion album showcasing Liam Mansfield's impressive range as a beat-maker, instrumentalist and composer. His refined melodic language hits the sweet spot combining the lexicon of funk, jazz and hip-hop, punctuated by monster bass and buttery vocals that soothe the soul. A triumphant collaborative project that has arrived not a moment too soon, "In Due Time" is a stone-cold jazz beats classic in the making, featuring sumptuous vocals by Renon and eye-widening instrumentation from Prizm Wizard (bass) and Ryan Nadin (guitar).
