Recorded at N4N Milwaukee HFCA HS.

Written by Bink, Bari, 4700, Jaccari.
Produced by Bari, Bink, Chris, Mr Derrick.

Classes are covering chords this semester so as the class built a beat, Mr Derrick was deciding which chords he'd add. The class all agreed to write about being out and about, kickin' it, hanging out, aka being Outside! Also, Class assistant engineer Amir  assisted in the arrangement of the song!

We Outside! - Bink, Bari, 4700, Jaccari

Recorded at Milwaukee HFCA HS.

Written by Mr. Derrick.
Produced by Jayden, Xaire, Zaria, Mr Derrick.

Block 5 made the class beat together as a group and all agreed that we should write about manifesting our success. Harmonee and Zaria were supposed to be on the song with Xaire, but they both changed their minds. This leaves Xaire with a solo song as her first recording in the N4N studio at HFCA! Mr Derrick chose not to give her any advice about rapping the verse or how to flow it. Xaire did a great job and her energy and personality shine throughout the performance. We love this one! 

"Yeah right yeah right, we need big $$ in our lives!"

Manifesting Success - Xaire

It's Giving  - Astrid, Jasmae, Larissa, Maleah, Lyncoln

Recorded at N4N Memphis.

Produced by Darrell, TRIP.

“Uptown” is a bold, self-assured anthem from a rising youth artist carving their own lane. Blending sharp lyricism with a smooth, head-nodding beat, the track paints a vivid picture of pride, ambition, and resilience. With a sound rooted in local culture but elevated by fresh perspective, “Uptown” captures what it means to grow up navigating pressure, promise, and the pulse of the city. Whether it's a shoutout to their block or a glimpse into their grind, this track proves the next generation isn’t waiting for permission — they’re taking the mic and telling their story their way.
