Rhythmically delivering strikingly personal lyrics over a groovy Jason Davis production, Bella Bahhs narrates her story of being raised on the west side of Chicago by “a long line of Black queens:” her grandmother, mother and aunts, who she deems “OGs,” or original gangsters, on the breakout single from her sophomore EP, BAHHS Not Bars: Black Ancestors Here Healing Society.

Listen to the perfectly crafted, delicate perfection of Illuminate by WILDES.

"'Illuminate' isi a reflection on our human error” explains WILDES, continuing "It's about recognising (or illuminating) the qualities that make us human, but can also lead to our downfall. The song came from the idea that we will do anything - whether it be good or incredibly dangerous - for the people we love and the causes we believe in. 

It was only three months previous that West London’s WILDES uploaded her debut cut “Bare” which has so far caught the attention of tastemaker radio & blogging media, including Disco Naiveté who labelled her “so special.” The 19 year old, known to her friends and family as Ella Walker,  started gigging when she was 15 after being exposed to her father’s extensive guitar collection.  That early exposure, along with inspiration from the works of Oscar Wilde, began shaping what you here today.  Remind yourself of her debut track Bare below:

"Count On Me" speaks on the essence of love and the importance of interdependence within a community of people. The message in this song is to encourage listeners to believe that giving love and inspiration is perhaps the greatest thing we can do for one another - the idea that you get what you give, and love comes full circle.

Sam Trump is a multi‐instrumentalist and singer/songwriter whose soulful take on a modern sound creates an experience that is best described as hypnotic. A man of many talents, he not only sings but plays the trumpet and ukulele. He is currently touring full‐time with live HipHop/Jazz/Soul band, Sidewalk Chalk. Sam’s most recent collaboration was on Jamla Artist, Add‐2’s latest album, Prey for the Poor. He co‐wrote 3 songs, one of which featured Grammy Award Winner, Rapsody.

Through his original music, Trump wants to remain innovative, but also convey a preservation of down‐home soul. In his own words, "My aim is to establish myself as a pioneer of new direction within the music scene. Through my writing, consulting, and performing, my ultimate goal is to inspire others to do whatever it is they love most, with the ambition of positively effecting our society. It is my hope that with every path crossed, inspiration transpires."

Calvin Valentine is a LA based singer, songwriter, and producer born and raised in Eugene, Oregon. Valentine first stepped out into the LA music scene in 2011 with the release of Planet Asia’s album “Camouflage Jackets”, which was entirely produced by Calvin known at the time as G_Force. Last year he produced De La Soul’s “God It” featuring Nas, which was recognized by every mainstream blog including Rolling Stone, Pitch Fork, Fader, Complex The New York Times, among others. Valentine is currently working on a full length album J Dilla’s young brother, Illa J. Be on the lookout for more work as Valentine just signed a deal with Eryst Records to release his next solo album in 2016.

Get Your Fair Share

lifeline (feat. @danawilliamsofficial)

it was summertime 
remember when we met
love was on our minds 
and you were mine

we’d stay up all night 
forget about life 
beneath the glowing lights 
we would waste our time

remember when you said that we would last a lifetime 
but now i find myself just looking for a lifeline 
all the words we said are dancing round in my head
and i can’t stop - stop thinking 

remember when you said that we would last a lifetime 
but now i find myself just looking for a lifeline 
all the words we said are dancing round in my head
and you know i know it’s over so then i said 

now i’ll never know you, know you
now i’ll never hold you, hold you
now i’ll never miss you, miss you
now i’ll never hurt you, hurt you

leaves were turning brown 
remember brooklyn now
that’s when your smile changed 
and you were always late 

you couldn’t hear me through the sound of the city 
you were there but you weren’t really with me 
lost in the crowd thinkin bout you
and i know you’re thinkin bout you too

remember when you said that we would last a lifetime 
but now i find myself just looking for a lifeline 
all the words we said are dancing round in my head
and i can’t stop - stop thinking 

remember when you said that we would last a lifetime 
but now i find myself just looking for a lifeline 
all the words we said are dancing round in my head
and you know i know it’s over so then i said 

now i’ll never know you, know you
now i’ll never hold you, hold you
now i’ll never miss you, miss you
now i’ll never hurt you, hurt you

now i’ll never 
now i’ll never hurt you  x4

now i’ll never know you, know you
now i’ll never hold you, hold you
now i’ll never miss you, miss you
now i’ll never hurt you, hurt you
