DJ TAZZ XX & BJR - OPS

Baltimore born musicians DJ Tazz Xx and BJR (Born Just Right) have a story to tell. As African American men they share their unique experience to expose the crab in a bucket mentality that runs rampant in inner-city areas. “Ops” is an ode to underestimated individuals as they rise up and overcome oppression by seizing opportunity no matter the opposition. With new-school hip-hop aromas due in equal parts to its forward-thinking production style and lyrical flow, “Ops” is an easy listen with a profound message. Get inspired with “Ops” today.

PURPORANGEJUICE - LOTUS

With a name like Purporangejuice, it’s gotta be good right? It sounds like a beverage concoction I would have made in the 8th grade cafeteria, but he’s really an impressively skilled producer making downtempo experimental future electronic music. This unique instrumental track “Lotus” is his debut, released via forward-thinking label Warpaint Records, which has quickly become known for uniquely talented artists in the electronic space regardless of their “genre.” 

Reminiscent of such virtuosic producers such as Mura Masa, Tennyson, or Electric Mantis, Purporangejuice’s “Lotus” is a chill journey through an array of iridescent synths, contemplative beats, and otherworldly sonics. One could liken it to floating through an interplanetary rainforest, which if you ask me is pretty freakin’ cool.
