St. Louis Rapper BRB Loopy Nearly Killed In Shooting

BRB Loopy has a lot of buzz around his name in his native St. Louis but, last week, his rise was nearly halted after the rapper was shot five times.

The 21-year-old rap artist is recovering from the incident, which Fox 2 Now describes as a drive-by shooting.

Loopy was in a car with one of his friends on Sunday, October 18 when they pulled up to a red light. The car next to them reportedly began shooting at them, hitting the driver once in his head and landing five shots on BRB Loopy. The driver is still alive but he remains in critical condition. Loopy was placed in a medically-induced coma for several days but he is currently stable, recovering in the hospital.

“Our city needs to come together—St. Louis, East St. Louis—and help each other out, not hurt each other, especially now that you have someone that has the potential to touch someone worldwide and it would have been a tragedy,” said Valerio Sanders, Loopy’s manager about the shooting. “But it feels good to turn something like this into a victory.”

Sanders describes Loopy’s sound as an “urban Justin Bieber”, claiming that he’s got a clear motivational vibe that speaks to the trials and tribulations he’s faced in his life.

BRB Loopy recently lost his brother to gun violence, so it’s a miracle that he was able to survive this.

This news follows that of Kent Won’t Stop’s death, a local Virginia rapper who was found dead in a car’s trunk after a car accident in Miami. Read more about that here.

Firecamino

“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.

The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.

“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.

Lisa Jo finds freedom in chaos, breaking the loop on new release “Runnin in Circles”

Lisa Jo

Lisa Jo’s latest single, “Runnin in Circles,” is a captivating look at spiritual surrender and emotional exhaustion. The song’s painful cycle of self-destruction and setbacks makes it personal but universally relatable. The song is for anyone who’s been stuck in their own patterns, trying to break free from repeating mistakes.

“Runnin in Circles” captures the emotional exhaustion of repeated rock bottoms. Lisa Jo vividly depicts inner conflict and self-sabotage becoming all too familiar and devastating. The song embraces the emotional wreckage of “burning your own house down,” which is raw and honest.

Evolution makes this record strong. “Runnin in Circles” slowly moves toward surrender and release instead of staying in the dark. Lisa Jo explores that difficult yet transformative moment when control passes to something greater. The spiritual element gives the song depth and resonates beyond heartbreak and frustration. The song’s messiness is lovely. Healing isn’t polished here. Lisa Jo accepts the hard truth of growth, the confusion, the setbacks, and the painful realization that change often happens after the emotional bottom falls out.
