Blxst Exhibits His Love For Art In The ‘Got It All’ Video With Dom Kennedy
Blxst’s breakout year gets a co-sign from a local superstar. …
LA rappers Blxst and Dom Kennedy visit an art exhibit in the video for “Got It All” from Blxst’s deluxe No Love Lost EP. After the video opens with a close-up of one of Blxst’s portrait subjects, we see the emerging West Coast star sketching another young woman who poses and primps inside a glass case. Later, the two rappers display a collection of modern art in a gallery as onlookers peruse paintings of Tupac, Aaliyah, and more.
Blxst’s 2020 has proven to be a breakout season for the rapper-singer, who made his bones over the previous year with guest appearances on other Los Angeles stars’ projects, from fellow newcomers 1TakeJay and Bino Rideaux to long-established vets like Eric Bellinger. After releasing his debut project No Love Lost, he increased his reach with the deluxe version which includes even more local superstars like Ty Dolla Sign, who appears on “Chosen.”
Meanwhile, indie vet Dom Kennedy has made a comeback of sorts thanks to his Half A Mil projects with Hit-Boy and his appearances on tracks like Nas’s “City On Lock” from the latter’s comeback album.
Watch the “Got It All” video above.
No Love Lost (Deluxe) is out now via Red Bull Records. Listen to it here.

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”
Life isn’t always a straight line, and Alwyn Morrison explores that in “Trial,” a four-track EP that goes beyond the familiar territory of love and heartbreak. The project blends pop, rock, and singer-songwriter influences, exploring themes of betrayal, false accusations, emotional pain, self-defense, and survival. Each track is inspired by courtrooms and is a step in a personal journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately freedom.
The first track, “Puzzle Piece,” is Morrison’s raw, heavy alternative rock sound, fitting the weight of betrayal and false accusations. The song has a sense of tension, putting you in the shoes of someone trying to understand a difficult situation. Followed by “Everybody Bleeds,” which follows that emotional path, creating a song about confusion, openness, and the struggles we all face, and it’s an emotional listen, with hard truths and personal experiences laid bare.
The project’s focus track, “Monster,” goes into more personal territory. It explores what happens when we are judged or condemned for the choices we make, and it carries a message that goes far beyond Morrison’s own experience. The central theme will strike a chord with anyone who has felt misunderstood, unfairly labeled, or defined by others’ opinions.
The EP closes with “Fireflies,” a track that shifts the mood, contrasting childhood innocence and memories with the realities of adult life. The sequence moves the story toward resilience, survival, and earned acceptance. Alwyn Morrison spins a musical tale of hard life experiences put to the test. The courtroom concept gives the four songs real purpose to move on without letting past experience dictate the future.

Fanny Alexandra explores emotional recovery and self-discovery on “Ceasefire”
Not every fight ends a relationship, and there could be long-term emotional damage, with questions about identity, attachment, and the difficult path to moving on. “Ceasefire” is a ghostly alternative rock ballad in which Fanny Alexandra navigates difficult terrain, exploring emotional dependency and the search for selfhood after a toxic relationship.
“Ceasefire” is full of sad melodies and hints of atmospheric rock, making it a dark, cinematic listen. The song’s alt-rock pivot provides an emotionally charged foundation, and it’s about the internal battle, especially when your identity has been so tied to another person.
Fanny Alexandra’s ethereal vocal approach suits the song, lending real emotional weight to the exploration of self-loss and internal tension. “Ceasefire” is a reflective track, with atmospheric instrumentation and deeply personal songwriting that capture feelings that can linger long after a tough chapter closes.
It’s about finding yourself again, and its emotional arc moves from openness and dependence to the hard-earned discovery that personal freedom is more than just walking away. Fanny Alexandra’s love for dark, emotional alternative music inspired “Ceasefire.” Her art is about intimate storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and making music that explores the quieter struggles people tend to keep inside. In this record, she turns the fallout from a toxic relationship into a meditative reflection on the long road to selfhood.
