Cordae Adds Another Guest Feature To His 2020 List On DJ Scheme’s ‘Soda’ With Ski Mask The Slump God
The track joins Cordae’s previous guest appearances on tracks by Dinner Party and Stevie Wonder as well as his lone lead single, ‘Gifted.’ …
For about a year after the release of his debut album, The Lost Boy, Cordae stayed quiet in terms of music releases. The rapper’s debut was an impeccable effort that landed him two Grammy nominations and helped push him to the forefront of rap’s youngest and most promising acts, so a break was understandable. Luckily for fans, the break ended this past summer and the DMV rapper has kept fans satisfied with singles and guest features. Adding another one to the latter list, Cordae pulls up beside DJ Scheme, Ski Mask The Slump God, and Take A Daytrip for their new single, “Soda.”
If the track title is familiar to fans it’s because the song was premiered on Travis Scott and Chase B’s ‘.Wav Radio‘ show back in July. After quite the wait, the song is here for fans to enjoy. Cordae leads the way with a verse filled with braggadocios remarks on reaching success in the rap game as well as enjoying all the benefits that come with fame. Ski Mask follows suit with his trademark double-time flow that also finds him in his boastful bag.
Prior to “Soda,” Cordae connected with Dinner Party — a group comprised of 9th Wonder, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and Terrace Martin — for their “Freeze Tag” track which later received the visual treatment. He also joined Stevie Wonder, Rapsody, Chika, and Busta Rhymes for their “Can’t Put It In The Hands Of Fate” single. However, it hasn’t only been guest appearances for Cordae this year. He also called on Roddy Ricch for “Gifted,” his first lead single of 2020, and months later, he delivered a powerful freestyle to open this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards.

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.
