NYC Based Duo BAD Drops New Song “Jupiter

Electrifying NYC duo BAD have us fueled with their infectious glittery groove-filled vibes. Sharing their bright new single “Jupiter,” the tune is as dazzling as the Andromeda Galaxy itself.

BAD is comprised of NYC based duo Julia Brex and Jackson Hoffman. Having met in high school, the two have been writing and recording music together for about a decade. While they mainly focus on pop songwriting and production for other artists, BAD was born out of a passion for funk music. That passion combined with their musicality and an incredible group of fellow musicians led to the release of their debut EP GOOD, which has been making listeners dance across the globe.

Inspired by their love for funk grooves and pop sensibilities, BAD pulls elements from throwback funk and soul, 90’s and early 2000’s pop and R&B and contemporary pop and hip-hop. Brex and Hoffman succeed in creating a sound which allows the music to come across as nostalgic yet fresh, throwback yet brand new.

Bursting with exuberance and strutting with confidence, debut single ‘Refresher’ shimmers with funk-fueled melodies, 80’s electronic instrumentation and a vibrant horn section. ‘Sweat’ follows suit, while delivering animated sonic soundscapes and fun, dance worthy rhythms. The ultimate summer bop sparked inspiration from the 90’s workout Barbie aesthetic.

A frequent theme throughout BAD’s music is an overall sense of fun, lightheartedness and self-empowerment, with the utmost desire to make people feel-good and move.  Their new single “Jupiter” is a pop dance banger all about partying with our extraterrestrial friends in otter space.

Daiyon

Daiyon steps into the spotlight with “Vicous,” a spirited hip-hop collaboration featuring Mistah F.A.B that thrives on confidence, determination, and undeniable charisma. From its opening moments, the track establishes an inviting groove with melodious, head-nodding production that immediately captures attention. That smooth introduction seamlessly gives way to assertive rap verses, creating a natural progression that keeps the momentum building. The opening lines reinforce a mindset centered on hard work and ambition, making it clear that this record is driven by persistence rather than hesitation.

The song’s biggest strength lies in its memorable delivery and infectious hooks. Daiyon injects personality into every verse, blending playful moments with unwavering self-assurance. The reference to being all about “chips, Dorito’s” adds a light-hearted twist before the instantly recognizable chorus takes over. The repeated chant of “I’m looking viscous” becomes the heartbeat of the record, giving listeners a hook that lingers long after the track ends. Meanwhile, the lyrics acknowledging those who hate while others continue grooving reinforce the song’s uplifting confidence. The line encouraging the front row to sit back and watch the movie further paints the picture of an artist focused on the bigger vision instead of unnecessary criticism, while Mistah F.A.B’s appearance complements the record’s energetic spirit.

“Vicous” is a celebration of ambition wrapped inside an engaging hip-hop performance. Daiyon delivers a track that balances catchy melodies, confident lyricism, and vibrant rhythms without losing its sense of authenticity. The collaboration carries a lively chemistry that enhances the song’s appeal while allowing its central message of perseverance to shine through. Rather than relying solely on bravado, the record succeeds because it pairs its motivational attitude with memorable musical moments that invite repeated listens. “Vicous” leaves listeners with a lasting impression of resilience, determination, and the rewarding feeling that comes from staying committed to the grind while enjoying every step of the journey.
