James The Prophet joined forces with Chester Watson on “Tobago.” The single

With debut album Unimaginable Storms on the horizon (out July 9 via Sony Music / Rupture)

20-year-old Franco-American rapper James The Prophet has shared another fresh slice of introspective lo-fi hip hop, this time joining forces with Chester Watson (Nü Age Syndicate) on “Tobago.” The single today follows album cut/jazz-funk banger “Power On,” ghostly single “Sentinel” feat. British MC Lord Apex, and recent performance and conversation with platinum rapper Bun B at the French Embassy in Houston, TX.

The rapper is blowing up in France (hip hop’s 2nd biggest market) – on France 24 (their CNN), GQ, Vanity Fair, etc — and for bringing socially conscious/sensitive rap to the forefront. His last Bedroom Sessions release benefitted the Paris Hospitals Foundation and following last year’s We Love Green festival with Young Thug, Lana Del Rey & Bad Bunny, he’ll be opening up for hip hop legend Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) soon.

Amidst a backdrop of richly colored beats blending jazz, soul, funk, and old-school hip hop, this new album is eclectic but unswerving in its consistency…The title is a nod to the fact that beyond the surface, everyone is dealing with their own crises. James has already released the Trumpism protest song G.O.P ft. French platinum artist Kalash Criminel (half a million views) of the album. His triple UK/US/French citizenship gives him a foot in all three cultures, though he raps in English thanks to his affinity for East Coast boom-bap of idols Nas and Biggie.

Michael Chagnon ignites the floor with latest single “The Way That You Move”

Michael Chagnon

Michael Chagnon’s latest single, “The Way That You Move,” has the raw power of a late-night ignition and the charged atmosphere of a crowded, sweaty venue. The track starts with a guitar strike that sends it forward with nonstop energy, combining the intensity of garage rock with the urgency of pop dance. It is a track that not only wants to be heard, but also felt.

The track has a strong, catchy hook that makes it exciting. The rock-inspired instruments build to a strong energy, and the pulsing beat makes it easy to dance to, keeping your heart rate up. The story has a movie-like quality, like a high-stakes chase through brightly lit city streets where danger and desire meet in a noir-like setting. Every beat has a sense of urgency, and every riff has a purpose.

The best thing about “The Way That You Move” is how strong it is. There are no extras or unnecessary distractions, just real, pure rock energy delivered with confidence. The raw production adds to the song’s appeal, giving it a dynamic quality that works well in both small spaces and big crowds. This song is great in small spaces, where sound, movement, and emotion come together to form an unstoppable force.

Michael Chagnon describes movement not just as physical action, but also as an emotional force. The song is full of tension, release, and a steady rhythm that makes it impossible to be still. “The Way That You Move” is a powerful reminder of how rock can bring people together, energize them, and inspire them, whether it’s coming through speakers or echoing in a live venue. This is moving music that keeps going and going.

Izzi Stone

Izzi Stone’s latest single, “9 Camels,” appears on the horizon like a ghost, captivating, mysterious, and deeply atmospheric. The track doesn’t overwhelm the listener, instead, it embraces restraint and lets the mood build slowly. From the very beginning, it draws you into Izzi Stone’s world with an enchanting flow, where every sound seems planned and every silence has meaning.

“9 Camels” is a piece that depends on how well its audience can understand it. It doesn’t rush to explain itself or go after obvious temptations. Instead, it sets up a rhythmic pattern that slowly reveals its beauty. The track’s mysterious rhythm is built on a steady bass line that gives it a steady pulse that is both stable and fluid. This balance between nuance and rhythm creates an interesting sonic experience that requires patience and multiple listens.

“9 Camels” tells an emotional story full of hope and longing. It suggests that a man’s desire is manifesting in the sky, a poetic way of saying that people harbor hidden hopes and possibilities. There are whispers of hope along the track that point the way and give strength, even though the journey ahead is unclear. This emotional undertone gives the song more depth, turning it from background noise into a deep feeling.

Izzi Stone shows in “9 Camels” that less can be more powerful. The song’s sparse instrumentation, mysterious rhythm, and deep bass groove come together to make a soundscape that lasts long after the song ends. Izzi Stone’s music has come a long way since this song was made. It is meant to be felt emotionally. Her newest song, “9 Camels,” explores how important it is to connect with yourself and others to get through tough times and periods of uncertainty. Stone’s music is influenced by jazz and avant-garde styles. She combines sultry restraint with progressive optimism to create an intimate, timeless, and powerful world.
