Rapper CKENT Reveals Must-hear New EP Blapman
Fast-rising Atlanta rapper CKENT has unveiled his brand-new EP, Blapman, an eight-track collection of straight-up authentic rap, which he appropriately describes as “all bars, no feats”. Having already experienced success with several previous releases, including “All Stars Freestyle” alongside Lil Yachty, the independent rapper looks set to continue his impressive run and reach new heights with Blapman, which is supported by a new single of the same name.
Falling in love with music from a young age and honing his artistry over the last few years, CKENT showcases his full repertoire of talents on Blapman, with the project highlighting his playful voice and accents, varied cadence and remarkable lyricism – a formidable combination that makes for an exciting listen. The entirety of the EP was produced by in-demand Detroit producer ENRGY BEATS, and the powerful synergy between each production and CKENT’s flow and delivery on each track is undeniable and results in Blapman being what can only be described as a must-hear project and his best to date.
Speaking more on the release, CKENT says, “Blapman is about me being in my own world, ‘Blapworld’. To ‘Blap’ is to make it happen or Believe Learn And Prosper (B.L.A.P).” As such, “Blap” isn’t just music but a lifestyle choice and way of thinking. The DIY rapper also has his own clothing brand, Blapworld, and new merchandise, including hoodies, varsity jackets, and chef aprons, has been released to coincide with the Blapman EP release.
Clearly driving in his own lane with a strong vision of how he wants to present his talent and creativity to the world, CKENT is a fresh, dynamic, and much-welcomed addition to the hip-hop scene and is undoubtedly an artist to watch out for. And he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, with plenty more content to look forward to over the coming months. Blapman is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ckent.lnk.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
