Emerging Rapper Kuda Unveils Incredible New Track “Down There”

Rising 21-year-old rapper Kuda has returned with his latest single, “Down There”. Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, Kuda has been going from strength to strength since bursting on the scene a few years ago. His last single, “Low Low”, racked up an impressive 1 million+ streams on Spotify alone as an independent release, and he looks set to reach even greater heights with “Down There”.

With catchy melodies, flavourful punchlines and spacey synth-driven production, the track showcases just why Kuda has been such a hit with listeners online and why he’s an artist to watch out for. Taking the psychedelic and introspective style pioneered by the likes of Kanye West and Kid Cudi in a direction that is uniquely his own, Kuda invites listeners to get to know more about him through the song as he gives a sneak peek into his life.

Elaborating further, Kuda says, “‘Down There’ is a single about how far I’ve come. There was a time in my life where I was extremely concerned about what others thought about me, and I didn’t believe in myself or my own view of the world. Nowadays I have built myself up in a lot of ways and I’m proud of that, and this song captures the confidence I have now where I trust my own views and ideas first when it’s a situation that pertains to only me because I know myself better than anyone else. It also gives you a peek into different stuff going on in my life, the party lifestyle, all that.”

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
