Let’s start off by introducing yourself, you know the basics like name, age, and where you’re from. As much or little as you’re comfortable sharing.

S0LO: My name is S0LO I was born in Brooklyn New York, but I was raised everywhere but in New York. I moved around a lot as a child I lived in Delaware, Georgia, Philly, Florida twice, and even Puerto Rico before we finally decided North Miami was our final stop.

What’s the best advice you ever received concerning music?

What is still your biggest challenge?

S0LO: Putting together a big enough budget to make the impact I truly want to make.

What keeps you going when things get tough in the music industry?

S0LO: I feel like the love that I have for music keeps me going I love going in and making something come from nothing and making music for people I feel need to hear what I have to say.

If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?

S0LO: I would probably say Future or Roddy ricch.

Talk me through your creative process.

S0LO: Well, my creative process is all about first making sure I’m around “GOOD VIBES!” and then I work with my engineer/producer to come up with a direction I feel like going in then it is off to the harmonies and structure.

How do you solve productivity/scheduling problems and reduce overwhelming situations?

S0LO: I make sure when I go to the studio I don’t waste time and I get as much done with my time as possible so that the productivity never stops. I make sure I’m in the studio recording every week so I stay on schedule.

What are you focusing your time on now?

S0LO: Constantly adding to my catalog and working on releasing more content and music.

How do you currently feel about the state of “Your genre” in general?

S0LO: I feel like it’s always evolving and getting more and more interesting by the day and although at times I feel like a lot of new artist sound alike I feel like change is coming and I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on.

Album Review

R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album

In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.

“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.

Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution. “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.

The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

“Signalling Signatures” finds Mr Pigeons exploring dreams, truth, and hidden meanings

While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.

“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.

The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
