Mulatto Performs ‘Youngest N Richest’ And More For A Regal Tiny Desk Concert

No desk needed for the Queen of da Souf. …

2020 XXL Freshman Mulatto adds another accomplishment to her growing list, delivering a regal performance for her first appearance on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. Nixing the “desk” part, she employs both a violinist (Joy Black) and keyboardist (SK) and occupies a throne-like chair as she raps her way through “Youngest N Richest” and “Blame Me” while lounging around. She pops up for the closer, “He Say She Say,” leaving her crown on a side table so she can really get loose while SK embellishes the backing track.

Performing from home has allowed a greater variety of artists to appear on NPR Tiny Desk lately but it’s also something many fans with Mulatto would have adopted as personal policy as well. She recently came under scrutiny on social media for performing a raucous live show in a packed venue at the height of the increase in COVID-19 cases. Of course, her hometown of Atlanta is part of a state that has refused to shut down in response to the spread of the coronavirus, drawing similar scrutiny to 2 Chainz’s restaurant and other concerts held by DaBaby and more.

However, Mulatto herself continues to land prestigious placements, including on 2 Chainz’s new album on the single “Quarantine Thick” and on Kash Doll’s new song “Bad Azz” which debuted during the Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy Verzuz at Magic City in — where else? — Atlanta.

XMOXY invites listeners get ready to move on new releases “Surge”

XMOXY storms in with “Surge,” a nonstop burst of energy that won’t go away. The song starts with a fast-paced ~160 BPM beat that gives you a pulse, making you want to move, whether you’re working out late at night, playing a game, or driving to work at full volume.

“Surge” is all about contrast and collision at its core. Heavy, distorted guitars crash into aggressive synth production, creating a sound that feels both rough and well-crafted. The rhythm section hits at just the right time, propelling the song forward with undeniable force.

“Surge” is a thrilling mix of styles, with the edge of modern alt-rock, the intensity of EDM, and the grand scale of movie-trailer music. The sound is both new and bigger than life. It works well with high-energy playlists, but it also stands out on its own.

The Divine Saint of Love delivers easygoing energy with new release “ZaZa”

Divine Saint of Love’s latest release, “ZaZa,” settles into its groove with confidence, giving people who get it a calm escape without needing to explain. “ZaZa” doesn’t have complicated plots or perfect writing. Instead, it fully embraces a calm, almost weightless atmosphere where mood is paramount.

The Divine Saint of Love doesn’t go overboard or make the message less clear. People who love weed and like to relax without being bothered by noise will like the song. It’s not about having too much or too little; it’s about staying calm, clear, and in your own rhythm.

It doesn’t have to be a well-known song. It is powerful because it is real and can connect with the people it is meant for on a deep level. “ZaZa” doesn’t feel like a performance, it feels more like a moment that everyone can relate to, even if it’s not.
