Dorrough’s Delirious ‘Brand New’ Perfomance Kicks Off ‘UPROXX Sessions’ For 2021
The Dallas rapper behind ‘Ice Cream Paint Job’ is back with a polished performance to introduce his new persona, Six 3. …
It’s been a while since the last episode of UPROXX Sessions, but your favorite performance show is back with a bang for 2021. We’ve got some big surprises planned this year, so stay tuned. For the first episode back, we thought it’d be fitting to host another return — Dallas rapper Dorrough has come through with some “Brand New” heat for the new year, as well as a new identity, Six 3. You may remember Six 3 as the voice behind the 2009 hit “Ice Cream Paint Job,” which peaked at No. 27 on the Hot 100 that year.
While the Lone Star State mainstay never truly went away, releasing albums in 2010, 2017, and 2018, “Brand New” represents a stylistic rebirth — even if it treads familiar territory, content-wise. The time out of the national spotlight hasn’t dulled Six 3’s refined performance at all, and his energy is exactly what longtime UPROXX Sessions fans have come to expect thanks to previous appearances from IV4, Toosii, DaniLeigh, and BRS Kash.
Watch Dorrough’s performance of “Brand New” above.
UPROXX Sessions is Uproxx’s performance show featuring the hottest up-and-coming acts you should keep an eye on. Featuring creative direction from LA promotion collective, Ham On Everything, and taking place on our “bathroom” set designed and painted by Julian Gross, UPROXX Sessions is a showcase of some of our favorite performers, who just might soon be yours, too.

SweetCandy! reveals the truth behind new release “ISOLATED DISPOSITION”
SweetCandy! latest release of “ISOLATED DISPOSITION,” a single that doesn’t just talk but also confesses, opens up a very open space. The song was written right after a fight, and it has a lot of emotional baggage that most artists would be too scared to show. SweetCandy! doesn’t give up, it pushes all the way in.
“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” is how isolating it feels to be alone and not understood. But instead of blaming others, the story looks inward and reveals a deeper truth, being alone can often be a choice. The song gets to the point, shutting down only makes the emotional distance between us and others bigger.
There isn’t any effort to make things better or hide the pain, SweetCandy! talks openly about how hard it is to want to be understood while also keeping things that would help people understand you. A lot of people who hear it will know right away that it doesn’t make sense.
“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” seems like a turning point in the end. It shows that people are ready to be more responsible, grow, and be honest with each other in the future. SweetCandy! makes it clear that being open about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s the way to be truly seen in a world where it can feel dangerous to do so.

Shweta Harve sings of love that stands strong like a Tree on “Have You Loved Like a Tree?”
Shweta Harve’s latest release, “Have You Loved Like a Tree?” gently prompts listeners to reflect on how we think about love today. She uses a tree as a metaphor to show that love is stable, patient, and unchanging, rather than short-lived or performative.
Harve takes listeners to a place where they can think about their own experiences and the emotional truths they share with others. At its most basic level, the song is about unconditional love, love that gives without expecting anything in return, protects without being seen, and is always there even when you don’t see it.
The lyrics say, “Just like a tree, I will never fold / I will only give, endure, and grow / I’ll hold you close, I’ll let you go,” which is the heart of the song. Harve paints love as something that endures through storms, distance, and silence, just as trees endure through changing seasons. That picture has a quiet power that stays with you long after the song is over.
