EarthGang And Wale Flex Their ‘Options’ With Confidence On Their New Collaboration
The track marks the duo’s second single of the year following their ‘Powered Up’ effort which landed on the ‘Madden NFL 21’ soundtrack. …
Considering the fact that their debut album, Mirrorland, arrived a little over a year ago, it may be a bit far-fetched to expect EarthGang’s would deliver their upcoming sophomore project at any point in the near future. Despite this, the Atlanta duo has teased some music over the past few months and now they have finally given their fans a new release in the form of their collaboration with Wale.
The track, entitled “Options,” has grown to be an unreleased fan favorite after they teased the song back in the spring. It’s an uptempo number that finds the trio flaunting the many options they have in their lives. Whether it be in respect to women or their careers, EarthGang and Wale make it clear that they’ll always somewhere to go or something to do.
Earthgang’s last 2020 single, “Powered Up,” can be found on the soundtrack for Madden NFL 21. Other than that, most of the duo’s recent work can be found on the recently released Spillage Village album, Spilligion, where EarthGang appeared on a number of tracks including “End Of Daze,” “Baptize,” “Hapi,” and “Jupiter.” They also joined the rest of the Spillage Village collective for a soulful Tiny Desk performance for the NPR series.
As for Wale, the DMV star released The Imperfect Storm EP earlier this year and released his most recent single, “Flawed” with Gunna, last month.
You can listen to “Options” in the video above.
Wale and Gunna are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Album Review
Kamila Csenge explores the unknown with a powerful debut album “Behind the Universe”
Some albums tell stories, while some invite you to experience a different worldview. And that is precisely what Kamila Csenge does on her debut album, “Behind the Universe.” A collection of 7 crafted tracks exploring what lies beyond fear, pain, and the limitations we so often put on ourselves. The album is an invitation to curiosity and reflection and growth, not to easy answers.
The journey begins with a reflective jazz fusion ballad, “The Void,” opening space for silence outside of simple ideas of right and wrong. Next track, “Against the Wall,” moves from there, with a stark look at the courage to overcome obstacles and make a difference. Then, “Music Forever” goes on with a sincere reflection about being true to yourself in a world that asks for attention and speed.
The emotional and imaginative range of the second half of the album goes even further. “Guardians of the Garden” is a peculiar universe, a universe of hope and light in the darkness. Next up is “The Metamorphosis,” which explores the silent yet powerful evolution of a human being, as growth usually begins with the loss of our former selves.
“This World” turns inside to the quiet wars many people fight each day with honesty and compassion. The album ends with “The Point of No Return,” a perfect song to end the album, accepting that the only way to go is just to go. Kamila Csenge’s debut album “Behind the Universe” is a record that prizes emotion, imagination, and resilience and is at once deeply personal and open to infinite interpretation.

Artist Spotlight
Kai Moa delivers an electronic journey of loss and identity with “L = ∅”
One of the few electronic releases to communicate emotional collapse so intensely is “L = ∅” by Kai Moa. The track is a dramatic shift in weight and atmosphere, the second single from the artist’s forthcoming debut EP, which will be out by August 2026.
The production of “L = ∅” has a nice balance of mechanical force and emotional tension. The song is about the emotional fallout of losing a job and the meaning it held. Instead of a straightforward representation of grief, Kai Moa takes on the mindset of a character who is sliding into nihilism, rejecting ideas of work, security, relationships, and meaning itself. This is an artist who can take personal disappointment and make it into a meditation on identity.
“L = ∅” is an immersive listening experience that defies expectations. Kai Moa has a real talent for blending cinematic storytelling with a bold sound design. This release feels like it could make its way into the ears of underground electronic fans and those searching for substance in their music. Kai Moa is an artist who isn’t scared to jump headfirst into uncomfortable ideas with fearless production and ambitious creative vision, and the first track leads into the debut EP.
