EarthGang’s WowGr8 Isn’t Playing Around With New “Bang Freestyle”

EarthGang’s wowgr8 (formerly known as Doctur Dot) inconspicuously dropped two solo tracks, following up on his promise to start a SoundCloud page on October 1. 

The quiet release definitely went largely unnoticed, with less than 1500 combined plays for the two songs as of press time. 

The more interesting of the two, however, is “Bang Freestyle.” The song is billed as a tribute to the late John Witherspoon and uses a screencap from his iconic “you win some, you lose some” speech from the movie Friday as its album cover.

wowgr8 comes out swinging, oozing charisma over a bombastic funk-inspired beat: “my n**** if i’ma die, i’ma go out with a bang.”

Only five bars deep and less than thirty seconds into the song, the EarthGang rapper cuts out the beat to emphasize his next bar: “Cole tried to do me like Hov did to Ye.”

Just as quickly as he drops that bar, though, he moves on, leaving fans wondering what he really meant with that line. The rapper has promised to continue posting unreleased Spillage Village tracks and other loosies on his SoundCloud, so we’ll just have to wait and see if he goes deeper in a future release.

Still, “Bang Freestyle” is everything you’ve come to know and love from EarthGang and a formidable solo effort with plenty of bars and style to match.

You can listen to “Bang Freestyle” below and the other solo release – “Love to See It” – on wowgr8’s SoundCloud page.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Goat

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
