emoty Makes “History” With Bold New Hip-Pop Single
Denver-based hip-pop artist emoty (aka Tyler Dozier) released his second ever single “History” on June 25. Produced by Madilla (aka Cameron Sargent), the song is a self-reflection and observation of society as a whole – about bragging habits to impress other people, commonly dating partners. Upon first listen, the track seems like an encouragement to do whatever it takes to impress a crush, but it actually puts a mirror up to daters to question why it’s so normal to act this way. emoty has zero hesitation to begin his music career with a striking message.
For emoty, relationships are based on interests, passions, and the quirks that make people unique. He understands the need to prioritize someone’s true self over the money or things they have. Unfortunately, that belief isn’t alway reciprocated. “I hate the concept of flexing because I hate materialism,” says emoty. “I’m the type of person that will wear the same pair of shoes until I’m unable to wear them.” The Denver artist takes on a fresh sense of confidence in the single to portray the chase that goes along with pursuing love. Balancing the urges to confess his feelings and keep his guard up, emoty relates to listeners who have ever felt the need to put their best self forward on a date.
“History” is a perfect summertime jam – mixing the smooth, catchy musical elements of hip-hop and the melodic earworms from pop. Listeners can enjoy the song to simply let loose, or they can dive into the lyrical depths to digest the message behind them. In “History,” emoty touches on the urge to pursue the person he likes, but is unsure if they truly like him back. “I try to stay humble and self aware – I never want to break boundaries,” says emoty. The single was written alongside guitarist and songwriter Justin Scott Lucas who also wrote on Khalid’s Free Spirit album. “History” is a strong start for what fans can expect from Tyler emoty in 2021 and beyond, and it will be available for streaming everywhere June 25.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
