Flo Milli Switches Up Her Flow On PJ’s ‘Element (Remix)’

The two stars have broken out in a big way in 2020. …

Despite still being within the first year of her stardom, Flo Milli refuses to stagnate. Joining Greensboro, NC singer PJ on the remix to her single “Element,” the Mobile, AL-born Flo Milli adopts a more sing-song delivery to fit into the smooth mood of the instrumental, switching easily from her machine-gun flow to one that utilizes a more melodic swing. PJ herself gets in some swaggering bars as well, creating a hypnotic yin-and-yang dynamic between the two young performers.

PJ, who released her second EP Waiting For Paris in May, has been slowly working her way up to a debut full-length after building up her writing credits and featuring with Common on his A Beautiful Revolution Part 1 single, “Say Peace.” She also recently released another single featuring fellow North Carolinian Lute, “I’m Forreal,” as well as contributing “Single for Christmas” to Atlantic Records’ debut R&B Christmas album Still Home for Christmas.

Meanwhile, Flo Milli experienced a huge breakout this year when her TikTok popularity influenced RCA Records to turn her debut EP into a full-length mixtape, Ho, Why Is You Here? The tape turned out to be a fan favorite, leading Milli to feature on a string of singles from Benee, $not, and Yung Baby Tate, among others.

Listen to “Element (Remix)” above.

PJ is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Album Review

R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album

In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.

“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.

Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution. “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.

The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

“Signalling Signatures” finds Mr Pigeons exploring dreams, truth, and hidden meanings

While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.

“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.

The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
