Jack Harlow Announces New Single “Tyler Herro”
Tyler Herro was an absolute superstar for the Miami Heat in the NBA Playoffs. Making it all the way to the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, the 20-year-old rookie was catching looks from unsuspecting basketball fans who previously didn’t know he could ball out like that.
His performance in the Finals was outmatched and he went a little under the radar but, on the Heat’s way past the Eastern Conference Finals, he was a major part of the team and has proven to be a player to watch out for in coming years.
As such, he’s starting to find his name in rap songs, with Jack Harlow announcing that his next single is titled after the Heat rookie.
“My new single ‘Tyler Herro’ OUT TOMORROW,” wrote Jack Harlow on Twitter, posting pictures with the baby-faced hooper.
Jack’s love for Herro makes sense, especially given the 20-year-old’s college days as a Kentucky Wildcat. Hailing from Kentucky, Jack knows to keep it homegrown.
After the success of “WHATS POPPIN”, it will be interesting to see if the bubbling rap star can continue his momentum through another chart-rising single. Do you think the 2020 XXL Freshman has what it takes to make another hit song?

ReeToxA confronts the past with truth on “HMAS CERBERUS”
“HMAS CERBERUS,” ReeToxA’s new single, is a raw, very personal song about his life experiences. The song sounds like Oz rock from the 1990s, and modern alternative and grunge. It sounds brave and familiar at the same time, like a truth kept secret for a long time.
“HMAS CERBERUS” is based on a true story from Jason McKee’s life, and it shows how his ten years in the Navy changed him and how they still do. The song bravely speaks to the emotional toll of service, including alcoholism and mental stress, sincerely.
The poem is what makes the single stand out. The writing is brilliant and stays smart, and it’s hard without being preachy. The singer got the idea for the song when he saw four seasons in one day at a beer garden in Melbourne. It connects the sudden change in the weather to a life that is constantly changing and hiding how you feel. It’s a potent metaphor for a mind that finally stops long enough to figure out where the damage started.
The song “HMAS CERBERUS” is both intense and at the same time. It makes you think, but it’s also surprisingly easy to dance to, which shows that dark themes don’t have to be sad music. The song is both interesting and challenging to listen to because of the gritty guitars and rock base. In a sea of safe releases, ReeToxA stands out as honest, raw, uncomfortable, and necessary. “HMAS CERBERUS” is a brave meditation that stays with you for a long.time

A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
