Semwanga breaks boundaries with new single “All About The Funk”
With the release of “All About The Funk,” Semwanga is making a bold statement. This exciting mix of rock and hip-hop is an expression of an artist eager to stand out and make a mark. As the last single before his upcoming EP “My Bad,” this track sets the stage for what’s coming next. Inspired by the raw energy of past musicians and the adventurous sounds of modern artists, Semwanga creates a vibe that feels both familiar and new. It’s a nod to a time when music was all about having fun and being unique.
The story behind the song is just as important as the music itself. For Semwanga, “All About The Funk” reflects his own journey in the UK music scene, where he often felt out of place. He transforms that feeling into a powerful track celebrating strength and self-expression. The song combines intense guitar sounds with upbeat hip-hop beats, and Semwanga delivers his lyrics with both edge and charm. It’s the kind of track that gets you moving while making you think. The energy is wild in a good way, celebrating uniqueness and the beauty of being imperfect. What makes this release special is its personal touch. Semwanga has also recorded a live performance of his entire “My Bad” EP right from his home, inviting fans into his world in an intimate way.
It shows that great music just needs heart, honesty, and, of course, a good groove. With “All About The Funk,” Semwanga is starting something bigger than just a new single. It’s a message to let go of expectations, embrace being different, and remember that music is about connection and freedom. As we anticipate the release of “My Bad,” this single acts as a strong introduction to an artist who is unafraid to challenge the norms. Semwanga is forging his own path, and he’s doing it on his own terms.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.

ALPHA CENTAURI blends hip-hop, funk and afrobeat ambition on latest release “The Future Right Now”
ALPHA CENTAURI introduces his debut album, “The Future Right Now,” with a 10-track project recorded live off the floor with a stacked 8-piece band. The Vancouver, Canada-based hip-hop artist brings together funk, Afrobeat, jazz, and hip-hop across a record produced by Wes Smith and mixed by Justin Hicks. From the opening track, “We Rise,” catchy bass, synths, and drums establish an energetic foundation as Alpha delivers the words, “Okay 1,2,3, here we go, Alpha about to show them who he is,” followed by “Family the air in my wings as i take flight.”
“Get Your Money Up” shifts into cool drums, guitars, and horns, with Alpha’s rap flow remaining catchy as the song focuses on readiness, focus, and turning big dreams into reality. “Grow” follows with horns, catchy drums, and sub-bass, carrying the inviting line, “Baby let me get up in your mind, I think we can grow.” On “I’ll Fly,” light shaker, smooth guitars, toms, and kick create another distinct texture, while Alpha reflects on ambition and resilience with “Headed to the top and they wanna know why” and “what do they want from me, i gave it all, had to pick myself so they’ll never see me fall.”
The album continues through “Evermore,” “Higher Up,” “Never Be,” “Expect Us,” “Rugare,” and “Aria’s Lullaby.” “Higher Up” brings an R&B feel with chilly rap flows, while “Never Be” moves with faster rap delivery. “Rugare” opens with slap bass, muted guitar, and catchy drums, and “Aria’s Lullaby” takes a more personal direction, like a message to a daughter. It opens with “Who we are who we are, Hey there little Aria, got something for your soul,” set against strings holding the melody. Across its ten tracks, “The Future Right Now” presents ALPHA CENTAURI’s blend of live instrumentation, rap, and varied musical textures.
