Shojizero – Not Hiiiii Enough

Bounding in with his first release of the year, the ever-elusive ShojiZero is haunting on the new drop ‘Not Hiiiii Enough’.

Boasting a broody, trap-Esque rhythm lined with heavy bass hits and a hint of metal flair, the New Jersey-based rapper delivers a track that is ominous, exciting, and entirely unique. Produced by frocious, its gritty rhythm and quick flow changes keep you on your feet, a signature element of ShojiZero’s work. The sinister sound samples reflect the lyrical narrative, which is one of rampant illicit activity due to inflated egos, and how being overly confident can often do more bad than good. “If you follow the lyrics, it tells a pretty violent story” ShojiZero explains, “There’s a shooting involved, drug dealing, and some pretty graphic stuff. My overall purpose with this song is to warn younger people of becoming too confident. Don’t get me wrong, confidence is essential for many things in life. But too many people today think that they’re greater than themselves and that they’re above the natural way of things. “Not Hiiiii Enough” is basically a song about people who pretend to be something they’re not, and it gets the best of them. Average high school and college-aged kids love to act like famous rappers, celebrities, and mobsters when they couldn’t be further from that. Some people simply don’t know how to be humble and I feel like that is a major contributor to the many social issues that we face today. As a young, independent artist the last thing I want to do is continue to promote this blindly arrogant mindset.

Always working on his craft, there is nothing more exciting in the world to ShojiZero than music. His aptitude for bold instrumentals and addictive melodies borrow from a wide range of genres, yet his clever approach to structure switches them into something that is entirely his own. After beginning to write at the age of 14, he has performed in countless local bands, including his current band The Last Martyr, and also dropped his debut EP ‘Leo Season’ last year, which features his biggest hit to date ‘Six Six Six’, racking up over 16,000 streams on Spotify. Focusing on the underbelly of society and the struggle of mental health as the inspiration for his bars, his immeasurable talent at the age of just 21 is sure to develop into an artist who will stand the test of time.

A producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, ShojiZero is a triple threat too good to ignore.

Peedy WhoDank Cruises Into Our Playlists with the Laid-Back Groove “Saturday Nite Vibez”

Peedy WhoDank dusts off with his new single, “Saturday Nite Vibez.”

From the opening beat, “Saturday Nite Vibez” seeps with laid-back cool, the sort of production that sounds designed for riding palm-lined streets with the window three-quarters down. Embracing a vintage west coast Peedy gets deep into a timeless sound, one that really doesn’t try hard, but simply lets the groove do all the talking.

It’s a song made for casual moments, a late-night drive with nowhere specific to go, where the lines of city lights blur past and the weight of the week finally begins to smudge. You can hear the nods to the golden era of west coast music but Peedy WhoDank makes it fresh and for the first this is completely his own flavor of modern-day cool. No gimmicks, no cheap tricks just lovely Saturday night magic.

What sets ‘‘Saturday Nite Vibez’’ apart is how effortlessly it captures a vibe. It’s the kind of song that you put on once and before you know it is three plays later and you still don’t want to move on. The production remains smooth and unfussy, allowing the beat to breathe as Peedy’s low-key delivery rides the pocket just right.

In a world programmed to race toward the next thing, “Saturday Nite Vibez” makes the case to slow it down, take the scenic route and appreciate where you are. It’s music for when you’re not trying to turn up for when you’re just trying to vibe.
