St. Louis Rapper BRB Loopy Nearly Killed In Shooting

BRB Loopy has a lot of buzz around his name in his native St. Louis but, last week, his rise was nearly halted after the rapper was shot five times.

The 21-year-old rap artist is recovering from the incident, which Fox 2 Now describes as a drive-by shooting.

Loopy was in a car with one of his friends on Sunday, October 18 when they pulled up to a red light. The car next to them reportedly began shooting at them, hitting the driver once in his head and landing five shots on BRB Loopy. The driver is still alive but he remains in critical condition. Loopy was placed in a medically-induced coma for several days but he is currently stable, recovering in the hospital.

“Our city needs to come together—St. Louis, East St. Louis—and help each other out, not hurt each other, especially now that you have someone that has the potential to touch someone worldwide and it would have been a tragedy,” said Valerio Sanders, Loopy’s manager about the shooting. “But it feels good to turn something like this into a victory.”

Sanders describes Loopy’s sound as an “urban Justin Bieber”, claiming that he’s got a clear motivational vibe that speaks to the trials and tribulations he’s faced in his life.

BRB Loopy recently lost his brother to gun violence, so it’s a miracle that he was able to survive this.

This news follows that of Kent Won’t Stop’s death, a local Virginia rapper who was found dead in a car’s trunk after a car accident in Miami. Read more about that here.

“Support” is a meditation on what it feels like to work tirelessly for something you want, but not have the support you need to fully achieve it. Wyn Calico expresses the emotional burden of wanting to make a difference, believing in your purpose, and still moving forward when you hit setbacks. The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.

This song also highlights an important truth, there are many talented and hard-working people out there who have everything it takes to make a difference, except the encouragement and opportunity to flourish. Wyn Calico’s lyrics and delivery shine a light on that struggle and offer a sense of solidarity to those in similar situations.

“Support” isn’t just a personal statement. It’s a conversation starter. It encourages us to think about the value of community, support, and believing in each other. Wyn Calico’s latest drop is honest, relatable, and emotionally driven, a powerful reminder that even in the moments of isolation, the desire to keep pushing forward is still stronger than ever.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
