THe LYONZ release brand new EP- ‘Ecstasy’ / ‘Mystery Of Mr. E’
THe LYONZ have been causing a stir as of late with a series of thought-provoking cosmic hip hop EP releases. Having emerged as something strikingly different with a performance at Montreal’s International Jazz Festival, Anthony Salvo and Terrell McLeod Richardson who form the group recently featured on national TV in Canada as well as in last month’s DJ Mag. Now, THe LYONZ present possibly their best EP release to date by way of the joint pairing of ‘Ecstasy’ and ‘Mystery of Mr. E’.
First EP track ‘Ecstasy’ is a shimmering intoxicating piece of electronic music leaning on a backbone of powerful raps. The blur of experimental sounds and lyrics depict being introduced to nightlife at a young age and falling in love with a woman from the scene. Then comes ‘Mystery of Mr. E’, which is a look inside the secret life of a mystery man. The track’s elusive free flowing moods are underpinned by unpredictable snappy beats and heavy bass. Who is Mr. E? perhaps he is you, perhaps he is me? perhaps he is all of us leading double lives?
Both tracks are trippy ever-changing sculptures, hypnotic audio works of art that, like film scenes, envisage the past, present and future in collections of emotions, snapshots of real life and dreams of worlds far away. The music just oozes beauty and raw feelings with organic authenticity and natural attitude. If THe LYONZ are not on your radar yet with this latest two-pronged attack of superb tracks, then they really should be!

Boorook creates a hip-hop anthem for change on “Fight For Your Rights”
Boorook’s latest release, “Fight For Your Rights,” is both a song and a movement. The Indigenous people have a strong voice, and from the first beat, the song has a strong, urgent, and very human energy. “Fight For Your Rights” is an example of how conscious hip-hop can serve as art activism. The track is about unfair systems, and it’s clear that it supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Clarke’s performance is more than just a show, it’s a call to action that tells people to face hard truths and connect with the pulse of community and defiance.
Thomas Lorenzo’s live guitar adds an unexpected yet beautiful layer, giving the rhythm an emotional depth that makes it feel soulful. The track sounds real because it has real instruments and hip-hop beats. This shows how good Boorook is at mixing styles and still getting the message across.
People feel like they are part of a group when they listen to the song “Fight For Your Rights.” The lyrics are deep, and the music is good. It’s a song that makes people want to get together, think, and do something. Boorook doesn’t just play music; he makes people feel strong by turning every beat into a heartbeat for change.
Boorook’s new release reminds us that music can still be a powerful force for truth and change in a world where trends come and go. “Fight For Your Rights” is a call to action, an anthem, and proof that music can still bring us together, make us think, and motivate us.

Malammore unveils a new voice rising from portugal’s margins on new album “Aurora”
Malammore, whose real name is Sandro Feliciano, is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Lisbon, Portugal. “Aurora” is his first album. The album comes out on January 23 and tells the story of his life as a young Black man, his search for belonging, and his country’s cultural resistance. The lyrics talk about love, adoption, thoughts on humanity, and how the artist sees his role in the world. The concept for the album originated from a notebook containing poems, narratives, and my self-perception within this world. It’s a record of the Black experience in Portugal, of belonging and feeling alone, of love and loss.
Sandro, also known as Malammore, was born in 2005 and lived with the Portuguese State for two years until he was adopted in 2008, which was a big change in his life. One of the main ideas in Aurora is to turn the idea of a “black hole” into “the world’s white hole,” which shows a universe that erases identities. He challenges dominant narratives and changes how people see black bodies in society by filling it with the idea of blackness.
The album mixes hip-hop, rap, trap, and spoken word, which is not something that is usually done. Malammore gets the political tone of the project from people like Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Angela Davis, and Fela Kuti. No Icon (Rodrigo Fernandes) did the production, mixing, and mastering for the album at Lisbon Sound Society.
