Toosii Knows His Connection Runs Deep In His Sultry ‘Sapiosexual’ Video
The rapper offers the video off of his recently released project ‘Poetic Pain.’ …
After years of hard work, Toosii’s is finally geting his breakout year. Fresh off a newly-inked deal with Capitol records, the rapper dropped Poetic Pain, his second full-length release of the year. Now he returns with a sultry video for his melodic track “Sapiosexual.”
Directed and produced by Brian Robles, the video follows Toosii on his quest to form a deeper connection with his love interest. But he knows his relationship isn’t just surface level. And so he and his crush are able to discuss the bigger picture.
Ahead of the video’s release, Toosii got a thoughtful co-sign from his South Coast label mate DaBaby. In an interview at the Revolt Summit in October, DaBaby said, “I know, at the point Toosii is now, I even chime in with him on and off on my own. On my own time just to remind him like, ‘Aye, stay right there in that mode that you in’ or go even crazier ’cause I know who he’s dealin’ with.” He added, “He’s the hottest new artist in the world, you know what I mean, right now… Definitely the hottest new emerging artist fasho.”

The Wild Horse finds beauty in breakdown on stirring new single “Moments”
The Wild Horse, from East Sussex’s vibrant indie scene, continues to define their sound with funk-laced guitar grooves, hip-hop rhythms, and classic British swagger. With Jade Snowdon joining brothers Jack and Henry Baldwin and lifelong friend Ed Barnes, the band is known for its infectious live energy and emotionally moving songwriting.
Frontman Jack Baldwin and drummer Ed Barnes wrote “Moments” to reflect on a relationship’s gradual breakdown, not heartbreak. The track moves from bitterness to the strange quiet that follows clarity. Instead of devastation, it’s understanding why it was never meant to last.
The band balances emotion and upbeat music well. Bright indie-pop textures, tight percussion, and crisp guitar work support Baldwin’s honest vocals. The song’s natural ease lets each lyric breathe, especially in its reflective moments.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.
