In a heartbreaking turn of events, rising rapper Foolio has been confirmed dead following a shooting at his 26th birthday party in Tampa, Florida. His attorney, Lewis Fusco, officially announced the news, urging fans to respect the privacy of Foolio’s family during this devastating time. Fusco shared the confirmation on Instagram, and the news was also verified by local Jacksonville outlet News4JAX.

The tragedy occurred during Foolio’s birthday celebration at an Airbnb, which later moved to a Holiday Inn after police shut down the initial venue.

Just days before, Foolio had tweeted his gratitude for reaching another birthday: “God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday. Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.”

OurGlassZoo delivers a defiant anthemic melody with its new single “Shut Up”

OurGlassZoo

This song’s relatability makes it more than just a fierce anthem. Sometimes, the best thing you can say is nothing at all. With their latest single, “Shut Up,” Canadian alternative rock band OurGlassZoo cuts through the chaos with an unapologetically bold, defiant anthem. This track is a roar for everyone who’s ever felt the sting of judgment, manipulators, and doubters, those energy vampires who thrive on draining others dry. “Shut Up” feels like an emotional cleanse, a sonic purge of all the negativity we carry from people who don’t know us.

Lead vocalist and lyricist Josias Tschanz delivers a compelling, personal, and universally resonant performance. The modern emo-inspired guitar riffs and driving energy bring a sense of novelty. Yet, there’s an edge of timelessness in how the song confronts toxicity head-on, encouraging listeners to reclaim their voice when others try to diminish it.

Recorded at Monarch Studios, the cinematic quality of the production displays tight and polished craftsmanship with dynamic layering that adds to the intensity, likely influenced by Tschanz’s background as a director and producer. His vocals gracefully ride waves of guitar-driven melodies, each chord contributing to emotional depth. Propelled by a propulsive rhythm, the chorus hits like a cathartic release, an outpouring of frustration and empowerment that sticks with you long after the song fades out.

Shut Up” extends beyond the present moment, providing a voice for individuals marginalized by narrow-mindedness, encouraging them to reject silence and conformity and stand taller. It reminds listeners that external perceptions need not define them, emphasizing the power of refusing to heed the noise as a potent form of self-expression. Through this single, the band fearlessly tackles complex emotions with unapologetic energy. Their music balances forcefulness and compassion, profoundly impacting the listener. This track serves as an exhilarating preview of their upcoming album, Horizons. Based on the track “Shut Up,” the album promises to be an enthralling musical adventure.
