On her debut single “Plastic Cup”, N3WYRKLA is planting a marker in the ground. As the lead single to her upcoming debut LP, “Plastic Cup” is the equivalent of peeking into a diary nobody was supposed to read. It’s intimate but not frail, confident but not blaring. N3WYRKLA’s weaves between a sound that’s atmospheric and direct, pulling listeners into her world without pause.

From the opening chords, “Plastic Cup” holds a nearly cinematic mood, a quiet moment before the big change. Her vocals hover between vulnerability and strength, and she delivers lyrics that feel authentic in a way that’s difficult to fake. It is the sound of someone wrestling with growing pains, the quest for an identity, and the bittersweet ache of memories that linger long after they should.

It’s where-asphalt rubberiness generates that plip-plop beat that sounds alive and fleshy, the way a lousy plastic solo cup can feel like meaningless junk or pure nostalgia, depending on what your drink is while held. N3WYRKLA seems to encase that tension and turn it into an unexpected image metaphor that lingers long after it ends.

What’s most evident at first blush is that “Plastic Cup” is not about the numbers. It’s rooted in emotion first, structure second, a welcome change in a music landscape that’s all too focused on perfection over authenticity. The production is subtle but immersive, which leaves N3WYRKLA’s voice room to sound truly close, like she’s sitting beside you telling a story meant for your ears and no one else’s.

If “Plastic Cup” indicates what’s to come, N3WYRKLA’s debut LP will be an extremely personal, soul-baring voyage. What she’s not doing is slotting herself into our current musical climate, creating her lane, and inviting people to ride shotgun from the get-go.

When SV and Alyssa Jane join forces, you already know it will be something special, and their latest drop, “Clocked,” is no exception. In a world that’s constantly clicking, this Alternative Hip Hop banger is the perfect theme music for everyone caught up in the madness of following their dreams before time’s up.

Right off the jump, “Clocked” pulls you in with its hypnotic beat, a grunge feel, a bit of the future, all attitude. SV wastes no time establishing the mood, spitting intense, sharp verses that drip charisma and breathe urgency. His flow is smooth here, riding the beat like a wave, luring listeners further into the song’s rippling energy line by line.

Then comes Alyssa Jane, and poof, the vibe changes in the best way. Her voice on the mic is arresting, lending a snarling playfulness to the song. The chemistry between SV and Alyssa Jane is palpable, each prodding the other more and more to go harder, faster, louder. They might as well be daring each other and us to be faster.

What sets “Clocked” apart is more than its infectious energy: It’s the sense that it knows how that universal battle against time feels. Whether you’re on the grind for success, chasing a passion, or taking it one day at a time, “Clocked” is relatable, but it doesn’t get bogged down in the heavy stuff. Instead, SV and Alyssa Jane convert the pressure to pure fuel, making the stress of the ticking clock cause them to celebrate.

With this track, SV again shows that he’s the master at crafting tight lyricism with out-of-the-box production. And Alyssa Jane? She’s an ideal co-pilot, adding just the right amount of extra fire that makes “Clocked” an undeniable earworm.
