Red Balance - The Lights Are On
Red Balance - The Lights Are OnThere is a moment in everyone’s life where it is time to stand up even if you feel that you are not ready for it. Can you imagine Michael Corleone refusing to lead the “family” after his brother ´s assassination? The song is a rock story about those scary moments where you feel that you are in the middle of a stage, in front of a crowded and unforgiving audience; there is nowhere to hide, The Lights Are On!!
Baby Panna - Out The Mud
Rapper Baby Panna is still in the preliminary stages of his career, but his new EP amplifies a hunger that seems to have been with him from the start. His style flitters between melodic, acoustically composed hip-hop and psychedelic trap; there’s evident influence from the likes of Playboi Carti and Kendrick Lamar, however equally from British producers like JD. Reid too. Baby Panna released his first lot of music back in 2019 which was a mixtape including his work over that past year, his music varies in style and genre and this really shows throughout his first mix of music. He likes to think of himself as a boundary pusher like the artists that he looks up to but at the same time he wants to take the time to create music and release them when the time is right for him. He is an up-and-coming artist from the south coast and one to keep your eye on for sure!
