Original Christmas Song by Brandon Look
I was inspired to write a song about how Christmas feels as a kid to how it feels now. Admittedly, with a lot happening in the last year, Christmas feels very strange for me this year. I tried to capture it in song form.I’d love to hear your feedback on this. Hopefully more original stuff to come in 2020.
Profiiit - Yale (Josephine)
'Yale (Josephine)' is a powerful and impactful cut from Profiiit's latest album, 'Alexander' (released 28/02/22, Dead Poet Society)Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the East Coast US underground rap scene. His style cannot be simply defined in terms of genres due to his insatiable need to constantly move and push his sound to new levels, however influences include J. Cole, Kanye West, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar and the late XXXTENTACION. Something Profiiit has in common with all of these inspirations is a long endeavour for greatness.
