East London artist/producer and songwriter Strike with his new song ‘Can I Walk With You’ produced by Tom Misch. The track has a nice chilled vibe about it and Strike explains… “it’s about some of the things I think about while I walk around London on my daily travels. I believe that though we all think we think different things, we actually think more similarly than not. Therefore all of us can relate to someone else if we actually spoke about what we think. The best time to do this sometimes is to walk and talk.”

The always real Emmy award-winning Oklahoma City rapper Jabee brings a powerful performance to his track ‘Tried So Hard’. From the soulful vocal sample on the Phen-produced single and the vulnerability of Jabee’ lyrics are emphasized by the haunting visuals directed by Todd Beats of a man torn to pieces by the very people he craves to please.
Jabee says the song is about “me dealing with my insecurities, my faults and how people will kick you not knowing that you are already beating yourself up inside. The video is a picture of that and how you still need to be able to smile through it all.”
This is just another amazing track and video from his latest album ‘Black Future’ a hard-hitting preview into raw emotions and uncut feelings that construct his third full-length release.
