Alwa Gordon, J. Lately, Alexandra Tha Author - Let’s Ride (Release Date: 5/12/2022)
Kicking the list off with feel good vibes, on a Sunday night, fittingly appropriate as we creep our way towards the summer. Courtesy of Alwa Gordon (of Santa Cruz, CA), J. Lately, & Alexandra Tha Author with their record “Let’s Ride.” A smooth, easy going jam that can easily be the soundtrack for a day at the lake, park, or even on the road. Sometimes life throws a handful at us and the outcome might vary. In these last couple years, we have seen a lot of people go. Life is short, moments are temporary. However, the memories last and we cherish on to those. So make them when you can and don’t beat yourself up. Keep your head up and spirit high, you will find your way.

Cast Away$ (Kasper) - 4RENT (Release Date: 5/12/22)
With the next record, we are blessed with a visual from the Cast Away$ ‘333’ EP third single titled “4RENT.” The third record from their visuals accompanying their conceptual release. A project from the trio featuring 3 singles each. With two of the member’s singles, $ins and O.D., being already released. This one served as the finale for the project’s rollout, all playing to the concept of 3s. With that being said, this song is one of the heaviest hitting joints on the project and has been anticipated by their listener’s for its release. Listen as Kasper bars out over one of the craziest beat changes we have heard in a while. We can tell you about it but you are going to want to tap in yourselves. You will not be disappointed.

Stu J The Vamp - Back From The AZ (Release Date: 5/13/22)
The heartbroken vampire is back with a quick in-n-out style record that he laid down and laced a quick visual to a couple days before its release. A freestyle type track that is melodic and fun as anything found on the most popular Spotify playlists, although, this gem is a Stu J The Vamp Youtube Channel exclusive. Stu J takes his viewers on a quick view of his trip to seeing his mother on Mother’s Day, finding inspiration to bring his latest recording to life along the way. It is dope to see Stu J take a slightly different approach from his most recent visuals. It nostalgic and delightful at just about 1 minute and 45 seconds long. We find ourselves with the catchy bars stuck in our heads.
Tap in with Stu J the Vamp right here online and dip into the catalog.
127Rick - Salty (Release Date: 5/14/22)
Next up is 127Rick with his latest visual release “Salty.” Directed by FullPrice Media Group, this song is perfect for riding out to clear your head. The soulful vocal sample and heavy bassline are just as addicting as they are nostalgic. The instrumental compliments the distinct tone in 127Rick’s voice. The contrast of his tone against the beats allows his vocal inflections shine. Speaking on the people that come and go in this life when you are mission motivated. The pain is his voice is relatable and every word is spoken with conviction along with charisma. He leaves nothing unsaid and lets the listener’s what his head has been at lately in 2022.
If you enjoyed this one too, you can follow 127Rick right here.
Travis Wayne - WO VI (Release Date: 5/9/2022)

This time around, tapping in with SkyCash beats for his latest record “WO VI.” Breaking down his lifestyle and what it means to be down with the lifestyle. Displaying lyrical ability and flexing bars throughout the whole track. If there’s one thing Travis does well, its being authentic to who he is.

PakCity of Reno, NV is steady on the grind. This time they have BennyGetPaid and J’illa turn it up with their latest single “Thug In Me” which is a flat out banger. A modern day twist on the Bonnie and Clyde love. Everyone wants a ride or die, wrong or right always by your side. Its not for everyone, especially when you live a specific lifestyle. Benny and Illa tell it like it is and what it takes to be with them if you really say you are all in. Tough love but real love is all they ask for. If you can’t do that then the door is right there. Being with a real one was never meant to be easy but if you can stick it out then let your actions show. Don’t be scared, this what you wanted, right?

Kicking off the list is the Winnemucca, NV artist, Brooksy drops his latest single. This one is titled “Rainy Studio Days” and feels just like the title implies, tunes for a rainy day. Brooksy takes the time to reflect on the world and the inner working of his mind as he takes a moment to stay inside due to weather conditions. Although stuck inside, he lets his mind roam free and expressions take the wheel. This song is smooth, bouncy, and thought provoking. All while maintaining a fun atmosphere, this one was cleverly curated and has a high replay value.

Sequoyah Fox - Taboo (feat. Bozzy) (Release Date: 4/28/22)
The next gem on today’s collection comes by way of Truckee, California & Portugal, with Sequoyah Fox. A sultry, silk like vocalist who strokes her brush of various emotions across every musical canvas she comes across. This single, “Taboo,” is no different. This time around she commissions, long time collaborator, Bozzy for a feature. As stated by Sequoyah, this song is “in honor and respect for my late grandpa who continually inspired me to ‘Never give up on my dreams.’ This one is for you Pops. Thank you for holding me in life and guiding me in death. &always pushing me to be my best, do my best and live life.” Bozzy joins in and contributes tastefully to the whirlwind of feelings yielded by this song itself.

JUWASE - Limitless (feat. $inClar3) (Release Date: 4/24/22)
For song three on the list, we introduce JUWASE of Southern California. He recently dropped a visual for his last single “Limitless” featuring $inClar3. The two California based artists linked up for a smooth banger that people who live the player lifestyle can vibe with. Taking the scenery from Reno, NV and filming with @Highvisions28 to bring the visual to life. Relying on the night scene for a easy going aesthetic, this song is perfect for any night rides. Juwase gently glides across the beat to bring an infectious bounce that you can nod your head to. Last but not least, $inClar3 hops on to give her take as a lady player. All boss talk that no simps can relate to. This one hit a little different.

Cast Away$ - Maybe I Should Go? (Release Date: 4/29/22)
Next up to bat, is the Lake Tahoe kings, Cast Away$ with their new single “Maybe I Should Go?” Fresh off their EP ‘333’ releasing last month, they are not slowing down at all. This time, the trio comes together for a single displaying their group chemistry and how sharp it is. This song right here is special, touching on the repercussions of toxic patterns in love. The heaviest of emotions is something a lot of us are struggling with at varying degrees. We all cope differently and hold weights accordingly. Sometimes being selfish is the selfless thing to do, even if it is intimidating. When the time is right for you, move on. Only you can tolerate what you allow in your life. Things get better because you will always have yourself to be there for. A special message from the both in North Lake.

Down the list we go, we have our most recent Interviewee, Doc Gruesome. For his latest single “Uma Thurman” featuring Ztarve. A heavy hitting banger, with notes of grunge, horror core, boom bap-trap influences. This one is catchy and clever with the wordplay. Both verses are matched in themes, energy, and imagery. The level of skill in writing ability, cadence, and overall delivery is consistent with the work ethic possessed by Doc Gruesome. This one is perfect for gym workouts, high intensity activities, or a good time with loud speakers. The audio quality is another highlight from the record, a solid representation of Doc Gruesome’s artistic repertoire.
This one is contagious and will be played for some time over on this side. If you enjoyed this underground banger, then tap in with Doc Gruesome right here.
ZP Ratik - You Don’t Know (Release Date: 4/29/22)
Another new release from a WW Interview alumni, ZP Ratik drops his newest single “You Don’t Know.” A special song with accompanying visuals, detailing the pride ZP has for how far he has come in his city. Reflecting on a journey, where the beginning was full of wonder and to where he is now, able to count up his W’s acquired along the way. He has seen so much change around him and learned about his own capabilities as an artist. One thing is for sure, is no matter how long the city has known him, they don’t know what he had to endure to gain the slightest amount of respect. A grind he cannot take for granted, listen in and let his heart do the speaking. It is one that is not to be missed!

To close out the week in releases, we have Kayla Rae of Reno, NV. A soulful, singer with R&B flair to fit in modern times. The song is titled “Somebody New” and is her first single in a few years. After a brief hiatus, she is back with new music and a new vibe to provide to her supporters. This song right here poses the hard question that young people find themselves pondering. “Is it bad to love somebody, then want somebody new?” These days, distractions are in abundance, and its affecting how we see love in ourselves amongst others. Some days, you realize there’s so many different people who might be right for you. Whether you are able to find them or not, your spirit might call on you to keep your heart open even when its currently preoccupied. It’s never really anyone’s fault, feelings come, they go, and everyone eventually drifts apart one way or another. So be easy on yourself if you are ever questioning where your heart is. As long as you trust its guidance in conjunction for where you want to go in life, then follow that curiousity. This song is special in its own right and truly a highlight from the week.
