Bijan Amir – Wild (Instrumental EP)
I’m new to bijan amir, but his new 2 track instrumental EP was enough to win me over. This shit is just amazing. I guarantee you’ve never heard anything like this before, especially as an instrumental album. The cover of the Wild EP is a beautiful drawing of what looks like a gorilla just uncaged.…

Don Michael Jr. – Alive (New Track + Review)
Let’s just note the artwork for Don Michael Jr.,’s new single, Alive. Whoever created the cover certainly knows how to draw some attention. After listening to the song, I actually believed he had that psychotic looks in his eyes while he was recording this. The coos throughout the track are reminiscent of some Travis Scott ad-libs…
