Hip hop artist SIR has been busy in the studio lately coming up with some heat, creating four new thought-provoking tracks: "Pyramids", "Deep Thinking" feat. Mr. Hill, "The Letter" and "Thank God! (The SIRimony)"
SIR had this to say about the last track, "Thank God!": "I grew up in the Hip-Hop era of lyricism. When cats used to start cyphers at any given moment and use the lunch tables as beat machines. I always wanted to keep my blade sharp, because I never knew when I would need to “snap” lol….I Thank GOD, for my art… I had to “snap” on this one to make sure my blade was still sharp." 

With this high caliber music, we here at The Spotlight are really looking forward to his next project. Check out the tracks below!

I was happy to review Alessia Cara's album Know-It-All, when it was released this past November. Now the singer is back with a new video for one of my favorite tracks on the project, "Wild Things!"

In the beginning, Alessia introduces the video, along with a group of her friends, explaining the concept of the song. "To me, 'where the wild things are' is a place that exists in our minds. It's a place of liberty and shamelessness," she said.  "It can take a split second of our lifetime to find it, but once you do you’ll be free."

The video itself is very carefree as the singer and her crew hang out, roam the streets, play music and even light up some fireworks. They're perfectly fine with doing their own thing, and resisting the urge to follow the norm. That's what I love about Alessia in general. She creates her own cool.

Check out the video below!

Last summer, we did a feature on hip hop artist Kupid (aka Q), sharing his backstory and passion of music for you guys. Well, Kupid is back with a new music video for his track, "Who Shot Ya," feat. singer Jus J!

The chill, sexy track isn't actually about any violence at all, but really about Kupid being shot by the actual Cupid, falling for a special lady who catches his eye. The track was produced by Troyton Rami, who also directed the visual, and the track was written by Kupid and Mykul Watson, with live instruments from Angel Barrel, Marcos Mejia, and Troy Murphy. "I decided that I wanted to make a new song that had the same feel that “Hey Girl”[released in 2013] did," Kupid said of the track, wanting to I wanted to get that feel that we still in the States, but when you close your eyes you can feel and hear the Caribbean in background."

While working with Troyton and other producers for about a year and a half, Kupid actually finished another track that he first thought to make his first single of 2016. "While that song was sent off to get mixed, I sat down and talked to [Troyton] about doing a part 2 of my single "Hey Girl, which is where "Who Shot Ya" came to life," the artist said. "After we got all the items together we both knew this was going to be the single to take me to the number one spot on the Billboard [charts]."

The track will be available digitally on February 25. Check out the video below!
