Nyota Parker - "Transcend" @NyotaParker
Cape Town-based rapper/vocalist/songwriter Nyota Parker presents the Knew Visions-directed music video for her new single "Transcend". Claiming Congolese, Irish and South African heritage, Nyota makes a fusion of hip-hop, jazz, trap and soul she calls 'trazz'. Nyota says "Transcend" is all about what she's "claiming for 2020 and the future. This is an introduction to who I am, what I believe in as a non-conformist and as someone who breaks the boundaries of gender in music and my day-to-day life."

LYRICS:
My mic is like my only highlight in my life some days. I testify in two 8s like saints on Sundays. Cuz I been through the sewage and come back unfazed. Now my music’s my temple of worship, so come praise. Now let me reintroduce myself, I’m Sa-Roc. They call me Red or shawty for short on my block. Ain’t have no bread, fam kept me fed on Garvey and Gil Scott, so I’d keep a real shot. Now I’m trigger happy, busting too often from my esophagus. Offering my soul up in every verse from my consciousness. See, DC made me but I’m bigger than a metropolis. Super Manifesting my lane from crib to sarcophagus. I ain’t gon lie, lil recognition would be dope. Cuz I be channeling just like a Panasonic remote. The ghost of my past demanding to hide my every quote. Until the truth saves my future just like a antidote. Hand to God.
This ain’t never easy
Hope that you believe me
Cuz I don’t have a reason
To ever tell a lie to you, rather say goodbye to you, baby
(2x)
I tried to tell you was an alien once or twice. I guess 10 albums of evidence just did not suffice. This world don’t fit me, I’m wearing it like a faulty size. But I still slay every space I’ve been known to occupy. Spewing ink on this 8 x 11, they call me octopi. But most of my lines don’t see light of day like they Dracula. Been so afraid that my honesty would get me ostracized, cuz I can’t prove this shit to you. Bruh, I’m just hypothesizing. And I know one thing for sure, they ain’t looking for authentic. Homie, all these rappers is plastic and freshly augmented. Seem like real shit off the table, unfamiliar off limits. All my views is super Black like the windows is all tinted. That’s my truth, I don’t deny you yours. I’m tryna leave a hip hop classic, bomb your train of thought like Style Wars. With stories of how I earned these stripes we’ll call that tiger lore. Legend of beauty and beast- an internal dialogue. Hand to God.
This ain’t never easy
Hope that you believe me
Cuz I don’t have a reason
To ever tell a lie to you, rather say goodbye to you, baby
(2x)
They ask for more, I told em sure. Let’s see, who am I? First, I’m extraordinary, more than meets the human eye. And that’s not arrogance. It’s more like I’m exhuming pride. They tried to bury my self worth and call it suicide. I object. I came too far and fought too hard to be a prior threat. There’s clear and present danger lurking in my dialect. And turbulence in every piece that I ain’t fired yet. I’m peaking, I’m Mt. Zion. Holy shit, it’s prophesied I guess. Like I wasn’t ‘posed to make it past the 1st year. Now I’m in the twin cities rocking pink coats of cashmere. Y’all don’t make this album fly, I’m thinking bout jetting-that’s Lear. But I got in the game to make some kind of change-cashier. So what do you suggest? Should I walk it out? Get 3 stacks on the track? One more Outkast to talk about? I’m on my own path, have no other plans to stalk your route. So I’m gon leave this here. Dope artifacts from Roc. I’m out. Hand to God.
This ain’t never easy
Hope that you believe me
Cuz I don’t have a reason
To ever tell a lie to you, rather say goodbye to you, baby
(2x)

Roccwell ft. M-Dot & DJ LP2 - Roadrunner (OFFICIAL VIDEO) @Roccwell @MDotBoston @Lp2music @VinylDigital_de
"Roadrunner" is the first single from German producer Roccwell's upcoming album “Still Lovin’ Boombap.” The single features one of the hardest working emcees in the underground, M-Dot. Roccwell secures the Boston wordsmith fresh off the release of M-Dot’s recently viral single "The Atonement" with the legendary Pete Rock.
"Roadrunner" was created in Munich during M-Dot's last European tour. Written, recorded and shot within only 24 hours.
The utter passion for music encompassed on this single, comes along with many successes but also the juggle of balancing family and the hardships of the independent grind. The theme echoes to those who relentlessly work hard and consistently maintain high quality output, that they too can have long-term success.
Roccwell's 15 track album "Still Lovin' Boombap" will be released April 5th via the German label Vinyl Digital and features M-Dot, Maylay Sparks, Ruste Juxx, Born Unique, Craig G, Bankai Fam and many more.

T.Lucas and Substantial - The New Balance (Live from the DMV) feat. DJ. RBI @tlucas301 @IamSubstantial @djRBI
DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area MC and eight time Champ of WPGC 95.5's Mic Fight, T.Lucas lyrically spars with fellow DMV, Lofi Hip-Hop veteran, Substantial on the new single, The New Balance (Live from the DMV). The duo trade bars over a track self produced by Sub reminiscent of Golden Era 90s Boom Bap with masterful cuts by DJ RBI as the cherry on top. Lyricism, or a return to lyricism, is the new balance.
This is the debut single from T.Lucas and Substantial's collaboration EP, entitled Dirty Sneakers due to release in late Spring. The EP is five tracks produced by Substantial with verses by T.Lucas including features by DJ RBI, JDA and soul vocalist, Stephanie Gayle.

New Orleans Bounce Deejay Dies at 44 After Contracting Coronavirus
Popular New Orleans bounce artist Go DJ Black N Mild died Thursday after testing positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office confirmed with Billboard on Friday. He was 44. The deejay, born Oliver Stokes Jr., was a major New Orleans radio personality and was the first deejay in the area to create a radio show dedicated to New Orleans Bounce, Billboard reported according to Stokes’ social media.
The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment. Following Hurricane Katrina, Stokes worked in Houston where he hosted a mix show, Rhythm and Bounce, which was played on a New Orleans AM station on Saturday nights.
Outside of his music, Stokes also was a father of four and worked at the Arthur Ashe Charter School in the Gentilly neighborhood. According to The Times-Picayune, Stokes left school on March 9 with a fever, and later documented his health journey on his Facebook page. On the same day, Stokes checked into the Ochsner Urgent Care in Lakeview with a 102.4 fever, he shared on his social media.
On March 10, he shared that he hadn’t “had the flu in years,” adding an emoji wearing a surgical mask. The following day, he shared on Facebook that he had moved to the University Medical Center in New Orleans, where he was tested to have “pneumonia not the flu.” “Our school community is devastated,” Sabina Pence, the CEO of the FirstLine Schools, which runs Arthur Ashe, told The Times-Picayune.
As of March 21, there have been 17,962 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 239 deaths in the United States, according to a New York Times database. Epidemiologists have said Americans need to start practicing “social distancing” — staying inside as much as possible and keeping about 6 feet of distance from people — to limit the chance of asymptomatic people spreading the coronavirus further. The CDC also recommends that the best prevention methods are basic forms of hygiene — careful handwashing, avoiding touching the face, moving away from people who are coughing or sneezing and staying home at signs of illness.
