In classic Noname fashion she is still keeping the release date a secret, but this makes it seem like it's coming soon. It's been two years since Noname put out her debut album Telefone which was a success among critics and fans alike. Telefone marked a serious step forward for Noname as an artist. For years before it came out she was an artist with a handful of tracks and a lot of dope features, coming up with other Y.C.A. kids like Chance, Mick Jenkins and Saba but when she released her album she established herself as one of the dopest MCs in Chicago. It's going to be interesting to see what direction she goes after Telefone, a pensive album that balanced mortality and joy just like her city. Noname is one of the realest rappers because she doesn't try to hide her thoughts and her experiences go straight into her lyrics. I can't wait to see where she goes next.

"Frequency" comes ahead of Elton's debut album Elevated which is scheduled to be released next month, but will not be a part of that project. Elton, Bedows and The Burns Twins will also be releasing an EP as a group in the near future.

Steven Moses Debuts Love Me / / Leave Me
Steven Moses makes his first appearance on our pages with his debut project Love Me // Leave Me. The 18 year old musician from Hollidaysburg, PA displays his guitar-skills throughout the project. The young artists has taken off with his single "Love Me" which premiered on Elevator earlier in 2018. He has also been seen with the likes of Rick Rubin.
The emotional lyrics, contagious melodies, and hazy production combined create a trippy vibe. The final verse on the outro track "Leave Me" foreshadows the rockstar lifestyle Moses is about to partake on. "So now I be in the limelight drugged out thinking 'bout nothing but money. Funny how only the people below me think that they're above me, low key fucking love me".
