Artist to Watch: Baydream Unleash Debut EP “Cosmos”

Published

on

Not even a month since debuting on the scene, Baydream is back with the debut EP, “Cosmos.” Baydream’s debut singles, “The Flame” and “Peasants,” were released on the same day last month. The pair of singles are not on “Cosmos;” thus, the four-track EP introduces fans to four never-before-heard songs that demonstrate why Baydream is a rising star.

“Cosmos” is an eclectic body of work. The EP takes listeners on a sonic journey. Akin to the EP’s name, the EP has a spacey, futuristic sound. It is Alternative, Experimental, Indie, Pop, Rock, etc. It truly has its own sound, and Baydream does a great job of showcasing versatility.

“Cosmos” commences with “Leaving.” “Leaving” has synthy sounds with a rhythmic, catchy drum-based backbone. The vocals are soothing and blend with the instrumentation. Track two, “Shatter Matter,” keeps the cloudy sound, but adds electric guitar and has a more Soft Rock ambiance. Baydream’s crooning maintains the euphonious, laid-back tone that is pervasive in Baydream’s music. The EP then turns to “Enigma.” Ironically, “Enigma” has an experimental, unique sound. Baydream uses a blend of autotune and an almost Rap-like flow to express the clever message of the song. The final song, “Fooled,” slows the pace back down a bit and is a great record to serve as the closer for the EP. “Fooled” has a more traditional sound to it, but still maintains the distinctive tone that Baydream is known for.

“Cosmos” is the perfect fall EP. Although, the EP is great for any occasion, it does have a “sitting by the fireplace” or “being out in nature, watching the stars or leaves fall” sound. Each song on the EP has an infectious, memorable sound and resonating lyrics. Press play of “Cosmos” and let it take you to another world.

Kingdom Kome x RUEN see the “Cracks In The Foundation”

Published

on

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video).  “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap.  As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today.  It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.  

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together.  A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado.  This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
