Black Fuchsia Make A Huge Impression With New EP Continue
In an exhilarating collision of talent, rapper DiLLY and DJ/Producer Monk converge once again to unleash the sonic force that is Black Fuchsia. Following the debut track “fauna” and the stellar EP Cotton in 2021, the dynamic duo from Knoxville, Tennessee, are back and ready to captivate the world with their new EP, Continue.
Black Fuchsia’s musical tapestry weaves a delicate yet powerful balance between the soft and hard edges of hip-hop, presenting a compelling exploration of rap’s diverse dimensions. Their sound, a fusion of dynamic flows, thought-provoking lyrics and confident deliveries, allows them to stand out in the crowd. The duo sidestep conventional beats, opting instead for a harmonious blend of deep-hitting drums and creative melodies that seamlessly meld into each other, crafting mixes that are both distinctive and meticulously polished.
Rooted in the unmistakable influence of New York, Black Fuchsia pay homage to iconic pioneers such as Cannibal Ox, Wu-Tang and The Alchemist. This infusion of heavy New York vibes stands as a testament to the duo’s dedication to honouring the genre’s rich roots.
The new EP, Continue, is a testament to Black Fuchsia’s commitment to the authentic fusion of traditional hip-hop elements with a contemporary twist. More than just music, their narrative is a reflective journey through street culture, innovation and the pulsating evolution of a dynamic genre. Continue includes the previously released single “Stay” and will resonate with fans of 38 Spesh, The God Fahim, Bruiser Wolf, The Alchemist and Fat Ray.
Speaking about the new EP, Black Fuchsia say, “While we never approached the project with any attempt to make something cohesive as a whole, the similarities between what were essentially all singles began to become increasingly more intentional. Continue highlights our comfort as a team, the inertia possible when we fully flesh out music together much like the acts we mirror. There’s a certain texture that’s vintage to rap, and when you hear it, we want you to think of us – really, just trying to lead the race.”
Continue is available to buy/stream now on all platforms. For a deeper dive into Black Fuchsia’s sonic universe, the project’s deluxe edition with the bonus track “Equatics” can be found exclusively on Bandcamp from December 1st.

Buckle up, folks, because The Good Neighbors are back with a banger that’s bound to make waves. Hailing from the vibrant city of Buffalo, NY, this genre-defying crew is turning heads once again with their latest single, “Moonlight Shoreside.” Led by the dynamic duo of Connor Getz and Jacob Frasier, The Good Neighbors are on a mission to blur the lines between jazz, pop, and indie, and let me tell you, they’re doing it with style.
“Moonlight Shoreside” isn’t just a song; it’s a vibe. Picture this: you’re strolling along the shore on a balmy summer night, the moon casting its silvery glow over the sand. The air is thick with anticipation as you steal glances at your companion, wondering if tonight’s the night when sparks will fly. That’s the energy The Good Neighbors bring to the table with this track.
From the get-go, “Moonlight Shoreside” hooks you in with its infectious melodies and irresistible groove. The combination of shimmering synths, funky basslines, and crisp percussion creates a sonic tapestry that’s as intoxicating as a sea breeze on a hot day. Seriously, try listening to this song without tapping your foot – I dare you.
But it’s not just the music that’s got us hooked; it’s the story behind the song that really pulls at the heartstrings. “Moonlight Shoreside” is a tale of longing and uncertainty, set against the backdrop of a moonlit rendezvous by the water. As the lyrics unfold, we’re drawn into a world of whispered secrets and stolen moments, where the line between friendship and something more becomes increasingly blurred.
In the chorus, vocalist Connor Getz lays it all on the line, his voice dripping with emotion as he sings, “Now the others are all gone. Why continue to lead me on?” It’s a gut-wrenching plea for clarity in the midst of confusion, and it hits you right in the feels.
But don’t let the heavy subject matter fool you – “Moonlight Shoreside” is also a whole lot of fun. There’s a playful energy running through the track that’s impossible to resist, like a game of cat and mouse between two star-crossed lovers. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab your crush by the hand and dance the night away under the moonlight.
Ultimately, “Moonlight Shoreside” is a certified bop that’s guaranteed to get you in your feelings and on your feet at the same time. The Good Neighbors have knocked it out of the park once again with this one, delivering a track that’s equal parts sexy, soulful, and downright addictive.
