D.White Drops Candid New Release “8 Ball”
D.White, the talented hip-hop recording artist and writer hailing from Columbus, Ohio, has just released his brand-new single, “8 Ball”. This introspective and powerful track showcases D.White’s poetic finesse and rap prowess, delivering a message of triumph and resilience amidst life’s challenges.
Having cultivated his skills in the underground hip-hop scene for nearly a decade, D.White now takes centre stage with “8 Ball”, following the success of his previous single, “Feeling Super”, which received acclaim upon its release in April.

These hardships served as a driving force behind his creative pursuits, leading him to find solace and expression through music and poetry. His debut poetry book, I Made A Place For You, stands as a testament to the healing power of art and its ability to mend a fractured identity.
Speaking about his latest single, D.White shares, “‘8 Ball’ comes with an air of overcoming, optimism and introspection that reflects my current place in life. I wanted to give fans a glimpse into my backstory, peel back a layer on the sound we are developing in the studio and show lyrical versatility with this one. For me, this is a ‘bounce back’ song that tells the story of starting with little to nothing and never yielding to the insecurities that accompany hardships in life. ‘8 Ball’ is a victory over insecurity, worry and fear of becoming who I am destined to be.”
“8 Ball” takes listeners on a compelling journey through D.White’s personal growth and transformation. The song’s magnetic beats and thought-provoking lyrics create an immersive soundscape that will resonate with audiences far and wide. As D.White continues to carve a unique path in the hip-hop world, “8 Ball” stands as a testament to his dedication, authenticity and passion for his craft. “8 Ball” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/8-ball-dwhite.

Feelgood Frequencies: Why CR Srikanth’s “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” Is The Sonic Hug You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’ve been looking for a track that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug wrapped in shimmering synths, CR Srikanth’s new single “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” might be exactly what you need. It offers a beautiful balance of emotional depth and danceable energy, pulling you out of your head and into a place where you can just breathe, feel, and move. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this track delivers a sense of calm and release.
Srikanth, a US-based Indian composer and sonic storyteller, has carved out a unique musical space with his self-created genre, VS Pop™ (Very Smooth Pop). Drawing from vintage 1980s synthpop, ambient soundscapes, and cinematic orchestral touches, he’s crafted a style that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. “Dancing in the Dark” continues that evolution. It is at once intimate and expansive, polished yet deeply human.
The track features vocals from Junior Paez, whose delivery adds emotional texture to the lyrics. There’s a quiet honesty in lines like “Don’t you think you’re losing your mind again?” and “Hold on, I’ll take you a little higher tonight.” These words speak to the chaos we often feel inside, but instead of staying stuck there, the song encourages movement, connection, and hope. It is music that acknowledges the darkness but chooses to dance through it anyway.
The production is rich with shimmering arpeggiators, retro synth bass, and crisp electronic drums. It brings together nostalgia and futurism in a way that feels effortless. Imagine flickering neon lights, soft motion blur, and the kind of energy that makes you want to close your eyes and sway. It is cinematic but never overwhelming. Every layer serves the emotion at the heart of the track.
What makes “Dancing in the Dark” so appealing is how well it adapts to your mood. Whether you’re heading out for a solo night drive, setting the vibe for a weekend gathering, or simply lying on your bed in need of a reset, this song fits the moment. It never pushes too hard, but it always lands exactly where it needs to. There is something comforting about how sure of itself it feels.
CR Srikanth is not just making music for the sake of it. He is building emotional landscapes for listeners to get lost in and to find themselves again. With “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™,” he offers more than just a catchy tune. He gives us space to reflect, to feel seen, and to find joy in the act of simply moving forward. So press play, turn it up, and let yourself be lifted. This one’s for the heart, the soul, and the feet.
