DaVinciBands drops “Young Bands.” DaVinciBands’ artist name is an homage to the great, Leonardo da Vinci, in the sense that DaVinciBands sees himself as more than just a rapper, but as a true artist. “Young Bands” has the bravado and boasting omnipresent in Rap, but also has the hopeful, motivational lyricism prevalent in Hip-Hop; thus, demonstrating DaVinciBands’ versatility, and lyrical and artistic prowess.

DaVinciBands’ unique flow and unrivaled wordplay make his music standout from the crowd. DaVinciBands is truly money in “Young Bands.” The catchy hook and vulnerable yet hard-hitting lyrics coupled with the upbeat, piano-laced instrumental, which was produced by Bradley Moon, gives “Young Bands” much replay value. Therefore, it seems fitting that “Young Bands” serves as the lead single for DaVinciBands’ upcoming project, “DaVinciBlues,” which is slated for release later this year.

Benicio Bridges Ghanaian Heritage and UK Rap on New Single ‘EVE’

For Benicio, music is a way of bringing together the different worlds that have shaped him.

His new single ‘EVE’ does exactly that, blending the unmistakable sound of Ghanaian HipLife with Afroswing and contemporary UK rap. Joined by fellow collaborators COLLINZ and SLO, Benicio delivers an upbeat, romantic track built around a recognisable sample from Ghanaian HipLife legends VIP.

At its heart, ‘EVE’ is a celebration of attraction and admiration, but for Benicio, the track represents something much deeper: the meeting point between his British upbringing and Ghanaian heritage.

“It means everything to me because I feel like it’s where my two worlds intersect. I’m combining my interest in rap music with my Ghanaian heritage. It perfectly symbolises my upbringing in a way which feels authentic to me on all fronts.”

The track itself came together organically during a studio session with SLO. Benicio immediately began writing to the beat, initially treating the idea as a freestyle, before SLO reworked the structure into the finished record.

Longtime friend and collaborator COLLINZ was then brought in for an additional verse, with Teigr handling the mix. Adding an especially personal touch, Benicio’s girlfriend also contributed background vocals to the chorus.

The result is a fun, energetic and romantic introduction to Benicio’s next chapter.

That chapter follows his work with the RUDEWRLD collective, whose Dreams Worth Fighting For tape reached the Top 15 of Ghana’s All Album Charts and Top 5 of Ghana’s World Genre Chart. His music has also received playlist support from Spotify and Apple Music.

Now, with his forthcoming debut mixtape A Beautiful Day on the horizon, Benicio is stepping further into his own artistic identity.

‘EVE’ captures that intersection perfectly: infectious, personal and unapologetically rooted in who Benicio is.
