Dios Negasi drops new single “Harem”
One-man wrecking crew Dios Negasi returns! The emcee/producer dropped his new single “Harem” this morning. Braggadocious boom-bap to the hilt, this is triumphant hustler music. As the artist says “I had been watching a lot of blaxploitation films while cooking up and that vibe took over me.”

This track is the first leak from the forthcoming Kevlar Cathedral album (to drop on 8/6) a reference to a bullet-proof body of work, which follows the blaxploitation vibe throughout.
For those who have followed Dios Negasi’s career over the past few years, know he has been rapid-firing a slew of tight releases including with his eight-man Los Angeles set, Reagan Era Records and solo. Kevlar Cathedral is the first of three solo offerings for this year and as the artist proclaims “you can tell the growth on each project.” The most recent release being last winter’s Black Violin LP which featured appearances by all members of Reagan Era Records as well as RJ Payne.

Upstate NY Rhyme Capo B.A. Badd has dropped a visual for new single “100” this morning. Filmed in his home turf of Syracuse, NY (shot by Trigg The Ruler) Badd speaks on keeping it thorough and evolving his game while posted up through the town. “100” was produced by Virginia beatsmith Sypooda (Ab-Soul, Daylyt, Grafh) and is the first leak from the Painted In Hunger collaborative LP to drop on May 12th via B.A.’s own E.B.E. Lifestyle LLC Imprint on Bandcamp and on Ebelifestyle.com.

Painted In Hunger will be B.A. Badd’s first non-single since 2020’s Really HIM EP (with producer Reallyhiiim) and 2019’s Everybody Eats LP (which featured appearances from Conway The Machine, Rome Streetz and RIM among others). On the live circuit he has been keeping busy appearing on Jae Skeese’s Ground Level 2025 national tour.
Speaking on the new project the emcee revealed “there’s a lot of growth from my last project to this one. My other projects were very grimy and hard-hitting. I’ve grown as a man since then, experiencing fatherhood so this is probably my most personal work. I tackle subjects including race, family, betrayal and love.”
