Draymond’s New Track “iceberb” Is Built for the After-Hours
There’s something beautifully unpolished about Draymond’s “iceberb”. Out now, the hazy new cut lives somewhere between Atlanta rap, SoundCloud-era chaos and the sweaty, late-night energy of an underground club.
Moving between Los Angeles and Tokyo, Draymond has been carving out a sound that feels distinctly internet-age: fragmented, instinctive and deliberately hard to pin down. “iceberb” is a perfect snapshot of that world. Think stripped-back production, layered vocals and an Atlanta-leaning atmosphere that gives the whole thing the feeling of stumbling across something you weren’t supposed to hear yet.
The track came together during an absurdly productive month with collaborator Scarsbleedpurple, who was living on Draymond’s couch while the pair made music around the clock. More than 100 songs emerged from the sessions, but “iceberb” had something special. Scarsbleedpurple’s verse was freestyled, adding to the record’s loose, spontaneous feel.
Built around YouTube beats and vocals, “iceberb” doesn’t overthink things. It leaves space for the performance to do the heavy liftingand that’s exactly where its charm lies. It’s intimate, raw and club-ready without ever sounding overly polished.
For fans of the hazy, genre-blurring world around Tezzus, Don Toliver, Thouxanbanfauni, Yung Fazo, midwxst and SoFaygo, Draymond is one to keep an eye on.
“iceberb” is out now. Press play, turn it up, and let the night get a little blurry.
Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!
Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.
First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
