Emerging Rapper Ghostluvme Continues To Impress On Latest Project
With a unique style and a mesmerising lyrical aptitude, rapper/singer Ghostluvme from Broward County, Florida, is poised to take the hip-hop world by storm. Having already dropped several successful releases with super producers such as Scott Storch (Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, Trippie Redd), Zaytoven (Future, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne) and TRGC (Yeat’s “Monëy so big”), Ghostluvme has built a loyal following and accumulated well over 10 million streams on Spotify as an independent artist in just two years since bursting on the scene in 2020. And the streams and acclaim will surely keep on coming with the release of his new project, Mixtape.
The project features standout track “Bowser”, which is on course to be another hit thanks to its hypnotic production and Ghostluvme’s melodic flow. Speaking further on the new release, Ghostluvme says, “I made this tape in one day. ‘Bowser’ is a special track, and I released it as therapy for myself. All the beats are produced by my brother for life, Paqboygrazi, and I’ve got more soon to come. I hope everyone enjoys it.”
It’s becoming clearer with each release that Ghostluvme is destined for greatness and will be a major force in the hip-hop scene. Currently in the studio working on new music with several US hip-hop A-listers yet to be revealed, as well as readying the much-anticipated official release of a collab with Lil Uzi Vert, he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, so expect to see and hear plenty more from this fast-rising star over the next year.
“Bowser” and the rest of Mixtape are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/Ghostluvmemixtape.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
