Exploring The Psyche Through Sound: AMillionForever’s DISTORTED EP
Buckle up, folks, because AMillionForever is taking us on a wild ride with his latest EP, DISTORTED. Hailing from the land down under, this enigmatic artist has been making waves in the music scene with his genre-bending sound and unapologetic attitude. And let me tell you, DISTORTED is no exception—it’s a rollercoaster of emotion and sonic innovation that’ll leave you craving more.
From the get-go, AMillionForever grabs your attention and refuses to let go. With the opening track, “RISKY”, he sets the stage for what’s to come—an electrifying blend of hip-hop swagger, R&B sensibility, and pop hooks that hit harder than a double shot of espresso. Seriously, this guy knows how to command a room (or in this case, your earbuds) with his bold vocals and infectious energy.
But DISTORTED is more than just a collection of bangers—it’s a deep dive into the mind of AMillionForever himself. Throughout the EP, he grapples with the highs and lows of his journey, from the thrill of success to the crushing weight of self-doubt. Tracks like “WHEN I SAY” and “NO CAP” pull back the curtain on the inner workings of his psyche, revealing a raw honesty that’s as refreshing as it is relatable.
What sets AMillionForever apart from the pack is his willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations. With DISTORTED, he fearlessly experiments with sound and structure, weaving together intricate beats and unexpected melodies to create a sonic tapestry that’s as mesmerizing as it is unpredictable. Each track feels like a journey unto itself, filled with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
And let’s not forget the production—hats off to AMillionForever and his team for crafting a sound that’s as polished as it is provocative. Every element feels meticulously crafted to evoke a specific mood or emotion. It’s the kind of attention to detail that separates the amateurs from the pros, and AMillionForever is definitely in a league of his own.
In the end, DISTORTED is more than just an EP—it’s a statement. A statement of artistic vision, of personal growth, of unyielding passion. With each track, AMillionForever invites us into his world, urging us to confront our own demons and embrace our true selves. And for that, we can’t help but be grateful.
So do yourself a favor and crank up the volume, because DISTORTED demands to be heard. Whether you’re already a fan or a new listener, there’s something here for everyone—a sonic journey that’s as exhilarating as it is enlightening. AMillionForever may be a rising star, but with DISTORTED, he’s already shining bright.

NY Rapper Kendu 718 Defines “Gritty” (Single & Exclusive Interview)
Kendu 718 is taking over the scene with his latest single “Gritty,” produced by Juxx Diamondz of Back Block Music Group LLC. The NY rapper shows off his signature blend of storytelling and lyricism woven with slick metaphors. He’s simply writing bars and putting out heat; his deliverance though is aggressive and slightly intimidating; true NY style. Stream “Gritty” and get to know Kendu 718 in the interview below.
MJ: Before we jump into your new single “Gritty,” take a moment to let the world know who Kendu 718 is.
Kendu 718: Kendu 718 is someone who really lives what he talks about. I come from the pain of the ghetto—both my mother and father struggled with drug addiction, and growing up, all I saw was crime, poverty, and hardship. That was my environment. But through God’s grace, I was able to change my life. I left the streets behind 17 years ago, and I’ve been clean and abstinent from drugs and alcohol ever since.
MJ: When I think of gritty New York Hip Hop, you fit the mark. Define your lane in Hip Hop.
Kendu 718: I’m part of the culture, this isn’t something I picked up, it’s something I’ve lived. Hip-hop is a lifestyle, not just something you do in the studio. I’m not chasing trends or trying to fit into what’s popular. I represent authenticity, experience, and real New York energy. I’ve been doing this for years, and my lane is staying true to the essence of the culture.
MJ: Let’s talk about the new single “Gritty.” What can listeners expect once they hit play?
Kendu 718: The truth. Straight up. Real-life stories that reflect what I’ve been through and what I’ve seen in the streets. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it shows survival. When you hit play, you’re stepping into reality—no gimmicks, no filters. “Gritty” is my story. It’s everything I lived and everything I witnessed. But more importantly, it’s a message—just because we come from struggle doesn’t mean we have to stay there. We can grow, change, and build responsible, productive lives.
MJ: How did you link up with Juxx Diamondz and Back Block Music Group LLC?
Kendu 718: That connection goes back. I met Juxx through a mutual friend—rest in peace to the OG Benny Hill from Harlem, who managed both of us around 2011–2012. That foundation built real chemistry, and from there, everything developed naturally.
MJ: Can audiences anticipate a visual to “Gritty?”
Kendu 718: Definitely. Me and Juxx Diamondz are currently putting the treatment together now. The visual is going to match the energy of the track—raw, authentic, and true to the story.
MJ: What is next for Kendu 718? What are you currently working on?
Kendu 718: Right now, I’m working on my EP titled From God’s Mouth to Y’all Ears: The Sermon. It’s produced by myself and Juxx Diamondz, with additional production from SaulyOBeats, SkullzAngels, and my guy Dreadful Krueger. Everybody brought heat to the project. We also have some dope features on it.
MJ: Give audiences a little more insight into the sound and movement behind the project.
Kendu 718: We’re putting this out independently through Back Block Music Group, with distribution through Roc Nation. The project is a combination of strong lyricism, real-life storytelling, and powerful features. We represent that golden era sound—we’re keeping that foundation alive. And we’re always boots on the ground, staying connected to the people and the culture.
MJ: Let everyone know where they can find your music and stay connected.
Kendu 718: You can find my music on all digital streaming platforms. Follow me @Kendu_718 on Instagram to stay locked in. This is just the beginning—it’s going to be a hot summer. Peace.
