Hold onto your headphones, because Lonely Leonard is here to shake up your playlists with his electrifying debut album, ‘BLOCKBUSTER’! This Phoenix-based rapper isn’t just any artist—he’s a former porn director turned hip-hop sensation, bringing his wild, unconventional experiences straight to your ears.

‘BLOCKBUSTER’ is a 12-track rollercoaster ride through the realms of drill, EDM, and jersey club. Leonard pulls out all the stops, delivering catchy hooks and provocative raps that are guaranteed to get stuck in your head. He describes the album as “like watching a 3D movie without the glasses on”—a trippy, vibrant mix of genres and themes that paints a vivid picture of the ups and downs of fame.

Leading the charge is “I Did It”, an anthem for New Jersey that showcases Leonard’s swagger and his ability to slay a jersey club beat. Inspired by legends like Eminem, BandmanRill, and Travis Scott, Leonard mixes their powerful vibes with his own unique style. The result? A banger that’s impossible to ignore.

But wait, there’s more! the artist isn’t just making music; he’s making a difference. A portion of the profits from his merchandise sales will be donated to the AZ Access to Abortion Fund, proving that he’s got a big heart to match his big talent.

Lonely Leonard’s journey is just as impressive as his music. He records with Killroy, the mastermind behind tracks for Snoop Dogg, and gets engineering help from Fritzthaproducer, known for working with Pop Smoke. His music has already caught the attention of big names like Ebro from Apple Music and Rick Ross, setting the stage for Leonard’s meteoric rise.

So, plug in, turn up the volume, and let Lonely Leonard take you on a wild ride through his mind. This is one blockbuster you won’t want to miss!

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!

His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.

“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”

The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:

“I just want to entertain people and make them a bit happier.”– Aaron King.

Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.

“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.

“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”

Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
