Get Ready to Groove with NXTHXN’s “One Time”
Get ready to groove, because Nathan Palmer, known in the music world as NXTHXN, is back with a sizzling new single, “One Time.” This London-based R&B/Soul sensation and session vocalist is set to captivate audiences with his unique blend of smooth R&B vibes and infectious Afrobeats rhythms.
Nathan’s journey through music is as rich and diverse as his background. Growing up in a Christian-Caribbean household, he was immersed in a variety of musical genres from an early age, including Gospel, reggae, rock, and pop. This eclectic mix of influences has shaped NXTHXN’s distinctive sound, blending nostalgic elements with a contemporary edge.
Produced by the talented Delirious, “One Time” marks an exciting new chapter for NXTHXN. Delirious’s expertise in infusing tracks with an Afrobeats flavor perfectly complements NXTHXN’s soulful R&B vocals, creating a seamless and irresistible fusion. Drawing inspiration from artists like Chris Brown, Burna Boy, and Rotimi, “One Time” captures the deep, universal need to feel loved and to share unforgettable moments with someone special.
Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records). Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums. West-Coast emcee Gennessee guests on the track spitting a lyrical dissertation on the woes of a police state, racial profiling and surveillance.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
