Ghostluvme Joins Forces With Lil Uzi Vert For Phenomenal New Track “Fact”

Published

Get ready for a massive collaboration! Lil Uzi Vert and Ghostluvme have joined forces for electrifying new track “Fact”. Produced by the talented Brandon Finessin, who has worked with both artists in the past, this is the first time these two powerhouse musicians have come together.

In just three short years, fast-rising rapper Ghostluvme from Broward County, Florida, has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene and a major star among today’s current crop of Gen Z rappers. Since bursting on the scene in 2020, he has surpassed 50 million streams across all platforms (including over 30 million on Spotify) as an independent artist, indicative of his rapid rise and growing prominence within the genre.

Ghostluvme has already caught the attention of some of hip-hop’s biggest hitmakers, having worked with the likes of Scott Storch (Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug), Zaytoven (Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage) and TRGC (Yeat’s “Monëy so big”). His most recent project, Clayton, also saw him collaborate with hip-hop legends Ghostface Killah on “That’s Right” and Raekwon on “Oh Lord”, and new single “Fact” alongside Lil Uzi Vert will no doubt keep his momentum going.

“Fact” is surely set to be another success for Ghostluvme as he continues to draw in new fans with each new release. And with upcoming collabs lined up with megastars such as Future and Trippie Redd, he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon and will be one to watch throughout 2023. “Fact” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://vyd.co/Factfeatliluzivert.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Published

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.

Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.

The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.

What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.

With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
