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