Prolific emcee / Lo-Life Kingdom Kome has dropped a new single with accompanying video this morning. “Crush Grapes” is the first single from the second collaborative LP with Producer/DJ RUEN entitled Malbec 2 (to drop on 7/19/24).

Sultry, tropical but still sportin’ thick bass and drums, the track is a perfect backing for Kingdom Kome to drop braggadocios bars on some boss shit. The video perfectly compliments the sonic sentiments with the emcee straight stuntin’ in his hometown of Miami, FL.

Speaking on the genesis of the track, the emcee said “Crush Grapes was actually the last record we did for the album. The album was already turned in and mastered. Me and RUEN were in the lab producing some records and as soon as I heard the infectious horns I instantly knew I had to call an audible and add this to the album!”

In regard to working with RUEN he added the following “I feel like I have different chambers and vibes I tap into depending on what producer or artist I’m working with at that specific time. Since RUEN is my DJ and longest working producer, I feel like we have developed a very signature sound together. He has an amazing ear and can go from some really grimey boom bap records to trap to R&B, dancehall and club records effortlessly, regardless of the record his signature drums always are hard hitting and I feel like with Malbec 2 we are both our prime and both in our prime and it’s my most well rounded project to date!”

This is the first in a series of singles and video which will drop prior to the LP’s release date.

Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.

Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.

The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
