Kingdom Kome “Crush Grapes” in new video / single
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.

Naud Takes Flight with ‘Un Gars Bian’: A Wild Ride of Music & Madness

After ten years of musical mischief, Naud has finally dropped anchor, or rather taken flight, with Un Gars Bian, an album that feels like a hug from an old friend and an impromptu dance party all at once. This high-energy, genre-mashing adventure blends alternative pop, electro, funk, and whatever else Naud felt like throwing into the mix. Think Marseille’s “joyous chaos” bottled up into soundwaves, bursting with playful unpredictability.
Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.
The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!
So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!
