Logan Garrett Shares “Aliens Exist”

Published

on

Logan Garrett’s latest release “Aliens Exist” featuring Mobsquad Nard and Killa Kyleon is an intriguing and distinctive blend of two seemingly disparate genres: southern gangster rap and Drum n Bass. While rap collaborations with DnB producers have been commonplace in the UK, it’s not something that has surfaced with prominent American rappers, until now.

Mobsquad Nard and Killa Kyleon’s delivery on this track is impeccable. The fast-paced, underground street rap style of Mobsquad Nard from Jacksonville, Florida and the highly regarded rap skills of Killa Kyleon from Houston, TX, are a match made in heaven. Logan Garrett’s unique take on Drum n Bass sets the tone for an exciting and energetic track that is sure to have listeners moving.

The fusion of these two genres might seem like a strange combination at first, but it’s an arrangement that works surprisingly well. The track opens with a dark and ominous introduction that sets the mood for the hard-hitting southern gangster rap verses, seamlessly transitioning into the heavy Drum n Bass beats of the chorus. The track is a testament to Logan Garrett’s skill as a producer and his ability to blend genres in an innovative way.

“Aliens Exist” is a refreshing and exhilarating take on a classic Drum n Bass sound, with a rap twist that elevates it to another level. Logan Garrett’s work on this track is truly impressive, and the collaboration with Mobsquad Nard and Killa Kyleon is a match made in musical heaven. If you’re a fan of either genre, or just appreciate the fusion of two different sounds, “Aliens Exist” is a must-listen.

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.
