Psych Major + Dagha drop “Theme To An Imaginary Malt Liquor Commercial”

Published

on

Take the time machine back to the mid 90’s with Psych-N-Dag in a new single/video.  “Theme To An Imaginary Malt Liquor Commercial” is the duo’s homage to the classic era of St. Ides where you could catch spots on late-nite TV featuring Wu-Tang Clan, Ice Cube, Rakim and the Geto Boys that made you want to run to the back of the bodega to lift a 40 Oz.

This is the second loosie to drop from the long-time rhyme-partners in 2025.  “The-Catch-Up” (recently released on all streaming services) has the self-proclaimed: grown man rap representatives lyrically chewing the fat on recent developments in their respective lives.

Hope Easton Releases Heartfelt and Humorous New Wedding Song “3D Life”

Published

on

A Song for Family, Love, and Life’s Beautiful Complexity

Acclaimed cellist, vocalist, and composer Hope Easton announces the release of her latest single, “3D Life,” a vibrant, funny, and deeply personal song written for her niece and goddaughter, Leylan, on the occasion of her wedding to David. The song is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Blending humor, sentimentality, and a rich musical palette, “3D Life” captures the spirit of a modern wedding anthem—with a wink. Easton draws from inside family jokes, generational wisdom, and musical traditions to craft a piece that feels as timeless as it is tailor-made.

“It’s her wedding song—with a little humor, it could easily be in Wedding Crashers,” says Easton with a smile. “It’s really about life, and how we go through everything together.”

The track reflects on family legacy—quoting the bride’s grandfather’s dry wit (“You can’t always be happy” after watching someone get married) and celebrating the bride’s connection to her talented maternal grandmother, Easton’s own mother. With loving candor, Hope jokes that Leylan is the only one of six nieces who can’t sing—but inherited all the other gifts. “In the end,” Easton says, “it’s about love. We’re all here to love one another, or we wouldn’t be here.”

“3D Life” concludes with a nod to the couple’s new shared last name, now known affectionately as “The Swifts.”
