Rocky Sandoval Reveals Latest Hit “Deadstock”
Hip-hop/R&B artist Rocky Sandoval has revealed his brand-new single, “Deadstock”. Born in the Philippines and raised in Tacoma, WA, Rocky has been on the rise for several years now with a string of successful releases under his belt, such as last year’s popular “Nineties Are n Be”.
Known for his incredibly entertaining high-energy live performances, smooth vocals and versatile storytelling, Rocky credits his family and his loyal fanbase as his inspiration. The Filipino singer-songwriter has had stops on American Idol, MTV’s Making The Band and The Voice and has toured with R&B legends Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Ginuwine, 112, New Edition and K-Ci & JoJo just to name a few. With no signs of slowing down anytime soon, he looks set to continue his impressive rise with new release “Deadstock”.
With its catchy metaphoric phrases, midtempo driving bassline and unforgettable lead guitar riff, “Deadstock” makes for a fascinating listen and showcases just what a special talent Rocky is. The track is accompanied by an equally impressive music video directed by Docter Sly.
Speaking further on “Deadstock”, Rocky says, “I wanted to create a record that paid homage to my love and ties to the sneaker community. I wanted to use metaphoric phrases to emphasise the underlying issues of being a player, which seems to be normalised in today’s society. I am really big on storytelling, and I thought that the process of creating a record like this was super different.” “Deadstock” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://wmp.lnk.to/deadstock.

Rising Stars Dandy And Ramraz Deliver An Emotional Knockout With “Couldn’t Make a Sound”
Dandy and Ramraz’s latest single, “Couldn’t Make a Sound,” is a masterclass in blending raw emotion with immersive production. The Israeli duo craft a soundscape that’s both delicate and powerful, weaving elements of 2-step garage, jungle, and bedroom pop into a track that feels deeply personal yet universally relatable. The lyrics hit hard, with lines like “I guess my inner child is dead now” exposing unfiltered vulnerability. Dandy’s soft, almost ethereal vocals glide over the pulsating beat, creating a haunting contrast between pain and movement.
What makes this track truly stand out is its ability to turn silence into sound—both literally and metaphorically. The production is crisp and dynamic, pulling the listener into a rhythmic push-and-pull that mirrors the emotional tension at the heart of the song. “Couldn’t Make a Sound” is more than just a song; it’s an experience—one that makes a big impression on you. With their upcoming EP on the way, Dandy and Ramraz prove they’re not just making music; they’re creating moments that demand to be felt.
