Shannon Smith- “I’m Gonna Change”
Following the success of his debut single, “Dance The Night Away,” which claimed the #1 spot on the Australian AIR charts, Shannon Smith is now set to release his poignant sophomore release, “I’m Gonna Change.”
“I’m Gonna Change” takes listeners on a musical journey that diverges sharply from Smith’s earlier upbeat hit. This track delves into the raw emotions of a man grappling with the fear of losing love. Smith’s introspective lyrics, “I am tryin’ / I am dyin’ / In myself / When I’ve done wrong,” lay bare the complexities of personal redemption and the desperate promises of reform made to salvage a relationship.
Steeped in the rich tradition of Western Australian folk-rock, the song draws parallels to the evocative soundscapes of Cruel Guards-era The Panics and echoes the spirit of The Waifs during their London endeavours. The song seamlessly shifts Smith’s focus, demonstrating a surefooted evolution in his musical journey.
As Smith pledges to change and move beyond past mistakes, “I’m Gonna Change” unfolds in an orchestrally epic fashion, signalling that these lyrics are not empty promises but rather the foundation for a transformative journey. This gripping release leaves listeners eagerly anticipating future chapters in Shannon Smith’s evolving musical narrative.
Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.” The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.
This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca. Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman. This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian Raw, AjaxLo & CTraffik.”
Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.
Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here:
The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.

Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way! In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
