(Reach Records; Atlanta, GA; May 25, 2018) – WHATUPRG, the up-and-coming rapper, writer, producer and newest artist to join Reach Records, announces the release of his debut EP Pleasant Hill. Arriving today (May 25), the 7-track project is now available for purchase and streaming across all DSPs here.

Aptly titled, Pleasant Hill, WHATUPRG invites fans and new listeners to go on a personal journey with him, “I live off Pleasant Hill. It’s where I’m at right now,” he explains. “I think that’s what this whole project means to me. It’s not perfect or where I want to be, but it’s me right now.”

Primarily written and produced by the multi-hyphenate artist himself, WHATUPRG is aiming for the fences. On Pleasant Hill, he delivers an eclectic and ambient soundscape intertwined with an intentional message that nothing can separate us from the love of God, or as RG simply states, “You’re never far enough.”

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.
