Yahzeed Divine + Silent Someone drop new project “Divine Intervention”
A higher power brings NYC wordsmith Yahzeed Divine and Bronx beat king, Silent Someone together! Divine Intervention is the name of their new nine-track deep collaborative project (out now via Bronx Science Records). Silent Someone injects beats akin to dusty sample collages that equally borrow shards of melody, electronics and moody cinematic elements. Yahzeed is a street poet in every sense, developing in the golden age ground zero of New York as well as a sharp conscious and metaphoric prowess with the pen.
Single from the project “Science Of Sound (S.O.S)” and “96 Summer Air” exemplify their aesthetic in full.
The duo, who initially crossed paths in 2005 during recording sessions at Fred Ones (Sonic Sum, Guerrilla Grooves Radio) TME Studios. That yielded a fruitful musical partnership across various singles over the years. Speaking on the genesis of this album Silent Someone said “it just happened organically from us hanging out together and being in the same circle. Yahzeed would give me his lyrical direction and subject matter of a track and I would go cook up a track from his inspiration. We recorded it all at my lab, 850 Basement Studio.”
Yahzeed has previously released material with Kool Keith, Kurious, Preservation and is a member of the trio known as Sophisticated Savage along with Rhinoceros Funk and MC White Owl.
Silent Someone has also just released a new EP with his duo project Silent Funk (which also features Rhinoceros Funk). He’s previously released several producer albums and has laced tracks for a number of artists including Trinity (Sadat X, AG & DJ Jab)

Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
