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)

Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.
That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.
Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.
Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
