Yeshi Unveils Sensational New Track “I Remember The Night”

Published

on

If you’re looking for a track that effortlessly captures the fleeting magic of a night out, Yeshi’s latest single “I Remember The Night” is your perfect companion. Produced by the talented CERTIBEATS, this track is a refreshing dive into a world where dancehall rhythms meet the pulsating beats of rap and R&B.

Yeshi, the 24-year-old Ethiopian-English sensation, is back after a two-year hiatus, and it’s safe to say the wait was worth it. “I Remember The Night” is more than just a song—it’s a vivid recollection of an unforgettable encounter, an exploration of the electricity that crackles between two people when the music’s just right, and the night’s still young.

From the very beginning, the track hooks you in with its dreamy, almost hypnotic intro. Yeshi’s voice is sultry and inviting, setting the stage with lines like, “The way you dance with me was all a fantasy / The way you touch me and the feeling when I breathe.” It’s that kind of opening that immediately transports you to a dimly lit club, where the bass reverberates through your chest and every movement feels significant.

The production on this track is top-notch. CERTIBEATS has crafted a beat that is both infectious and subtle, giving Yeshi’s voice the perfect backdrop to shine. The blend of dancehall and Afrobeats rhythms is seamless, creating a groove that feels natural yet undeniably fresh. It’s a track that demands to be played loud, preferably in a room full of people ready to lose themselves in the music.

Lyrically, Yeshi keeps things intriguing. The verses are filled with vivid imagery and a sense of spontaneity that perfectly mirrors the song’s inspiration—a chance meeting on a night out. In the first verse, she sings, “You come over like you know me with your entrance / So effortless when your connection is instant,” capturing that rare moment when two strangers connect on an almost primal level. There’s an ease in her storytelling, a natural flow that makes you want to keep listening to find out how the night unfolds.

The chorus is where “I Remember The Night” really hits its stride. It’s catchy without being overbearing, a melodic hook that lingers long after the track ends. Yeshi’s delivery is full of emotion, capturing both the excitement and the bittersweetness of the experience. “How could I forget your energy / I remember the night I couldn’t sleep,” she sings, her voice tinged with nostalgia. It’s a reminder of those nights that stay with you, long after the lights come up and the music fades.

What makes this track stand out is Yeshi’s ability to infuse it with her unique cultural background. The subtle nods to her Ethiopian heritage add a richness to the sound that sets her apart from her peers. It’s this fusion of influences—Ethiopian, British, dancehall, and hip-hop—that makes Yeshi’s music so compelling. She’s not just making songs; she’s creating a soundscape that’s entirely her own.

And let’s not forget the energy. “I Remember The Night” is brimming with it. Whether it’s the pulsating beat, the smooth flow of Yeshi’s verses, or the infectious chorus, this is a track that’s made for movement. It’s the kind of song that would feel just as at home on the dancefloor as it would on a late-night drive, windows down, volume up.

On “I Remember The Night,” Yeshi has crafted a track that feels both personal and universal. It’s a celebration of those fleeting moments that make life exciting, and a testament to her growing prowess as an artist. As she gears up for more releases, it’s clear that Yeshi is an artist to watch—a rising star with a sound as diverse as the influences that shaped her.

So, if you’re in the mood for a track that’s as much about feeling as it is about rhythm, give “I Remember The Night” a listen. Yeshi is back, and she’s ready to take us on another unforgettable journey.

NY Rapper Kendu 718 Defines “Gritty” (Single & Exclusive Interview)

Published

on

Kendu 718 is taking over the scene with his latest single “Gritty,” produced by Juxx Diamondz of Back Block Music Group LLC. The NY rapper shows off his signature blend of storytelling and lyricism woven with slick metaphors. He’s simply writing bars and putting out heat; his deliverance though is aggressive and slightly intimidating; true NY style. Stream “Gritty” and get to know Kendu 718 in the interview below.

MJ: Before we jump into your new single “Gritty,” take a moment to let the world know who Kendu 718 is.


Kendu 718: Kendu 718 is someone who really lives what he talks about. I come from the pain of the ghetto—both my mother and father struggled with drug addiction, and growing up, all I saw was crime, poverty, and hardship. That was my environment. But through God’s grace, I was able to change my life. I left the streets behind 17 years ago, and I’ve been clean and abstinent from drugs and alcohol ever since.

MJ: When I think of gritty New York Hip Hop, you fit the mark. Define your lane in Hip Hop.


Kendu 718: I’m part of the culture, this isn’t something I picked up, it’s something I’ve lived. Hip-hop is a lifestyle, not just something you do in the studio. I’m not chasing trends or trying to fit into what’s popular. I represent authenticity, experience, and real New York energy. I’ve been doing this for years, and my lane is staying true to the essence of the culture.

MJ: Let’s talk about the new single “Gritty.” What can listeners expect once they hit play?


Kendu 718: The truth. Straight up. Real-life stories that reflect what I’ve been through and what I’ve seen in the streets. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it shows survival. When you hit play, you’re stepping into reality—no gimmicks, no filters. “Gritty” is my story. It’s everything I lived and everything I witnessed. But more importantly, it’s a message—just because we come from struggle doesn’t mean we have to stay there. We can grow, change, and build responsible, productive lives.

MJ: How did you link up with Juxx Diamondz and Back Block Music Group LLC?

Kendu 718: That connection goes back. I met Juxx through a mutual friend—rest in peace to the OG Benny Hill from Harlem, who managed both of us around 2011–2012. That foundation built real chemistry, and from there, everything developed naturally.

MJ: Can audiences anticipate a visual to “Gritty?”

Kendu 718: Definitely. Me and Juxx Diamondz are currently putting the treatment together now. The visual is going to match the energy of the track—raw, authentic, and true to the story.

MJ: What is next for Kendu 718? What are you currently working on?

Kendu 718: Right now, I’m working on my EP titled From God’s Mouth to Y’all Ears: The Sermon. It’s produced by myself and Juxx Diamondz, with additional production from SaulyOBeats, SkullzAngels, and my guy Dreadful Krueger. Everybody brought heat to the project. We also have some dope features on it.

MJ: Give audiences a little more insight into the sound and movement behind the project.


Kendu 718: We’re putting this out independently through Back Block Music Group, with distribution through Roc Nation. The project is a combination of strong lyricism, real-life storytelling, and powerful features. We represent that golden era sound—we’re keeping that foundation alive. And we’re always boots on the ground, staying connected to the people and the culture.

MJ: Let everyone know where they can find your music and stay connected.


Kendu 718: You can find my music on all digital streaming platforms. Follow me @Kendu_718 on Instagram to stay locked in. This is just the beginning—it’s going to be a hot summer. Peace.
