You’ll catch a few different vibes from this week’s Songs You Should Hear.
Maybe you’re ready to party. On the contrary, maybe you’re ready to put your head down and grind. Or, maybe you’re not in the mood for either, and would rather spend time in the arms of the one you love.
Whatever you’re in the mood for, it’s here.
Artist: Emory Jaymz
Song: Smokin’ Gas
Genre: Hip hop
Why you should hear it: The Nashville-based hip hop artist is working tremendously hard on his artistry. “Smokin’ Gas” is the fourth banger Emory has released in 2022, and he’s got plenty more on the way in the months ahead. If you want to learn more, you’re in luck: we’ve got a special interview feature with Emory coming within the next few weeks!
Artist: Gr3ys0n
Song: Rounds
Genre: Nerdcore hip hop
Why you should hear it: On this week’s episode of The Quinn Spinn, we took a deep dive on this track. In case you haven’t listened yet, this track provides a beautiful account of the Bethlehem, PA-based artist’s journey so far, while acknowledging the love and support that keeps him going, 10 years into his career.
Also, if the TED Talk excerpt laid over this instrumental doesn’t have you ready to run through a brick wall to achieve your dreams, check your pulse.
Check out “Rounds” alongside Gr3ys0n’s new album, Identity Crisis Pt. 4: Hero Saga, below!
Artist: Natasha Blaine
Song: Vegas
Genre: Jazz/Pop/Soul
Why you should hear it: Let’s be honest: every song we’ve ever heard from Natasha is a Song You Should Hear. As for this one? It’s a slow-simmering, absolutely gorgeous neo-jazz ballad about realizing that the bright lights and cheap thrills of Sin City pale in comparison to finding true love.
