Renowned for the breakout success of singles 'green eyes' and 'waste your time,' Summer Pearl makes a triumphant return with her debut mixtape, outmysystem. Infused with echoes of generational talents like Lauryn Hill but featuring a fresh UK twist, the mixtape beautifully showcases the full spectrum of Summer's talent—soulful and gritty, nostalgic and forward-looking, melancholic and uplifting. Seamlessly blending influences from Soul, Dub, Reggae, Hip-Hop, and Jazz, Summer crafts a distinct and refreshing sound, defining a deeply personal and heartfelt mixtape. This project, a collection of songs spanning three years, reflects on personal growth and a slew of personal experiences.

Kenny Mason's album 6 is just one of the many unique genre-bending projects in his rapidly growing discography. His distinctive sound blends grunge rock, hip-hop, and shoegaze in a way that illicits punk from the early 2000s. To put it simply, Kenny Mason's sound and flow are truly unique in the rap world. Despite receiving acclaim and recognition within the scene for Angelic Hoodrat (2019), I believe Kenny Mason remains a hidden gem in the broader rap landscape. If you're seeking a refreshing change of pace in your rap rotation, do yourself a favor and give Kenny Mason a listen.
