Take note that the majority of streams are coming from playlists that aren’t owned by us. That means that people have discovered Key Loch through natural browsing and have added it to their personal playlists, or perhaps to playlists that aim to expose budding artists within a genre. It may even be some influence from radio station playlists! Either way, Key Loch is turning heads and it’s looking like it’ll be smooth sailing here on out for the band. Whether they’re bringing original compositions or covers, their usual swanky style or a different aesthetic all together, Key Loch have their foot in the door of stardom, and they’re breaking into the big leagues the more that life goes on. Combining music experience with passion, and collaborating with multiple different artists and mixers, Key Loch is a fluid and dynamic operation that is sure to have something to satisfy you, no matter what your discerning taste requires. We’ve touted this about them before and we’ll do it again, because ain’t nothing that can slow this rolling stone down!

Key Loch are Damien Reilly and Justin Gross. They are the founders of the 90’s power Aussie Rock Band Southpaw. They bring together a production history between them of 50 years of song writing and playing live music in Australia. They collaborate with mixers such as Gabe Rizza, Tom Polce, and Chris Garcia, and vocalists such as Avery May Parker and Sahra, and the melting pot of talents and life journeys is clear to hear in their wonderful music across the many genres in which they dabble. The future is bright and Key Loch are wearing shades as they unlock the musical doors of your mind and fill it full of awesome music. This is the beginning of something amazing and the world can never have enough of GREAT tunes – and if you don’t believe that, the proof is in the pudding with these outstanding stream results. Just listen to that mo-town talent and get ready to sway.

Friday August 26th is your chance to be a Big Shot with DL Down3r and crew! CALIFORNIA!

Post date 15 July 2022

Uno Tha Prodigy has given us some brilliant news for what him and the Suga Boom Boom crew are planning! The details are right here for you, and it’s gonna be big! Click HERE to check out a Facebook shoutout all about it!

This August! The 26th, out at Lancaster, Pillsbury Street. Will you be going there? If so, better grab your tickets soon! Uno Tha Prodigy had this to say about the pending tour:

“

Lancaster, CA!!!

We’re gonna be at @bigshotzbg August 26th. I’m very excited about this one right here! Not only do I get to perform with my boys DL Down3r, @crippledthegoat, @cordelldrakemusic, and @rollstonewayz, but I also get to perform with my brothers sky.line09 as well! It’s going to be a dope night with some real dope vibes from Hip Hop to Rock/Rap and more! The homies and I can’t wait to rock with y’all!!!”

If this event is anything like the last one where the crew got together, we’re sure it’s gonna blow the roof off Cali! Can’t wait to see you there! But what about those readers who haven’t heard about these talented rollers and what they do?

We’ve talked a big game about a few of these artists in particular in the past, and a refresher course might be just the thing you need if you’re indecisive about buying tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Down3r and Uno Tha Prodigy have rocked many awesome and emotional singles together before, and the recent UNDEFEATED with Cordell Drake and Stone P is absolutely killer. We know T. Davis from his collaboration with DL Down3r and Lokust Luciano, that being the mellow track High On You, and of course Lokust Luciano has been turning heads his way with his latest releases all over the shop.

Lokust Luciano was born William Arciszewski on June 21st, 1988 as a premature baby, and diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. He grew up in North Fort Myers and began writing poetry at the tender age of 9 years old. He is the first rapper with Cerebral Palsy, and has been active in multiple facets of the Hip-Hop scene since 1998. He moved to Florida for leg surgery when he was very young, as the medical world at the time (1988) didn’t have a solid understanding of Cerebral Palsy yet, so he had to seek out an expert specialist. Orlando was the only place he could go for it, and he came out on the other side grinning. He is well known in the underground music scene for his production talent and lyrical delivery. He is also sometimes known by the handle “Crippled Kingpin”.

The adversities he has overcome are now a part of his personal aesthetic, showing his strength and sturdy sense of humour. His creative drive is unstoppable, and we’re sure you’ll agree when you see some of the hits from his catalogue that have been turning heads his way! We’ll see you there, and until next time, do what we’re planning to do… keep your ear to the ground for some spicy new releases from the Kingpin himself!

For more, check out Lokust’s bio here!

And of course there’s DL Down3r, the namesake behind the “Suga Boom Boom” part of the tour. Through fierce and funky west coast rap, DL Down3r shares his prolific work with the rest of the world, and the stage with west coast rap legends such as Coolio, Brown Boy, Jay Tablet, Lil Young, Snoopyblue, LadyDice, Baby Bash, Steel City Hustlers, King Z and DJ Kane to name a few.

From powerful messages, lyrical poetry and sharp comments on society, to G-funk and Trap/EDM hype songs, he proves that age and experience is the opposite of a liability in today’s rap game. Blast it loud, get ready to feel something, and rest assured knowing that hip hop never died! For evidence of that, just be there on August 26th and be ready for Lancaster to get a wakeup call like it’s never had before!

OVER 40 MILLION! Suga Boom Boom is captivating the world of Spotify!

Post date 7 July 2022

How long ago was it that we reported that Suga Boom Boom had hit over 30 million plays on Spotify? It was only around this time last year, more or less. But here’s an exciting new followup to that story: ALREADY the track is over 40 million plays now! Over 10 million plays being gained in just a year?! That’s insane, especially considering that Suga Boom Boom isn’t exactly a new song at this stage! If you wanted to check it out, see the Spotify embeds down below!

DL’s worked hard for this level of progress, and if you’ve ever heard Suga Boom Boom, you’d see that effort shining clearly through the mesmerising hooks and beats of the timeless banger. It’s been creeping up the charts for years, and various versions have seen great success on other platforms that even rival 40 million, and the versions of this classic track are numerous! We’ve had acapellas, remixes, retellings, and all sorts of different spins on the classic formula, including by DL Down3r himself trying new styles out! And don’t think for a moment that Down3r hasn’t branched out past his flagship song. From cocky bangers talking smack like “No L’s” to introspective sad pieces like “Long Road Ahead”, Down3r has proven many times over that he’s the king, and that whatever he attempts, he does with the utmost care and love that will bring each of his hits to success, no matter what form they take! Be sure to check out some of his awesome vids down below!

We’ve reflected before on this awesome range that DL has, and on the many ways that his most famous earworm can manifest. Suga Boom Boom is timeless, it transcends even the huge number of plays it’s received on Spotify, earning its status of what some people might call a “war song”. Just think: over 40 million on just Spotify ALONE! And it’s not like other platforms’ playcounts are slouchy numbers either! Because of that, we like to take the time to look back on it whenever a milestone like this is reached. Congrats to DL Down3r for accomplishing all of this: we greatly look forward to 50 million next year!

Through fierce and funky west coast rap, Down3r shares his prolific work with the rest of the world, and the stage with west coast rap legends such as Coolio, Brown Boy, Jay Tablet, Lil Young, Snoopyblue, Baby Bash, Steel City Hustlers, King Z and DJ Kane to name a few. From powerful messages, lyrical poetry and sharp comments on society, to G-funk and Trap/EDM hype songs, he proves that age and experience is the opposite of a liability in today’s rap game. Suga Boom Boom is the flagship song of his talented repertoire! It’s out on all major online retailers and streaming services, so get ready to buy a new pair of speakers!

Kay L is rocking the internet with interviews and high view counts!

Post date 20 June 2022

Kay L and Stephen Voyce are a duo that are becoming ever-more well-known as time marches on. Last time we covered them, we had a look at their new single Dirt On My Name, a deep-cutting slapper that tells it like it is, and shows fierce independence in the face of a rigged system. Since that story dropped, we’re happy to announce that the official lyrics video has been going crazy, amassing several hundred thousand views in just a few short weeks! You can check that out down below.

Not only that, but Kay L is seeing some media spotlights right on him! He’s been featured for an interview by I’m Here With Magazine, and it seems that life couldn’t be sweeter for him.

You can also check out the interview itself by clicking here: bit.ly/39yHpJn

Here’s a sample of some of Kay L’s wise words from the article!

“I’m never satisfied with where I am, I always feel like there’s more we can do and more work to be done to achieve our goals. By the time we knock down a goal that we set out to achieve, we already have five new goals that we are working on, so it’s a life-long journey.

I believe in trying to do something that gets me closer to my dreams daily, whether it’s writing music, hosting an event, leading a protest or performing in an arena, I think it’s important so stay focused and work towards your dreams and goals daily. Part of that is to ‘enterprise while you socialize’, which basically means to keep expanding and promoting your brand while partying, while out with your friends, while meeting other people, so you are constantly building.

The universe has given me a voice, and an opportunity to create change through the greatest art form in the world, which is music. I don’t take any of it for granted.”

These are the words and ambitions of a visionary with the drive to back his big dreams up. And as you can see from the quality of Dirt On My Name, Kay L is a living example of that.

But what’s the scoop on Dirt On My Name? It’s a track with a potent message. The higher you stand above the rest, the easier it is for jealous people to put a target on your back. That sentiment can apply to petty drama and haters, but it can also apply to systemic oppression. That’s what this track is all about. If they think they can get away with it, people will drag your name through the mud if you have what they want. Dirt On My Name goes hard and spits based truths while keeping the instrumental and flow smooth. There’s some anger in here, but also some genuine sadness over having to deal with prejudice, something that is sure to be relatable to anyone who has experienced the social issues that this song is commenting on.

And who is the artist behind this incredible release? After being acclaimed as the #1 opening act in Canada, Juno nominated artist Kay L has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down. He’s probably most known for his work with the group District 5, and his clever lyricism and intoxicating choruses. He has toured with the likes of: NAS, SNOOP DOGG, AKON, RIHANNA, FLO-RIDA, THE GAME, REDMAN & METHODMAN, ASHANTI, GINUWINE, SEAN KINGSTON, OBIE TRICE, MARIO, FABOLOUS, PITBULL, BOYZ II MEN, EVE, D12, JOE BUDDEN and many more! Kay L has also been able to extend his talents far beyond his stomping grounds to countries such as Jamaica, where he toured with “Drum n DJ”, a group whom he has experienced much radio success with. He’s established a sound that is nothing short of unique… So add him to your playlist and get ready to feel every high and low that his array of emotional tracks have in store for you, just like the anger and passion behind Dirt On My Name! You won’t regret the many different journeys ahead, as long as he’s with ya. We reckon that this is one of many interviews that are still to come!

So if you love Kay L just as much as us, and wanna keep your ear to the ground on any new releases from him, we have just the social media accounts and Spotify lists for you to turn to. Watch this space, because with how much he loves doing what he does, this definitely won’t be the last we hear of him!

We’ll see you next time Kay L brings out another brilliant release like this one.

LadyDice is bringing some Suga Boom Boom magic to TikTok and a new single to your ears!

Post date 16 June 2022

We got some spicy vids for you from the one and only LadyDice today, some old, some new, all of them from her excellent TikTok profile! Check it out here if you wanna have a browse: www.tiktok.com/@ladydice1790

Her top three most viewed videos are pretty indicative of her general style of content, style of music, and what people love to see from her and DL Down3r! For example, this throwback to the Gypsy Tattoo Parlour Suga Boom Boom video that got things rolling. You’ve probably seen the original… some people might not know that the woman in the vid is LadyDice, so she decided to put those doubts to rest herself with this one!

@ladydice1790 #duet with @baby__hick when people ask me why I look so familiar 😉 #sugaboomboom #chasingdragons #dldown3r #ladydice #foreverviral #fypシ゚viral ♬ original sound – Tik Toker

TikTok as a celeb is also all about interacting with your fans. LadyDice is no different, with her posting a duet reaction to this talented cover of Suga Boom Boom. But it’s not just any cover… it’s singing Suga Boom Boom WHILE beatboxing simultaneously, before breaking it down in the sickest way possible! You’re sure to remember this guy. Check out his TikTok featured in LD’s video description!

@ladydice1790 #duet with @tealemonofficial Go offf then!!! ❤ #sugaboomboom #dldown3r #ladydice #beatboxcover #fypシ #foryoupage ♬ original sound – Tealemon

And of course, as we covered just yesterday, there’s now a brand new Suga Boom Boom FILTER for TikTok! Show your support like LD is doing here in your own TikToks! As she says, it’s so dope that Suga Boom Boom has come all this way to the point that there’s now an inbuilt SBB filter in TikTok itself! And of course, Dice is shouting out Down3r in the description of this TikTok if you want to check out his account. We’ve covered it plenty of times and it’s well worth the visit!

@ladydice1790 Suga Boom Boom Filter?!💥💥 Shout out to @therealsugaboomboom for writing this song! #sugaboomboom #fyp #loveitorhateit #makesnodifference #fypシ ♬ Suga Boom Boom – DL Down3r

LadyDice is keeping her TikTok updated with some other stuff too, including looks into her personal life and casual performances offstage. If you want to see more of what she’s got, nothing is stopping you from following her and DL Down3r’s TikToks to watch the good times keep on rolling! We know that’s what we’re gonna do…

But there’s more than just TikTok that we’re covering today… LadyDice released a single not too long ago! Introducing Red Flag! Check it out down below in the Spotify players!

This track resembles the musical style of her previous release Think About It, but with a powerful new edge to it. Starting Dice’s 2022 catalogue with a bang, Red Flag is a feisty track that is proud to represent independence and hold nothing back. It demands that the listener hear LD’s emotions and story, and asks you if you’ve dealt with similar mistreatment. It demands you to ask yourself if you’re worth what you’re being put through… and if you’re not being treated EXACTLY as good as what you deserve, to take a hike and treat yourself with the love and care that you ought to have. That’s the perfect approach to a red flag, and seeing it put so eloquently is extremely satisfying. We’re sure it’ll help some listener out there find their way to the happiness that they deserve, fiercely defying those who hold them back until they’re exactly where they ought to be. You go, LadyDice. This is a track that’s a perfect introduction to what you’re all about.

But in case readers out there aren’t aware, let’s go over who LadyDice is now!

The internet’s eyes got fully fixed on her when her vocals in the Suga Boom Boom acapella performance with DL Down3r in the Gypsy Tattoo Parlour went viral! If you wanna see why, check out the videos below!

Originally, LadyDice did not see herself as someone likely to move into hiphop music, and she preferred classic metal soundtracks. However, upon branching out, her style was refined and she decided that this life was for her.

While LadyDice is the musical persona of Ashley Dice, there is enough symbolic meaning within what LadyDice represents to consider her almost a separate entity. To Ashley Dice, LadyDice is an idea, a representation of the rejection of conformism and society’s preconceived notions.LadyDice represents those who repress their true selves, encouraging them to step out and take off the mask, being who they are no matter what the world thinks of them.

LadyDice’s career is going strong and shows no signs of slowing down! To get acquainted with this standout personality, all you need to is watch the interview we’ve posted, along with her links below!

We’ll cover more on her TikTok and the specific details therein soon! But for now, check it out here: www.tiktok.com/@ladydice1790

If DL Down3r wasn’t a household name before, he certainly is now, although we reckon he’s definitely been a huge juggernaut for a while now!

So until the next monolithic movement involving Down3r, we’ll see you in these viral trends, vibing to excellent music and loving the ever-growing culture surrounding this hip hop artist visionary.
