Champ Green + Dj Twelvz " Jackie Robinson

The Grand Nationxl MC and Oakland staple DJ Twelvz push the new visuals and the 3rd Single from their brand new album "Pleasantly plump 2" out now.

ASTU - Source of Her (Video)

Oakland based artist ASTU returns with her Debut album "Altars", the follow up to her 2018 EP "Patterns". The first visual from the project is "Source of Her", produced by frequent collaborators Tofu Jack and Daoud. "Source of Her" is a prime example of ASTU's range and desire to explore different soundscapes and frequencies. The span from "Patterns" to "Altars" reflects an artist becoming more comfortable with her voice and utilizing it in many different scenarios. There's no way you could pigeon hole ASTU into any genre due to her vocal performances. Check out ASTU's "Altars", available on all platforms.
