Anton Pax is a melancholic and versatile hip hop artist/songwriter from San Diego. Strangely, he despised music growing up, and it wasn’t until he fell victim to the metal health issues that plague far too many teenagers today, that he began to appreciate its value. Anton found himself alone in a world where his only outlets seemed to lie in artists like Kid Cudi, NF and Twenty One Pilots.

Seeing and experiencing first hand the power and impact music can have on a person’s life, he began to visualize a career where he utilized that influence to help others. He started to record his own songs at the age of 18, where he expressed his darkest inner thoughts onto the mic. 2 years later, he is still as passionate as ever, striving to make a difference with his music. He know’s he has much to learn, but he shows great potential and has the drive to realize it.

His new tune, “NAIVE” is currently streaming on Soundcloud. When asked about the release, Anton Pax had this to say.

“Naive” Is a song I wrote as I unravelled the dilemmas I struggled with in the past, particularly with women. I recollected on how toxic the relationships I was in were, and how desperate I was to be validated by anyone. The chorus of the song essentially describes a scenario I found myself in, where a girl threatens self harm as a means for attention and manipulation. I go into further detail explaining how broken I felt saying “no repairing me.” The lyrics touch upon a few different people I’ve known in my life and parts of it are even directed at myself.

All my life I’ve been my own worst enemy and gotten in the way of myself. As I continued to write and examine my past, I couldn’t help but realize how naive I was through it all. That of course inspired the title and I think offers a valuable lesson. Sometimes we’re so enveloped in our emotions, the truth doesn’t seem obvious until it’s far too late. For that reason, I close the song with the outro stating “does it matter at all? will you be there when I fall? or will it all be my fault? too many faces are false, I know.” Here, I’m trying to convey that “false faces,” or enticing paths are everywhere, and while they may seem right in the moment, it’s important to really examine what we’re getting ourselves into.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
