City James Releases New Single “If I Die” FT G Yamazawa @baselineave @gyamazawa
Rising LA rapper and lyricist City James delivers poignant new single “If I Die”, featuring fellow rapper G Yamazawa. The bass-heavy track is the first single off of his forthcoming EP, ‘More Of The Same’, set to release Sept 11th, which will serve as an insight into the Black plight and gives just a glimpse into the various emotions POC may feel in the wake of death and oppression.
Politically driven, City James speaks of the racial injustices that plague the world and what it takes to face them daily. The song samples the famous prayer: “If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take.”
“”If I Die” gives a glimpse of what hip hop looks like and means for us.
We’re entering an important time in history where society is recognizing the inequality that we have been living for hundreds of years.” – City James
Carrying the torch as a true lyricist and MC is Inland Empire’s City James who’s here to prove to the world that he’s ready to break down any barriers that stand in his way. Poetically inclined at a young age, City James has developed a special ability to articulate his thoughts and emotions from an outside vantage point of his own life. The perspective of City James gives a rather cinematic view of his world as a father, dreamer and visionary, stuck trying to break through the harsh reality that life actually offers. What we do find out through both his metaphorical depictions and real-life situations is that there is always a light at the end of it all. A true author of his own kind, City’s talents are rooted much deeper than just music; he is an open book for everyone to learn and grow from.

HIVEMIND RELEASES NEW SINGLE “LIL JAM”
New York-based group Hivemind releases their second single “Lil Jam” following their debut release track “Got Options!” The collective is made of three, Noct, the mixing wizard, producer, and frontman for the group, Crash, one of the frontmen and creative consultant and Ex Creator, the traveling artist and producer who takes in world experiences for the group’s music. Inspired by local artists in New York, it is very important to showcase the importance of being creative and authentic to your true self. Listen here:
Hivemind on their newest single:
“Lil jam is about anyone who’s been down on their luck but won’t let it defeat them. Knowing that life comes with ups and downs and it’s all about how you decide to jig to the “Lil jams”
Through their storytelling and unique visuals, Hivemind has been able to control its narrative and build as organically as it possibly can. They describe their music as “very expressive” and symbolic of their brotherhood — how they make them look like regular guys but underneath, there’s a lot of genuine creativity that captivates artists whenever they step into The Basement.
