KAI WAY – Proud
Kai-Way’s debut EP, Kai-Way 99 is a voyage through his on-going evolution as an artist. Together, the tracks chronicle his move from New York City to Atlanta and the people he has met and music he heard along the way. Produced by long-time collaborator Danny “Dopeness” Ambrose, the EP is an effortless blend of styles, with songs that mingle all colors of rap, hip-hop and R&B with pop, rock and even West African music. Kai-Way 99 celebrates the exhilarating road trip of life and everything that feels good: partying; love; success and the connective power of music.
Kai-Way was raised in Staten Island, in the heart of New York City’s legendary rap and hip-hop culture. He started experimenting with rhythms and rhymes in elementary school and continued to perfect his skills throughout his teen years, dropping freestyles every chance he got and collaborating on melodies, rhythms and lyrics with other young artists in his tight-knit community. Kai-Way drew inspiration from hometown artists like Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G. and epic storytellers like 2Pac, 50 Cent and Nas, but felt very connected to the melodically-driven sound of Akon. Moved by rhythm and deep grooves, he also took up the drums, focusing in on the primal feel of the bongos as a way to enrich his sound. By the time he was 13, Kai-Way was already in the studio lending his distinctive voice to other artist’s tracks. His first professional release was “It’s Been Too Long,” a track he was asked to rap on by Juicy, a female rapper from his neighborhood. From that moment on, he committed to becoming a professional artist.
Always up for a fresh challenge, Kai-Way continues to push the boundaries of his work and expand his abilities as a songwriter, constantly creating fresh music that illustrates his reality. His first single off Kai-Way 99, “Rocket” is coming soon.
Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess. In the brand new single, produced by FLEXONTHEBEAT, TyMaz, and Marshak, Dugg calls out those who try to ride his wave without putting in the work, cementing his stance in the rap game. The release is accompanied by an official music video directed by Counter Point, where Dugg and his crew dominate the streets and clubs of Detroit, visually reinforcing his message of loyalty and resilience. Dugg raps in the hard-hitting track:
All of sudden they wanna win wit us / But ain’t spin with us.
Dugg previously teased this new era of his music with a trailer featuring Hill Harper, further building anticipation among his fans. “Win Wit Us” follows a series of recent hits including Wock N Red, SpinDatBac, and Go Again. Earlier this year, Dugg made a triumphant return to the stage with a sold-out “Welcome Home” show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena, featuring appearances by superstars like Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, and more. Notably, the event saw Dugg unite Detroit’s rival hip-hop factions, Doughboyz Cashout and Team Eastside, in a historic move to end the city’s East-West beef. Fans can expect even more groundbreaking music from Dugg as he gears up for his upcoming album. Don’t miss out on the latest single available for streaming here and watch the music video below.
