Haile Supreme & Statik Selektah [2023] - TNT [Showoff Records]

After touring the world with different artists over the last ten years and lending his voice to artists such as Nas and Lil Wayne and others, Brooklyn's (NYC) Haile Supreme embarked on a solo career in 2019. He released three single before his debut EP "Ear Tones".

He states that his music is a "blending of mystical blues, intergalactic jazz and the rub-a-dub spirit of roots reggae".

His latest single "TNT" (released today 12 May '23) is a collaboration with hip-hop DJ/producer Statik Selektah (aka Patrick Baril from Lawrence, MA).

The song samples a track "Together" by New York City Band which was featured (on a 2007 French CD reissue only) of their 1979 self-titled album that we have included below for interest. Luther Vandross featured on backing vocals on the album.

Gia Gray [2023] - TOP SHOTTA [Self Released]

Gia Gray is a singer/songwriter from West London who has been around since 2017. She released her latest single "TOP SHOTTA" on 12 May '23 which has an island vibe.

Not sure what a top shotta is but apparently shotta is Jamaican slang for an armed gangster, but I don't think that's what she's referring to?

Ruby Lewin-Clarke [2023] - Blue Moon Baby [twotwentytwo] (Full EP)

A new three track EP "Blue Moon Baby" from Ruby Lewin-Clarke which 'appears' to be her debut release. From her accent we would guess that she is from UK/London and would be surprised if this is a debut release as it is self-written and sounds accomplished and self-assured. However, we are unable to find any information about her and not much is given away on her Instagram.

All tracks are good with "Water" edging it over "Calm My Soul" for us.
