"CØMPLIMENTS EP" on Spotify
[Download /// Stream]




Jason Ivy is an up-and-coming, unsigned musical artist based in Chicago, whose freshman EP project, CØMPLIMENTS (released 2/09/19), has earned over 300,000 streams on Spotify and Soundcloud, as well as Top 10 R&B album placements on both amazon and iTunes. Ivy has been a self-starter and entrepreneur in the Chicago music scene for the last two years since returning home from college at the University of Pennsylvania where he studied Neuroscience and Linguistics.

Each icon represents one of the six songs from the project. In order, they are: Hate (the spiteful message and angered posture of the astronaut), Foreign (the astronaut itself), Higher (the rocket), Chlorophyll (the sunflowers), Ivy (the ivy leaves), and Pyre (the woman with the burning heart).

The concept behind both the EP and the cover art is that these are all separate concepts that function as a whole, all mostly contained within this jar. Each of the songs addresses the state of the jar — being emotionally empty or filled — which doubles as a graphic metaphor for the state of the narrator’s own emotions.

Far from just your favorite local emcee, Milwaukee resident Taiyamo Denku has toured the nation repeatedly. Doing so has garnered himself a core fan base and a commanding stage presence. Having easily released over 100 songs with a long list of Hip Hop's most esteemed players, Denku is the true definition of a die-hard emcee. For his latest drop, he provides an official video for "Smackdown". Found on 2016's EP, "If I Did An Album With Nick Wiz", the Cypha Den Music CEO looks to CTM Films to capture him spilling bars on the back streets of his Milwaukee stomping grounds. While on tour, "Smackdown" had a great response rate from show goers. So after some deliberating and upcoming shows booked, Taiyamo felt the need to bring this previous release to the video lens in a crisp and colorful way. The video is provided below, courtesy of YouTube.
Producer BigBob provides the piano laced audio backdrop to "It's A Wrap", the explosive video from New York's own Maid featuring BCC alum, Ruste Juxx. It's a soundtrack to Maid's life which finds the barbarian handling hook duties in a lively melodic manner. A deeper meaning lies under the layers that speak about life as a black man in the Rotten Apple and the grim circumstances faced in the city that never sleeps. Ls are sparked by the emcees to help alleviate the mental pain of surviving grim street run-ins and other tight situations. With stories such as these, they became war scars of tried and true men. Watch "It's A Wrap" on YouTube below.
You can find "It's A Wrap" on Maid's upcoming album titled "Third Eye Power" slated to drop on May 29th via Elite Sound International. Pre-order the project on iTunes and/or pre-save on Spotify.
