Justin Love Drops New Single: Bad Mind

Justin Love Drops New Single: Bad Mind

Justin Love has today unveiled a new song, Bad Mind, a moody R&B track and his second release of 2019. Bad Mind revolves around Love’s sensual vocals, channeling his affection and reflective attitude with sweet melodies over the dark and hazy production. The single takes an intuitive approach to ‘Bad Minds’ discussing a past relationship, and the tumultuous state he’s experienced through their endeavors. Never one to bite his tongue when it comes to expressing his feelings on wax, Love creates a sensible composition that fully embraces his vulnerability.

“My love wasn’t enough, so she decided to search for love elsewhere. She rather the night life.” – remarks Justin Love about Bad Mind

Justin Love was born and raised in New Jersey; with Puerto Rican, Cuban and Chinese roots. Having picked up a local buzz in his hometown, where he honed his performance skills by singing to onlookers at his local mall, Love has developed a rabid following since his early busking days as an adolescent. Love has since earned a Grammy nomination for a songwriting credit on H.E.R.’s smash hit Focus and has amassed millions of streams as an artist in his own right. He’s been lauded by industry heavyweights like Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys and Jermaine Dupri, propelling Love into the top tier of emerging artists to watch in 2019.

Bad Mind is one of a string of singles that Love plans to release over the coming months, gearing up for a big year ahead. Check out the music video for his previous single – Runaway.

Bad Mind was produced by Source (who has also produced for Fetty Wap, NBA Youngboy, Kirko Bangz among others).

Alex Martian Drops Classics Leading up to His New Project in 2019

Alex Martian Drops Classics Leading up to His New Project in 2019

New York based up and coming producer Alex Martian has really been creating a place for himself amongst new wave electronic music listeners. With a style as complex yet vivid as the artwork he creates for each release, there is no shortage of awe in listening to his discography. It’s quite difficult to put a label on his sound though it incorporates a lot of jazzy chords, break rhythms, and sweeping synths. Having produced for just over 4 years, his musical variance and sound design is recognizably on par with names that have inspired him such as Sam Gellaitry, Monte Booker, and Gorillaz. Each Alex Martian track sounds like an autumn forest, filled with multitudes of complementary colors.

Leading up to a project drop in later 2019, Alex has released with labels like Future Vibes and Bonsai Collective as well as his remix of Ellzo’s “Spiral”. We’re stoked to see what the future holds for this young producer and to hear new Martian in the coming year.

Banx & Ranx Drop New Single “Speaker” With Olivia Holt & ZieZie

Banx & Ranx Drop New Single “Speaker” With Olivia Holt & ZieZie

April 5, 2019 (Los Angeles, CA) — Montreal production duo Banx & Ranx has dropped a fresh new early summer anthem “Speaker,” the follow up to their U.K. platinum-selling hit “Answerphone.” “Speaker” features LA-based singer/actress Olivia Holt, known for her starring role on Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger, and fast-rising UK rapper ZieZie. Showcasing a high octane explosion of African grooves, electro-pop energy, and island rhythms, “Speaker” serves as a melting pot of genres crafted by the pair, who are widely acknowledged as pioneers of the ECM (Electro Caribbean Music) movement.

The release of “Speaker” follows the duo’s massive 2018 success “Answerphone,” a U.K. platinum-certified collaboration alongside London-born singer/songwriter Ella Eyre and rapper Yxng Bane which hit the Top 5 in the UK singles chart. Since their 2017 release “LIT,” the pair have also arranged official remixes for the likes of Gorillaz, J Balvin, Jess Glynne, Khalid, Little Mix, Martin Garrix, Sean Paul, and David Guetta. Not stopping there, the duo also worked on tracks for the likes of Dua Lipa, Jonas Blue, and Olly Murs, and co-wrote and produced Nicky Jam’s “No Te Puedo Olvidar” on the “Fenix” album, which was later nominated for the prestigious ‘Album of the Year’ accolade at the Latin Grammy Awards.

Amassing over 200 million streams in their career to date, Banx & Ranx continue their meteoric rise with their unique sound of summer.

Sprig: A Refreshing Take on Drinkable CBD & THC

Sprig: A Refreshing Take on Drinkable CBD & THC


Sprig Soda is a new crisp and refreshing take on marijuana consumption. With only a few natural ingredients, the carbonated drink is infused with premium THC extract and has easily become one of my favorite methods of recreational cannabis use. At 10mg of THC per can, each sip is like a journey. That’s not to say this soda doesn’t keep its medical users in mind as well! Their sparkling CBD tea is calming and rejuvenating as well as being made up of a small list of simple ingredients that are easily digestible for those with chronic issues. No matter the drink, Sprig provides a dosage that’s easily managed and even more easily enjoyed.

Sprig pales a majority of other edible methods in comparison. Not only does it taste citrusy and sharp, but it’s also relatively healthy and quick to kick in. It’s the only marijuana infused drink that I’ve yet to taste the extract hidden behind the sugars. This may result from their blending of the CO2 extracted oils with natural flavors and pure cane sugar. I’ve got much love for this simple yet intricate can and hope to see Sprig expand their line of amazing products in the future.

Check out their line of CBD infused Sprig products here and keep on the lookout for their THC infused drinks in dispensaries across California!
