“Husoul” is a song that refuses to sit in the background and be ignored. Substantive, gripping bars cover nearly every second of the track. CyphTwo’s loosely structured but deeply hypnotic flows weave each portion of the song into the following section seamlessly. It’s a lyrical performance that makes you want to restart to the song again immediately after it ends, with each new listen bringing a newfound appreciation for CyphTwo’s pen.

Why We Like It: Kainalu’s “Out of Touch”
Written, sung, produced, and exceptionally mixed by Kainalu himself, this song is an insanely catchy groove with equally potent head-highs and body-highs. The lyrics and hushed but bright falsetto vocals stick in your head like gorilla glue, and the bass line… Oh that bass line.
Why We Like It: Sondrey’s “Into The Night”
There may be moments where “Into The Night” feels familiar, but the sheer excellence of the execution – the pen game, the ear for melody, the earnest commitment to the premise – puts the track head and shoulders above its peers.

Why We Like It: Becca James’ “Control”
“Control” is an experience that captivates, one that leaves you savoring tastes of catharsis while spiralling back to the Earth at its end. I can imagine no better way for Becca James to begin her career.
Why We Like It: Alden Groves’ “Crazy”
This is an ambitious concept for a song, one that could very easily fall apart if the execution is even slightly lacking. Fortunately for us (and Alden) he successfully threaded the needle.
Why We Like It: Yury’s “have to.”
Yury wields good vocal layering and different deliveries throughout the track, but ultimately what makes this song special is the beat he crafted and mixed, and how perfectly his sparse vocals complement it.
Why We Like It: Broken Pen’s “It’s Like That”
Pen and Siimba’s deliveries provide contrast and personality to an enchanting soundscape that hinges on the recurring vocal sample from Mia Gladstone. After several listens, there’s just something about this song that pulls you back into it.
