Contemporary Hip Hop artist Tre-Dot shares his release "Like That" , whih kicks off soulfully with food for thought. Tre-Dot takes listeners through a timeline of his life from walking to stores, a fear to rhyme, school, block parties, dressing fresh, bball courts, and more. The record opens eyes and ears to the essence of Hip Hop culture. Refreshing, vintage arrangements resonate throughout provided by DJ Tekwun .

In “Lonely Road” Tre-Dot chronicles the weight of losing loved ones, the silence left behind, and undocumented memories. The record allows for pain to transcend into remembrance. Although grief leads the way, we can hold onto laughs, cherished moments, and the echoes of words and conversations. Skii Sharp provides an emotive, smooth backdrop. Lonely Road by Tre-Dot

"Make Me Stay" by Carlitta Durand is out now on all platforms via #FEMusic . This 6 song EP, fully produced by Anikan and Vader , takes you on a journey of two people who quickly find love but realize the distance is stronger than the connection.

“Only You” flows with a captivating blend of 70’s soul and a vintage Hip Hop flow (without sounding dated). Tre-Dot leaves a lasting impression for listeners to decipher if only you refers to love, life, music, etc. Whatever that you is, it will get you through pain, will cover you from the rain, and will be your warmth in the cold. An emotive lyrical performance is both embracing and gripping. Stream the single and enjoy!!!
