DEFINITION OF FRESH

Rel McCoy shares his lyric video for the single "Tuff Love" , song about the version of love that doesn't rescue you, it just refuses to let go. It's about chasing something you couldn't reach, faking a sunny disposition through a rough season, and coming out the other side still holding onto faith even when it doesn't make sense on paper. This one's for anybody who's ever felt like heaven was quiet on purpose.

 "How To Quit?" is Rel McCoy 's tongue-in-cheek poke at my own vice as a long time off-and-on smoker.  Woke up in the middle of the night and he had a couple bars in his head.. made this beat on the MPC2000 and kinda just ran with it. Take it how you will.

All the songs were created in the Australian iheartsongwritingclub.com community, which Gitika has been virtually a part of for over 5 years.  Here’s all thirteen ‘Twelvefold’ project albums on Gitika ’s Bandcamp page- https://3bucketjones.bandcamp.com/   And, also on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/52cgGhdqlSirgPqSwi8Y09?si=iElg8GIiTh2iwoZ0IrHPhw

Blak-Ram drops more heat with a legendary feature on an emotional track called Heartbreak about loss, legacy, self determination, resistance, resilience, martyrdom, rebuilding and the painful healing process from the heartbreak that the Sudanese people have endured.

Rakim blesses the track with his same verse from "Now is the Time" from the G.O.D's network: Reb7rth , but this time incorporated into a different theme of legacy and posthumous power.

Halfcut , the ferocious Calgary emcee known for his razor-sharp delivery, teams up once again with his longtime collaborator and sonic architect Cole The God to release their new single, “Cocaine & Vodka” .

The title “Cocaine & Vodka” isn’t just provocative—it symbolizes the duality of self-destruction and escape, all wrapped in poetic realism. The single can be found on their new album "The Relentless Two" available now on all streaming platforms!
