DEFINITION OF FRESH

Originally recorded for Sojourn 's The Dark Room ( Illect Recordings, Nov. '20 ), "Mirror Monologues" gets a 2022 re-make featuring Canadian producer's, Newselph , official stamp. A completely introspective vibe—hence, "mirror" ,—this new take on the track provides a more jazzhop-style groove, matching perfectly with Sojourn 's flow and intended vibe. Like the original, you still get the sense that the emcee is literally looking at himself in the mirror as the stream of consciousness flows forth. Mirror Monologues (Remix) by Sojourn & Newselph

Following up the successful "Eyes Across the Room" release, DIE-REK closes out the year on the strength of "Get Nervous" —a new single including peer emcees Sareem Poems ( LA Symphony ), Sojourn , and Griffin . The golden-era beats on the track are so hype, the classic hi-top Reeboks will instantly seem to appear on your feet as you suddenly find yourself magically at center court. The rap-tandem's boasting on the track is an energetic boost, giving way to a truly great listening experience. Get Nervous by DIE-REK

Somehow we've made it to the middle of what has been a tumultuous 2020 thus far. A much needed pep talk has arrived in the form of the brand new single from Sivion , Dre Murray and Sojourn reminding us that things will get better. Over lush and smooth synthy grooves, all three rhyme writers tell personal tales of the struggles they've faced yet they lace the diction with hope and optimism. Singer Ryann Darling provides the perfect pastiche for the verses with luxuriant vibes which turn the prevailing chaos into ultimate clarity.

After a 2-year hiatus Illect Recordings producer, Sundance , is back with a powerful, jazzy new single some are already calling an instant classic, which nods the head while speaking passionately about the cycles of racial relations in America. "We just collectively wanted to sit down and make something that we could all be proud of that would stand the test of time. There are a lot of conversations going on right now, and this is our contribution to that conversation. Like Sojourn said 'Some cycles need to be broken'" . Cycles features veteran MC's Sojourn ( Future Shock ), Cardiac P ( Boombox Titans ), and Ozay Moore ( Lightheaded ); while the hook introduces us to Sundance 's 11-year old daughter, Ocean Jade (whose face we see featured on the cover). The backing band is formidable as well, with the mighty Stro Elliot on drums, Sundance 's father, Ron Gollner on Upright Bass, Chris St. George on Electric Bass, Deepspace5 's Sivion o...

Illect Recordings is excited to announce the first new addition to their growing artist roster, Sojourn . Sojourn kills emcees...yet this vet is much more than a battle rapper.  After cutting his teeth in the mid-90's as a member of California crews Tunnel Rats and Future Shock , Sojourn has spit, beatboxed and drummed alongside living legends and successful artists like Ras Kass , Myka 9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Braille (Beautiful Eulogy) and Theory Hazit . His career has seen him win major San Diego battles, "The Breakthrough" and "Sunday Service" , and release multiple albums, including his solo debut Sojournalism: The Summer Articles .  From age 5 till now, Sojourn is constantly evolving, in music and life.  In 2015, we benefit from that growth.  Look for Sojourn 's beat tape Tabula Rasa , the Art Therapy EP and his sophomore solo album, The Talking Drum . ...

Just in time for the holidays, rap veterans Sivion , Sareem Poems , Kinetik and Sojourn spit some bars over the Imperial -produced beat for "12 Bars of Christmas" . ***Thanks to Illect Recordings for sending****
