Listen: Cleavage - @darrylj_ & @darksidevie

Cleavage is out everywhere you can listen to music. This is the union of Vie (formerly known as Alvie the Skywalker) Darryl J, and Mello Mark.

The EP takes us on a quick 15 minute trip with frequent collaborators in Shehdaat and Karma. We also get some features from Linton, Greg Rivers and Savvy the Savior. The first track, The Moment, is one of the highlights of this project. While minimalist in production and lyrics it does just enough. That's how I've always felt about romantic love which is a major theme of this EP. Vie and Darryl describe this project as "the full display of their growth as artists and as men." I'd concur after listening. You should too. Press play after the break.

Watch: NO CONDITIONS - @Alvie_Skywalker X @MTRSPRT_ (shot by @HomemadeFilms)

Alvie the Skywalker has had a pretty busy 2020. Especially in the past couple months between Alvie the artist AND Alvie the producer.

The latest from him is a video for HIS single, NO CONDITIONS produced by MTRSPRT. About a month back or so Alvie and MTRSPRT dropped a collaboration EP, THE DANCE where this is a bonus track for the project. To this point, my favorite track was STICK THE LANDING. This video was shot by Homemade Films. There we see Alvie recalling the end of a relationship in a lower baritone vibration. Feel This.

Listen: Let Me - @darrylj_tr (prod. by @Alvie_Skywalker)

 (Semi) New to the WTM Radar is Darryl J

To this point, I think I've only seen him doing features and singing background for artists like Kärma, Soulfull, Alvie The Skywalker, and Malc. So to hear this new single, Let Me, is a breath of fresh air. For those of you that don't know, press play. Darryl floats on this Alvie produced beat and really flexes his range with a dope falsetto. Last I spoke to him, he told me he's got a lot in the vault we should look out for. Listen to his latest track, Let Me below.

#TGMInvadesNY Recap - @ThaGreyMatter: An experience by @RamseySaidWHAT


"When I talk it's through my art and that's to my peers. Because that Kärma can turn into a Crysis like a scene outta Shakespeare, damn this black art boutta take over the whole damn atmosphere!"

Until going to one of Tha Grey Matter's shows, I'd never seen actors, poets, rappers, and singers all in the same venue. The aforementioned line was courtesy of Lionel Macauley via his spoken word piece delivered right after he performed a few monologues. 

So I was ordered to review TGMInvadesNYC and give a recap of that incredible experience, because that's exactly what it was, incredible. I realized that frankly you had to be in the building or you missed out. Forgive me now if I struggle to put such an awesome event into words. Such an eclectic group of people were gathered to see such a diverse group of artists showcasing their work. We were all gathered into one of the biggest poetry venues in the city, the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe. I was wowed when the news of this venue hit the public. If you don't know, Nuyoricans is a big deal. Some of the greatest acts around the way have performed there.

The show kicked off with poetry from Vancito and Tevin Reese. Dyce followed up with some vocals of her own as she dazzled the crowd singing smooth R&B. I always tell myself "when throwing a party eliminate chairs from the equation." That way when people are already standing they are more likely to be dancing. Before I could formulate that thought Alvie Skywalker solicits the crowd to stand up and move closer to the stage. His upbeat and outgoing spirit really kicked things off for the event. Backed by Darryl J and Karma (whom you'll hear more about) he performed a few of his tracks and put on a great set. Uncle Trey, & Kvaun followed up with a dope rapping set of their own.

"Finally we have it! A conscious rapper that can entertain a crowd on a trap beat." That's what Issah said about Shawn Cyrsis when we first saw him at TGM relaunch event. He completely tore down the stage as did Karma for her set. She performed Don't Forget Me & some new music with her frequent collaborator in SOULFULL. They previewed a track off their new project, I-95 & Wifi which we can expect soon. This set the stage for Soulfull. We know how crazy SayYes came to be on MTAG. As Soulfull says "she's a great talent and the chemistry between us is electric." Everyone noticed even the Host who asked "Is that bae?" Let's just say she isn't the only one questioning that. You can expect that answer when we release our interview with the Franklin emcee soon. Franklin and family always come out and put on an incredible set whenever Soulfull performs. The 732 is prevalent, young and old. Even the grown folks know all the words to his songs and I think that's incredible. Keyvauna Leshea finishes up the show performing Luv Groove and the vibes throughout filled the Lower East Side atmosphere.

At the end of the show New Jersey really took over our northern neighbors and their city. This was great for the culture and our art scene even across the bridges and tunnels. The vibes and atmosphere was electric and I'm still floating off a high of the dope weekend. I say it year in and out, New Jersey is something to be reckoned with and platforms like Tha Grey Matter ensures there will always be a place for us to shine.
