nerve - a capella 1take


One of our most mentioned artists returns for our first place spot this week with his latest release “A CAPELLA 1TAKE” featuring BBTK & friends. Taking a break from his hard hitting self produced bangers, Nerve has blessed the scene with an acapella one take that sounds like something out of one of Kanye’s Sunday Service sessions. With a smooth vocal sample from BBTK and friends being performed live providing a perfect melody for Nerve’s smooth bars and creative flow schemes. The track’s drive is also driven by the acoustic percussion of the clapping sticks and finger snaps completing the songs overall sound, whilst also helping the rapper keep time in his flow.

M37 - MONEY MAKIN’

At our second spot this week is Melbourne based drill group “M37” and their latest single “Money Making”. Dropping on the 3rd of June with a high quality music video from ZacoBro. The boys have stepped it up for their second release of 2021, returning with their aggressive and hard hitting drill bars for another high tempo banger. With this group making notable improvements every release, we are more than excited to see what this young group can bring to the scene in the following years!
