It’s all the stuff we’re bumping here at Vanyaland HQ, one new bop at a time. Jordan Duffy, ‘Not Your Dream Girl’ Movie endings can often be so unrealistic that they feel […]

The word appears over 25 times throughout the lyrics, and for good reason. As Meech BOLD describes in an Instagram post about “Brockton […]

The Nashua-gone-Los Angeles artist bursts into the new year with a “2-pack” of singles today (January 4), again recruiting members of the Brockton rap collective to lend his beats some extra bounce. “Image of God” centers around the conviction in Aziz’s and Luke Bar$’s brash verses, while Aziz joins Jiles and Meech BOLD for some bars on “Toledo.” The double shot follows AzizTheShake’s success at […]

Just a few months after the release of their debut album Bad For Press, Van Buren have already advanced to a new single and music video titled “Cash Rules,” out today (August 12).
