Kiiara’s “Gold” was one of the songs of the summer, reminding us that top 40 wasn’t just dominated by The Chainsmokers. Seriously, how many times have we heard a Chainsmokers track at that top spot? No hate, but I’m just saying. Anyway, Kiiara got Tunechi to hop on the remix to “Gold.” His verse is […]
Read moreNew Music: @_khyro – "[drip]"
Khyro, a rising artist from North Philidelphia, gave me some info about his new track. After taking a year-long hiatus, he’s back with his melodious single, “Drip”.
