Child Soldieruntiljapan

untiljapan – Child Soldier (Official Audio)

UntilJapan, a rising rapper based in the Atlanta area, has been turning heads with a melodic style rooted in cloud rap and trap, wielding anonymity as his weapon.

His track released in October 2025 stands out with its breakneck 160 BPM tempo and a dark F♯ minor tonal palette.

As the title suggests, the lyrics weave together themes of self-defense and ambition born from a harsh upbringing, while the energetic flow and heavyweight 808s create an overwhelming sense of immersion.

Following his steady career progression with the 2023 album “SAFE TRAVELS” and the June 2025 album “trompe l’oeil,” this song serves as a bridge to his next step.

Cash RulesBlack Gold

Cash Rules

Blackgold, a London-based five-piece nu metal band who conceal their faces with masks, formed around 2020.

They pay homage to 90s nu metal acts like Limp Bizkit and Slipknot while drawing attention with a distinctly UK sound that weaves in grime and DJ-driven elements.

Released in September 2025, this track centers on sarcasm and frustration toward money worship, portraying the raw reality of young people navigating a surveilled society and the criminal underworld.

Its fusion of heavy guitar riffs and rap epitomizes classic nu metal.

Set to appear on the EP “Phone Home” in October, it’s poised to be a live “killer tune” that sparks mosh pits.

Call On MeDaniel Caesar

Daniel Caesar – Call On Me (Official Music Video)

This track by Canadian artist Daniel Caesar was released in August 2025, with its music video premiering in October of the same year.

It serves as the second single from his fourth album, Son of Spergy.

The album title reflects his feelings toward his father; he has said that, in his childhood, his father was like a god to him.

This work fuses grunge-inspired guitar sounds with rhythms reminiscent of reggae, resulting in an unprecedented roughness and freshness.

The lyrics depict a devoted love that accepts even being used by the other person, and Daniel’s deep vocals elevate such complex emotions into something convincing.

While rooted in R&B, the sound design transcends genre boundaries—truly impressive.

Crawl Back To My CoffinDayseeker

Dayseeker – Crawl Back To My Coffin

Dayseeker is a post-hardcore/metalcore band formed in 2012 in Orange County, California.

With Rory Rodriguez’s emotive clean vocals and expressive shifts into screams, along with a melodic sound that incorporates elements of ’80s synth-pop, they’ve earned support that transcends genre boundaries.

This track, a lead single from their album “Creature In The Black Night,” released in October 2025, uses the allegory of resurrecting from an emotional death only to crawl back into the coffin again to depict a cycle: someone with emotional defenses is briefly revived by love, but after the pain of the outcome, regrets it, feeling “it would have been better to have stayed in the grave.” It begins with restrained piano and clean guitar, then builds thickness in the drums and guitars toward the finale, delivering a striking contrast between quiet and loud that bursts open in the chorus.

Cumulus / MemorySampha

Sampha – Cumulus / Memory

Sampha, the singer and producer from South London, is known for collaborations with Drake, Frank Ocean, and Kendrick Lamar, and proved his talent by winning the Mercury Prize for his 2017 debut album Process.

Released in October 2025 to mark the second anniversary of his album LAHAI, this work is an approximately seven-minute long single that took two years to complete, having been initiated during the album’s production period.

With The xx’s Romy as a co-writer, it delicately explores themes of time, memory, and the fraying of relationships through dreamy synths and impressionistic vocals.

Blending ambient and neo-soul into a weightless, floating sound, it’s a perfect track for those who want to sink into a quiet night and listen closely.

CRANKSlayyyter

Slayyyter – CRANK (Official Video)

Singer-songwriter Slayyyter, originally from Missouri and now based in New York, is drawing attention for her unique style that fuses 2000s glamour-pop with club culture.

In August 2025, she announced a deal with major label Columbia Records, and in October she dropped a new track on the label marked by industrial noise and a distorted bass.

Produced by Austin Corona and Wyatt Bernard, the industrial hip-hop track delivers a high-density club sound where razor-sharp synths intertwine with bouncy kicks.

In the self-directed music video, she maintains a DIY ethos while crafting an aggressive visual aesthetic through angular editing and industrial lighting.

Ironically portraying hedonistic themes, the song is a perfect fit for rave and club play.

Crazy WorldBlack Gold

BLACKGOLD – Crazy World (Official Music Video)

Black Gold are a masked, enigmatic five-piece from London.

Updating the nu-metal that dominated the ’90s and early 2000s with elements of rap and grime, they’ve been generating buzz—especially among younger listeners.

This track, the lead single from their EP “E.P Phone Home,” released in October 2025, delivers a powerful message about today’s chaotic society.

With explosive guitar riffs, thunderous low end, and an aggressive blend of shouts and rap, it channels biting irony and anger toward a dystopian world.

The music video—evoking ’80s cinema and laced with celebrity-scandal references—is also a must-see.
