Chicago’s own, up and coming artist, DamnDanial, is rapidly gaining traction as a fan favorite across his community. Today he is here to share his latest release, “HML.”

Through his self-produced R&B inspired beats and melodic raps, Danial’s music is unique and infectious. He cites inspiration from artists such as Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Gunna, & Eminem.

Much of his music is inspired by his Pakistani pride and heritage as his interest in music began as a child. In his teenage years, he became a self-taught guitarist, and later found a passion for creating beats and ultimately found his calling when he began rapping over them.

In 2017, DamnDanial opened for Zack Knight (one of the most successful singer-songwriters of Pakistani descent) in his hometown of Chicago. Earlier this year, DamnDanial released his first music video for the song “It’s Danny.” Other songs he is known for include “HMU,” “Ride for Me,” & “What’s the Move.”

Check out his new single, “HML,” below!

Philadelphia artist, Chase Allen, shares his thoughts on past and recent events surrounding racial injustice in America.

Speaking first hand from a Black man in today’s society, he drops raw lyrics from his own experiences and personal thoughts of how he feels about how Black lives are treated in our so called, “Land of the free.”

With lyrics like: “Black man lives are being wasted,” “Wish I could talk about the block and the streets, or when that time my homie got shot by police,” and “All I could think was Marcus Garvey was right!” – we get reminded how so many Black injustices in this country go unnoticed in this high energy track.

Listen to, “Emergency,” below, and check out more music from Chase Allen via SoundCloud.

What is your name and what city do you rep?

PeacefulPinder I was born and raised in Seattle and spent a couple years in LA.

Tell us about your latest releases, what inspired you to create them?

“TraPeaceArtist is my debut album, it drops June 26th. The inspiration for the project was really telling my story growing up in a drug and alcohol infested home. Abuse of substances was heavy and violence was everywhere. The project concept is trap, melodic sounds that tell the story in a fun way of overcoming those obstacles and creating a life of abundance and bliss.”

What is unique about you and your music?

“There is an originality to my songwriting, flows and cadence. Feedback is usually that I don’t really sound like anybody and I enjoy that I want to create my sound and style within hip-hop.”

What shaped your music?

“Life experiences and listening to other music growing up. I loved to listen to Nas, Big L, and Jay-Z growing up, and recent influences have been J.Cole and Russ type artists.”

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

“When I started freestyling at parties and people would just vibe and get so hype about the bars and flow that it was time to take it serious.”

What type of music do you listen to?

“Mainly hip-hop, but i enjoy some Rock n Roll, and chill hop type music.”

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?

“I love to play and coach basketball, it is important to me to give back to the youth and make a positive impact on their lives. Give them the type of wisdom, knowledge and conversation that was helpful to me growing up.”

Happiness to you is…
