Garren brings the heat with ‘90s R&B vibes and slows it down with his new single ​“It’s Complicated”.​ Exposing his softer, more vulnerable side, Garren dives deep into the ups and downs of relationships, the triumph of letting your guard down and being able to trust one another.

“​That moment when you have no idea which way the relationship is going to turn. “It’s Complicated is the emotional journey of an indecisive thought process about your significant other”

Garren has been a prominent voice among his hometown city of LA and has provenly carved out his own path in music with a slew of singles and his debut EP ​‘Normal’ ​in 2018.  ​Garren also contributed background vocals to ​Dreamville’s recent Grammy-nominated album ‘Revenge of the Dreamers III’,​ which debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and achieved platinum certification.

Out of all the content that has been released so far in 2018, Cozz is setting the bar high with the release of his project Effected. From beginning to end, Cozz expresses different relatable situations throughout manhood. Rather than speaking on matters of the heart, Cozz’ blunt attitude and straight forward sense of thinking gives off the perception of a player. Being one of the main artists on Dreamville‘s forefront, Cozz is sure to fill in the necessary gaps to land his solidified spot in the game.

This being Cozz’s second studio album — his first was Cozz & Effect — the West Coast rhymer has gained quite the hype on social media. The 14-track project includes features by Kendrick Lamar, Curren$y, GARREN and J. Cole. You can stream Effected below via TIDAL.

Making it out of the ghetto isn’t so hard. Actually, escaping the poverty trap prevalent in your neighborhood depends on your mindset—not your bank account.

Make a plan to leave and watch it come to fruition with hard work and perseverance. On the new single, “You Know That,” L.A. musician Garren and Atlanta vocalist YFN Lucci share their motivational tale of escaping that other “Belly of the Beast.”

Backed by magnetic production, the Think It’s A Game Records labelmates trade verses on staying ahead. The verses from the two artists do not only complement each other, they sound like they were meant to coexist.

And like many artists on the rise, there’s plenty more magnetic tracks where this came from. “You Know That” comes a month after Garren dropped the instinctual “LA $hit” and “Wrong Way.”

Both singles, which touch on South-Central L.A. street culture, originally premiered during Ebro Darden‘s DJ set via Beats-1 radio.

Fresh off the release of his debut EP Long Live Nut, YFN is the next artist to watch from ATL.  Long Live Nut, a tribute to YFN’s fallen mentor, features appearances from Boosie Badass and Rick Ross. Geesh, with all this potential it’s no wonder the street verse slanging youth from South-Central and ATL prodigy blend well together.
