Harlem singer/producer LoVel delivers a lush and atmospheric new single, “I Swear,” that embraces living and enjoying the good life. For the multi-talented artist, that means concocting the perfect recipe of finding the right girl for the night, and throwing back tequila shots until last call.

The hypnotizing track arrives on the heels of LoVel’s recent, wave-making release of his remix for “Me Too,” which features XXL Freshman and bubbling rapper, Dave East. While that cut had a distinctive and fitting Hip-Hop vibe to it, “I Swear” embraces modern R&B’s flirtations with more spacious sounds.It’s enveloping and airy, yet also grounded by a rich low-end supplying plenty of bass.

Despite the varied sonics, both tracks were produced by the same duo, LoVel and his go-to collaborator, Al-Taquan. And when you also consider the work they did on LoVel’s well received EP, Backseat Memories, it becomes clear that these are two artists certainly worth checking for.

“I Swear” is set to be featured on LoVel’s forthcoming release, Passenger, which is the follow-up to Backseat Memories, and the second part of a three part series. The track is now available through iTunes and all major digital retailers and streaming platforms through LoVel’s recently launched imprint, The Legaxy Era.

Johnny Cinco‘s long-awaited mixtape “I Swear” arrives following a short delay. The Quality Control representative builds on his previous solo effort, the well-received “John Popi“ and delivers 14 new tracks. Frequent collaborator and executive producer Spiffy is responsible for a majority of the production with KE On The Track, OG Parker, Beat Monster, and Marc Wheezy contributing as well.

The Atlanta rapper’s signature formula of melodic raps over airy production results in an easy-on-the-ears listening experience. Cinco is at his best on “I Swear,” “Yea Yea,” “Crew X 2,” and “There Go Popi.” Migos and OG Maco are at the forefront of the QC movement, but Cinco isn’t far behind. With this new project and future visuals, expect him to have a breakout year in 2015.

With just a few days until the release of the highly anticipated I Swear, Johnny Cinco released a new track, “She Wanna.” Once again, go-to producer Spiffy is responsible for the production. Over the piano-led backing, the ATLien croons about spoiling his woman. Whether its taking her on trips around the world or buying her high-end clothing, Cinco has no problem pulling bills out of his pocket and pleasing his significant other.  This track follows-up the Peewee Longway assisted “On My Line.”

The time is nearing for Johnny Cinco’s highly anticipated I Swear mixtape. After delivering two solid offerings in “A Week Ago” and the Migos-assisted “I’m Straight,” John Popi is back with another banging anthem that will satisfy fans until his full-length arrives. Joined by Peewee Longway, “On My Line” displays the Atlanta rappers balancing each other out with their contrasting styles. Cinco croons his way over the piano-laced soundscape while the eccentric Longway delivers an animated verse and the result is a hard-hitting track with high replay value.

Johnny Cinco‘s Quality Control label mates Migos join him on “I’m Straight,” the newest release off his forthcoming I Swear mixtape. Like most of his catalogue, his go to producer Spiffy, is responsible for the production. Over bright synths and steady hitting drums, the budding Atlanta rapper croons about being comfortable in his current situation. Thanks to years of staying down for what he believes in, he’s reaping the benefits like riding in big body Escalades. His verse splits a pair of solid guest verses from Takeoff and Quavo. “I’m Straight” follows up last week’s “Week Ago,” which will also appear on I Swear, due February 9th.
