ColoRising Mixes 19: Conrad Kira

To say that Conrad Kira represents the musical diversity that continues to bubble throughout England wouldn't quite do the emcee full justice. In fact, the South Londoner operates more from a global perspective incorporating styles ranging from grime to electro, all the way to Japanese pop. It can be safe to say that Kira is far from a follower, but rather an artist who chooses to paint on a bigger palette than many.

Santigold ft. ILoveMakonnen ‘Who Be Lovin’ Me’ Video

Santigold and Atlanta's ILoveMakonnen is a flamboyant combination, which makes perfect sense that the two would come together for the song and video 'Who Be Lovin' Me', which is taken from Santigold's forthcoming LP '99 ¢ents' out January 22nd. Directed by Trouble Andrew and Santigold, the video was shot at the Made In America Festival. Basically you have ILoveMakonnen and Santigold driving around in a mini-vehicle as guests jump in including Earl Sweatshirt, Big Sean and Fabolous. There are also many other cameos throughout various clips, but all in all, you can tell it was one jumping event. Have a look.

Lucid Interview

Street soul, a combination of Hip-Hop, soul and R&B, is the sound being created by the Netherlands-based duo Lucid. Formed in 2012 and comprised of vocalists Janice and Juliet, the sexy Dutch duo originally met in university while both studying media before switching to music and each getting accepted into the Herman Brood Academie in Utrecht. After a trip to the U.S. that same year, Lucid went full force with their career, returning to America in 2013 to perform live at various venues and forming collaborations. In the works to release their debut album "Poisoned Pawns", Juliet and Janice dropped a video for the hypnotic song "Stranger To Me" earlier this year, followed by their recent video "Celebration", which documents the ladies' recent voyage in Brussels. The LP will straddle the sounds of Hip-Hop, soul, R&B and trap. With sultry vocals backed by rich, soulful production, Lucid are a pair of talented beauties that you should definitely get to know.
