TheoryTheRapper – ‘Profit’
About TheoryTheRapper
TheoryTheRapper is the next up-and-coming rapper to watch. Born and raided in Gwinnet County, Georgia, TheoryTheRapper has always had a passion for hip-hop culture. Before starting his rap career, he was known for BBoying and delving into music by the likes of NF, Token, and Big Sean. More recently, he has been heavily inspired by Russ, Logic, and Joyner Lucas. With the new music he’s set to release, he hopes to encourage his listeners to pursue their goals along with him.
After joining the U.S Navy at 23 years old, his home away from home became a submarine. This was a pivotal point in his life, as he would write songs instead of sleep. His first audiences were his shipmates under the ocean and now it’s everyone above it. He strives to create music that opens up introspective conversations, as well as make the listener feel confident and motivated. TheoryTheRapper’s energetic style and lyrical virtuosity is equally as addicting as it is unique. His prowess is unmatched and constantly evolving.

Malou Madi – ‘What we don’t say’
About Malou Madi
Malou Madi is a vocalist, producer and multi-instrumentalist born in Paris, based in Brooklyn.
After playing keys or singing with various people (you may have seen her on stage with Kadhja Bonet, Emel Mathlouthi or Emily King), she is now juxtaposing herself in her songs, groovy meditations rooted in ambivalence.
When pressed for her influences, Malou Madi reveals that she feels deeply connected to Brazilian music because they “can express existential dread very softly,” and that really hits home, because Malou Madi exists in the shape-shifting space that we are all too familiar with, the space in our heads where the brain should be, the space that sometimes tells you to not leave the house or talk to anyone, but other times demands you go out dancing and hang out all night with people you don’t know. A space of delightful uncertainty, where Madi carefully threads her way through life’s in-betweens.

Move Like Creatures – ‘Space Case’
About Move Like Creatures
Launched in early 2020, Southern California four-piece Move Like Creatures defied the odds, transcending the loneliness and isolation of lockdown to find each other in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It felt like magic the first time we all got together,” says frontwoman Nancy Bombard. “We were an instant family.” Take a listen to Mind Reader, the band’s exhilarating debut, and you’ll start to feel like part of the family, too. Recorded with producer/engineer Ethan Kaufmann (Ryan Cabrera, Avril Lavigne), the single is deceptively bright, fueled by addictive hooks and an infectious charm that belies the collection’s often-weighty subject matter. Bombard’s lyrics are raw and vulnerable, grappling openly with loss, insecurity, and mental health, and her bandmates—drummer Melissa Koziel and guitarist Ryan Reynolds—deliver similarly confident, captivating performances, mixing pop sheen and rock and roll grit with immersive electronic flourishes and streaks of punk defiance. The result is a sound that’s at once intimate and anthemic, a bold, bittersweet debut that hints at everything from Hayley Williams and Liz Phair to Gwen Stefani and Olivia Rodrigo as it reminds us that no matter how dark or desperate things may seem, we’re never truly alone in this world.
