New single by MonaVeli, new single coming from Juno Rucker, new video from Chow + more!
Our release calendar is packed for the rest of the year, hope you can keep up!!!
We’ve been on a run for about two and a half years bringing on new artists to the roster. As of recently, we brought on the Boston based rapper & producer Dot Dev. Earlier this year before that, we brought on rapper and alternative R&B artist MonaVeli. In 2023, we signed 4 artists. In 2024, we signed 7 artists. Quick maths, we’re at 13 NEW artists. I feel proud looking at the roster and seeing what it looks like, and I feel we’ll sit comfy with this lineup for a bit and focus on the releases ahead. On that note, our calendar is looking PACKED for the rest of the year. Things are tentative and some isn’t locked in (yet), but we have only 3 weeks that don’t have a release through October right now. So, thanks for being subscribed to our newsletter because we’ll be keeping you up to date here and giving you some previews of what’s to come when we can!
We just released MonaVeli’s first single with us, “HOME” yesterday. We can also share a new video from Chow’s album we just released and that we have a new single coming from Juno Rucker. All on that below!
“HOME” by MonaVeli
After she delivered an electrifying performance at our free show in Boston a few weeks ago, we’re super excited to release her latest single, “HOME.”
With its haunting, retro melody and beat switches, ‘HOME’ exposes MonaVeli’s ex’s games, flipping heartbreak into a battle cry for self-worth. “I was in a mental space of shock, betrayal, and anger. The emotions took over—I wrote the song in under an hour. It felt like a moment of realization and release," MonaVeli states. The cover art, a striking image of MonaVeli in a polished outfit juxtaposed against a burning home, mirrors the song’s themes of disillusionment and rebirth. For fans of Beyoncé, Sailorr, and cathartic R&B, “HOME” is a relatable sounding board for anyone taking their power back.

Upcoming Juno Rucker single, “HOW HIGH, out on June 4
Emerging from a two-year creative hiatus, we’re excited to release alternative pop artist Juno Rucker’s new single, “HOW HIGH,” a contemplative exploration of emotional reciprocity and personal boundaries.
“HOW HIGH” delves into the complexities of relationships, posing the poignant question: “I always wondered how high someone would go for me… most of the time, it’s me giving more energy.” The song’s genesis was rooted in Rucker’s personal experiences, as he navigated past issues with friends and family, channeling his thoughts during long walks and studio sessions into a cohesive musical narrative.
Despite a serious topic that may be relatable to some, it’s a fun track perfect for summer. Pre-save here & check out Juno Rucker’s post about it on IG for a preview of the track!
Watch the video for Chow’s “Fog Brain”
Coming off ALCDELUXE with Jay Cinema, we released abstract hip-hop artist Chow’s Seeker of Knowledge on May 1. An album close to his heart that blends themes of esoteric wisdom, resilience, and self-discovery, features mostly his own production minus a few appearances. One of those is by djnOOnsomewhere for the chaotically beautiful “Fog Brain,” a track about the effects of heavy marijuana use.
