The new track is a soft, intimate ballad that highlights Kennedy’s powerful voice. “There’s a craving that will never come to pass/ There’s a hunger that will never cease to last/ There’s an aching that lies deep within my soul/ For the promise that someday I could be whole,” he croons over acoustic and slide guitar. The song’s sound recalls Kennedy’s debut solo album, Year of the Tiger, which was completely acoustic. Lyrics-...

Park is no stranger to penning lyrics, having anchored the vocals for Bruce Lee Band since the mid-’90s. In a statement, the words were described as being, “in part, about craving tasty food but not having the money to pay for it, as well as being without power or hope.” In that sense, it fits into the political themes that the band has been exploring for decades. “Part of me was excited to do it because it feels fresh to sing in a di...

It’s slated for a June release, and Zay is offering an early taste with the new single “Lay Wit Ya” featuring Duke Deuce.

Five years ago he seemed poised on the cusp of superstardom, but instead of following in the footsteps of his TDE label-mate Kendrick Lamar, he disappeared. Call him the Prodigal Sun. As he explained in a new intervi...
