New Music: Corio - Emotions

Keeping the momentum flowing following the release of his well-received music video for "Don't Run," Lexington's most notable rising star Corio delivers the Claudio "2x" Clarke-produced cut "Emotions." Staying on-brand, the interpersonal track finds the "Phone Off" composer getting super transparent about how he feels and what he expects out of his current relationship. 

 Corio, formerly known as YNL Capone, hails from Kentucky’s second-largest city Lexington. Over the past few years, he’s blessed his growing fanbase with projects like 'The Let Go,' '10 Hours,' 'Amoré', and 'First Class,' which sees six equally dope cuts from the genre-bending artist. He’s also delivered the notable singles "Go Harder" and "Vietnam." As Corio, fans can look for more of his infectious harmonies evident on his most recent EP, Last Week In LA. 

 It’s not so often in this current climate that we are blessed with much musical talent that comes out of the Bluegrass state. With the success of Louisville megastars Bryson Tiller, Jack Harlow, and EST Gee, they have been bringing good energy to the area and are inspiring plenty of local rising stars. That said, Corio is coming for his spot in the game and has been showing some very promising signs of potential very early on in his musical career. As of late, Corio has been closely working with DJ Corbett, the multi-Grammy-winning producer out of Northern KY, assuring that his sound will be developed to its full capacity. Corio writes about his life and past events with great visualization through lyrics and a smooth cadence with calm delivery. 

 In addition to that, Corio uses the clash of such a soothing vocal on uptempo beats to wow us with his creativity. Hit the play below, and watch his Brandon Lopez-directed visual for "Don't Run," here.

New Video: Tyler Loyal - Back In Dat Mode

Following the single's premiere on the NFL Network 'Sunday Spotlight' segment earlier this month, So Rebel/AWAL signee Tyler Loyal unloads the Erikson Corniel directed music video for his Sonni-produced banger "Back In Dat Mode." Surrounded by his day ones, Tyler rides around the city decked in a winter Supreme coat making it clear he's officially outside again. Explaining the song's central message in a statement to the press, the Beantown native explains:

"I’ve been at my lowest, living off Cup Noodles and cold-cut sandwiches. I’ve also been in the presence of financial freedom. Both experiences brought me to the same conclusion, I need to get rich. I made a promise to myself at 8 years old that I would be the one in my family to break the barrier and every day I live on this earth I’m trying to get myself closer to that end goal. This song is for the hustlers. It’s what it feels like to be fed up with your current state, get up and get to the bag.”

 

Tyler Loyal is a Boston-born genre-bending artist, songwriter, and producer who holds an air of composure and confidence over every track that he touches. Having a passion for rapping since the age of eight. The Massachusetts native made his debut as a teenager in 2017 with his single "Better Off As Friends", via SoundCloud, which accumulated 300K+ streams, with barely any promotion. As Tyler continued to develop his craft he would release the following year his most-played song across several platforms "The Bottom", which helped solidify his buzz as an artist, especially in his local area. Consistent work and development continued in the following years, and brought more well-received material such as "Enemy" in 2018 before he turned up the heat with several releases in 2019 including "Options," "Gone For The Summer," and the Jay Gwuapo featured track "Level Up." 

Determined as ever, with more to prove Tyler linked with rapper Jay Critch for his early 2020 single "Hit Me" leading into his debut project 'When You Decide' in 2020 and the follow-up project 'Nova' in 2021; which featured the standout cut "PSYCHO."

New Video: Corio – Don’t Run

Love takes an unexpecting turn for the uprising Kentucky rap star Corio, formerly YNL Capone, that sees his resiliently pursuing his distancing love interest in the cinematic new visual for “Don’t Run.” While the Brandon Lopez-directed visual tell one story, the lyrics tell another as Corio details the struggles of the relationship. We see him chase the love of his life physically and metaphorically through confession.

“Things I did in the dark came to light,” says Corio. “I had let my demons as well as life problems put us both in pain and I can tell she wants to run, but I can’t let her go because I love her. At this point my relationship is a wreck. The only way I could talk about it was to make it art. Maxx B started playing the guitar and the first take was the one I recorded to. The whole session took maybe an hour. Honesty and pain makes writing easy.”

The Lexington native releases “Don’t Run” after catching widespread attention with the previously released hit “Phone Off.” And with his recent boost in popularity, “Don’t Run” marks the perfect origin point for newfound fans of the rising star as he delivers his arguably best work yet. The end of the visual speaks volumes. “Don’t Run” and “Phone Off” are available across all streaming platforms via own imprint.
