About Josh The Word, Jazze Belle, Lohai


Josh the Word is obsessive. For 30 months straight he’s curated a mixtape for his friends, and he's spent 3 years on his debut album, Psyched Out. Now, Josh's first single “Mixtape/TMI” premieres as an ode to two dying art forms: mixtapes and app-free flirting. It’s a throwback to the days before streaming playlists, when you would make tapes and CDs for your crush.

In “Mixtape/TMI,” Josh the Word carefully balances meticulous cadences and wordplay with distorted soul and nostalgic samples. The accompanying video — equal parts surreal and heartwarming — follows an old man’s journey to deliver a mixtape to a hidden church in Upstate New York. It’s a testament to the power of music to move us, literally and figuratively.

This first single marks Josh the Word as a freshman rapper to watch in 2017.


Jazze Belle is a duo comprised of producer/instrumentalist Jett and singer/songwriter Taylor Simone. Both hail from different parts of the country (Taylor's from LA and Jett's from Richmond), but the two share a sound influenced by jazzy vocals, soulful chords, and hip hop digital production. Playing everywhere in NYC from Nola, Darling to Baby's All Right, they are equipped with a musical tenacity and talent to match. They aim to give music In true surprise album fashion, their debut EP will be released someday in the near future.


Lohai is a new soul pop collaboration between Alita Moses and Devon Yesberger.
