After starting his career as a Cleveland rap sensation, the 32-year-old artist started to marry his rapper roots with pop-punk influences as evidenced by his 2019 full-length album Hotel Diablo before releasing two true-to-form pop-punk albums—2020’s Tickets To My Downfall and 2022’s mainstream sellout. Respectively, Tickets To My Downfall has been certified Platinum while mainstream sellout has been certified Gold, and both albums boast massive features including Halsey, blackbear, Bring Me The Horizon, WILLOW, and… Read more »

If you owned a radio in 2003, or maybe even the iconic Guitar Hero game, you couldn’t escape their absolute smash hit “Meant To Live“. In fact, even after two decades, the legendary guitar riff that starts the song still lives in people’s heads. It is instantly recognizable. Perhaps you liked tunes on the softer side back then, and “Dare You To Move” was more your speed. Either way,… Read more »
