With its captivating blend of dark trap and rock influences reminiscent of masterworks by Mike Dean with Travis Scott and Kanye West, the song grabs you immediately and refuses to let go. The seamless synergy between Syed and Zacc P delivers an anthemic chorus, with lyrics that are both introspective and defiant. The production, layered and atmospheric, perfectly complements the raw emotionality of the lyrics.

An artful blend of dark trap and rock, "N O P A I N" captures the zeitgeist of the current music scene.

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Kanye West and Travis Scott, this song cements Syed and Zacc P's positions as artists to watch in the coming years.
If there's one track that encapsulates the raw, unbridled emotion of dark trap with a sprinkle of rock edge, it's "N O P A I N".

I started a business caring for the elderly, and in my spare time, I would create music for myself and anyone who wanted to listen. This became a repetitive cycle for seven years. Despite not dedicating all my effort to music during those years, I managed to create a buzz around my work. It was then that I fully embraced music as a career.
My music is a reflection of my deepest values and beliefs, a true representation of my passion and dedication to my craft. It's an emotive and powerful blend of melodies and lyrics that touch upon the universal themes of love, loss, and hope.
"LUSE-HEADED" is a testament to my journey as an artist and the culmination of seven years of dedication under Aanderaj®. I delve into the spiritual realm through my dancer alter ego, LUSE (a playful nod to the foot-loose spirit) and through a captivating narrative, I challenge the devil himself to an epic dance battle.
Victory seemed out of reach, but I persevered. However, the battle took its toll on me, and I found myself in a seven-year period of recovery and self-discovery. During this period, I faced my demons, experienced profound growth, and honed my artistic vision. I emerged stronger, more determined, and ready to face the devil once again. And this time, I triumphed in a climactic ending - the devil's beheading signifying the ultimate defeat of darkness and the triumph of light.
"LUSE-HEADED" is not just an album; it's a testament to the power of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of artistic passion.

Rising artist Jonnie Morris returns with a new hit single titled "Big Stepper". The Detroit based artist is focused on creating music that combines the energy of modern hip-hop with the melodies of the contemporary alternative scene. Jonnie Morris grew up in a musical family. His father was a successful local R&B performer, who sadly passed away when Jonnie was only 5. This led to him seeking comfort and an escape from grief in the sound of music. In particular, Morris quickly discovered hip hop as a fitting outlet to channel his feelings.
Jonnie Morris' latest offering, "Big Stepper", takes listeners on an emotional ride of pure grit and resilience in the face of sheer adversity and opposition on the road to success.
A gritty, yet at times dark story of a young man who operates purely out of self defense against any who wish him harm, while also bringing listeners into his world of anger and pain transformed into pure art.
Jonnie Morris' influences include some of hip-hop’s most iconic luminaries, such as DMX, Notorious B.I.G, Eminem, and Royce Da 5’9. "Big Stepper" is a powerful and uplifting ode to hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
“I’m really excited for everyone to hear this single,” says Morris. “As a songwriter, I try to create music that can empower and encourage people to keep fighting and never give up. That’s what I want people to take away from this track.”
