Hazz - The More I Live
NYARK celebrates its landmark 50th release with 'The More I Live', the fifth studio album from Hazz, one of the label’s most enduring and compelling talents. An artist whose career has been forged through consistency, creative integrity and an unwavering devotion to the craft, Hazz has steadily carved out his own territory within the underground hip-hop landscape, earning his place through substance rather than spectacle. His lyrical perspective is shaped by the uncompromising realities of everyday life, as he delivers a personal collection that balances hard-won wisdom with an unrelenting hunger to progress. Warm, soulful production provides the backdrop for gritty, streetwise narratives, creating an album that is as reflective as it is resolute, as thoughtful as it is uncompromising. 'The More I Live' is a record of considerable depth and distinction, a ten-track testament to the enduring power of authentic hip-hop that should resonate with any discerning listener who values substance, craftsmanship and lyrical dexterity over passing trends. Hazz’s greatest strength lies in his ability to turn lived experience into compelling art, establishing himself as a quietly formidable talent whose continued evolution deserves wider recognition.
Across its ten tracks, 'The More I Live' explores struggle, ambition, loyalty and survival through a rich sonic palette supplied by an accomplished roster of producers, including Cusho Beats, Adi, David Linhoff, Mindor, Matt Foster, JTavis, Sunday and Tricksta. The determined resolve of 'Trust Your Struggle' and the defiant urgency of 'Give Me Room' sit alongside the introspective weight of the title track, with each song contributing to a cohesive portrait of an artist navigating life’s complexities without sacrificing his edge. Guest appearances from Mindor, Catsmoke, Andy Princz, Airklipz and Conman bring contrasting textures and perspectives, complementing Hazz’s distinctive delivery while leaving his voice and vision firmly at the heart of the project. This album represents both a significant milestone for NYARK and another assured statement from an artist continuing to sharpen his creative identity. There is little sense of complacency here; instead, 'The More I Live feels' like the work of a rapper still hungry to challenge himself, refine his craft and push beyond established boundaries. With his sixth album, 'Survival Tactics', already in the works and set to be produced entirely by Mindor, Hazz is showing no signs of slowing down. If 'The More I Live' is any indication of what lies ahead, 2027 could prove to be a defining year for one of the underground’s most quietly persistent and talented voices.

Leedz Edutainment ft. The Dunnas & Shea - The Working Man prod. by DC the MIDI Alien
BOSTON, MA — Leedz Edutainment releases the official music video for “The Working Man (Turn & Burn),” featuring The Dunnas and Shea and produced by DC The Midi Alien, from his "Hard To Learn" album (Out Now on all platforms).
“The Working Man” explores the difficult balance between maintaining a life in music and meeting everyday work responsibilities. It speaks to the artists who put in long hours to pay the bills, while finding the time and energy to write, record, rehearse and perform. The song captures the sacrifices and competing demands that come with that commitment—the pull between creative ambition and practical necessity, and the determination it takes to keep both going.
Directed by SandoFilms, the video brings that struggle to the screen, connecting the song’s message to the people and places that inspired it. The track reflects a central theme of the "Hard To Learn" album: finding purpose and perseverance through life’s difficulties. For Leedz, whose work spans music production, concert promotion and backline, that balance is personal.
