Abyss ft. Cyrus Da Zine - Dynamic Duo prod. by DC The Midi Alien (cuts by DJ Slipwax)

Massachusetts lyricist Abyss returns with “Dynamic Duo,” a dark and immersive new single produced by underground virtuoso DC The Midi Alien. Blending sharp lyricism with a warm, retro-inspired soundscape, the record delivers gritty boom-bap drums, soulful undertones and raw underground energy. The track features fellow Massachusetts artist Cyrus Da Zine, who contributes a standout guest verse while trading a back-and-forth chorus with Abyss, creating a chemistry that feels both cohesive and uncompromising. The song closes with cuts from Boston’s own DJ Slipwax, adding an authentic golden-era touch to the record. Completing the presentation, the single’s artwork was hand-drawn by Cyrus, while visualizer videos by Brian Life bring the release to life with a striking animated aesthetic that captures the spirit of the underground.

LATE - Everything's the Opposite

Independent artist LATE returns with Everything’s the Opposite, a self produced 10 track album that blends sharp lyricism, personal reflection, and uncompromising energy into a project rooted in independence and authenticity. Built entirely outside the traditional label system, Everything’s the Opposite captures the tension between struggle and ambition, isolation and confidence, pressure and purpose.

Across ten tracks, LATE explores resilience, originality, and self determination while delivering a sound that moves between introspective moments and hard hitting momentum. From the opening track “Looking for a Way Out” to the closing statement “Fly Direct,” the album unfolds like a journey through uncertainty toward clarity. Tracks like “No Rehearsal” and “Sink or Swim” embrace risk and instinct, while songs such as “Legacy” and “Mind over Matter” reflect on growth, endurance, and leaving a lasting mark. “This album came from doing everything independently and trusting the process,” says LATE. “It’s about contradiction, pressure, survival, and staying original when everything around you tries to pull you in the opposite direction.”

With self-production at the center of the project, Everything’s the Opposite showcases LATE’s commitment to creative control and artistic independence, delivering a sound that feels direct, personal, and uncompromised..

This is the first music video from the album
