Indio9 – “Watch My Back” Ft. Low, Red Cloud & Spyder Deuce (Single Review) Indio9 from Socal releases a new single titled “Watch My Back” feat Low, Red Cloud & Spyder Deuce, I Loved the west coast vibe and how each artist held their own as the song progressed. This is for sure one of those tracks you can let all the windows down and create a vibe for the street, I can see these combination of artist on a EP or mixtape together in the future. The auto tune was a nice added touch that not only added sound depth but corresponding elements. At 1st glance the cover reminded me of J Cole Sideline story I was anticipating some raw music vibes and that’s just what I got .

Q&A With Rising SoCal Hip Hop Native Indio9 FAT Fly Freddie Lee "Brown Girl Magic" Single FAT Fly Freddie Lee releases "Brown Girl Magic", the first single off his "Because She Can't Fry Chicken" project, available now on major platforms. Lee delivers an unforgettable ode to African American Women across the globe celebrating their beauty from within, their struggles, and their strengths. Over a smooth, soulful arrangement of tones, he encompasses the elements that transcend women into queens. The famed artist shares insight from a man's perspective describing women as the backbone who better men, influence the masses, and teach how to love. Lee also sheds light on the incomparable ability of women to weather any storm and overcome daily struggles.
