Born in Transylvania, his family left post-communist Romania in the mid 1990s for Windsor, Ontario. In 2008 Florian became a nomad, drifting throughout Asia, Europe and Australia, and is now based in Toronto. Florian recently released the Citizen Earth EP (Soundcloud) along with visuals for “Untouchable”(Youtube). “The inspiration for the song was born out of many gin-soaked nights spent listening to blues artists like Sonny Boy Williamson and Howling Wolf,” Florian says. “My boy Sean Rey, who also features on the song, actually introduced me to the blues, and one night we just decided to take some common themes of the genre and flip them upside down on their heads to create a banger.” Florian’s sophomore project is due late 2017.

Atlanta rapper/producer J Cutta presents “LTU”, his new single produced by Cutta and King Corn Beatzz. J has produced for the Youngbloodz, the Dungeon Family (click here to hear “Fall Back”), has opened for Soulja Boy and has been featured on mixtapes with DJ Scream and DJ Teknikz. J’s last album was Life, Lies & Luxury (stream on Bandcamp), which spawned the single “Livin” (watch the music video). Last summer he released his single “Summer Of Sam” (listen), and released several songs on Soundcloud as part of his Music Mondays series (Soundcloud). “The idea and the creation of the song came from good vibes in the studio,” J says. “I wrote a few different hooks for this track. Recorded all the different hooks and decided this was the one. I really wanted to create something different from my usual. I listened to this track over a hundred times in the process of completing the record. I get anal from time to time when it comes to a song so this should pay off in the long run.”
