We’re barely into 2020 but no one tell BLVK JVCK – the fierce artist known for seamlessly fusing dubstep and hip-hop into a new genre all his own is kicking off the year with yet another banger called “LUCKY,” which is out today through Big Beat Records alongside its subversive music video. Featuring the uncompromising rapper Tay Money, “LUCKY” is a hard-hitting track that could only come from the mind of Jermaine “Mayne Zayne” Jackson (aka BLVK JVCK himself), who rose to power as a producer on DJ Khaled’s team and from bring one of the legendary production members of The Runners. Following in the footsteps of his previous bruising singles, the production on “LUCKY” is as punishing as it gets, and Tay Money’s ceaseless flow carries the track from start to end.

Mayne cuts his teeth in creating hit club records for the biggest names in music, but he’s also been releasing banger after banger as BLVK JVCK since 2017. He was behind the sonic innovation on hit singles “Go Hard” (DJ Khaled) and “Hustlin” (Rick Ross) as producers, amongst a vast library of tracks for artists including Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Lil’ Wayne, Usher, Fabolous, and Fat Joe. BLVK JVCK has now entered a new era with fresh ears, complete with an official remix for Bruno Mars’ global smash “That’s What I Like” while also having worked with collaborators like Flosstradamus, Jessie Reyez, Ace Hood and H.E.R.

With a string of undeniable hits in a relatively short amount of time and even more new music on the horizon (keep your ears peeled for a potential EP with many more collaborative tracks), 2020 is the year that BLVK JVCK takes over.

The post BLVK JVCK GETS LUCKY IN 2020 appeared first on Shane the Gamer.

The accompanying video (above) chronicles how quickly the worst bad day can become a good one, whilst taking a tour of the band’s hometown of Wollongong’s lesser known sites.

Returning with their quirky melodic grunge, TOTTY today announce the lush and relatable new single ‘Lucky’.

In contrast to their usual raucous tracks, Lucky is a standout. Slower than expected its still replete with grungy guitar and head thumping drums – it’s sure to be a crowd favourite live. Produced by Brett Jansch (Dune Rats) and engineered by Jack Nigro (DMA’s, Skeggs) at The Grove studio, it’s a far cry from the sheds they began in.

Ruminating on the ups and downs of life, front-woman Kelly says of the track “Lucky is written as a response to anyone who has ever told you that you shouldn’t be proud about your achievements or hard work. A lot of times it’s easy to doubt yourself when people are putting you down, and we hope the song can make people realise “Nah fuck that, I worked hard for this!”.

Hailing from Wollongong, the female-fronted surf punk trio revealed their debut EP ‘Cut The Poppies’ in May 2018, featuring breakout single ‘Uncomfortable’ which was swiftly added to rotation on triple j and included on a swag of Spotify curated playlists.

No stranger to the live circuit, TOTTY have delivered energetic sets at a raft of festivals including Yours & Owls, Grow Your Own, Fairgrounds, Falls Festival and Farmer & The Owl whilst simultaneously touring nationally with the likes of Hockey Dad and Slowly Slowly – ensuring their upcoming shows will be equally captivating.

Be sure to catch their electric stage presence on the road with Skeggs as they tour nationally this July (2019).
