JUAN HUEVOS
(Chapel Hill; Grip tapes)
Website

Juan Huevos, known to his fans and friends as J Waves, is a young buck dumb fuck. A CEO of the bedroom rap scene, an untalented white guy of the synth production scene, an underwear model of the music scene. Drunk off a fantasy world that mimics reality, the kid J Waves is crying one moment, flying high the next, charming his way into young hearts and not knowing what to do once he gets there.

Lo-fi beats when made by hand, hi-fi raps about things you can relate to.
Hi-fi beats when fucking with French electro producers or tall, black underground legends, lo-fi dirty south spits on some definite G shit. Like,
what exactly are you looking for here? Do you even know? Juan Huevos can deliver. He's happiest when it's simple, but we can go tech, oh yes we can. Maybe even sing a little.

Light one up (but not with Waves, he'll be too freaked out to leave the
house and you'll just be sitting there, hearing him talk about himself while
he pretends to be a good listener) and check out what it means to recognize real, because there is nothing fake about this guy. Egotistical as hell and revealing. A sense of entitlement dished out onto a plate of self-deprecation. Served hot. Eat it up, sucka.

 

LONNIE WALKER
(Raleigh; DiggUp Tapes)
Facebook Page
Bandcamp Page

Originally a one-man band, Lonnie Walker evolved from the solo spirit of Brian Corum into a collection of friends bound by their shared passion for music and visual art. After years of honing their sound while playing house shows and DIY spaces in Greenville, NC- Lonnie Walker garnered local support from classmates and peers immediately. Through the additions of Eric Hill, Justin Flythe, Raymond Finn, and Josh Bridgers; Lonnie Walker’s music has evolved through their many ever-sharpening performances. Their chemistry resonates through their most recent recorded works unlike anything the band has turned in to date. Their blend of rootsy americana and dance-party punk-rock has proven effective in its sound, leaving you with a sense that this is a band moving towards a broad horizon.

HIDDEN CAT
