FFA & 4REIGN RECORDS PRESENTS- BON APPETIT BY NATHAN MILES FT KYAZZE

No more games, FFA AND 4REIGN Records are here to drop bangers and bangers only. To start things off Nathan Miles is back with some new music. Trap Valley was nice but it's time to pull up the socks. Miles delivers a perfect melody from start to finish. The theme of the songs seems to be, everybody wants to eat well. Nathan has his grillz shining, while enjoying the mouth watering food from the King Eddy.  For his first feature he has created something truly special with the FFA CEO, Matt Kyazze.

The last time we saw Mr.Kyazze was back in November 2019, when he released his first Music Video to his single McLovin ft. Black Iri$h. 

Kyazze expresses a different vibe in Bon Appetit with Nathan Miles. He experiments with a Jazz/Rnb feel to it, which fits the part perfectly. Expect more music from these two together and separately! 
Check out the video below if you didn't watch the video at the top. Cameos from Vctr, Cicaeda, New Age Hip, and Bait James.

Most of you know Young Astronomer by his music created in the hiphop collective SWiFTcrew which began in early February 2013 (with songs like Rollin’, ILYMJ, Party Gods, Munchies & their debut song “SWiFT living” how we could forget) or when they rocked a sold out show with Machine Gun Kelly at Algonquin Commons Theatre back in 16’, it’s no question that 2019 is the year big things start to happen.

Word on the street is that Young Astronomer is taking the next chapter to focus on his solo career and release his highly anticipated 3rd body of work “Against All Odds” which will consist of 6 songs and be released later in the year.
If you haven’t heard about the artist that hits so close to home, be sure to check out his previously released EP’s My Thoughts Exactly (2015) & Dreams in Space v1 (2017) and his latest 2019 singles Awoken, Luxury and of course his hit song Mix It Up which recently garnered over 100,000 views on all platforms just recently and shows real promise of success for the young rapper.
Bottom line, if you haven’t checked out Young Astronomer live in concert yet or heard any of his music, we strongly suggest you do cause he’s a real star in the making, we caught up with him last week and he had this to say: “it’s all a process, I’m just happy I have the outlets to express how I’m feeling and how I’m doing with my music.. if you’ve been feeling me and my tunes I really appreciate that, cause it’s real and like my music it’ll always be genuine so thank you everyone, I can’t wait to drop this new music, be sure to check me out on July 26th”.

Milez Stxne releases his first EP "KEYS"

By Matthew Kyazze

Milez Stxne releases his first EP

KEYS is an introduction to Milez Stxne as an artist, a 20 minute ‘wave.’ This project was created with a certain vibe in mind - aimed towards a dark, late night, faded, trap feel.

Born in Ottawa, Milez grew up in South Keys - Trappers Park area. “My environment where I grew up, where I stay had and will always have a big influence on my music, that was my driving force behind keys,” says Milez Stxne.

My favourite track on the EP has to be Woods - a blunt smoking turn up session. It’s no surprise that I partake in the “herb” every now and then (..daily? - who we kidding). Definitely going to be on the set list when you come out to a Stxne show, especially outdoor venues! #kushclouds

Talking about shows be sure to check out Milez Stxne first live performance in Ottawa. 
Saturday, December 15th @ Avant Garde Bar (Doors at 7pm)
He will be performing singles off the ‘KEYS’ EP and dropping some new-new off his highly anticipated debut album ‘Trap Valley’ estimated release: Summer ‘19. (oops #leaked)
