XnationalZ – NeVeRTHELess (EP)
XnationalZ, the group project of Los Angeles’ producer/ rapper iota_arcane and producer Namo, releases their latest effort “NeveRTHELess”.
Entirely produced by Namo and written by iota_arcane, this release is an intellectual journey of thought and wordplay and a unique approach to entertainment.
Iota_arcane’s curious way of storytelling stands out so much that the words on
NeVeRTHELess were printed in a limited run of poetry books to go along with a small production of cassette tapes (available via Bandcamp). The poetry book has an extra poem that didn’t make the final music project but was all penciled in while sky starring on iota’s stoop.

Strat – D and D
Nationality: Black, Native American and White
About:
“If you don’t believe in your own Greatness, no one else will,” -Kevin Hart
Greatness is something many people think of as an actual object, to be obtained and held.
At times… the concept can get misconstrued; greatness is actually derived from the journey, and not the
result.
Strat was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. Being a minority, his heritage includes
Black, Native American, and White. Strat never felt like he fit in a place where diversity was lacking. It
started with a small clique, and a best friend, rapping for fun. His love for music came at a young age,
with some of Raps Golden Age greats like 2pac, Biggie, Snoop, and Nas, just to name a few. They showed
Strat what could be done, with their lyrical prowess and messages in their music. Records that his dad
left behind would mesmerize him. Thus the very beginning of his artists roots began, with rap battles at
parties, recording and writing lyrics, as Strat’s teenage years faded away.
Though the cultural difficulties
were very present in his environment, Strat never forgets where he comes from. With him being
“different” there was a strength instilled in him, embracing who he was… a rebel mentality so to speak.
Yet, every step is an evolution.
The next step began in Denver, CO. This is where Strat became a man…where he discovered
himself. Within a few years of moving there, he had networked and made some friends in the game. The
old school hustle began with mixtapes “Stratman Begins” and “Stratman Returns”, as his music and
grind hit the streets of Denver. The ups and downs of life went by, as Strat dropped lines along the way,
helping others relate to the struggles of life, through his muse, while still having his own. After years of
patience and perseverance, Strat made his next big move with one of the city’s biggest underground
labels. He signed on board and went to work. Recording, doing shows, music videos, you name it. It
allowed Strat to reach a whole new audience and flourish. Strat really honed his skills, but even as
success started to find him, personal challenges were always there.
Often with artists the listeners pay more attention to the music than to the artist and their
struggles. Certainly, everyone has their demons, and artists are no exception. As Strat found some
success in the Rap game, his personal battle with alcoholism was there in the forefront. Strat believes
that everything happens for a reason, and so as his addiction completely took over, it was time to take
his next step in evolution. Heading back to Rapid City after 15 years in Denver, and now living a sober
life, Strat has reached his next step in ascension as an artist. Having overcome his ruthless and damaging
habit, the last few years has been about harvesting his creativity, manifesting art that is diverse and
versatile. He is blazing a comeback trail that no one has ever seen. His journey is a reminder that
greatness is not found at the end, but within the process. As Strat strategizes his next move…his love for
music, Hip Hop culture, Rap, and expression continues to bleed into his rhymes. He’s hopeful to provide
you with something you can relate to, and enjoy.
Q: How would you describe your music to someone?
A: “Something for everybody, all walks of life. Something everybody can relate to. It’s about honesty, it’s
real, my real life, the ups and downs, the good and the bad.
Def-I – “Oceans Deserted – The Remixes”
About:
At the onset of highly respected New Mexico artist Def-i’s tour for his latest album, Deserted Oceans, the global pandemic hit and upended life as we know it. Def-i’s planned tour didn’t make it beyond his album release party. Although he could no longer share his music live with the world, he and recurring collaborator, Ariano, saw an opportunity to bring fans something unexpected. The duo flipped the script and prepare to drop a revamped version of the album, bringing you Oceans Deserted – The Remixes.

Oceans Deserted-The Remixes reimagines all of the original tracks from Deserted Oceans and serves up new sounds and vibes, sometimes presenting Def-i in a way that fans have never before heard him. Take “Woke Up Late” with LA’s Josh Dominguez on the hook – Def-i’s delivery takes on distinctly seductive vibe, a surprising departure from his usual stylings. New voices enter the fray on the album as well, with talented newcomer Sage Price dropping the hook on “Giving Thanks.” As an added bonus, Def-i and Ariano give listeners a brand new track with “American Quarantine.”
The message in the songs remains as powerful, but the sound is refreshed with Ariano’s production morphing from traditional hip hops beats into a more rock-driven platform that makes Oceans Deserted – The Remixes an entirely new experience to immerse yourself in.
