Hmm... Uche

Apple Music slid Uche’s “wishin on a star” straight onto their BASE:LINE playlist at #36, and my radar immediately started twitching. If you haven’t caught wind yet, the Chicago-born, Lagos-raised, LA-based creative specializes in cinematic, abrasive dark R&B laced with heavy 808s. He recently rolled out *HOW TO DIE*, the first side of his double album, channeling everything from Nigerian church choir roots to raw Chicago grit. It feels moody, sharp, and totally calculated. When curated playlists start quietly making room for a sound this disruptive, you pay attention. Go tap in before everyone else catches up.
