Best Rick Ross Songs of All Time – Top 5 Tracks

/in /by

Rick Ross defines Miami rap. He was in the national spotlight with “Hustlin'”, the platinum introduction to a uniquely larger-than-life character with gruffly delivered tales about the spoils and pitfalls of drug trafficking. The rapper became not only a hip-hop fixture but an unlikely pop star as well. Debut smash Port of Miami, and all nine of Ross’ subsequent studio albums, including the Grammy-nominated God Forgives, I Don’t (2012) and Port of Miami 2 (2019), have entered the Top Ten of the Billboard 200, promoted with high-rolling, RIAA-certified singles such as “The Boss” and “Aston Martin Music.”

Through his own label, Maybach Music — the name of which has been imprinted on virtually every Ross recording since 2009 — Ross has boosted the careers of fellow artists such as Gunplay, Wale, and Meek Mill. His multitude of guest verses have likewise supported hits by the likes of DJ Khaled (beginning with “We Takin’ Over”), Kanye West (“Monster”), Maybach’s French Montana (“Pop That”), Ace Hood (“Bugatti”), and Chris Brown (“New Flame”).

In 2019 Rick Ross released his highly anticipated album, Port of Miami 2. The sequel to his debut continued his career-long streak of Top Ten albums and was his most personal recording yet, reflecting upon the death of longtime associate and manager Black Bo and a personal health scare, two major setbacks he had experienced the previous year. The album’s Drake-assisted single “Gold Roses” scored a nomination for Best Rap Song in the 2020 Grammy Awards.

You can watch this Miami icon perform his hit songs in Las Vegas at Light and Daylight. You can check out the events at Light Here and Daylight Here.

Best Cheat Codes Songs of All Time – Top 5 Tracks

/in /by

Los Angeles-based electronic trio Cheat Codes debuted in 2015 with their single “Visions,” a floor-filling, radio-ready bite of house in a vein similar to Avicii and Swedish House Mafia. Each of the group’s three members — Matthew Russell, Trevor Dahl, and Kevin Ford — has deep roots in L.A., working on individual projects before joining forces for Cheat Codes (Dahl once performed as singer/songwriter Pluginstereo).

Their different backgrounds helped inform Cheat Codes’ stylistically varied sound, which can range from warm pop to outright big house bangers. After the release of “Visions,” they quickly followed with the tropical-tinged “Don’t Say No” (featuring Dresses), “Senses” (featuring Lostboycrow), and “Adventure” (featuring Evan Gartner).

As they gained exposure on social media and spins on streaming services, they joined The Chainsmokers on tour. Successive singles continued to drop in 2016, when they unveiled a pair of global hits: the Top Ten, multi-platinum “Sex” (featuring Kris Kross Amsterdam) and “Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)” (with Dante Klein).

The following year they released their biggest feature yet, “No Promises” with Demi Lovato on vocals, and embarked on the No Promises world tour (taking them to the U.S., Europe, and Australia). The single was certified platinum in Australia, the U.S., and around Europe, peaking in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. They followed their Lovato hit with “Feels Great,” which featured Fetty Wap and CVBZ, and “Put Me Back Together” with Kiiara.

In 2018, singles like “NSFW” (with Danny Quest) and “Balenciaga” maintained their exposure, while the trio provided remixes for high-profile singles by Thirty Seconds to Mars (“Dangerous Night”), U2 (“Love Is Bigger Than Anything in Its Way”), and Sean Paul (“Mad Love”).

After issuing their first official EP, Level 1, that summer, they released additional singles “Home” and “Feeling of Falling” with Kim Petras. The following year saw the arrival of the Level 2 EP, which featured guest spots from the likes of Trixie, Afrojack, Kaskade, and more

Best Kygo Songs of All Time – Top 5 Tracks

/in /by

Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, better known by his stage name Kygo, is a Norwegian DJ, songwriter and record producer. He garnered international attention with his December 2013 remix of the track “I See Fire” by Ed Sheeran and his December 2014 single “Firestone”. In late 2015, he became the fastest artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify, and by June 2016, he had reached 2 billion streams on Spotify.

Kygo has since released several singles, such as “Stole the Show”, “Here for You” and “Stay” in 2015, “It Ain’t Me” in 2017 and a 2019 remix of “Higher Love” performed by Whitney Houston, all of which have debuted on several international charts. His debut album, Cloud Nine, was released on May 13, 2016.

“Carry On” is a song with British singer Rita Ora, released as a single from the soundtrack to the 2019 film, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. It has streamed 174 million times in Spotify.

On 6 December 2019, Kygo collaborated with The Chainsmokers on a track, named “Family”.

On January 20, 2020 Kygo, via his socials, teased an unreleased Avicii track known as “Forever Yours”. This track was first played by Avicii at Ultra Music Festival 2016 but never completed during his lifetime so Kygo gave his tropical touches to the song after Sandro Cavazza his fellow collaborator sent him the track and with due consent from Tim’s family.

On March 23, 2020, Kygo announced via his social media that he had completed his third album titled Golden Hour. The first single, “Like It Is” with Zara Larsson and Tyga, was released on 27 March 2020.

Kygo’s stage name is derived from the first 2 letters of his first and last names, and he got the idea for the name after a school computer system automatically generated the word “Kygo” as his login username.
