Shirazee feat. Sarz - African in New York

Born in Benin, schooled in Ghana, pulled into the bustle of the UK, South Africa and Paris, singer-songwriter Shirazee found himself in Atlanta with nothing but trialing experiences and a dream of fracturing the juggernaut that is the rap industry. Though vitally settled in the city that bled rap music, a new path would take shape that would soon define his career. That path was songwriting. Though ingrained in his DNA through countless years of artistry, surrendering the pen to the needs of other artists was uncharted territory. This soon led to his departure from the city that represented what seemed like his lifelong dream to the city that sculpts, chisels and molds it. While opportunity was deep-seated in the concrete arms of the rigorous goliath, New York tested Shirazee’s resilience. Overcoming homelessness he soon signed his first publishing deal and found himself at the helm of songs by artists like Sting, Afrojack, Ty Dolla $ign, Girl’s Generation to name a few, While vindicating and fruitful, these opportunities were outweighed by the pendulum that swung in the direction of his undying dream of domineering the stage.

Atrocity - Sound of Silence

 Atrocity es una banda de heavy metal alemana, procedente de Ludwigsburg. comenzó siendo una banda de death metal melódico. Su debut discográfico se dio en 1989 con el EP Blue Blood, seguido de un álbum conceptual sobre el uso de drogas llamado Hallucinations. Su segundo álbum, Todessehnsucht ("Hambre de muerte"), los depositó directamente en el death metal. Este álbum incluía un cover de la canción "Archangel" de la banda Death. Su género musical varió a lo largo de los años, hasta llegar al descubrimiento de influencias sobre lo medieval y el terror en su álbum conceptual basado en el mito del Conde Dracula, Atrocity's Blut, llamado así a partir de la película Drácula de 1994. Su siguiente álbum, Calling The Rain, fue un álbum con voces femeninas y temas acústicos.​ El lanzamiento de 1996, Willenskraft, introdujo elementos industriales, y el CD bonus de la edición especial del álbum (Kraft und Wille) incluyó versiones electrónicas de los temas. Sus siguientes lanzamientos fueron cada vez menos influenciados por el metal: Werk 80 incluyó versiones de clásicos de los 80's llevando a la banda a experimentar con sonidos ajenos al metal y a dar un paso adelante en la evolución conceptual de la agrupación alejándolos de los clichés típicos del metal extremo. De esta forma los cambios de géneros y las canciones experimentales (como las versiones de Lili Marlene) generaron el alejamiento de la banda de varios de sus fanes. Luego del año 2000, se supo poco de Atrocity, dando la impresión que la banda se había separado. A pesar de esto, volvieron luego de cuatro años con un nuevo disco, Atlantis. Este fue nuevamente un álbum conceptual, basado en los mitos del continente hundido de Atlantis. El álbum incluyó las voces de la esposa de Alexander, Liv-Kristine Espanaes Krull (cantante de Theatre of Tragedy). Atrocity participó en el soundtrack de la película Watchmen, con su cover de la canción Sound of Silence de Simon & Garfunkel.
