It’s been a awhile since we heard from Masia One. Last month, she dropped a new music video for her track “Montreal In The Fall” off her sophomore album PULAU. The album is a collection of lyrics, samples and songs compiled over a 2 year period in her travels as an international artist, showcasing the rapper more experienced and with fine tuned lyrical skills. P U L A U, the Malaysian word for “The Islands”, begins its journey in Singapore, the place of Masia’s birth. She explores her roots in South East Asia and witnesses the growth of Hip hop in the Malaysian, Indonesian and Chinese cultural communities.

Now positioned to take on Hollywood, Masia One is completing her latest album with Los Angeles based record label Kops & Robbers. Grammy award winning producer Che Vicious has crafted an album that features Masia’s remarkable flow over highly infectious dancehall, electro and dance rhythms. As Dr. Dre’s right handman, Che has worked with everyone from Lauryn Hill, Jay Z and Eminem to name a few. This much anticipated release will catapult Masia One into the mainstream as this Singapore-Canadian girl becomes a household name for urban music internationally.

Montreal In The Fall by Masia One

Baiyu released her first ever EP “B-Side.” The five track album is being distributed by JMD/Universal. Baiyu explains that “This project has its roots in not only my musical core, but in my personal experiences. Each song can be tied to such specific moments in my life that I almost feel a kind of nakedness in sharing them with others. Yet, I remind myself that this very fact is what is most exciting about the release, and is what I, and my fans, have been waiting for.” “B-Side” is a unique fusion of 90’s inspired R&B and synth pop with singer/songwriter underpinnings, not unlike Baiyu’s upbringing and primary influences. The entire album was written solely by Baiyu, and sung in her own words. Here’s the track listing:

1. B-Side
2. Sweet Misery
3. Don’t Cry
4. Foolish
5. Tomorrow’s Another Day

As a small token of appreciation for supporting her, here is a free download to one of her favorite songs on the EP, “Foolish” here. In the recent months, Baiyu has gained notoriety for her music being featured by Funkmaster Flex, Karen Civil, You Heard That New, R&B Xclusive, and landing on the homepage of The Source.
