Interview with Cairo Snow

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc.?

I’m an artist who has been pursuing my craft for seven years, and I come from a extremely supportive Jamaican Canadian home that has grown me, shown love and helped me become who I am today.

Q: You’ve achieved international radio play across Brazil, the UK, Sweden, US, France and other countries. How did that happen?

It really comes down to having a strong team and staying consistent. My team believes in the vision and works hard behind the scenes, and I focus on delivering the best music I can. We treat this seriously, not like a hobby.

Q: Could you please let us know more about your new single “Seasons”?

“Seasons” is about feeling stuck in a loop like you’re replaying the same challenges over and over and wanting to break free from that cycle. It’s about growth. This song is about being stuck in that same patch and remaining determined to overcome.

Q: How do you stay creative and disciplined while balancing school, life and music?

I take things one step at a time. When I’m at school, I focus on school. When I’m creating, I lock in. If I feel overwhelmed, I pause and reset. Discipline is important to me because talent without discipline doesn’t last.

Q: What has been one of the most exciting moments of your career so far?

One of the most exciting moments was being at Scotiabank Arena during the Wu-Tang Final Chamber Tour in Toronto, when RZA pulled me on stage in front of 19,000 people. That moment felt unreal. It reminded me that the work I’ve been putting in since I was little is real and being recognized.

Q: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

My next goal is to continue growing in music and reach more people with my message. I want to inspire others  especially young people to stay disciplined, stay creative, and believe in their vision even when it’s different.

Q: What motivates you to do your best work?

A powerful beat and a meaningful message. When those two things come together, it pushes me to create something special. I don’t just want to make songs I want to make music that connects and lasts.

Q: Did you choose this industry as a career, or as a hobby?

I chose this as a career. It’s beyond a hobby for me. I’ve had a passion for music since I was very young, and I made a promise to myself that I would take it seriously. I’m committed to building something long-term.

Q: What’s been your most successful song so far and why do you think people resonated with it?

“My most successful song so far is ‘I Should’ve Known.’ It’s received strong radio play and streaming support internationally. I think people resonated with it because it’s emotional and real. It speaks about reflection and growth  something everyone can relate to.”

Q: Are you active on social media?

Yes! You can find me on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram @cairo.snow where I share music, performances, and behind-the-scenes content

Darrell Kelley | Sick of This

Boston-born, Atlanta-based singer, songwriter, and social activist Darrell Kelley has released a powerful new single, “Sick of This._ 

Lyrically, “Sick of This” continues Kelley’s long-running focus on social justice and community uplift. The song speaks directly to cycles of violence in marginalized communities, urging listeners to put the guns down, recognize their heritage, and “start spreading love” instead of blood. Throughout the lyrics he ties pride in African and African-American history to a call for unity, imagining hugs and compassion where there are now headlines about loss, and framing love and solidarity as the true inheritance from “kings and queens” and ancestors who “gave us it all.” 

The single is available on all major streaming platforms.

A performance video and official uploads on YouTube are already drawing views in the six-figure range only weeks after release, suggesting the message is resonating with a growing audience. 

On Instagram, Kelley has also previewed lines from the track alongside a plea to “stop shedding your own blood” and choose love instead, underscoring the anti-violence stance at the heart of the song. 

“Sick of This” follows a string of socially conscious releases such as “Drones” and “I Rebuke You,” which take on issues ranging from government accountability to police brutality. Together with those tracks, the new single reinforces Darrell Kelley’s profile not just as a recording artist, but as a spiritual leader and activist who uses modern gospel, hip hop, and R&B to call for justice, understanding, acceptance, and unity.

Chasing Rainbows | Julian Tcherassi

Julian Tcherassi is a singer/songwriter who’s been playing guitar (classical, flamenco, rock) and composing for 18 years, and you can hear every mile of that journey in his new track “Chasing Rainbows.” His influences don’t just “show up” in the song—they collide in the best way, forming this rare blend of classical fingerstyle precision, flamenco strumming, guitar solos, and vocals delivered with authentic intensity. He’s also the founder of MagikTea, a healthy Palo Azul tea brand now in 1,000+ stores nationwide, which makes his story even wilder: this is a builder who already proved he can turn a dream into reality, and now he’s bringing that same energy to music.

https://open.spotify.com/track/2x44PdbAE7VLc4IIwugQgT

“Chasing Rainbows” is honestly unlike anything I’ve heard in a long time. It doesn’t sit politely inside one genre or chase whatever’s trending—it feels handcrafted, fearless, and alive. The guitar work is the first thing that grabs you: Julian plays with a level of control and aggression that’s rare, switching from delicate, intricate melodies to explosive flamenco strumming without losing clarity. It’s the kind of playing that makes you rewind a section just to figure out what he just played and enjoy it over and over again. Then the vocals hit—powerful, raw, and emotional—like the song isn’t being performed, it’s being confessed.

What makes the track special is how much motion it carries. It surges, it breathes, it builds; it has urgency. The message lands hard because the music embodies it: chase your dreams no matter what, because tomorrow isn’t promised, so you might as well give it everything today. You can feel that philosophy in every choice, from the rhythmic drive to the dramatic lift of the arrangement—passion and discipline in the same breath.

If “Chasing Rainbows” is your first introduction to Julian Tcherassi, it won’t be your last. This is the sound of someone who has lived the leap, paid the price, and came back with something to say—and he says it with a unique guitar & voice combination that is completely his own.

George Jacobs presents: Faith Over Fear

An inspirational rap and rock hybrid that turns spiritual conviction into confrontation with doubt.

On Faith Over Fear, George Jacobs treats hip hop not only as a vehicle for rhythm and rhyme, but as a platform for testimony. The solo artist leans into a blend of trap percussion, melodic rap, and alternative rock energy, framing his faith as something active and defiant in the face of anxiety and uncertainty. The track clocks in at three minutes, yet it packs a clear narrative arc that moves from reflection to declaration.

The song opens with a gentle string-based sample that sets a calm and reflective tone. This introduction quickly gives way to a modern trap beat, where crisp hi-hats and steady kicks underline George’s delivery. His vocal approach shifts between rhythmically tight verses and more melodic lines, giving the track a sense of motion without overcrowding the arrangement. The production stays deliberately lean, leaving space around the voice so that the message remains the focal point.

Lyrically, Faith Over Fear is centered on devotion to Jesus Christ, and on the idea that belief can override intimidation, doubt, and spiritual paralysis. George writes from an openly evangelical perspective, pointing toward salvation through Christ and emphasizing that faith is both evidence and anchor in unseen realities. Rather than hiding this behind metaphor, he keeps the language direct, which reinforces the sense that the track is meant as outreach as much as self-expression.

Although George Jacobs describes his work as inspired by the Holy Spirit rather than other artists, listeners familiar with early 2000s rap rock may pick up on a kinship with acts like Linkin Park, especially in the way melody, spoken cadence, and heavy rhythm intersect. In the end, Faith Over Fear stands as a concise statement of belief from George Jacobs, pairing contemporary production with a clear spiritual call.
