Mixtape: OZ Sparx - Vibin, Slidin, N' Connivin

Meek Mill-approved recording artist and Philly native, OZ Sparx (@OZSparx) releases his highly anticipated Vibin, Slidin, N' Connivin project. Equipped with features from Warner Records signee 2KBABY (@2kBaby) and 510 Music Group label mate JGreen (@JGreen510), the 18-track body of work gives a first hand account of what it's like to grow up as a youth in the crime ridden city. The 48-minute audio manifesto finds Sparx paying homage to 76ers' point guard A.I. on "Iverson," addressing drug abuse and it's sideeffects with "Prescriptions" as well as tackling the subject of mass murder per "Dead Bodies." 

Born Shem Adams, OZ Sparx, is a Pennsylvania based hip hop act. Influenced by genre giants like Future, Drake, Playboi Carti and Chief Keef, in addition to local legends like Lil Uzi Vert and Meek Mill, at age 15 he left school and took on music full time. Originally known for his affiliation with OBH head honcho AR-AB, Sparx eventually found a home at 510 Music Group.

🎥 Lourdiz Taps 6lack Director For "Somersault"

Mexican-American vocalist/songwriter, Lourdiz (@lourdiz) follows up her well received collaborations with Lil Gotit and Jon Z with a brand new visual. Titled "Somersault," the music video for the bass-heavy bop was directed by JMP (@ualreadyknowJMP), most known for his cinematic creations with Roddy Rich as well as 6LACK, and finds the teenage talent sharing the screen with family and local community members. 

Speaking about the new clip, Lourdiz states "Growing up in the hood, I learned early to keep my eyes wide open and my mouth shut: no habla inglés. When I wrote ‘Somersault’, the first line ‘can’t keep my eyes closed’ speaks to that and my present journey living in LA now. I have to be sharp all the time to figure out my surroundings and what’s my next move."
