Fresh Buds – Vol. 5

Fresh Buds is a new series on Daily Chiefers that takes an inside look at budding artists making waves on the internet. We focus on what’s important—the music, and less on the numbers. Read on to find out which new artists we think are bringing a fresh sound to their respective genres. Stay tuned for more!

Stan Sono

Stan Sono is a rising Chicago artist that is absolutely killing it right now. Stan has been consistently putting out great music for the past couple months. In addition to being an incredible singer/rapper Stan has also produced a handful of tracks for other Chicago artists. This kid is talented and should not be slept on. Check out his latest single “Damelo” now.

Nite Swim

Nite Swim is a mysterious electronic leaning R&B duo. There is not much else known about this group besides the fact that they keep putting out catchy electric tracks that will make you feel good. This group is quickly making waves on the internet and is popping up on more playlists every day. With only three tracks on their soudncloud, this group is a definitely a force to reckon with as we head toward the end of the year.

Alex Mali

Alex Mali is the dopest artist I’ve listened to this month. It’s a shame her music hasn’t gotten more attention because she is making some fresh songs that everyone needs to hear. The Brooklyn raised singer/rapper follows up her smash “Facts Only” with a soulful freestyle that showcases her incredible voice. One listen will leave you hook and digging through her soundcloud for more music where you will find she’s been featured on tracks with other New York rappers such as Nyck Caution and HDBEENDOPE. Check out her latest release now.

CHRIS MILES

Rising New York artist Chirs Miles is on a wave right now. He has been on a roll for the past 2 months releasing a slew of tracks that will have you bobbing your head along. Chris has been putting in work for a few years now and its really starting to pay off. His music is some of the best stuff I’ve hear this week. Y’all need to stop sleeping and check his music out. Check out his latest release titled “All I Want.”

Jelani Aryeh

17yr old rising star from Compton, CA is bringing some of the freshest sounds to the internet lately. The genre bending artist mixes a bit of pop, singing, and rapping on his latest project. It’s hard to categorize his music and its awesome. Jelani will not be put in a box with his music. His debut project Suburban Destinesia is starting to gain buzz on the internet and he will continue to be one to watch through the rest of this year. Listen to one of my favorites off the project and check out the rest on his soundcloud.
