Fadetheblackk drops new heat!
This Bronx rapper has received many cosigns early, What’s not to like about a track like Visions – a simple, organic soundscape, spacious and humble, hopeful; a set of leading voices with a smooth sense of confidence, delivering a set of lyrics intended to inspire and calm and motivate. All of this and more, plus the fact that the song carefully walks the line between that which is familiar, comforting, and that which is fresh; new and exciting.
Fadetheblackk and b*star collaborate on this release to showcase the best of their abilities, but this is just something you naturally take away from the single – this is not what it’s inherently about. Visions isn’t an attempt to let everyone know who these artists are, it’s not a track that screams out for attention or attempts to utilize the shock factor just to gather views and likes. Far from it. Everything about this song speaks subtle volumes for the positivity and optimism within it. Sure, there’s darkness within the verses, the world’s truths are laid bare, but the hook seems to offer a sense of resolve and possibility, and the good vibes rise higher as things progress. The musical ambiance is humble, as stated, the verses and the melody unite and yet contrast just right – creating a structure that holds tight to your attention, whilst always maintaining the good vibes at the heart of the soundscape.
On top of all of this, both leading vocals offer a subtle but certain level of confidence and professionalism. It’s reliable from the offset, believable, easy to get into. The simple piano riff sets the bar at a particular height and everything else follows suit beautifully. There’s a point to the song, to the ideas expressed by it, and to the mood set by the music. It’s easy to grasp and a total pleasure to stumble upon. So much so that when the track ends, you miss that mellow groove, that rhythm and the soothing aura.
At less than three minutes long it’s almost essential to listen more than once – though of course, this is a far better effect to have on an audience than to overstay your welcome. Visions is superb, a great song and one that finds itself at the top of our main playlist for the foreseeable future.

Get to know violinist Richmond Punch
How long have you been doing what you’re doing and how did you get started in the first place?
I am been in entertainment for about 20 years. It was Dallas Public Schools that changed my life giving me a violin. The Dallas Symphony’s Young Strings trained me.
Who were the first influences on your music and style?
High School was where owned my first cds. I remember it like yesterday: Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington and Branford Marsalis with his Bloomington Trio.
In your opinion who is the most influential and successful artist in your genre today and why?
Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Jean Luc Ponty, Beyonce. Because they are really not all one singular genre. That’s the key to their success.
What aspect of the music making process excites you most, and what aspect discourages you the most?
I think like a songwriter and hope to write many songs for vocalists as well as scoring for film. This is most exciting. Discouraging, not at all
In your experience thus far, what is the best piece of advice in this business you actually followed? And one you didn’t follow, but now know for sure that you should have?
Keep life organized the best you can. A plan is the first step but a schedule is even better. I have the plan down but my wife schedules it lol.
Which ingredient do you think is most essential in making your sound and style the way it is?
I listen to tons of vocalists and instrumentalists. Sound wise I play a 5 String Yamaha Violin and love Boss effects. I really feel I have found my sound although there is always room to evolve.
What single are you currently pushing and what will you be dropping next?
3 new singles from my upcoming EP “Back that Violin Up” Taste, Mother’s Love and Back That Violin Up.
What can fans expect from you in the future and where can they stay up to date on your movement?
Fans should join my group page Flavors of America on Facebook. Also add @ViolinRichmond. My website and products can be found at GetPunched.net
