Social House

You may have heard of the name after their collaboration with pop princess Ariana Grande, but the duo known as Social House also undoubtedly hold their own as a group. The pop duo from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania were stand-alone writers and producers  who were working with Grande all the way back in 2015, before being bought together as a duo and signed by Scooter Braun & Interscope in 2018. They’ve have been biding their time, releasing a plethora of music ranging from upbeat R&B numbers to sweet heartfelt ballads. With the release of their new EP ‘Everything Changed…’ as well as joining Ari on her ‘Sweetener’ world tour, Social House are more than ready for their time in the spotlight – and so are their ever growing fan base.

 

Denzel Curry

Denzel Curry caught the attention of the music world when his high energy track ‘Ultimate’ came onto the scene, boosting him into the spotlight in 2015 at the young age of 20. This was not a case of getting lucky on the first go – the Florida native started rapping in sixth grade and put out his first album at just eighteen. Fast forward to 2019, Curry has had one of his biggest years to date. In 2018, he shared a prolific three part album ‘TA1300’, which showed a dark but in depth understanding of the modern world, a welcome addition to his discography. Come May 2019, he shared ‘ZUU’, another personal album where Denzel Curry impressed the world with his story telling and impeccable freestyles. In addition to touring the world (he was a guest of pop superstar Billie Eilish), becoming an essential in the festival circuit (most recently, an electrifying set at Lollapalooza) and collaborating with the best in the field like A$AP Ferg, Rick Ross, and JID, Denzel Curry is quickly becoming one of the most talented rappers that lives up to his own hype.
