InDuna - Single Review: Strange Fruits
08 Sep 2021 // A review by Ben Ruegg
InDuna's approach to Hip-Hop/Rap is something that listeners should pay attention to. It fits into what kind of feels as almost progressive in regards to the styles it compasses. For example, the bells that kick of the track combined with the slow laid back beat, deep bass and ear-catching snare drum filled with reverb, all hint at what we know of trap music. But it's not. It has almost a dubstep vibe to it as well, yet it's not that either.
There is a world sound to the delivery of the vocal and the overall track which is something of a signature to InDuna's sound. This can be heard in other tracks released before. And again, like other tracks, this is catchy enough to have you singing the Strange Fruits chorus.
Minimalist, while also being full sounding, this is another release from InDuna who wants to set the record straight that he is an artist in the truest sense of the word. From the way it is produced, the lyrics, the vocal delivery.... the whole package... there is a vision heard across his tracks which is works well. Strange Fruits is another fine track to add to his growing collection.

About InDuna
Born in South Africa, he had a rough childhood spending much of his early years growing up in the slums of Johannesburg and Limpopo. After moving into an orphanage at the age of eight, he was given the opportunity at fourteen to move to New Zealand.
InDuna started his music journey when he fell in love with music for the first time after hearing Brenda Fassie’s Nomakanjani. “It felt like love at first sight, but with music.” However, he only took an interest in producing his own music after high school. For the most part, music production has been an effective therapy for him to vent his emotions and to help cope with his past and present experiences. “The reason I started doing music was because I needed a way to handle my emotions and regular therapy wasn’t doing it for me.”

Dilz - Single/Video Review: I've Been 2
05 Dec 2022 // by Ben Ruegg
Dilz' new track I've Been 2 hits hard. With a huge bass sound that doesn't overwhelm as much as it just makes you aware of its power, paired with the chimes as a hook and a powerful trap beat, I would say that this Dilz track is a statement about where he has come from and where he is now.
