Da Real EKG – Thing 4 You
Da Real EKG has finger on the pulse of music with new single ‘Thing 4 You’
DOTHAN, AL – An EKG machine is a medical device that keeps up with the electric pulses of the human body. Da Real EKG is an artist who offers the same for the music industry. He has his finger on the pulse of music and his unique sound and style are providing a fresh perspective in a time desperate for originality.
His latest single, “Thing 4 You” is a perfect example of this original sound and style. Opening with R&B harmonies and a smooth, mid-tempo flow, this song has a sway to it that cannot be denied. Showcasing his deep voice – both as a singer and a rapper – the song is one that perfectly fuses R&B and Rap in ways that are truly one-of-a-kind. The track features fellow artists A.M. and T-Blak, and was created a couple of years ago but has only recently seen wide distribution after a re-release from the label.
“We were all stuck in the studio one day and somebody had a beat and we were all hearing the same thing over and over again and when I finally got a chance to spit it out, it came out great,” EKG said. “It’s all of us telling our own unique love stories. At the time I had met someone that I wanted to show the world to, but not give her the world. But it was one of those relationships that I knew wasn’t gonna work out. A.M., on the other hand, is rapping about someone he wants to give the world to Overall, it’s a love vibe and everything is so vibrant and in tune to the moment.”
The single is one that is true to his trajectory as an artist. After releasing his first single “The Love Letter,” his career has made a steady rise over the past few years. He released an album in 2017 called “Lit at the 30” which has seen success across all streaming platforms. And more recently, he’s been preparing to release his new album “The Struggle” which will break down a lot of urban stereotypes and talk about his current position and the challenges he’s faced to get to where he is today in his career.
“A lot of people go too deep into it and say that their situation has to be a product of their environment,” EKG said. “I have had a mentor growing up who is no longer with us, and he taught me that you have to change the notion that you have to be a stereotype or a statistic or a product of your environment. You don’t have to be that. You can be different. For me, that meant getting in the studio and finishing off this album and showing the world how to do things a different way.”
The album should release this fall, EKG said. In the meantime, “Thing 4 You” is available across all streaming platforms.

(Video) HoodTrophy Bino – “By Your Side” @binngobino
Hoodtrophy Bino just dropped a heart melting new video for “By Your Side” from his new album HoodTrophy. This emotional track serves as a love letter to his daughter Milliani and his family, showcasing the artist’s personal journey and deep family connections as he embarks on a new chapter in his career and life.
The music video for “By Your Side” was filmed in Chicago where Bino received the Community Awareness Award at the Tylerman Social Awareness Film Festival – one of the 61 awards that his documentary HoodTrophy Bino: Breaking the Generational Curse, has received so far in the festival circuit. Even the video shoot became a family affair, with Bino’s extended family in attendance including his 86-year-old grandmother, a former Black Panther member, whose presence added a powerful generational dimension to the project.
“By Your Side” stands as a testament to the enduring power of family bonds and the resilience of the human spirit. Through his music and visual storytelling, HoodTrophy Bino continues to bridge personal narrative with broader themes of social justice, creating work that is both intimately touching and universally relevant. In a separate but related achievement, Bino’s documentary won Best Short Documentary at the Black August Film Festival. This annual event, which began as a prison-based observance, commemorates Black freedom fighters and political prisoners while highlighting Black resistance against racial oppression. The festival’s origins can be traced back to 1979 when it was initiated by the Black Guerilla Family in San Quentin State Prison – the same institution where Bino’s father is currently serving a life sentence.
Hoodtropy Bino is gearing up to release his second full-length and is currently on a North American tour with Bravo the Bagchaser followed by 19 tour dates with Soulja Boy.
