New Video: Errol Eats Everything Teams Up with Furious Evans and Blu on a Brooding, Hard-hitting Remix of “Beyond Yonder”
Errol Eats Everything is an emcee and Black entrepreneur, who’s actively trying to reshape the music landscape while enacting positive change in the community.
Released earlier this year, his self-titled album is a bold manifesto, which seems him addressing systemic injustices, personal struggle and the continuing fight for freedom and equality with the album’s material voicing the bitter frustrations of a society that routinely fails its marginalized and struggling. His work demands listeners confront the harsh realities of their life and then asks them to find the strength and resilience to raise about them, reaffirming hip-hop’s enduring power to challenge, uplift and transform.
For a period of time, the emcee and entrepreneur stepped away from music to focus on community-building, creating solutions that have positively impacted the lives of young Black people while solidifying a hard-earned role as a visionary leader.
The Beyond Yonder Remixes EP sees Errol Eats Everything collaborating with Blu, Don Von Jovi, Rome Streetz, Planet Asia, Brother Ali and a lengthy list of others on a series of remixes of Errol Eats Everything LP track “Beyond Yonder.”
While the album version of “Beyond Yonder” sees Errol Eats Everything spitting righteously conscious bars delivered with an MF DOOM-like flow over a DJ Premier-like production featuring a lush and soulful sample paired with tweeter and woofer rattling boom bap. The Furious Evans remix of “Beyond Yonder” features Errol Eats Everything and Blu trading bars over a production that retails the tweeter and woofer rattling boom bap of the original, but places it all within a brooding It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot-era DMX-like production.
Directed and edited by Marquan Ford, the accompanying video for “Beyond Yonder (Furious Evans Remix, feat. Blu) is set in a world of sex and vampires, inspired by Blade and Vampire Tales.

New Audio: Devantier Rain Teams up with kiana on Vibey “CONSERVATIVE INC.”
Devantier Rain is rising, Berlin-based Cameroonian-German singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, whose work sees him blurring the lines between R&B, hip-hop and Afrobeat paired with soulful melodies, intricate, jazz-like drums and a cutting-edge production approach. He has quickly become a standout in Berlin’s vibrant scene, playing at events like Poetry Meets alongside Tan Brown, bat zoo, Monica Mussungo and Dini Rompos.
Beyond music, Devantier Rain is a fashion world staple — as a model and stylist. Formerly signed to VIVAMODELS, he has collaborated with ADIDAS, Puma and BMW and walked for Kitschy Couture and Afrobodega at Berlin Fashion Week 2024, where he serves as in-house model.
Adding to a busy year, last year also saw the release of three striking singles, each brimming with his signature flair, which teased the forthcoming release of his highly-anticipated full-length debut.
Last year, the rising Cameroonian-German artist released three striking singles which teased the arrival of his highly-anticipated full-length debut, MELATONIN. MELATONIN‘S latest single “CONSERVATIVE INC,” a collaboration with kiana is a vibey, swaggering and hooky mix of hip-hop, neo-soul and R&B.
Throughout the track Devantier Rain and klana trade confident yet vulnerable, heartfelt verses that dive deep into themes of self-worth, betrayal, heartache and resilience with grizzled, hard-fought experience: Devantier Rain’s verses focus on strength forged through being underestimated. klana’s verses focus on standing firm without remorse after being wrong. Throughout the song, the pair offer the sort of much-needed lessons the old heads would try to give the young bloods at a gathering — or the sort of intimate “real life” conversation you’d have with a dear one, late at night as the party winds down.
