Dama Nilz: “All I” (feat. Azurah Vibez) (prod. DatBoyCraig)

By: Jack Anderson

Be it on the mic, on the tables, or in the studio, former Brooklynite Anelia Lomsky has cemented a reputation for overshadowing her Austinite peers under the name Dama Nilz.

Her extended tenure in the birthplace of hip-hop had given the already-competitive Lomsky a considerable leg up in the rap game by the time she moved to the Live Music Capital, where she’s since been in a state of near non-stop hustle. And while you can’t overlook her take-no-guff code of conduct, Dama’s relentless flow, articulation, and depth are all decidedly buoyant over bombastic. After winning the 2019 “Rap for a Stack” contest, Dama Nilz was set to make yet another official return to SXSW, but…well…you know.

Festival news aside, Dama Nilz shared her seven-song full-length, Damanation, just a couple weeks back. So show Dama the love she deserves and work your way through Damanation starting with the album’s killer caboose, featuring fellow pop-R&B singer Azurah Vibez and produced by her Spy Coastal confederate DatBoyCraig, “All I”!

Alison Brown: “Sun and Water (Here Comes the Sun/Waters of March)”

Concerning instruments with gorgeous tones and rich cultural histories, the banjo is often overlooked. And it makes sense to some extent; outside the roots world, banjo is rarely front and center. But when an innovator like Béla Fleck or Alison Brown comes along, it’s a refreshing reminder of banjo’s intrinsic magic. Brown has bred an […]

Hot Mustard: “The End of Time”

We’ve been talking a lot about our upcoming SXSW Showcase next week at Scholz Garden, with a lineup that’s already got mouths watering. And on top of that, if you’re like me, perusing Scholz’ gasthaus-style menu is guaranteed to put mustard on the mind. But today we’re not talking about Dijon, Bavarian, or the plain […]

Passiflora: “SOMS”

Next week is South By South West, which means it’s been three whole years since SXSW 2020’s abrupt cancellation marked the beginning of our ongoing COVID climate. Of course, we now recognize several silver linings, mainly the sudden abundance of free time to follow through with unrealized creative projects, some of which haven’t been heard […]

Coy O Té: “Never Enough”

As much as I miss seeing Walker Lukens & The Side Arms dominate marquees and show bills across town year-round, it’s been really neat watching Walker evolve from a frontman of many hats to a straight-up behind-the-scenes producer. In doing so, Walker’s been able to lend his idiosyncratic sense of sonics and production techniques to […]

The Vapor Caves: “Sacrifice”

Happy Women’s History Month! If you weren’t already aware, over the past year Spoon drummer/Public Hi-Fi producer Jim Eno has been helping to write a new chapter in Women’s History through Project Traction. By opening the doors to Public Hi-Fi and offering a seat behind the board, Eno’s given female and non-binary musicians the skills […]

Trumpeter Swan: “American Dream”

Remember What Made Milwaukee Famous? Along with Spoon, The Octopus Project, and Explosions in the Sky, WMMF helped to hurl Austin’s explosive mid-2000s indie rock scene into the international zeitgeist. But with the exception of a brief 2019 reunion, What Made Milwaukee Famous has remained largely dormant since the release of You Can’t Fall Off […]
