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”!

Jefrey Siler: “Wounded in Similar Ways”

Part of what makes modern folk-rock acts like Mac DeMarco so memorable is their ability to walk a tightrope between self-deprecating humor, snarky remarks, and heartfelt wisdom. And it makes sense.

Domestic Tallboys: “Dead Bread”

In the world of “gotcha”-style band handles (whose spot on a marquee may entice unsuspecting listeners in under false pretenses)…nothing will ever come close to “Free Beer”. As a result, countless college bands and beyond have adopted the “Free Beer” moniker, nowadays either temporarily or often with some kind of modifier (“Free Beer & Pizza” […]

Trunk: “Chili’s 45th and Lamar”

Depending on the general reception of a sitting administration, President’s Day often presents the creative community with opportunities to shed some sociopolitical discourse. Today, that’s not quite the case. Instead we’re yielding the podium to a group whose last two albums were Trunk’s America and north american practice space. Yes, we’re talking about Trunk. Look […]

Space Tan: “I Don’t Wanna Die”

Maybe it’s this never-ending relay race of global pandemics, the collective cabin fever many of us endured during the recent ice storm, or just a gentle mist of malaise. Whatever the affliction, if the Milky Way’s main attraction is shining when you’re feeling imprisoned indoors, it’s always worth taking a couple of minutes to soak […]
