Album: Live From the Pentagon<\/p>\n

Reveling in their accomplishments is a goal that many people strive to achieve in their lives, but they often neglect to remember one of the most important aspects that helped them obtain their success: the determination and drive that was required to accomplish their objectives. But Houston rappers 3Bubble and J.Gray, who share a passionate love for creating music, understand the importance of dedication. They have both put endless pressure on themselves, including having lengthy recording sessions in the studio, in order to find triumph in sharing their voices with the public. The duo proved their skills and dedication in their first collaboration, the hip-hop, R&B and soul-inspired full-length album, ‘Live From the Pentagon,’ which is set to be released next Monday, May 30.<\/p>\n

The duo’s first record together, which also stunningly thrives on pop and EDM beats, begins with the gripping track, ‘The Life.’ Driven by a bold and upbeat gospel driven chorus, the song encourages listeners to embrace what they have in life. Beginning with a direct and serious rap for its first 30 seconds, the entry then morphs into alluring funk-inspired vocals. Both stylized vocals uninhibitedly mention how 3Bubble and J.Gray both dreamed of achieving fame, and now thrive on appreciating the life they have achieved.<\/p>\n

The next enthralling entry on ‘Love From the Pentagon’ is the hip-hop and rap-inspired track, ‘Euros,’ which features Kelechi. Driven in part by soulful organ harmonies, the vocals powerfully reflects on how people are continuously praised once they achieve their goals. The singers also grippingly emphasize the harrowing reality that people aren’t typically appreciated before they achieve their fame. Even with their newfound praise, the rappers also stress the all-too-familiar reality that there are some people who want to see them fail, due to their own insecurities.<\/p>\n

The captivating message of ‘Euros’ leads into the stunning song ‘Betrayal,’ which features Taylor Rasberry and Seano Smith. The pop and hip-hop-infused track, which is enthralling driven by the inspirational beats of hand drums, notes how a people’s true feelings and motives aren’t revealed until they’re exposed to money. 3Bubble and J.Gray also soulfully sing about how the pain of being betrayed by people they trusted after they achieved fame and earned money.<\/p>\n

The next enticing entry is the dance-driven ‘Don’t Lie,’ which stunningly features a classic hip-hop production value that’s mixed with alluring contemporary warped electronic beats. 3Bubble and J.Gray boast about their relentless approach to hard work, as they acknowledge that achieving success doesn’t come easily, and they have always fought to maintain their integrity as they try to obtain success.<\/p>\n

‘Love From the Pentagon’ later ends with the equally uptempo and eerie song, ‘What if I Told You,’ which features Lil KeKe. The singers embrace being able to achieve their goals despite the tremendous odds they faced. Driven by a stunning synthesizer and rap, the singers emotionally express how they’re striving to solely concentrate on their dreams, even if that means they’re always putting their work first.<\/p>\n

Celebrating their achievements is a goal that many people strive to revel in in their lives, but they often neglect to remember one of the most important aspects that helped them obtain their success: the determination and drive that was required to accomplish their objectives. But 3Bubble and J.Gray, who share a passionate love for creating music, understand the importance of dedication. The Houston-based rappers have both put endless pressure on themselves, including having lengthy recording sessions in the studio, in order to find triumph in sharing their voices with the public. The duo proved their skills and dedication in their first collaboration, the hip-hop, pop, EDM, R&B and soul-inspired album, ‘Live From the Pentagon,’ which will surely connect with listeners who value the benefits of hard work.<\/p>\n
