Sunset Capone released a new number titled “Heart” where he continues delivering the signature sound he has established on his previous works “Nowhere” and “Glow Up.” Each of his drops is a risky move, as he mixes trap, EDM and rap – a blend that usually turns out to be an overdone tune or a total mess up.

Honest, well-written, and very personal. While Sunset Capone spills his truth...

The tiny sparkle of electro spices up the overall sound of her new track, and while Ye Torii...
