southpaw x Era 51 – “? Myself”

southpaw teams up with Era 51 on the new single “? Myself”, and the partnership comes across as natural right away. The San Francisco artist has been building a name not only as a performer but as someone who spots talent early, and this release is another example of that instinct in action. Era 51, who moves between Alt Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B, was discovered when she had only eight monthly listeners, yet her artistry was sharp and formed.

You can hear the connection between them in the smooth lo-fi backdrop and the confident vocal delivery that anchors the record. Era 51 sounds grounded and self-assured, bringing a raw tone that keeps the song honest. The relaxed energy and subtle nostalgic touch make it easy to sit with, whether you are listening on headphones or letting it play in the background of your day. I like how focused the collaboration comes across as and how it ties into southpaw’s larger goal of giving underground artists a platform. It makes you curious about the upcoming project and who else might be part of it. There is a steady confidence here that keeps you coming back for more each listen.
