Bxmbz’s new album arrives with a very hefty 20-song runtime—The result is an ambitious, at-times unwieldy project that nevertheless delivers several standout moments. Below, I have done a spotlight on three key cuts, and the accompanying documentary, and official music video. All you need to decide if you’re ready to dive into this release. 1. The Documentary Before you press play on the album, check out the doc that dropped on YouTube. It chronicles Bxmbz’s grind and the narrative behind the album journey. You can catch raw footage of the writing process, candid interviews with collaborators. Watching it sets the scene: this isn’t a label-manufactured drop, but a labor of love. "BETRAYAL” Kicking off with a slamming pulse and a bass line, “BETRAYAL” immediately stakes its claim. Bxmbz slides into the pocket with a flow so seamless it feels improvised each internal rhyme snapping into place, each double-time flourish landing like a calculated punch. But it’s the hook that really hooks you. If you judge this album on a single song, make it this one. “PENANCE” ft. KennFrancis Here, Bxmbz spills his guts in tandem with fellow DOTWAV MC KennFrancis. No glittering synths or pitched vocals just a raw, y loop, drums, that leave space for unvarnished confession. Each line carries the weight of a thousand regrets. It’s a difficult song to swallow, but its honesty cuts deeper than any brag. You feel every syllable. “OVER HERE” ft. JoJo Flow If “PENANCE” is the album’s confessional catharsis, “OVER HERE” is its victorious anthem. JoJo Flow fresh off a breakout mixtape threads the needle, weaving airy vocals through a synth sweep that never quite lands where you expect. Bxmbz has a grin in his delivery. This is the kind of track you put on loop when you need to remind yourself that hustle can coexist with harmony. In focusing on these three songs, you get a snip of the full album’s scope. The other 17 cuts fill in the details. Bxmbz’s personal chronicle but these standouts prove that the marathon length is no accident. This project asks for time and attention, but hands you back moments of real connection in return. Whether you jump in with the documentary first or dive straight into “BETRAYAL,” make room in your rotation this is one of the boldest drops of the year.

By Karina Soriano Hawaiian-born hip-hop collective Dotwav gains momentum off new music deal (Las Vegas Weekly)11/5/2025 Bxmbz just dropped MONEYX3 under the DOTWAV MVMNT banner. With Franz Huerbana behind the boards you get a crafted a production so textured, it works just right. Huerbana’s genius lies in the details. The sub-bass that hums like a live wire under Bxmbz’s razor-sharp flow. Every element feels intentional, dangerous. There’s no fat here just this lean, hyper-compressed aggression. Bxmbz rides this chaos like a pro, his delivery oscillating between icy precision and barely contained fury. What makes this track lethal is its refusal to compromise. No hooks, no concessions to radio just Bxmbz and a beat that sounds like it’s actively trying to destroy your speakers. It’s raw, it’s reckless, and it’s exactly the jolt the genre needs. Shoutout to DOTWAV MVMNT for letting artists cook like this. In an era of overproduced, algorithm-chasing tracks, MONEYX3 stands out precisely because it doesn’t try to please everyone. Bxmbz didn’t just drop a track with MONEYX3, and it is surely not just background noise it is straight up and going against complacency, a reminder that the future of hip-hop belongs to those who weaponize sound. Press play, and let the aftershocks rewrite your definition of hip-hop. Stream it.

For those unfamiliar with the multi-faceted talent of Julian Brittano, please provide our readers with a quick overview of who you are as an artist, businessman, and community leader. I am the Renaissance Man. I have a complete knowledge of how Art & Manifestation work hand in hand. I utilize each component of myself as leverage for the others. As an Artist I can paint pictures thru music or film to convey messages and plant proper seeds to the youth and whoever else is observing. The lives or ground (community) are broken up to receive the seeds by the business practices. As long as we can meet the community where they are and assist with some of their needs, they are receptive to the messages (seeds), and hopefully my life serves as a model and example of what they can do and beyond. What people, experiences, etc. influenced your early development as a music producer and artist? I was really influenced some by Dr. Dre, Suge, Ruff Ryders, Cash Money, No Limit, the ROC, and those are really more for seeing people that come from communities like mine, making moves. I was really a serial Entrepreneur all my life, so anyone that made their way and carved out the majority of their lane has been some sort of influence in my approach to my identity. Also the many nights Bouncing at various clubs night after night hearing all genres of music has played a role in my production choices. Name a skillset from your acting career that has helped elevate your music career. I have to laugh but Acting has taught me how to appreciate my own voice and style of delivery. The more grounded I became with my sound on camera showed me to slow down and enjoy each line. In acting we call it being present or in the moment. As an individual who has a positive impact on the youth in your community, what do you believe is key to increasing the access that youth have to develop skills that are required for success? They Key to increasing the access for our youth is, developing more pipeline programs via our own (PPP) Private Public Partnerships. Meaning creating opportunities and experiences for them to tap directly into their purpose and passions with guidance and resources along the way, while cultivating an environment for innovative thinking. Who is your favorite rapper turned actor? Why? I'm my favorite Rapper turned Actor back to Rapper. LOL It's been a real life changing experience to utilize my past to bring me full circle. However there are people that I have to give props to such as, the late DMX, Will Smith, Mos Def, 50, LL Cool J, Xzibit, Method Man, Ice Cube, and there are quite a few more. I know what it's like to balance out your energies to deliver on both platforms. COVID-19, the economy, social injustice, and other variables have negatively impacted people's mental health. What piece of advice would you give to a fellow creative who is struggling to stay motivated during these times? People need to hear from you all. Help tell stories that people can meet you at or connect, and from there take them on a journey. One that impacts those around them and create some form of legacy. |
