“Weakness” is the latest single from up and coming R&B Hip Hop Pop artist iNL83 which dropped on June 6th. With the single, iNL83 unleashed a playfully infectious soundscape on the airwaves which will take you right back to the golden age of Hip Hop when artists weren’t afraid to show their softer, more melodic sides.
Along with the soft rap verses, there’s also plenty of pitch-perfect vocal harmonies to get lost within and an incredibly potent serving of charisma which is perceptible through both the lyrics and the vocals. With the vocals paired against the shimmering Hip Hop beats, Weakness unfolds as a high intensity hit of good vibes, grind, and ingenuity.

Review by Amelia Vandergast - A&R Factory
Hip Hop / Rap release ‘Are We Ok’ from iNL83 is a serious song with light humor about the emotions experienced when a couple is arguing.
Music captures your soul and can create an intangible emotion. In my opinion this makes music a spiritual experience and when you create it, you can feel every note and tempo and share your experience with the world. - AVA Editing Team
Today we’d like to introduce you to iNL83.
iNL83, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
My story begins in the year 2050 when I was sent back to the year 2016 to bring good music back to the masses. All corny jokes aside, I have been creating music since the age of 14. My uncle bought a drum machine and other creative music equipment to start a record label. Due to my love for hip-hop music and rapping, he actually entrusted me to be his in-house producer. Unfortunately, my uncle passed shortly after laying the foundation for his record label and his goals never saw the light of day. However, his confidence in me gave me the self-esteem to continue to produce, record, engineer, and write my own music.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I create musical hip-hop that has unique grooves and real-life themes. My main goal is to encompass all of my likes and interests which include ’80s and ’90s music, 16-bit video game music, Afro-American culture, and Sci-fi films just to name a few. My upcoming album entitled A Mess with Love (the director’s cut) has a message centered around love, relationships, and the adoration of Afro-American women. The album is slated for release on July 20th, 2018. “Are we ok” and “Emoji Love (the director’s mix) are two current singles from the album and are available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon music, and all other digital retailers. Lastly, one of the main takeaways someone should get from my music is that all of it is organic and made from personal life experiences. In order to maintain this, I create my music and write all of my lyrics.
Artists rarely, if ever pursue art for the money. Nonetheless, we all have bills and responsibilities and many aspiring artists are discouraged from pursuing art due to financial reasons. Any advice or thoughts you’d like to share with prospective artists?
TAKE AS MANY FINANCIAL AND MONEY MANAGEMENT CLASSES AS POSSIBLE!!! When it comes to this department, I honestly do not have the answers. So far in my career I have been able to maintain steady work as an audio engineer to provide steady income. However, I do have friends around the city who do a solid job of managing their money from their creative works and being full-time artist.
What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
All of my music is available on iTunes and Spotify mainly. Links are below:

Gigi Capone PR and Associates is happy to publish our review of “Emoji Love” by iNL83, a potential lead for the mixtape project “A Mess With Love”.
Composition: Pleasantly unpredictable
Production: An electric hip hopish sound ahead of it’s time, with a splash of classic sound gently blended in.
Arrangement: The arrangement was very creative, around every corner is a surprise, in particular a reconceptualization through out the piece that felt very David Bowie ish.
Performance: Up beat, easy to listen to and overall a 3 out of 5 in my book.
Hit Potential: This song would make a fun video and may do well with sync licensing / soundtrack opportunities. The question asked by the artist here is what do I think about this song for a lead on a mixtape release. My response is, why the hell would you put a song like this on a mixtape? What I hear is an artist who has grown past the mixtape stage, who should be focusing on an EP or LP, with a buzz build up to an album.
Stop dumping your budget into a mixtape buzz and invest in an original EP, LP or album that will allow you to collect residuals. Don’t forget to encode with Mediabase and register with SoundExchange so you can collect off both your digital and FM spins, both are free. Digital Radio Tracker would be a great tool for keeping track of your spins once you release this record. I look forward to checking out this song release in the near future. - gigicaponepr.com

As an early millennial, iNL83 grew up around pop culture delights such as video game consoles, pre-reality television MTV, action packed saturday morning cartoons, The Matrix, '90s hip-hop, Tim Burton films, and any other wonderful media sensation that existed before the social media takeover. All of these interests, can be heard influencing the music and lyrics that iNL83 creates.
