JANUARY 10, 2017

Independent Artist, Dre Powe releases his new hit single “Meditate,” produced by Kendrick, Lord of The Mix and recorded at Grand Hustle Studios. The track has a “feel good” vibe which allows you to take in the essence of hip-hop and reminisce to a time when you could vibe out to a song because it made you FEEL GOOD! The two having previously interned together under Super Producer Bangladesh, found themselves back in the lab but this time, cooking up some heat! A lyricist by nature and a songwriter by trade, Powe really hit a home run when he teamed up with Kendrick and created this phenomenal record!
