Hailing from Sydney, producer/rapper Stoyan wants to let us all know that he's one to keep an eye on. The pen-armoured artist just released his hip hop single "Let Me Know Now", about which he says:

With nods to Mac Miller, Nas, Quasimoto and MF DOOM, I allegorically weave through self-actualisation and the comprehension that things might turn out better than expected.

The track has a really chilled vibe to it, thanks to the soulful beat and Stoyan's laid-back flow. It's the result of a collaboration between him and Sydney artists and multi-instrumentalists VIIN and Yianni Adams. The three of them met for a session in January 2020 with the intention of making a song that wouldn’t sound out of place on the Stones Throw Records roster or blasting out of a convertible’s speakers on a sunny day in Los Angeles. VIIN’s playful guitar riffs and ear candy keys, Yianni’s booming bass, percussion and synths in combination with Stoyan’s soulful vocals and wordplay capture the essence of soulful West Coast Hip Hop, bringing it to the East Coast of Australia.
