Delaware's favorite rap trio, Cypher Clique, are back with a four-song EP titled Tomorrow Starts Today, which they self-released on February 18. Longtime producer and friend James Major crafts dreamy, groovy beats, and the crew has perfected the formula to make every song an absolute vibe. They’ve mentioned on their page that more music is on the way, so be sure to stream their latest release and get ready for more soon.

Jean Alter is a young indie electronic artist from Delaware, with a new infectious single titled “Human Being” now available on their Bandcamp.
