Hamdallah has released his debut single: "Don't Stop Build Up."
Hamdallah, known for infusing fresh energy into the hip-hop scene, originates from the Middle East, specifically Jordan. He has spent the past ten years immersed in the dynamic atmosphere of California, where he really expanded his stylistic vocabulary and broadened his sonic range.
Hamdallah is indeed the kind of artist who likes to dive deeper into his music, bringing fresh ideas to his songs and constantly pursuing excellence with his productions. He won’t just settle into a comfort zone!
Recently, he dropped his debut release, ”Don't Stop Build Up", which stands out as an outstanding example of his ability to pursue new ideas and sounds with his music while still retaining his identity and personality. This track is a perfect example of how the artist skillfully merges his Middle Eastern heritage with the laid-back vibes of California, making for a truly vibrant and high-energy sound. Not only did Hamdallah produce the beat, but he also wrote the lyrics and infused every single element of this project with passion, dedication, and his willingness to share his one-of-a-kind take on hip-hop with the world.
By drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western influences, he did unlock something quite differently, going for a “best of both worlds” vibe!
As the title of the song suggests, "Don't Stop Build Up” is also a very positive and uplifting track that sends a message of hope to people. Yes, life is very difficult, and there is so much uncertainty in everyone’s path. However, the song encourages people to face challenges with perseverance and faith. It doesn’t matter how steep or dark the road ahead gets as long as we keep going. The chorus of the song in particular is very touching. It serves as a powerful reminder to trust oneself and keep moving forward despite difficulties.
A true positive role model, Hamdallah is bringing so much light into the world with his music, especially at a time when we need it most!
"Don't Stop Build Up" is a great snapshot of Hamdallah’s creativity, and it comes highly recommended to fans of East Coast and West Coast tones alike. Musically, the song is just as beautiful and relevant as the lyrics. The first sound you'll hear is that of a Oud, a middle-eastern instrument with roots that go back thousands of years. This combination of timeless sounds and modern rap aesthetics is truly on point. The sound of yesterday meets the tone of tomorrow, and Hamdallah is like a bridge between the past, present, and future. The energy of the 808 drops and the drums matches the infectious melody and the relentless lyrical flow of the artist, who uses his life experiences and personal stories to convey the important message of the song.
This release is a perfect taste of modern rap music at its best. It is definitely an indication that Hamdallah's future ahead is quite bright. He is certainly going to accomplish great things with his sound. Find out more about Hamdallah, and listen to "Don't Stop Build Up," now available on some of the web’s best digital music streaming services.

Lalalar – En K​ö​Tü Iyi Olur
James looks at En K​ö​Tü Iyi Olur, the captivating new album from Turkish genre defying psychedelic folk rock/funk band Lalalar, released September 8th on Les Disques Bongo Joe.
En K​ö​tü Iyi Olur is more than just an album, it is a sonic experience that alters not only the listener's mind, but their concept of how varied and experimental an album can be. The album’s strong Middle Eastern influences shape its unique sound, energy and essence, further expanding upon its already unique charm. Joining these elements are folk, electronic, psychedelic rock, funk, hip hop and far more. Overall I can’t recommend this album strongly enough, it’s just so good that everyone should listen to it at least once. Regardless of what style of music you enjoy there should be a little something for everyone here.
Read James' full review and listen to and order the album at the link below:

Support Palestinian Musicians & Artists :
Here is a list of Palestinian musical artists, musical groups & bands, to make it easier for you to stop supporting musicians and artists who support genocide and occupation…
Faraj Sulieman : a solo musician who makes musical works that are very piano & jazz infused with a hint of rock n’ roll. He has performed in many countries in Europe and the Middle East. He has released 10 albums in the last 10 years, one of them being a children’s musical album called “Faheem” that found major success with the voices of the 2 kids, Faheem Abu Hilu and Hala Qassis, that were very dominant in the album alongside the sound of classical piano played by Faraj Sulieman himself. He also made the soundtrack for the Palestinian movie “200 meters” directed by Ameen Nayfeh. (Recommended Works : Better Than Berlin / Second Verse / Upright Piano)
DAM : a rap band founded in 1999 by the 2 brothers Tamer and Suhel Nafar along with their friend Mahmoud Jrere, the 3 rappers who came out of the city Lod [a mixed city that has indigenous Palestinian citizens & zionist Israeli settlers] make songs mostly about the inequality in the authorities’ treatment towards Palestinians, and songs criticizing the Palestinian society living in occupied territory under the Israeli Government… They primarily rap in Arabic, yet they sometimes use English & Hebrew as well. In recent years the female artist Maysa Daw has joined the band replacing Suhel Nafar and adding a feminine perspective to the band’s niche. It’s also important to mention that DAM was the first ever hip-hop band in the entirety of the Middle East. (Recommended Works : Ben Haana Wa Maana / i don’t have freedom)
Tamer Nafar : as mentioned before, he is a Palestinian rapper and actor and one of the founding members of DAM. Besides his works with DAM he also produces music under his own name, sometimes collaborating with various Palestinian & international artists. He also participated in making the soundtrack for the film ‘Junction 48’. (Recommended Works : The Beat Never Goes Off / Johnnie Mashi)
Maysa Daw : a solo musician, singer & songwriter, and as mentioned before the freshest and newest member of the band DAM, and a member of the newly formed female group called Kallemi, She was featured in Vogue Arabia 2019 as one of 5 Arab stars setting the world of art, culture and entertainment. She is also the daughter of the actor and director Salim Daw. (Recommended Works : Asli Barri / Between City Walls)
47SOUL : a group of four men who are all originally from Palestine that have created a new music genre called “Shamstep” which is an electronic dance movement mixed with the sound of Palestinian & Middle Eastern folklore. The musical group was formed back in 2013, and since then they’ve become pioneers in that unique style of theirs and have been on tours all over the world from the US to the UK and of course the Middle East. They’ve performed in NPR’s tiny desk in 2019 which helped them gain even more international recognition. (Recommended Works : Shamstep / Semitics / Shireen)
El far3i : he is a Palestinian-Jordanian rapper, singer, songwriter, and percussionist. He is currently a member of the Shamstep band 47Soul, and was formerly a member of the Arabic rock band El Morabba3. He started his career in 2012, and has since released six solo albums. (Recommended Works : Tghayarti)
Shabjdeed : Straight out of the restless town of Kufr Aqab, Palestine, emerged a talent by the name of Abu Othaina. With his controversial takes and raw skills Shabjdeed was an instant addition to the Palestinian rap scene. After gaining traction from his self-titled track, he caught the attention of Al Nather, a local producer, and worked with him to create the alter-ego Shabjdeed; an act that can easily be considered one of the most influential and popular in the region. The duo developed their own niche dark hip-hop and trap style combining Shabjdeed’s nihilistic and daringly personal delivery style with Al Nather’s colourful and rhythmic instrumentals. From the beginning they have been able to build a dedicated fanbase, grossing over 1.5 million total streams on Soundcloud across two years whilst only relying on word-of-mouth advertisement. The duo have created together a record label and named it BLTNM Records which was brought to it’s biggest success with the release of Shabjdeed’s first full length album called “Sindibad el Ward”. And today Shabjdeed’s music is the modern voice for not only the Palestinian revolution, yet for the entire revolution in the Middle East caused by youth that dream of a better future and go against their capitalist and money hungry governments. (Recommended Works : Fi Harb / Aadi / inn ann / Ko7ol w 3atme)
Daboor : A Jerusalemite rapper to the bone, Daboor’s debut single “Liter Black'' was released in 2020 to much fanfare and critical acclaim. His unique style and raw talent cemented his status in the rap scene and he was soon signed to BLTNM Records. Daboor’s words touch on the violence of the occupation, and his delivery mimics it with brutal bursts of staccato. (Recommended Works : Inn Ann / Dolab)
Lina Makhoul : an independent American-born Palestinian singer-songwriter & producer. She was raised in the city of Acre in occupied Palestine since the age of 4 and according to her she has showed interest in music and dance since a young age. She started her career in 2012 and has since released 1 full length album as well as a number of hit singles, She also opened for Queen+ Adam Lambert in 2016 and toured with Little Mix in 2017. (Recommended Works : Shway Shway / Fish Masari / 3 sneen)
Elyanna : a Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter who started her career in 2018 and has since released 1 full length album and a number of singles, and she has collaborated with artists with significant recognition such as Massari. She performed in Coachella 2023 to become the 1st ever Middle Eastern & Palestinian artist to perform in Coachella in Arabic. (Recommended Works : Ana Lahale / Ghareeb Alay)
Noel Kharman : She is best known for doing mashup covers where she mixes Middle Eastern and Western music, creating a unique bridge between these two worlds through her powerful and angelic voice. She started her career on Youtube with covers of viral songs, but her big breakthrough happened in 2015 when she published her first mash-up cover which was a mix of ‘Hello’ by Adele with Fairuz. The cover went viral overnight and since then, she became an instant internet sensation. The cover has gained over 30 million views on YouTube. Today she has released many songs of her own after being signed to a record label and has collaborated with various artists and went on tour in many cities in the Middle Eastern region. (Recommended Works : Ya Lali)
The Synaptik : This Palestinian-Jordanian artist based in Palestine started making music at the age of 17. The Synaptik studied medicine for 7 years and graduated. His stage name is derived from his fascination with the nervous system, neurotransmitters and his personal experience with ADHD, which led to calling himself The Synaptik: “…because that’s where things happen.” The Synaptik has pioneered a new wave of sound for the Arab youth. His honest and potent lyrics are highlighted by his songwriting style that merges singing and rapping effortlessly. With a tsunami of a first album under his belt, dozens of local, regional, and international shows and a much-anticipated second album, The Synaptik has cemented his status as one of the pillars in the Hip Hop scene in the region. The Synaptik has collaborated with numerous artists from all over the Middle East such as rap superstars Abyusif, Wegz, Marwan Mousa, Chyno with a Why?, Shabjdeed and more. (Recommended Works : Sabelek)
Apo & The Apostles : Apo & the Apostles started out late 2013 in Jerusalem-Bethlehem with their first release in March 2014. Since then, they've been taking their music to whoever and wherever they are welcomed. The band is known for their energetic performances that turn to parties and after-parties. (Recommended Works : Baji Wenek)

the boy is mine
~the boy is mind by Ariana Grande~
Author's Note: requested Summary: Kirby's pregame before his first playoff game in Montreal Warnings: none Word Count: 1,062 Kirby Dach x fm!reader
Tumblr media
It was the last regular season game for the entire NHL. All eyes were on the Canadiens and the Lightning. Both of them tied for points to get the final wildcard spot for the Eastern Conference. Currently, the Lightning held the spot from the other categories. The Canadiens needed to win the game to achieve the last spot. 
The game was tied at 1-1 as regulation ended. Tampa fans were being ruthless in the crowd as the boys skated to center ice. Cole, Nick, and Mike were all on the ice, prepared to start overtime. 
The wives and girlfriends were all sitting inside Caitlin’s apartment watching the game in dead silence. Which is usually impossible between the group of girls.
Y/N held her wine glass against her lips, too focused to even try and sip the drink. She watched as Tampa started wtih possession and began skating around their zone. After a monster save by Sam, the Canadiens get possession of the puck. Her heart was beating loud in her ear as she watched seventy-seven hop onto the ice. 
Mike passed Kirby the puck and Y/N watched as he skated through the offensive zone. He wrists a shot towards the net and the puck hits the back of the net. Kirby throws his hands up in the air as he skates towards the glass. The team starts heading towards the locker room as Cole, Kirby and Mike celebrate on the ice together.
The entire group of girls erupted into cheers. Y/N threw her hands up as she cheered. 
She received her jacket after the first game in Boston. It was the signature Canadiens red with different original six patches all over the front of it. On the back in white lettering it wrote Dach and his number, seventy-seven.
She was so excited to wear it because this was the first time she was experiencing it as a part of the wives and girlfriends. Tonight was game three, back in Montreal and none of the wives and girlfriends showed their boys the jackets until today. Kirby sat on the bed, his dark blue suit on his frame. His face slowly starting to get stubble as he shaved right before the end of the regular season. 
He kept his eyes shut as requested. She ran her fingers through her hair in the bathroom mirror as she adjusted the red jacket on her body. She walked through the small hallway that separated their bathroom and bedroom. She nervously moved her hands through the air and onto her hips before she decided to just let them hang at her side.
“Okay,” she mumbled. Kirby’s eyes opened quickly as he met her gaze. He smiled widely as he slowly scanned her frame, he nodded his head slowly in the process. 
“Spin,” he said as he bit his bottom lip, he spun his finger in a circle as she slowly obeyed him. She spun around showing off his name and his number. He smiled widely as he saw it. Love knowing that she proudly wore his name and number. She finished her spin as she met his gaze, a smile slowly forming to her lips.
“So what do you think?” she asked as she awkwardly threw her hands up in the hair. He stood up from the bed, walking towards her. He grazed his fingertips along the jean like fabric. 
“I think red is goregous on you,” he began as he met her gaze. He swallowed hard before he licked his lips nervously, “I like the ownership too,” he teased with raising his eyebrows. She laughed shyly. 
“I’ve never been to a playoff hockey game before,” she changed the subject as she began to run her fingers along his suit jacket. He nodded as he took a hold of her hips. 
“You’ll get to watch us take the series lead,” he said with a cocky smile. She rolled her eyes playfully as he leaned towards her, kissing her lips gently. She had red lipstick on, afraid he would smudge it. “Red is so hot on you,” he mumbled as he met her gaze. 
“Thank you,” she said with a small smile, “Can we take a photo? I don’t have to post it or-”
“Post it baby,” he said as he kissed her cheek before he guided her towards their bathroom. “Show off how hot you look in red,” he shouted. She rolled her eyes playfully as she followed after him.
Their relationship has not been entirely public, all of his social media active teammates follow her. So people are aware of her relation to the team but not because of who. 
She wrapped her arm around his back as he loosely tightened his grip around her waist. He puckered his lips out as he popped his hip to the side dramatically. She laughed as she took the photo. “What about this?” he asked as he frowned hard as he shifted his gaze towards her.
“At least look like you love me,” she let out dramatically pouting her lips. His mouth fell open as he let out a dramatic gasp.
“Oh really,” he asked teasingly, he took a hold of her chin delicately. “See I was being nice,” he mumbled, staring towards her red plump lips. “But now,” he muttered before he leaned towards her, kissing her urgently. She froze for a second before she began to kiss him back with the same sense of urgency. 
After a few seconds she pulled away to see his mouth covered in red lipstick, as the lipstick on her face was smudge. She giggled and groaned as she realized the mistake. “See, I was trying to be the nice guy,” he mumbled as he poked his finger against her lips. 
“Yeah, sure, nice guy,” she mumbled as they looked back towards the mirror, posing for a few photos for their own private collection. She delicately placed her phone down onto the bathroom counter. She reached towards her makeup remover wips and handed it towards Kirby.
“I was actually thinking of rocking the red lip, what do you think?” he offered, meeting her gaze. She rolled her eyes playful as she began cleaning her mouth of the smudged lipstick. 
“I think it's a look,” she mumbled as she met his gaze through the mirror. He began wiping his face harshly.

what I think the pre-res crowd listened to:
John : Tumblr hits. Man's got a playlist with Arctic Monkeys, Lana, and early Marina that he is secretly convinced is actually niche.
P-- : Meticulously curated 1,000 song sex playlist that features a beautifully harmonious mix of jazz standards, soul, funk, and contemporary ambient. She listens to it a lot.
G-- : He halfheartedly tries to keep up with new music trends but in reality can't stop listening to the songs from CDs John made him when they were 13 - Linkin Park, System of a Down, Three Days Grace, and My Chemical Romance
The Dead Kids: Cutting edge hyperpop that would put hair on our chests
A -- : Shoegaze-related microgenres in the most gatekeepy way possible. Has spent thousands on hi-fi systems so he can terrorise hookups (and john and mercy) in his apartment.
A --'s younger brother: Hedge fund manager, so exclusively well-known classic hip hop that he genuinely thinks he can rap along to. He cannot.
N -- : The only person who actually cares about new music. Frequently went to cheap shows before Cow Wall.
C -- : Who knows what lurks in the hearts of lawyers!
M -- : 20 Hour Binaural Beats Grey Noise Stimulation For Stress Relief
M --'s nun : Eastern orthodox liturgical music. Secretly feels guilty as she is definitely catholic, but prefers the polyphony and "tradition". Also has a better internet shitposting community compared to Catholic musical traditins.

a/n: we are back babes! this one was actually the toughest prompt to write so I hope you all love it! word count: 1.3k warnings: a little bit of spice! and a kind of toxic relationship (i did end up listening to @smileysvech​ “toxic slaylist” while writing so... there’s that. gender neutral reader!
Ain’t it exciting you the rumble where you lay? Ain’t you my baby? 
Sadness. Humiliation. Shame.
Those should be the emotions running through Brady as the plane lands back in Carolina after Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Because he wasn’t back here to fight for another win. He was here to pack his bags and go home.
The best team in the Metro. Swept. By a wild card team who barely made the playoffs.
It was a disaster. It was an embarrassment. And Brady should feel the heavy weight of that failure, even if he might only be responsible for one-nineteenth of the blame. Or, at the least, he should feel the waves of sadness crashing over him about the way it ended, or even the mere fact that it did end.
But he didn’t. Perhaps he did earlier, when that final buzzer sounded and the fans in South Florida cheered. But now, having sat with those feelings for the better part of 24 hours, he was no longer sad.
He was angry.
And so, when the wheels touched down in Raleigh and he collected his car with his equipment sitting in the trunk, he didn’t drive home.
Instead, he drove to yours.
~
A tired sigh leaves you as you pull up to your house. A long work week was cause for an even longer relaxing weekend and you were ready to start that weekend by getting inside and having a long nap. Or a strong drink. Or perhaps both.
However, after hopping out of your car and wandering up the small path that leads to your front porch, your plans placed on a momentary hold when you see someone leaning against the wall adjacent to your door, their baseball cap pulled low.
“I’m not interested in whatever you’re selling,” you call out, ready for this stranger to flash you an award-winning smile and tell you all about how their company could save you money on roofing if you needed repairs after last week’s storm.
But when their head lifts and their attention is drawn, you stop in your tracks as you recognize the face staring back at you.
Hell, you used to wake up to it every morning for eight months. Until he ended things.
“Brady.”
His name falls from your mouth in complete practiced apathy. You didn’t need him to know that you spent time crying over him in the last month. You especially didn’t need him to know how your heart still skipped a beat when his eyes connected to yours.
“Did you see the game?” he asks.
“I heard.”
“And?”
“And what? Do you want to cry for you?”
There’s a humorless chuckle that comes from Brady as his head falls before he takes a step towards you.
“You always knew how to make me feel better,” he says, the sarcasm lacing his voice. And when you hear it, that dry scathing tone, you realize that you didn’t recognize the man in front of you.
Brady was always soft, gentle, welcoming. It made the dichotomy between you even more obvious; you all sharp edges and harsh words and burning fire. It was part of the reason the two of you broke up.
But this Brady… there was something different. Something dangerous. it intrigued you. But not enough to give.
“I’m not going to coddle you, Brady. You should know that by now.”  
“I don’t want your sympathy.”
“What do you want then?” you ask, finally taking a few steps forward, closing the gap between you and your front door. “You want my pity? You want me to say ‘poor you, poor Brady’?”
It’s your turn to let a scoff fall from your lips as you reach into your bag for your keys, Brady now behind you.
“If you wanted someone to feel sorry for you, you came to the wrong fucking house,” you explain, unlocking the door.
Before you can even reach the handle, you feel Brady step forward, his hands falling on your hips as his body crowds you into the smooth wood. You attempt to take a deep breath to calm your heart but it doesn’t help because when you breathe in, your senses are filled with the smell of his cologne. A smell so familiar. One you missed.
Brady moves closer, his body almost pinning you to the door and you can’t stop your knees from trembling as you feel the heat of him behind you, his breath fanning across the shell of your ear.
“I came here because I missed you,” he whispers.
“And it took you getting your ass kicked to realize that?” you shoot back. Although, the waver in your voice betrays you, revealing how much your body was responding to him; his touch, his voice, his warmth. Brady just lets his previous sentence continue, as if he didn’t even hear you.
“And because I know you missed me just as much.”
You couldn’t let him do this – let him come crawling back to you when he was broken or bored. You no longer belonged to him. It was a recipe for disaster.
“I think you’ve forgotten that I’m not one of those blondes that would fall on their knees for you.”
“You seemed to enjoy being on your knees for me when we were together.”
“And we’re not together anymore. So, find someone else to fuck your frustrations out on.”
“Is that what you did?”
“None of your business.”
You feel his grip on your hips tighten and you barely have time to react as he effortlessly spins your body until your back is pressed against the wood of the door, your eyes now looking up at him.
“You’re lying.”
Brady almost spits out the words, as if even the barest suggestion that what you said was true was poison to him. Your eyes follow the movement in his temple, the clenching of his jaw, the storm in his eyes. This wasn’t the side of Brady that you knew.
But it was a side that you were always curious to discover. Throughout those eight months, you wanted to know if Brady had that same fire hiding within him – a passion and intensity that could match yours. And now, you could finally see it peeking through.
You wanted it to come out completely.  
“And you can tell?” you ask, wielding your words with edge and precision. “Does that make you feel worse? If I told you about all the other men that ended up in my bed?”
“You wouldn’t dare.”
“I wouldn’t? Are you sure? You knew what you giving up when you left. Can’t blame me for moving on.”
“You wouldn’t,” Brady repeats, one hand falling away and you barely have time to comprehend where it had gone when you feel the steady weight of the door fall away from you.
Your body lurches back, the momentum pulling you until it is abruptly stopped by Brady’s strong arms, pulling you close and lifting you over the threshold. Your feet find the hardwood of your floors before Brady is spinning you again and you find yourself pressed against the door once more, this time inside your house instead of without.
“You wouldn’t,” he reiterates, “because no one could make you feel as good as I did.”
You hear the deadbolt click, the sound causing the heat pool in your stomach. Brady’s hand moves back to your hip, pulling you close again as he leans in until your lips are barely touching. It’s intoxicating, having him this close to you once again. You are about to surge forward, connect your lips to his, let your fire burn with his. Until Brady speaks again.
“No one could make you feel as good as I’m about to.”
That statement pulls all rationality from you and you don’t hesitate to close the gap between you, crashing your lips onto his. Brady returns the kiss with as much intensity, his hands gripping you tighter while yours move to trace over his arms, his broad shoulders before tangling into that salt-and-pepper hair. The kiss is frantic, all teeth and tongues and it takes a moment before Brady finally pulls away, connecting those brown eyes to your own
“You’re mine,” he whispers. “You always will be.”

Quinta is up for Download!
As previously promised, I present to you all...drumroll...my beloved Quinta! As a little bonus, I've also included her parents in a separate zip. You can find the full info about Quinta and her parents below the cut!
They are only dressed in the everyday category. If you'd like inspo for Quinta, check out the lookbook I did HERE. All the CC I used is BGC, but their eyes and some skin details fall in the "occult scar" category. (If you don't have vampires or werewolves you'll need the CAS unlock mod to get the hidden occult categories.) Lastly, I use the Preferences + mod, so you will probably see a like or dislike from that in the mix. If you don't use that mod, no worries - those likes/dislikes just won't show up.
All I ask is that... -> You don't change her physical appearance dramatically. That means you should especially not change her skin or her plus-size body. If you also download her parents, same goes for them. Don't be weird. -> You don't change Quinta's sexuality. She is a lesbian. -> You tag me if you play with her in your game! I would love for her to finally have a life partner 🥺💕
Thank you to all the CC creators!

Are ya doing requests? Maybe s/o (crush) that looves to dance? Like, any type of dance (for Jax, Gangle and Kinger) it's help them to stay sane and makes them happy
For example Eastern dance, waltz, hip hop and slow dance? like, sometimes at night they go out into the common corridor and dance a waltz with a mop, or a slow dance, or a belly dance, and then when they see a character, they smilingly offer to join?
(Man I post so much of My au that I forgot that I also do writing to oneshots and stuff) (yes requests are openish but please wait for the rules that I'll do later or soon, depending on my schedule)
Dance the abstraction away
Ever since you've been trapped in this digital circus, you have to do things to keep your mind sane enough to avoid abstraction as the last thing you ever want to lose your sense of self in this seemingly never ending digital life.
So you dance.
It doesn't matter what type of dance, it could be a calm waltz, an upbeat hip hop or even just random movements. It was something that kept your mind busy and it is also something you enjoy, sometimes you even hum alongside your dancing as you imagine yourself in different scenarios with each dance.
The others seem to enjoy to watch you dance, hell Caine even had one adventure dedicated to the gang having to dance alongside you with increasing difficulty that you had to help them dance.
But whenever you have your free time, you find yourself always drawn to dancing in the empty halls, sometimes you see one of your friends and invite them into your dance with an extended hand.

Jax
"Gee sweetcheeks you acting crazy dancing alone in this hall, if I haven't known better I would have thought you were on the verge of abstracting"
He stood there with his arms crossed as you pause in the middle of your waltz with a mop, Jax has always been someone who would comment on your dances with a tease, whether that be like what he said earlier or joke about you scaring the crap out of Kinger whenever he spots you dancing.
You merely respond with a chuckle as you held your hand out to him, since he is already there, why not have a little dance now huh?
Your invitation seem to catch him off guard as his pupils turn into small squares before he regains his composure
"And you expect me to just join you dancing creepily with no music?"
It doesn't have to be with no music, you can hum while you dance!
You spot his cheeks tinge with a bit of dark purple as he looks around before sighing and taking your hand
"Fine but you better not tell anyone bout this or I'll place centipedes in your room"
You guide him through this waltz as the two of you slowly spin as you two held each other's hands, his faint dark purple blush eventually disappearing as he becomes more bold, taking the lead as the waltz, spinning and twirling you around before eventually ending it with dipping you with his face leaning close to yours....
Before he casually drops you on the ground.
"Yer lucky that I like you enough to not drop you while we were spinning"
Tumblr media
Gangle
"Wow.. you're so good with dancing..."
Your belly dance came to a sudden stop as you hear the familiar soft voice of Gangle, who stood there whilst fiddling with her ribbon hands, she always seems mesmerized by your dances, you are sure that she often watches you for a while now and you have caught her multiple times watching you but often times she gets scared and ran off before you can approach her.
This time however seems to be your chance as you offer your hand to her, which received a gasp from her as she fiddles with her hands.
"M-me?! U-umm, I don't know... I don't know how to dance.."
Its ok, she can just follow your movements! there's no need to know how to dance like a professional after all, you dance to have fun and entertain yourself.
She stood there as she looks around the hall to make sure that no one is watching before she slowly approach you and wrap her hand around yours gently
"O-ok, I'll try to dance with you"
That's the spirit
You take her into your dance as you sway your hips slowly and fluid like to an make up music as you hum a soft tune, being made out a ribbons, Gangle have a hard time trying to follow your movements exactly as you move, before long her entire body seem to wrap around you like a snake without restricting your movements as you continue your dance with her mask on the side of your head.
It seemed like you were dancing alone but you can feel her still trying to follow along but hey, it seems like she is enjoying it.
Hmm perhaps she can learn ribbon dance with you?
Tumblr media
Kinger
"AH! Oh it's just you... what are you doing?"
You jump a bit from your slow dance as Kinger let's out his oh so iconic scream that you are sure he does everyday. Calming down a bit you turn to the king chess piece as he seems to slowly realize
"Oh right! You dance a lot yeah? You sure know how to dance even when alone"
Well at least he still remembers that you dance a lot, knowing how long he has been in this digital world, you see it as a miracle he can still think somewhat alright for someone who is stuck here for who knows how long.
Seeing an opportunity you extend your hand to him to invite him in
"Hmm? You want me to join you dance? Why sure! I can't remember the last time I danced!"
Well he seems happy so that's good!
He takes your hand before he bows, well isn't he just a gentleman? Soon the two of you were dancing in silence in the halls, with your hands on his shoulder and his on your hips as he surprisingly dance quite well! swaying alongside side you.
His movement suggest that he seems to know how to dance!
"..it was like with her"
Huh?
"Huh? Ah!"
He was brought out of his trance state as he jumps back a bit
"Oh it was just you... Sorry what were we doing again?" You sigh, well at least the two of you were able dance for a bit
But you still wondered about what he meant by her?

"When Alamat officially debuted in February 2021, the group also released its self-written debut anthem kbye, which left many people flabbergasted.  The new track is in a mix of seven local languages—Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Bicolano, Waray-Waray, Hiligaynon, and Bisaya. According to Ninuno Media, Alamat’s official music label, the incorporation of different languages into the song is a reflection of the group’s commitment to multilingualism. Moreover, the seven local languages reflect the member’s native language and ethnicity. 
"For instance, Taneo is from Kalinga, where Ilocano is mostly spoken. Mo, despite having Black-American blood, hails from Zambales where Tagalog and Ilocano are among the dominant languages people use. Jao can speak Kapampangan as a native resident of Pampanga; Tomas represents the Bicolano; Alas is a Bisaya from Mindanao; and R-ji embodies a Waray person of Eastern Samar. 
"The song captures the universality of heartbreak and of being ghosted while fusing traditional music with a hip-hop sound. True to its mission of championing the local culture, Alamat also incorporates the traditional sound of kulintang and the rhythm pattern of tinikling, a prominent folk dance in the country. The official music video of the song also showcases some of the defining features of Filipino culture: native prints in their streetwear, the appearance of baybayin, and a traditional jeepney.  
"Three months after the release of ‘kbye,’ the single already reached 1M plays, enough for the group to secure a spot in the growing P-pop industry."
