ON THE RISE
From the vibrant streets of New York to the creative currents of Charlotte, North Carolina, hip-hop artist ImSoTyRell makes a bold debut with his latest single and accompanying webisode, “Make Some Noise Episode 1: The Dream”. The track dives into themes of ambition, resilience, and unwavering passion in the face of adversity. Told through a fictionalized version of himself, ImSoTyRell invites fans to experience his world not just through music, but through a narrative that peels back the layers of the artist behind the name.
“My goal was to introduce the world to me. Even though this isn’t my exact story, you grow to love the Tyrell character and the music,” explained ImSoTyRell. “The version of Tyrell in the series is fictional—more dramatized—but it’s still rooted in my truth.”
In this debut episode, viewers follow Tyrell, an aspiring rapper caught between the pull of his passion and the pressures of reality. As financial instability looms large, he wrestles with the demands of a partner who urges him to pursue a more stable path, even as emotional tensions mount over unresolved questions surrounding his child and a strained relationship with the child’s mother.
The episode reaches a dramatic peak when a misunderstanding over child support leads to Tyrell’s arrest and the loss of his job, forcing him to confront the cost of his dreams. With raw storytelling and unflinching honesty, “Make Some Noise” captures a pivotal crossroads in Tyrell’s life, asking a familiar question faced by many young artists: Will he risk everything to chase the music or surrender to the weight of expectation?
“Make Some Noise,” a blend of music and cinematic storytelling, premiered on April 24th, marking the beginning of a compelling series. A second episode followed over Memorial Day weekend, continuing Tyrell’s journey, with a third installment set to drop this June.
The series is brought to life visually by The Fly Family, the creative team behind the camera who also helped shape ImSoTyRell’s visual identity and encouraged him to embrace content creation as a core element of his artistry. To date, he’s written over eight scripts, further expanding the Tyrell (ImSoTyRell) universe.
“We’re getting faster and faster with production, my goal now is to close the gap, releasing one single per month,” shared ImSoTyRell.
Alongside the episodic series, ImSoTyRell recently dropped “Big Plays,” a coming-of-age anthem, and is gearing up to release “Practice What You Preach,” a summer-ready club track featuring Boosie BadAzz, on May 28th.
“I’ve always loved storytelling—that’s what makes my sound unique,” added ImSoTyRell. “Artists like DMX, Biggie, and Missy Elliott inspired me because their songs told vivid stories. Whether it’s R&B, rap, or hip-hop, I want listeners to walk away with something meaningful. That’s what I think music should do.”
ImSoTyRell’s journey to this moment has been anything but linear. He’s been recording music off and on for over a decade, first falling in love with songwriting as a third grader in Queens. After attending a performing arts program at Newburgh Free Academy (NFA) in upstate New York, he moved to Charlotte for his senior year and began balancing warehouse shifts and a job at Citibank to make ends meet.
Determined to fund his music independently, he joined the military for the signing bonus and traveled the world, all to invest in his craft. Along the way, in 2009, he linked up with his longtime producer, who’s worked with the likes of Kanye West, Akon, and Anthony Hamilton. That connection helped shape his sound. Since then, he’s released a steady stream of singles, including a Panthers-inspired anthem titled “Keep Pounding,” and in recent years has built momentum with songs like “I Need More,” marking a turning point in both his visuals and creative vision.
“The name ImSoTyRell came from a place of self-discovery,” he explained. “People kept trying to compare me, saying I sounded like this artist or that one, but I’m not here to fit in a box. I’m an onion with layers. I can write a love ballad, make a club banger, or go bar for bar with a Kendrick or a Boosie. I’m just authentically me.”

NETHERLANDS — August 26, 2026 — Brook Lynn is stepping into a new chapter with “Love Your Enemy,” an atmospheric alternative pop song that turns an intensely personal battle with anxiety into a message of self-acceptance. Written after her America’s Got Talent auditions, the song captures the internal conflict of facing the person who can be hardest to silence: yourself.
Built around cinematic production and emotionally restrained vocals, “Love Your Enemy” explores the disconnect between appearing fine in public and confronting difficult thoughts in private. The song’s central message is reflected in its chorus, where Brook Lynn sings about being “my own worst company” before arriving at its most hopeful realization: “They say, ‘Love your enemy,’ / So I’m learning how to love me.”
For Brook Lynn, that “enemy” is anxiety. Rather than presenting it as something that simply disappears, the song examines what it means to live with those thoughts while refusing to let them dictate what comes next.
“I always want to give a hopeful message in every song,” Brook Lynn explains. “I always first want to explain what is happening in your head and what you feel, and then, at the end, give a message that you can get out of this, and that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back from all the things you want to achieve in your life.”
That message became especially significant when Brook Lynn made the decision to perform “Love Your Enemy” on America’s Got Talent. Known by many viewers for her stripped-back cover performances, she recognized that performing an original song on one of television’s biggest stages carried a different kind of risk. But she also knew she could not continue forward without showing audiences the artist behind the covers.
“I just thought it was really important to also show the world that I’m not just a cover singer,” she says. “I do want people to know that I write songs and I want to be an artist and put that out there.”
Brook Lynn performed “Love Your Enemy” during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals, bringing the song’s story of anxiety and self-doubt directly to a massive live audience. Her journey on the show ended there, but the response made one thing clear: listeners wanted to hear more. Fans connected not only with her voice, but with the honesty behind the performance and the willingness to speak openly about emotions many people struggle to acknowledge themselves.
“I do want to be that person with my music as well for other people,” Brook Lynn says, describing her desire to write about real experiences and feelings. “I always want to be really real with everyone, like talk about deeper stuff, not surface level.”
“Love Your Enemy” arrives as Brook Lynn looks ahead to Tales From The Woods, an upcoming EP intended to introduce listeners to a broader picture of who she is as an artist. With only two original songs currently released, she says she is excited to share more music and continue developing the sound and emotional world introduced through “Love Your Enemy.”
The song is not a conclusion to Brook Lynn’s story. It is the beginning of a more open one—one where anxiety can be acknowledged without being allowed to take control, and where the feelings people are often afraid to say out loud can finally have a voice.
Listen to “Love Your Enemy,” which received promotional support from Starlight PR.
Brook Lynn creates music that feels intimate yet powerful, cinematic yet emotionally exposed. Blending atmospheric alternative pop with minimalist visual storytelling, her work explores vulnerability, isolation, emotional tension and human connection through a distinctly modern lens.
Raised in Wilp, a small town in the Netherlands, Brook Lynn grew up surrounded by silence, nature and isolation. Music became a private emotional outlet and a way to process feelings that were difficult to explain out loud. What began through stripped-back online performances evolved into a growing global audience drawn to her honesty and emotional depth.
For Brook Lynn, music is never just about being heard. It is about being understood.
