Artist Spotlight

SLEPT ON

G4E Presents
Love & CoThe Artist. The Vision. The Sound.

LOVE&CO is one of those rare creative forces that doesn't chase a genre โ€” they build a world. Equal parts soul, grit, and cinematic storytelling, their sound sits in the pocket between what you feel and what you can't quite name.

Rooted in real experience and refined by an artist who refuses to be boxed in, LOVE&CO represents exactly what the G4E movement stands for: authenticity over algorithm, culture over content, and a sound that's built to last beyond the moment.

Watch the featured video and explore their growing catalog โ€” this is what slept-on looks like before the world catches up.

Same Song, Different Verse: AI Music and the Ghost of the Synthesizer Wars
By The Static   8 min read
Issue 01 โ€” The Static

Musicians are fighting back against artificial intelligence โ€” but history says they've been here before. More than 1,000 musicians, including Paul McCartney, signed a protest aimed squarely at AI-generated music. Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj, and Pearl Jam have all added their names to open letters denouncing what they call an attack on human creativity.

"People didn't think it was real music โ€” they thought machines did it."

But this isn't the first time the industry has waged war on a machine. Scroll back to 1982, and the music world was having nearly the exact same fight โ€” just with synthesizers instead of algorithms. The British Musicians' Union attempted to ban synths outright. Queen printed "No Synthesizers!" on four album sleeves. Gary Numan described open hostility from people who thought technology had replaced talent.

Sound familiar? The question now is whether AI is simply the next synth โ€” or something categorically different.

Three Rick James Tracks
the World Walked Right Past
Everybody knows Super Freak. But Rick James was a full catalog artist. These three tracks got buried. We're digging them up.
01
Deep Cut ยท 1985
Glow
From the album Glow ยท Gordy/Motown Records ยท Billboard R&B Top 5

By 1985, Rick James was coming off one of the most productive runs in Black music โ€” and he walked into his personal studio in Buffalo and made one of the most polished albums of his career. Rolling Stone called it a waste. They were wrong.

The title track hit the Top 5 on R&B, hit number one on Dance Club Songs, featured Smokey Robinson in the video, and Rick performed it live on The A-Team. The album never crossed over the way Street Songs did โ€” but it never got a fair shot. It didn't even get a proper US CD release for decades.

"The critics said he ran out of ideas. The dance floor said otherwise โ€” Glow hit number one on Club Songs the same year Rolling Stone dismissed it."
Why it got lost: No US CD release for decades. Came out post-Street Songs when critics had already moved on. The vinyl is a collector's item.
02
Deep Cut ยท 1982
Dance Wit' Me
From the album Throwin' Down ยท Gordy/Motown Records ยท R&B #3 ยท feat. Roy Ayers

Throwin' Down dropped in 1982 โ€” one year after Street Songs sold nearly four million copies worldwide. That's an impossible follow-up slot. Dance Wit' Me hit number 3 on R&B and featured legendary jazz-funk vibraphonist Roy Ayers across seven full minutes of pure groove.

Most people have never sat with this track because the shadow of Street Songs was too long. The album went gold, hit number 13 on the Billboard 200, spent 10 weeks at number 2 on the R&B albums chart. Super Freak just owned the whole conversation.

"Seven minutes of Rick James and Roy Ayers locked in. That's not a pop song. That's a conversation between two musicians who don't need to prove anything."
Why it got lost: Released in the impossible shadow of Street Songs. Top 3 R&B. Gold album. But Super Freak already owned the room.
03
Deep Cut ยท 1982
Hard to Get
From the album Throwin' Down ยท Gordy/Motown Records ยท R&B #15

Hard to Get is what happens when Rick James writes a spiritual successor to Super Freak and nobody notices because the original is too legendary to compete with. The same DNA is in there โ€” that riff, that bounce, those absurd backing vocals โ€” but it stands on its own.

It hit number 15 on R&B. For most artists that's a career moment. For Rick James in 1982, sandwiched between Super Freak and his Temptations collab on the same record, it practically disappeared. Rick's own estate called it the "get-up-and-boogie feel-good track." Hidden in plain sight for 40 years.

"It's the song you reach for when you don't want to reach for Super Freak again. Hidden in plain sight for over 40 years."
Why it got lost: Same album, same problem. R&B #15 sounds good until you realize it competed with Super Freak's legacy and a Temptations collab on the same record.
