ARTEM levels up with soul-lifted groove “Upgraded”

Washington, DC-based artist ARTEM is making a name for himself with "Upgraded," a new blend of hip-hop, jazz, and soul that sounds like sunshine breaking through urban clouds.

ARTEM's music has a resiliency that uplifts without preaching. "Upgraded" is slick but forceful, blending punchy room instruments with bold lyrics that reflect growth and self-belief. A track that makes you straighten your back, breathe out, and step into your next chapter a little lighter.

What sets "Upgraded" apart is the blending of genres. You can still hear the hip-hop edge in the flow, but there's a depth drawn from jazz and soul that keeps the vibe layered and timeless. This is music that doesn't just entertain, it ascends.

To ARTEM, the song is much more than a track, it's an announcement. A statement from an artist from DC, tirelessly working to ensure his voice is heard. On "Upgraded," he doesn't just make music, he lays the groundwork for big-canvas moves to come.
