Atlanta-based independent artist Plush Sanches, also known as Jerry H. Strong III, is set to release his highly anticipated 6-track EP, 'Dread It,' on August 21, 2026, via the Illinois-based DaOne Records.

'Dread It' is a genre-blending opus, combining elements of Digital Trap, Alt Rock, Alt Pop, Hip-Hop, and Alt Rap. The EP offers a compelling exploration of themes such as authenticity, financial sovereignty, and vigilant independence. Plush Sanches strips away synthetic industry facades to present unfiltered narratives and masterful production, epitomized in the standout track “No Paint,” a digital trap anthem that defies external labels and emphasizes internal drive.
Plush Sanches explains, “This project isn’t built on temporary hype. Dread It is about internal ignition, patient capital reinvestment, and establishing an absolute standard of independence.” Each track reflects a disciplined effort to build an artistic and economic ecosystem from the ground up.
The six-track EP showcases Plush’s versatility and creative vision:
