Boaz BagBag Continues to Bring Hope to Where It’s Needed

Industry Spotlight

New York City based Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Boaz BagBag has established another new business. He’s been able to create funding for the business with the help of some investors from Wall Street. So far Boaz has been able to obtain a good amount of start-up funding for his latest business endeavor. Always a smart businessman, Boaz has clearly put together a solid business plan for the company. And more importantly, others can also see his vision and are willing to support it. The first round of funding being issued out for the company will be in the amount of $50 million. This round of funding will only be used for the car rentals, the deliveries, and the fleet operations. As you can imagine, these are very crucial areas to the success of the company. Which of course means they will also require consistent and steady funding.

This new company endeavor will help bring in a substantial amount of high value jobs throughout the East Coast and Down South as well. Boaz is opening up the business’s first locations in the New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Atlanta areas. And of course they will be opening up other locations in different areas and states as they continue to expand. The company will offer a variety of programs allowing for numerous people to be able to get a job. But most of their programs will be catering to the minority communities in the areas where they open up locations. By creating these steady jobs, Boaz is looking to provide new opportunities and better features to minority communities such as the Spanish and Black communities. The company is also working with Non Profit Organizations and other agencies to help better the communities they’re in and the surrounding areas.

Anthony Noah – I’ll See You Later

Blog, Industry Spotlight, Music

Multi-talented artist blends fusion of sounds on fiery new single ‘I’ll See You Later’ 

ELMIRA, NY – A new love song that expertly blends elements of Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B and more is set to set the world on fire this fall when Anthony Noah releases his hit single “I’ll See You Later.” 

Pulled from his own experience of heartbreak and lost love, “I’ll See You Later” explores the depths of relationships in ways that almost anyone around the world will be able to relate. It’s also a song that makes use of Noah ’s eclectic style – a blend of sound and inspiration that comes from a wide range of artists that include Smokey Robinson, Khalid, The Manhattans, Chris Brown, and XXXTentacion. In fact, it’s XXXTentacion’s “Whoa (Mind In Awe)” that served as the first inspiration for Noah ’s new song. 

“His song certainly inspired the sound for this single,” Noah said. “Although it’s a song about heartbreak and wanting to stay in a relationship you don’t want to let go of, it has that kind of hip-hop beat to it. It’s 100 percent based on my own personal experience. There was a girl who was going through an extremely rough time and I was someone who was there for her and a support system. It seemed like things were getting better, but it took a turn and from then it was out of my hands and there was nothing I could do about it. So I’m expressing my love and basically saying that regardless of whatever is going on in her life right now I’ll always have that love for her and I’ll have her back.” 

Raised by his mother alongside four other brothers, Noah grew up singing in the church choir. Though being in church was his first musical experience, he learned to appreciate the talents of many gifted singers and songwriters. Going back to the days of Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson and other singers from Motown fame, up to the early 2000s singers, Noah was always inspired by love songs. He learned how to express his heartfelt emotions through the storytelling of his life, while weaving in real-world scenarios that connect with a wide global audience. Although he has been broken-hearted and dealt with loss, depression, anxiety, and fear, the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ changed everything for him – which he said directly influences the love he expresses in his songs.  

“Ultimately I hope I’m known for my faith, and that the love I feel from that is expressed through my music,” he said. “In my genre of music, as a Pop artist, people don’t talk about that a lot. My faith inspires me to have a huge love in my heart for people in general. I know there are people out there feeling the way I felt before, trying to make it through their next day because they’re heartbroken. I know my music can give them a sense that there’s someone else out there who has been through what they’re going through; and my music can help them get through the next day. I bring an R&B and Pop fusion that blends different genres, like hip-hop – my vibe is so unique and so new – but ultimately what sets me apart is my love for people.”

Bsenjo – Risen Lord

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Besenjo and Harlem Gospel Choir offer blessing to the world with new single ‘Risen Lord’ 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Anybody who listens to the music of East Coast R&B artist Bsenjo should be blessed. With an otherworldly vocal ability and uplifting lyrics, this young artist on the rise is showcasing an impressive talent that has led to multiple collaborations with big names in the industry. And she’s set to expand that notoriety to the global stage with her latest hit single “Risen Lord,” slated for release across all streaming platforms on Sept. 19. 

Born Belinda Senjo in the northwest region of Cameroon, this contemporary Gospel artist and songwriter eventually moved to the U.S. in her teenage years to pursue music. Prior to moving to the States, however, she started making a name for herself as a young woman with an impressive vocal range and the ability to emote with others through song. In 2010, while still living in Cameroon, she released her first album “Stand On Your Faith.” And though the reception from that project was limited to her region, it was enough to spur her on to continue pursuing a dream as a global recording artist. 

In 2013 she won the American DV Lottery and was able to move to the U.S. Soon after arriving she began to do covers of artists who inspired her – including Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Tasha Cobbs and CeCe Winans. She would post the covers to her various social media platforms and began gaining an ever-increasing group of fans. In 2014 she decided to showcase her talent to the rest of the world by auditioning for America’s Got Talent, and then again in 2016. The experience took her career to the next level.  

She hasn’t looked back since, and in the ensuing years she has dropped hit single after hit single. The latest is “Risen Lord,” and it’s the perfect song to showcase her evolution as an artist. Featuring the esteemed Harlem Gospel Choir, the song serves as an acknowledgement of everything God has done in her life and give Him all the glory for the success she’s seen to date as a recording artist. 

“Through all the storms in my life and the dark times, he has always been there to light my path and get my way around it and through it all,” Bsenjo said. “More than anything I want my music to be known for its authenticity and for helping people to know the fear of God. Everybody listening to my song should end up being blessed. I want to give people Jesus, not goosebumps. I want them to learn about and appreciate the love of God – and reflect on how good God has been to us. Every single moment of our lives is because of His mercy and grace. He will always be there during our dark times and our happy times. So more than anything I want my music to inspire people to trust God.”

Nilooteh – Watch Me

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Nilooteh uses power of music to inspire others to embrace free spirit 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Nilooteh is a woman with a rebel heart that isn’t meant to be tamed – a wild child with a free spirit and reckless mind. She’s the kind of free-spirited woman who is stifled in a strict regime like her home country of Iran, which forces women to cover their body and hair from head-to-toe. Women in Iran don’t have the freedom to do what they want, even when it comes to pursuing a career. And artistic pursuits are extremely frowned upon. But Nilooteh knew she had to be true to herself and break free from those constraints, so she moved to the U.S. 

Now based in Los Angeles, this budding young artist is setting the world on fire with her unique sound and style. From music to fashion to art and various other forms of inspirational multi-media, Nilooteh is an artist demanding attention. And she’s showcasing that unique individuality across four new singles that she’ll be releasing every two weeks over the next two months.  

The first release is “Watch Me,” a Deep House track with engaging EDM vibes meant to introduce the world to her unique brand of art. Slated for release across all streaming platforms on Sept. 9, the song embraces the idea of love in its many forms, and encourages listeners to not only tap into the energy and use it as a mood-booster, but also to consider what it means to be someone who loves without limits. 

“If the Divine Source creates all that is beautiful and is working through everything, then the more you love, the more you embrace all parts of yourself, others, nature, and all beauty of the world,” she said. “This leads to better union and integration with the Source and provides true healing. As a result, you reclaim your rightful divine power. You also fully accept in yourself and others what is not of the Source – not beautiful – but realize that it is an error in understanding or choice. You forgive yourself or the other and work to achieve understanding. Ultimately I believe that women have the right to be free, and all the lyrics of my songs are about being wild and instinctive and sexual and sensual. It’s a little bit extra, but I want it to be because I want to show the world that I’m bold.” 

Nilooteh said she wants to focus her music on that idea of freedom – both physically and mentally. She said too many people today are prisoners of their own thoughts and she hopes her music will become the vehicle behind which more people in the world find true freedom. She moved to the U.S. to find that freedom, and now that she has she’s excited to use her music to help free others.

Collin Terrel – F*ck Today

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Collin Terrel is 100% honest in new album The Gist of It 

INGLEWOOD, CA – Pursuing a PHD in Media Studies and a career as an artist is more than a full time job, but this Rapper is defying the odds. Collin Terrel is speaking the truth and sharing his abundance of unique experiences with the world in his latest project, an album titled The Gist of It. This project takes you through all of the reasons that Terrel is following the path that he’s on, with insightful lyricism and a unique and extremely relevant perspective. 

The Gist of It delves into important topics ranging from how socio-economic systems have affected Terrel as he grew from a child in a less than ideal situation to an adult pursuing a Doctorate degree, to the importance of self care in a hyper-’woke’ society, all the way to the way we survive in this world. His music fits people of all walks of life in some way or another, truly bringing people together across communities. Terrel truly did an amazing job with creating each and every one of the songs on this album. 

One of the most relevant and conceptually important songs in this project is “Fuck Today”. This track, the lead single on the album, is about taking the time to take care of yourself and not worry about all of the politics and problems in the world. “Everyone uses the word ‘woke’ when they talk about being aware of the things around them, but when you’re ‘woke’ all the time, you’re not getting any sleep. Sometimes I end up exhausted.” “Fuck Today” is Robinson’s way of picturing a day where he can just relax and not deal with the stress that comes from being ‘woke’ all of the time. In the world we all live in today, this is something that so many  struggle with and that we can all take notes on. 

Another noteworthy track on this album that focuses on self care is “Lunch and Recess”. This track goes back to the basics — things we’ve all known since childhood. “This song means a lot to me. These are the two parts of the day when you’re not receiving instruction as a child, but they’re still incredibly important. This is where you learn to interact with people and actually move throughout the world.” These are the times when we really learn who we are as people and develop personalities. “It’s where we learn how to eat and play the game for keeps.” Another amazing track on the album, “Lunch and Recess” is about how we exist in the world, something that virtually everyone can take something from. 

The Gist of It is a project that allowed Terrel to fully express himself, with no limits or commentary from others. It is a place where we as an audience can truly see him for who he is as both a Rapper and a human being. It’s not the only project he has in the works though. He is preparing to release two videos to go along with the album and is already working on a new EP to be released in early 2022. 

Be sure to check out Collin Terrel on all streaming platforms and follow him on social media to keep up with the new music and other projects that he has in store. Links to all of these things can be found listed below.

Jamaul II and 2Koldd – TRACK 2

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Best friends continue impressive artistic output with new hit single ‘Track 2’ 

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST – Two hip-hop artists from the South have put their many years of camaraderie and collaboration together to create a hot new track that’s sure to create major buzz all across the U.S. “Track 2” is a head-nodding banger with a bouncy vibe and a Trap twist that perfectly represents the impressive artistry of Jamaul II and 2Koldd. It’s a song that you can’t help but bop your head to, with fun lyrics that are infinitely repeatable and a groove that will make you want to move your body. It’s a Trappy song with a dark feel, but the upbeat energy offers a fun bump that audiences all over the world will soon be enjoying. 

“Everything we’re saying in this song makes you want to get after it,” 2Koldd said. “It’s an upbeat type song, even though the video is a little dark. When you hear it, it makes you want to do something – get active with it and go workout in a gym or something. We think it’s something cool and relatable for the masses.” 

“Track 2” is the latest from this hip-hop duo that has been performing together for more than 15 years. They first met in fourth grade and soon developed a friendship that shared a mutual passion for music. Their individual talents played perfectly together from the very beginning – with Jamaul II offering an introspective, moody vibe; and 2Koldd bringing an edginess to his lyrical mastery. Together they’ve been creating impressive singles year after year, and with “Track 2” they’re hoping to introduce their sound to an even bigger audience. 

Jamaul II was born in San Diego but spent most of his youth in New Orleans. That vast cultural and geographical influence directly shaped his sound and style. Music has been the most important part of his life, he said, and through his music he’s been able to relate with a lot of people over the years. Most people would describe him as a cool and down-to-earth guy with a smooth and mysterious demeanor. Those characteristics shine through his music, and have made him a fan favorite throughout the South.  

2Koldd was born in Atlanta and has lived in the small town of Moss Point, Mississippi for most of his life. His parents were friends with Jamaul’s parents, and that’s how the two of them met. Similarly to his friend, 2Koldd fell in love with music at an early age while listening to Jazz, Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Funk music. His uncle was the band director at the high school they both attended, and they both developed their skills while learning to play various instruments.  

“Music is the most powerful tool in the universe,” 2Koldd said. “I love to listen to it. I love to produce it. And I love to record it. I am music. And I want our music to help people – for them to be able to listen to it and feel good.” 

“I agree with that,” Jamaul II said. “I hope people can turn on one of our songs and it will lift them out of a depressing moment. That’s what music has done for me. I remember a personal moment for me when I was very depressed and I listened to Kendrick Lamar’s album and it transported me to another dimension. I felt everything he was saying. We want to be able to do that for others.” 

Jamaul II and 2Koldd said they have another music video ready to drop very soon called “Icy, as well as a new single called “OT” that they hope to release in the next month. To listen to their music, or to follow them on social media, please visit the following links:

[NEW] ROC-O-STAR releases new single “She Work”

Blog, Industry Spotlight

Roc-O-Star was born in Anderson, Indiana. He was raised by a single mom and partially by Foster Care system. His father was a musician and had a strong background in the music industry. Roc-O-Star early on, developed an interest in music like his father. He wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and had a powerful drive to improve his lifestyle and get out of the environment he was in. In addition he attended his Grandfather’s church that also drove his desire in music. While being partially part of the Foster Care system, he never had the opportunity to see any live performances or attend any concerts as financial resources were limited during his childhood and young teen years. Yet his drive to create music grew as he got older and that is when his journey began!

Roc-O-Star never liked the norm and was always into the oldies like Muddy waters, Chuck Berry and BB King, to name a few. Roc-O-Star took a mixture of different sounds he loved and created his Roc-O-Star sound. As his music career started to expand, he had to put his music career on hold to help raise his son. He wanted to be the best father he could be to son and provide him a better life than what his mother and father had provided for him. He had two great role models while growing up and they were his Uncle Derrik and Aunt Marcia. And he wanted to make sure he was a great role model to his son. While putting a hold on his music career and doing side jobs here and there, he was disciplined enough to set himself financially well enough to open up a youth facility called DC Complex. Dc Complex helps support sports training in all ages, to include unprivileged youth. The facility gives back to the community by offering kids that aren’t as fortunate to afford community programs and helps in participating in Dc Complex programs. DC Complex is currently working on a mentor/tutoring program which will include sports. Roc-O-Star helps in mentoring the children that come from single parent homes to include children with no Father’s in their lives.

Roc-O-Star’s music is being described by those that hear his music as “Alternative Rock”. Roc-O-Star calls it “Thought Music”. Even though this style originated from African American’s, not many of do this type of genre. With heart-felt lyrics, melodic melody line, timeless guitar licks, you will instantly become a fan. His work and sounds include work with Puma Stage, FitBit Ad, Xbox, IPhone ad, Coca Cola ad, Dave Conely Weta Digital (Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Hobbit USA, Ocean Spray). He has toured in Germany, China & Japan. He has also worked and was lead singer with a band called Black Steel Rose on Bamboozled and Warped Tour. His first single “Driving” will make you want to cruise all day in the sunshine or night and feel the breeze riding down PCH. Roc-O-Star has a Catalogue of about 3500 songs deep and growing.
