Emerging R&B artist, Kay continues to appeal to listeners across generations with new single, “Can’t Call It”

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA –  Since launching his career a few years ago, the artist known as Kay has been popular with music lovers of all ages. Through determination and experimentation, Kay is able to make music that reaches across generations. He continues to thrill his diverse audience with his latest single, “Can’t Call It.”

The singer-songwriter takes a modern approach to the R&B genre. His sound is very contemporary but his harmonies give his music a nostalgic feeling at the same time. Kay has a unique and authentic voice, which he uses to its full potential in all of his songs.

Recorded at Blue Sky Studios in Chesapeake, Virginia, the new single, “Can’t Call It” was produced and co-written by Atlanta singer songwriter ForteBowie. The mid tempo track discusses being involved with a friend with benefits. As Kay explained, when she wants to take the relationship to another level beyond, his response is “I understand that things are good but I don’t know if I’m ready. You know – I can’t call it.” “Can’t Call It” is slated for release on May 18 on all the major digital platforms.

Kay’s early releases, “Back Inside” and “Feelin’ You Up” racked up thousands of streams on popular digital platforms. He followed this success with a number of releases which saw him experimenting with his sound to reach a younger audience. Through hard work and experience, his sound has greatly matured. “Now,” he said, “I feel I’m more comfortable within my sound.”

Working with two producers, ForteBowie and K’Ron out of DC, Kay released the five-track EP, “Sounds Like Kay,” late last year. Kay was looking to bring out some smooth R&B to fill the gap for “Love R&B” which he felt was missing. One track in particular, “Locked Down” represents the vibe that the artist was aiming for. Conveying that someone shouldn’t be embarrassed to say that they have someone special, the song asserts that someone shouldn’t be ashamed to be devoted to one woman. Kay said “I feel like some people think monogamy is lame now. You know, you gotta have all the girls now.”

Also in 2019, Kay released his 90s-influenced anthem “Crush,” which was produced by K’Ron. “Crush,” which appealed to an even younger generation with its familiar “Love R&B” theme, talks about being in a relationship with someone special, but not being in a rush to go further than the other person wants to.

Originally from Lakewood, New Jersey, Kay Damon’s interest in music flourished at an early age. Growing up in Jersey, he listened to artists like Lauryn Hill and the Fugees. His musical inspirations come from R&B of the 2000s and 90s, and the biggest influences on Kay’s own sound were artists such as Usher, Mario, Lloyd and Chris Brown.

Following the release of “Can’t Call It,” Kay plans to release another single in late summer or early fall. He is also working on a new EP titled “Sounds Like Kay 2.” Skilled at making music that has a wide appeal and makes you want to be in love, Kay is bringing out music that fits the mood when you’re hanging out with your significant other or when you are on your own.

‘Bands Ova Night’ sets stage for rebirth of West Coast artist Rich Debiase

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Rich Debiase is one of those artists who can’t stop making hit after hit. Over the past decade, he’s dropped so many singles and EPs that his sound can be heard in nearly all corners of the world. And it’s not a sound that’s static – no, it’s a sound that has changed and evolved over the years to reflect not only the modern vibes that have become popular through Hip Hop but also to share the inspirations of his own life with the rest of the world.

Most recently, that evolution can be seen with his hot new single, “Bands Ova Night.” Dubbed as a “hard-hitting reality rap,” the new song is one that Rich said is full of energy and will stick in the listeners minds long after they stop listening.

“I just had to tell the truth on this one,” he said. “There’s so much going on in the industry right now and I felt like I had to hit on some hard reality. Basically, I’m just saying that we wanna go get that money fast. We’re not waiting for it and sitting around. As fast as they can print it, we can go get it. We just dropped a video for this on May 15 and it’s already blowing up. I predict 3 million views in two months, and that’s because the world needs this kind of song right now. They need some of that new-school Tupac that I bring. They need somebody to give them that thorough raw-ness and confident energy.”

The single is actually the first off a new album from Rich called “Rich Report” which is due out in mid-July. The 13-track album will put his new vibe and energy on full display. It’s a project that he calls his “rebirth.” For much of his career to date, he’s been known by the name J-Rich and that name and brand has developed a very specific reputation. It’s a reputation he’s proud of but it’s also one that he recognizes must evolve in order to continue to have a powerful voice in the music industry today. This forthcoming album and his new name Rich Debiase, is testament to the kind of artist he can be – one who can change with the times and who will always bring relevant messages through his modern-sounding music.

“I rap about shit I see in everyday life and not everybody sees what I see every day,” he said. “I’m not rapping about other people’s lives or things I don’t experience. Nobody has had my experiences or seen the things I’ve seen the way I’ve seen them. So I’m giving back my real-life experiences through my music. It’s not cap Rap. It’s reality Rap. I see it and I rap about it. And at the end of the day, it’s all about motivating people. When you see me, you see someone who came from absolutely nothing. I came from poverty. I’m living proof through my music and lifestyle that you can come from nothing and make something. My music lets people know that where there’s a will, there’s a way. If you put in hard work and keep grinding and keep your nose clean, you’ll get to where you want to go. It ain’t easy, but my story shows you that it can be done.”

Fortunxte inspires others to pursue dreams with vibey new album ‘Inertia’

FLINT, MI – Newton’s First Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In terms of life-change, it often takes a powerful force to move someone from a place of complacency to an intentional active pursuit of fulfilling one’s dreams. That stillness before the action is called inertia and it’s that process that Michigan artist Fortunxte explores with his new 12-song album of the same name – “Inertia”.  Eight songs on the album were produced by my brother who goes by the name Trey Timez. One of those songs is “Black Don’t Crack”.

“I’m basically saying we are that force of gravity that controls whether we reach our goals or not,” Fortunxte said of his album which is currently available across all streaming platforms. “I’m trying to capture the power of thought with a vibe that is like something you can ride to. There are a lot of melodies in there because I love to work with melodies, and there’s a lot of lyrical rap with a message. That’s what I want my music to be known for – dope music with a message. I’m trying to say something to people and I want my music to inspire and have an impact on their lives.”

Based out of Flint, Michigan, Fortunxte uses his love and gift for writing music as a form of therapy – telling stories about his life struggles and internal struggles with self-doubt. Through music, he attempts to convey messages that spark inspiration with others. As the son of a musician and manager for other artists, young Fortunxte grew up in the studio. Though he said he never had a desire to be a professional musician when he was young, the process of writing and singing and creating a song has always been something that he’s loved. While in college, he was drawn to the professionalism of some friends who were creating music and recording new songs, and it was through that process that he realized he has a passion for it that he knows won’t be satisfied until he’s put all his effort into seeing his dreams realized. 

“I’ve been doing it seriously ever since then,” he said. “It’s innate in me and over the years, I’ve developed a style that I think shows how I approach making music differently than anyone else out there. I’m not going to write a song if it doesn’t mean anything. I want to make music to strike a chord in you – to make you feel something. If my words or melodies or songs aren’t going to do that, then I don’t want to do it.”

Perhaps the best example of this from the new album is the single “Stripes” which has already garnered the young artist thousands of plays across streaming platforms. The upbeat, fun record explores the trials and tribulations of Fortunxte’s life in a way that reminds listeners that it’s OK to have fun after you’ve worked hard. 

“Sometimes you need to have that stress release and just go out there and have fun,” he said. 

Another single that’s resonating with fans is “Black Don’t Crack” which will soon be getting an animated video perhaps by the end of May, Fortunxte said. It’s a song that he says he wrote in response to the number of African Americans being shot and killed. 

“I was angry and frustrated and disappointed in America,” he said. “I wanted to tell my people that no matter what happens – no matter how many get killed or degraded or put down – we won’t fold. We’ll keep on striving and keep on going no matter what.”

That song and others are making a splash for this young up-and-coming artist, and increasing numbers of fans across the U.S. are clamoring to get a taste of his unique sound and style.

Dallas rapper Jugoso sets a sexy vibe with new single ‘Jugoso Mood’

DALLAS, TX – Javier “Jugoso” Robles is a man of many talents. The former Marine from Dallas, Texas is not only an entrepreneur with a successful trucking business but also has a highly creative mind and unique ability to pair lyrical metaphors with catchy beats for the kind of music that sticks in the ears for a long time. His is the kind of music that sets a mood – from fun to somber to introspective to romantic and everything in between.

His newest single, “Jugoso Mood,” is the kind of song that creates an environment perfect for a sexual evening with that special someone. Currently available across all streaming platforms, it’s a song that Jugoso has seen garner him thousands of plays and which is creating a buzz for this up-and-coming artist. He said it’s the kind of song that not only reflects the kind of music he makes, but also illustrates his ability to write lyrics that go beyond just catchy hooks.

“I make what I like to listen to,” he said. “I’ve been told I like to ride the beat. I usually start by finding a beat I like a lot and start writing to that – finding the hook first and then working my way backward. I use a lot of alliteration, metaphors and similes. And I make references to all kinds of things, from political events to sports to double entendres inspired by culture. I want you to remember it after you hear it, especially the hook. And I want you to recognize that my music is more mature than you might think. As long as someone really enjoys the song, that’s all I want. I think that’s what music is really all about. You don’t have to raise your pitchfork for every song. You don’t have to be an activist. If you just like the song, that’s cool for me. But if something else comes out of it, great!”

Jugoso is a first generation Mexican-American whose parents moved to the U.S. before he was born. Though music was always something he loved as a child, he never considered making a career of it. He credits the band Linkin Park for inspiring him to consider creating music of his own. 

“When I heard them, I was blown away,” Jugoso said. “I thought it was so cool how they mixed Rap and Rock in the way they did. That’s what started my interest in what possibilities there could be for me with music. I had always dabbled in writing music but it was very rudimentary when I first started. When I got serious about it, I started studying some of the greats and people I really love like Lil Wayne and Mint Condition, and even Whitney Houston. I love her voice. I also studied people like Aaliyah and Tank. I think that shows in the music I make because I don’t stick to one style or flow. I can make Dance music or R&B or Rap or whatever. As long as someone really enjoys the song, that’s all I want.”
