Jay Astraeus reaches for the stars with new EP ‘LU$T’

NEW YORK, NY – With a new and creative style, artist and prducer Jay Astraeus is on a mission to change the sound of Hip Hop. 

Operating out of New York City, this fast-rising young talent has released his debut EP “LU$T” to high praise from industry insiders and fans along the East Coast. It’s the first of a three-part EP, each with five songs that lives under the umbrella of “LU$T.” According to Jay, it’s a project that not only announces to the world his unique talents but also explores deeper aspects of what it means to be successful and achieve one’s dreams.

“The vibe is just where I was at in terms of my mental state when I first started,” Jay said. “At first, all I could think about was money and women and experimenting with certain things. I looked up to that lifestyle when I started making music and I still do to a certain extent – otherwise, I’d just have a regular job and do music on the side. But I want my music to be heard by a large audience and I want a luxurious lifestyle and the women and all the trappings of that life … the lust-filled lifestyle.”

It’s more than just achieving material wealth and notoriety as an artist, however. Jay said one of the most important things he can do as an artist is connect with others in the world and help them unlock deeper truths about themselves and the feelings they try to navigate day in and day out. 

“At the end of the day, I want people to listen to my music and feel something,” he said. “I want them to have an emotional response to it. It doesn’t have to be any one emotion – none of us are only made up of one emotion. I’m not always sad or angry or happy or positive. I’m just a person who feels different emotions, and I want to put that into my music. There aren’t a lot of artists out there who are putting that kind of emotion into their music – they’re just going with whatever will sell. I want to avoid that and be myself and show people my deeper feelings and open up from the heart.”

Ranging from energetic Hip Hop to soothing contemporary R&B swag, Jay’s versatility is unmatched. From a young age, he’s been creating music and over the years, he’s developed a sound that is influenced by both old-school and new-wave sounds. He brings a unique combination of classic emotions with modern flows and productions. Although his rhyme scheme consists of a creative and catchy sound, behind that performance are lyrics full of emotions that few artists today embrace. Jay isn’t afraid to use his music to open up about the struggles of life. While some tracks are fun and uplifting, others provide the lyrical substance many fans today crave. 

Putting all his effort and practice into making high-quality music that deserves a place in today’s industry, Jay began releasing his music earlier this year. His breakout track was released in March and has already garnered thousands of plans across streaming platforms. He’s following that up with the release of “LU$T” and has plans to drop more music to complete the three-part EP over the course of the summer.

Moh Hood – Me

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

Rising East Coast artist, MOH Hood draws on deep Hip Hop roots to deliver explosive new EP, “Talk Money”

ORLANDO, FL – Fiery and dynamic songwriter, MOH Hood has Hip Hop in his blood. We all adapt to our surroundings and Hip Hop is the surroundings for MOH Hood. Decades in this game, Hood has been studying all the Hip Hop greats from when they were unknown and underground to after they broke big. “Hip Hop was the fruit of what we all built most of our fashion, to how we spoke to each other, to how we look to each other, to how we shook each other’s hands,” Hood said. “Everything had something to do with Hip Hop.” Prepped and ready to roll, Hood is bringing his expertise, new energy and aggressive sound to the world with the release of his EP, “Talk Money.”

Originally laying down 20 tracks for a bigger mixtape, Hood and his team chose to release the seven-song EP earlier this month as a taste of what is to come. Recorded at Mr. Wes’ CTC Studios in Orlando, Florida, the diverse collection boasts a highly professional sound with clean, crisp vocals. Hood uses sturdy beats and a smooth cadence that any listeners can vibe to. The “Talk Money” EP can be heard on all major digital platforms.

The entire EP is an introduction, but Hood also released a song called “Me” specifically designed to introduce his MOH Hood persona. “It was me, finally understanding it’s on me to do it,” Hood said. “It’s always been me that did it. Nobody’s gonna come out unless I do it, and I’m introducing myself. This is who I am.”

Born Trevor Mays and originally from Newburgh, New York, Hood was in and out of jail from his late teens. After his last incarceration, this high spirited workhorse spearheaded his family’s initiation into entertainment. The family collective, known by the moniker Mili OnHustle, is the platform that the blood relatives stand on, and they have the formula and nucleus to make projects worth talking about. 

A newly mastered track, “I Gave Everything” features one of the family artists from his crew. “It’s a really good song! The chorus is heartfelt,” Hood said. “It’s telling my family if I don’t make it back home, I gave everything.” As a man who is ride-or-die loyal, Hood is riding for Mili OnHustle and the babies who come behind them, and the song emotionally conveys who is going to be next if he doesn’t survive the journey. “I Gave Everything” will be dropped as part of the hype for Hood’s next big project, “Talk Money 2.” Recently remastered, this full length album will have at least twelve tracks which are destined to attract more attention.

Hood works closely with his business partner, MOH Mili, who he described as his “twin born different-years counterpart.” MOH Mili, the brand owner of Mili OnHustle, is tasked with spreading the word about the team’s mission “instead of being the bully he was known as,” Hood said. Mili and Hood have teamed up to build Mili OnHustle into an official label, and Hood is already working with emerging new artists in the studio. As the front line warrior for the MOH team, Hood is “like the uncle we gotta listen to because he gon’ give it to you like nobody else” as he put it. Hood’s team is ready and willing to bet on him because he’s taking his family along with him.

D’Antré – Deep Sea

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Multigenre sensation, D’Antré delves into carnal activities with wicked new single “Deep Sea”

LOS ANGELES, CA – A prolific and driven musician, D’Antré’s music style is a blend of Trap and Pop mixed with R&B, combined with lyrics about a mixed range of themes. Always full of surprises, he switches from talking about love affairs and heartbreak to more X-rated topics. In the same vein as his popular stripper-themed track, “Got the Juice,” D’Antré just dropped his new single, “Deep Sea.”

Recorded in Redondo Beach, CA, “Deep Sea” is about sexual encounters. For this new Hip Hop release, D’Antré said “I made a different song from talking about love. I don’t just talk about love. I talk about what everyone thinks about. People are always thinking about sex and stuff like that.” Working with a friend, D’Antré made a TikTok skit with his song playing in the background. After the skit amassed a ton of views, the artist decided to release the song as a single for more exposure. Sporting an uptempo groove that you can dance to, “Deep Sea” is destined to kick off a new dance challenge craze with everyone recording themselves dancing to the song.

D’Antré maintains a large catalog of music and loves being in the studio every day. The artist is constantly motivated to put out new tracks, so things happen fast with him. “Deep Sea” comes hot on the heels of the first two songs he released earlier this year – “Fly Wit Me” (which racked up over 250,000 streams in its first 10 days) and “Queen of the Summer.”

His wildly popular 12 song mixtape, “Escape the Ordinary” came out in the middle of last year as an introduction to his voice and unique musical style. Recorded in Washington D.C., the Hip Hop/R&B collection takes its title from his favorite slogan. “That’s my motto. I use “escape the ordinary” for everything,” D’Antré said. “I think everybody should escape the ordinary and do what they want to do.”

D’Antré comes from a musically inclined family and has been involved with music all of his life. He often traveled to LA from Washington D.C. where he is originally from with his DJ father. He remembers deciding to get into music after meeting Bobby Brown and Alicia Keys at the BET Awards. He also had a cousin who made beats, and D’Antré started singing over some beats he created himself. Listeners are naturally drawn to his unusual sound, and once he started adding his music to his skits, his popularity really took off. Increased exposure to industry personnel like meeting Stevie Wonder, Berry Gordie, Tank and Quality Control during a trip to Motown fuelled D’Antré’s interest in building his career. When D’Antré has a vision, he stops at nothing to make sure that vision comes true, and he keeps in close contact with A&R reps and producers who are always interested in what he is up to.

There is much more to look forward to from this ambitious musician. D’Antré plans to bring out a new mixtape, “Crazy Love” around the middle of May. The R&B/Pop love song collection will contain about 8 songs including “Fly Wit Me,” “Queen of Summer” and a song he’s working on right now called “Boomerang.” “Crazy Love” will be followed by another Hip Hop collection within 2 months. The diversity of his musical offerings makes it impossible to put D’Antré in a rigid box. “That’s how I am. I’ll do some R&B, and the next thing you know, I’ll be doing some Hip Hop / Pop type of stuff. That’s how it changes up.”

Young rapper from Puerto Rico drops inspired debut EP ‘Seven’

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – Many of the world’s most notorious artists have stories of how a lightning strike of inspiration led to a hit song being written in little to no time. Young singer/songwriter Stephano Cervantes – artistically known as Coa – is one of the few talented artists in the world who can testify to such a career-changing moment. While spending seven days in Miami, Florida over the New Year’s holiday, he found himself in the midst of one of those lightning strikes of inspiration. The end result is a seven-song EP appropriately titled, “Seven,” currently available across all streaming platforms.

The project blends influences from his home of Puerto Rico with twists on modern sounds found across all sub-genres of Hip Hop – from Hard Rap to Melodic Rap to Bubblegum Rap to Rock and more. Coa is an artist who shows versatility and whose lyrics touch on a diverse range of topics to which almost anyone from any walk of life can relate. Specifically with this EP, Coa said he’s sharing with the world some of his life experiences and goals for the future, while also touching on personal topics that he knows will connect with many listeners around the world.

I want people to enjoy my music and to be able to relate to what I say in my tracks,” he said “I want them to find something of value in my music. If people listening to my music are inspired to affect others positively or are inspired to perform their very own craft – say paint, meditate, compose or even as simple as doing exercises and keep themselves healthy – then my goal would be completed. More than anything, I want to make music that creates a connection and inspires passion. Music has always made me feel a certain way. I feel emotionally attached to it. I believe that there is a power within music that can move people … move the masses. Therefore, I want my music to infect these masses with goodwill and have those masses spread that positivity. It’s an idea I fell in love with since I experienced it through music myself. I fell in love with it because I’ve been moved and inspired by the artists that I respect and admire. Thus, I want to spend the rest of my life making it happen.”

“Seven” is Coa’s first foray into that endeavor. The project opens with an intro skit called “Flip Phone” that is intended to put the listener in Coa’s shoes. A friend calls and wakes him up and invites him to go skateboarding. The rest of the EP should take listeners through the day in the life of a skateboarder and musician, capped with some ear candy via a poem at the end with the outro “Mind Dessert.” The five tracks in the middle take listeners on a ride from Melodic Rap to Rock Rap and everything in between.

The first is “VHS,” the debut single from the project and the one that is getting the most attention to date. It literally describes Coa’s life as a skateboarder and musician, and explores what it takes to keep that balance between his two loves. That’s followed by “Appetite for Destruction,” a song in which Coa takes on an evil alter ego and reaches into a darker part of his mind in ways that bring some grungy, aggressive vibes to the track. The third single is “City Lights,” a groovy, more laid-back track inspired by Coa’s love of Anime. The song samples Coa’s favorite Anime show, “Naruto.” Fourth on the EP is the song “1:44,” which Coa said is his personal favorite. It’s more of a Rock/Rap vibe with vocals that are reminiscent of Kurt Cobain. The song also features an electric guitar solo toward the end. And finally there’s “Give Back,” a Lo-Fi which Coa said is important in that it highlights his desire to inspire others to give back to their communities. 

“I really wanted an EP with a message that people can take and apply immediately,” he said. “If this music thing goes well for me and I’m ever in a position of having a lot of capital, I should always be humble and give back to the people no matter what. I never want to let myself be drawn into greed or selfishness. That’s what this song is about.”

Instruments of Musick – Moving Forward

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog

Instruments of Musick drop perfect single to help people deal with current world affairs

DETROIT, MI – If ever there was a time for a song that helps people through difficult times, now is that time. And brothers Garvin and Gary “Fatman” McKinney have the perfect song. 

The duo performs under the name Instruments of Musick, and their new single “Moving Forward” not only showcases their one-of-a-kind sound and style but also offers a message of hope and inspiration for a world weary from the after effects of a global pandemic.

“It’s a song I wrote about two years ago after me and my family was going through a difficult situation,” Garvin said. “It took us a while to get back on our feet, and that’s what this song is about – pushing through adversities. Don’t let things get you down. It’s an encouragement type of song with a mid-tempo chill, laid-back vibe that is perfect for what’s happening in the world today.”

Operating out of Detroit, Instruments of Musick had been on the scene for a number of years, carving out a niche with their unique blend of inspirational music driven by the pedal steel guitar which is a 10 string instrument played in country western by Fatman. Raised in the church, the brothers joined their mother in playing and singing during weekly worship services. Over the years, their Gospel music evolved to include more universal messages that bring positivity to the world.

“We have a unique sound, especially with the steel guitar,” Garvin said. “That style combined with the way my songwriting goes is something that I don’t really hear in today’s music. There’s not really anything like it, and it’s definitely different than what I hear on the radio these days. Our music is just different – it’s positive and you can’t put it in a box.”

That versatility will be put on further display with Instruments of Musick’s new album which is slated for release later this year. Garvin said it’s an album that will have songs exploring a wide range of emotions and experiences – from depression to dance-inducing fun times. And more than anything, it will feature a lot of instrumentals from the brothers. 

 “The songs on that album are meant to offer listeners positivity and hope and looking to the future. We want to bring that positivity in everything we do. We’re just trying to lift people up. And we’re hoping that with this album we can take things to the next level,” Garvin said.

“Moving Forward” is slated to release across multiple streaming platforms on April 30, with the full album to follow later in the year.

Leo Amari dares people to shoot for their dreams
with new EP ‘Mud on the Moon’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Keep your eye on your dreams, no matter how difficult it gets. That’s the message East Coast rapper Leo Amari wants to send to fans all over the world. It’s also the message at the forefront of his latest EP, “Mud on the Moon,” which is slated to drop across all streaming platforms on April 24.

“A lot of people nowadays aren’t shooting for their dreams,” Leo said. “They’re always settling for the 9-to-5 and a lot of times it’s because they’re listening to the critics and the small talk about them. But this EP is trying to tell them to keep letting those people talking and just prove them wrong. I want to show people that they can shoot for their dreams.”

The eight-song project has more of an up-tempo vibe, Leo said, and builds off the momentum he’s created for himself over the past couple of years as an independent artist. His first project, released last year, was one that explored the struggles of his life and related to listeners through a shared pain. This album will be more commercial and show the world that he has the skills and talent to compete with other mainstream artists. 

“It’s still my sound and anyone who is familiar with my first project will recognize me in this one,” he said, “but this one has a little bit of everything. You could play it in the clubs or pretty much anywhere.”

Leo said he worked closely with a young, up-and-coming producer named Finnick who at only 18 years of age is already creating beats and sounds that are being desired by big names in the industry. Those beats pair perfectly with Amari’s adept ability to lay down lasting lyrics that cut to the core and are immediately relatable with people from all walks of life.

“What sets me apart is my work ethic and my stories,” he said. “A lot of people can relate to my stories that I’m putting out there. So while I might sound similar to others on the market in some ways, I still will have my own stories. Everything I talk about comes from my life – either something I’ve experienced or seen, or something a friend has gone through. And through my music, my story can become your story because I’ll be saying stuff that’s true to me but also can relate to anyone else.”

Leo said as a child growing up in the D.C. area, he was influenced by artists like Lil Wayne, Eminem, 50 Cent, Jay Z and more. He points to their musical style, diversity and beat choices as things that stood out to him and which he tried to emulate when he began to pursue his own career in music.

As a former member of a sensational male group, Leo had a two-year whirlwind of excitement and opportunity. He’s performed in every major arena in the D.C. metropolitan area and also had the chance to perform at the BET Experience in LA in 2015. He’s been highlighted at the iHeart Media presentation, as well as the Radio One show “Blitz.” And one of the hits with his former group saw wide-reaching airplay on radio stations all over the U.S. 

Before departing from the group, Leo was able to work with skilled song writers and producers. Some of the producers he’s worked with include Yung Berg “Hitmaka,” Drumma Boy, Zaytoven and Lee on the Beats. All of those producers had made hits with other well-known artists including Jason Derulo, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Wale, Kid Ink, Juicy J, August Alsina, Drake, Future, The Migos, Gucci Mane, DJ Khaled, Yo Gotti and Chris Brown.

For Leo’s new EP, he has partnered with Twenty-Two Recordings and Universal Music Group under a distribution deal.

Adocea – Alright

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

Eclectic British songwriter taps into Jamaican heritage with new single ‘Alright’

LONDON, ENGLAND – In certain parts of Jamaica, it’s not uncommon to find individuals with names that nod to the rich history of the country. Adocea is one such name. But for the London-based musician Adocea, the name isn’t merely a nod to her Jamaican heritage. It’s also a way of honoring her mother whose middle name is Adocea. 

“My mom is my reason for everything,” she said. “Everyone needs to have a reason for their journey and she’s that for me. She was born into a large family in Jamaica and came to England. My father treated her badly and he wasn’t there for most of my life, so she and I became very close. She’s very selfless – always trying to help other people and willing to give them the shirt off her back. But life was hard on her, and I want to celebrate her.”

Adocea is an exciting new artist who, after many years of songwriting and setbacks, has finally decided to showcase her music with the world. Her newest single, “Alright,” taps into her Jamaican heritage and fuses those sounds of the Caribbean with the various odd other influences she adopted from a youth filled with eclectic tastes. The song is about not playing games and not wanting to argue with a significant other – essentially letting go of whatever it is that’s bothering you and saying, “It’s alright.” 

“I grew up in a musically eclectic household and this song is kind of a culmination of that,” Adocea said. “My mom would play reggae and dance hall music all the time. She also listened to a lot of country. My brothers were into rap – one was a Biggie fan and the other was into Tupac. My other sister was into R&B. So I had so many different influences growing up that sort of shaped who I am as an artist. When I was 15, I went from writing a lot of poetry into songwriting, but I never really had a desire to be on stage. I had a few setbacks with my music and I eventually thought to just try one more time because life is short. So I’m putting my music out there to see how it will be received.”

Adocea said the single blends her Jamaican roots with a dance hall vibe underneath a reggae beat that feels distinctly “English.” And like all of her music, “Alright” is lyrically cleaner and less vulgar than most music out there today. She said she makes a point of writing songs that are clean not only because she feels like it will cater to a wider audience but also because she wants her music to be something that can inspire younger generations to make positive change in the world. 

“In Jamaica today, there is so much potential for the future. But the lyrics of so much of our music is no good for the youth of that nation,” Adocea said. “I want to be someone who creates change. I want people to listen to my music and have fun without having to listen to anything vulgar.”

In addition to “Alright,” Adocea’s hard at work on an EP that she hopes to release sometime in the next few months. She’s also planning on a video for “Alright” and is eager to connect with new fans on social media.

Blackmagick Floe – Captain

Blog, ME Blog, Music

Mixture of melodies and trap come together on
hot new single from East Coast artist Blackmagick Floe

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Blackmagick Floe is a diverse artist radiating out of Virginia Beach whose eclectic compositions combine witty wordplay with a dark persona in ways that are making people all along the East Coast sit up and pay attention. That fanbase is about to take a major leap forward with the release of his newest single, “Captain.”

With lyrics that explore what it means to take control of one’s life and be the captain of their own ship, the darker tones of the song demonstrate Blackmagick’s mastery of a specific sound that he likes to call “Badu Trap.”

“I like Erykah Badu a lot, and I feel like I incorporate her soul into my music which is why I call my sound Badu Trap,” Blackmagick said. “I’m putting melodies on a trap beat and get listeners hooked. But at the end of the day, you can feel what I’m saying and you can feel the quality of the music in a way that doesn’t feel manufactured. It’s organic and raw.”

Blackmagick said in some ways the single was a wake-up call for himself in that he realized he had to put his money where his mouth was if he was going to challenge the world with the thoughts and ideas he was bringing to life with this song. His passion is music and investing in that passion is something he’s starting to do with vigor. Self-described as “relentless” when it comes to his pursuit of excellence, this young artist is already making a name for himself as a hard-working, multi-talented individual whose unique perspective in the industry is much needed.

“I think this song is a good introduction to who I am,” he said. “It’s melodic and fits the sound of today’s culture, and it’s not just another shoot-em-up and kill-em rap song. It takes a creative approach and paints a picture for you. And the message is one that I live by in everything I do — Don’t give up. Don’t stop. It’s easy to get discouraged, but you can’t give up. So many people want magic in a bottle, but there are levels of success and you have to put in the work to climb that ladder. I make high quality music and I’m never gonna stop doing that, but I just have to keep raising the bar and putting out something even better every time.”

Toward that end, Blackmagick said he already has another major single in the works that he hopes to release later this summer. He also has plans to line up some live performances later this year when the social distancing order is lifted.

Dj Prosperity – Tap In

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

Seasoned musician, DJ Prosperity collaborates with Kdot to bring out a fresh new style of music

HOUSTON, TX – Singer, songwriter and producer Morgan Moore (also known by her professional name, DJ Prosperity) delivers an amazing fusion of various instrumental sounds, groovy rhythms and an overall chill vibe. With over 20 years of experience in instrumentation, Prosperity has developed a great ear for selecting melodic sounds and instruments for musical compositions. Her uncommon music style derives influences from Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz and Pop.

Keithan Randall (professionally known as Kdot), also from Houston, is a musician, artist and entrepreneur. Prosperity and Kdot, who have known each other since their High School marching band days, combine their musical mastery on their first project together, an album titled “VII.” Recorded at Pyrex Mafia Muzik in Houston, the very up-tempo, instrumental album came out on all major digital platforms earlier this year. Showcasing an upbeat and full sound, the album’s tracks are highly melodic with a deeply live feel. The debut single, “Tap In” is an alluring track with complex instrumentation. Kdot added “I was really inspired by Morgan. She played more of a major role on the instrumentation for that song.”

The “VII” album, originally intended to contain ten tracks, takes its name from the number of songs which made it to the final product. Prosperity had submitted “Tap In” for performances during an NBA game. Pressed to make the deadline for submission, Kdot ended up getting seven tracks completed before losing access to the studio. 

As a child, Prosperity always had an interest in music. At nine years old, she performed in a talent show by singing songs of artists such as Whitney Houston. She was highly inspired by Whitney, Toni Braxton, Donell Jones, Kdot, and J Cole, along with other artists such as Franky Beverly, Jill Scott, Donell Jones, and Jagged Edge over the years. She joined the school band and played saxophone all the way through High School. Afterwards, she took up the keyboards and began playing and recording music. “That’s how I was able to get my sound,” Prosperity said, “by practicing all the time.” Her musical background and extensive music expertise helps Prosperity create music with a completely unique feel.

More exciting collaborative work is on the horizon for Kdot and DJ Prosperity. She will be working with Kdot on the revamping and re-release of music from his 2019 album, “Midtown Main.” As the project manager for the upcoming label, Rich Records Worldwide, Kdot also has access to several R&B artists. To meet the increased demand for low-fi 90s sounds and R&B releases, Kdot plans to work with Prosperity on some slower, more down beat music with an R&B flavor. Rich Records is helping Houston’s indie artist community by providing a long list of services, including social media marketing, music production classes, videography and more.

With disruptions to the live music industry from COVID-19, DJ Prosperity can focus her energy on creating amazing and uplifting music. “I want to convey a message of positivity, love and togetherness, which are needed in the world today,” said Prosperity.
