Nuage~Soul calls out the pretenders with new single “Rap Cap” @oohitsnuagesoul

Music

Growing up you learn to use your imagination in ways to occupy your mind for other thoughts. The older you get the different ways you choose to use your imagination. In some ways it will also lead you to pretending, but in the streets pretending is a lie that can get you exposed or worse.

Nuage~Soul is not about pretending, anything that you can imagine in the streets is real life situations. When someone not familiar with the streets pretends that they are you quickly get exposed by those who live it for real. Nuage~Soul and Producer Chase Ran It Up did just that with new single “Rap Cap”.

This single expose those who pretend to be who they are not, especially when they want to become rappers and talk about the things that was never seen or experienced. Nauge~Soul breaks down between the real and the fake. You can’t truly understand the life of a hustler unless you live like one. “Rap Cap Niggaz ain’t bout what they rap”.

Too many pretenders in a world of real life, and at some point, someone will get exposed. Listen to “Rap Cap” by Nuage~Soul now on all digital platforms

Jevin Lamar – Boss Alert

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

New single ‘Boss Alert’ from Atlanta-based Jevin Lamar is one of summers hottest bangers 

ATLANTA, GA – When listeners get caught in the rapid-fire flow of Jevin Lamar’s latest hit, “Boss Alert,” it’ll be impossible to escape from the ride of this upbeat banger. The aggressive rapping of this budding young artist gets in your face and invites listeners into a bouncy, upbeat vibe in ways that are undeniable. This is a single that’s sure to be one of 2020’s biggest summer hits, and it’s destined to put this fast-rising young artist on the map.  

The single was born from Jevin’s experience like the everyday hustle while working 2-3 jobs and chasing his dream at the same time. He found himself wanting to impress every time he interacted with a new person, and his daily selfpsych-up included a look in the mirror every morning saying to himself, “I feel like a boss today.” 

“Everybody can be a boss in their own way, and that’s what this song is about,” Jevin said. “When I pull up – no matter where it is – I want to feel like a boss. When it comes to my music, I really feel like I have a very distinctive voice and style. There’s a unique-ness to it. It’s a different type of vibe that I give off.” 

That unique vibe was developed in the studio by producer Tru.P, one of the producers for Rap icon Sticky FingazJevin happened to be in the studio one day when Sticky Fingaz was there, and the notorious rapper invited him into the booth with his producer to work on a song. What came out with “Boss Alert” is a song that Jevin said is very commercial and will be wide-reaching in the number of fans it creates.  

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Jevin has pursued music for most of his young life. He’s seen some budding success, as well, having been featured on Revolt TV and releasing singles that have seen more than 500,000 streams. He released a song called “Still Holing On” in homage to his cousin Thomas J. McNichols, which went on to be featured on ABC, CBS, Fox, and in an article with The New York Times.  

Over the past few years, he was in California working on his sound and developing new music with some of the best producers in the country. Eventually, he moved to Atlanta to further pursue his career. 

“My type of music got more of that Trap sound to it,” he said. “At the end of the day, I just want my music to be known for being good music. I’m a great poet and a great rapper, and I want to be known as a rapper who takes his time with metaphors and stories. I have an EP out called ‘Street Orphan’ that will show some of that off. It’s real Hip Hop with straight bars and straight storytelling. But I’m also a storyteller even in my Trap music. My new EP that’s coming out in September called ‘Gangdom’ is all underground Trap music. ‘Street Orphan’ was kind of my introduction and showing off my storytelling, but now the music I’m putting out is Club stuff and bangers and underground that people will love.”

B Raxcks – Swagg Walk

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Catchy single from fast-rising rapper B Raxcks has him showing off his ‘Swagg Walk’ 

ATLANTA, GA – Raxcks is a hot young artist who’s making a name for himself all along the East Coast, and he’s inviting a new wave of fans to check out his swag with a catchy new single called “Swagg Walk.” With a bouncy beat and a clever combination of Atlanta Trap and New York Brash, this single is gaining this fast-rising musician some major attention. Currently available across all streaming platforms, “Swagg Walk” is the kind of summer single that will spread like wildfire around the globe and is destined to make this young rapper a future superstar. 

Born Byron Patterson in Queens, New York, B Raxcks navigated the rougher parts of Little Jamaica and found himself in and out of trouble with the law before his father moved him to Charleston, South Carolina. He’d always been a fan of music, but it was during his teenage years in South Carolina that he began to really explore his sound and style. Eventually, a friend convinced him to record a song in a local studio, and when that song gained major attention throughout the area and got quite a bit of radio play, he knew music was a career he wanted to dive into. He moved to Atlanta shortly thereafter to tap into the city’s thriving music scene, network with more influential industry insiders, and further develop his sound. “Swagg Walk” is the fulfillment of all that hard work, and the success he’s seeing so quickly after its release is testament to his natural talent and dedication to hard work. 

“I grew up in New York, so my sound originates from there, but I ended up moving down south and that shaped me, as well,” he said. “I think what really sets me apart from anyone else in the game today is that influence of up North mixed with the Southern twang. You can hear that on ‘Swagg Walk.’ It’s a very, very catchy song. It’s a feel-good song, basically. It’s about when you step out – like going shopping or going to the club or wherever you’re going – and you’re basically saying, ‘Look at me. Check out my swag.’ It’s one of those songs that just came so quickly and naturally. I wrote it kind of quick. It only took me 15 minutes. I heard the beat and I just felt something, and since it’s come out, I’ve gotten a lot of good responses and it’s being played in a lot of places.” 

In addition to “Swagg Walk,” B Raxcks said he already released another single called “War” and the music video for it is now available for streamingAlso, B Raxcks will be featured in a mixtape hosted by So So Defs “Da Brat” which releases September 28.

YQ Dreams – Playmaker

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

YQ Dreams drops inspiring anthem ‘Playmaker’ just in time for NBA playoffs 

NEW JERSEY – Just in time for the NBA playoffs comes a hot new anthem from East Coast artist YQ Dreams. The song is called “Playmaker” and though its inspiration came from the greatest NBA players, it’s a song that can hype up playmakers from all sports and all walks of life.  

“Essentially, it’s a song about overcoming adversity and turning them into plays,” YQ said. “It’s upbeat and anthemic. I’m remembering my hardest days and showing people that now I’m up and I make all the plays. So it’s a story of a playmaker shining. It’s not necessarily basketball-driven though it was inspired by the LA Lakers and my desire to highlight their playmakers who are in the playoffs. I’m a huge LeBron fan and some of my goals are similar to his. But this song can be for anybody. If you’re a playmaker and you have a bad experience, you can turn it into something good and you’d be classified as a playmaker.” 

At 23-years-old, YQ Dreams is having the kind of success that seasoned stars wish for. He’s traveled nationwide in his young career, opening for acts such as PNB Rock and releasing big hits like “Did It,” featuring Hip Hop icon DaBaby. His full-length EP “Jersey” is also available now across all streaming platforms and has been gaining even more attention from industry insiders and fans alike.  

Part of the attention being headed on his fast-rising star is for his unique sound and style. Born to a Jamaican mother, YQ fuses his heritage with a blend of genres to create something truly original. He’s also very lyrical, creating music that is simultaneously hype music but also deeply introspective. His songs require people to really listen to the lyrics, and when they do, they’ll meet a vulnerable musician who lays his insecurities out to the world and doesn’t hide anything. 

If you respect authentic music and the true essence of art, then you’ll respect my work,” he said. “The most beautiful art is created during pain. At the end of the day, I hope my music is known for being authentic. I feel like in this industry there are a lot of things that are fake, or at least not necessarily genuine. When you listen to my music, you’ll know that I’m genuine. You as the listener are the same as me. I never make it seem like I’m better than anyone. You go through the same pain and trials and tribulations as me, and because of that, you can connect with me at that level and know I go through the same things as you.” 

YQ said he’s excited for people to hear “Playmaker” and hopes that it’ll gain the attention of some of the NBA stars currently playing in the playoffs.

Katt Leya – Do It

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

New music from Katt Leya shows off a powerful new voice to Hip Hop and Pop 

MIAMI, FL – Katt Leya wants the world to know that she’s more than just a cam model, and her new music is evidence of the many creative talents she has to offer the world.  

Born and raised in New York, this Latina artist who now hails from Miami has a unique sound and style that’s starting to make waves with industry insiders in the South. Embracing multiple genres and styles, Katt uses her natural talents as a singer to weave engaging lyrics alongside catchy melodies for ear-pleasing vibes that a new wave of fans will love.  

Her debut single, “Do It,” is a club song that’s been getting a lot of attention throughout Miami. Written as homage to other girls who work in the adult entertainment industry as cam girls, the song explores the constant battle those women face between trying to make money while also chasing down their own dreams.  

“It’s not just about me but about girls getting their money and doing what you have to do,” Katt said. “There are a lot of people on YouTube who are doing things for free, but as a cam girl, you can’t do it for free – you have to work for your money. That’s a sentiment that I believe anyone in the world can relate with, and I want other people to relate to it through their own experiences. It’s definitely Hip Hop but it has more of a hype-type vibe to it. I’m an urban girl, and that shows in my music, but this song is definitely an anthem for anyone who has ever had to work hard for their money.” 

One of the things Katt said she’s most proud of as a musician is her ability to be versatile. She enjoys all types of music and genres – from Frank Ocean to Coldplay to Rihanna. She particularly loves the model Rihanna has set for other women who have aspirations of being musicians, and she looks to the musical legend for inspiration to overcome things in her own life. 

As she’s explored her natural talents with music, Katt said she’s been encouraged to discover a bevy of abilities that lend themselves to great songs. She has a good voice and knows how to play with her voice to create different sounds and vibes. She also has an adept ability to fuse different genres and beats. And best of all, she’s really good with lyrics. She vows to fans that shallow lyrics will never pass across her lips and promises that only the highest quality music will end up being recorded and released to the world. 

“I want people to be like, ‘Wow! I can’t believe how good she is!’” Katt said. “I want people to realize I have a good voice and I make great music – that my lyrics have meaning. I’m not just a cam model or an Instagram girl. I want people to feel energized by my music. If you’re not having a good day or you’re not confident that day, listen to my music and it’ll help you feel confident and energized, happy and motivated. At the end of the day, when it comes to my music, I want people to be wowed.” 

Katt is currently hard at work on another single that she’s tentatively calling “Warrior,” which she said she plans to release sometime in the next month or two.
