Who Is CGE? ( @CGE312)

Music

With the rap game being dominated primarily by solo artists, we could very well be looking at the games next big group, Meet CGE, a rap duo based about 25 miles outside of Chicago.

JustTheOtherDay(Robert Smith Jr) & Dolo Blues(Markee Prude-Williams, ages 21 and 19 (CGE)

Think two man group, like  Rae Sremmurd, with the room presence of the Migos, but much more melodic like PNB Rock and A Boogie.  Imagine catchy, with dope cadences and flow like Roddy Rich, mixed with a passion for fashion like ASAP Rocky and slick thotiana girl talk like Blueface, yet still managing to stay in their own pocket. This would be a respectable way to describe CGE.

“CGE” stands for “Chase Guap Everyday”  which they describe as “more than a name”, it’s a way of life.   “We left school and cut off a lot of people to follow our dream” spoke Dolo Blues. “Man we putting everything we got into this’, he continued. We betting on ourselves. Just tired of struggling and want to make a way, and why not with music”.

The group takes pride in their work ethic and “no days off” approach.

JTOD says; “Everyday we putting in crazy work. We are very competitive and we try to out-work everybody.  When they partying , we working. We always working to get better and grow our brand”.

Although both artists were raised in a suburb just outside of Chicago,  circumstances growing up was anything but “suburban”.  Coming from low income, blue collar working families, the two found themselves turning to sports and music as a temporary escape.

The two actually met in 2011 playing youth football and have been friends since, even before the music.  The music became serious in 2017 and they’ve been on a mission since then.

After experiencing some local success and building a small fan base, the group began to brand themselves to broaden the awareness.

People are starting to hear about this dope new group from the Windy City.  The sound, swag and word-of-mouth is drawing in new fans on a daily basis.

When you grow up in the hood, you’re exposed to different experiences that will force you to learn how to survive. Those experiences are situations where you’re put through unfavorable circumstances.

Hoodstar Red knows this all too well coming out of Savannah Georgia. The streets are not your friend and it also teaches you that sometimes your friends are not your friends in the world of a hustler. That being said Hoodstar Red linked up with Scottsdale GA artist Joe Green for new single “Street Life”.

The song talks about the struggle and what comes with it, jealousy, envy, deception, enemies, hustle and death. Hoodstar Red and Joe Green also touch on their priorities and lessons they’ve learned.

[Single] TK Royale ‘Never Been Kissed’

Music

19-year old rapper/singer TK Royale was born Thunder Katsumi Prince in Brooklyn, NY. After losing her parents in a tragic car accident at the age of 3, Thunder was raised by the Japanese grandmother she was named after, who would eventually pass away from stomach cancer in the Spring of 2018.

Reeling from her loss, Thunder was invited to relocate to Los Angeles to live with her older cousin Toia, an aspiring songwriter and co-founder of indie record label ERN Media. It was this musically inclined relative who encouraged Thunder to use music as an outlet to productively channel her rage and grief. Poring through hundreds of hours of 90’s and 2000-era Hip-Hop and R&B, this diverse palette served to help TK craft a style that, despite only having a year of experience under her belt, has already drawn comparisons to heavyweights such as Lauryn Hill, Rapsody, Rah Digga and Black Thought.

Also known as “Thunderkat”, TK’s music reveals an artistic and intellectual maturity far beyond her years, combining thought-provoking lyrics with the occasional “ratchetness” one would expect from someone who isn’t even old enough to drink yet.

Anthony Chapman – KoKo Butter Brown

Industry Spotlight, Music, Videos

Hip Hop artist Anthony Chapman inspires music listeners with new album “The Brow-N Album”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Anthony Chapman, a Hip Hop artist from Compton, California, wants to inspire creativity while enlightening the world and people around him. Anthony achieves this and more with his new album, “The Brow-N Album.” Conscious storytelling about his life and the lives of others is expertly integrated into his music.

“The Brow-N Album” underscores the outlook of black people, what they go through, and how others see this from the outside looking in. The album features a mix of every type of Rap and each song has a purpose and a message behind it. “It’s not just dance music, it’s not just conscious music, it’s not just music for women,” Anthony said. “It’s a message that is being sent.”

Anthony uses his craft to inspire listeners with tracks such as “Relationship Goals.” Vividly telling the story of an addictive and damaging relationship from the perspective of both the man and the woman, Anthony portrays how they are so wrapped up in the negativity; they cannot figure a way out. He is able to paint a picture of real life relationships that touches on the listener’s emotions. Anthony encourages people by letting them know that they are not the only ones who have been in that situation. He said “You have to understand that it is an addiction, and it needs to stop.”

Anthony also talks about his strong views on the afterlife in the track, “Soulgregation” which are emphasized by the hook – “I pray my soul got black skin.” When he gets to heaven, Anthony wants to still be identified as a black man. He also wants to see Martin Luther King Jr., Tupac, Nipsey Hussle, Harriet Tubman and Marcus Garvey with the essence of who they were, even after death. “I want to see these people as they were on earth,” said Anthony, “and not as some spirit where you can’t recognize who they are.”

Released on February 1st at the start of Black History month, the 9 track collection was recorded in Anthony’s self-built home studio. The 32 year old, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in Audio Production, has invested thousands over the years in his studio to ensure a clean, professional sound. Anthony also co-owns his production company, Monster Mix, LLC. The production company’s other co-owner, singer and R&B artist B Jay Hill, is featured on three tracks on the album.

Steven Chapman (known by his stage name, Anthony Chapman) is the oldest of four children. His mother suffered from drug addiction and the family was split up while living in Compton. Because Anthony has a different father than the younger children, he found himself in foster care, moving from place to place. It was a hard upbringing and he felt like an outsider. While going through the separation from his mother and siblings, Anthony first started writing music. He said “I turned to music as an outlet to get out these emotions because I never really felt that I had anyone to talk to.”

Anthony grew up listening to old school Hip Hop artists like Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill before getting turned on to west coast rappers such as Tupac and N.W.A. The high point in his music journey was discovering Eminem. “That was like the pinnacle of music for me because of the pain that he expressed in his music. I felt like he knew what I was going through,” Anthony said.

Right now, Anthony is busy in the studio, doing shows, and getting ready for a trip to a New York DJ convention. He has big plans for the future including a series of music videos interlinked to create a movie for the tracks on the new album. He is truly an artist with a clear vision, a fresh perspective and some dope beats behind his message.
