<b><span data-contrast=”auto”>Player vibe takes center stage with smooth new album from Georgia artist Boss Man</span></b><span data-ccp-props=”{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>EFFINGHAM COUNTY, GA – Boss Man is a new artist from Effingham County, Georgia whose sound is like no other you’ve heard before. He’s bringing a new look and style to the music business, and his diverse and unique taste showcases an artist that can be a laid-back player who transforms into an aggressive hip-hop rapper. That signature style takes center stage on his new EP “Players Club,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. </span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>Not your typical R&amp;B groove, “Players Club” is more of a swaggy offering for the ladies that comes hard and aggressive on some songs, but is more smooth and R&amp;B-driven in ways that are perfect for the clubs. The standout single is a track called “Pop It,” featuring fellow Southern artist Wellput Will. It’s a song that Boss Man said is perfect for getting girls on the dance floor and giving them something encouraging to feel good about themselves.</span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>“It’s all about poppin that booty,” Boss Man said. “It’s about turning up in the club and feeling good. Will was one of the first artists I met when I came to Atlanta, and he’s been teaching me a few things about performing and making things upbeat. I took his info and rolled with it, and I told him when I made my first EP I was gonna put him on it. He did the feature in life five minutes and it was perfect. I’m really proud of this song because it helps women to feel good about themselves all while having a good time.”</span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>Even though he’s from a small town like Effingham County, Boss Man has proven that he can compete with the biggest of the biggest. He’s opened for legends like Juvenile, and when he did so he had the building on fire! He’s been making big moves since his debut mixtape “Sleeping Giant,” and now the giant has awoken and ready to show the whole world what he’s capable of. And it’s not just music that showcases that originality. He also has a Boss Man clothing line that is making its way around the world and starting to gain traction and popularity. </span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>“Everything I do is about uplifting others, including my clothing brand,” he said. “I don’t want to push negativity. I can get through some of the gristle when I rap about my life, but I’m not making murder music or trap music – at least not in the traditional sense. I’m making music to make you feel good about yourself. I’ve got my own flow, my own way, and my own style, and everything I do is about encouraging you to be the boss of your own style, too.”</span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

Wanderlust and hope take center stage on new Americana album from Madeline Rose 

SANTA CRUZ, CA – The last year has been a desperate one for many people around the world. Desperate for a relief from the pandemic. Desperate for a return to social normality. Desperate for something hopeful to look forward to. And now that things are starting to look brighter, musicians like Madeline Rose have the perfect soundtrack for that celebration. 

Rose has released a new album that celebrates the journey through which many have traveled over the past year. It’s an album called “The Long Road,” and after only a few weeks of availability on streaming platforms it’s already receiving high praise from industry insiders. Featuring her singer/songwriter, Americana “Country Rock” vibe, the album showcases 10 songs that chronicle journeys through difficulty while also celebrating the hope that often comes on the other side of trials and tribulations. 

“Music always helps people with their problems,” Rose said. “It gives you somewhere to go. We’re gonna get out of this pandemic, or out of our problems, in general, and I hope my music can be that escape for people.” 

The debut single from the project is a song that shares its name with the album, “The Long Road.” It’s a song about the need to go somewhere and the wanderlust that often comes when stuck in an unwelcome situation. It’s also a song about believing in something bigger and being part of a greater purpose in life.  

“It’s one of those songs that’s perfect for a road trip, or for motivating you if you have somewhere to go,” Rose said. “I wrote the song a few years ago but I believe it’s more prevalent today because we’re all in the middle of the pandemic and we don’t know how long we’re going to be in this. A lot of the songs on the album are about traveling and helping people to believe in something. And when it comes to my voice, I have more of a relaxed, reassuring voice that plays well with this kind of a project.” 

Rose has also become known for having a cool, smooth rock kind of sound that features acoustic and electric guitars influenced by some of the best-known Classic Rock bands in history – artists like Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Joe Ely, and John Hiatt, to name a few. She’s even met many of her music heroes – from Elton John and Rod Stewart to Rascal Flatts and Lyle Lovett.  

Rose began playing music when she was 6, and for as long as she can remember her main goal has been to make a living doing what she loves and help people by creating beautiful music. But being a musician is more than what she does – it’s who she is and who she wants to be. Music is Rose’s life, and she’s excited to take more fans along for the ride.

Flow and bounce pair with R&B and Hip-hop fusion on hot new single ‘2 Years’ 

UNION CITY, NJ – Imagine if Michael Jackson had found his way into a grittier, more hip-hop driven world. His smooth, melodic vibes and rich R&B sound melding in the midst of that bouncy hip-hop feel would have been something impressive. That’s the sound that East Coast artist 18sinz has discovered, and it’s the kind of stand-out sound that is impressing fans and industry insiders alike.  

His latest single “2 Years” puts that sound on full display. The slow, low-key intro of the song is merely a tease before giving way to a fast ride of freaky flow from this fast-rising young artist. With a voice in the higher tenor register, 18sinz whips words with masterful ease. With this single he’s created an up-temp, fun, bouncy ride from the moment he hits the beat to the very end. And he’s created lyrics born from real experiences of love and loss in relationships. Most of his music revolves around relationships, and with “2 Years” he paints a picture of a love that has turned sour over time. 

“It’s a song that was inspired by me and my ex-girlfriend and how even after we’d been dating for so long I was still wondering if I could trust her,” 18sinz said. “At the end of the day, when all these things are going down, can I still trust her in the crunch. Ultimately, I left my heart to the wrong female, and I’m gonna make sure that never happens again. It’s really a song that’s uplifting, and I think it shows how my music is very different. I’m talking about real situations and scenarios that I paint with my lyrics. It makes people feel good about themselves. It sounds good and feels good – you can dance and groove to it and also relate to it.” 

18sinz said he started making music when he was a freshman in high school. He was inspired by an older brother, who would often take him to the studio with him and encouraged him to get on the mic one day. He created a song called “Small World” that gained some traction and had his classmates playing it all the time. That inspired him to keep creating more and more singles, and over time his popularity as an artist continued to rise. In 2019 he released a mixed tape  called “BirkenBoy” that really took off and put him on the national stage as an artist to be reckoned with. He started traveling up to New York and meeting with industry insiders and A&Rs. And he hasn’t looked back since. 

In addition to “2 Years,” 18sinz said he’s got another single ready to drop this summer called “Way That You Move,” with even more music planned for later this year.

International vibes capture surreal-like state of life on hot new track ‘Movie’ 

NEWARK, NJ – Sometimes the things that happen in life can feel so surreal that it’s like you’re living in the middle of a movie. That’s the concept behind the hot new single from East Coast artist Nate Dingo. “Movie” is a laid-back R&B and Hip-hop fusion with an international edge that’s got such a catchy groove that it’s already lighting up the East Coast after only a couple of weeks of release. Featuring fellow East Coast artists Kmwurld and YDZ, the song uses an Afro-beat foundation and some amazing flows to capture that feeling of celebration through a very mainstream type of song. 

“My whole like I have been traumatized, and when I was reflecting on the things I’ve gone through in life sometimes it just feels so surreal that it’s like a movie,” Nate Dingo said. “I’m a very versatile type of artist who can rap and sing and do Afro-beats or hip-hop or R&B – just a lot of different types of artistry that I think can push into the mainstream. I’m able to attract different audiences in America and worldwide. This song is a good example of that.” 

The song definitely has an international flare that is sure to attract audiences from all over the world. Much of that style comes from his Ghanaian heritage. He was born in The Bronx to Ghanaian parents who eventually moved to Newark, New Jersey, where he was raised. He discovered music at an early age, though it wasn’t until he was a junior in college that he decided to start taking it seriously. At the time he was studying to become an electronic engineer, but a friend who goes by the stage name KenzyGuap encouraged him to pursue music, and he hasn’t looked back since.  

“I knew I had the gift, but I didn’t think I would pursue it as a career,” he said. “At the time my girlfriend broke my heart – she cheated on me and I was in pain. I didn’t know how to get through it, and something told me to just start doing music – to express myself and let this thing go. I wrote a song called ‘Feelings’ and met up with KenzyGuap and when we made the song it blew up. When I saw the numbers and had his encouragement, I decided I wanted to take it seriously.” 

Now he’s focused on becoming one of the hottest new international, mainstream artists out there. Though he’s already become known for being a master of Afro Beats and Hip-hop, he doesn’t want to limit himself to those sounds. In fact, he plans to showcase more of his versatility with a new song called “Down Bad” coming out in the next couple of months, with more singles set to drop this fall.

Daz Breezy taps into deep emotions with relatable new singles ‘Alone’ and ‘You Are Always On My Mind’ 

CHARLESTON, WV – It’s impossible to miss Daz Breezy. Known for his flashy “Breezy Bonnets,” dance moves and colorful style, this East Coast artist definitely stands out in a crowd. His music is also the kind of unique vibe that stands out amidst an over-crowded music industry, and his latest two singles “Alone” and “You Are Always On My Mind” are creating quite a buzz all up-and-down the East Coast.  

The two singles almost play off one another, though they have different messages at their core. With “Alone,” Daz is lamenting to his lover his feelings of loss and loneliness through a variety of relationship issues. Whereas with “You Are Always On My Mind,” Daz makes pleading reassurances to his love to realize just how much she means to him. In both cases, Daz said he was inspired to write the songs when sitting next to his partner and considering how much she meant to him. 

“With ‘Alone’ I was going through some stuff in my relationship and I just started coming up with the chorus when I was sitting beside her,” Daz said. “In the moment I felt like we were always sitting beside each other but never having a really good conversation. That’s where the line ‘Conversation know it’s getting flat’ came from. From there I came up with the line ‘Girl, I can’t leave you alone,’ and everything else in the song is like I’m just talking to her and finally having that real conversation.” 

Daz said the song touches on deeper intricacies of relationships in ways that a lot of people around the world will be able to relate with. He said his own unique experience coincided with other major life upheavals, including the loss of his grandfather and the abrupt ending of his relationship with his brother, who just “ran off on me.” To cope during this time he would often go out at night and escape from life, though every time he’d come home at night he’d bring his woman flowers or other small gifts. 

“But it was never enough,” he said. “She was going against me and throwing me down more than building me up. She kept saying I was never thinking about her, which is where the song ‘You Are Always On My Mind’ came from. I’m talking to the woman in my life and telling her that she doesn’t always gotta trip because she’s always on my mind. I adore her. It’s more of a love song than ‘Alone,’ but it touches on a lot of the emotion that comes from that kind of a relationship.” 

Daz said he plans to follow these two singles with another song called “Hustle” later this summer. He also has a handful more singles planned to drop in coming months.

Apex Hadez reaches new heights with bouncy new single ‘Breesh’ 

BROCKTON, MA – On the surface it may seem that Apex Hadez is an amazing rapper known for his use of universal beats and witty lyrics, but a glimpse into his life will show you how many levels there really are the created the build-up to his music rebirth. 

The Brockton-rooted artist (an urban city south of Boston that served as the origin of Rocky Marciano, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and Thomas Edison’s first display of electrical equipment), often talks about being an onion with many different layers to his personality and artistic endeavors. And those layers are revealed through his music. Take his latest single “Breesh,” for instance. It’s an up-tempo bounce that feels classic and nostalgic, with an impressive feature from East Coast artist YT Olé. The smooth, high-class production offers a bouncy flow that makes you want to bop your head, with a fusion of new-era sounds laid against traditional 808s. It’s a side of Apex that fans have seen in the past, though with slightly different vibes as he showcases some of the nuances of the layers that lie deep inside him. 

“There are so many layers to me,” he said. “I can keep it very business or very street, based on the situation. I have the same face, but I’m wearing so many different hats. I bring a lot of different angles. Even with this single you get more than one angle. I’m talking about getting money and grinding, but that could be on the street side or the corporate side. It’s a celebration of getting that money and I’m working both angles. If you’re going through it, you understand.” 

Apex – which stands for All Profits EXpected – is the first member of his Haitian family to be born in America. Growing up in Massachusettes, he was inspired by early hip-hop artists such as Mobb Deep, Nas, Jadakiss, Andre 3000 and more. He knew music was something he wanted to pursue, so he made a makeshift studio in his closet. Fueled by a determination to cultivate his own lane in hip-hop, he began crafting a signature style that he has honed and perfected over the years.  

While life forced music to take a bit of a backseat as he got older, artists like Drake and Nipsey Hussle pushed him to circle back and refocus on his passion. Today, Apex writes through the emotions of losing his father and his childhood friend and fellow producer Statch, as well as battling the dark moments in his life. This year he’s made it his mission to share as much of his life with his fans as possible, and is releasing a new track every Monday at 12 p.m. ET.  

“It’s basically like you’re getting a 52-song album this year,” he said. “I take everything I learn from the street life and bring it to the corporate side, and vice versa. I’m trying to build and get to the top of the peak. Every time someone says my name it’s a reminder of that quality and authenticity and energy that I bring to the game.” 

Apex said listeners can follow his weekly new music releases by following the hashtag #GoodMoneyMondays.

Authenticity and raw reality take center stage on new music from Lor Smoke 

BALTIMORE, MD – Lor Smoke is a rapper who prides himself on his versatility. He can make any type of music, and his catalog of songs shows that. Take his latest single “Magic City / First Day In The A” for example. It’s a song that not only shows what kind of rapper he is, but also his ability to ride any beat and create grooves that people from all walks of life can enjoy. 

Inspired by his first visit to Atlanta, the song literally gives listeners a breakdown of his first day in the city. From the time he wakes up to the time he drops back into bed after a long day, he explains everything he did on that first day in Atlanta. The accompanying music video was also shot in Atlanta on the first day he was there, with the idea of capturing everything raw and real and in-the-moment. 

“That’s what you get from me as an artist,” Lor Smoke said. “I’m not making up stories or fabricating anything. I’m just giving you my life. I’m writing stuff as I’m doing it. That’s just the type of rapper I am. I’m a reality rapper. Everything you get – from my persona to my lyrics – is just realness.” 

Lor Smoke said he’s always been into music, though he didn’t start taking it seriously as a professional recording artist until 2018. He was building up a nice career for himself until in 2019 he was shot because of street violence and he ended up taking a year off. But he came back to music in 2020 and is using his music today to inspire people while also sharing stories from the streets.  

“I’m giving you the struggle and telling you what my life is like,” he said. “Every hood in the world is the same – you see the same things and go through the same trials and tribulations. People from those places will be able to relate. But on top of that I have versatility. My catalog will show you I make a lot of different types of music. I can do reality rap, gangsta rap, Trap, Reggaeton … any type of beat you put in front of me, I’m gonna kill it.” 

That authenticity and realness is what Lor Smoke said he hopes people will recognize about his music, no matter who they are or where they come from. He wants people to know that what he’s saying is true and real-life. There’s no faking with him, which he said is powerful in today’s entertainment industry that’s often built around fake and fabricated ideas. 

Lor Smoke said he plans to follow up “Magic City” with a new single called “300 Addys,” which should drop before the end of the summer.

Lil Dodge gets raw and real with relatable new track ‘Substance’ 

LONG ISLAND, NY – Michael Dodge has always battled a lot of emotional distress and anxiety. Known among friends and within the music industry as Lil Dodge, this hedge-fund-manager by day is a bona-fide recording artist by night whose unique brand of music has been making waves around the world in recent months. Audiences of his music can hear the pain and desperation as he sings and raps across tracks that range from Rock and Hip-hop to Soul and R&B, with tinges of Pop and electronic thrown in. It’s as if listeners are getting an inside peek at his scarred soul, and anyone who has gone through some kind of trial or tribulation will be able to immediately relate with his music. 

His latest single, “Substance,” is a perfect example. It’s a song that’s hard to label, and almost is its own sub-genre of Rock, Rap and Soul. It’s a song that perfectly captures the emotional distress from which Lil Dodge creates his art. Opening with a soundbite from an emergency situation trying to save someone’s life, the song slowly and smoothly makes its way into a swaying groove that perfectly features Lil Dodge’s gravelly tenor vocals. Pain and desperation are forefront in both his lyrics and his vocal performance, and immediately audiences are brought into a world of deep emotions. 

“I’m a guy who is constantly stuck in my head,” Lil Dodge said. “I’m always arguing with myself and beating myself up for bad decisions I make, even though I know I shouldn’t. So this is a song about over-thinking, which I think a lot of people can relate to. I’m not the kind of artist who’s talking about popping bottles and f*ing girls and making money. I’m being real with you. No one can relate to that other stuff because no one really lives that way. A lot of people can relate to emotional distress, though.” 

Lil Dodge said fans of Juice Wrld and Little Skies will likely enjoy his music, as those two notorious artists are creating similar “emotional distress” songs in the midst of today’s over-saturated commercial songs. Like them, Lil Dodge said he wants his music to be known for being raw and honest and relatable. He knows that’s what will attract the most listeners, but more than that he knows that the escape he finds through music is something with which many other people around find, as well.  

“It’s my release,” he said. “I can go in the booth and turn the lights off and just figure things out. Sometimes I can do it in one take, but more often there’s a lot of space in between the lines for me to gather myself and follow-up with some genuine, authentic lyrics.” 

Lil Dodge said he has about 30 songs ready to be released with features from various well-known artists. He also plans to drop a five-track EP in July called “I’m Alright.” “Substance” is currently available across all streaming platforms.
