Highway Tone is electric with his new releases

SEATTLE, WA – Growing up around music, Highway Tone has been heavily influenced by the Rap scene for much of his life. He creates music that is authentic to his own experience and the world around him. Some of his newest projects include the recent release of his album, Product of My Environment and his new single “Yeah Yeah”. While these two showcase different sides of this artist, they are equally as incredible of a show of his skill.

Highway Tone’s music emphasizes the importance of what is real. “I rap about real life situations, things I’ve been through or seen, or things that the people around me have experienced. You can ask anyone around me, they’ll tell you that I’m real.” This intense honesty allows for him to create music that is relatable and lets his audience connect to him on a deeper and more personal level.

Product of My Environment is a perfect example of the way that Highway Tone’s music gives a deeper look into who he is as a person. This album focuses not only on the specific experiences he has had, but also the overall theme of being loyal to yourself and the things that you need to survive. Some of the most prominent songs on this album include the song “Miss You” where Highway Tone pays tribute to those that have been lost to violence, “Nervous” where he explores friendships and the role of trust while in the streets, and “Loyalty” which focuses on the role of a woman in a relationship. All of these things are personal to him, but easily relatable to so many of his listeners.

While many of the songs on Product of My Environment have a heavier concept, Highway Tone’s new single “Yeah Yeah” has a much more upbeat and club-ready feel to it. “When I started writing this song, I was thinking about all of my friends and brothers who had become statistics of the streets, but my partner told me that I needed to switch it up. I had someone else work on the chorus and it came with this super catchy hook and I just ran from there.” This song centers on all of the ways that Highway Tone is enjoying his life, being able to focus on the good things, something we all need to do sometimes.

Though he has just released so many amazing tracks, Highway tone is already on the move again with another upcoming album called Highway Signs & Yellow Lines. This album will be focusing on who he is as a person and where he’s come from. It is an incredibly important project to him and sure to be just as impressive as these recent releases. He is able to do all of this with the help and support of his family, especially his mother, cousins and brother.

Aaron Beri – Run Away

ME Blog, Music, Videos

International model Aaron Beri displays rich musicality with new single ‘Run Away’ 

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – A lot of people around the world would likely recognize Aaron Beri, though they might not know how. The Australian native has been a professional model since the age of 16, with features in magazines and advertisements across multiple media outlets. But what most people probably don’t realize is that he’s also a passionate musician with a body of work that is equal parts inspiring and evocative.  

Pairing a classic R&B sound with modern-day influences, Beri brings a unique sound and style to the table. His latest single, “Run Away,” is a perfect example of that unique originality. The smooth R&B groove incorporates pop vocals to create an entrancing slow jam with passion. Born from his experiences of navigating the music industry and the hard lessons he’s learned along the way, the song explores the fierce independence that comes from being burned and deciding to take one’s destiny into their own hands. 

“I had some experiences where labels wanted me to sign a deal for basically nothing,” Beri said. “So I run away and play a different game. That idea translates to different situations in life. Do whatever you put your mind to and don’t let anyone else dictate how you’ll achieve success.” 

Beri said 2020 and the pandemic that caused so many to be quarantined presented a unique opportunity for him to spend a lot of time honing in on his unique sound and style. He said he was able to really fine-tune that contemporary R&B sound in ways that no one else in the industry is attempting today, and as such he’s hopeful to carve out a niche within the crowded marketplace and run with it.  

“We take a lot of inspiration from 80s music and the early 90s,” Beri said. “From R&B singers like Brian McKnight or Baby Face or Toni Braxton, or even musicians like Kenny G. I’ve worked hard to find that pocket to put the sound into. Ultimately I want a longevity with my music. I want to create music that 20 years from now people can put on and it still feels fresh. There’s so much disposable music out there today – a song can be released and just a couple of months later sound so dated. I don’t want to add to that noise. I want to hone in on my brand and find that pocket and generate timelessness.” 

Beri said he’ll continue to offer that high-caliber music with an album called “Paris to Vegas” before the end of the year. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Ty Baby – Soul Splitter

ME Blog, Music, Videos

Pennsylvania rapper Ty Baby looks to inspire, influence with music 

WILKES BARRE, Penn. — Up and coming Pennsylvania rapper Ty Baby is relatively new to music but he’s looking to show his progression with his mixtape “Voice of My Circle,” and a number of single coming out in the next few weeks. 

At age 21, Ty Baby got his start when a friend wrote him a song for his 17th birthday called “Flex.” He and his friends recorded the song and it can be seen on Youtube.  

Ty Baby said his goal is to make “relatable, influential music.” 

I want to touch people in that dark spot,” Ty said. “I just want to let people know that people have been in any situation you’ve been in and it can get better, you’ve got to keep pushing, never give up. Follow your dreams and things will get better. That’s what I want to give to people. Relatable music, soul-touching music, chill-giving music, that’s what I want to give.” 

His latest work is a mixtape called “Voice of My Circle,” released on all platforms with nine tracks with names such as “Empty Hearts,” “All In,” and “Soul Splitter.” 

“That album, I’m basically making music for my circle and if you like it, you do, if you don’t you don’t,” Ty said. “That’s what that mixtape was for. It’s like the voice of my circle, I’m speaking for my family, my team, my people, I’m letting you know what I stand for.” 

His favorite song on the tape is “All In.” 

“I was really speaking about my life,” Ty said. “It was like pain, I was really feeling it. To this day, that song really put me in a different state of mind. I can’t even really explain it.” 

Another song on the take, “Wild, Wild West,” was just a fun song that came to him. 

“There’s not even really a story behind it, I just made it,” Ty said. “It was fun. It was a fun vibe and I needed a couple more songs for the project so I sent it to a couple close friends and relatives to see if they liked it, because I didn’t really like it. They said they loved it, I didn’t get one person who said they didn’t like it, so I put it on the project.” 

Ty Baby said fans should look for a series of new songs to come out in the next few weeks. He said he’s trying to grow his fan base and introduce more people to his sound. 

“I’ve got a fan base now but I know I can get it bigger,” he said. “I just have a lot of singles and my singles I’ve got right now, they’re different than the songs I have on the mixtape or anything I’ve got out right now.  

“It’s better, you can see the development, the way I attack everything. I’m definitely working on my craft to separate myself from the others. I’m working to get better.”

B.Macy – Bucketlist

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

Former boxer-turned-rapper checks another box on the Bucketlist of life with release of new EP 

BANGKOK, THAILAND – While many hip-hop artists claim their music was shaped by a difficult upbringing, few rappers bring as much experience and authenticity to their craft than Brian Macy. A professional boxer and Iraq veteran, hip-hop has been a constant companion. Now living as a single father with his son in Bangkok, Thailand, he is using his experiences to create his own brand of hip-hop from the heart. And that heart is put on full display with his latest EP “Bucketlist.” 

Across six songs, this boxer-turned-rapper shares his dreams with the world and explores the ways in which we all strive to accomplish the things we aspire to before we die. His easy-going manner and East Coast accent evokes thoughts of Rocky, and his shy demeanor comes through both in person and through his music. You can’t help but like the guy, and you’re sure to love his music, as well. 

Macy was introduced to rap music during a childhood spent in boxing gyms in some of the roughest neighborhoods on the East Coast. A non-violent person by nature, hip-hop gave him the courage he needed to succeed in the ring, and gave him an outlet to freely express his emotions. He began spending all of his time outside the gym working on producing beats and writing lyrics. His life was put on pause when he enlisted in the Army, but music was never far from his mind. When he came home from Iraq, he rededicated himself to using his music to put his feelings into words and provide for his newborn son. Since readapting to civilian life and taking a job as a teacher, hip-hop has been an outlet for Macy to make a positive impact on the world. His style is hard-hitting but uplifting, sure to appeal to fans of classic 90s sounds. Macy is committed to using rap as a force for good, and there’s no telling how far his music will take him. 

“With this EP I’m talking about my experience as a soldier, a father, and a fighter,” he said. “I self-produce my own beats. I have a unique style that’s more of an East Coast Boom-Bap type thing, but it definitely has a Brooklyn influence. I’m a humble guy. I’m a single father. And I’m just a guy whose putting out music and doing his thing. Just a guy giving it a shot. Like the name of the EP says, I want to do stuff before I die. I’m ready to knock it out.”

Chlo – Get It

Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Chlo offers upbeat, feel-good vibes on new EP ‘Make it Make Sense’ 

HOUSTON, TX – If there’s one word that describes Chloe Hargrove, it’s “entertainer.”  

The fast-rising young artist originally from Kansas City, Missouri has been lighting up the Deep South for the past couple of years – creating a buzz with her unique sound and style – and now she’s ready to  drop her second EP “Make it Make Sense.” And if there’s one thing fans of her music can agree on, it’s that she is the ultimate entertainer.  

“My gift is being able to entertain people,” said the artist who goes by the stage name Chlo. “I love making people laugh or bringing good music or anything entertainment-wise. I’m just entertaining … period. I’m fun to be around and just make people feel good, and that shows in my music.” 

Her six-song project showcases that entertaining talent to full effect. Following two years after her first successful EP, “Make it Make Sense” showcases a variety of vibes against lyrics that explore self-motivation and the drive and ambition necessary to realize one’s dreams. In Chlo’s case, this pursuit of a successful music career is something she had to convince herself to invest in. Having worked in the corporate world for a few years, she longed to pursue music full-time, but it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that she decided to put her all into that endeavor and commit to the time and financial investment it would take to realize that dream. 

“That’s what the title of this EP means – to do stuff with a purpose,” she said. “You have to know your purpose. I know I’m talented, and music is my passion and what I’m gifted with. I’m making it make sense and putting my best foot forward. I’m putting my all into every song and showing how versatile I can be. Every song is different, but every song is me.” 

Chlo said who she is will shine bright through every song she creates, and at the end of the day she wants to be known for being 100 percent real with everything she does. She prides herself in making fun and catchy music, but she’s also quick to point out that she has bars and uses different flows across her various songs. Her biggest inspirations are Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake, and she credits them for motivating her to really focus on making good music that is also going to make people say, “Dang! This girl can write!” While some artists today adopt a persona or caricature, Chlo said every lyric and performance will be true to who she is – “goofy and crazy and funny.” 

“I can be a bad bitch when I need to, but at the end of the day I’m goofy and I like to put a smile on people’s faces,” she said. “People will see that real personality and love me for that.” 

The debut single from her new project is a song called “Gang With Me.” The upbeat vibe is a perfect pairing for lyrics that hype up the group of friends and family with whom she surrounds herself. The video even includes many of her friends and family – both from Houston and from her original hometown of Kansas City. She said it’s a song that’s all about “repping your people,” and as such should be relatable to a wide global audience.  

Chlo said she’s excited for new audiences to discover her music, and that she plans on releasing even more music over the course of the next few months.
