Hip-Hop Artist Qwestion?! Releases New Hit Single “Like OJ”

LOS ANGELES, CA – Ultra talented hip-hop artist Qwestion?! is here to deliver
the answer through his creative lyrics and songs. Growing up in Chicago, the
artist encountered some tough times throughout his younger years, and looked to
music as an outlet. After discovering the amount of comfort he received from hip-
hop music, Qwestion?! knew his pursuit of a musical career was only destiny.

What started out as the artist recording bars on his phone later blossomed into
something much more substantial and serious. As an adolescent, Qwestion?!
learned how to play a variety of instruments, such as the bass guitar, violin and
saxophone, which he now incorporates into his musical production. This wide
variety of sound and fusion is on definitely display in his latest single “Like OJ”.
The artist is excited to share his newest work with the world, as he delivers a
message through his captivating lyrics.

The single has an uplifting tone behind it fused with a grimy flair, as Qwestion?!
puts his own signature spin on it. “There’s a lot of people who don’t want to see
me win,” said the artist. “I’m out here telling them that I’m going to win regardless.

Nothing can stop me at this point. So, that’s kind of where I’m coming from in the
approach I took with ‘Like OJ’.” It’s safe to say that this rings true, as the artist
has no plans to stop the music any time soon. In fact, he’s been steadily gearing
up to drop his new mixtape, “The Falling Up Theory”. Fans can expect a release
in the coming months.

Qwestion?! is truly a one of a kind artist, and puts a great deal of emphasis on
what he is currently vibing with in his life. He is inspired and influenced by hip-
hop’s golden age, in which he showcases within his current, new-age musical
aesthetic. “There’s definitely multiple aspects to my music when it comes to style.
I think my favorite aspect is how I groove with the beat. Flow is very important,”
said Qwestion?!. At this rate, it won’t come by surprise if the artist is nominated
for a Grammy one day.

“Like OJ” is available on all digital platforms, so make sure to give it a listen and

Irish hip-hop artist bares soul through witty wordplay with new album, ‘Worship No Idols’

IRELAND – Finding a genuine hip-hop artist in Ireland would be like stumbling upon one of the
rarest gems in the world. Tommy-G is that rare diamond. With a combination of groovy beats, old-school samples and witty wordplay, Tommy-G’s music is the kind of once-in- a-lifetime sound that hip-hop lovers are going to embrace all over the world.

This 20-year- old upcoming hip-hop artist from a small town between Dublin and Belfast has
been making music for five years and has just founded his own independent record label,
Finding Forever Music Group. After releasing a slew of songs on Soundcloud as part of his now
recognized “Winter Warm-Up Series,” he released his debut mixtape “Visions of Immortality” in
April 2016. The lead single from that project, “Wherever My Spirit Roams,” racked up more
than 15,000 views – quite a feat for a hip-hop artist from a country that has little to do with the
genre.

“There is no hip-hop scene in Ireland,” he said. “There’s a huge amount of talent, but no viable
support from higher ups in record labels. I feel like one of the things that set me apart is the
level of honesty I’m showing. No one is really telling stories like I’m telling. And that’s what I
love about hip-hop – you can tell your truth. I always felt like when I was listening to some of
my favorite artists, they were all talking to you about their truth. Hip-hop can encompass both
melody and lyrics in a way that communicates better than any other medium. It’s talking about
honesty and truth and baring your soul on a record for thousands of people to listen. I’ve
always admired other people’s ability to do that – to be naked with their thoughts. I realize
these thoughts that I have are like that, and I want to try to portray them in my music in the
same ways.”

His most recent attempt to do that is with the release of his first album, “Worship No Idols.” It
comes out on Feb. 16, and for three days after being made available for pre-order it was the
No. 1 album on iTunes … only to be knocked off by the release of Justin Timberlake’s new
album.

“Worship No Idols” features 12 tracks that embrace a sound that Tommy-G describes as
“soulful base that goes back to the core of hip-hop.” He worked closely with a producer known
as WHSPR, and turned to features from some other Irish artists for background vocals or
additions to songs. He also based all of the sampling on old soul records that he remembers
listening to as a child.

“Really, I wanted to bring it back to what made me fall in love with hip-hop in the first place,”
he said. “There are a few up-tempo songs, and a few that are more slowed-down with
storytelling. There outro features a spoken word piece from an amazing spoken word artist, and
the intro is really upbeat. And it’s a concise album – I’m telling you so much that I don’t want it to be over-encumbered. I want you to want to go back and listen to it again and again.”

Orange County Singer Brittany Espinoza Releases First Single “Let Me Go”

LOS ANGELES, CA – Singer/songwriter Brittany Espinoza is definitely on the
rise in the Orange County music scene. Ever since she first picked up the guitar
for the first time at age 13, she has yet to put it down. Her passion for music was
ignited at such a young age, and she continues to fervently pursue it in her daily
life. When hearing Espinoza’s music for the first time, you would never guess that
she used to experience a wave of nervousness when it came to sharing her
music. Now that she has discovered and polished her signature sound, the
singer is ready to share her music with the world.

Espinoza is excited to announce her first single “Let Me Go”, which showcases
her incredible vocal range and artistic ability. “It’s kind of been a journey in a way,
where I was kind of afraid to sing in front of other people and expose myself as an artist. So in releasing my first single, it’s kind of like me overcoming that fear,”
said the singer. With such a versatile, talented artist like Espinoza, it’s no
surprise that the feedback generating around “Let Me Go” has been
overwhelmingly positive.

When asked about the inspiration and story behind the single, Espinoza tells us
exclusively. “It’s basically an experience I went through. I’m basically detached
from the situation now. But it’s the story of two people who were friends, and I
was kind of in a grey area where it didn’t work out how I wanted. The person just
wanted to be friends, and not pursue a commitment,” said the artist. In navigating
her own life experiences, no matter the magnitude, Espinoza creatively
transforms them into a lyrical masterpiece.

This is only the beginning for Brittany Espinoza, as she spends a lot of time in the
studio working on her upcoming projects. The singer is not only hands-on when it
comes to the content, but as well as the production behind it. She’s pretty much
the jack-of- all-trades, if you ask us. Her plan is to release a new single every
other month, which fans should get really excited about. Day by day, Espinoza
makes her mark in the music industry, and can’t wait to share her new music with
the world. Who knows, you may find Espinoza on a stage near you in the near
future!

New single ‘Wiggle It’ from JF The Force is sure to be the nation’s next hot club song

LOS ANGELES, CA – There’s a reason LA-based rapper Jordan Fields is better known as The
Force. Anyone who hears his music feels the force of power and excellence that comes from his
sick beats, strong lyrics and powerful hooks.

His new single, “Wiggle It,” is a perfect example. He describes it as a more mature song for a
more mature audience, with themes circling around sex, love and having a good time. The
upbeat vibe and catchy hook make it the perfect club banger, but The Force said he hopes fans
will love it so much that they’ll want to play it whenever and wherever.

“I wrote it when I was feeling a certain kind of way about a girl,” The Force said. “It’s kind of an
‘in-the- moment’ type of song. More than anything it’s based off the vibe I got when I heard the
beat. It took about a week to write and it was a pretty hard record. The first time I did it, it
didn’t come out the way I wanted it to. It was one of those songs that I just had to leave along
and then come back to it, and when I did and re-recorded it, it came out really good. Overall it’s
just a fun song.”

The song was produced by The Force’s long-time friend, Bruce 24K, who he has collaborated
with on multiple songs over the past couple of years. The two were childhood friends who
attended church together before JF moved away. When JF got older and came out to Hollywood looking for a producer who was solid and consistent, he discovered that Bruce was a
producer.

“I found him on Instagram and heard some of his beats and fell in love with it,” JF said. “I love
working with him because he has a way of showcasing my diversity. This new single is just one
example of what I can bring. You’ll never hear the same sound on a single project that I put
out.”

A new music video for “Wiggle It” is slated to be released by the end of January. True to the
tone and theme of the song, the video will take place mostly in a club and feature The Force in
the midst of a hopping party. It was shot at The Reserve in Los Angeles.

The Force said “Wiggle It” is just one of a handful of new singles coming out in the coming
months. Next on his slate is a dance song that he’s hoping to finish by the end of the month.
He’s also working hard at continuing to advance the independent label of which he is a co-
owner. Love Records includes The Force, Pricey, Angel Frsh, Me and Tra Prince.

“We called it Love Records because all of us are about spreading love and positivity,” The Force
said. “We’re really trying to be different from everybody else, and by doing so we want to take
over this music industry with our vibes and our energy.”

Wibby White finds success internationally with new EP “Optimistic”

MIAMI, FL – If you’re looking for an artist who perfectly combines sounds from today, yesterday
and tomorrow, look no further than Wibby White.

The Miami, Florida native has been making music for a few years and is beginning to make a
name for himself internationally. His most recent EP, “Optimistic,” has garnered a lot of
attention and radio play across Europe – so much so that he has become an international
Phenom through organization, unsolicited airplay. With songs like “Black Disco Baby,” “Do You
Really Want to Hurt Me (remix),” “Move (feat. Ms. Jha Jha),” “I Just Wanna Be Your Everything
(feat. Flykidd Jr),” and “Optimistic (ext. Club mix) ft. DJ Bryan Reyes,” Wibby White is leaving an
indelible impression on listeners all over the world.

His most recent album, “Black Disco,” is also catching the attention of listeners all over the U.S.
And with a sound as unique as his, it makes sense that so many people would sit up and take
notice. Self-described as a unique blend of retro, disco, soul and pop – Wibby White’s style is
one-of- a-kind.

“I am not afraid of myself or my influences, as it relates to what’s on radio today,” he said. “I
am very eclectic, and I’m not afraid of what other people’s perception is of me. Correct or
incorrect, I know how to let them have their way.”

Though music is something Wibby White has always had a passion for, it was the business side
of the industry that first attracted him. He attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale College
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, studying the music video side of the industry. After college he
started his own production company, Pandemonium Productions Worldwide, and four years
later had released his first full-length album, “The Trendsetter.” Since then he has continued to
make his own music while also helping new and aspiring young artists find their own voice.
“Understanding business and being a businessman, I’ve come to the conclusion that no one
owns the music industry,” White said. “The music industry is you and me – the independent
artist, the manager, the producer, the songwriter, etc. If you know your business, get in where
you fit in. And that’s what I did.”

His success in 2017 made that year one of the best in his career. “Optimistic” is something that
he’s particularly proud of and he’s thrilled to see it gain so much attention internationally. The
project explores themes of pop and soul through the lens of an “upbeat, sophisticated night
life.” White describes the lyrics as positive and motivational, with subjects talk about pride,
individuality and freedom. In many ways he said his music today is an eclectic mix of his favorite
sounds, the work he’s done over the years and the many artists who have inspired him
throughout his life.

As White continues to ride the waves of success following the release of “Optimistic,” he’s also
hard at work on new music. He said he hopes to release a new single in the spring of 2018
called “Soo Alone.”

“It will be my first mid-temp R&B song,” he said. “The video will be epic and will be available on
my YouTube Channel, Wibby White YouTube. It will also be available at WibbyWhite.net.”

[Video] Kelz Kelz – Bleezy | @Kelzo520

ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos
 

Kelz’s personal life transformation shared through her music is inspiring millions nationwide

CLEVELAND, OH – No matter how many people say you can’t do something… do what you can
to be comfortable with yourself.

That’s the life motto of new Cleveland, Ohio artist Kelz. And it’s the theme behind her new
single “Bleezy,” which dropped on Dec. 11 on all digital distribution sites. It’s a song that she
said takes a close look into her personal life and opens up about her transition from a “really
girly girl” to being a “big tomboy.”

“The song and video stars with me looking very feminine in the beginning,” Kelz said. “But then
I go into the bathroom and dress as a tomboy. Both in the video and in the song I do it to be
comfortable in my own skin. And that’s what I want to represent with my music to other
people. Be yourself no matter what. Do what feels good to you. Since I’ve started making that
kind of music and releasing it, I’ve been surprised by the amount of people who have hit me up saying I inspire them. That’s crazy to me, but it’s a good feeling. The idea of being myself
making others want to be themselves is crazy.”

Though Kelz is enjoying some strong success now – including recently signing with
WattsyMusicEnt for representation – her journey hasn’t always been this enjoyable. Kelz comes
from a rough background on the streets of Cleveland. It’s a rough background that eventually
landed her in prison for three years. But once she got out she pursued a path that would turn
her dark past into a bright future. She said she picked up music as a hobby after discovering
early on in life that she had a knack for poetry and wordplay. When she got out of prison, she
needed something positive to focus on in order to stay out of trouble. Her hobby with music
soon became her passion, and ever since then she’s been slowly building a fanbase of others
who also love her music and her perspective.

In just two years of making music, she has already gained the attention of millions of listeners.
Her single “Bodak Yellow Remix” went viral with 2 million views on Facebook in 2017. With zero
family support, she managed to take over the entire Ohio Valley in the matter of a year –
winning a total of four OVHH Awards, including: Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, Best
EP/Album and Best Duo. She has also had the opportunity to open up for Corey Gunz, DJ Unk,
Waka Flaka, Montana Of 300, Lil Reese and at the Yemipalooza Music Festival. And on top of all
that, she has also modeled for independent clothing companies such as Killigraphy and
Redemption.

“People really love her and gravitate toward her because they can really relate,” said Slick
Watts, former Underground Music Award Winner. “Her fans are die-hard fans and we plan to
take it to the next level in 2018 and she’s about to take it to the next level. She has a strong
following, and now it’s about getting her as much exposure as possible. Once the masses get a
chance to hear Kelz and see the work that she puts in, the sky will be the limit.”

[New Music] Sicnarf – Pushaman (Prod. By Lil Rich) | @sicnarf_soul

Blog, Music, Promo

New East Coast artist Sicnarf molds sounds of Cameroon and stories of redemption into debut album, “SAVIOR”

BOSTON, MA – There is no sugar coating when it comes to Sicnarf’s music. A self-proclaimed
“beacon of truth,” this hip-hop artist from Boston, Massachusetts is one of the best new
storytellers of the genre and is taking the East Coast by storm with new music.

His debut album is “SAVIOR,” a 14-track project that explores the contradictions of life – from
politics to religion to culture and even individual personality traits. The album is slated to drop
on all digital distribution sites on Christmas Day, 2017. That date was chosen intentionally, and
he hopes the irony won’t be lost on anyone that he’s releasing an album called “SAVIOR” on
Christmas Day.

“Most of the album is one running theme,” he said. “It’s thoughts about my relationships with
religion and an allusion to everyone’s idea of a savior. It’s about believing in yourself as your
own savior, which is contradictory to how we think about the role of God. And it’s also about
the tension between good and bad. In hip-hop right now there’s a lot of push for negative
content. I’m trying to move away from that, but still represent reality and stay true to myself.

I’m not at all perfect. In this album I talk about all the detrimental things I did in my past, but
also talk about positive aspects of life and love.”

Sicnarf said the overall tone of the album is melancholy with an undertone of hope. Some songs
are positive and mellow, while others are grungy and tough. Some songs explore humanity’s
ongoing search for an outside force to act as a savior in their lives, while others are about self-
realization and finding strength within.

“A lot of my songs are very political and talk about all the stuff going on right now in today’s
society,” he said. “With this album, that’s the message I’m trying to get out there. Whether it’s
music or drawing or painting, we all have different facets of ourselves that make us great and
give us the capability to be our own saviors. This album is kind of representing that.”

Originally from Cameroon, Sicnarf moved to the U.S. in his teens. He didn’t start exploring rap
and spoken word until his early 20s. It began as an outlet for his thoughts and emotions.
Eventually in college he formed a spoken word organization and slowly transitioned into music
after graduation. Some friends who were also interested in music came together with him to
form a studio. Although it’s been a few years since he and his friends have worked together on
music, he has used that time to find his unique voice and niche within the industry. This debut
album is his attempt to define himself as an artist not only to the people who have been
following him for the long-term, but also to a wider audience.

His roots and upbringing are reflected in his music. His drum and bass-heavy sound selection
pairs perfectly with a an approach that is best described as “lyrical,” with a cadence that
sporadically ebbs and flows from melancholic inflection to agile. He’s already been hailed as
one of the best storytellers in his city, and is notorious for his freestyle, recorded content and
visual art.

“The way he plays a lot with inflection in his voice ties in really well with the way he’s able to
tell a story,” said Feven Abadi, Sicnarf’s manager. “That also adds to the theatrics of his cadence
when he raps. It’s really very unique.”

Though Sicnarf has been releasing elements of “SAVIOR” via social media in the month leading
up to Christmas, the full album will deliver the full creative brilliance. He’ll follow this with a
music video of his first single, “Bonafide,” on Jan. 5.

[New Music] Kabir – Reptile | @RealLiLsasuke

Music, Promo

New artist Kabir sends shock waves through industry with heavy new sound 

QUEENS, NY – For most of his youth, Brian Kabir was a street baller in New York City. He loved
basketball, and would play for 12 hours a day – sometimes in the snow during harsh winters –
just for the fun of it. It was his dream to play professionally, and he worked hard to perfect his
craft. Not only was it a fun outlet, but it was also an escape from harsh realities.
But when Kabir was rejected from the St. John’s University team, he found himself having to do
some major soul searching. He came to the realization that he wanted to channel the passion
he once had for basketball into a developing music career.

“It really came from just looking for new ways to express myself,” he said. “When I started
rapping in 2014, I was looking to create songs that sounded like Future. But that wasn’t the real
me, and more than anything I wanted to show who I was. So I stopped trying to make club
songs and went more for what I wanted. I didn’t write anything, I just had the producer put on
a dark beat and went for that lane and that nature.”

Today, Kabir is one of the hottest new artists out of the Northeast, fusing sounds of Atlanta trap
with emo rock and even Japanese anime influences. The hard edge combines with a witty
lyricism and in-your- face delivery that is making him into a one-of- a-kind artist. His new EP,
“Please Don’t Slit Your Wrist,” is music that is hard-core and counter culture, utilizing
controversial storytelling with introspective lyrics that are definitely edgy and have a dark
theme. The first single off the project, for instance – an up-tempo song called “Reptile” – will
definitely give listeners a gut-punch of energy.

“When you hear the song you’re going to be like, ‘This kid is crazy in the head,’” Kabir said. “It’s
a similar topic to the ‘Reptile’ song from Trent Reznor. It’s a relationship kind of song that is
super dark. There’s a little bit of a story, but it’s mostly me talking about cheating. What comes
out organically is shocking. That’s ultimately what I’m going for with my music. There are fewer
artists in this niche genre, and within that genre I don’t sound like anybody else. I have my own
branch. That’s something I would consider to be my trademark.”

Kabir said he hopes his music will connect with people who feel pain and can use his records to
get through their issues. He knows that music has helped him to salvage his emotions and find
expressions for his pain, and many times it was music that shocked him out of negative
thinking. His goal is to create music that does the same thing for others.

“I’m a shock-value driven, counter-culture artist,” he said. “I’m the guy who’s going to take
things too far sometimes with my content. People will realize that my music is heavy with its
topics. But they’ll stick in your head with good sound.”
