Teezy Presidential elevates summer vibes with bouncy new groove ‘Vacay’ 

FAIRFIELD, AL – Teezy Presidential is an on-the-rise Fairfield, Alabama artist whose latest hit single “Vacay” has been lighting up the clubs and airwaves this summer. The playful flow offers listeners a fun, bouncy groove that makes you smile when you hear it. Offering listeners a get-away from the hardships of life and a break from the monotony of daily routines, “Vacay” is the ultimate summer single, and a great introduction to this young artist from the South.  

Teezy has only been in the game for a little bit, but he’s already carving out quite a niche for himself within hip-hop and music at large. He’s already had the opportunity to work with notorious artists such as Project Pat and New York’s Maino, and with his latest hit single “Vacay” he’s looking to make his mark on the industry.  

“I try to be different with my flow,” said this rapper from the South, whose accent is one of his most defining features on almost any track he creates. “I try to match my exact mood to the vibe of the song. My music is very diverse. I try not to push myself into any one category, I just make songs based upon what I’m going through in life situations. With this song I was dreaming about being somewhere else because at the time I had some issues that were going on and I had to handle business and there was just a lot of stuff up against me at the moment. I needed a getaway – a space to clear my mind. I think a lot of people need that right now in this post-pandemic period. This song offers you that all in one package. It has soul and emotion and it’s just a lot of fun” 

Teezy said soul and emotion are two things that will always come to the forefront in his music. It’s something he’s worked hard to capture since he was a young boy first exploring songwriting and music-making. He’s been dabbling with music off-and-on for about 12 years, but it wasn’t until recently that he picked it up full-time and pursued it as a full-blown career as a recording artist. He said he knows he has what it takes to make a splash in the industry because he has a different viewpoint and a strong work ethic.  

“Presidential is a reference to the status that I hold myself to with my music,” he said. “Everything has to be at a certain level. The energy that I’m coming with is all about the status of being elevated. At the end of the day I want to better relate to people through my music. No matter how far I get in the industry, I always want to stay to a point where I can connect to people who are listening to my music.”  

Teezy said he’s already in the process of developing another track, which he hopes to release before the summer is over. He’s also working on a video for “Vacay,” which should drop soon.

Belee Kaur – I Believe

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

Former Tennis Pro Belee Kaur turns to Dance Pop with Massive Hit Single ‘I Believe’ 

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA – It’s not unusual for professional athletes to use music as motivation, though it’s not every day that you hear about a former tennis pro turning to Dance Pop as an artistic outlet. That’s the case for Canadian-Indian singer/songwriter Belee Kaur, however. While traveling the world as a professional tennis player, music was always her best friend. She recalls crucial moments in her tennis matches when she would sing her favorite songs in her mind to calm herself down. Eventually she realized that music was her true passion, and after a lifetime of training and touring, she hung up her tennis racket in favor of the microphone and partnered with RATHMUZIK and BENTLEY RECORDS, NEW YORK to begin her musical journey. It has proven to be a great move, because with only two releases to date she has already topped 2 million views on YouTube, and her star is only climbing. 

Her latest single is the hit summer track “I Believe.” Stuck right in the middle of the Dance Pop lane, this upbeat jam is sure to be played in the clubs for many years to come. If you listen to this song and don’t move your body then you must be dead. It’s an upbeat, pumping groove that is perfect for a night out with friends. People all over the world will be getting sweaty as they jump and bounce to the music that Belee Kaur has created.  

“I wrote this song as a response to the self-motivation I felt when going through a lot of difficulties,” she said. “If you really want something, you don’t need someone to back you or encourage you. Just tell yourself that if you want it, you can do it. I accepted my feelings and said this is what I wanted to do. Making a song about that emotion just felt so good, and when we gave it that little bit of an EDM touch it just came out perfect.” 

“I Believe” is actually the second hit from this fast-rising young artist. Her previous track “Saturday Night” – a cover of the hit from Whigfield – has already surpassed 300k+ views on YouTube. The follow-up single is well on its way to catching that total, having already amassed nearly 1.5 million views in just a couple of weeks in its release. That doesn’t even include the rising number of plays across all the other streaming platforms upon which the single has been placed. And Belee said she has even more music planned to drop later this year, including a feature on an upcoming track with world famous Sean Paul, and many more renowned collaborations. 

“Always trust God and his plans for you,” Belee said. “Your outlook should be no looking back. I have always wanted to make music that is lively and makes people happy and want to dance. There are too many reasons to be sad nowadays, but music can bring happiness and inspiration to your life. Even if I only inspire one other person, I think I did my job. So, I hope people will use my music to convince themselves not to give up. If we can support each other, we can achieve all that we want to.”

Jay Soundz – This Is It

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

Jay Soundz offers South-style bump with new single ‘This Is It’ 

CHICAGO, IL – It’s not unusual for Chicago-based rapper Jay Soundz to be asked by fans who creates the beats for his songs. His percussive, Southern-style bump music is infectious and fun, and people want to know who he collaborated with to create that catchy sound. So it should come as no surprise that one of his favorite things to do is smile proudly and announce that the beats are all his – as is everything else about his music. From editing to songwriting to special effects, and everything in between, Jay Soundz is a one-man professional artist with skills that put him right up there at the top with other stellar artists in the game. 

“When people ask me, ‘Where’d you get this beat from?’ I love to tell them, ‘I made it!’” Jay said. “It all comes from me. More than anything that’s what I want people to know about my music is that everything is mine. I can produce my own beats. I can mix and master. I can write and record. Unless there’s a producer tag on a song that indicates I got it from someone else, the majority of what I create is mine. I like collaborating with others, but I have all the skills necessary to make a quality body of work on my own.” 

That journey as a musician started as a young boy who watched nearly everyone in his family embrace music in one way or another. His parents were both singers, and most of his cousins were artists and music professionals in one way or another. Jay started writing lyrics in sixth grade, and by high school he was producing and learning audio engineering. He eventually went to college to continue his education as an audio engineer, and after graduating he hasn’t looked back. Today he continues to explore new sounds and create new music that is equal parts entertaining and introspective.  

A sample of his work can be found on the album “Come Alive,” which is currently available on Soundcloud. It features 10 tracks, half of which are his own productions. The stand-out single from the album is “This Is It,” a track that he said is just a lot of fun. Like most of the music he creates, it has a nice beat with a catchy hook that says, “This is it. This that Feeling. This that vie. This that shit. This that feeling ya’ll be waiting for for years.” It’s a song that incorporates his blend of Down South style and Chicago-based vibes. You can instantly hear influences from some of his favorite rappers, such as Ludacriss, Kanye West, and Young Jeezy.  

“My beats might have a little bit of that Drill bassline, but my songs and sound won’t have that Drill vibe,” Jay said. “It’s just that I use a lot of percussion and drums. They have that South-style bump. I got a lot of stuff that bumps.” 

Jay said he’s working on completing a music video for “This Is It,” which should drop sometime later this summer. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Kendall Day – Fallback

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

 R&B artist Kendall Day drops bouncy new groove ‘Fallback’ to kick off the summer 

ATLANTA, GA – A lot of professional musicians can recall the moment in their lives when they found music, but for Kendall Day it was the other way around. 

“Music found me,” said the singer and Atlanta resident whose new single “Fallback” has been making waves since its recent release across all streaming platforms. “When I got into music, I didn’t know exactly what to do. I was an athlete. I played baseball, basketball and football. I was always in music as well. I couldn’t shake it. I’m pretty diligent and I work hard at everything I do, and when I finally committed to music I started taking it to a whole new level. And once I got to that level, I just stayed persistent, I didn’t stop.” 

Today, the R&B star who originally hailed from Detroit is making a strong case as the next artist to bring R&B back to the city of Detroit – a city best known for its many rap stars. With roughly 10 years invested in his career, Day is now a member of the Songbook Entertainment brand and has been working closely with Grammy award winning executive producer Troy Taylor. His new summer banger “Fallback” – produced by super producers Inigo Sane and Troy Taylor – has been creating buzz in plenty of circles and is currently making its way from Atlanta to Detroit and all across the U.S. 

“I like it because it has that bounce I like. It has that Bay Area vibe to it” Day said. “I like my music with some bounce. We’re in a dance era. I Love it.  – everyone is dancing right now – and I wanted that one record that everyone could dance to. It’s a song about falling back from a toxic situation with a girl that you know isn’t healthy for you but you have to learn to let go. Just as certain things come up in life to try to test you, and you gotta stay focused. There are some things you gotta fall back from. Old ways. Bad habits. Sometimes you even fall back and then get back on and then fall back again. Ultimately, though, improvement is a journey, you gotta stay steadfast and focus on your goals.” Fallback is that. Getting back to your best self.  

Day said his ability to adapt to new sounds and styles throughout his career has been one of the main things to set him apart from others in the industry. He also presents a very youthful vibe, even though he has an old soul that is apparent through his lyricism. His influences range from artists such as Chris Brown, Drake and Young Thug to Brandy, Anita Baker and John Mayer. He said even more than that, however, he’s influenced “by all the creativity happening around the world. It’s everywhere right now.” At the end of the day he said he wants his music to be recognized for having substance and for having a positive influence. 

“I want my music to touch people in a way that gets them through whatever situation,” he said. “I don’t really make non-substantial songs. Most of my songs are talking about something. I hope people take a little bit of something every time they hear it, or every time they feel it.” 

i

A video for “Fallback” is slated to drop later this summer, and Day said he may also release a remix of the song. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Lavelle Williams – Amazing

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

Upbeat Pop jam from Lavelle Williams offers fans an ‘Amazing’ experience 

SACRAMENTO, CA – A fun new Dance Pop groove that’s sure to make you bop and sway to the beat has arrived from West Coast artist Lavelle Williams. “Amazing” is a simple but fun jam that’s all about the feelings that come when you’ve found that special someone. It’s upbeat, with hints of R&B influences throughout. The simple acoustic guitar intro leads to some driving drums that let loose for the Pop-heavy vocals from Lavelle. It’s a song with a mid-tempo bounce that makes you want to bop your head, and it’s paired with a nice sway that builds over the course of the song. It’s the perfect song to enjoy at the clubs, or to just play in the background with chilling with friends at a party. 

Williams said “Amazing” is a great example of his unique sound and style in that it displays his mastery of many genres. He considers his sound to be a mixture of everything, and cites a wide range of influences that include Drake, Justin Bieber, John Legend, and Big Sean. He also has studied some of the legends in rap, and considers Tupac one of the best lyricists of all time. 

“I hope my music is known for bringing new things to the table,” he said. “I want to bring a new sound that incorporates a variety of different genres. And mostly I want to make something that makes people happy and makes them want to dance.” 

Music is something that’s been a mainstay in Williams’ life from the time he was born. His grandfather is the legendary Lenny Williams from Tower of Power, and for as long as he can remember he’s been singing and rapping alongside other members of his family. More than that, however, he said music has been a great escape for him through the years and has helped him cope with some of the harder experiences of his life.  

“It helps me cope with and get my feelings out there,” he said. “I’m very grateful for the family and friends who have supported me and helped me along the way, and I’m so glad that I’ve had music in my life to push me along.” 

Williams said “Amazing” is the first track off a forthcoming EP that he’s working toward completing later this year.

[Video] @BallGameLJ ‘Send Yo Location’

Videos

BallGameLJ is an up-and-coming hip hop artist born LJ Jackson in Tallahassee, FL on October 24th, 1994 to his parents and a big sister; 12 years his senior. LJ’s parents split up when he was still quite young. As a result, LJ spent a lot of time without an active father in his life.

With no active role models LJ’s grades quickly took a hit and like many he took to the streets and hit the pavement running. He quickly learned how to hustle and ball hard; earning him his stage name BallGameLJ.

LJ has been around music his whole. Didn’t matter if he was home, school or in between music was always surrounding him. Music was apart of all aspects of LJ’s life; the celebrations, the difficult times, moments of creativity, moments to heal the trauma and everything in between.

With influences spanning decades and multiple genres; from that old school R&B to idols like Tupac and JayZ you quickly realize that while LJ is a true 90’s baby he really does have an old soul and it can easily be heard in his tracks.

BallGameLJ released his first project in March of 2019 and has been in the studio non stop since; having accumulated quite the vault of music soon to be released.
