Montana Staxxx – Freedom

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Montana Staxxx inspires others to break free of the mundane with new single ‘Freedom’ 

DENVER, CO – Lemonte Hall – AKA Montana Staxxx – is a veteran of the music industry whose penchant for telling it like it is has challenged listeners all over the world for many years. His style of music is soulful yet aggressive, with lyrics to his songs tackling some of the tougher issues of the world. That substantive music takes center stage with his latest single, “Freedom. 

Bouncing off a get-up-and-move kind of vibe, this soulful single features horns and other instruments to serve as a background for lyrics that challenge people to consider the things they value most in life. Montana said he wants the song to inspire people to let go of the more material things in life and instead turn to the long-lasting truly joyful moments and experiences that lead to a fulfilling life. 

“It’s about telling people not to allow things like money and religion to track or hold you down,” Montana said. “That’s what those things do in the big scheme of things, but it’s not how you’re gonna get freedom. The only thing that can set you free is the truth, whatever that is for each person. Don’t allow these things to be stumbling blocks in your life to achieve real freedom. Don’t take things for granted. So many things in our world are conveniences that we take for granted – like being able to go to McDonalds whenever we want, or looking up whatever we want on Google on a smart phone that we carry around. But that’s not freedom, especially if we come to over-rely on those things.” 

The single not only challenges people with a deeper meaning, but also showcases Montana’s one-of-a-kind voice. It’s the kind of voice that is immediately recognizable when people hear it, and it’s something that has set him apart in a crowded industry for many years.  

Montana first started his journey into music as a child when his mother was a singer and recording artist. Most of his youth was spent either with his mom in the recording studio, or back stage at many of her touring shows. His grandmother also played the piano at church, and he grew up singing in the church choir and learning how to play the piano from her.  Montana was born in El Paso ,Texas and raised in both Texas and California. As a teenager, Montana learned how to produce music and studied some of the best rappers of history. He began to develop his own unique sound and style, and in 2008, he started doing shows professionally and recording his music.  

“What has set me apart more than anything over the years is the topics I talk about,” he said. “I tackle things that a lot of people don’t really discuss because it might be a little touchy for them. But I believe the topics that are hard for people to discuss are the very things that are important for us to talk about. That’s why I always try to have substance in my music, if I can. I hope my music is known for me giving the best effort I can and for always trying to be honest when I could.”

Check’a Fred – Got Damn!

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Check’a Fred caps of career-defining year with hit album ‘Check Mate! 

LYNWOOD, IL – Multifaceted Illinois artist Fredrick Wilson III, AKA Check’a Fred, is a rapper, songwriter, producer and businessman whose unique sound and style have drawn attention from fans all over the U.S. for many years. His latest album, “Check Mate!,” is the kind of career-defining project that is sure to set him up to become a global player within Hip Hop. Featuring a “whole bunch of turn up songs,” the album showcases Check’a Fred’s aggressive lyricism and ability to fuse different genres from R&B to Hip Hop and everything in between.  

The first single from the project is a song called “Got Damn!.” The fast-paced track displays Check’a Fred’s ability to create great bars while also showing off his one-of-a-kind flow. It’s a fun club banger that he said people will definitely want to hear when they’re at a party.  

He’s following that up with a second single from the project called “Who Wants a Smoke?” Still upbeat but with a slower pace than “Got Damn!, this track gets more introspective as it explores his aggressive side and his defensive nature when someone is trying to come at him.  

The album isn’t all in-your-face upbeat jams. There are also tracks for the ladies such as “Itty Bitty!,” which Check’a Fred said is a fun club twerking song for all the women of the world.  

“When you listen to this album you’ll see a whole other side of me being realistic,” Check’a Fred said. “There are songs with real life issues in there like mental health. People will see a rapper and see the hype – and there are plenty of those songs on this album – but there’s a whole other side to me as an artist that you’ll find as well. I want to put all my emotions and everything I feel in the moment into the music. I’m trying to use familiar instrumentals and beats and pair them with some great stories.” 

Music has always been a passion for Check’a Fred. His father was a pastor and musician and his aunt is the notorious Gospel singer Anita Wilson. He learned how to play the piano and drums, and by his teenage years, he was already writing his own songs and creating his own beats. In 2017, he dropped his first mixtape and has been honing his craft ever since. This year has been a great year for him as an artist. In February, he started his first entertainment company, Rawthenic Entertainment, and he has taken some major steps forward in his music career. He released the single “I.D.G.A.F.” in the summer of 2020 which attracted quite a bit of attention from industry insiders. And now with his album “Check Mate!,” Check’a Fred is set to propel himself onto the global stage. 

“I want my music to be known as something people can go to and hear and get away,” he said. “When I listen to music, I want to get away from the real world. It creates a vibe in my mind. I like to know what that person is going through, and if it relates to me, I want to know how they got through it and understand that and put it into my own situation. That’s what I hope my music does for others. I hope people can look at me as an example of a person who does what he wants to do and just keeps going, knowing that everything will fall in place.”

Cartel The Great – Big Shit

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Cartel The Great displays excellence with style on new album ‘I Suppose to Been Here’ 

CHICAGO, IL – Greatness is something that Cartel has always strived for. Whether in life or business or music or any other endeavor, greatness is the ultimate goal. That excellence comes to the forefront on his latest album, “Cartel The Great: I Suppose To Been Here” which is currently available across all streaming platforms.  

“Coming from the streets, I’m a talented rapper, but I went to prison (for nine years) and this album is to show people I was supposed to be there,” Cartel said. “It has a variety of sounds and styles coming at you in different ways. The whole thing was to show you have regular people you don’t even know about who can make industry-level music.” 

Cartel is an artist who has experienced a lot of hardships over his life. At age 21 he was incarcerated for six armed robberies and was sentenced to 18 years but was eventually released after only nine years in prison. Going through the pain of the streets and losing his mom while he was in jail, Cartel decided to come home and take music seriously. He’s always been a talented artist who honed his skills as a young man battle rapping with his father.  

“I’m a diverse artist with lyrical skills who can go any direction,” he said. “I use my experience in the streets to illustrate my bars. I’m a perceptive rapper. I know how to make it practical. I made a grand perspective practical. I talk of the relevancy of the streets but also give some conscious-minded stuff and talk about the consequences for your actions. And with all that, I have a strong delivery when I rap. I’m also versatile with my flow, so in a lot of ways, it’s hard to put me in a box.” 

That is perhaps best demonstrated with his debut single “Big Shit.” Much as the title would suggest, the song flaunts Cartel’s greatness as he talks about his experiences on the streets paired against a Pop-Infused beat. It’s a song that Cartel said pushes listeners to “not just talk on little-people terms but talk on big-people terms.” The song features King Louie who is a well-known artist from Chicago. The feel-good, party record is universal in its relatability to a wide audience, while also serving as an anthem for all the overlooked artists of the streets. 

“More than anything, I want to show my artistic freedom,” Cartel said. “I also want to challenge people’s perceptions. I think outside the box and find creative ways of expressing my message, and I want to show others that they’re capable of that, too. You can come up out of the streets and the struggle and the trenches, and creatively use your talent to come up.”

Nealy – Hot Pot of Chilly

ME Blog, Music, Promo

Justin Nealy cooks up a hot pot of chili with new single, just in time for winter 

RALEIGH, NC – If you’re like most other music lovers in the world, when you see a song titled “Hot Pot of Chilly,” there’s something inside you that must hear what it sounds like. Next thing you know you’re listening to it and the fun new single from East Coast artist Nealy has you hooked. It’s catchy with a great Rap vibe, with lyrics that pull you in and invite you to just have a good time. Like the hook says, Nealy is coming through hot like chili in the pot, chillin on a hot new stove. 

“It has some real stuff in it, but it’s just a good-time song,” Nealy said of his new single. “It’s different than anything out there but mostly, it’s just a fun song.” 

A video for the single is also available on Nealy’s YouTube channel. It was shot at a restaurant in Durham, North Carolina in which Nealy used to work as a bartender. The video features multiple shots of Nealy in the kitchen, cooking up a hot pot of chili while also showcasing a part of his hometown. 

Nealy began his journey as an artist at age 18. He said he was inspired by his friends, who were also talented rappers. They encouraged him to write his own songs and after a while, he realized he had enough natural talent to pursue music as a career. As he developed his sound, he studied multiple genres of music and never really settled on one specific artist as a muse of major influence. It’s the music itself that motivates him, and that electric taste has helped him create a signature style that is equal parts original and familiar.  

“A lot of times, I don’t even know who sings a song when I hear it. I just know I like it,” Nealy said. “I always look to the actual music and not who’s popular. Music influences me more than the actual artist, and that’s what I try to create with my own sound, as well. I have some funny stuff, but not corny – more subtle humor. I also have things that are deep and people can relate to. Since I started, I’ve matured as an artist and everything I’m doing now is more of intentionality. My music is consistent. Some of the beats I’m working with today are different, but I’m still the same person writing. But a lot of people don’t realize I went through a lot to get here. I’ve been pushing myself and I’ve sacrificed a lot of things to get to where I am. I took a leap over a river instead of building a bridge because I wanted to go for it all. It’s starting to come back and pay off, and I’m excited for people to hear the new music I have now.” 

Nealy’s music is available across all streaming platforms. His next release will be a single called “317965” which is slated to drop in January.
