Introducing New Pop Artist MAXX

Industry Spotlight

The diminutive singer-songwriter Maxx is a pop artist originally from Ocean Township, New Jersey. She began singing, performing, and writing at a young age, but never viewed it as her career because she was pursuing horseback riding; she loves horses. During her childhood, she encountered traumatic experiences which affected her mental health. After suffering from depression and anxiety, in 2017, Maxx began to write about her feelings and experiences. That’s when her music became her therapy. Music saved her life, and it kept her prevailing through challenging times. Once she found her love for music, she knew she had to pursue it for the rest of her life.

As Maxx grew older, she began analyzing successful female artists’ careers and inspiration, mainly in the pop spaces. She identified with artists like Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse, Billie Eilish, and Ariana Grande. When she finally moved to Los Angeles, she sought to find unique ways to create a fresh sound and brand that would be groundbreaking and compelling while allowing her favorite singers and other artists to serve as inspiration.

Maxx’s growing fanbase reflects her seemingly untapped talent. Her passion-filled drive is what is behind her desire to share her voice and perform for new crowds. Maxx has already released five singles, “Thank You For That,” “Old School,” Breaking Out,” “Lover Boy,” and “No Good At Love.” Her unique style, sound, and authenticity have helped her carve her lane as an artist. When she’s not practicing her music, ever the introvert, Maxx also loves to spend time with her horses and enjoys being around nature.

Maxx is currently working on new music to share with her fans and planning to release her debut album early next year. She genuinely enjoys engaging with her fans and establishing a deeper connection with them. She hopes to reach as many people as possible through her story and music. She has developed a unique sound and creates moments to remember in her videos and while performing. Maxx hopes the stories she tells in her music will help others feel less lonely and encourage them to find strength through their passions…as she has.

Meet John Holcombe of The After Set on WRFG 89.3 FM in Lil 5 Points

Interviews

Thanks for sharing your story with us John. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
A guy by the name of Victor Walker had a radio show on WRFG 89.3 FM called Ridin Durty Radio that came on Thursday night from 3 am to 6 am. I was working at the airport and had Wednesdays and Thursdays off. So, one day, I went up there to support him. I saw he was playing music from Underground/Independent artists that I heard in the clubs that the other radio stations weren’t playing. After the show, I told him how can I be a part of the show whether it was promoting the show, finding music, booking guests, anything I could do to bring value to the show. A year later, I met a woman named Christiana Davis aka ‘Bosslady’ and we became really good friends. She was given an opportunity to start an internet radio station called Atlanta Hott Radio. At that time, the internet radio was just popping off. So, I was doing Atlanta Hott Radio and sitting in at Ridin Durty. Whatever I was learning from Vic I was applying to our show. Later, I would get my own show called The Prezidente Suite Radio Show which I started from my dining room. I would buy mixtapes, albums that came out on Tuesdays, music from the record pools and any independent artists that sounded good. From the Internet Radio station, Bosslady and I started a showcase BattleHottlanta where we would give away a thousand dollars. After 12 showcases we stopped, but I continued to do Ridin Durty with Vic until he retired. WRFG had a broadcasting class to be a program engineer. It was close to Father’s Day, so my kids surprised me by paying for the class. Took the class and graduated. I met a guy by the name of Horace Hawkins aka DJ Powerlord through Vic and the broadcasting class. DJ Powerlord had a show idea and that is how the After Set show came about. I also started a production company Prezidente Suite Productions which I produce along with DJ T-Did-That a show called Down In The Dirty Mixshow where we are preserving the roots of Southern Hip Hop while playing independent artists.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
My wife passed away in 2011. I fell into a deep depression. I was a single dad with three kids working and doing radio. I felt like quitting, but I couldn’t let my kids down. With help from my in-laws, I was able to work and do the radio for the last ten years.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into The After Set on WRFG 89.3 FM story. Tell us more about it.
The show is called The After Set Hosted By DJ Powerlord, Big Al, and me J.Prez. We are only showing on Atlanta FM radio that plays Bass Music, Funk, Soul, R&B and Gives Independent Artists a shot at airplay through our monthly Pump It or Dump It segment. All you have to do is have your song CLEAN song (RADIO EDIT)

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Ain’t no luck. Just believe you can do it and put a plan together and following it through.

We really loved the well-known hit song “Headstrong” by Trapt and wanted to adapt it more to my style of music, without changing too much! So we decided to slow it down a notch and slightly change the tone, but while still keeping that rocker vibe and intensity throughout the whole song! We really hope you will enjoy our cover of “Headstrong”!

Weems Street Rapper MONDUHGOAT Setting the Vibe With His Hard-Hitting Single “Wealthy”

Videos

November 8th, 2021, set the pace for MONDUHGOAT after releasing his hard-hitting single titled “Wealthy.” Mixed and mastered by the gifted producer RAN, the track features an earth-shuttering beat that will get you vibing to the ingenuity of the rapper. With almost every single released by MONDUHGOAT being a hit song in the making, the prodigy set out on this track to record something that will turn up your mood and vibe when chilling at home, with your peers, or even at the club with your pals. Wealthy was a follow-up to MONDUHGOAT’s five-track G.O.A.T. EP 2 that was released in 2020 as he set the stage in the lucrative rap business.

Written with utmost creativity by MONDUHGOAT himself and distributed through Weems Street Entertainment (WSE) music label, Wealthy comes off with its unique style and vibes wrapped around the well-crafted bars by the rapper. Hardly do Hip-Hop artists come off as favorites when they rap about realism and notoriety; however, MONDUHGOAT broke the rules. “I ain’t stopping my grind.” The southern artist made reassuring statements that came off as the slogan to his career and set him apart for his style and lyrics. This track is a vivid sign of his promising career as he launches into utterly new sounds recorded every single day.

MONDUHGOAT was born and raised in Mississippi. His journey to becoming one of the greatest rappers set off back in 2018. Since then, he has written songs that stem from the heart and are always fun to listen to. His track “Wealthy” is one of those songs that will set your vibe for the day as you nod to the fantastic beats. Check out Wealthy on the WSE website, Spotify and YouTube today.

It’s no secret that Las Vegas has become the Entertainment Capitol of the world. Home of some of the biggest festivals in the world, EDC, Life Is Beautiful, Day N Vegas, IHeart, & others.

iKon Presents recently announced their own home-grown festival names Strong Music Festival. The 1 day event will feature 12 artists including Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, Tory Lanez, Lil Tecca, Las Vegas’s Very Own Dizzy Wright & others.

With shows like the festival & Lil Durk coming up, as well as Rod Wave, Bryson Tiller, Blxst, and others recently, it’s great to see Hip Hop finally has a home in one of the countries fastest growing cities.

Mayhem Muzic Releases Her Record “VDay”

Music

Mayhem Muzic is holding it down for the ladies in a big way. She’s making sure you feel her heartfelt raps. Her latest release “VDay” feels like a letter out of a journal. It’s a deep record from a female’s point of view. It’s a soulful record but still has this street sense to it. Mayhem Muzic sounds like she has a lot to get off of her chest. The beat feels like it’s missing a verse from Boosie to make it a hood classic.
