M Jane – IONO

Southern soul meets Hip Hop with new single from M Jane

LITTLE ROCK, AR – What do you get when you mix a little bit of Soul, a little bit of Hip Hop, a little bit of a Southern drawl and a whole lot of sass? You get one of the hottest new female artists on the planet.

Look out world, here comes M Jane.

Hailing out of Little Rock, Arkansas, this fast-rising young talent is set to take the music industry by storm with her unique new sound and style. Her debut single, “IONO,” is already creating buzz throughout the Southeast and priming her for a whorl wind second half of the year as she drops more and more music.

The single shows off her naturally soulful voice which she’s honed over the years of singing Gospel in the church and exploring her sound at performances all over the country. It’s a song that talks about the anticipatory moments that come in that period right before you’ve attained success – the moments that are difficult to wait on.

“It talks about before I get on, I’m waiting to get on,” M Jane said. “I don’t know when it’s gonna happen but I know it’s gonna come. I might get a lot of haters behind it, but I’m gonna keep pushing and keep grinding while I’m waiting for that success.”

The up-tempo vibe is a perfect introduction to new fans of her one-of-a-kind style and is sure to have people bouncing as soon as they hear it. Like all of her music, “IONO” was written and produced all on her own. M Jane said she’s been honing her craft as a musician since she was about 7 years old, and for the past decade has worked hard to become a quality producer who can make her own beats and mix her own music. When she combines that with her true, natural gift as a singer, she becomes a singular talent within the world of Hip Hop.

“A lot of Hip Hop female singers aren’t true, raw singers,” said her manager Desmond Tappin. “They might know how to sing or have a decent tone but they have to rely on auto-tune to make it sound perfect. But M Jane has the whole background of singing and has a natural talent. Plus, she knows music – she knows notes and keys and theory. Put those things together and you get a different sound to Hip Hop than anything else out there. She has that true soul vibe that goes with the Hip Hop that creates a different sound for the listeners. More than anything else, she just creates really, really, really good music. Most people in Hip Hop right now and anyone who is a fan of that genre will hear her music and know immediately that it’s good. She’s not a one-hit wonder who will be gone in a couple of years. She’s the real thing and this is just the beginning.”

Jay Against Humanity – Straight Fire

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

New single from Jay Against Humanity is
‘a whole song full of quotable bars’

BALTIMORE, MD – Jay Against Humanity, who is from Detroit, Michigan, has felt like he’s the only one who had his own back – the only one who could see the dream he had for a better life and who had the fire in his belly to do whatever it took to make that dream become a reality. He fought against haters and even people who seemingly went out of their way to stop his momentum. In fact, at times it seems like it was him against all of humanity.

He could have buckled under that pressure, but instead he embraced it. It inspired him to go harder. He started doubling his efforts. He took that chip on his shoulder and put it into making the kind of legacy-lasting music that only artists once in a generation create.

Out of that work came his newest single, “Straight Fire” (feat. Rocky Badd) which is a precursor to his new EP “I’m Chillin’ 2”. This EP is set to drop later this year. Described as an introspective look into his life and the things he’s had to overcome to get to this point in his career, “I’m Chillin’ 2” is the kind of project that will have people hitting “repeat” just to catch all of the gold dripping from his bars. It’ll also take listeners through a variety of moods and emotions – from party records to love songs to singles oozing with aggression.

“‘Straight Fire’ is a whole song full of quotable bars,” Jay said. It’s almost as if someone was in a cyper or a freestyle booth – it’s just all bars. And in the middle of that, Rocky brings her fierce lyricism and shows why she’s one of the top rappers in Detroit. She is one of the emerging female artists out there and she really brings the fuel to help spark fires with this project. I’ve known about her for a while and I’ve been a fan of her music for the last four or five years. She has a lot of dope singles out and I just reached out to her and asked if she wanted to collaborate on this project. I’m a real lyricist and I’m also in tune with myself, which is a big part of being a successful musician, I think. You have to be able to be vulnerable and personable. Everything I make is influenced by my real life, and that’s my idea of being vulnerable and being out there and not being afraid to be myself. Rocky does that too, and that’s why I knew she’d be perfect for this song. I want my music to inspire and heal people. I’m real big on healing and helping the community and helping the people. And more than anything, I want my music to be the kind of music that people can reflect on and remember at different times in their lives to help them out in any situation.”

“Straight Fire” is currently available across all streaming platforms, and “I’m Chillin’ 2” is set to follow in the next couple of months.

Chazo – World Go Round

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

Chazo takes fans on journey with new EP ‘Good Food. Good Woman. Good Vibes.’

HARLEM, NY – Good Food. Good Woman. Good Vibes.

That’s not only the name of the new EP from Harlem-based Hip Hop artist Chazo, it’s also the embodiment of everything he holds dear in life. As owner of his own publishing company, FamilyLoyaltyOughtaWin music” Music, he works hard every day to help those three things be realized. He’s a businessman and an artist, and he has blazed his own path through the music industry in a way that redefines how success can be attained.

The new EP showcases his unique talent across four songs that explore those three core things in his life.

“It’s basically what I’ve experienced in life, from traveling in the urban community and the streets to where I am today,” he said of the project. “It reflects a lot of that atmosphere and you get a lot of those vibes. It also nods to some of my early work in that sonically, it starts off with more of a 90s feel and then grows into something that feels like it could be played in a stadium. And then by the end, you come to a lighter type of sound that is perfect for chilling by the ocean and relaxing.”

In addition to the EP, Chazo has also released the single “Money Make World Go Round,” which features his unique rapping ability underneath a soulful sample. The single has been getting some good play across the country and is being praised for its lyrical depth and substance.

“I’m not just gonna put out a single and try to catch people,” Chazo said of the single. “I want people to grow with me and to really listen. I’m giving you me and my story. I’m letting people in. This is one of those songs that lets you get in tune with me and want to go back to my old music.”

Chazo said he’s been rapping since he was a young kid. He did loved it so much that he started writing his own raps and exploring the business side of entertainment. In 2005, he went to college to get a business degree and got wrapped up in the YouTube sensation that was just beginning to take off. He joined a group of other Hip Hop artists and found himself filling the role of a visionary businessman. He started writing more songs while also helping other artists, all the while waiting for his moment to release his own music. Over the years, he’s been able to develop his own unique sound and style that today is one that is set to take the world by storm.

“I have a message,” he said. “I’m not just telling my story but giving people more integrity and showing two sides of the spectrum. There’s always two sides and I’m always gonna give you the other side. I don’t want to glorify nothing, that’s the main thing. As we build together, I’ll work on more and more music. But right now, I just want people to marinate with this EP and this single and get a feel for who I am.”

Icey Flexx – It Don’t Stop

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Canadian artist Icey Flexx announces his talent
to the world with new Single ‘It Don’t Stop’

Vince Jagger Bouba was born on February 19, 2001 in Ottawa, Ontario Canada and was raised by French parents. In 2017, he adopted the stage name “Icey Flexx”. As a kid, Vince was always into music. Back in his high school, he always used to drop freestyles at school or in places where it was crowded with his friends for fun.

During his teen life, Vince was participating in illegal activities to put some money in his pockets. However, he never got caught or convicted. He tried to get a job though but realized it was not for him. So he ended up finding another way to get it.

Vince was really into music his whole life. He said, “I was always listening to music I was initially into pop because of Michael Jackson. But the type of music that really amazed me was mostly Hip Hop and Rap. The whole Cash Money YMCMB group really inspired me. I became influenced by Drake and Lil Wayne as well as Rick Ross and Tyga. I started freestyling at the age of 9 and started recording music when I was 15. One day, one of my friends told me I was really good at it and that I should take it more seriously. I was not interested at first but I realized later that this is what I wanted to do – make music and get money.”

Icey had been working hard and is developing his own unique sound and style of Rap, slowly putting together a body of work that he can share with the world. Though primarily in the Hip Hop genre, his sound slides to R&B from time to time when he feels like it.

Icey is offering to his hottest single “It Don’t Stop – Prod. Royce.” The up-tempo, energetic track is a statement to the world that no matter what challenges he may face or setbacks that may come his way, he will continue to pursue his dream. The party keeps going and it doesn’t stop.

“I had to stop rapping for a bit in 2018 for a variety of reasons like school and work. I just got back into it this year and this song is about letting people know nothing stopped,” he said. “I motivate and push myself in my music or in whatever I want to succeed in. So this is kind of a statement to all those people who are trying to bring me down that I won’t stop. I’m going to keep pushing until I make it out or until I’m satisfied.”

The single is slated to drop August 24 and will be available across all streaming platforms but right now it’s only available on SoundCloud He also said he’s planning to drop an album next summer called “Party Life” to get the summer vibes going. Stay tuned as this will continue to showcase his ability to mix Hip Hop and R&B. He calls it a project that’s all about “having fun, being young, living life and having good vibes.”

Icey Flexx is on the come up and is putting out work to make it out. To listen to his music or to follow him on social media, please visit

Hunter 6 Letterz – Shawty

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

Hunter 6 Letterz drops fourth EP of the year
with ‘Revolutionary Trap’

WINSTON SALEM, NC – Hunter 6 Letterz cannot be stopped. The Hip Hop artist out of North Carolina is like a music-making machine. He’s already made three EPs this year and he’s set to drop his fourth on Sept. 2 in the form of “Revolutionary Trap.” And he’s not looking to stop anytime soon as he has plans to drop more singles later this year. He is hard at work for a full album that he plans to release at the beginning of 2020.

On top of that, he has a clothing line coming out in mid-September, he’s booking shows at festivals all along the East Coast, and he’s actively pursuing collaboration projects with other artists. When asked why he’s working so hard and putting out so much music, his answer was simple: “I’m really gonna grasp a lot of people’s attention.”

“I’ve come up with my own genre that I call Revolutionary Trap,” he said. “I’m the first one to do it and I’m trying to get it out there to as many people as possible. It’s basically speaking positive music onto trap beats. When I do music like that and when I play it for people, it grabs their attention. They say, ‘I like this song! I’m learning something. It’s actually teaching me something positive about myself or this world or about what’s going on.’ It’s a very eye-opening sound and style. It’s about waking up every day and seeing what’s going on in the world. Every time I turn on the TV, there’s a mad shooting or something negative going on in the world, but it doesn’t have to be that way. The world needs a leader who speaks about the truth and picks everybody up – not just for one race but for every race. I’m ready to be that leader.”

Hunter 6 Letterz has been a musician for many years, getting his first start at only age 6 when his father, who was the front man for a group called Lock and Load, wrote him a line and challenged him to rap it. Hunter said he practiced it and performed it for his father, and when his dad saw the effort he put into it, he knew his son had the makings of being a successful musician. Over the years, he encouraged his son and the hard work paid off. Hunter became a member of The Black Diamond Boyz as a teenager and they recorded albums with the independent label Onfolyfe Records. “Two Minds, One Dream,” hosted by DJ Chuck, was his first released album, and it took over the streets of North Carolina.

In 2017, he went solo and started his own independent label, IVOS (Invite Only Society). His first single under that label was “Muchociliente” which was a smash hit off his solo project “6 Protons.” He followed that up with “6 Neutrons” and later “6 Electrons.” On all of his projects, he showcases his masterful use of lyrics and metaphors in ways that he knows will help educate his listeners and encourage them through hard times. A perfect example of that is the debut single from his most recent album, a song called “Shawty.”

“It’s a song about how a woman can help a man stay gentle in this world as he’s going through his everyday problems,” Hunter said. “It’s about getting back to that unity of men and women working as a team. If we can do that, a lot of things will change in this world.”

Hunter said he doesn’t just speak about making change in his music. He also lives what he says. He gives a portion of his profits to organizations in the community that help care for the homeless, and he’s working to complete paperwork on his own nonprofit organization that would help feed and clothe homeless people in North Carolina. Under his label, he also works to give overlooked artists a chance to work their way into the industry.

“You don’t have to be a certain type of person to be an artist,” he said. ‘You can bring light to people’s eyes in so many ways. I want to help bring a change to so many people, and a lot of that comes out through ‘Revolutionary Trap.’”

Holy Boe – Flexin

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Best friends follow-up success of first single
with hot new vibe on ‘Flexian’

AUSTIN, TX – “Flexin” is the perfect title for the hot new single from Austin’s newest super duo Holy Boe. Made by best friends Boe Savage and Holy Prodigy, the new single is just the latest collaboration from the two young artists and features vibes that are sure to make people bounce. It’s a vibe about getting money and flexin’ on people because of the high you’re feeling off a wave of success – which is exactly how the two friends feel right now with their music career.

Savage, age 19 and Prodigy, age 22, started making music at a young age when they became friends in elementary school. It started off as a hobby, but when Savage’s mother passed away, he turned to music and his best friend to help him deal with the overwhelming emotions. That focus on their music helped them hone their sound and create a style that was truly one-of-a-kind.

But the work of these artists goes further than music. Though they’re not from the same family, you could never tell. And out of all those shared experiences, they’ve created something that is seamless and “easy,” as Savage calls it.

“We make it easy to nod your head as we speak on an unforgotten past and a very bright future,” Prodigy said. “We work in unison. And we create vibes for any listener – from hanging with the homiest to late-night slow jams.”

Though they’re only in their first few months of making music together professionally, they’ve already seen some success with their two single releases. Prior to “Flexin,” they released “For My Bros” earlier this year which has racked up more than 50,000 streams across various digital streaming sites. They have plenty more bangers on the way, too, with a plan to continue launching hot tracks throughout the end of 2019 and into 2020.

“We can make any type of song you want,” Savage said. “Any mood you want to feel. We can slow it down or bring it up – literally anything you want, we can do it. When we work together, it’s just easy. It’s so easy to feed off his vibe. I can bring you that savage, mega vibe and he has these really deep lyrics and the two just work well together.”

Holy Boe said they have plans to drop an album or EP later this year and are working to book a performance for sometime toward the end of September at a venue to be announced at a later date.

Dre-Key Ghetto Millionaire – Right Now (Remix)

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

New remix by Dre-Key Ghetto Millionaire tells the world to do it “Right Now”

HOUSTON, TX – The seasoned independent artist from Texas, Dre-Key Ghetto Millionaire delivers a crucial message in his epic new single “Right Now” (Remix): You don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, so if you have something on your mind, you got to do it right now. It is a motto for him at the moment. He sees no point in procrastinating. “If you’re gonna do it,” he says, “go on and do it.”

A very intense energy which pulls you in sets the remix apart from the original “Right Now” single released late last year. He also switches between four different rap styles. “A lot of people ask ‘How many people are on this song?’ It’s just me!” Dre-Key exclaimed. A new video has been filmed for the remix. The video for the original version, released late last year, landed Dre-Key on the music video show, “Street Flava” hosted by D-Solo.

For the new remix, he was planning to use the same track. But, when his producer presented him with a new track to listen to, Dre-Key knew within minutes that the new track was the way to go. He adapted some of the lyrics and the remix developed from there.

Dre-Key describes himself as the most complete rapper. He literally listens to all kinds of music – an early present of two very different CDs (“Marvin Gaye’s Greatest Hits” and “The Best of Mozart”) sparked off a love for music in general. As a student of the rap industry for many years, Dre-Key dropped his first mixtape in 1991. Dre-Key is a compilation of all music and genres he has studied, from the Sugar Hill Gang to artists such as Drake and Migos. He also views music as the universal language. “It’s easier to communicate my ideas and ambitions to people through music.”

Dre-Key has been active on the Texas entertainment scene for many years. For more than 5 years, Dre-Key worked as hype man for the rap alter ego, Madd Hatta, known as Mista Madd (from one of Houston’s top radio morning shows), and as Operations Manager for Hatta’s label, “Paid In Full.” Originally from the small town of Conroe, TX, moving to Houston was a big change for Dre-Key. Meeting and working with all the stars coming through the radio station and record company helped him gain valuable experience which influences his own music career.

He has also worked in television,film & video. Dre-Key’s single “I Got That” (produced by Grammy nominated J-Lacey) was in the independent film “Krank the Movie” in which he also made a cameo appearance. Dre-Key has made numerous other appearances including the underground classic street film “Dirty Third 2” (featuring cameos by E-40 and Scarface), and in the video “Candy Paint & Gold Teeth” by Wacka Flocka Flame ft. Bun B. and Ludacris (along with cameos by Scarface Trae da Truth and T.V. Johnny Dang). Additionally, he appeared in the “Wish You Would” video by OTB Fastlane and Fastlane’s “Dawg Azz” remix featuring Lil’ Boosie.

Dre-Key recently finished recording a new mixtape called “Bread Bag,” due for release in September. Also in the works is a studio album entitled “Best Rap Album Ever,” slated for early 2020. An old school rapper, Dre-Key uses more musical beats. He has expanded his style to reach today’s audience with this album. Mostly recorded at Anarchy Studios in Houston (Def Jam, MTV, BET, Epic, Sony), Dre-Key is working with some of the hottest artists in the Houston area. “The album is gonna be ridiculous,” said Dre-Key. “I’m calling it the best rap album ever because it’s got something on there from every era of rap.”

Dre-Key stays in the mix of Houston’s live music scene and is finalizing plans for the “Rap It Up Tour”, hitting several spots in Houston and surrounding towns.

He’s been in the music game for many years, so Dre-Key believes that you can do whatever you want to do at whatever time, as long as you don’t let anything hold you back … and do it Right Now!

Mik’Que – Parallel

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Lyrical versatility shines on new single ‘Parallel’
from D.C. artist Mik’Que

WASHINGTON, D.C. – You never know when a life-changing flash of inspiration might strike. For D.C.-based rapper Mik’Que, it happened the first time he heard Kendrick Lamar’s first album, “Section 80.”

Though he’d been a fan of music for most of his childhood and had even played around with making music videos and free-styling with his friends, there was something about Kendrick Lamar’s album that unlocked a world of potential. It was the first time he really wanted to make music legitimately, and it was the first time he really appreciated the power of profound lyrics.

“That single album made me listen to his other albums and see how he evolved and changed and grew with his audience,” Mik’Que said. “I started learning about the business side of music and everything he did to get better, and it gave me inspiration. Not long after that, I started searching for studios and investing in myself. And the rest is history.”

In the years since, Mik’Que has seen some success with singles and mixtapes across multiple digital streaming sites. As he had consistently released single after single, he has slowly grown his audience and made a name for himself. Most recently, he dropped the single “Parallel” which he calls a “summertime-banger type of song.”

“The littlest thing can inspire me like with ‘Parallel,’ I was starting to get some royalties from Spotify on my previous song, ‘Proud,’ and it inspired me to write a new song,” Mik’Que said. “I released that last song around the New Year and it has a money-type theme to it. The royalties have been good and ‘Parallel’ paints a picture that parallels my life lately.”

More than anything, “Parallel” shows off the versatility that Mik’Que brings to the game. He can be very lyrical, but he can also whip any beat and can easily rap on anything or talk about any subject. He likes to tell stories from his life or touch on issues from within the culture, or even likes to look to the past for inspiration. But more than anything, it’s his lyrical versatility that stands out.

“I don’t want to have an EP or album that sounds the same as the one before,” he said. “I always want to explore something new and have something for everybody. That versatility and my lyrics are what make me stand out, I think. I can get technical, and I was more so when I first started. But I’ve become more lyrical over time and I think that helps me connect with people more.”

Mik’Que said he’s planning on putting out an EP of five or six songs by early November, and he’s currently working to book some shows throughout the Northeast later this year.

Heartless – We Made It

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Profanity-free rapper drops inspiring new single ‘We Made It’

PITTSBURGH, PA – Lendell Black, more commonly known as the American rapper and hip hop artist Heartless, is a one-of-a-kind musician who is doing everything he can to rewrite the stereotypes of a genre that he loves so deeply.

Heartless is known for his profanity-free and upbeat music within the world of hip hop – something that’s nearly unheard of within the genre. And that profanity-free street music is setting him apart from a lot of other artists in greater ways than just his standout lyrics. His beats and vibes are making feet move all over the country, and his unique sound is the kind of ear candy that fans just can’t get enough of.

“There are other artists out there who don’t use profanity, but my distinctive style is different and sets me apart from those who do,” Heartless said. “Usually you hear something in the hip hop genre and within 5 to 10 seconds, there’s profanity. I wanted to do something different. When I first started making music, I used profanity, and when my father heard it, he told me he understood what I was trying to accomplish but he encouraged me to reach out to my fans in a different way to make them understand where I’m coming from. A lot of people told me I wouldn’t be able to accomplish it if I went profanity-free, but over time, it has become easy and natural to me. I liked where I was going better than using curse words, and I hope my music shows other people that you can accomplish what you want without using profanity. Besides, street music does exist without profanity. I write about my life and have a lot of storytelling – a lot of things I’ve been through or am going through, or places I want to take in my life. And through all those experiences, I’m giving fans stories and different things from the street but through an entirely different lens.”

Most recently, Heartless dropped the new single “We Made It.” Described as a “gritty, upbeat-tempo song about getting out of the streets,” the song is one that Heartless said is something a wide range of fans will like because it taps into an idea with which everyone can relate.

“It’s about making it to a better place than where we were at before,” he said. “I grew up in the projects. Most of my time was spent doing ‘projects’ stuff. That’s where the song comes from – wanting to do something bigger and better. I always wanted something better for my life and when I started listening to people like LL Cool J and Mc Eiht, I started to dream about using music to make a better life for myself and think about those better places. Music was basically a way to escape everything I was going through. And the journey has been a good one with some pretty great fans. I have much love to all the fans who have been supporting me this far. I hope to have more people get to know about me, but I know that without the fans I have today, I wouldn’t be where I am and I appreciate them greatly.”

In addition to his work as a musician, Heartless is also a philanthropist who works hard to give back to his community. Most recently, he has become involved with the Mixed Connective Tissue Disease Association. He has people in his life who battle the disease and he said it has become an important cause which he hopes to raise awareness and financial support for.
