Hyped up anthem ‘K.O.’ helps put NY artist Hollowed B. on the map 

BUFFALO, NY – Picture the next heavyweight champion of the world walking out to the ring for his next big bout. There’s a song playing in the arena as he walks down the aisle. It gets him hyped up. It gets you hyped up. It gets the entire auditorium hyped up.  

That song could be the new single from New York artist Hollowed B. called “K.O.” Filled with energy and superfast flow, the song is the latest from this fast-rising artist whose unique sound and style is lighting up the music industry all along the East Coast. It’s a song that perfectly represents who he wants to be as an artist, embracing both a versatility and an attention to detail that when combined makes him a truly standout superstar. 

“You’ll get three different styles throughout the whole song which I think shows I’m truly adaptive to any sound,” Hollowed B said. “I’ve got multiple styles that I use frequently. From the wordplay to the tempo to the speed to the lyrics, you’ll be able to tell it’s me as soon as you hear the first note.” 

Repping what he calls a dual citizenship in the 716 to the two cities he calls home – Buffalo and Dunkirk – Hollowed B. has a very unique sound that finds its influences in artists such as BustaRhymesKendric Lamar, Tek-9, Tupac, and Biggie. There’s also a Twista kind of a speed to his flow, and a 2Chainz or Snoop Dogg smooth flow on some other singles.  

“My music is real, bluntly honest and 100 percent mine,” he said. “I work hard in the studio and usually everything is produced, mixed and mastered by me. I write a lot of songs across all genres and I just want to be known for creating great music – timeless, long-lasting music. That’s what I want my name to be known for. I want to create something close to perfection in music because to me it’s more than just music. There’s a message in every one of my songs.” 

Following the success of “K.O.,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms, Hollowed B. said he’s planning on dropping a new single every month which is something he’s been doing for the past five or six months. Along the way, he’s been on the Coast2Coast Mixtape Tour and recorded close to 1,000 songs.

Morgan Mowinski & A2 – Rainy Days

ME Blog, Music, Promo

R&B and Pop pair with future-sounding production 
on new EP from Morgan Mowinski and A2 

FLINT, MI – A new EP from Michigan R&B artist Morgan Mowinski and producer A2 perfectly captures the ethereal feeling of 2020 and the liminal space in which so many people find themselves during this time of “Temporary Isolation.” With an otherworldly blend of A2’s distinct style and Mowinski’s truly original vocals, “Temporary Isolation” is the kind of groundbreaking project that will have fans all over the world begging for more.  

The debut single from the project is a song called “Rainy Days.” The definitive R&B feel of the track showcases a Pop-infused vocal from Mowinski that has an ethereal quality that soars over the top of the synthesized 808s. With interchangeable syncopated rhythms and sultry vocals, the song offers a light and airy groove that makes anyone listening want to sway and immediately puts them in a mellow mood. 

“All of the songs on the EP were put together during quarantine and collaborated on from a distance,” Mowinski said. “It’s a unique project that can’t be duplicated with its original style. Essentially, we’re exploring what it’s like to be in quarantine and the experiences we had during that time. And through that we want to relate it to everyone else’s experience this year.” 

The two artists have known each other for the past couple of years and have had the opportunity to work on other projects together. But Mowinski said this EP is the most in-depth collaboration they’ve had and as such, it required a great deal of back-and-forth communication and attention to detail. A2 would create loops or new beats and send them to Mowinski who would write and send back her own ideas. Through that unorthodox collaboration, the two were able to create something that’s truly unlike anything that has ever come before.  

“I feel that we do have a very different sound, though it’s kind of hard to explain,” Mowinski said. “I’m an R&B and Pop artist but I have a different way of going over a beat than other people would, I think. I’m very personal and open with music. Whatever I’m feeling, it’s 150 percent in the song. You know how I feel or what I was feeling at the time I wrote it. I’m very vulnerable with the music and I want to connect with people that way. Connecting and bringing people closer together is 100 percent what I want to do. When you hear one of my songs, I want you to be able to relate to it. That’s what I did with music when I was growing up. Whether I was sad or happy or whatever, I always related to a song or some piece of music, and I want other people to feel that way, too.” 

A2 also said he takes a different approach when producing, which he thinks adds another layer of originality to their combined sound. 

“Every song I do, I always stack four parts – kind of like the Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass – across everything,” he said. “It could be instruments or vocals or whatever. That makes the sound more full and helps to create that kind of pyramid of sound. Then I build everything from that foundation. I like futuristic, space-sounding music, but I like to make it sound different than anybody else’s music today. And with drums I also go for a newer sound and try to use more synthesizers or truck leads. ‘Temporary Isolation’ is a great example.” 

As Mowinski and A2 continue to ride the wave of success from their new EP and the debut single, they’re also already working on a new song that should come out in December or January.

Ric-a-Sha – Black Latina

Ric-a-Sha taps into ‘street spiritual’ sound with new single ‘Black Latina’ 

TAMPA BAY, FL – Ricardo “Ric-a-Sha” Stuvaints is an artist who has risen from the depths of one of the darkest cities in the U.S. and overcome multiple near-death experiences to become one of the industry’s most promising young entertainers. Originally from McKeesport, Pennsylvania – dubbed the fourtmost dangerous city in the nation – Ric-a-Sha has lived a life most only read about in stories. He literally dodged bullets as a teenager on multiple occasions before eventually getting shot five times in 2016. And though music was always a mainstay of his life, the shooting in 2016 changed everything for him and convinced him to change his life. He turned to music as a career, and hasn’t looked back since.  

“I come from a rough background and I was not always living the right life. But when I got shot, it changed everything for me,” Ric-a-Sha said. “When I got discharged from the hospital, I was basically homeless, and if I had gone back to being homeless in that condition, it would have been crazy. I would have died. But a man who I consider to be one of the best men on earth, Mr. G, was there when I woke up and he saved my life. He paid for my flight to go to Dallas and he helped me realize my career as a musician. That’s when I did the ‘Youngin Thuggin’ video, and everything kind of fell into place after that.” 

Eventually, Ric-a-Sha would make his way to Florida where he’s been writing and recording music ever since. His latest single, “Black Latina,” has been making waves throughout the industry since its release last month across all streaming platforms. Showcasing his vocal range and one-of-a-kind flow, “Black Latina” is the kind of sultry song with which every man in the world can connect. 

“It’s a love story about this beautiful Dominican girl,” Ric-a-Sha said. “When I was 19-years-old, I was in a relationship with a Dominican girl from the Polo Grounds. We went on a few dates and on one particular date, I just really felt like I wanted to be with her. She was something else and it was an awesome experience for me. Every man has a woman like that in his life, and she was the motivation behind this song for me.” 

Ric-a-Sha said the song demonstrates a unique sound and style that he calls “street spiritual.” It’s a signature style that he hopes to become known for as he continues to spread his music around the world. Since his awakening following the shooting in 2016, Ric-a-Sha has committed himself not only to becoming a better man but also to giving back to his community. While he was in Dallas, he worked at Soul For Christ Ministries and has continued to volunteer at various nonprofit organizations and ministries 

“I’ve basically been going through six years of change, but most of it over the past four years since I was shot,” he said. “Over that time, I’ve embraced this idea of street spiritual. That’s my mantra. It’s my motivation. And it’s my movement. That’s what I’m all about, and that’s what I want my music to be about, too.”

Byzantine – ILL

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Saints of the Byzantine Era drop timely wisdom through counter-cultural message on new single ‘ILL’ 

BALTIMORE, MD & PHILADELPHIA, PA – Byzantine is a new edgy Hip Hop group from Baltimore and Philadelphia whose music represents a light in a dark period. Adopting monikers of Saints of the Byzantine Era, these masterful artists use cautionary tales, songs of hope and good vibes paired with grit from the streets to offer a refreshing aura to the world of Hip Hop 

The six artists who make up the group are St. Basil, St Justinian, St Percinnius, St. Leo, St. Phocas and St. Zeno.  Together they’re introducing their unique sound and style to the world with their single “ILL” which features another artist named St. Justinian. Originally introduced to the group as an idea from St Justinian, the song offers a platform upon which each of the artists is able to spit some hot lyrics and showcase their individual styles while also offering a timely message to the world. 

“Each of us individually has a different sound,” St. Leo said. “I’m more laid back, while St. Zeno and St. Phocas are more animated than myself. When we come together, we blend well together. No one else out there has that type of bond when they rap. Most groups you see today will have one artist carrying the rest of the group, but we’re all carrying each other and we all bring that same level of talent to the table.” 

The idea behind the Byzantine brand was first formulated by a mutual mentor of the artists. They’ve all rapped separately and worked on individual music careers while also rubbing shoulders through collaborations and through family affiliations. When their mentor suggested the idea of forming a group with the Byzantine mission behind it, they each began to gravitate toward one another.  

“There was an immediate natural chemistry,” St. Basil said. “As we talked about this idea of the Byzantine Era and taking the names of these saints – who represented things that an intellectually and socially unenlightened world needed to hear – we realized that we’re in the same type of time now. When we rap, we’re rapping the opposite of what the world sees or thinks. We flip things right side up through our music.” 

According to St. Phocas, the big picture for the group is creating music that is thought-provoking, aggressively challenging, and inspiring through its personal and sometimes convicting messages.  

“We want people to understand we’re not talking about the same things everybody else is talking about,” St. Phocas said. “We’re not degrading our women or our brothers and sisters like a lot of other Hip Hop artists do today. We’re making songs that sound good and also have a deeper message.” 

Their unique sound and style has definitely put them on the map within the music industry. Their music has been featured on regular rotation with Sway in the Morning, and it has also been featured on Air It Out Radio. With more music in the works following the success of “ILL,” Byzantine is sure to become one of Hip Hop’s most motivational and long-lasting groups.

ZI – Cocky

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Fast-rising young R&B artist ZI drops catchy new single ‘Cocky’ 

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – ZI is an R&B artist who was born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and has always had music as a centerpiece of his life. He wrote one of his first songs, “Stalking Me” at age 11 and has been slowly gaining more and more fans in the years since. His first full-length project was a mixtape called “1998” which put him on the national stage. Today, the 21-year-old artist is ready to take his skills into all parts of the world. 

The latest single from East Coast artist ZI is so hot that it’s skyrocketed past 100,000 views on YouTube in only one week. “Cocky,” featuring female artist TiaCorine, is a Hip Hop/Pop/R&B fusion that pairs a good vibe with a catchy hook for the kind of song that is immediately identifiable as a hit within just the first few bars. It’s a signature style that ZI has perfected over the years, and it’s a sound that’s about to make a splash around the world as this fast-rising artist rides a wave of success from this new single. 

“I’m an R&B singer, but it’s a different type of R&B which you’ll hear on this track,” ZI said. “I can be Pop or I can rap a little bit or I can do different things with my voice and venture off to different genres, so I’m not an in-the-box type of R&B singer. With this song, I’m just having fun and giving people something catchy to listen to. I get called cocky a lot but in the song, I’m more saying that I’m cocky but she still loves me. You can be cocky but a good woman will still be down for you and still love you. So I wanted to take that word and make it into something meaningful and heartfelt and just have fun with it.” 

ZI said he’s been influenced over the years by music legends such as Chris Brown, Usher, Brandi, and especially Lauryn Hill. He points to his word craft as a lyricist as one of the things that helps him stand out in a crowded music marketplace, and he credits Lauryn Hill as the inspiration for that trademark of his style.  

“I’m really into writing music, and Lauryn Hill really influenced me as a lyricist,” he said. “I love finding lyrics that connect to others and helps them to feel something when they listen to my music. I can really get inspired by anything which I think helps me to relate to a lot of people around the world.” 

In the coming months, ZI said he’ll be working on a follow-up album called “Pretty Boy” which he said should drop in early 2021. The music video for “Cocky” is currently available on his YouTube channel.

ADIHA – The Boogeyman

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

International artist and author ADIHA examines forbidden love with unique story-song concept for The Burning One 

HOUSTON, TX – An alluring story of forbidden love between a young woman and a mysterious dark figure takes shape in the first installment of “The Burning One” series, created by exotic and mysterious artist ADIHA.  Weaving this unique story through multiple mediums—from book to film to animations to music—ADIHA explores the attraction to misunderstood darkness, personified in her story as a jinn-beingJinn are more commonly known in Western culture as geniesWe are all too familiar with the lovable “Genie” from Aladdinbut in contrast, ADIHA’s jinn character is a byproduct of haunting folklore, allowing her interpretation of jinn to have a darker, more mysterious connotation.  Stories suggest that jinn are a different kind of being made from “smokeless fire,” and that these amorphous entities live amongst us, probably in some inter-dimensional plane. 

The Burning One tells the tale of a human girl who forms a relationship with a male jinn – a being made from fire,” ADIHA confirms. “It’s a concept that I’ve worked on for many years, and I was inspired by this idea since childhood.  We would tell our own scary jinn stories, which to me, were much scarier than ghost stories.  Jinn are beings too, understood from religious text and from literature like The Arabian Nights.  And I think that’s the most interesting part of it for me, that they coexist with humans but are separated by interdimensional boundaries.  Many people do not like to talk about jinn because they’re afraid the interest will attract them into our world.  I’ve gotten more than a few angry stares from adults when I was a child, asking them more about the topic of my intrigue.  I’m trying to use something with a basis in history, religion, and folklore to create an interesting, and albeit probably taboo, fictional story.” 

That story unfolds in multiple ways in a multimedia approach with an initial release of five songs – the first of which is a new song called “The Boogeyman” that was released on Halloween weekend. ADIHA will continue the story every other week with new single releases on Fridays. And each single will be accompanied by a tantalizing excerpt of the story. “The Boogeyman” is an introduction to the story, setting the stage for the rest of the series. The young girl encounters the jinn as a child. He scares her by showing up in her room while she’s sleeping and threatening to bite her toes off.”  However, at the same time he charms her “like Michelangelo at his rough marble slab” by making her daydreams come to life from the “as-yet unhewn reality.” It’s the first step in what will become a complicated inter-dimensional relationship, ADIHA said – one that will ultimately reach its climax with the last single in this installment, “Quantum Entanglement.”  

“With ‘The Boogeyman’ I wanted to have more of a Middle Eastern vibe to pay homage to the historical roots of the jinn concept,” ADIHA said. “You can hear the drums and the background music that have kind of an Arabic feel to it, and even in the music video, you’ll see me wearing some traditional clothing. But every song in this story will have its own sound. The next song that comes out on Friday the 13th will be haunting and more classical, while ‘Quantum Entanglement’ will be more atmospheric and dreamy. But all of them will fall into that darker place because that’s the tone that fits my story.  The dark is often considered ugly, but sometimes the most beautiful things can come from the dark.  I’ve learned this from my own life.  It’s okay to appreciate the dark. 

ADIHA is no stranger to music, having trained professionally as a vocalist, she focused on classical pieces and opera in her previous years.  Her dad is a guitarist and had his own band in his younger years in Pakistan called The Sound of the Silhouettes, accounting for much of ADIHA’s inherited love of music.  Though she has always had a love for music, she’s spent much of the previous decade going to dental school and practicing as a dentist. But 2020 brought major changes in her life and inspired her to get back in touch with her passion for music and storytelling. She’s spent much of her life creating thworld of The Burning Oneshe’s spent much of this year bringing this world to life, and she’s excited now to share the “multiverse of storytelling with audiences far and wide.

Midwest Diplomat – They Don’t Know About Us

Industry Spotlight, Music, Promo

Midwest Diplomat is all about originality, identity and a gnarly vibe in his new release ‘They Don’t Know About Us’ 

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – A musician who is all about expressing his identity and being true to himself, Midwest Diplomat is a man of many experiences. His latest single “They Don’t Know About Us,” featuring Caitlynn Fox and Tyler Harris, discusses some of his experiences as a college fraternity member, detailing it in a way that is both relatable and easy to listen to. 

Midwest Diplomat’s journey began through music based therapy. “Originally music was therapy for me. By the time I hit high school, I was dealing with some issues related to my schizophrenia, which I hadn’t been diagnosed with yet. It became very therapeutic for me even though much of what I was doing at the time was just playing follow-the-leader. When I got to college, I started to pick up on it, though, as a way to connect with people. It’s really just continued from there.” 

A man of many talents, Midwest Diplomat has a wide range as a musician. His current music has influences from genres such as Pop-Rap, Party-Rap, Rock-Rap, Pop, Electronic, Country, R&B, Polka, Funk, Alternative and Trap music. Despite this, he doesn’t go by any direct label as a musician. “To put it simply, my music is gnarly, diplomatic and original. There is more than one side to me as a person and I think that’s important to be aware of. Of course I enjoy the fun, party lifestyle, but I also want that happily-ever-after. Similarly, I like to connect my music to different genres and ideas and bring them together into one.” 

“They Don’t Know About Us” is a song that brings together Midwest Diplomat’s past and future. The track talks about how people would see him as a college student and how he has grown from that. “In the beginning, the song was about my fraternity and my life as a part of it. I realized pretty quickly though, that it was much more than that especially now, because my fraternity has grown so much in their own right. We keep finding more people to help us grow and break the mold, and I think that relates to the song really well.” 

This song features both a singer and saxophone player from the Indiana based band called The Indigos. Bringing them into the project helped Midwest Diplomat create his vision with “They Don’t Know About Us,” and continues to help further his point of growth, community and identity. 

Keep an eye out for more to come from Midwest Diplomat as he is gearing up to a possible new album to come out sometime within the year and is looking to set up a tour in the near future. Until then, you can find him in the Indianapolis area, cultivating their music scene and working on his graduate degree.

Shaudy Prince – Stash Spot

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Shaudy Prince promotes his Royal Ratchet sound with the new wave ‘Disgusta 

AUGUSTA, GA – Rashad L Jacobs – known professionally as Shaudy Prince – is a Jamaican-American rapper, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur from the outskirts of the Southside of Augusta, Georgiabetter known as “Uptown.” Prince is the flagship recording artist to represent the most irrefutable and indisputable independent record label Hood Royalty Empire. His latest EP, “Crabs in a Bucket” featuring the hot track “Disgusta,” proves that the quality of his music is among the best in the industry and as such demands attention from fans all over the world. 

“I’ve created my own sound within the Rap genre that I call Royal Ratchet,” Prince said. “I’m playing off that hood royalty vibe. You get the dichotomy of Royal Ratchet from me because I am them both. My mindset has always been royalty, but ratchet is what I’ve been around my whole life. So you still get the raw, uncut, bottles-poppin, let’s-get-money music from me because that’s been a part of my environment. I’m not completely clean but I am a prince.” 

Hood Royalty Empire is the platform upon which Prince showcases his innovative Rap style which has been captivating a wave of fans across the U.S. since he began in 2017. Growing in scope and depth with each new release, Prince has been perfecting his Royal Ratchet sound across a string of successful releases. His style builds a crowd’s interest with emotion to the point where fans all over the world are demanding more recordings, performances, and playlist spots from this fast-rising artist.  

On “Disgusta,” Prince shows off his overtone and gritty flow. Inspired by the sub-culture of Augusta, Georgia, his rebuttal is a critical take on the fake lifestyle that so many in the area present to the rest of the world.  

“I’m disgusted with where I’m from just like all the other people who call it Disgusta,” Prince said. “I see the mindsets and the energy of that place and it disgusts me. But I’m gonna take this name that’s so negative and make it into a positive by attaching it to my brand to shine some kind of positive light on where I’m from. I’m telling a story with my mind, and I just want to put my mark on the world. I want to be known for ownership. I built this from the ground up and yet I can’t seem to even get a pat on the back from my community. But once people see the growth and the evolution of my sound, they’ll see that I did it. And then all those people who doubted me and looked down on me will see that the work paid off, and if they had stayed by my side, they would have been able to reap the fruits of that labor, too.” 

Disgusta” is just one of many projects that Prince said shows just how much his music is “built off a passion.” And it’s just the first of many more to come!

BraeSteez – Need to Know

ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Original sound from East Coast artist BraeSteez takes center stage with new single ‘Need To Know 

WOODBRIDGE, VA – Don’t move too fast, it might mess up your flow. And watch out for BraeSteez because he’s about to blow. This young up-and-coming artist from the East Coast is set to become the next big name in music, and his forthcoming single “Need To Know” is proof that he has skills that demand attention. Tapping into that lyrical Jazz vibe for which Hip Hop was originally known, BraeSteez brings a cool vibe that pairs smooth lyrical delivery alongside sexy saxophones on the back of the beat for a truly original sound. 

His talent as a lyricist is perhaps what people will notice first. His witty wordplay is a display for his self-described “different personality.” It’s a characteristic that he said he’s proud of and knows is the thing that helps to set him apart from others in the industry. 

“A lot of other artists today are honing in on only one thing and speaking of themselves,” BraeSteez said. “I have an ability to reach people with my voice. I’m not playing for a crowd or just trying to make something that people will think is cool. I’m not limiting myself to the songs that you hear at the club – the ones that you play and have fun and go home and forget. I feel like I can reach people’s souls and minds with my music. And at the end of the day, I want my music to be known for helping people by opening their minds and giving them confidence.” 

Need To Know” is the first of 38 songs BraeSteez said he plans to drop over the next year. He admits that 38 is a lot of music to release in one year, but he said the inspiration for that strategy came from Chris Brown who has dropped nearly 50 songs over the past year.  

“I want to show people I’m a hard worker and I’m coming into the game strong,” he said. “I want to let people know I’m here to work, and I love to make music and I have plenty of lyrics to share with the world. I can freestyle, but I can also write and mostly I can make great music with instrumentals and production. I love everything about music.” 

BraeSteez first got his start with music when he was 7 years old. He loved Lil Wayne and Eminem and would mimic them in his bedroom, perfecting the art of the flow. As he grew older, he studied other artists such as G-Unit, Jay-Z, Big PimpinJ.Cole, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar. However, one of his biggest inspirations is Tory Lanez because he gave him the confidence to sing and rap and always follow his dreams and purpose in life.  

At age 18, he started recording music and with each studio session, he would develop his signature sound a little bit more. Eventually, he created such a buzz that he was invited to have meetings with representatives at Atlantic Records and Rock Nation. Though he had yet to sign with any label, he’s hopeful that the singles he has planned for this next year will land him that big deal.

Autistic artist PolishAxe0 uses platform to inspire others with new single ‘Haters’

MACUNGIE, PA – Brandon Gehr has been the unfortunate victim of a lot of hate in his life. At 22 years old, this young autistic artist from Pennsylvania has had to navigate some difficult relationships during his life, and music has long been an outlet for his jumbled up emotions. 

He’s letting those emotions out and pushing back against all those haters with his new single “Haters,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. He said it’s a song that he hopes will inspire others to fight back against bullying and hate, and provide a little bit of a self-esteem boost along the way. 

“No matter what somebody tells you that you can’t do, if you know in your heart that you can then you should do it,” Gehr said. “That’s why I use the name PolishAxe0. I’m Polish and the axe is the symbol of my life because it represents strength. No matter what I’ve been through, I know I’m strong and can push through it. The zero means I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. I’ll always be myself and rap about things I think will connect with other people. With that kind of mentality, I can’t be hurt. One of my lines in the song says, ‘My axe is my armor. Nobody can harm her or disarm her or charm her. The strength in my life is to keep going.’ So basically it’s a song that says nobody will ever bring me down, no matter what they say. And I hope it inspires other people to chase their dreams. If someone is feeling down, I want this song to uplift them and make them feel positive.” 

PolishAxe0 said he started rapping only a few months ago, though music has been a major part of his life for as long as he can remember. He said he wants to be known as an inspirational rapper who writes songs about getting through anxiety, depression, anti-bullying, autism, and other personal issues. 

“I have been through them all,” he said. “I want to reach the hearts of millions and for them to truly understand my music in the most personal way possible. I have put my heart, soul and money into music, and I will not stop until I touch a lot of people’s hearts. My biggest goal is to change people’s lives in the most positive ways.” 

PolishAxe0 said “Haters” is the first of many singles to come and that he’s working on an album that should be released in early 2021. Two other singles from the album could drop before the end of the year, he said.
