Alex Fraze – I Was Your Worst

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

Alex Fraze adds to the evolution of music with wavy new sound on forthcoming EP ‘Lover and a Fighter’ 

BALTIMORE, MD – Many people who live and around Maryland know it for its unfortunate nickname, “Murdaland.” It’s a name that stems from its extremely high crime rate and a homicide rate that puts its capital city, Baltimore, among the most dangerous cities in the world. But East Coast artist Alex Fraze is on a mission to help his hometown have a different reputation, one that embraces love. His latest EP, “Lover and a Fighter,” is a project that pays homage to Michael Jackson, one of his biggest influences. MJ was known for saying he was a lover, not a fighter, but Fraze said he’s flipping it to say that he’s a lover and a fighter because he has deep love and passion inside him, but his music and energy is intense. It’s a project that comes with a lot of passion and good vibes that Fraze describes as “very wavy,” while also showcasing how much of a fighter he is when it comes to things he wants in life and things he’s passionate about.  

“I feel like I strive to bring older elements of music back into today’s sound,” Fraze said. “I feel like a lot of today’s sound is very manufactured – that’s just my opinion. And I want to create choruses that really connect with people and music that makes you feel. I want my sound to be infectious. You don’t even have to know the language of what you’re listening to, but you can feel it. That’s the kind of passion I came with on this project. It’s very wavy and really explores a lot of love situations.” 

The first standout single from the EP is “Vibe Shit.” It’s a song that Fraze said examines the magical moment when you’re with someone for the first time and things just click perfectly. He said he told the story through the lens of a couple who are smoking pot together because he was going for a vibe he remembers vividly when experiencing a situation just like that with a former lover. Fraze said it’s his favorite song on the whole project and will perfectly prime the pump for fans in regards to the rest of the EP. 

Another standout single from the project is “I Was Your Worst,” which is about recognizing the mistakes you’ve made in a relationship and vowing to do better in the future. The hook of the song says, “You was my best and I was your worst. I move like some trash, this love got your soul on hurt.” Fraze said it’s a song that’s a little more groovy than the rest, and as such will definitely stand out as one of the premiere tracks. 

Ultimately, Fraze said he wants his music to serve as a kind of “renaissance” for the music industry. He wants to bring something new and something that adds to the evolution of music and the direction it’s heading. 

“I want to shift the game a little bit,” he said. “I take inspiration from a lot of the greats – like James Brown and Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke – and create music that is psychedelic and sets a mood. My drive is to be a pioneer in the industry and to innovate a new lane of sound.”

Lindze – On The Floor

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

Talented young artist Lindze showcases diverse range on forthcoming new album ‘Origins’ 

LIMA, OH – Despite the circumstances surrounding his death, hip-hop legend DMX has been a major inspiration for many young artists making their way through the music industry today. Chicago-based melodic rapper Lindze is no exception. Growing up in Lima, Ohio, this third-generation musician was a huge fan of rap, and for him the penultimate example of perfection was DMX. It wasn’t just his music – which was undeniably great – but also his influence on others and how he seemed to feed life into the culture of Hip-Hop.  

When all is said and done, Lindze hopes that his legacy as an artist will emulate the success of his musical icon. And he’s making major strides toward that goal with a string of new releases that have been making a major buzz all across the U.S. As he propels toward the release of his new album “Origins,” Lindze offers his fans and new audiences a taste of what’s to come with the first two singles from that project. “On The Floor” is an old-school, gritty, dance-ready track that’s just about going to the clubs and having a good time. “Drip,” on the other hand, is a lick that explores all the nuances of an individual and what it is that makes you special. Together these two singles showcase a fast-rising young artist whose natural talent has been drawing attention from industry insiders and music lovers alike for the past few years.  

Lindze grew up in a small town that was often referred to as “Little Chicago.” He was the son of a singer and the grandson of a singer, but it wasn’t until he saw his uncle rapping that he found the spark of inspiration himself. He started singing and rapping before singing and rapping became popular – and when Drake started taking off with success, young Lindze knew that he was onto something special.  

“I always felt like I was just me and I never tried to be anyone else,” he said. “I’ve always had my influences – like Drake, DMX, Twista, Scarface, Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D, Nipsey Hussle, and Too Short – but I never tried to be like them. My sound has always just been my sound, and I have always tried to sing and rap. No matter what, when people look back on my music I just want them to say that I was good, and that I was an OK guy. I was who I was, and hopefully I can have a career that’s somewhat like DMX. He was at the top of the charts in his prime and nobody stopped him. Who wouldn’t want to emulate that?” 

To reach that goal, Lindze said he’s partnering with some of the best young artists in the game today. His album is being produced by Hot Rod. He also gives shout outs to Stephen Pearson, Mr. Nelson, Kebone Broadus, Jonathan Price, Desmond Charles, and his family – all of whom have helped him along the way. He said he’s excited to reward their faith in him by attaining the success that he is through his music, and he’s excited to bring an ever-widening fanbase along for the ride as he continues to release great music.

Charm – Love Only

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

Singer/Songwriter CHARM explores many facets of love on fun and funky new single ‘Love Only’ 

CHARLOTTE, NC – Over a span of 15 years and 14 commercial songs, CHARM has graced stages of more than 20,000 people, and her reach is only increasing by the day.

Not limited to just singing, CHARM is a songwriter, arranger and producer who values timeless music. Influenced by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, CHARM believes music is transformational and engages her audience with moving and powerful vocals.

The latest release by CHARM, “Love Only,” reintroduces the artist to the world after six years of retreat due to a genetic condition. Taking no prisoners, CHARM has returned more resilient and magnetic, and is committed to sharing the message of love with the world. 

“So often in today’s world that message of love gets lost,” CHARM said. “One of the things that I really value in my personal experience – from childhood to now as an adult – is understanding of the many facets of love. Love comes in so many forms from the people you surround yourself with – family, co-workers, friends. This song basically is saying, “If you want to rock with me, it’s gonna be love. The fluff, the negativity, the criticism – all of that stuff isn’t love. And if you’re gonna rock with me it’s gotta be love. It’s not about the rings or the bling, it’s about love. When you go to the hospital and get sick, those rings and bling won’t be there to take care of you and make sure you’re ok. The people who love you will be there. If I had to choose between riches and love, I’d choose love. And I think the message of love is brought in a fun and funky way with this single.” 

CHARM believes that when most people hear the word “love” they think of the lovey-dovey feelings and emotions, but CHARM reiterates that there are many types of relationships through which love can be expressed.  

For this single, CHARM explores eros love, and describes it as “a pop song that you’re gonna rock to.” It’s fun and funky and reflects what many on the dating scene are inherently seeking: love.  

The single is the first off an EP called “The Love Project,” which should release later this year. 

All of the songs explore love or connect to love in one way or another. That includes all kinds of love, CHARM highlights, not just the “eros” passionate type of love that comes with a romantic relationship. Across seven songs CHARM said she’ll explore every facet of love there is through every type of relationship one might think about.

“Rock Mack Drops Party With A B VIdeo “

Videos

Rock Mack was born and raised in the streets of Milwaukee County. On the north side in the Ghost Town district of Center Street. For the past 10 years Rock Mack and his Against Da Grain imprint have released a library of songs and videos. Rock Mack started doing music at an early age. Finding motivation from a group called “G Force” . Made up of his cousin X and his best friend. Jay Z is one of Mack’s major influences in the music industry. What he took to heart was the independence and hustle, as well as the flash and charismatic profile. “Party wit Da B!” is based on the concept of living a playa lifestyle.” I feel like it’s too many people out here just jumping into toxic relationships for no reason. Then when they break up both parties are heartbroken on social media bashing each other”. The track was produced by Chris “Godxilla “ Taylor. He also filmed, directed, and edited the video. “Right now Mack and Godxilla are putting the finishing touches on his latest Ep “Mr. 53206” . Mack will be in Cleveland,Ohio September 18th for the Nerve Djs 18th Anniversary music conference.

Michael & The Influence Releases “Time To Ball” Video @UpTheWay Hov

Videos

Born David Michael Cheeks, Michael and The Influence grew up in Banbury, located in Warrensville Heights, a southeastern suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Raised in a drug addiction and poverty stricken home, Michael was exposed to the streetlife at an early age and helplessly watched as crack cocaine ravaged his family. His role models were his older brother and uncle who introduced him to hustling and Hip-Hop. Michael quickly fell in love with the art of music, spouting out song lyrics at just five years old. After the tragic death of his uncle, Micheal decided to make music his career choice and became a student of hip-hop culture, developing his unique talent of storytelling influenced by Nas and Jay-Z.

As he got older, his reputation quickly grew in the streets, known for his cunning freestyles and the ability to rap about his real life experiences in the druggame. Eventually, life in the fast lane caught up to Micheal causing him to be arrested and charged for drug possession. He served a ten year prison sentence but used the time to educate himself, study politics and put a business plan into place determined never to lose his freedom again. In December of 2019, Michael was released from prison and established his company, Major Influence Media. From there he launched a podcast, YouTube channel and last but not least reignited his music career.

This time, Michael and The Influence approached his dream of music with a renewed outlook on life, using his music to retell the stories of his past life in the streets, cleverly piecing together lyrics in a series of double and triple entendres on top of contemporary hip hop beats.

“I want to draw people in with my music but teach them something while they listen to it,’ says Michael.

Fall of 2021, Michael and The Influence will release the much anticipated album entitled, “Do You Believe,” which will feature the singles, “Time to Ball” and “Be With Me,” featuring Piggy.

His future goals for Major Influence Media is to become a billion-dollar multimedia conglomerate. “I want to help people bring their creative vision to life through whatever platform they want to use,” says Michael.

And to anyone interested in the music industry, he has this to say, “Do it your way. If you are satisfied with what you’ve done and how you did it, you can always live with the results.”

R Dollas – Gloves In The Summer

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

East Coast underground legend R Dollas drops hard-hitting new album ‘All 4 Tha Dolla’ 

UTICA, NY – The new album from East Coast hip-hop underground legend R Dollas is the epitome of a street album with a lot of punches. But even as such, “All 4 Tha Dolla” is an album that will invite listeners to get up on their feet and dance. The distinct 90s vibe has a new-age bop to it that creates a truly modern-day New York feeling. Produced by hip-hop legend Rick Hyde, the album is a perfect showcase of the supernatural talent of R Dollas and his ability to weave witty words with hard-hitting lyrics that are simultaneously relatable and challenging.  

“My creativity and the story I tell is what has been setting me apart for the past 15 years,” R Dollas said. “I try not to really fantasize too much and just keep everything realistic. Ultimately I want my music to be known for motivation and hopefully helping someone who understands my story and is going through the same things. They can see where I came from and where I’m trying to go and use that as motivation for themselves.” 

R Dollas said he’s been rapping since he was 8 years old, and has been recording professionally since his teenage years. His first big track was a collaboration with the notorious Big Casanova, and since then he’s released multiple mixtapes, albums, EPs and hit singles. Over the years he’s become known as a savvy artist with ambition and creativity who brings a gritty rawness to his lyrics and invites listeners to follow him on his journey.  

“Growing up in the projects, music was a way out,” R Dollas said. “When I got in trouble and put on punishment, I would write raps and watch videos all day. Now I basically live in the studio. Doing five years in prison, and then another two years, gave me more than enough to read and write about what I was going through.” 

R Dollas said he plans on releasing five videos from the album – “Everybody Gotta Eat,” “Meow,” “Gloves In The Summer,” and “2 Words.” He has also already released the debut single/video for “Groupies.”
