Melodic, hypnotic track showcases Fokie Dope’s signature Boom Trap style 

CHARLOTTE, NC – The King of Boom Trap has made yet another major splash on the entertainment industry with his latest hit single “Money, Women, and B.I.” Currently available across all streaming platforms, this single is a hybrid of a few styles, but with Fokie Dope’s signature sound that combines good flow with impressive lyricism and a bouncy, lively sound that’s sure to get people moving.  

“My music is a hybrid between boom-bap and trap music, with jazz overtones,” Fokie Dope said. “A lot of my music sounds jazzy and synth-heavy, and some of it has R&B elements in it with different kinds of instrumentation. But it always has an energy to it, and this song is no exception. It’s easy on the ears and easily accessible to a large audience. The core of the song is about residual trauma from growing up in bad places and the damage that does to your psyche. But it’s also about how anyone might have to hustle their way out of bad situations, no matter where they are in life. It’s melodic and hypnotic and anyone who listens to it will get entranced in the lyrics and pick up on the message I’m trying to send.” 

Fokie Dope is an American rapper, songwriter, musician, record producer and entrepreneur who originally hails from Detroit, Michigan. Bred on the streets and brought up in the rugged neighborhoods of that violent city, Fokie Dope developed the hustle mentality and relentless grit that places his abilities and talent at the forefront of everything he crates. Combining syncing elements of sounds for more than 15 years, Fokie Dope has created a distinctive bassline he’s named Boom Trap.  

That signature sound accompanies a signature style that is hard to ignore. Even in the midst of a crowded entertainment industry, Fokie Dope stands out. With such a love for fashion, Fokie Dope’s style is what he jokingly considers “good to be a big dude, love for wrestling, rolled blunts, beautiful women in underwear, and philanthropic efforts.” 

“I want my music and my persona to be motivational,” he said. “I want my music to be a hustler’s soundtrack – not just illegal hustlers, but anyone who’s trying to find their way out through shit. I want to inspire them to use what they’ve learned along the way to be creative. And I want to speak for those who don’t have a voice. I know I can use what I have learned to influence other people.”

Randy Hannah ­- Hands of Time

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

Professional balladeer Randy explores lost love with acoustic piano ballad ‘Hands of Time’ 

ROCHESTER, NY – Music has a power to bring people together – whether for the first time, or through reuniting people who have been apart. This is especially true of love songs, and for New York based balladeer Randy, his love ballad “Hands of Time” – set to be released across all streaming platforms this June – is the kind of song that can lead to healing for a lot of people around the world.  

The acoustic piano ballad from this seasoned songwriter and professional musician is told from the point of view of a man who is trying to save his relationship with the woman that he loves. After a bad breakup, she’s left him and he is distraught. He cries himself to sleep because he’s so sorrowful, and he goes into a dream that Randy describes as an almost Wizard of Oz type environment. In this dream the man asks the hands of time to rewind and take him back to a place when the woman was his and things were good between them.  

“He believes he can get to the hands of time and convince them to rewind on his behalf,” Randy said. “It’s a forbidden type of thing, almost – but he’s desperate. I’m a balladeer, and this definitely falls into that category. That’s my thing. I don’t believe love or romance is dead. What you have in today’s market is a lot of sex – too many artists tend to get right down to the sex, and the era I came from the romance came before the sex. You wanted to woo a woman into the bed. That’s the gist of my approach musically. I don’t believe chivalry is dead.” 

Randy has always been that kind of a songwriter and performer. As a child growing up in the 1980s, he studied a lot of the R&B legends of the day – from Baby Face to Michael Jackson to the Isley Brothers and especially Marvin Gaye. He dug deep into the music, and it wasn’t long before he started writing poems to match the songs he was playing on the piano. And along the way he found a purpose and a motivation to the music he was creating. 

“I want to be known for bringing people back together,” he said. “Music is a way to open the door. It’s something that people can use to rekindle their love, or find love for the first time if they’re looking for it.” 

Randy said “Hands of time” is part of a bigger album that he plans to release later this year. Before that, however, he’s planning to release another single called “Do All Lives Matter” sometime in mid-June.

Carlito Black releases the visual to his Latest Banga “Kawhi”

Carlito Black, born DeCarlo Serrano, is an exceptional lyricist with an aggressive delivery. He was born and raised in Carol City -an impoverished northern suburb of Miami, Florida -also known as Murda Gardens. The Southern lyricist operates independently and self-funded under his imprint, Blueprint Music Group. Similar to Nipsey Hussle and Crenshaw, He is incorporating his hood into a diverse marketing strategy. His 10-year scenic route to popularity has chiseled him into a polished artist, songwriter, producer, and business-savvy hustler. Also known as “Baby Jefe,” Carlito’s self-proclaimed title seems to be the theme of his strategic fearlessness. His rogue self-made mogul approach to the industry takes ownership of his music independence.

Carlito Black infuses gritty conscientious lyrics into an energetic trap nostalgia with distinctive signature sounds. His content reflects the mind of an unorthodox critical thinker with exceptional penmanship. Representing his Jamaican roots and Dominican republican bloodline, Carlito offers dynamic vocals laced with random Spanglish lingo and patois accents. Despite the overwhelming lack of support from the 305 veterans, Dade County’s black sheep and owner of B.P.M.G. Blueprint Music Group is the most slept on artist in Hip-Hop! Be sure to connect with Carlito Black on all social media and digital music platforms.

<b><span data-contrast=”auto”>Player vibe takes center stage with smooth new album from Georgia artist Boss Man</span></b><span data-ccp-props=”{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>EFFINGHAM COUNTY, GA – Boss Man is a new artist from Effingham County, Georgia whose sound is like no other you’ve heard before. He’s bringing a new look and style to the music business, and his diverse and unique taste showcases an artist that can be a laid-back player who transforms into an aggressive hip-hop rapper. That signature style takes center stage on his new EP “Players Club,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. </span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>Not your typical R&amp;B groove, “Players Club” is more of a swaggy offering for the ladies that comes hard and aggressive on some songs, but is more smooth and R&amp;B-driven in ways that are perfect for the clubs. The standout single is a track called “Pop It,” featuring fellow Southern artist Wellput Will. It’s a song that Boss Man said is perfect for getting girls on the dance floor and giving them something encouraging to feel good about themselves.</span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>“It’s all about poppin that booty,” Boss Man said. “It’s about turning up in the club and feeling good. Will was one of the first artists I met when I came to Atlanta, and he’s been teaching me a few things about performing and making things upbeat. I took his info and rolled with it, and I told him when I made my first EP I was gonna put him on it. He did the feature in life five minutes and it was perfect. I’m really proud of this song because it helps women to feel good about themselves all while having a good time.”</span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>Even though he’s from a small town like Effingham County, Boss Man has proven that he can compete with the biggest of the biggest. He’s opened for legends like Juvenile, and when he did so he had the building on fire! He’s been making big moves since his debut mixtape “Sleeping Giant,” and now the giant has awoken and ready to show the whole world what he’s capable of. And it’s not just music that showcases that originality. He also has a Boss Man clothing line that is making its way around the world and starting to gain traction and popularity. </span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>

<span data-contrast=”auto”>“Everything I do is about uplifting others, including my clothing brand,” he said. “I don’t want to push negativity. I can get through some of the gristle when I rap about my life, but I’m not making murder music or trap music – at least not in the traditional sense. I’m making music to make you feel good about yourself. I’ve got my own flow, my own way, and my own style, and everything I do is about encouraging you to be the boss of your own style, too.”</span><span data-ccp-props=”{}”> </span>
