Rapper Lord Divine offers aggressive street anthem with new single ‘Watcha Gon Do’ 

ATLANTA, GA – A new street anthem from Atlanta-based rapper Lord Divine is here to put snitches on notice that they better watch their backs. “Watcha Gon Do” is an upbeat jam that will get people hyped, whether they’re in the clubs or just hanging with friends. It’s aggressive and filled with energy that’s sure to get people turnt, which is exactly what Lord Divine was going for when he created the hit single. 

“It’s a song that says, ‘You better watch your mouth when you talk to me,’” Lord Divine said. “I’m on another level that you can’t see. We don’t f*ck around! I will tie you up and lay you down if you don’t watch yourself. So whatcha gon do?” 

Originally from New York, this fast-rising rapper has a distinct accent and attitude that comes with his years growing up in The Bronx. Though he still reps New York, he’s been pursuing his career as a recording artist full-time in Atlanta for the past few years. And it’s in Atlanta that he’s discovered his signature sound and style. 

“I’m talking about real-life situations in my music,” he said. “I’m dropping real bars with real situations. I’m in your face. A lot of people compare me to 50 Cent or DMX. I bring storytelling that’s honest and brash and has that aggressive vibe. But the ladies also like what I bring. I’m keeping it street, but I’m making it accessible to anybody.” 

Lord Divine said he first started writing rhymes while he was serving time in prison. He was charged with 15-years-to-life on a drug charge, and during his time inside he became known as the guy who could write really good letters. The other inmates would come to him asking for letters to their wives or lovers, with clever poems or thoughtful quips to help their relationships along, or even entice those women to make regular visits.  

“My penmanship was really good, and one of the dudes saw the rhymes in my letters and was like, ‘This is hot right here! You should be a rapper,’” Lord Divine said. “I didn’t think much of it at first, but then I had one of my little homies show me how to count bars and when I got that down pat, I had 8 million stories to tell. It was non-stop from there. That’s the biggest thing people can expect from me as an artist – stories. Some will make you laugh. Some will make you cry. It’s a roller-coaster with me. But I have a lot of things to talk about, and I know I’m gonna be an icon in the game because of what I’m bringing. My sound is totally different than what’s in the industry right now. I just feel like I’m the bridge between the old and the young. I’m that voice to bring everything together, and I definitely will be one of the greats.”

Traakoo ‘The Famous Gasser’ puts turnt up sound to the test with new single ‘Bout Time’ 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Traakoo (pronounced “TRAY-Ko”), born Tyshawn Tray-vion Edwards, is not your typical artist. Born and raised in several different parts of Los Angeles County throughout his younger years, the 20-year-old emcee has developed a level of talent that far surpasses his age. His West Coast roots developed a deep appreciation for the LA culture, and growing up he bumped artists such as Snoop Dogg, E-40, and The Game. But his knowledge of the hip-hop industry also gave him a deep appreciation of East Coast rappers such as Jay-Z and 50 Cent. It helps that his uncles provided strong figures in his musical life and upbringing, introducing a young Traakoo to these artists’ music as well as sharing their own raps with him. This jump-started Traakoo’s passion, and at just 6 years old he began picking up a mic and reciting lyrics that were written for him. He hasn’t looked back since, leading him to partner with his uncle to form STACK Entertainment Group, where he released his first EP “The Famous Gasser EP.” Releasing music professionally over the past six years has led to Traakoo branching off with his own Label called GASSER Entertainment, as well as his own clothing merch store. 

But even with that rich background and business progression, Traakoo feels like he hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves. At such a young age he’s still a veteran of the industry and has the kind of high-quality sound that should stand out from a crowd. And so with his latest single released on his new label, “Bout Time,” he’s sending a message to the world that he’s an artist and boss who demands attention. 

“I’ve been rapping since I was 9 and I’ve been good at it for a long time,” Traakoo said. “I’ve been building a brand and a name, but people have been throwing dirt on my name. So this song is basically about my respect. I’ve been doing this for a long time and you need to give me respect.” 

More than anything, Traakoo said he labels himself as a Gasser – “The Famous Gasser,” to be more precise. Any song he lays vocals on, he gasses it. One of the sayings he’s become known for, and shows up in all of his songs, is “I’m Finna’ Gas This Bitch, Aye!” He’s an artist who owns this unique niche within the hip-hop genre that is all about gassin’. Essentially, he’s created a sound and style that no one else is doing the way he does it. He’s even gone so far as to make the gas emoji the official symbol of his brand, and you can see that symbol in almost all of his music videos and featured on a lot of the clothes and jewelry he wears on a daily basis. 

“I make turnt up music,” he said. “I make aggressive music. I’m gassin’. When you turn me on you’ll know I’m that famous gasser who is gonna get you pumped up and get you lit. If you’re at a party and it’s boring, put my music on and it’s gonna get you jumpin.” 

To further showcase this style, Traakoo says he plans to release another single called “Gas A Lot” within the next month to serve as the perfect summer song. With diverse styles, Traakoo has also had success with singles like “Dollar $ign” and “AirBNB.” He’s also working on an EP set to drop later this year called “Something for the Ladies.” Traakoo is definitely someone you want to keep your eyes and ears on.

Baby Chuckii inspires others through transparent truth on hot new single ‘Family’ 

ATLANTA, GA – Claudel Fabien has never had the kind of family life that most would call ideal. At age 13 his mother passed away, and on the day of her funeral his dad kicked him out of the house. He remained homeless for a little more than a year before his best friend took him in. He has two sisters and a brother who don’t talk to him, and on the random times he would interact with his father in his teenager years it was contentious, at best. Essentially, he grew up without a family and had to learn to fend for himself and do whatever he had to do to survive.  

That’s the story he weaves with clever-but-aggressive wordplay on his latest single “Family,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. Operating under the stage name Baby Chuckii – a name given to him in elementary school when he was dared by another student to stab someone with a pencil … and he did – this up-and-coming Southern rapper has a pocket full of stories and a determination to succeed in the industry. With those two things combined, he’s on a mission to make music that inspires other people to push through any hardship to achieve the dreams they have for themselves. 

“Everybody has a story,” Baby Chuckii said. “Everybody came from somewhere and has their story to tell. What sets me apart is that I can’t rap about nothing else but that. Other rappers usually tell their stories and then drift off into other realms of rap. I can’t do that because there’s just too much of a story to tell. This first song, ‘Family,’ is just the tip of the iceberg for me. It’s the beginning of what happened with me in life, and it’s all truth.” 

Inspired by artists like Lil Baby, Rod Wave, and NBA YoungBoy, Baby Chuckii has developed a sound and style that is all his own. He has a distinct cadence, and the raw edge of his delivery definitely captures the tension that permeates his life while also building energy from which listeners all over the world can draw. But more than anything, he makes music that shares raw, unaltered truth. 

“I really want people to hear it and know that the struggle is not everlasting,” he said. “That’s why my label is called Mind Over Matter. I came from the deepest part of hell and I made it out. I want everyone to know that no matter what the issue is or problem is, it’s not forever. The storm comes and then the sun comes back out. At one point in my life I thought it was over. People thought I would die before I turned 21, or end up in prison. Thank God those things didn’t happen to me. And I want people to see my story and to know that no matter the odds that are stacked up against you, there’s nothing out of your control to change your circumstances.” 

In addition to “Family,” Baby Chuckii said he has another single called “On My Block” that should drop later this summer. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

 The Artist 9 Lifts Our Collective Spirit With New Single “Smile” 

With his bright, upbeat new single, The Artist 9 makes us all “Smile.” The song’s smooth percussion helps ring in the spring season. As COVID restrictions come down, “Smile” serves as a welcome transition back to the outside world. “And I said hey,” sings the Artist 9. “Them problems gon go away/I promise girl it’s okay/I wanna see you smile.”  

But The Artist 9 has many more cards in his hands. He expressed pride in another new track, “My Boo.” “That was really catchy,” said The Artist 9. “It’s got a fast-paced beat to it, and it has a different sound to it. It’s a good song for people to drive and listen to. All good energy.”  

The Artist 9’s manager and business partner, Lavale Byrd, emphasized his passion for “My Boo.” “That track is hot,” said Lavale. “It’s gonna be a banger. The sound is pure originality. There’s no Autotune on it or anything like that. ‘Smile’ is the music that a lot of audiences are looking for.”  

The Artist 9 refuses to be classified or have his craft isolated within a single genre. “The Artist 9 doesn’t make trap music because he’s not a trap guy,” Lavale explained. “He’s a college kid. We don’t have time for flashy. We’re trying to open up an avenue for people. Whether there’s somebody that’s 65 or 15, we want them to hear it and understand it.”  

Another important element of The Artist 9’s music is his willingness to look closely at tragedy. 9’s song “See Me Blow” mourns the loss of a dear friend who passed too early. “His name was Derek,” remembered The Artist 9. “He was killed in a motorcycle accident a couple of years back. It didn’t just affect me. It affected everyone around me.” “See Me Blow” finds The Artist 9 reflecting on the fragility of life. “I stay alert,” he explained. “I stay watching around.”  

Fans of The Artist 9’s work should pay attention. He gave some details of his upcoming album release. “My World will be the name of the next project to drop,” said The Artist 9. “It’s just gonna be me giving you all these different sides, or places that I’m in when I made these songs. That’s what I want to go for as an artist.”  

Committed to diversifying his sound, The Artist 9 assured fans that they should never expect him to be comfortable with a single musical style. “You’re never going to get one type of music from me,” vowed The Artist 9. “Because I feel like I’m not one type of person. I feel like everybody has moments where they want to open up. Moments when they want to be hype. So I speak for the unspoken.”   

The Artist 9’s music comes courtesy of Lavale Byrd and Kloud 9 Records, an independent record label located in northern Alabama. “The Artist 9 will be the first mainstream artist to come out of this area,” proclaimed Lavale. “We stay humble, we stay focused. And we make dreams a reality.”

Club-ready dance vibe ‘Shake That’ drops just in time for the summer from hip-hop veteran Big-T The Mayor 

ATLANTA, GA – Big-T The Mayor is a name that’s been familiar to music industry insiders for many years, but which many music lovers haven’t heard. He’s one of the best veterans of the game, working with other notorious artists on smash hits that peaked at No 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified two-times platinum. He’s been a hype man for the County Boyz, and performed many live shows with them before branching off on his own to create his label 3 Way Entertainment South. It’s a label that embraces the three things he said every good artist needs to make it in this industry: money, power and respect. Those three things are always represented through his music, and the music of the artists he has signed to the label.  

Today Big-T The Mayor continues to make amazing music, and his most recent single “Shake That” is the perfect song for women to dance to this summer. The bass-driven club vibe features Atlanta legend Raheem The Dream, and is one of those songs that doesn’t have any kind of agenda other than to give people a good time.  

“A lot of times my lyrics have something deeper to talk about, but I’m also just somebody cool who can give you a good time,” Big-T said. “I just want my music to stand out above others. I want people to appreciate the good music and the hard-driving bass. It’s something you can relate to, but it’s also something you can just put the top back on your car and ride to. Just drink the drink and see what you can see and have some good times.” 

Most of Big T’s career has been about setting himself apart from the rest of the crowd. As he branched off from the County Boyz, he set out to follow a similar path Luther Cambell took when he first emerged on the scene. With fast-paced, bass-driven 808s and raw, sexually explicit lyrics, he set his mark in the Atlanta area and 3 Way Entertainment South started making a name for itself. Today the label represents two artists. Big-T The Mayor is currently in the studio working with multi-platinum producer Phenk Dawg, who produced the song “A BayBay for Hurucain Chris,” and “Do the Ratchet” by Boosie.  

Big-T said he has a bigger project planned for later this year that he knows fans will be excited about, and that he’s looking forward to introducing 3 Way Entertainment South’s talent to the masses.
