Lemetrius – What’s Not Love

“What’s Not To Love” About Lemetrius’ Philosophy On Faux Friends

Singing anchors Lemetrius to life. As a person, it defines every part of who he is. Even in his youth, he knew he was supposed to do two things: love God and sing. “Anything I’m going through, I know I can sing to feel better,” said Lemetrius. “No matter what happened in my life, music always found its way back to me. “I feel like it makes me who I am because I consider myself an artist before anything else.”

In December 2020, Lemetrius released an EP called Time’s Up. He wrote it after taking a sabbatical from mainstream life. The time off gave Lemetrius an opportunity to reflect on his artistic career and what it truly meant. “Other people thought I should do this or do that,” Lemetrius remembered. “I knew it was out of love, but I put a pause on my life for a while. I learned a lot, I saw a lot. I was more able to see and understand things from a different perspective.”

With that EP released, Lemetrius demands a lot of himself in 2021. One of his latest tracks, “Deeper Than The Surface,” examines flaws in human perception. Life is never exactly what it appears to be. “The older i get the more i learn that life is almost never what it looks like,” said Lemetrius. “When you look at a person, you can’t tell their story. If you didn’t know me before, you might look at me and think I don’t have ambition.” Such judgments from others propelled Lemetrius forward. “I like that you think that,” he said. “You’re going to be shocked when I make that move.”

Lemetrius’ latest track “What’s Not To Love” scrutinizes one-sided relationships. The lyrics find a protagonist exploited for what he possesses, as opposed to being valued for who he is. “I picked up on how people like to use your talent, or the benefits of knowing you as a profit for them,” Lemetrius disclosed. “I had seen it in terms of my management when i first started to do this. I also tried to pick something that I thought was relatable. I wanted something that people really could feel. I always want you to feel from jump.”

Now that his track “Drifting” has been climbing independent music charts, Lemetrius intends to capitalize. Commenting on the immediate future, he said, “I wanted to get my sound rotating. To where people were hearing it. After I got some faces looking at me and some momentum, I wanted to hype the fan base. I think my live shows are what’s really going to get people.”

Styyle – Work it 4 Me

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

Styyle Stays Workin’ On New Spring Fling Jam “Work It 4 Me”

Styyle goes an extra mile. Then another. When he’s done with that, he goes another ten miles just for good measure. And that’s all before breakfast. Styyle’s gleaned his ethic of raw perseverance from his mother. A skilled rapper herself, she inspired her son to claim what he wanted in life. “[My mom] was actually really good,” Styyle recalled. “There weren’t too many women rappers in my area where I came from. She gave me the confidence to want to step out of my element.” Once out of his element, Styyle began developing his craft as a writer. “I was writing songs in the fifth grade,” he said.

Styyle’s indomitable spirit led him to Powerseat Music Group, an independent record label owned by Curtis Maxwell II. I get that all the time from local guys,” remembered Maxwell. “They think, ‘if I sign with this label, my path is straight.’ But what they don’t realize is that we are very much in the building of our label. Styyle approached me and said, ‘I rap.’ I thought, ‘Of course.’ But he was like, ‘No, I’m serious.’ He paid for his own studio time. He set up his own session. He told me, ‘I just want you to be there.’ No one had ever approached me with that kind of intensity.”

All Love, Styyle’s latest album, finds him examining human connection from every possible angle. Contrast aggressive, cut-throat bangers like “Stay Inside” and “Race” with more emotive, personal songs like “Toxic” and “Pain.” “All of them are for love,” Styyle said. “You get angry when it comes to love. You get hurt when it comes to love. Let’s say one day I’m having a great day. Then out of nowhere, my heart is hurt. That changes how i’m feeling. Love is always a good thing. At the end of the day, it’s all love. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly.”

On his new track “Work It 4 Me,” Styyle continues to step outside of his comfort zone. “It’s the perfect spring song,” said Styyle. Curtis Maxwell emphasized that the song merges different musical approaches while also celebrating nationality and culture. “Styyle never even heard an Afrobeat song until we started working on that one,” Maxwell explained. “We want to embrace the culture we have as black Americans, but also the culture we have as African descendants. ‘Work It 4 Me’ is a great combination of those things. It hearkens to a sound that is popular in Africa. But Styyle still sounds like an American rapper. We want to acknowledge it in any way we can, without giving up our own identity.”

Fans of Styyle’s work can expect more singles from him in the coming months. Stream “Work It 4 Me” below and follow Styyle on all social media channels below.

YungChi DaBest – Money, Power, Respect (Feat. FIEND)

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

Hip-hop veteran brings upbeat summer vibe to the masses with new hit single ‘Money, Power, Respect’

CHICAGO, IL – Like many musicians of the modern era, Marcus Turner was inspired by the legendary Michael Jackson. He remembers clearly watching Michael performing alone on stage in front of a huge crowd, and he was mesmerized by how captivating of a performance the legend created. In a flash of insight, young Turner knew that’s what he wanted to do with his life, too. Fast forward a few years and Turner is living out that dream as the artist known as YungChi DaBest. And his latest single, “Money, Power, Respect” is the kind of upbeat club banger that is sure to captivate millions all around the world, just like his musical hero did.

Featuring fellow artist Fiend, the up-tempo summer anthem with an urban edge is something with which YungChi said he knows a lot of people will be able to connect. It’s a fun song with such a nice bounce to it that he said it will be impossible to listen to and not want to move. That’s what makes it so ready-made for the clubs, though it’s also a great song for neighborhood barbecues or just going out for a drive.

This is just the latest hit from an artist who has been creating a buzz in the music industry for a little more than a decade. He’s a true artist, embracing multiple different genres and fusing them together into truly original sounds and styles.

“My sound is ridiculous,” he said. “There’s no telling how I’m gonna come. I’m versatile with it. I don’t ever stick to one style. I might have a Chicago rap with a tongue twister, or I might go to Atlanta and go South with it. I like melodies and making good-sounding songs. I just love making music.”

YungChi grew up on the west side of Chicago in the Rockwell Garden projects. He started writing and recording at the age of 12, and started making beats at age 16. That’s when he started doing local shows and writing a lot of new songs. In the years since he has started two companies – 1984 Beats By YungChi and 1984 Entertainment – and he’s had the opportunity to collaborate with some big names in the business, such as Psyde Wynder of the legendary Chicago rap group Psycho Drama, and Afton Shows.

Even with all of his success, however, YungChi has remained grounded and continues to emphasize lyrics with content in his music. He wants to create songs that connect with listeners on a deeper level while also giving them something pleasing to listen to. But if he had to choose between the two, he would hope that listeners really take something meaningful away from his songwriting.

“I don’t care if you don’t bounce around and dance to my music,” he said. “I want you to listen and get something out of it. I speak for the struggle. When you get through listening to my music, I hope there was something that I said that really, really touched you.”

Following “Money, Power, Respect,” YungChi said he’s working on another single called “Let Us Be Great,” which should drop this summer. He’s also in the early stages of developing an album that he said will bring “real rap back to the industry.”

YoFiji – Empire

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

YoFiji artist offers yin-and-yang perspective of perfection and organic creation on new EP ‘Knucklehead II: Lotta Vibes’

DALLAS, TX – When you hear of an artist who previously went by the name Genius, you would expect that his music would be elevated above anything else you’ve ever heard. And it’s true that this 20-year-old from the Deep South has already made a name for himself as a perfecter of his craft. He cares about the composition of his work and takes extra time to make sure every painstaking detail is complete before releasing his music to the world. But he’s also an artist who loves to explore the imbalance and imperfections of the world – something he represents through his childhood nickname Knucklehead. His music, therefore – now released under the stage name YoFiji – becomes a kind of yin-and-hang of his life, vacillating between high-class excellence and the more organic raw creations of in-the-moment art.

This juxtaposition of sound and style comes to the forefront on his latest EP, “Knucklehead II: Lotta Vibes.” It’s a project that’s currently available across all streaming platforms, and which has been gaining him some traction among an ever-growing group of fans throughout the U.S.

His standout single is “Empire,” which he describes as one of those organically written songs that just pours out of him as soon as he hears a good beat. It’s a process he likes to do often – putting on a beat and freestyling or writing whatever comes to mind without any real inspiration behind it. Through that process he said listeners get the most raw and real version of him – both as an individual and as an artist.

“It’s just kind of me,” he said. “I just go off the top of my head without any intention of having a story or anything like that. This beat was kind of upbeat and fast and it gave me a feeling of pressure. I just write how listening to the beat makes me feel. I usually come up with the hook first, and if I can find some way to relate the hook to my life then I try to include that.”

YoFiji said he has always liked listening to music, but it wasn’t until a friend introduced him to the production and recording process a couple of years ago that he really became interested in creating songs of his own. When some of his friends heard his first creations, they were impressed and encouraged him to continue making music. He hasn’t looked back since, and said he hopes people will come to appreciate just how much attention he pays to the craft of making music.

“I want to be known for the composition of what I create,” he said. “Not exactly for the song or the lyrics, but for the whole composition. The craft of it. All the elements put together and what that makes. I’m not much different than everybody else out there, but I do work hard at really perfecting the entire composition of whatever I’m creating.”

YoFiji said he has more music on the way later this year, and is excited for fans to check out his current EP. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Randy Hannah – The Only 1

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.

J.Adams – Paris

Smooth vocals from R&B artist J Adams take center stage on new single ‘Paris’

PRATTVILLE, AL – A new slow jam featuring the smooth falsetto stylings of Southern R&B artist Jacolby Adams has hit the airwaves and is gaining major buzz from fans all over the world. “Paris” is a groovy R&B classic set against swinging 808s that perfectly features the sultry vocals of this fast-rising artist from Alabama. His voice is hypnotic and the rhythm lulls the listener in and takes them on a sexy journey that is undeniable.

That’s the kind of music J Adams makes, and it’s the signature style he’s become known for over the years. After years honing his craft and releasing singles to fans for the past decade, J Adams found himself facing 2020 with a lot of tough choices. As he used music to try to navigate his various feelings of confusion and uncertainty, he discovered a desire to reinvent himself and to make commitments that would last the rest of his life. “Paris” is one of the singles that was born from that process.

“At the end of last year I had a transition within myself,” he said. “I wanted to start off with a clean slate. I started thinking about what I wanted as a man and what I wanted in my relationships. This song is a vision of what a man expects from himself as he tries to build a family. It’s about a man giving his wife everything he desires for her. It’s about self-reflection and asking myself, ‘As a man, what am I really trying to accomplish?’ Paris is a place connected with love, and I wanted to tie that whole concept together. There’s a line in the song that says, ‘We’ll use the language of love together in Paris. See us together in Paris.’ That’s basically how it all comes together.”

Originally from historic Selma, Alabama, J Adams currently works out of a home studio called Evan’s Room in Prattville, Alabama. His passion in music started at a young age while riding in the car and hearing timeless songs from the likes of Donell Jones and Joe. His musical ability in production, singing, songwriting and engineering are all self-taught from videos, practical application, forums and trial-and-error. He tends to focus on topics of relationships and the trials of self-realization. His two EPs “Behind Closed Doors” and “Mood AF” have gained him some attention in recent years, and with the release of “Paris” he’s set to explode onto the international scene.

“I want my music to be a form of healing,” he said. “It should be something to help people through difficult situations. I believe there’s a point in every person’s life when they have to try to figure out if what they’re feeling is unique to them or if there are others in the world who feel that way. Music helped encourage me through that time in my life, and that’s what helps me to be more confident and vulnerable in my songs. Some of my messages need to be for other people. Creating art is something that soothes me, and I hope my music can be soothing for others, as well.”

Maddi Madd – On Read

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

MADDI MADD returns to über-successful career with new hit single ‘On Read’

AKRON, OH – MADDI MADD is highly regarded as one of the top emcees in all of the Midwest. Hailing from the same hometown and NBA legend Lebron James, this internationally known juggernaut of hip-hop delivers superior metaphors laced with powered street anthems and lyrical content that’s proven time and time again to both inspire and challenge listeners of all ages and demographics. He has been shot but not stopped, imprisoned for his mission, surveilled and trailed, and he has a story that very few have lived to tell.

His latest hit is a song called “On Read,” which is set to drop across all streaming platforms on April 9. It’s the first single off his forthcoming album “Success 2,” which should be released this June. Inspired by an interaction with legendary artist Rihanna (displayed on the cover art for his song), the single is a shout out to all the women of the world who don’t give good guys a chance.

“I sent (Rihanna) a DM and she looked at it and kept it pushing,” MADDI said with a laugh. “She left me on read. There are a lot of women out there we feel like we’d be a good match with and some aren’t taking that chance. They’re looking at the messages and not responding to them. I’m not one of those guys you shouldn’t respond to. You should respond. I have your best interest at heart. I’m not a weirdo just sending you random messages.”

As the first single off “Success 2,” MADDI said “On Read” is the perfect song to introduce a project that will touch on a little bit of everything. Though he’s been in the music industry for more than a decade, he had to take a bit of a hiatus due to circumstances beyond his control. He also lost more than $1 million of money invested into his craft and his own label, Blimpcity Records, due to a federal case that targeted people close to him. In his words, he was “too close to the fire not to get burned.” Those experiences put him in a different mindframe, he said, and directly led to the music he created on “Success 2.”

“I want to do music the way I want to do music,” he said. “Those experiences dampened the way I created music, and I didn’t like that I couldn’t execute my business to the fullest degree. Earlier in my career I had a lot of success. The first project I ever sold was 200,000-plus. I collaborated with a plethora of artists – Jodeci, Flo-Rida, Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs N Harmony, Rah Digga, The Outsidaz, C-Bo … I was awarded with two five-time multi-platinum plaques for Flo-Rida’s ‘Whistle.’ But it’s been a long, hard road since then. I had to rediscover my fanbase, and with this new project I want people to understand that these are lyrics and this is a real album. It’s not just a bunch of singles slapped together. The subject matter all comes together as one movement. It’s an album full of substance. I’m a lyricist and a storyteller, and I focus on the artform. I’m not your everyday rapper. I’m someone who has depth to his lyrics. I want to bring that back to music, and I want this album to be something people can play 25 years from now.”

“On Read” will be available to stream across all digital platforms starting April 9. MADDI MADD will also be starting in a hip-hop horror film called “Rhyme Slaya” due to be released April 27. To listen to MADDI MADD’s music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Yevae – Free Me

International sensation Yevae tackles tough topics with catchy Electro-Pop grooves

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Electronic-tinged Jazz and Blues riffs with deeply meaningful lyrics and an attractive international sound have been making their way to the world from Yevae for years. The Ukrainian-American singer blends an eclectic mix of mesmerizing vocals, pulsing electronic rhythms and memorable melodies with a message of uplifting positivity. And her latest music is created with a purpose of empowering and helping everyone to realize their strengths, to gain confidence, and to find a sense of independence through music.

Yevae’s nine-song album, “Unchained” is slated to drop later this year, but five songs from the project have already been released. And now a sixth song, “Free Me,” is coming to the world. With its release, this Electro-Pop artist shows how she’s using her music to start a conversation about mental health issues, suicide prevention, social justice and women’s rights. She has a new way of raising uncomfortable topics and delivering heavy messages with the help of modern dance music. Music lovers and Electronic Dance fans will definitely find her sound and style attractive and want to dive more deeply into her records.

“I have a deep and theatrical sound with an electronic mix of music and beats that fuses in the Jazz and Blues techniques of my voice,” Yevae said. “I really love Jazz and Blues, but I also really love Electronic music and have wanted to mix those things together for years. Also, all of the lyrics I write actually have meaning. I get so sad when listening to songs on the radio today that make the English language sound very poor. That’s influencing the masses in negative ways. I want to elevate that and put some meaning behind the words I’m choosing to use. With ‘Free Me’, I’m talking about a girl who understands she has been in a dysfunctional relationship for quite a while, and when she realizes how much the relationship has drained her – physically and mentally – she decides it’s time to get away from it. I want it to be a song that serves as a message to other people who might be going through something like that. I want all of my music to be about empowering people. No matter what you’re going through at the moment, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pushing. It’s OK to feel whatever you’re feeling right now, but have hope.”

Born and raised in Ukraine, Yevae moved to the U.S. as a young adult. She diligently built a career in the tech industry, but after a major life changing event in 2019 she decided to follow her heart and pursue her passion for music. Over the past two years, she’s developed her signature style while building an international audience of fans that are eager for more and more music from her. In the coming months, she plans to release another song from her upcoming album called “Breathe,” which continues the conversation of mental health.

Ain’t Never Fold – Dirt On My Name

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

ANF set to launch onto the international market with powerful new album ‘Who Am I’

Anthony Naylor is an artist who is never gonna quit. It’s been his life motto for as long as he can remember, and it’s the reason he goes by the stage name ANF, which stands for “Ain’t Never Fold.” That go-get-em attitude has helped propel him as a recording artists over the past few years, and it’s the thing that has made him stand out among a crowded marketplace.

ANF is set to become an international influencer whose music gets played in countries all over the world.

Known for his consistent creative styles, ANF’s latest project has 12 tracks that explore his love life, his dreams, and his navigation through different lifestyles that come from success in the industry. “Who Am I” is an appropriately named album in that anyone who listens to the project will definitely found out who ANF is. It’s an introduction of what he’s about to bring to the music game, and it’s a demonstration of his mastery across multiple sounds and styles.

“I’ve got a unique flow,” he said. “I’m not doing all the same shit every other rapper out there is doing today. On this project I’ve got some slow music and some motivational music – all types of stuff. I rap and I sing and I just have a bunch of different styles that are very creative.”

The standout track from the album is “Dirt On My Name,” which features the notorious rapper Rich Homie Quan. It’s the third track on the album and it describes life in ANF’s hometown of Frederick, Maryland. The song talks about the problems he had while growing up there, and how success brought a whole new set of problems.

“It’s about old friends and family and how when I started getting bigger people back home wanted to start hating,” ANF said. “It’s just one of many hits on this album. I think the whole tape is a bunch of radio-ready hits. I’m coming from a place where people don’t really make it out or do this type of thing, and this album shows how I’m trying to make it. I got some vibe music up in there. Some stuff to make you feel good. Some turn up music. At the end of the day I want to be known for creating hit-makers. I make real, organic, soulful, timeless music.”
