Rose Gold Rackz – We Win

Bay Area hooks meet Midwest vibes on new single from Rose Gold Rackz 

COLUMBUS, OH – While many people have had major struggles over the past year during the global pandemic, some people have taken advantage of opportunities that have presented themselves during this crazy time. Rose Gold Rackz from Columbus, Ohio, is one such opportunistic entrepreneur. Instead of lamenting his losses, this enterprising artist decided to start a handful of new endeavors. He opened a smoke shop – starting the business from the ground up with nothing – and turned it into a $100,000 profit by the end of the year. He also dove headfirst into creating new music, with successful singles that have helped him grow an ever-widening fanbase over the past year. He’s celebrating that success with a new single called “We Win,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms.  

“It’s a song that’s all about celebrating success,” Rose Gold said. “Things are starting to look up for a lot of people and it’s time to celebrate. This song has a great Bay Area sound infused with Midwest roots. I grew up with that Bay Area West Coast sound, but I’ve adapted it and took my own slang and my own voice to it, with my own creative ad-libs and terminology. People can see that on this song, and they’ll see how I express myself through music is different than anyone else out there.” 

Rose Gold said he’s dedicated to bringing back bars and “real rap” to the culture of hip-hop. He’s been performing for more than 20 years, opening for artists such as Styles P, Kevin Gates, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Camron, The Jacka, Berner, Young Guns, Oschino & Sparks, and more. He has also been a part of the Big Heff Industry Tour in the Midwest and has performed in Tampa Mystics’ Industry’s Most Wanted tour, as well. 

Since Rose Gold was a product of the 80s and 90s, his first major influences were Sugar Hill Gang, Kurtis Blow, and Run DMC. As he got older, he grew toward more of a West Coast influence from artists such as E-40, Too Short, NWA and various other artists from the Sacramento area. But coming from the heart of the Midwest, his style is different than any of those legends with whom he grew up. Working with producers such as The Local Astronauts, Shawty Fresh, D Ruff on the Beat, and Akrite on The Track, has given him a diverse sound and style that is highly incomparable.  

“I’m a product of the 80s and 90s and I’m trying to bring that feeling back,” he said. “I want bars and real hustle music back on the table.” 

He’s expanded that influence to include multiple other entrepreneurial endeavors, including his label Ganjapreneur Music, which includes a clothing line and will soon begin offering Ganja-infused products like drinks and edibles. Rose Gold is also working on more music and plans to release a new single called “All She Want is Bandz” in mid-July, featuring female artist Miss Raindrop. He also has an album in development in conjunction with The Local Astronauts that should release later this year.

DoubleJae – All a Dream

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

Old-school hip-hop meets modern-day style on new music from industry veteran DoubleJae  

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Junior Anthony Jackson – better known by his stage name DoubleJae – has come a long way since growing up rubbing shoulders with hip-hop legend Biggie Smalls. Growing up in New York, the young man was surrounded by music born from the streets, and he and Biggie would dream together about where they might go when they were older and successful with their music. Jackson got in trouble with the law and spent some years in prison, during which time Biggie ended up blowing up with success before being murdered. By the time DoubleJae was released, biggie was gone and many of the other artists he’d worked with in his youth had gone on to bigger and better things. 

That hasn’t stopped this veteran artist from pursuing his dream. Over the past 15 years, DoubleJae has continued to make hits with his unique voice and flow. He still showcases a mastery of the old-school style of hip-hop made famous in the late 1990s, but today he combines that with a twist of modern influences for a sound that is equal parts nostalgic and progressive.  

That sound takes center stage on his latest single “All A Dream,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. He describes the song as a dream-like expression of memories from his time as a youth, hustling on the streets in between freestyling on street corners with Biggie.  

“It’s a tribute to him and to hip-hop in general, and the way hip-hop was back then,” he said. “When you’re an artist you keep dreaming in your heart. I’m an artist. I had a dream one night that I was with Biggie when we were young again, back the way it was, and we just went from one stream to the next with pure hip-hop. The song is like that – it bounces all over the place in the best kind of way.” 

As DoubleJae has progressed throughout his career, he’s had the opportunity to work with some of the best in the game. His early career developed under the tutelage of The Force MGs, and he collaborated with artists like Trickle and ACM, the latter of which continues to work with him today as his producer. ACM is perhaps best-known for his hit project “The Professional,” which was also released while DoubleJae was in prison in the early 2000s.  

Today DoubleJae boasts a sound and style that is different from anyone else out there. His signature flow is good, fun, old-fashioned hip-hop. And the messages in his lyrics explore topics far different than most other hip-hop music today. 

“I’m not talking about guns and drugs and everything glorifying that,” he said. “It’s OG rap. I like the rap that young kids do today, but my stuff is grown and sexy. It’s mature rap. It’s aged like fine wine.” 

DoubleJae said he’ll continue to showcase that signature style on his forthcoming ablum “The Late Bloomer,” which is set to release later this year.

OFNO Quan – Ain’t The Same

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Rapper pours out heart on the mic with poignant new single ‘Ain’t The Same’ 

DALLAS, TX – Pain and remembrance reverberates through the moody, nostalgic vibes of the new single from Dallas-based artist OFNO Quan. “Ain’t The Same” is a poignant song that perfectly captures the longing for better days that often comes during moments of regret, or in Quan’s case, a major change. 

Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, Quan and his family moved to Dallas during his 11th grade year of high school for a better environment and a fresh start. It’s hard to move to a completely new place a

“I knew that we moved to get a better education and start a better life, but when I moved it didn’t feel like I was home,” Quan said. “I got in trouble, and it was during that time that I started taking music more seriously. I had never rapped at the time, but I went to the studio with my homeboy all the time and I had written poems before, though I never thought they were good. But sometimes I would practice in the studio, and he motivated me to really push myself. He told me I was good and kept telling me I had talent people needed to see.” 

Around this same time, Quan’s younger sister was exploring her own creative artistic expression by starting a new clothing line. Quan remembers one evening during the summer sitting with his sister, thinking of ideas and bouncing business names off each other. They landed on the name OFNO, which stands for Only Family No Outsiders. It seemed perfect, and the two siblings felt a sense of purpose for the first time since they’d moved to Dallas.  

They haven’t looked back since. 

“It started out as just a little thing we started, with a name that was meaningful to us and represents us well,” Quan said. “Now I have my own label and she’s selling shirts and shorts and all kinds of clothing. I’ve been working on perfecting my craft and flow and have a lot of music to share with the world now. I’m very versatile and have different types of sounds. I rap about what has gone on in my life, but mostly I want my music to be known for being organic. It’s from the heart. Somebody is gonna feel the pain when they listen to this song, while someone else will reminisce to it. I want people to know that everything I do is from the heart. And I want people to take me more seriously. I’m building momentum and showing people I have what it takes. I got goals, and this is just the beginning.”

Cory Davidson – I Like To Party

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

Feel-good vibes and upbeat grooves take center stage from energetic rapper Cory Davidson on new single ‘I Like to Party’ 

ELWOOD, IN – Anyone who knows Cory Davidson knows that he’s a little rowdy. Growing up in Elwood, Indiana, he ran with a crowd that included popular Country Rap artist Chris Hosier, and their group was well-known for being hard-headed, up-all-night partiers. He likes to party, and his new single invites others along for the ride with its upbeat vibes and catchy hooks. “I Like To Party” is not only a statement from an artist whose lifestyle is all about having a good time; it’s also a genuine feel-good vibe that’s perfect for the summer. 

Though he’s been close friends with Country Rapper Chris Hosier for most of his life, Davidson’s own style is not country rap. In fact, it’s hard to give him any kind of label. He doesn’t sound like anybody in hip-hop or rap. His new EP showcases a wide variety of sounds – from energetic tracks like “I Like to Party,” to more chill and laid-back vibes with “Make a Toast” and “Trampoline.” He taps into catchy beats with nice melodies, and can often be heard both singing and rapping on many of his songs.  

“I’ve listened to a lot of different music through the years, and it all influences me, but I don’t mimic anybody and I don’t sound like anybody else,” Davidson said. “Mostly I just want to make good-vibing music – something you can have a good time to while listening to it. And hopefully you can take something from it and relate to the song in some way. It’s just that simple. If you’re talking about negativity in what you’re rapping, that’s what people are going to associate you with. I want people to hear my music and just vibe and have a good time. Most of us want to put on a good song when we’re ready to go do something fun and have a good time. I think that would be really awesome for people to do that with my music.” 

Davidson said the full project will come out toward the end of July, though he’s planning to release a remix of “I Like to Party” prior to that date. The full album, which he’s calling “Just the Beginning,” will feature 10 tracks in total and continue to showcase his unique sound and style. 

Davidson first got his start in music as a kid, growing up in a household that embraced music in all its forms. His father was a radio DJ, and other members of his family were involved with music in one way or another. By the time he was ready to graduate high school, he was studying the art of music-making and learning how to engineer and produce at the highest level. He enlisted in the military after graduation, and during his time serving oversees he connected with many other artists and producers who were also serving in the military. He was wounded in 2008 while stationed in Iraq, and after being honorably discharged he returned home and re-entered the music scene, though now he was equipped with all the things he had learned from so many other talented artists from the past four years. He began writing and doing shows, and he began making music videos. Those videos were so well-done that he became the go-to guy for video making all around the U.S., and it’s something he continues to do to this day. The connections he’s made with many other artists along the way has put him in front of some high-level industry executives, and he knows that it’s only a matter of time before his music gets in front of the right people and leads to him becoming an internationally recognized artist.

17Back – 937

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

Party song of the summer makes its way across U.S. from East Coast rapper 17Back 

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD – A futuristic flare of hip-hop with a vibe that feels pulled straight out of a “Fast and Furious” movie takes center stage on the new single from East Coast artist 17Back. The single is “937” – a nod to the area code of Dayton, Ohio, which is where 17Back is from. It’s a trippy kind of ambient dance track that’s the perfect party vibe for the summer. The otherworldly opening feels as if it’s been pulled directly from a sci-fi film score, and then it suddenly makes way for a staccato beat with a bit of an Island vibe. It’s a song with an immense amount of international flare, and it serves as the perfect introduction to this young artist and his amazing rapid-fire flow. 

“When I heard the beat, the only thing I wanted to do was make a fun song,” 17Back said. “I wanted to create something that lasts with people in a way that makes them want to play it again and again. When I started thinking about the most fun time I’ve had in my life, I couldn’t help but think back to my time in Dayton. Everybody I know is out there, and though there were a lot of bad times, there are also a lot of good times that I remember. I wanted to put all those good times into one song. It’s me saying you’re a boss. You can go through a lot of hard things – you can be at the literal bottom – but you can pull through and eventually look at the things you’ve accomplished. It’s been a journey, and now it’s time to have some fun.” 

In some ways 17Back said the song nods to the overwhelming gratefulness he feels to have his own personal second chance. Sentenced to a 20-year stint in prison due to an aggravated burglary charge, he was given a break after only three-and-a-half years thanks to the 8505 program – a formal request of the court to reconsider its sentence under the auspices that the crime was committed by someone with a severe alcohol or drug addiction. Though 17Back was at first hesitant to apply for the program, he eventually listened to an older inmate who encouraged him to give it a shot. The end result was an early exit from prison, and 17 years of his life back. 

“I actually got my freedom, and now I’m just grinding in the studio every week, dropping songs and perfecting my craft,” he said. “This name is a reminder to me. Every time I hear 17Back, it reminds me I could still be in prison, but I’m not. Most of my music has always been talking about the pain – almost like a therapy session for me, or a way to get things off my mind. The things I can’t tell people in person comes out through my music. I kind of just want to be a storyteller. When people listen to my music, I hope they relate to it in one way or another. No matter what I’m talking about, I want everyone to vividly see that story and relate to it and learn from it.” 

17Back said he plans to continue telling stories on an album called “Perseverance,” which is set to drop before the end of the summer. In the meantime, “937” is currently available across all streaming platforms.

UpAllNyt – Up All Night

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

Party song of the summer heats up the airwaves from West Coast rapper UpAllNyt 

LOS ANGELES, CA – If there’s one thing you should know about Derrick Sean, it’s that he loves to party. Everyone who knows him knows he’s a guy to hang around if you want to have a good time. He’ll literally burn the midnight oil and party ‘til the sun comes up … it’s how he got his stage name, in fact. And today, as he operates as UpAllNyt, he not only enjoys having a good time, he also creates hot jams to give other people a good time. 

His latest EP “Mandated” is a perfect example of how he makes sick beats that get people hyped and moving. Across eight songs, the project tells real stories while also offering upbeat vibes that are perfect for the summer. The debut single from the project, “Up All Night,” is a tour du force of sound and style that is sure to be the hit track of the summer. 

“The name says it all,” UpAllNyt said. “It’s about being up all night partying with your woman or mistress. It’s a sex song, but it’s also about having a good time and it will definitely be a club song. There’s a little bit of R&B and hip-hop mixed together, and it’s just a really good vibe. I’ve had some great party nights, and this song came to me in jail when I was thinking back on some of those nights. If I hear it in my head, I’m gonna write it and record it and how it comes out, that’s how it comes out. I’m an artist, not just a rapper, and this song shows that to the world.” 

UpAllNyt said he first got into music when he was younger after watching an older brother trying to make it as a rapper. He’s originally from Los Angeles, and grew up in a single-parent home alongside five other siblings. Though he dropped out of high school in order to help pay his family’s bills, he did eventually finish high school and has been pursuing his dream of being a professional recording artist ever since. He’s honed his sound and style to be something completely unpredictable – citing inspirations from Maroon 5, Arctic Monkey and Adele to Lil Durk and Bone Thugs N Harmony.   

“I make music you can relate to,” he said. “I make real music. I’m not just going in the studio and saying anything, or just joking on the mic. I might tell a few jokes in a couple of songs, but I really want to create something that everyone can relate to and people can feel. I want it to be everlasting and timeless.” 

While “Mandated” continues to build momentum and bring in an ever-widening group of global fans, UpAllNyt said he’s working on completing a deluxe edition of the EP which will bring the total number of songs on the project up to 20. He said that should drop later this summer.

E-Dash – D.O.A.

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

E-Dash puts competition on notice with powerful new single ‘D.O.A.’ 

ATLANTA, GA – When E-Dash arrives on the scene, the competition better watch out. There’s nothing anyone will be able to do to survive against this Southern rapper whose signature style has been called genius by many in the industry. It’s safe to say that anyone who even tries to stand up to him in the rap game will be Dead On Arrival. And this powerful force in hip-hop serves up that notice with his latest hit single “D.O.A.” 

“It showcases a level of talent and skill that you don’t hear anymore in music,” E-Dash said. “I want to make sure that’s being brought back to the forefront of hip-hop. Basically this is a song for me to show that when I arrive, there’s nothing or no one else who will be able to survive.” 

The single is the first off an EP called “Forever,” which further displays his talent and shows the world that he’s no fly-by-night, one-hit wonder. His music is timeless and of such a high quality that his songs could be played forever. His style is unique and original, like nothing else in the game today. After years as an artist, he’s mastered his sound and created a style that is untouchable. 

Born in Queens, New York, but raised in Atlanta, music has been a mainstay in his life since age 9. Over the years he’s worked as a producer, artist, and CEO of his own indie label B-R.E.A.L. Ent. He’s made five albums (“Presidency,” “The Me LP,” “Real War,” “Silence of Lamb,” and “The Beginning”) and has had guest appearances on many unsigned artists’ material, such as Lee Danger, Capo Da Great, Jigg, Cradle Records, 2Chainz, and more. He was also in a group called Nimrod for four years. Along the way he said he’s learned a lot about the business side of music and the ins-and-outs of the recording process. 

“It didn’t come easy, but I never gave up,” he said. “I would write songs daily and perform anywhere I could. I developed my own school of music. My life surrounds my music and my music surrounds my life. I’m extremely dedicated to the success of my dreams and goals as an artist and a man. Life inspires me – whatever I’m going through at the time I could create a song about. It all depends on the mood I’m in when I write. The process of recording and hearing my voice is a wonderful feeling. And then watching something you create be enjoyed by others is the best feeling in the world. I’m changing the world through music, and I have no intention of stopping.”

GMB Flash – Put Up or Shut Up

Blog, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

GMB Flash gets in your face with aggressive new track ‘Put Up or Shut Up’ 

NEW ORLEANS, LA – GMB Flash has witnessed a lot of messed up stuff in his life growing up in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The pain and suffering he’s endured is the core of the music he offers to the world – an inside look at the hard life through the lens of very good music.  

His most recent offering to the world is the hot new single “Put Up or Shut Up.” It’s a message to anyone out there who claims to be a baller or to have money to affect change, that if they don’t step up and put their money where their mouth is then they better shut up.  

“Prove to us that you have it,” GMB Flash said. “If not, be quiet. A lot of people talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. This is me letting you know you better put up or shut up. A friend of mine sent me the beat and he asked me to kill it. That’s my job, so that’s what I did – I killed it. We got it to put it up – there’s no shuttin’ up on my end. Ain’t no quiet mouths over here. The goal is to show the world we been doing this for a minute.” 

GMB Flash is no stranger to aggressive and in-your-face lyrics. He’s made a career on it, in fact. For years he’s been performing at the top of the game, and his style is one that people recognize immediately for its authoritative and declarative nature. It’s the reason he was given the nickname Flash in the first place – because of his temper and the way he moves around in the streets. He’s never been one to wait on someone else to make a move, and when it comes to his career as a musician he’s been leading the way for a long time. 

“Ain’t nobody else out there like me,” he said. “I’m not a mumble rapper or doing something just for clout. There’s an actual message in my lyrics that will definitely resonate with the streets. Anyone who is even close to this type of life will feel my music. Folks who went through the type of stuff that I went through – stuck in a poverty-stricken environment where you constantly had to battle – will connect with what I’m bringing. It’s music for anybody who’s trying to elevate out of that. I don’t ever want to open up a pack of Top Ramen again in my house.” 

GMB Flash said “Put Up or Shut Up” is a single off a new EP called “Flashed Out,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. It’s a project that shows off his style and brings the Get Money Boys name into the world. He plans to follow that with the mixtape “Reincarnated” later this year.

Lord Orochi Kupa – Ex Stacy

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

Lord Orochi Kup offers fans feelings of ecstasy with hot new single 

HOUMA, LA – Lord Orochi Kupa has more pain in his life than most people deal with in two lifetimes. He grew up in a town notorious for racism. He’s been shot at, stalked, profiled, denied, and abused so many times he can no longer count. The pain is overwhelming, and at times makes him feel like he’s going insane. The only way he can keep that insanity at bay is through music.  

The counterpoint to that pain is ecstasy, which is the central theme of his new single “Ex Stacy.” Currently available across all streaming platforms, it’s a song that showcases this young up-and-coming artist’s unique sound and style in impressive ways. It literally gives the listener feelings of ecstasy, which is appropriate considering it was written to be played at parties or at the club. 

“I was inspired to write them song after rolling and partying and having a good time,” he said. “I remember watching the girls in the strobe lights and the tripping on the Dreamy Dragon, and that’s when the song came to fruition. I relate to others through pain music. I help them see the beauty in the pain and the beautify in the chaos and help them through that pain. This is a song that will give them the ecstasy they’re looking for.” 

If you ask him when music became such an integral part of his life, he’ll point to that moment at age 8 when his father left. Then he’ll tell you that the streets taught him music. People freestyling on street corners and rapping about their situations in life became the first pieces of lyricism that would one day fill his songs. At age 8 he took the initiative to find an old laptop and a cheap mic and start putting his ideas into song. He loved it, and hasn’t looked back since.  

“I have a very long and sad journey, but this music is my light,” he said. “the devil has come at me so many ways, and my only peace is music. I gotta run to my music to feel sane, or I’ll feel insane and my monster will just come out. I’m trying to hold that back and stay sane with this music.” 

Lord Orochi said he knows others all over the world can relate to those feelings, especially in these times of such despair and injustice. He relates to people through his music because he knows where they come from, and in comparison to other indie artists out there he said he feels like he’s hungrier than most. 

“I know how it feels to live in a trailer – to live on the streets and not eat,” he said. “I can relate to the real people. I can relate to those who are misunderstood and lost, and the mentally damaged. At the end of the day I’m not trying to impress anybody. I know people love me and they can relate to me. I just want to be a good person and do God’s work to change the world. I want to change lives and make people happy. When they’re going through the loss and pain and mourning, they can go to my music and feel at peace and at ease.”

Frank Doto – Don’t Make It Hot

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

CEO of Everything Official Entertainment drops hot new mixtape ‘Mr. Triple Double’ 

THOMASVILLE, NC – New York and the Deep South come together on a hot new mixtape from North Carolina artist Frank Doto. “Mr. Triple Double” is an impressive display of originality and raw talent, with songs that take advantage of some of the best up-and-coming artists in the industry today.  

“Don’t Make It Hot” is the debut single from the project. It’s a jumpy, club vibe made for the streets. Filled with a lot of aggressive energy, it’s actually a song that encourages the hustlers in the game to be more subtle with what they do so as not to attract too much attention to themselves. 

“You gotta keep some shit low-key,” Doto said. “Keep your moves low-key and be more subtle. You can draw attention to yourself, but don’t do it so much. You don’t need to say nothing, just let your actions speak for themselves. If people know, they know. If you understand what’s going on, you don’t need to question it.” 

Doto is an artist who has been doing music since he was young, and who has been perfecting his craft for many years. He moved around a lot as a kid, and it wasn’t until recently that he felt like he belonged to any one place after having settled in Thomasville, North Carolina. Over the past few years he’s put down roots and developed relationships with artists in the area. He has also started giving back to the world by working with younger artists and teaching them some of what he’s learned about the music industry along the way. The best way he does that is through his label Everything Official Entertainment.  

“I just influence people,” he said. “I want to leave my mark like that. I just want to help people and not really focus on myself so much. I’m focused on you – both as a listener and other artists. ‘Dot in the spot, don’t make it hot.’ That’s my saying. Everybody already knows me for that, and I’m making it like an anthem. And anybody who hears it knows there’s gonna be high quality music that’s gonna tell the truth and give them a good time.” 

In addition to “Mr. Triple Double,” Doto is working on another mixtape called “Ashy 2 Classy,” which is set to release later this summer. Doto works closely with artists like Money Hunt Keeda and K. The Mogul to create a variety of songs that showcase his unique sound and style on the project.
