La’Mariona – Boomarang

Blog

Bold new female rapper La’Mariona offers warning to the world with new single ‘Boomarang’ 

NORFOLK, VA – What you put out into the world always comes back to you. If it’s good, more than likely you’ll receive good in return. But if it’s bad, the negativity will bounce back in ways that are more painful than you might realize.  

That’s the sentiment behind the new single from DMV artist La’Mariona. “Boomarang” is a hard-hitting song that not only showcases the originality of this fast-rising young artist, but also offers a feel-good vibe for music lovers all over the world. Produced by Zukhanbeats – the same producer who has worked with Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Ludacris and “WeFlyHigh” Jim Jones, among others – “Boomarang” is a tale of karma over an upbeat vibe that is sure to have heads bobbing, feet moving and girls twerking. 

“When you throw a boomerang, it comes back to you,” La’Mariona said. “That’s life. What goes around, comes around. Whatever you put out there in the atmosphere comes back.” 

The single is one in which La’Mariona said her fresh take on hip-hop will help her to stand out among the other female artists of the genre. She said she avoids talking about subjects in the normal way most female rappers do, choosing not to use sex and her body as a selling point for her music. La’Mariona would rather become known as an intelligent artist who talks about “real stuff.” Through that work, she hopes to be able to inspire other females to embrace their independence and boldly live without the co-dependency on men. 

“Ladies don’t need dudes to be in their lives to be successful,” she said. “You don’t need a partner all the time, and you don’t need a man to affirm you. I hope to inspire girls to follow in my shoes. You can be yourself. You can be independent. You can make money on your own. I’m different than any other female rapper out there because I say things how I want to. I’m not like anybody else, and people are going to see what I’m made of when they hear this music.” 

La’Mariona said “Boomarang” is the first single off a new album she plans to release later this year called “BAM (Bitches And Money).” The 12-song project will continue to explore themes that have to do with the ups-and-downs of life. Prior to its release, La’Mariona said she wants to release another single from the project called “Never Truss,” which will be more of a heartfelt upbeat song perfect for the summer.

Brooke Fair – Bite My Tongue

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

Up-and-coming singer/songwriter Brooke Fair motivates fans with two new singles 

MEMPHIS, TN – At age 16, it feels weird to Brooke Fair to think of her passion for creating music as a career. She does music because she loves it. It’s her coping mechanism. It’s in her bones. And when she creates new songs, she’s sharing a huge part of her soul with everyone who hears it. But with such natural talent and an undeniable signature sound, it has become evident that she’s the kind of artist who has what it takes to make music a lifelong endeavor. Her first EP that she released at age 14 made a major splash in the industry, and the three other singles she’s released since that time have continued to expand her fanbase on a global level. Now she’s ready to release two more hit singles in the month of May with “Bite My Tongue” and “I’m Not Sorry.” 

The first single drops May 14. “Bite My Tongue” explores a friend-based relationship that is on the rocks and creates moments of tension more often than not. It’s a song that will be immediately identifiable for other teenagers, but which also has a deep message that resonates with music lovers of all ages. Showcasing her amazing vocals set against an indie-pop vibe, the song evokes thoughts of Taylor Swift or English singer Dodie.  

“It’s a song about feeling like there’s a friendship that has a lot of issues that you’ve ng to work out – or any relationship, really – and feeling like you can’t say anything because it wouldn’t be productive or you’d lost too much if you spoke up,” Fair said. “But in the back of your mind you know it has to end because of how unhealthy it has gotten. I feel like sonically it’s presented in a way that makes it feel less sad than it sounds, and the fact that it’s upbeat I think helps people relate to it more and reflect on those things. I’ve been in situations when I’ve had to recognize things about myself, and if I’m listening to something upbeat and the lyrics are really hitting home, then I’m more likely to make that change and consider what it means to have a different perspective. When you phrase your experiences in the right way it can draw people in.” 

Fair will follow that single with “I’m Not Sorry” on May 28, two days before her 17th birthday. Like “Bite My Tongue,” the second single is a great showcase of her amazing vocals and Indie-Pop style. It’s also a song that perfectly displays her natural talent as a songwriter, with lyrics that further explore the depths of relationships while also serving as a motivational mantra for anyone who listens to it. 

“It’s almost like a sequel to ‘Bite My Tongue’ because it’s on the back end of a relationship that you’ve decided to end,” Fair said. “You’ve decided to cut that person off and leave the relationship, and you’re saying ‘I’m not sorry’ for setting boundaries or leaving and doing what’s best for you. It’s empowering in that you’re unapologetically standing up for yourself.” 

Fair worked closely with Grammy-nominated songwriter Jamie Floyd on “I’m Not Sorry,” and co-wrote “Bite My Tonge” with Rebekah White Williams, continuing her string of collaborations with influential veterans of the industry. She has previously worked with renowned producer Elliot Ives, and recorded a couple of songs with Sarah Simmons, an artist who was featured on NBC’s The Voice. 

Fair said in addition to these two singles she’s hard at work on an album, which she hopes to release later this year. It’s a project that will feature a cool mix of Memphis style and pop for a twist that she said is like nothing anyone has ever seen before.

Trickstaer – Delinquent Center

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

Underground criminal and talented musician Trickstaer drops new project ‘Delinquent Center, a Whisper Album’  

NEW BRAUNFELS, TX – Tony Truong, better known by his stage name Trickstaer, is a Vietnamese-American rapper, singer, composer and record producer who has been making a name for himself throughout the music industry over the past few years. He received initial recognition from the third collection of music, “Phantoms of Reiterations,” which he released in September 2020. Today he’s looking to expand his global fanbase with the release of his latest album “Delinquent Center, A Whisper Album.”  

Self-described as a “crazy journey and life experience rap project” that showcases his unique skillset and signature style as an artist, “Delinquent Center, A Whisper Album” takes listeners on a journey that shows a young music lover evolve into a bona fide rapper who has the raw, natural talent to one day become a household name. No longer is Trickstaer a new artist. With this new album he’s showing the world a maturity as an artist that only comes with someone who has put in the hard work to hone his skills and develop a quality of sound that is second-to-none. 

“The perspective of this album is from the emotions a kid from a delinquent center,” Trickstaer said. “It’s a metaphor. The world is a delinquent center, so you should watch your back.” 

The standout single from the album is a song of the same name, “Delinquent Center.” Further piggybacking off the idea of a kid in a delinquent center, the song is unexpectedly about love and heartbreak and the inability to share love with someone when you’re trapped by other obligations or restrictions.  

“It’s about being in an isolated life, loving somebody and the intimacy that holds nobody’s opinions but the two of yours,” he said. “And when it’s gone, there’s nobody to hold the pain but you. That’s the love of Delinquent Center. If you get your heart broken in a delinquent center, what do you do? Nobody takes care of you but you. It’s a song that shows vulnerability. My music began from a place of talking and a need for a voice. This is not about being scary, but I come from a bad life and I’m bringing music from a vulnerable place around it. I’m misunderstood, because this is more about not being accepted for who I am. I am an enigma. Out of that I think I’ve created one of the best, most classic albums for people to listen to.” 

“Delinquent Center, A Whisper Album” is currently available across all digital streaming platforms. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Akeem Magnetic – Woah!

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

Fans around the world are attracted to the wisdom of young artist Akeem Magnetic and his pumped up new single ‘Whoa’ 

COLLEGE PARK, GA – Akeem Magnetic is an artist who is authentic, unapologetic and about to get you pumped up. His latest single will make you say “Whoa!” … literally. It’s an upbeat, summer-ready jam that is sure to have people on their feet and bouncing, while also serving as an anthem, of sorts, for the masses. 

“It’s a song to get people pumped up,” Akeem said. “It’s basically an expression that you would say when you’ve come through something hard and you’ve triumphed. It’s like, ‘Whoa Kemosabe! I did it!’ For me it starts with overcoming my trials and making major changes after I did two years in prison and now seeing everything I ever thought could come to me, and I’m just like ‘Whoa!’” 

Born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, but raised on the South Side of Atlanta in the neighborhood known as College Park, Akeem developed a passion for music at a very young age. He was inspired by his father, who was a producer, and his uncle, who was a rapper. He recalls many times as a young child when he’d be with the both of them in the studio, or watching his dad stay up late at night making beats. He embraced that musical influence and showcased a natural affinity for freestyling. But in his early teenage years he ran into trouble with the law. He spent the last year-and-a-half of his sentence in a halfway house, which is where music really became his main outlet of expression and his saving grace. 

“When I was in the halfway house I created a single called ‘Crime College,’” Akeem said. “It did really well and got a lot of attention, and that kind of served as a transition for me that made me want to music full-time. Once I got out and had the support of my family – which is just beautiful – I’ve been working hard to make this music successful.” 

In October 2020, Akeem released his first single, “Humble Beginnings.” With more than 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and more than 15,000 social media followers, Akeem’s progress in the music industry continues to skyrocket. And now, with the release of his latest single “Whoa,” he plans to become a dominant force in the industry. With such a rapid rise and relentless stream of critical and real-world problems, it’s clear that Akeem has clear knowledge and plans for success. 

“My music comes from my experiences alone and it’s distinguished from any other artist out there,” he said. “My name Akeem means wise, and I’ve paired that with something that’s attractive, like a magnet. What I speak and say attracts people. I’m a magnetic character, and my music is all about being attracted to that wisdom through good vibes. My truth and authenticity comes through in creative ways, and I’m excited for more people to hear it.”

Astro Davis – Prpl Rain

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Astro Davis Gets Real About Who He Is In Deep, Mellow “Prpl Rain” 

(Alexandria, VA) 

“My motive for making music isn’t just to put out content. It’s also to be very sincere with my audience. I want to unite my audience and me, to make us feel like we are one. They’re on my journey with me,” says Philly-born, Virginia-raised rapper Astro Davis. Davis charts that journey on his single “Prpl Rain.”  

“This song means a lot more to me than other songs because the subject I’m talking about is real,” says Davis. “It shows me explaining who I am, what I’m doing,” he adds. The song arose when his producer put on a beat, and Davis emoted the words. “I just started singing to it. It was perfect. After that, the magic happened.” The song layers melodic singing with aggressive rap over a slow, swaying beat. “The song is chill but it has message,” says the artist.  

“Prpl Rain” takes its name from the time Davis was prescribed codeine. “Codeine is usually purple, depending on how you mix it. In the song I’m describing the numb feeling you have even when you’re going through heavy stuff,” he remembers.  

The title, of course, pays homage to Prince. “Everybody loves Prince. He changed the course of music. You’ll never hear anything bad about Prince. I was very inspired by that,” says the rapper. Prince is only one of many influences on the rapper, who enjoyed a multicultural upbringing. “I did a lot of traveling as a kid. My mom is Egyptian and Italian, and my dad’s African-American. I grew up with a lot of Italian music like Frank Sinatra. My mom loved DMX. She didn’t listen to too much rap, but when she did, it was always DMX. Then there was the hype music, the West Coast music,” he remembers.  

These international influences motivate Davis and lend a broader perspective to his work. He credits those influences and his producers with helping him find his own versatility as an artist. For the moment though, Astro Davis invites you to come get to know him in the “Prpl Rain.” 

“Prpl Rain” is available on all major streaming platforms; a video will follow.  

Davis will release an EP in the coming months.

SpaceGvng Saturn – Best of Me

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

 Laid back vibe with deeper message motivates fans on new single ‘Best of Me’ 

 LOUIS, MO – Like many other artists who want to leave a legacy, St. Louis-based rapperSpaceGvngSaturn hopes that when people look back on his music many years from now, they recognize it as music that is timeless. He creates life-giving music that pulls from the pain of his past and uses it to inspire others to push through any adversity they might face. His latest single, “Best of Me,” is a great example of how SpaceGvng is using his platform to motivate others. With a laid-back flow and a vibe that’s undeniable, “Best of Me” is a great introduction not only to his forthcoming EP “So Far Gone 2,” but also to him as an artist.  

“It’s a song that’s just me expressing myself and how much I’ve overcome and grown over the past few years,” he said. “I love that laid-back feeling, and this song is a vibe, for sure. But you can also hear my wordplay. I like to preach, I guess you could say. I like to draw people in. That’s why I’m chill and laid back, because it makes people lean in and listen to what I have to say.” 

Coming from St. Louis, SpaceGvng said he’s very conscious of the “repetitive sound” coming out of the city. He dares to be different and tries to showcase a signature style that is unlike anything else coming out of St. Louis today. Raised in one of the more economically depressed neighborhoods of one of the most statistically violent cities in the world, SpaceGvng has seen his fair share of hardships and pain. He’s been in-and-out of jail, lost friends to the streets, and recently lost his mother. But he has also had some amazing accomplishments along the way. He’s started a family and is invested in the lives of his kids. He’s crafted a unique sound and style that is steadily gaining a fan following with each successive release. And the music videos he has developed have garnered such amazing buzz that each new release becomes an eagerly anticipated event. 

“Raised in the slums, I felt like I had three options to get rich,” he said. “It was either sports, trapping or rapping. And life became easier once I figured out I could express my pain through my music. I’ve been rapping seriously for three years now, and I’m ready to take it to the next level.” 

SpaceGvng said he’s planning to drop another EP this summer, and will continue to keep releasing videos and singles throughout the rest of the year.

Duchess Letitia / Madame Kapuscinska – Love Letter

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

Madame Kapuscinska Brings Healing And Wholeness On Eternal 

Knowing oneself is no easy feat. But Madame Kapuscinska knows herself. She’s been to the bottom of her flaws. She’s touched her own wounds to heal them. Now, Madame Kapuscinska brings empowerment and regeneration to her audience. “So many people tried to reject me,” said Madame Kapuscinska. “If someone’s not gonna open the door, I’m gonna make my own door.” Fiercely independent, Madame Kapuscinska handles every aspect of her music career. “ I do my own admin and my own graphics,” she said. “Music is a natural part of me. It helps me manage my mental health.” 

Madame Kapuscinska’s latest EP Eternal features 4 honest tracks of pure humanity. She penned “Love Letter” as an homage to the transcendent nature of love, but also the anguish stemming from that love. “‘Love Letter’ is a frustrated mother and wife battling her own demons,” explained Madame Kapuscinska. “And trying to escape, but instead of trying to escape it’s released into music into art. Pain into passion. Creatively communicating expression.”  

While “Love Letter” celebrates profound human connection, Madame Kapuscinska doesn’t eschew the uglier parts of life. Listeners ought to take heed of Madame Kapuscinska’s warning on “Online Romance.” Don’t dismiss it as “just another love song.” Instead, the song explores the dangerous side of human connection. “I was getting hit up online,” said Madame Kapuscinska. “I got messages from someone who said they were 15 minutes away from my home. Someone was romanticizing me based on what they think I’m like in my videos.”  

But Madame Kapuscinska doesn’t dwell on discomfort or hardship. The single “Ascension” finds her cleansing the damage of the past. “After all the pain and all the trauma, I was about to give up,” said Madame Kapuscinska. “But just as I was about to let go and fall somebody caught me and brought me to the light.” In the song, Madame Kapuscinska also recalls a divine presence giving her aid. “An angel lifted me up and surrounded me with a warm embrace,” she said. “The song tells people to breathe. I’ve had my ascension. I’ve risen. You can have your ascension too. You too can rise.”  

Madame Kapuscinska assured fans that they can expect a great deal of content from her. She has 2 music videos in the works for tracks from Eternal. Music-wise, she is working on a full-length reggae album. But Madame Kapuscinska is a lady of many talents. “I have 2 films coming up currently,” she said. “I have a line of gymwear. I’m expanding to jewelry and haircare. I’m working on my autobio. A documentary of my mental health is being sent to festivals.” Fans should tune into Madame Kapuscinska’s platforms for livestream performances and exclusive content.

Falme D – Mission

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

Falmé D wields witty words as a weapon with new EP ‘MottoMan’ 

LOS ANGELES, CA – You’ve heard the saying, “The pen is mightier than the sword,” but for West Coast artist Falmé D, his pen is his sword. And he wields that weapon with expert precision on his new EP “MottoMan,” which is currently available across all digital platforms. The project features three standout singles that explore some of the experiences of his past and how those moments helped from him into the man he is today. They also serve as inspirational messages to the masses to help people embrace their natural gifts, talents and abilities to accomplish the dreams they want to chase in their lives. 

The EP starts with “Sensei,” a bold song that gives fans a lot of quotable lyrics filled with real talk. Take the hook, for instance, which says, “Falmé D the king … never mind, call me young sensei.” It’s a catchy hook that speaks on his goals and his past and the things he’s been through, and uses that as a spur to be a better man in the future.  

The second track is “Fly,” which is more of an up-tempo groove that talks about wanting to take off and fly and be in the sky and have no worries or doubts in life. This leads into the final track, “Mission,” which is also the inspiration for the EP’s cover art, which was drawn by Falmé D’s good friend Levi.  

“It’s a song about how far we’ve come and how I always say I’m on a mission,” he said. “That’s what I’m all about. I’m faith-forward and on a mission. This song captures that and wraps up everything I’ve been saying for the past four or five years and shows that what I said I was going to do, I actually accomplished.” 

Falmé D has been making music since his early teenage years. His mother was a singer who loved the Oldies, and his father was into hip-hop, which led to a diverse and eclectic range of musical interests for Falmé D. As such, his palette is a little different than one might expect from a hip-hop artist today. His voice and his flows aren’t like anyone else in the business. The beats he chooses and uses aren’t like anyone else. He prides himself on that, and has worked hard over the years to hone his craft and create something that is truly original.  

“I hope my music is known for being unique and standing the test of time,” he said. “I go back and listen to the music I’ve dropped over the years, and a lot of it I know will stand the test of time. People are still listening to music I dropped three or four years ago, which makes me feel good. Even with sounds changing so much, my sound is still mine and will always be that way. I’m creating and standing strong among all the other music of the world. And people who need it will get it when they need it. That’s the mission.” 

Falmé D said he has more music and videos coming in the next few months. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Josiah Gray – Need To Know

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

Masterful Production and Eclectic Genres Shine on Josiah Grey’s Debut LP (Miami) 

On his debut album, A Blessing Money Can’t Buy, Josiah Grey celebrates his struggles and how he overcame them to truly value life as a blessing money can’t buy. Grey, a native Ecuadorian, may only be 20 years old, but he’s already come up through the ranks as a DJ, producer, and artist.  

“I did a lot of DJ’ing. My stepbrother used to produce so I would watch him and he taught me. I would DJ at house parties. He did bigger venues. He took a different route and did Hispanic music. I decided what I wanted to do and taught myself everything else after that,” says Grey. By middle school, he had a recording set up in his room. Later, he spent all his time after school at “YouTube University,” soaking up everything he could about production and sampling. A search for the right studio led him to House of Dreams, where he’s been perfecting the album for the past two years.  

While Grey mainly focuses on rap, his album nods toward R&B and rock music, also featuring lines delivered in Spanish. The songs on this project are just a glimpse at the other music he’s waiting to release, which reveals his greater breadth of influences. He’s an eclectic listener, citing J. Cole and Nas as rap influences on his rap and classic rock artists like Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, and The Doors on his production, alongside The Alchemist, 9th Wonder, and Kanye West. 

“Need to Know” showcases Grey’s R&B skills. “It was about a crush I had on this girl. We had a thing and it inspired me. I talk about other situations, but mainly that one. It’s a love song but it has another meaning to it. If you listen to it, it’s about how not to get too obsessed–but just a little bit,” he says. The song’s slow groove and clear vocals highlight its introspective nature.  

Grey says, “The point-of-view of the album is me coming out as an artist. I talk about me and the album is about my struggles coming up.” “Josiah’s Journal” makes those struggles visceral. Built on a delicate guitar sample from Pink Floyd’s “Hey You,” the song quickly takes on an aggressive beat and confrontational flow. 

The album ends, appropriately, with “Odyssey’s End.” “It’s the end of a journey, wrapping up the end of everything I’ve gone through. It’s about overcoming things and finding resolution. The vibe is about overcoming. Everybody says it’s like a song they’d hear at the end of the movie when the closing credits roll,” the artist says. This track is a rock song with a rap bridge, then becomes a hybrid, all with the help of Truee K. The lyrics celebrates the self-care and self-improvement that have guided Grey, and they’re also a prayer for safe passage forward.  

A Blessing Money Can’t Buy is available on all streaming platforms.
