Teezy Presidential elevates summer vibes with bouncy new groove ‘Vacay’ 

FAIRFIELD, AL – Teezy Presidential is an on-the-rise Fairfield, Alabama artist whose latest hit single “Vacay” has been lighting up the clubs and airwaves this summer. The playful flow offers listeners a fun, bouncy groove that makes you smile when you hear it. Offering listeners a get-away from the hardships of life and a break from the monotony of daily routines, “Vacay” is the ultimate summer single, and a great introduction to this young artist from the South.  

Teezy has only been in the game for a little bit, but he’s already carving out quite a niche for himself within hip-hop and music at large. He’s already had the opportunity to work with notorious artists such as Project Pat and New York’s Maino, and with his latest hit single “Vacay” he’s looking to make his mark on the industry.  

“I try to be different with my flow,” said this rapper from the South, whose accent is one of his most defining features on almost any track he creates. “I try to match my exact mood to the vibe of the song. My music is very diverse. I try not to push myself into any one category, I just make songs based upon what I’m going through in life situations. With this song I was dreaming about being somewhere else because at the time I had some issues that were going on and I had to handle business and there was just a lot of stuff up against me at the moment. I needed a getaway – a space to clear my mind. I think a lot of people need that right now in this post-pandemic period. This song offers you that all in one package. It has soul and emotion and it’s just a lot of fun” 

Teezy said soul and emotion are two things that will always come to the forefront in his music. It’s something he’s worked hard to capture since he was a young boy first exploring songwriting and music-making. He’s been dabbling with music off-and-on for about 12 years, but it wasn’t until recently that he picked it up full-time and pursued it as a full-blown career as a recording artist. He said he knows he has what it takes to make a splash in the industry because he has a different viewpoint and a strong work ethic.  

“Presidential is a reference to the status that I hold myself to with my music,” he said. “Everything has to be at a certain level. The energy that I’m coming with is all about the status of being elevated. At the end of the day I want to better relate to people through my music. No matter how far I get in the industry, I always want to stay to a point where I can connect to people who are listening to my music.”  

Teezy said he’s already in the process of developing another track, which he hopes to release before the summer is over. He’s also working on a video for “Vacay,” which should drop soon.

Jay Soundz offers South-style bump with new single ‘This Is It’ 

CHICAGO, IL – It’s not unusual for Chicago-based rapper Jay Soundz to be asked by fans who creates the beats for his songs. His percussive, Southern-style bump music is infectious and fun, and people want to know who he collaborated with to create that catchy sound. So it should come as no surprise that one of his favorite things to do is smile proudly and announce that the beats are all his – as is everything else about his music. From editing to songwriting to special effects, and everything in between, Jay Soundz is a one-man professional artist with skills that put him right up there at the top with other stellar artists in the game. 

“When people ask me, ‘Where’d you get this beat from?’ I love to tell them, ‘I made it!’” Jay said. “It all comes from me. More than anything that’s what I want people to know about my music is that everything is mine. I can produce my own beats. I can mix and master. I can write and record. Unless there’s a producer tag on a song that indicates I got it from someone else, the majority of what I create is mine. I like collaborating with others, but I have all the skills necessary to make a quality body of work on my own.” 

That journey as a musician started as a young boy who watched nearly everyone in his family embrace music in one way or another. His parents were both singers, and most of his cousins were artists and music professionals in one way or another. Jay started writing lyrics in sixth grade, and by high school he was producing and learning audio engineering. He eventually went to college to continue his education as an audio engineer, and after graduating he hasn’t looked back. Today he continues to explore new sounds and create new music that is equal parts entertaining and introspective.  

A sample of his work can be found on the album “Come Alive,” which is currently available on Soundcloud. It features 10 tracks, half of which are his own productions. The stand-out single from the album is “This Is It,” a track that he said is just a lot of fun. Like most of the music he creates, it has a nice beat with a catchy hook that says, “This is it. This that Feeling. This that vie. This that shit. This that feeling ya’ll be waiting for for years.” It’s a song that incorporates his blend of Down South style and Chicago-based vibes. You can instantly hear influences from some of his favorite rappers, such as Ludacriss, Kanye West, and Young Jeezy.  

“My beats might have a little bit of that Drill bassline, but my songs and sound won’t have that Drill vibe,” Jay said. “It’s just that I use a lot of percussion and drums. They have that South-style bump. I got a lot of stuff that bumps.” 

Jay said he’s working on completing a music video for “This Is It,” which should drop sometime later this summer. To listen to his music, or to follow him on social media, please visit the following links:

Don Private uses second chance on life to inspire others to learn from his hard ‘Lessons’ 

FAYETTEVILLE, NC – Don Private is a prolific storyteller who paints vivid pictures with his pithy bars and distinctive voice. In 2020 he offered the world his debut EP “1229,” introducing audiences to his signature style and perfect blend of sharp, solid lyrics spilled over sturdy, hypnotic beats. Currently streaming on all digital music platforms, “1229” is a tour du force of sound and style that has been bringing in an ever-widening global fanbase for this young up-and-coming rapper. This year he followed that up with the release of his sophomore project “1229Empire,” and his debut single from that EP, “Lessons,” is making waves all around the world. 

With a hard-driving, fast-paced, rapid-fire flow, Don Private showcases a unique skill as a rapper on top of a nice, bouncy beat with “Lessons.” Coupled with a fun, piano-driven background melody, the song is an intriguing juxtaposition of bouncy fun and aggressive energy. It’s a song that talks about this unique artist’s struggle – getting sentenced to 13 years in prison on a murder charge when he was only 17 years old. Now out of prison, he’s using his natural gifts as a musician to inspire others to learn from his hard-learned lessons. 

“I’ve taken my bumps and bruises and kept my dignity and honor along the way,” he said. “I could come out of all of that and look people in the eye and stand tall and tell people younger than me what to do and what not to do to succeed in life. With my music I can paint a vivid picture. I know where you’re going right now, but let me give you this dream. I learned a lesson, and you can learn from me. I’m thankful for all my blessings and just want to share that with as many people as possible.” 

Don said he honestly doesn’t know what he’d be doing today if it wasn’t for music. Once a young bull tied to the streets and the struggle, music is the thing that literally transformed his life and took him down a healthier path.  

“I’m so passionate about my music and sharing my message and my vision with the world,” he said. “Imma play Picasso in this industry. My music isn’t like most in the mainstream today. I spit from the heart. This shit here is authentic. It’s not a gimmick created to sell streams. Hip hop is beautiful. It made a way for street niggas like me to escape their environment and live life. I’m grateful for the second chance. I’m definitely thrilled about this new project. Ya’ll gonna really feel this one.”

Heavy hitter of hip-hop Esly Juarez drops hot new single ‘Dazed Awake’ 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Esly Juarez is a fresh-faced 21-year-old Bay Area rapper whose new single “Dazed Awake” is the perfect introduction to a unique sound and style that is turning heads in and out of the music industry all up and down the West Coast. The funky-sounding track has a spunky energy reminiscent of Redman, with a flow that takes over as you float on the rhythm. At some point the words just fall in sync with the beat and you just start bopping your head. You find yourself being caught by the wave of words, and next thing you know you’re swept away on a ride of such impressive music that you don’t want it to stop. 

The single is the first off a forthcoming album of the same name, which is slated to release on Aug. 15. It’s an album that will continue to introduce the world to this budding young artist. Across the project he talks about his life and invites listeners into a “righteous kind of mindset.” It’s a project that perfectly walks the line between funny and aggressive, with a mix of rhythmic vibes and clever choruses that are equal parts intriguing and entertaining.  

“It’s about self-determination and the conscious outlook of what you want in life and what you want to strive for,” he said. “It captures that vertigo feeling that you’re current present and you want to inspire pleasure from rhythm. It’s a vibe that’s coming to you, and then all the sudden you’re dropped right in the middle of it.” 

Esly said he first got into music as a child as he watched his father work as a program engineer for different radio stations. At a very young age he realized he could maintain himself as a rapper on the track, and he started getting the itch to be better and better – perfecting 16 lines, then 20 lines, then 20 lines on a different beat, ultimately working toward perfecting his flow and crafting an original sound that stands out from anyone else in the game right now. 

“I want to be respected in the world of hip-hop and seen as an artist who never gave up on his integrity,” Esly said. “This album is a lot more in the building stage of my career, but it’s also something that can be added upon. I’m trying different flows and seeing what people respond to. And along the way I feel like I’m falling into a nice little spot, even as I keep evolving. More than anything I’m trying to give listeners the person of who I am in the midst of exploring different sounds and styles.” 

Esly said “Dazed Awake” will be followed later this summer by a second single from the album called “Home Ugh-lone.” He also has videos planned for the single, which he hopes to drop before the official release of the album on Aug. 15.

J’uno Offers Liberating Ideas to the Masses With Introspective New Album ‘InnerVision’ 

CHESAPEAKE, VA – For as long as he can remember, the No. 1 has been an important symbol to Jaylen Foskey. He wore No. 1 when he played football in middle and high school. He is the ace of his line as a member of the fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi. It’s his lucky number and has become a central part of his identity. So, it made sense for him to embrace the number as his stage name when he decided to pursue music as a full-time career. Today J’uno is one of the fastest-rising young talents in the industry, and his new album “InnerVision” is about to show the world a whole new level of talent and artistry. 

The project is one that is very reflective of the current times, with 14 songs that deal with societal issues, mental health, and what goes on in the mind of a black man in today’s “American” society. With tracks like “Realize” and “Sandlot,” J’uno explores how various experiences can affect or lead to trauma and examines the depths of human compassion and vulnerability in ways that he hopes will draw people closer together. 

“The No. 1 aligns with the way I think about the world,” J’uno said. “I see us all as one people – one cosmopolitan society as people of the earth. I really believe we as a society need to wake up and understand that we’re all in it together. Being one unit is something that has always been driven in my mind. This album is about overcoming the things that divide us and trying to bring more light to the world. It’s all about vulnerability and trying to make a push for making sure people are able to open up about their issues. It’s all about uplifting and empowerment and reflection. And ultimately it’s all about freeing yourself from the worries of what’s going on in the world and from the bounds of societal pressures.” 

One of the more poignant songs on the album is the single “Sandlot.” Born from a personal experience that came with a major trauma to one of his best friends, the song offers a nostalgic vibe and invites listeners to think back to days of growing up and playing outside while appreciating the lessons learned at the time. J’uno said a month after he and his friend graduated from high school, his friend was shot outside of his home while defending his family from intruders who were trying to break in. The bullet missed his spine by less than a centimeter. His friend is now fully healed and able to walk, but the experience was one that served as a harsh spotlight on the evils of the world. 

“There are so many people out there who have lost people, or almost lost people, to gun violence,” J’uno said. “I wanted to make a song that was about that experience, but more so was about reflecting on good times and relationships.” 

Overall, J’uno said the entire project has more of a mellow, laid-back vibe to it, with lyricism that has already been likened to wordsmiths like J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar. Some of the songs pick up a bit, but for the most part it’s a chill vibe. More than anything it’s a project that showcases this young artist’s impressive intellect and crystal-clear clarity and perspective on the world. His insights are profound, and listeners will be hard-pressed not to think about the ideas he brings to the table long after they’ve stopped listening to his music. 

“Freedom encompasses so many different aspects of my music,” J’uno said. “Freedom of expression. Freedom from the bounds of one sound – I love to experiment and I have such an eclectic taste in music. Freedom to create and not try to be tied down to being a one-trick pony. Personal freedom. That idea of liberation is the main message of this album. Free yourself from any type of thought process that limits you. Be limitless and free within yourself, and let’s use that to free society as a whole.”
