RichRel – SonShine

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

RichRel shares light and hope with energetic EP ‘SonShine’ 

LOS ANGELES, CA – An exploration of light and hope takes center stage on the new album from West Coast artist RichRel. With a sound reminiscent of Kanye West’s new vibes, RichRel’s “SonShine” offers fans of hip-hop a new style as he aims to inspire the world to look to the hope that comes with a new day. 

“When I created this project I was in a very dark place, just like a lot of other people have been recently,” RichRel said. “The foundational thought that hit me is that the sun is gonna come up tomorrow, and there’s hope in that. We need to fight for that. So what you see throughout the project is an idea of light and hope.” 

Released across all streaming platforms on Sept. 24, the project features six songs that RichRel said “are meant to be played as loud as possible.” This is not elevator music. In fact, RichRel said he’ll be surprised if this album isn’t cranked up by fans all over the U.S. and eventually in the international market. That buzz has already started thanks to the debut single that shares its name with the EP, “SonShine.” The song has a bit of a crossover vibe to it with a nice tight flow and lyrics that tell RichRel’s story and his determination not to fold in the face of adversity. 

“When you’re in that place you could fold, but you become bold enough to say you’re gonna shine,” he said. “That’s what the song is about – the pain and the dark, but then the light provides a spark. This album is for the eclectic. It’s for the warriors of light. It’s not for passive people. Anyone who resonates with it will have that warrior spirit in them. We’re warring for good, for progress, and for positive energy. It’s motivational and anthemic. It’s calling out and calling to a charge to come out of this time we’re in. We need something like that right now.” 

RichRel said he’s excited for a new fanbase to recognize his cross-generational and multi-cultural appeal as an artist. Originally from Chicago, this former D1 football star eventually decided to hang up his cleats in favor of a professional career as a recording artist. Along the way he also founded a nonprofit called Mission1Race that creates content, community experiences and unity-based curriculum that seeks to establish diverse collaborations to advocate for and bring together people of multiple background and demographics. The ultimate goal of the organization is to advocate for justice, radical forgiveness, human reconciliation and oneness.  

“Whatever you got, we all can shine in our space and time,” he said,. “We don’t all have to be entertainers or doctors or whatever. Whatever your influence is, stay the course and shine and start seeing each other and respecting each other. Faith, gender, sexuality, race … none of that changes the value and respect that each human deserves. The ultimate undertone for me as an artist is to bring people together. I would be disappointed if my music didn’t represent that.”

Troy Remedy – Lost The Flame

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

Lost The Flame Finds a Home with Fans 

HOUSTON – Troy Remedy has done it again. His latest single, “Lost the Flame,” blends one part hip-hop and one part Texas blues for a single that is destined to blaze the charts. 

Joining the Texas native is Big Pokey, a Houston hip hop veteran and original member of the infamous Screwed Up Click.  Founded by the late and iconic DJ Screw whose sounds helped shape the Houston Hip hop scene.  With this single they’ve masterfully created “Lost the Flame,” which focuses on keeping the desire to keep going alive and those who’ve lost the flame and their own passion due to circumstances both in and out of their control.  

“We’ve all given up at one point or another,” said Troy Remedy. “But to endure and keep pushing is key. And for those who’ve lost that passion or will we do this for them as well.” 

Admitting that he has “fallen off track” a few times, Remedy says coming back stronger is important in one’s life and fulfilling what your passions and purposes are just as crucial.  

“Don’t ever lose that fighting spirit,” he said.   

The “Lost the Flame” video is now available on YouTube, while the single will drop later 

this week. Remedy penned “Lost the Flame,” knowing that he wanted to provide something that struck a chord and was hard hitting, which has ignited with fans as the video has already been well received early on. The video was shot in Houston, with Big Pokey adding an impactful verse that blends so well with the beat.  

“Big Pokey is a Houston legend,” said Remedy. “I was fortunate to have him jump on board. He adds that extra key ingredient to drive the message home.” 

The video features scenes that offer an in depth look into the meaning behind the verses and chorus and includes fiery camera angles representing the need to keep the fire inside burning and your drive alive. Fans of good music with a powerful message can look forward to adding this to the vault in their collection.  

“Flames burn out the system then it’s pitch dark” 

“You only feeling existence when you had the spark.”

The Stewarts – Faith

Videos

Gospel-Duo The Stewarts Give God Praise In Upcoming Single “Faith”

September 20th- The chart-topping gospel duo The Stewarts are back with incredible music to make the year 2021 much brighter. Made up of brothers Del and Garry K, the group has charted several of the biggest playlists of the country, their music reaching nearly half a million listeners. Deemed in 2020, The Stewarts were seen by Spotify as being one of the hottest unsigned recording artists of 2020. And we all can see why. 

The brother-and-brother have always gravitated towards music from a very young age. From playing bongos using an empty cereal box, to loving a gifted organ, the boys were talented from the very beginning. Their parents always encouraged their music journey, and the two credit their mother and father for helping them recognize their true passion. And the world is so glad that they did. 

The group are inspired by some of the most legendary artists the industry has seen, from the Jackson 5, to Franklin Beverly & Maze, and The O’ Jays. We’re incorporating old school with new school. That comes with a softer sound that’s bringing positive lyrics.”-Garry K.  

In addition to being motivated by their parents and music legends, God is the person that The Stewarts have based their career and lives off of. Their mission is to share the word of the lord to their thousands of listeners, in hopes that it will emotionally touch and change the lives of the people listening to it. They believe that even if one person hears God’s word, that it will start a change reaction to everyone. “We give all praise to God.And we just pray that God will lead us to the right people so that our music can make an impact.”-Del. 

Now, Del and Garry are back in the music industry, with a plan to continue their religious mission with their fans. Not only are they releasing a brand-new single entitled “Stand”, but they are re-releasing their hit single “Faith” and releasing several more. We are so thankful for The Stewarts for standing out in the music industry, and truly touching the hearts of every single person that takes a second to hear. 

Layla Telle – All I Want Is You, PT. 2

Blog, Music, Videos

Layla Telle showcases beautiful vocals on hot new single ‘All I Want Is you, PT 2’ 

EASTON, MD – A hot new single from East Coast artist Layla Telle is creating quite a buzz. “All I Want Is You, PT 2” is a pure R&B hit with minor hints of hip-hop swag thanks to the feature of S. Romio. But more than anything the song is a showcase of Layla Telle’s amazing vocals. With a catchy hook and lyrics that are immediately relatable, this song is destined to become one of the most talked-about tracks of the year. 

“The video is about being a clingy girlfriend and wanting your man’s attention,” Layla said. “You’re not getting it, though, because the guy is focusing on other stuff. When I made the song I was talking to a guy and we had been together for a minute but he was more about himself. He would go out and do stuff without telling me anything. He’d go to a party and I’d be at home and call him and be like, ‘Where you at?’ He didn’t communicate with me very well, and there were a lot of little things that he would do that would cause arguments. This song came out of those moments as I was learning about him and trying to decide what I could live with and what I couldn’t.” 

Layla said she first started singing when she was 4 years old and hasn’t ever looked back. Born Kapree Batson, it was at age 4 that she had a very vivid dream where she was a successful global star who went by the name Layla Telle. The dream left such an imprint on her mind that even as she grew older and wiser, she never forgot that name or the hopes of one day making it big as an international superstar. So when she finally started to pursue a professional recording career, it only made sense to take on Layla Telle as her stage name.  

It was after college that she got her first big break. After recording her first single “Queen,” she started dating a guy who was a group called Uneek Ones. One of the guys in that group was a professional engineer, and he encouraged her to continue making music. Together they went into the studio and he helped develop her sound into something truly special. The song they created together was called “I Feel Loved,” and the response from audiences online was favorable and led to her making more music. 

“I have a unique voice,” she said. “There’s not really anyone you can compare me to because my style is so diverse. And at the end of the day I hope people recognize me for being passionate about my music and being a music hustler. I hope they see that I’m chill and I sing with feeling. You can feel my words when I sing.” 

Layla isn’t stopping with music, either. She’s also set to join the cast of the new movie “Platinum Live TV The Movie 2,” for which her single will also serve as one of the main songs on the soundtrack. She’s also working on an EP called “No More Setbacks,” which she said should release in the next few months.

Carson Key – Break ups

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Videos

Carson Key parleys early success into push for international stardom 

RICHMOND, VA – Carson Key is a name you need to have on your radar. 

Prior to the COVID pandemic, this young artist from the East Coast was creating quite a buzz among the music industry. His song “Neverland” – a kind of remix of Ruth B’s “Lost Boy” – has seen nearly 15 million views on YouTube. He’s caught the attention of mega-artists Soulja Boy and Ramsey The Great – even collaborating with them on a song. He’s had meetings with major A&Rs and labels, and is primed to become one of the music industry’s hottest new international artists.  

Fans who don’t know him can check out his latest hit single, “Break Ups,” across all streaming platforms. Inspired by a tragic experience between he and an ex-girlfriend, the song showcases his melodic style and raw talent as a rapper and all-around artist. As soon as listeners hear his unique sound and style, they’ll know why so many A&Rs have said that he’s difficult describe in the best of ways. He’s diverse, and his ability to weave words around any beat or instrumental is second-to-none. 

“I’ll do a song like ‘Break Ups’ – which is more melodic than anything else – and then do a song like ‘Barkin’ – which is about to come out and is more Trap and upbeat – and people will see how my style is so unlike anything else out there,” Key said. “When I’m in the studio, I’m just writing how I feel in the moment. I don’t have a set genre. I just want listeners to be able to take the lyrics and apply to them any situation in their own lives.” 

Key said he first got started with music when he was 14 years old. At the time, his older sister passed away and he dealt with a lot of PTSD from the traumatic experience. He started writing as a method to cope with those overwhelming feelings. Eventually he started putting his lyrics online, and people gave him some great feedback. By age 16 he was recording, and he hasn’t looked back since. Now at age 24 he’s trying to parley his early success into more of an international presence. He’s taking his songs like “Food For Thought” – which features Soulja Boy – and “Neverland” and using them to build momentum for a push into even larger audiences.  

Following “Break Ups,” Key said he plans to drop an album called “Colder Than December.” Exploring the come-up and the challenges he and his team have had to overcome to get to where they are, the project will serve as the perfect winter mix. He said the first single from that project, also called “December,” should release in mid-to-late November ahead of the full album.

Yasmina – Moon

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

Finnish singer pairs ethereal vibes with vulnerable lyrics on new single ‘Moon’ 

VAASA, FINLAND – In Greek mythology, Selene is the goddess of the Moon. As the tale goes, she drives her moon chariot across the heavens and was worshiped as the all-seeing eye of the night because the moon would always be visible in the night sky and no one could run from it. She shone bright with her magnificent silver light, which is an apt analogy for the way Yasmina Limam’s music is drawing attention from all over the world.  

Hailing from a small hamlet in Finland, this ethereal vocalist with an electro-pop edge is bringing a very modern yet progressive sound to the global stage. Her new EP, “Moon,” which is slated to release later this year, embraces the symbology of the goddess Selene and serves as a platform for the kind of inspirational music this talented young artist wants to offer to the world.  

“I want my music to be known for being authentically who I want to be and what I want to present myself as,” she said. “I never want to change my music for others. It’s coming straight out of me and I want people to notice that and hear that from my songs. One of the biggest things I would want to be known for is being vulnerable, and I want to bring that out in other people, as well.” 

Yasmina has already released the first single from this forthcoming project, called “Mornings,” to high praise from industry insiders and fans alike. And now she’s following that up with the second single from the EP, which shares the name of the project “Moon.” The ethereal EDM vibe serves as the foundation for her spiritual journey, and the lyrics give audiences an inside peek into who she is as a woman and a person. 

“I was reading about Selene and how powerful her feminine energy is,” Yasmina said. “I loved her story and wanted to use that in the song. I just started writing from the heart, and next thing I know it was there. It’s pretty poetic, and there are a lot of hidden messages behind the lyrics. I consider myself a pretty spiritual person and I like to use a lot of spirituality in my songs. I like to use a lot of deeper messages and bring out that spiritual view of things, while also offering healing and sharing with others the vibe it brings to me when I sing it.” 

“Moon” is currently available to stream on all major platforms.

MrMuLa – Off Da Flo

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music

 

MrMula is all about focusing on yourself with new single ‘Numbers’ (feat. Icewear Vezzo) 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Growing up facing a variety of obstacles, it was music that brought MrMula to where he is today. Through his love for a vast collection of genres and artists and his own interest in performing, he has worked his way up to releasing tracks and sharing his abilities and views with the rest of the world. Most recently, MrMula has put out the first of two collaborations with fellow Rapper, Icewear Vezzo.  

The first release that MrMula put out with Vezzo is a track called “Numbers”. The song came together when MrMula reached out to Vezzo about working together while both were in LA. Casual interest turned to full-on friendship as the two recorded multiple tracks together. This track is a statement to Bio-Mula’s community, focusing on his second chance at life. 

“I recorded this song a couple of weeks after I was released from what was a total of eight years of incarceration. It’s really a statement to the community and everyone who’s listening. You can have a second chance at life, so go take advantage of it.” Now that MrMula is back in his community, he is taking every chance he can get to do the things he loves. 

To go alongside the track, “Numbers” features a video. The visual provides an interesting and well-matched addition to an already bold track. “We hit up a bunch of the nice spots in Hollywood and downtown LA and really I was just showing (Vezzo) around.” While the two were able to enjoy their location, they put together a brilliant addition to their latest release. 

MrMula wants this track to be about being yourself and doing the things that make you happy. “Don’t worry about what other people think, just focus on you and the things you love to do. That’s what I’m doing from here on out. I’m doing numbers, why they mad at me?” 

Having grown up facing a collection of difficulties and using music to save himself from what could have been a truly self-destructive path, it is amazing to see where MrMula has come from. He has already done so much as an artist, with more already in the works. There is no doubt that MrMula is on his way up. 

To go alongside the two tracks that he is releasing with Icewear Vezzo, MrMula is already working on his debut album, a project called Risk It All Just To Ball. This project, set to release around the end of the year, will be teased with a new release every month. He is also excited for the second release of “OFF Da FLOW” with Vezzo as well as a music video to pair with it.

Be sure to check out Bio-Mula’s music on all streaming platforms and keep up with him on social media for more information about upcoming projects and releases. Links to all of these things can be found listed below.

3Fifs – Season of the Fall

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

History buff uses pain of the past to illuminate ills of the future with lyrical new vibe on fresh single  

PALM BEACH, FL – Many people unfamiliar with the foundation of the United States of America don’t realize that part of the provision of the original Constitution was to marginalize slaves and people of color by only considering them to be equal to three-fifths of a person. It’s a fact of American history that still echoes strongly in today’s culture and society, and as such it’s one of many facets upon which fast-rising Florida-based artist 3Fifs draws through his music. 

The socially conscious rapper brings a burst of energy and entertainment with his catchy grooves and infectious beats. Using the lessons of the past as foundation for challenging and through-provoking lyrics, 3Fifs has been turning heads for the better part of the past decade with his impressive blend of entertaining vibes. Drawing comparisons to legends such as Ludacris and Kurupt, 3Fifs has circled the edges of notoriety since he first burst onto the scene in 2013. That year, the St. Louis born artist was nominated “Freshman of the Year” at the SLUMFEST Awards. A year later, he was one of 14 Us-born artists to perform at Canadian Music Week, and in 2016, he won a songwriters award for his hit single “Blind the Sun.” Since reemerging on the scene in July with a featured verse on the local hit “Do You Wanna,” Fifs’ talents caught the eye of Florida legend Trick Daddy.  

Today, this young hip-hop artist is bringing his unique sound and style to the table with a string of new singles that are creating quite a buzz among a wide variety of audiences. His latest single, “Season of the Fall,” is currently available on all streaming platforms and shares a message of love and loss and betrayal at the deepest level. 

“The whole message of the song is about how sometimes the ones closest to you are the ones who end up stabbing you in the back,” 3Fifs said. “It’s repeating a view of what I’ve seen over the past few years with relationships with people I thought were good friends and kind of the culmination of all that. It was inspired by my cousin who got killed earlier this year by his girlfriend. He and I came into this music thing together and we grew up like brothers. I took a break from music for a while because I ended up getting married and was really focused on trying to take care of my wife and family through the more conventional route. But when he got killed it’s what prompted me to pursue music again. It’s time to make this happen.” 

3Fifs said he hopes people will come to recognize him as an artist who is always real and who relates with others through a wide variety of shared experiences. He said he considers himself to be an everyday guy to whom people can relate, and he wants his music to give people hope and motivation.

Bleezy Bane – No Peace

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Bleezy Bane takes audiences through journey of pain and triumph 

BROOKLYN, NY – Bleezy Bane at 21 years old is an independent artist based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a singer and rapper who draws his lyrics from his experiences at an early age and battles with mental Health. Raised in a mix of New York and Bangladesh, his immigrant roots are showcased in his Hip-Hop. A closer listen offers the biography of a kid who survived sins and consequences before he was old enough to drive. His physical scars are just a reminder for him to acknowledge the pain he survived to finally grab the mic and share his art with the world. 
  

Bleezy Bane and his cousins were early immigrants. Due to various family issues, Bleezy had to spend a majority of his life in a mix of two cities. Bleezy’s older cousins were the ones who raised him for the greater part of his childhood, they often saved their younger brother from the hardest experiences and taught the most important lessons. With a mix of ignorance in his childhood, Bleezy got himself into situations that gradually led to the art that he has dedicated his life to. 

“After my family saw what I got myself into, they forced me to finally attend school. I got admitted on the third grade and I was already older than the other kids and was immediately the black sheep. Everyone already had their groups and the differences in our upbringing were disturbingly clear. Everything went perfect for the first couple years, the change in the environment helped me distract myself from my past but its wasn’t just the scars that stayed from my previous life, it was the demons too. The problems got worse, they say sharing helps but it really didn’t for me. The fear of being judged added onto it. It got worse with every summer vacation due to the amount of time I had to spend alone playing video games and stress-eating, it gradually took over me. I was diagnosed with Comorbid PTSD at age 17 and had to leave school a year before the graduation.  

Bleezy said his music has evolved to embrace a number of different influences – from his home country of Bangladesh to being raised by his cousins from Brooklyn. His sound is influenced from multiple other genres and styles found around the world. He is heavily influenced by artists, Lil Baby and J.Cole. His sound has a unique mix of both Brown and Black.  

Bleezy says “The world hates anyone who brings something new to the table but I am way too proud of myself to let anyone’s judgement affect my sound so better get used to it, I will be here for a while.” His music serves as the tale that begin with the origin of him as an artist and leads listeners through his journey so far. It features two hit singles, ‘Blick Talk’ and ‘No Peace’, which taken together are an excellent example of his diversity as an artist. 

“With ‘No Peace’ I’m both singing and rapping, I’m alone with my thoughts which makes me vulnerable about my feelings,” he said. “With ‘Brooklyn Talk’ I’m showing my skills as an artist while I talk about my life” 

The singles are currently available across all streaming platforms.
