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.

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.”

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.

Coach KG offers inspirational message to the masses with new single ‘Mission’ 

SEATTLE, WA – For most of his life Kevin Lee Green has been someone others could count on for guidance and help. He’s been a coach to many people – both literally and figuratively. And so it makes sense that the music from Coach KG would be uplifting and motivational in ways that inspire others to chase their dreams and make the most of their lives. His latest single “Mission” is a perfect example of that.  

The first track off a forthcoming mixtape called “Time Will Tell,” it’s a song that offers the world an inside look at his life in hopes that others would see his trials and triumphs and use his story as a way to make positive decisions for themselves. It’s a story that starts on the streets of Memphis, where he grew up as a standout athlete while also struggling with hustling in the neighborhood. Watching the OGs in his neighborhood inspired him to be more successful, but a series of bad choices got him in trouble. Eventually he moved all the way across the country to Seattle, Washington, and started a new life.  

“This song is about me trying to find my way through Seattle after coming from Memphis,” Coach KG said. “I know I’ve got a purpose. Music has always been one of my loves, and I’m believing in that right now. I’m on a mission. I gotta get it. I remember messed up days – my father, Kevin Lee Green Sr., was in an unsolved homicide in late 2020 – but I’m not dwelling on those messed up days. I’m looking for better days.” 

“Mission” features a nice, smooth, steady tone with a bit of a Memphis feel to it. It’s a song that shows off his unique sound and style – a style that was inspired by some of his favorite artists in the game, such as Yo Gotti, 8Ball, MJG, and Rod Wave, who KG said is the reason he decided to pursue music professionally in the first place.  

“When I first started I didn’t know how to record, and I looked at some of his stuff,” KG said. “I record better with just me and the engineer, just like him. I create Trap music and Drill music, but also music for women and people who are just having a bad day and can’t find no luck. I want to touch on all things in the industry, and I want people to understand that Coach KG is versatile.” 

In addition to music, Coach KG has also started his own shoe company and youth training program called KG Urban Athletics. He’s making a splash on the music scene in big ways, and will follow up “Mission” with two more singles on June 12 and June 26.

Young artist encourages audiences to embrace today with new EP ‘Free Energy’

ORLANDO, FL – DayToday Craze is a new up-and-coming artist from Orlando whose new single “Complaints” is the perfect introduction to his unique sound and style. Already in his young career he’s an artist who has opened for Lil Boosie and Lil Webbie, and he’s also rubbed shoulders with his hero 50 Cent and MMG’s Gunplay. His energy as a rising artist is electrifying and unmatched, and couples with a warm and welcoming approach that connects with a wide audience. He passionately strives to be the new leader for the next generation, and his music serves as an influential vehicle for that leadership.  

With “Complaints,” DayToday Craze offers fans a real Pop-type vibe with a dancehall feel with tons of energy. It’s ready-made for the clubs or for summer parties, or even just for hanging out with friends on the back porch or around the pool. But that doesn’t mean it’s a song with shallow lyrics. In point of fact, the song has deep meanings that will give listeners something much more poignant to grab onto.  

“The idea was to create a song that brought feel-good energy but still allowed you to feel that rhythm that makes you want to move,” he said. “It’s vibrations that come with a message. I was thinking big when I made the song – like worldwide. It has that international feel because I’m not trying to be miniscule with anything I’m doing. And this has a message that I think anyone in the world can connect with.” 

Ultimately, the song is about a woman who has everything she could ever ask for, but she still complains about the things that make her unhappy. DayToday Craze said he hopes people will listen to it and learn to appreciate the blessings they have in their lives and stop looking for the greener grass on the other side of the hill.  

In addition to “Complaints,” DayToday Craze has also dropped an EP called “Free Energy,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. It’s a conglomerate of songs that present different energy in a variety of ways. The songs on the project invite listeners to dance, or vibe out, or just chill, in various ways. DayToday Craze said they embrace the vibrations that people are surrounded by and the spiritual things we come across in our day-to-day lives.  

“I wanted to embed that feeling into all the songs on the EP,” he said. “Every day is something new – a new high or a powerful new moment. I don’t live in tomorrow or yesterday, I live in now. And what we can do now to make a change for tomorrow and better days for the future is what my music is all about. It’s bigger than merely being a hype guy or someone who makes good vibrations. I want my music to remind people that they still have now. Yesterday is over with, and you don’t have to worry about tomorrow, because right now is important.” 

DayToday Craze said he plans to follow up his EP with a full album called “Closed Circuit” later this year. Until then, he plans to drop some videos for the singles on the EP.

Ivoree Xavier parlays success with NBC’s ‘The Voice’ into successful career, launches hot new single ‘Wish you Well’ 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Many people can relate to the experience of just being over someone they used to be infatuated with. All of that passion and desire somehow goes away – oftentimes fading slowly over time, but in rare occasions flashing away in an instant. But there’s always a moment of clarity when you realize you’re over them, and in some cases you’re so over them that you don’t even want to wish them well. 

That’s the sentiment captured perfectly on the new single from West Coast artist Ivoree Xavier. His new hit “Wish You Well” is an upbeat Pop groove with a little bit of aggression in it. Paired with a stellar music video shot at the Museum of Dream Space in LA and Tiger Lab Studios in Van Nuys, the song and its visuals evoke a vibrant display of emotions. The video is so over-saturated with color, in fact, that already its getting buzz for its audaciousness, and compared to big hits like Rihana and Calvin Harris’ “This is what you Came for.”  

“The exhibit at the museum is one of those art exhibits with different rooms and different installations,” Ivoree said. “The video is me interacting with those installations and dancing around, almost like you’re taking the journey with me through this relationship that ends with you finally realizing how over them you are. You’re so over them that you don’t want to wish them any type of well. You’re just over them – like, ‘F*ck you bitch! This is stupid!’” 

“Wish You Well” is just the latest hit from this young star who has already made a major splash on the national stage after auditioning for NBC’s “The Voice” on two separate occasions. Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, Ivoree began singing at a young age and fondly remembers the times when he and his family would ride around in the car singing together. He has developed his voice into a powerhouse, mastering the full vocal range – from falsetto to bass – and enabling him to mold any genre to his own unique sound and style. Inspired primarily by Pop, R&B, Soul and Rock, Ivoree brings a fresh perspective through his music. His debut project – formerly under the stage name Beedabee – has amassed more than 1 million streams and has landed him a feature on the Reuter’s sign in Times Square. As his journey in music continues, he’s ready to take things to the next level. 

“Without music, I know I wouldn’t be here today,” he said. “If not for certain songs or artists, I would have ended up in a different place. I want to be that voice for others who are going through certain situations, and I hope they can turn on one of my songs and realize it’s all gonna be OK.”

Old-school Hip-Hop meets new-school sound on impressive new project from Chicago rapper VI The Boss 

CHICAGO, IL – The things people will do for money can sometimes be so despicable that they would make most people cringe. There’s even a passage in the Bible that warns against the love of money, calling it “The Root of all Evil.” That’s also the title of the new EP from Chicago rapper VI The Boss. The six-song project that’s currently available across all streaming platforms is an exploration of the crazy things people will do to get ahead, and the consequences that come from a life lived in pursuit of the next dollar. 

VI The Boss is an artist who brings back the old school style with a modern twist. Over the course of his career he’s established himself as a big player in the music industry. Already well-known in his local scene, VI The Boss is expanding to new audiences with his mainstream appeal. Both timely and timeless, his rhythmic beats are layered with catchy lyrics and clever wordplay. He incorporates hip-hop and R&B vibes with his melodic raps, resulting in tracks that bump. 

“If you actually listen to my music, I’m saying something,” he said. “This day and age you can say whatever you want to – anybody can rap – but what I bring to the table is rare. I got some little fun vibes and I harmonize and stuff like that. I’m also a boss … legitimately. I own three LLCs and have my own clothing line company and my own record label and my own recording studio. I’ve got a lot of things going on right now, and this new project is just the tip of the iceberg.” 

VI The Boss is setting himself apart from the new age. With a variety of songs in his impressive catalog, he is bringing back familiar topics with a fresh perspective. His music is relatable, honest and real. VI writes from the heart, taking the lessons he has learned and redistributing his wisdom to the masses. VI The Boss is ushering in the next generation of sound with his urban pop. His artistry and craft have evolved, and his sound appeals to today’s younger generation with feel-good club music.  

Take the standout single “Issues,” for instance. As the debut single from the EP, the song talks about betrayal and snitches and the consequences that come from back-stabbing your brother. Produced by Riffe God, it’s the perfect song to show the world how this veteran of the game is bringing a new sound to the industry. He follows that with “I Need You,” which has more of a trap vibe underneath a love ballad. Both songs are just the entry point to a project that brings a powerful new sound to the stage. 

“Ultimately I want my music to be known for being inspirational,” VI said. “If I can do it, you can do it. I came from nothing – I was literally sleeping in staircases – and look at where I’m at now. You can do the same thing. You’ve just got to stay focused and never give up.”
