Allen Lucas fills gap in Hip Hop world with new single ‘Love’ 

LIMA/TOLEDO, OHIO – Allen Lucas has a unique sound and style that can only be described as sophisticated ratchetnessThat describes his personality as well as his signature vibe, which is connecting with music lovers all over the U.S. thanks to his new single “Love.” Combining the eclectic musical influences of his years in the Midwest with the sounds he’s picked up from his travels across the nation, Lucas creates a truly original feel that is equal parts captivating and familiar.  

“I can go to an upscale club or a hole in the wall seamlessly,” Lucas said. “That’s why I call my sound sophisticated ratchetnessI can provide the same point of view no matter where I’m at and connect with people anywhere. I am the boy from off the corner and I’ve seen a few things in my life, but I’m trying to move the culture forward beyond the stereotypes that come with that kind of a background.” 

Over the years, Lucas has spent time in New York, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles developing his own brand of music. His influences range from his roots in Gospel music to the West Coast influences in Hip Hop. He also has a taste of Down South in his sound combined with some upscale New York fashion thrown in.  

“That’s the beauty of being from the Midwest,” he said. “You get all that thrown together into a kind of love relationship of sound and style. That’s the vibe I’m trying to capture on this new single, ‘Love.’” 

Lucas said the song is based off the actions of love, not the emotions. It’s a song that explores a power couple building from the ground up and celebrating their successes over years of working hard on their relationship.  

“It’s not something cheesy,” he said, “but rather something from a real point of view on a power couple and how they move. The inspiration came from me looking at what’s going on and what most people are doing right now in the Hip Hop world and realize that there was a gap for a love song. At the end of the day, I want to create feel-good music, and this song captures that perfectly. I like to feel good, to smile and to be happy and just have good times. ‘Love’ is something that couples can grab onto like it’s their song and in that way, it’s a song that can last forever.” 

Lucas said he worked with J Bos Engineering out of Miami for production work on the song and that he has plans for a music video in the coming weeks. He’s also working on another single to release later this year, and possibly a third in early 2021.

ML Underwood – I Got Work

Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

ML Underwood talks hard work in new single ‘I Got Work’ 

GARY, INDIANA – A man of many talents and lofty goals, ML Underwood is the definition of hard working. His latest single, “I Got Work” is a great example of that. A track that’s focused on working hard and achieving your dreams, this song is the anthem of the year. 

Underwood grew up surrounded by music, whether it was at church, at home or out in the world. Having grown up in the same Indiana town as the family of Michael Jackson, his life was always full of music. “My dad was one of the people that helped the Jacksons raise money to get out on the road and support their career. I got started in music through things like that. I also grew up in a religious household, was in band in school and got to experience a variety of different kinds of music. I played the trumpet and I even sang at school events.” 

Growing up, Underwood was influenced by middle school and high school directors as well as the Rap groups that he participated in, Le Boyz and The Lover Boys. They helped him get to where he is as a recording artist as well as helped to shape his style as a musician. Mrs Hatcher and Mr Phillips, his music teachers in Elementary and High School also helped influenced him in music “Right now, I would define my sound as subtle. It is clean, subtle, sexy and just overall grown.” 

“I Got Work,” the latest track that Underwood has released, has his signature subtle feel to it, but also presents a bigger and much less subtle idea. “The idea of the song is to give people in urban communities a better way to make money than doing it in the streets. I put into the song that your business is your work and that means that your goals and whatever it is that you’re trying to be is your real work. It’s honest work. The title of the song might make you think that it is about making money off of drugs or on the streets, but it’s really the exact opposite. It is about building generational wealth and creating a future for yourself.” 

Though “I Got Work” is Underwood’s latest track, it is far from his last. “I am always getting better and better. My goal is that every song I put out is better than the last. No matter how far I’ve gone, I’ve always got work to do.” 

Underwood is more than just a musician. He has goals of expanding his artistic ventures and already does a variety of work in different industries. This includes founding and running his consulting agency, MyLife Entertainment and establishing the United Prisoner Association, which helps inmates who are wrongfully imprisoned as well as helping young people to turn their lives around. 

“My goal is to go platinum and create a platform for more opportunities for myself and for others. I want to pave the way for other artists in my area so that they can have a fair shot and the chance to make it on their own. Right now, I have relationships and resources that have allowed me to get to where I am, and I hope that when I’m done, I can help young artists down the same path of success.”

ShanEye – Sith Lord Pimp

Outspoken critic of social injustice launches scathing indictment of President Trump on new single ‘Sith Lord Pimp’ 

FORT COLLINS, CO – During a week in which the people of the United States of America are gripped in uncertainty about the future leadership of the country, an outspoken artist from the foothills of Colorado is launching a new single that is vocally critical of President Donald Trump. Shane “ShanEye” Cooper’s latest single “Sith Lord Pimp” is a scathing indictment of the President and uses imagery from the famous Star Wars films to portray President Trump as the equal of a tyrannical Sith Lord.  

“I’m not anti-Republican or anti-conservative,” ShanEye said. “I own a business and I’m all about discussing policy. I’m an open-minded person willing to change my position. But with this presidency, we’re talking about a bad human being who is not representative of the people in this country. He’s tearing away at the institutions that have founded this country. Free elections have shaped the United States, but there has been such a void in leadership over the last four years. We’re not talking about policy anymore, and when you don’t want to accept the results of the election – as Trump has said he will not – then you’re a threat to democracy.” 

ShanEye has been a fixture in the Rock world for more than two decades and is no stranger to music that is critical of social norms or social injustices. He’s one of the lyrical masterminds behind the legendary HeadCrashLungButter, and Peace Officer bands. And for this new single, he’s teamed up with Shadow, a longtime friend and producer for beatzMafiaShanEye disappeared for the better part of a decade only to resurface in the most trying of times with blisteringly critical lyrics and vocal performances that rival his best work. Heavily influenced by the Hip Hop wisdom of Public Enemy and Beastie Boys, and fueled by the Punk Rock political fury of DeadKennedys and BadReligionShanEye is using this first track as a platformto speak
out against what he considers to be the greatest threat to democracy and the greatest con of
the U.S. era: President Donald Trump. 

“I think what I’ve been doing as an emcee over the last 25 years with countless records along the way, attributes to my reflection of the human condition,” ShanEye said. “A lot of what I’ve done has been socially critical, and critical of other things I’ve seen in my life. I create music and speak out against things I see in the world that I think can be improved. That doesn’t make me a negative person. I actually am a guy who sees the glass as half full. I’m constantly optimistic in life and business and relationships. But when I see something I perceive to be wrong in society, I’m gonna say something about it. I make for a very poor innocent bystander. I want to bring innovation and what I’m gonna bring is unpredictable. This is the first single off an upcoming album, and it will not be your typical Hip Hop album. This is one of many pretty critical tracks to come that explores life as we know it. I’ve never been a guy to gloss over anything, and my music is the vehicle for reflecting on the human condition.” 

“Sith Lord Pimp” is currently available across all streaming platforms, and ShanEye said a full album should follow soon after.

Multitalented entertainer Shaila drops uplifting new single ‘SuperQueen 

LOS ANGELES, CA – There’s perhaps never been a more opportune time for a single like “SuperQueen” than there is now. After a year in which so many people have felt an overwhelming heaviness, West Coast artist Shaila wants to offer the world something a little lighter and more uplifting. So with her new single, she’s encouraging people to love themselves a little more and shake off the self-doubt that often comes when looking at the little imperfections of character. 

“This song is just a great reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be loved,” Shaila said. “I wrote it during a time in my life when I had just entered high school and I was around so many different people and my confidence was very low. Singing was my therapy and I wrote this song to encourage myself. It has taken on a life of its own and today, it has more meaning than ever.” 

Like a lot of singers in the U.S., Shaila started singing in church. Her mother was a singer and she would bring Shaila to choir practice regularly. She got her opportunity to join the choir at a relatively young age. Shaila started singing lead in choir when she was 5 years oldrelatively young. The experience was overwhelmingly positive that she decided to make music her career, and she hasn’t looked back since. Over time, she has worked hard to hone in on her signature sound, and she’s become known for creating and singing melodies that are different than what’s in the industry today. Her sound is fresh and seamlessly blends together elements of Pop, R&B and Gospel into one beautiful sound. “SuperQueen” in particular shows off the soulful richness of her voice which has fans all over the world begging for more. 

“Ultimately, I want my music to be about uplifting people,” Shaila said. “I also want it to make them feel good. For myself, music is my escape. If I’m able to take people away from the stress they’re experiencing in their lives and make them feel better about themselves or make them happier throughout the day, then that’s my biggest goal for my music.” 

As Shaila has grown as an artist, she’s discovered a broader range to her entertaining talents. While experiencing success as a musician, Shaila has also had success as an actor and a dancer. She’s performed on Broadway and was a featured singer, dancer and actress on Sesame Street Live. She said some of the music videos she’s planning on releasing in the coming months will display some of her dancing ability.

Twan Luv – The Moment

ME Blog, Music, Promo

 

Smooth rapper, singer and songwriter Twan Luv offers anthem to the world with new single ‘The Moment’ 

CONWAY, SC – Twan Luv is an authentic, smooth-style rapper, singer and songwriter whose music is best known for having a combination of Hip Hop and R&B. His latest single, “The Moment,” is a competitive anthem that’s primed to be one of the hottest tracks ever created, perfect for huge arenas and major sporting events.  

“It’s a song that basically says, ‘I’m made for the moment, whatever it is,’” Twan Luv said. “If I’m in a different moment, I’m made for it. If I want to succeed, I’m made for it. Whatever moment you’re made for, you’re either gonna excel or fold. It could be sports or school or just life in general, there are always moments. And you have to embrace those moments because there’s no guarantee of tomorrow. So, let everyone know you’re made for it and do as much as you can to be ready for it.” 

This upbeat anthem is yet another successful track from this fast-rising East Coast artist. Known for his versatility and ability to both sing and rap, Twan’s genuine flow has been turning heads for the better part of the past two years as he’s steadily risen through the ranks of the music industry. His musical influences are Lil Wayne, Trey Songz, Drake, Jodeci and Nipsey Husssle – all of whom can be heard in one way or another across Twan’s music. But those are just influences and they don’t take away from the fact that this young artist has a sound and style that’s uniquely his own signature. Some have called him a lyrical genius, while others have said he’s the perfect crooner to be a ladies man. For Twan, he hopes his reputation becomes tied to good vibes and spreading love around the world. 

“That’s what I want more than anything, that people get from me love, like my name,” he said. “I’m not hating or dissing, just love. That’s something we’re lacking in this world today. And when you start spreading love, people will realize that anything is possible. With Faith in God, you can do anything. That’s what I live my life by is faith, God and Love. 

Following the success of “The Moment,” Twan Luv said he’s planning on doubling down on love music with his new EP “Luver Day,” which he plans to drop in February 2021 close to Valentine’s Day. It’ll be a project that features a mixture of Party Music, Soul and R&B, he said, with vibes that will connect with a wide range of audiences.  

“I want people to feel as if I’m in any situation with them,” he said. “And I want them to know that whatever I’m saying can help them get to that next level in their lives.”

Kushy Carlito – Superbad

Kushy Carlito drops anthem with new single ‘Superbad 

LOS ANGELES, CA – From the gritty streets of Los Angeles by way of Compton comes Kushy Carlito, an up-and-coming artist and entertainer who is primed to take the game by storm. 

Emerging onto the scene with his “kushy” flows and witty wordplay, Kushy Carlito delivers an array of records that portray tales of the struggle. With his transparent and sometimes painful lyrics, Kushy sheds light on issues in the community while also motivating others to “get that money.” His latest single “Superbad” is a feel-good anthem for all the hustlers of the world.  

“It’s one of those motivational tracks that you can have fun with,” he said. “It’s an upbeat, party kind of song. But it also shows my more laid back vibe when I rap. I’m trying to be more positive with my music, and I think my messages make me stand out more than anything else.” 

Kushy said that though he’s moving toward more of a positive image and message through his music, he can’t deny that the street life is survival of the fittest. But he’s come to recognize that every day is a blessing in and of itself, and he wants to bring that hopefulness to his music. He also wants to show other people living in the struggle that there is a way out of poverty and that pit of violence and crime – a way that’s healthy and honest.  

“I’m musing my music to take my following along for the ride,” he said. “Money is the motive, as with anything else. Growing up in the hood, the youth seem to go down the same road to gain their riches – selling drugs or hitting house ‘licks.’ I often found myself caught up and eventually suffering the consequences of my foolish decisions. But I’ve decided to make some changes. With a 9-to-5 grind, I use my hustlers mentality to fuel my real dream, which is music.” 

Kushy said some of his biggest influences are Nipsey Hussle and Kendrick Lamar. When he decided to take music seriously and pursue it as a career, he studied those two artists relentlessly. He took those lessons and began putting in the work to master his craft with only one goal in mind: “Be your own boss.” 

“That’s what ‘Superbad’ is ultimately about,” Kushy said. “I’m trying to create music that makes people change their mindsets or look at situations in different ways. I’m also trying to create something that’s gonna help them relax and just kick back and enjoy.” 

Kushy said that following the release of “Superbad”, he’ll be working on shooting videos for some of his singles and said fans should be looking for a new single called “Movie” within the next couple of weeks.

ISO-O – Make It

Blog, ME Blog, Music

R&B anthem ‘Make It’ from ISO-O serves as perfect vibe for the Fall 

TORONTO, ONTARIO – ISO-O is about to make it big in the music industry with his latest hit single “Make It.” Currently available across all streaming platforms, “Make It” is the perfect R&B vibe for the Fall. Soft, melodic, and inspired by the ambitions of a dreamer, this single not only relates to all those in the world who have ever longed for something but also serve as a kind of anthem for those who finally realize their dreams. 

“Yes, it’s a song about making it in the music industry but more than that, it’s a story of how far I’ve come over the years and getting to a place where I really can say that I’ve made it,” ISO-O said. “I’ve been through a lot just to be able to say that, and this song is that vibe that captures that triumphant feeling.” 

ISO-O said his unique sound and style could best be described as melodic trap. He said his versatility is the best trademark of his signature style, boasting that he has “a thousand flows” that he can pull off with any and every beat from any genre imaginable. 

“If there’s a soft R&B beat or a hard Trap beat, I can still use my unique flows,” he said. “I’ve got so many melodic flows – new flows with new melodies or old school flows. More than anything, I want my music to be known as fire. If you see an ISO-O song, you know it’s gonna be heat. And when it comes to most songs, I try to aim for anthems – those huge tracks where crowds of people are screaming and yelling. I’m very good at making good hooks with catchy, melodic choruses that get stuck in your head but you love it.” 

Part of what makes ISO-O so great is his dedication to his craft. He is constantly working on new rhymes and writing new flows, which is illustrated on the cover art for his new single by featuring a trashcan filled to overflowing with wadded up paper balls. 

“I wanted to capture the idea of perfection because that’s what I want for my music,” he said. “I’m constantly revising and trying again and again until that perfect idea is crafted. I’m like that superstar basketball player who always gets an isolation play and puts defenders on an island because he can always beat them one-on-one. I feel like I’m an isolator. Not only have I felt isolated and alone in my life doing my own thing and chasing what I believe in. But if I were to put you on an island when it comes to music, it’s over.” 

ISO-O said “Make It” has been making waves in the music industry for much of 2020 with tons of plays across all streaming platforms. He said he’s looking forward to giving fans new music in early 2021, as well.

Hollowed B. – K. O.

Blog, Industry Spotlight, ME Blog, Music, Promo

Hyped up anthem ‘K.O.’ helps put NY artist Hollowed B. on the map 

BUFFALO, NY – Picture the next heavyweight champion of the world walking out to the ring for his next big bout. There’s a song playing in the arena as he walks down the aisle. It gets him hyped up. It gets you hyped up. It gets the entire auditorium hyped up.  

That song could be the new single from New York artist Hollowed B. called “K.O.” Filled with energy and superfast flow, the song is the latest from this fast-rising artist whose unique sound and style is lighting up the music industry all along the East Coast. It’s a song that perfectly represents who he wants to be as an artist, embracing both a versatility and an attention to detail that when combined makes him a truly standout superstar. 

“You’ll get three different styles throughout the whole song which I think shows I’m truly adaptive to any sound,” Hollowed B said. “I’ve got multiple styles that I use frequently. From the wordplay to the tempo to the speed to the lyrics, you’ll be able to tell it’s me as soon as you hear the first note.” 

Repping what he calls a dual citizenship in the 716 to the two cities he calls home – Buffalo and Dunkirk – Hollowed B. has a very unique sound that finds its influences in artists such as BustaRhymesKendric Lamar, Tek-9, Tupac, and Biggie. There’s also a Twista kind of a speed to his flow, and a 2Chainz or Snoop Dogg smooth flow on some other singles.  

“My music is real, bluntly honest and 100 percent mine,” he said. “I work hard in the studio and usually everything is produced, mixed and mastered by me. I write a lot of songs across all genres and I just want to be known for creating great music – timeless, long-lasting music. That’s what I want my name to be known for. I want to create something close to perfection in music because to me it’s more than just music. There’s a message in every one of my songs.” 

Following the success of “K.O.,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms, Hollowed B. said he’s planning on dropping a new single every month which is something he’s been doing for the past five or six months. Along the way, he’s been on the Coast2Coast Mixtape Tour and recorded close to 1,000 songs.

Morgan Mowinski & A2 – Rainy Days

ME Blog, Music, Promo

R&B and Pop pair with future-sounding production 
on new EP from Morgan Mowinski and A2 

FLINT, MI – A new EP from Michigan R&B artist Morgan Mowinski and producer A2 perfectly captures the ethereal feeling of 2020 and the liminal space in which so many people find themselves during this time of “Temporary Isolation.” With an otherworldly blend of A2’s distinct style and Mowinski’s truly original vocals, “Temporary Isolation” is the kind of groundbreaking project that will have fans all over the world begging for more.  

The debut single from the project is a song called “Rainy Days.” The definitive R&B feel of the track showcases a Pop-infused vocal from Mowinski that has an ethereal quality that soars over the top of the synthesized 808s. With interchangeable syncopated rhythms and sultry vocals, the song offers a light and airy groove that makes anyone listening want to sway and immediately puts them in a mellow mood. 

“All of the songs on the EP were put together during quarantine and collaborated on from a distance,” Mowinski said. “It’s a unique project that can’t be duplicated with its original style. Essentially, we’re exploring what it’s like to be in quarantine and the experiences we had during that time. And through that we want to relate it to everyone else’s experience this year.” 

The two artists have known each other for the past couple of years and have had the opportunity to work on other projects together. But Mowinski said this EP is the most in-depth collaboration they’ve had and as such, it required a great deal of back-and-forth communication and attention to detail. A2 would create loops or new beats and send them to Mowinski who would write and send back her own ideas. Through that unorthodox collaboration, the two were able to create something that’s truly unlike anything that has ever come before.  

“I feel that we do have a very different sound, though it’s kind of hard to explain,” Mowinski said. “I’m an R&B and Pop artist but I have a different way of going over a beat than other people would, I think. I’m very personal and open with music. Whatever I’m feeling, it’s 150 percent in the song. You know how I feel or what I was feeling at the time I wrote it. I’m very vulnerable with the music and I want to connect with people that way. Connecting and bringing people closer together is 100 percent what I want to do. When you hear one of my songs, I want you to be able to relate to it. That’s what I did with music when I was growing up. Whether I was sad or happy or whatever, I always related to a song or some piece of music, and I want other people to feel that way, too.” 

A2 also said he takes a different approach when producing, which he thinks adds another layer of originality to their combined sound. 

“Every song I do, I always stack four parts – kind of like the Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass – across everything,” he said. “It could be instruments or vocals or whatever. That makes the sound more full and helps to create that kind of pyramid of sound. Then I build everything from that foundation. I like futuristic, space-sounding music, but I like to make it sound different than anybody else’s music today. And with drums I also go for a newer sound and try to use more synthesizers or truck leads. ‘Temporary Isolation’ is a great example.” 

As Mowinski and A2 continue to ride the wave of success from their new EP and the debut single, they’re also already working on a new song that should come out in December or January.

Ric-a-Sha – Black Latina

ME Blog, Music, Promo, Videos

Ric-a-Sha taps into ‘street spiritual’ sound with new single ‘Black Latina’ 

TAMPA BAY, FL – Ricardo “Ric-a-Sha” Stuvaints is an artist who has risen from the depths of one of the darkest cities in the U.S. and overcome multiple near-death experiences to become one of the industry’s most promising young entertainers. Originally from McKeesport, Pennsylvania – dubbed the fourtmost dangerous city in the nation – Ric-a-Sha has lived a life most only read about in stories. He literally dodged bullets as a teenager on multiple occasions before eventually getting shot five times in 2016. And though music was always a mainstay of his life, the shooting in 2016 changed everything for him and convinced him to change his life. He turned to music as a career, and hasn’t looked back since.  

“I come from a rough background and I was not always living the right life. But when I got shot, it changed everything for me,” Ric-a-Sha said. “When I got discharged from the hospital, I was basically homeless, and if I had gone back to being homeless in that condition, it would have been crazy. I would have died. But a man who I consider to be one of the best men on earth, Mr. G, was there when I woke up and he saved my life. He paid for my flight to go to Dallas and he helped me realize my career as a musician. That’s when I did the ‘Youngin Thuggin’ video, and everything kind of fell into place after that.” 

Eventually, Ric-a-Sha would make his way to Florida where he’s been writing and recording music ever since. His latest single, “Black Latina,” has been making waves throughout the industry since its release last month across all streaming platforms. Showcasing his vocal range and one-of-a-kind flow, “Black Latina” is the kind of sultry song with which every man in the world can connect. 

“It’s a love story about this beautiful Dominican girl,” Ric-a-Sha said. “When I was 19-years-old, I was in a relationship with a Dominican girl from the Polo Grounds. We went on a few dates and on one particular date, I just really felt like I wanted to be with her. She was something else and it was an awesome experience for me. Every man has a woman like that in his life, and she was the motivation behind this song for me.” 

Ric-a-Sha said the song demonstrates a unique sound and style that he calls “street spiritual.” It’s a signature style that he hopes to become known for as he continues to spread his music around the world. Since his awakening following the shooting in 2016, Ric-a-Sha has committed himself not only to becoming a better man but also to giving back to his community. While he was in Dallas, he worked at Soul For Christ Ministries and has continued to volunteer at various nonprofit organizations and ministries 

“I’ve basically been going through six years of change, but most of it over the past four years since I was shot,” he said. “Over that time, I’ve embraced this idea of street spiritual. That’s my mantra. It’s my motivation. And it’s my movement. That’s what I’m all about, and that’s what I want my music to be about, too.”
