It has been proudly published on the Sound Rage Records independent label without the involvement of the corporate music industry.

Los Angeles's Vanguard the Blacklight cites as main artistic influences Quincy Jones, Jimmy Jam & Terry Luis, Kraftwerk, O'Bryan Burnette II, and Herbie Hancock.

Colored with shadowy overtones and featuring both old-school synth and contemporary studio frills, “Mind Flight Part 1” by Vanguard the Blacklight is a sound to behold.

Asked to describe the overall meaning of “Mind Flight Part 1,” Vanguard the Blacklight writes simply: “It doesn’t matter where you came from – it only matters where you end up.”

Vanguard the Blacklight's current official bio describes him as an LA native who “developed a passion and ear for music growing up in an industry that continues to thrive on creativity and diversity.” It goes on to note that he “honed his craft behind the scenes working alongside music visionaries as a

musician, DJ, and music producer.” Today, Vanguard the Blacklight also works in his studio as a sought-after sound designer and music composer for motion pictures.

“With his knowledge of music and guided by his faith,” his website says, “Vanguard continues to evolve his sound through hip-hop, R&B- and jazz-driven music that is rooted in rhythmic positivity.

Vanguard aspires to advance his art form to the world by sharing and refining the art of music with his keen sense of melodic nuance, leaving listeners to revel in his love for music.”

“I don’t make music to get rich,” Vanguard the Blacklight says. “I make music to touch people's

heart and soul.”

F E R G U S O N releases new album 'From the Door'

The songwriter and producer of hip hop known as FERGUSON has released his latest official LP album, “From the Door.” The album contains 14 original FERGUSON tracks for an approximate total listening time of just under an hour. It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Stone Table Music Group record label. A gritty, true set of tales from the urban way of life, “From the Door” showcases FERGUSON as one of the most intriguing hip-hop artists of the year so far and promises that we can expect plenty more in the years to come.

“This album has not a lot of fiction but my life growing up and surviving the streets of Brooklyn,” FERGUSON writes.

Brooklyn, NYC's FERGUSON (often stylized “F E R G U S O N”) cites as main artistic influences Samuel Harris, his grandfather (“for the great collection of music we listened to”), Rakin, Big Daddy Kane, Tupac Shakur, and Jay Z. FERGUSON's own sound takes elements from each of these and adds something fresh and unique for a result unlike anything today's music fans have heard before. With an emphasis on rhymes, beats and bass lines, “From the Door” by FERGUSON has a little something for every avid hip-hop listener.

“From the Door” was produced by FERGUSON and CMT Miraculous.

Commenting on the overall meaning of “From the Door,” FERGUSON says, “It shares a gift with word play, smooth but rugged voice and vocals. That I never give up or gave up. That I am a very colorful personality. It says the ladies will be pleased that I am here, and that I'm consistent. I love what I do, and don't think it's sweet.”

Asked to describe his start in music, FERGUSON writes, “My close friends had a group, MADSTYLE. They gave me the opportunity to shine on their album, 'Redrum.' Moving in the Madstyle circle, I then hooked up with Sting International and worked on my first project.”

FERGUSON has worked in various capacities with popular artists such as The Masterful CMT Miraculous, Shaggy, Ziggy Marley, D'Wyze of the B.U.M.S, CPO Boss Hogg, RBX, and the Sting International label. FERGUSON also published a feature on the movie soundtrack, “Showtime,” starring Eddie Murphy and Robert Dinero.

“There's always truth in my songs,” FERGUSON writes. “Even if it's a story from me, it's a truth about you!”

“From the Door” by FERGUSON on the Stone Table Music Group label is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, hip-hop fans.

Rapper Hanuman releases debut LP 'Nirvana'

The West Coast rapper known as Hanuman has released his long-awaited LP record, “Nirvana.” The album contains 11 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of half an hour. It has been proudly published on the Blue Lotus Ent. independent label outside the control of the corporate music industry. Thumping, grooving, and packed with rock-solid rhymes and lines, Hanuman's “Nirvana” debut proves him to be a hip-hop force to be reckoned with.

Originally from CA's Bay Area music hotbed, Hanuman cites as main influences Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Guru (Gang Starr), Common, early Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Immortal Technique. Music fans familiar with these hip-hop titans will recognize the artist's good taste, the same good taste on which “Nirvana” is built.

Hanuman's seemingly innate understanding of what will sound best pervades every track, from the tone of each percussion instrument to the careful space between each beat, and from the deliberate choice of every lyric to the natural, unpretentious flow of his delivery. “Nirvana” has plenty of variety between the tracks, but each of them is as good as the last. Fans of Hanuman are not likely to pick favorites, and if they can do so, their favorites are likely to change. This is that kind of record.

Hanuman takes his name from the Hindu god of the same name, just as his debut LP takes its name from the Buddhist and Hindu concept of attaining reunion with the godhead. There's a positivity in his music that makes these titles fitting.

“There's always good in the bad,” Hanuman writes of the themes of his record. “No matter how bad things are you can rise above it.”

Philosophical ideas often crop up in his rap, too.

“Some things can't be understood unless you experience it personally,” he writes. “Your actions create your reality. There's a lot of gray in certain human beliefs. We're all connected, even if we don't realize it.”

Hanuman has lived in Oakland, around the Bay Area, in Los Angeles, in Las Vegas, and in the northern California town of Alturas where his rap career began.

He tells it, “I basically hit the ground running late 2010 with the writing, finishing a mixtape and an EP. I finished four more mixtapes and four more EPs by December 2014. I worked on my debut album all of 2015.”

Hanuman's plans include music videos, promo shows, radio interviews and features, as well as ground-level street promos. With the top-shelf quality of this record, there's nothing stopping him from taking it much, much further.

“Nirvana” by Hanuman is available online worldwide at over 700 digital music stores now. Get in early. Very early.

David Crown releases single 'Rehab'

The singer of hip-hop infused electronic dance music known as David Crown has released the second in his pair of newest singles, “Rehab.” It has been concurrently published by Crown in February 2015 alongside his “Girls” track, both of which are being proudly published as independent releases without the support of the corporate music infrastructure. An official video for “Girls” is expected to appear from Crown online in coming weeks. Packed with drum 'n' bass, cutting-edge EDM effects, and the arresting vocal performance of one of the dance scene's most rapidly rising stars, “Rehab” is a track DJs around the world can begin to spin immediately.

David Crown's characteristic knack for crossing hip hop with electronic dance music is perhaps showcased nowhere better than it is in “Rehab.” Vivifying, innervating, and sure to amp the vibes of party goers in virtually any situation, the track is the latest sign that the EDM juggernaut hasn't slowed down one iota since its sudden leap to prominence in the mid- 2000s.

Unlike many EDM songwriters and performers, however, David Crown takes pride in crafting meaningful, sculpted lines and rhymes which have more in common with rap music than to the more-simplistic singing which often accompanies electronic dance music. In this, “Rehab” makes a fine example, as it is not a song about drugs and rehabilitation but rather a romantic ode to a woman who acts as a rehab of the heart for the singer of the song.

This emotional intensity is something Crown's fans have come to love him for.

His official bio says of this, “With his appreciation for life, Crown believes that time is of the essence and lives each day like it’s his last, which manifests in the lyrics he delivers and his spur-of-the-moment lifestyle.”

Commenting on his lyrical content and humble nature, it continues:

“A true artist on the come-up, Crown is committed to bringing fans uplifting material with substance that is still cool enough to make you dance. While his star may be rising, he is still that guy hailing from the 'City of Kings' who went after his dreams and never gave up.”

“Rehab” by David Crown is available online worldwide. Be sure to watch also for his “Girls” single and upcoming video.
