Rapper Bar Lingo releases new single 'Radio'


The Michigan rapper known across the nation as Bar Lingo has released his latest official single, “Radio.” The track has been proudly published on the BreadFyrst Entertainment independent record label without the direction of the corporate music industry. Pumped with bass, old-school power and some of the best lyrics ever to be carved from language, “Radio” by Bar Lingo is easily one of the heaviest-hitting hip hop tracks to emerge in 2016 so far.

Bar Lingo cites as main artistic influences a timeless list of legends. These include Tupac Shakur, Eminem, Scarface, Rakim, Big L, Marvin Gaye, Kool n the Gang, Gap Band, Zapp and Roger, James Brown, and New Edition. His own music has been compared to Mystikal, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube, each of whom would fit perfectly on a mixtape featuring Bar Lingo.

A current official bio from Breadfyrst Ent. describes Bar Lingo's writing clout, saying, “In a day and age where hip hop has been watered down and abased to piss-poor lyrics and mediocre hooks, Bar Lingo is a rarity and a breath of fresh air.”

Hip hop fans who agree that the scene has been hurt by a persistent influx of pop elements and pandering to the lowest common denominator are likely to hear much of what they've been missing in “Radio” by Bar Lingo. With an emphasis on carefully crafted lines and meaningful themes set to rock-solid back beats and creative instrumentation, Bar Lingo's rap tracks are a reminder of what great hip hop can be.

Bar Lingo was born Botney Collins in Muskegon, Michigan, an area he calls “as unpretentious and blue collar as it gets.”

“I was born with music embedded in my DNA,” writes Bar Lingo. “I can’t recall a time when music wasn’t a part of my life. I used to drum on everything around the house. My love of music is incomprehensible; it runs deep through my veins. I’ve wanted to be a musician for as long as I can remember.”

While the heady language in Lingo's music recalls some of the best hip hop ever recorded, the artist himself notes that some people are less enthusiastic about his writing style. He has said that “Guys get intimidated by how rough my bars be without cursing or using explicit content.”

Nevertheless, his fan base grows daily, spurred on by the sheer quality of his tracks as well as by the force of his frequent live performances.

In the end, music by Bar Lingo deserves a listen regardless of what kind of rapper the music fan may usually be listening to, and “Radio” is as good a place to start as any.

The single, “Radio,” by Bar Lingo is available from Breadfyrst Ent. At over 700 online stores worldwide beginning 20 April 2016. Get in early hip hop fans. Very early.

Music distributor MondoTunes announces exclusive Internet radio station


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The music distribution company known as MondoTunes LLC has announced their exclusive Internet radio station, MondoTunes radio. The station will be hosted by MondoTunes and showcase only those artists who have been distributed by MondoTunes worldwide. The station, which is slated for a release in December of 2013, will be the first of its kind to expose musicians directly from their online music distribution company, rather than from music outlets and traditional, DJ-hosted radio programs.

An official short video has been released by the company for public viewing here.

“Our primary goal is to expose our artists’ music to not just new fans, but also our vast network of industry participants,” the official MondoTunes site states. “These include licensing supervisors, major label A&R representatives, national and international booking agents, and artist management firms.”

As the only global music distributor who provides advertisement and professional marketing for their artists, MondoTunes has been quickly surpassing other online distribution companies such as CD Baby and TuneCore to become the favorite of signed and unsigned artists worldwide. Now with the advent of their innovative MondoTunes radio station, artists will garner more visibility than has been previously available to them through official channels, their options having been limited to self-promotion through sites such as YouTube and SoundCloud.

MondoTunes artists will be able to place their music in circulation on MondoTunes Radio for 3.99 USD per month, and will keep 100% of their rights and ownership, as has been Mondo's policy since their inception. Artists played on MondoTunes Radio will receive real-time statistics for their plays, such as daily and monthly numbers, and how many times their tracks have been marked “favorite” by listeners. Links will be provided on the radio to featured music for purchase.

MondoTunes Exclusive Radio will become available for public listening December 2013 / January 2014.
