Prophet J releases new EP album 'No Cap'

The songwriter and producer of hip hop known as Prophet J has released his latest official EP album, “No Cap.” The EP contains 10 original Prophet J tracks for an approximate total listening time of about half an hour. It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry. Smooth yet direct, performed in a mellow groove even when it is aggressive, “No Cap” showcases Prophet J as one of the most intriguing hip hop artists of the year so far and promises that he has plenty more where that came from.

The California Bay Area's Prophet J cites as main artistic influences Young Thug, Playboi Carti, Jay Critch, Lil skies, Lil baby, Gunna, PNB Rock, Lil Uzi, A boogie, UNOTHEACTIVIST, Meek Mill, and NBA Youngboy. Prophet J'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 rhythm, style, and J's unique brand of urban poetry, “No Cap” by Prophet J has a little something for everybody.

Asked to describe the overall meaning of “No Cap,” Prophet J writes, “That you can get out the way, do what you wanna do, take what you wanna take, lead how you want to lead, and leave your mark on the world how you want to. Myself the right way. It shares that it's my time and it's only going to get better and better.”

Ultimately, though, Prophet J says the meaning is in the music.

“My message is in my flow,” he says, “which I feel the people should like.”

A West Coast kid through-and-through, Prophet J still manages to be a man of the world. He has family in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

Asked to describe himself as a musician, Prophet J says, “I do it for the fans because they everything I got, and I feel I fail if I don't take care of them all at some point in my life. I'm a straight shooter, I don't like to be played with. I'm humble, young, hungry for the challenges and to overcome, and I take no prisoners.”

Humility notwithstanding, Prophet J has no delusions about his rising musical success.

“If you think I won't make it, you're tripping,” he writes. “You should always bet on me. It's a blessing to say I'm even at this point, but I know there's even more to come. I'm confident in that.”

Reggae singer Deyansa releases new single 'Seasons'

The singer of reggae and roots music known as Deyansa has released his latest official single, “Seasons.” Like other recent releases from Deyansa, the track has been proudly published on the Roots12 independent record label without the involvement of the corporate music industry. Empowering, uplifting, and as danceable as his fans have come to love him for, “Seasons” by Deyansa is the latest reason for reggae listeners to come together and feel the riddim.

Asked to cite a few artistic influences, Deyansa doesn't mention famous people or even particular music genres. Rather, he talks about the people and sounds closest to him:

“The Creator, my father, the people who lived in my community and all around the world. I'm a fan of good music.”

The community Deyansa refers to is Clarendon Parish on the south side of Jamaica, just west of Kingston. He is the son of a singer in a musical family, the eldest child among eight. That community widened for him at the age of 13 when he moved to the United States, where, as his current official bio puts it, “his love for music matured to get him heard and played throughout the country.”

By 1993, Deyansa had become a professional musician singing alongside such popular and internationally regarded artists as John Ford and Sir Coxon Dodd. In 2004, he formed Deyansa and the High Roots, who signed to Silver Kamel Audio and recorded “Holding On to Life,” which would come to be nominated for a Grammy Award.

Today, Deyansa makes his home in Brooklyn, NYC. He has been writing and playing his unique blend of R&B and reggae music for more than a quarter century. “Seasons” represents the most prominent single from Deyansa since his 2009 release, “Within.”

Asked to describe the general themes of his new track, Deyansa writes: “My music delivers a different type of message and it all has to do with life and reality, motivating people, giving them hope and a sense of identity leading them on a path of peace, teaching them how to become one with their Creator and how to reject hate and embrace love.”

“Seasons” by Deyansa on the Roots12 label is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, reggae and roots fans. Very early.

Pete Myers releases new EP album 'Quarter Milli Marcel'

The songwriter and producer of hip hop known as Pete Myers has released his latest official EP album, “Quarter Milli Marcel.” The EP album contains six original Pete Myers tracks for an approximate total listening time of half an hour. It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Sudden Peak Records record label. Explicit, aggressive, and packed with boom-bap, “Quarter Milli Marcel” showcases Pete Myers as one of the most powerful hip hop artists of 2018 and promises that we can expect plenty more in the years to come.

W. Virginia's Pete Myers cites as main artistic influences Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Jay Z. Myers's own sound takes elements from each of these and adds a higher-octane delivery, something each of the tracks on “Quarter Milli Marcel” has in spades, for a result unlike anything today's music fans have heard before. Bringing a gritty, true to life narrative, surgically precise beats, and top-shelf urban poetry, “Quarter Milli Marcel” by Pete Myers has a little something for every avid hip hop listener.

Commenting on the overall meaning of “Quarter Milli Marcel,” Pete Myers says, “My album shares a personal connection for the audience to understand how Pete Myers and his alter ego Quarter Milli Marcel are separate but coexist. This project allows Pete Myers to take a back seat while Quarter Milli Marcel gets to drive for a change.”

Pete Myers dropped his first mixtape, “Progress Is the Process,” in 2011. A versatile, comprehensive survey of Myers' talents, “Progess...” contained 21 original tracks ranging from love songs to hardcore rap tracks. He spent the next few years working as a beat producer for indie artists to pay the rent, but soon tired of working in production, alone. Born in New York City and raised in West Virginia, Myers was ready for a change.

“Although he loved his hometown of Bluefield, WV,” his current bio reads, “he knew that to get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done. So with no job, just a goal, a vision and numerous concerns from loved ones, he packed his bags, his laptops and keyboards, and moved to Atlanta, GA, also known as the hip-hop music capital of the world.”

“Quarter Milli Marcel” from Pete Myers is the result.

The songwriter and producer of pop and hip hop known as Telli Stonemen has released her latest official single, “Go Hard,” featuring Gillie Da Kid. The single has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Real Hulk Entertainment record label, home to such East Coast artists as Cheazy Mack and Religion Da God. Melodic, energetic and full of groove, “Go Hard” showcases Telli Stonemen as a singer with a hip-hop heart and pop in her soul who can deliver on several levels at once.

Philadelphia's Telli Stonemen cites as main artistic influences Lauryn Hill, Whitney Houston, Chris Brown, Tupac Shakur, and Bone Thugs N Harmony. She also makes a point of noting her Aunt Vida, mom, dad, and brothers as inspirations, as well. Telli Stonemen's own sound on “Go Hard” has a little reggae in its lyric rhythms, a little Latin verve in its sensual tempo, and a lot of hip-hop style in its overall swagger.

Part of the credit for this must go to Stonemen's featured artist on “Go Hard,” Gillie Da Kid. As “Go Hard” by Telli Stonemen is a duet – something very uncommon in hip hop – Gillie's work beside Telli's shines extra bright.

Commenting on the overall meaning of “Go Hard,” Telli Stonemen says, “This song represents my ambition and the beginning of me pushing forward and never backwards on purpose.”

Asked to describe her start in music, Stonemen writes, “I started really pursuing music in my sophomore year in high school, when I started singing for the school choir.

“By the age of 13 I discovered my gift for rhyming by listening to the radio and making up my own raps from what I listened to. I started getting good at it. By 14 I'd started a group with my childhood friend, Eric, called the Number 1 Rookies and made our first mixtape.”

Mae Scott releases new single 'I Love U'

The songwriter and producer of pop, hip hop and RnB known as Mae Scott has released her latest official single, “I Love U.” The single has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Mae Scott record label. Sultry, classy, and humming with groove, “I Love U” is the newest reason for fans to applaud this rising entertainer from the American south.

In the past, Pittsburgh, PA's Mae Scott has cited as influences Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Aaliyah, and R Kelly. Asking her today brings a different response, however.

“Honestly, I grew up in that MTV era where music videos were everything,” she writes, “but I also grew up on indie music videos, as well, by lesser known channels. Anything that was hot probably influenced me at some point while I was discovering myself. I'm focused now.”

That focus comes from living in a larger world than many people live in. A veteran of the US Army, Mae Scott served a tour in the war in Iraq before attending college where she started her first indie label, Academy Rhyme Time. She performed as a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons while she continued honing her music career. To date, she has already been nominated for a Grammy Award twice.

“My message tells people to find what their culture is,” says Mae Scott, “or what they want it to be personally, then go create that.”

This artistic integrity runs throughout her style.

“Like, you can have your own cake, make it, and eat it too, with the extra frosting and everything,” she writes. “Happy birthday. I enjoy making music uncensored and organically while in my own own space, free and naked. It's time to express whatever I want, and you better remember that!”

Mae Scott's “I Love U” is the most prominent release from the artist since her June 2018 single, “I Can Transform.” That track, too, had similar themes.

“[It's] to not judge yourself and just run wild with your creation without self-imposed limits,” she wrote at the time. “So what if you're nasty? We all are, some of us in front and some of us behind closed doors.”

“I Love U” by Mae Scott on the Mae Scott label is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now.

Trenton, NJ's Mr. Will cites as main artistic influences Jay-Z, Nelly, DMX, Ludacris, and 50 Cent. Mr. Will'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 gritty urban poetry and top-notch studio production, “Don't Run” by Mr. Will has a little something for every avid hip hop listener.

Commenting on the overall meaning of “Don't Run,” Mr. Will says, “'Don't Run' is the warning shot. The game (rap) has been way too nice. It's time to get back to this real sh-t.”

Mr. Will enjoys the individual parts of a track as much as he enjoys the song as a whole. When he makes music, he pays particular attention to choosing his words and phrases.

“I appreciate the sounds, whether it's instruments or vocal tones,” he writes. “I love to hear each sound playing it's part in the overall track. Most importantly, as a writer first, artist second, the lyrics are my main focal point when listening. I want to feel the words and not just hear them.”

Will has performed live in New Jersey, New York, Miami, and Philadelphia, and his music continues to spread overseas.

“I'm getting spins in Germany as well as Spain,” says Mr. Will. “Looking to do a show over there sooner rather than later.”

Asked to describe his start in music, Mr. Will writes, “I wrote my first song attempting to impress my older brother. As a kid I'd sit in his attic room for hours, learning about and listening to all genres of music, hoping one day, it would be my album he'd be mixing on his CD turntables.”

And all along, Mr. Will has been sharpening his craft.

He writes, “I make music as a form of expression. I've been rhyming since I could read. Who knew the children's books my mom would read me before bed would ignite something inside of me?”

Asked for a comment to his fans around the world, Mr. Will says, simply, “What you see is what you get, what you hear is who I am.”

Rocc releases new EP album 'Community Service'

The songwriter and producer of hip hop known as Rocc has released his latest official EP album, “Community Service.” The EP album contains seven original Rocc tracks for an approximate total listening time of 25 minutes. It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Blue Collar Music Entertainment record label.

Long Beach's Rocc cites as main artistic influences Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes, J Cole, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Vince Staples, and Lil Wayne. Rocc's own sound takes elements from each of these and adds something fresh and unique for a result which continues to keep hip-hop fans coming back for more. With an emphasis on wordplay, back beats and rock-solid bass lines, “Community Service” by Rocc has a little something for every avid hip-hop listener.

Neither is Rocc's “Community Service” simple music for it's own sake. The title being more literal than figurative, Rocc makes a point on his new EP to bring socially conscientious songs at a time when many think it's needed more than ever.

“My message is simple,” Rocc writes. “You can come from the hood/ghetto and still end up on top with an intelligent mindset, ready to win. No matter how much we go through in life, as long as you stay focused and positive, nothing can stop you.”

“Community Service” isn't all sunshine and empowerment, however. Rocc has a bone to pick with less sophisticated hip hop, and he picks it.

“In this EP,” he says, I expose the insecurities of the average 'hood nigga' and these uncultured rappers, while providing light solutions that might help some of the problems in the black community.”

Like Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G before him, Rocc also identifies as an artist of the LBC, but one with a mission.

Rocc writes, “The way I see it, Compton has Kendrick – Long Beach needs one.”

Jaz Clemente's current official bio describes them as: “the electro-groove synthesis of sultry R&B, puppy jazz, and swanky '70s disco together with fly-hi keys, dripping harmonies, and funkster guitars. Led by border-child Nemo C, Jaz Clemente songs express a love for oneself, reaching beyond comfort zones, and being a responsible planetarian.”

Transitioning into adulthood and even sometimes as a youth, I was doubted by many people I thought of as close friends and supporters. In order for me to have understood life on higher levels, I had to leave all that doubt and anger behind. This is a motivational project not just for my listeners, but for myself. Never let anyone tell you what you can't do. In the words of my brother, 'Be great.'”

Asked to describe his start in music, Imjustsav writes: “My dad invested into my natural talent musically and got me into a studio at age 14. I taught myself how to play instruments and how to sing and rap. I went into the army at 18 and got out after 3 1/2 years to pursue music. I've worked with a lot of artists in Washington and have built my own brand called Living Legends Ent.”

Today, Imjustsav strives to further his career as a producer. It's not all just for him, though.

“With having my own son at the age of 23,” he says, “it's vitally important for me to invest the same time and energy that was invested into me to 'become great' into him.”
