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.”

“No Cap” by Prophet J is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, hip hop fans.

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.

“Quarter Milli Marcel” by Pete Myers on the Sudden Peak Records label is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, hip hop fans.
