What I'm Watching: Chels "The Lesson" feat. Ace Boogie

I remember when I was first introduced to Chels music. There was something raw within those early tracks that was sent over. Underneath it all, I knew there was a great deal of talent. You could definitely hear that on her True School For The Moon Children project. And you can hear/see that in the visuals for The Lesson featuring Ace Boogie. I dig it. Enjoy the music. Chea!

@KirbyLauryen Signs With RocNation

"Thank You Beautiful People." -Kirby

Yesterday, a few hours before she publicly made her announcement, Kirby Lauryen hit us behind the scenes with some exciting news about the next phase of her singing/songwriting career. She had signed a RocNation Publishing Deal and wanted to thank our team for supporting her and her A Song A Day series. We're incredibly happy for her and it's been our pleasure to stand by and support Kirby. And we'll continue to support her too.

We started this site with the intentions of putting folks on to talented people. There have been times during Kirby's series that folks would hit me up and be like, "Q, why y'all ride so heavy with Kirby?" My response was always the same, "because she's talented." Not because she had come with co-signs. Not because she had thousands of youtube views. Not because she hit us with the sneak tip payola. It was all about talent. And with that talent, determination and prayer, Kirby's dreams have come true. Can't help but to be proud of her and that.

As Kirby begins the next phase, she takes to her youtube page to thank her fans and takes us back to the beginning of her A Song A Day journey.

Kirby, again, congratulations.

What I'm Watching: Bitches Is Crazy "Yo Soy Widdit"

The more music they record, the more videos they release, the more I really appreciate how these guys have grown and continue to grow. Folks are often surprised I fux with the NYC collective Bitches Is Crazy, but I dig what they do. Sue me. Peep the latest, produced by Spvce. Oh and parts of this vid I'd deem NSFW. Ha!

Wally Left "How It Be"

For his next release, North Carolina spitter Wally Left breaks down "How it Be," analyzing the power of his words and his determination to carve a niche in the rap game with his ability to rap. The beat from Yontz serves as a perfect soundbed for Wally's helter-skelter flow that dances around it effortlessly. As Wally and the rest of his No State Backgammon Gang brethren remain hard at work to provide their next individual projects, this release should serve to tide the fans over.
