[NEW] IN VIDEO// TESS ” LUV U 4 LIFE”

Published by abryant on Monday, September 13, 2010 at 5:28 am.

Tess—a New York native—made a name for herself behind the scenes cranking out background vocals for the likes of Music Soulchild. The not-so newbie has been grinding hardcore and was able to work her music on to radio (New York’s Hot 97) with no album or label support.  Quite the feat. Check out her new video “Luv U 4 Life” directed by Mills Miller.

subRELEASE// Choklate “Overdose” featuring Drake

Published by abryant on Monday, August 30, 2010 at 11:53 am.

Commercial and Indie music unite! Soul singer Choklate releases “OVERDOSE” featuring Drake (ever heard of him?). This unexpected duet  is a great fix for music fans who have been craving for something new. The combination of Choklate’s soulful vocals and Drake’s catchy lyrics is kismet.  Hopefully musically integrating the major and independent sets becomes a trend.

EVENT // Joi to Perform at BK’s “Slum Beautiful”

Published by abryant on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 7:06 am.

WHO: Joi, Monstah Black, Jamila Raegan
WHAT: SLUM BEAUTIFUL: Music From the Gut of Black America
WHEN: Friday August, 13th
WHERE: Brooklyn, NY
WHY: Presented by DJ Lynnee Denise and Wildseed Cultural Group, Slum Beautiful is the bullets of soul that bled from our concrete stoops into rhythmic rivers of grit and grace to become the very baseline of American music. It’s the sound that explodes from our anguish, too large to contain within the brick walls of the typical black American city. Slum Beautiful gets at the essence of our survival – the eternal double consciousness that produces the brilliant Negroid soundtrack for the world – The Soul of Black Folk is Slum Beautiful.
HOW: Crunk meets Rock meets House.

For More Information Log-on HERE
