STILL ONLY SPEAKING Y.O.L.O
Coolidge Ready For Bermuda
Coolidge Ready For Bermuda
After
making a name for himself on the US independent and underground hip hop scenes, Coolidge branched out and extended the reach of his fan base to
include hip hop fans and music lovers in his home country, Bermuda and the buzz has been spreading far
and wide ever since.
Today,
he announced his 2017 tour dates and plans. Not only is he going on
tour with previous successful records like Can I Have Your Number and
Only Speaking Y.O.L.O from his earlier projects, he'll also be
performing some of his newer releases like Bermuda, which was released
last year and he's also got a new single, Passport which is due to be
released around the same time as the upcoming tour. After a successful
summer tour in Bermuda last year, the upcoming tour is being highly
anticipated by his new fans and is expected to be even bigger. Although
he already has a fair-sized catalog of music, Passport will officially
be Coolidge's second internationally released record and his first as a
Bermudian international recording artist.
The tour is scheduled to take place from the 20th of May to the 3rd of June, 2017 in Bermuda.
Passport
will be released earlier on in May and will be available on iTunes,
Spotify and other digital music retailers and music streaming/subscription
services.
In addition to preparing for the new release and rehearsing
for the upcoming 15 day tour, Coolidge is also scheduled to shoot the
video for Passport in Bermuda. Further details and official release
dates for Passport and the video will be available soon.

NOT THOSE CHEEKS, SILLY
DJ's
are still barely recovering from the impact of Job Jetson's single,
Cheeks which was released back in September, 2015 to rave reviews from
critics, fans, music industry experts and press outlets far and wide.
According
to industry insiders, the record was an exceptional club banger that
stood out for its exquisite production, prestine sound quality, and of
course Job's slick vocal delivery
and lyrical prowess. With a minimal, dark, crystal clear soundscape, Job
was able to deliver a mind-blowing listening experience like no other.
Not only did the track do well in Milwaukee, USA where Job hails from
and has now made a name for himself, it also did well across the country
and caught the attention of hip hop fans around the world. "Cheeks" was
written, recorded and produced from start to finish by Job Jetson, and
features another independent artist by the name of Pizzle.
He
quickly followed up with numerous singles back to back, many of which have now reached Gold status based on
today's music industry statistics and have resulted in Job reaching
near superstar status on the underground hip hop music scene. Loyal fans and
industry insiders follow closely and Job is quickly becoming one of the
top names to watch in hip hop.
Though
Job is known to do all his production, songwriting, recording, mixing
and mastering, he has slowly started branching out and collaborating
with other producers and the results are even more outstanding. His
latest single, Diamond Veil was produced by Yung Dev of Honourable
Court, another independent Milwaukee hip hop producer, and the track is already doing good numbers on iTunes and other
popular digital music outlets, but the
prolific rapper isn't stopping yet. He has already announced a new
project which is due to be
released later this week. The new single was produced by Yayo, a young
producer from Atlanta whose clientelle includes world famous hip hop
acts like Birdman, Trouble, RichDaKid and Shad Tha God, just to name a
few. "Don't Play" will be
available to stream and download at popular music retailers, music subscription services and music outlets
including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Soundcloud from Friday, the 7th of
April.

Hannah Gill And The Hours Take New York
Hannah Gill And The Hours Take New York
Before
them, New York was famous for amazing, mouth watering bagels like
nothing you'll find anywhere else in the world and rant enthusiastically
about non-stop for months to come, but since Hannah Gill And The Hours

the region, this sensational, groundbreaking alternative pop duo has
cut records fans doubt they'll ever be able to get out of their heads
and put on the most utterly satisfying, crowd-pleasing shows even world
class acts would be proud about. Even the toughest critics would
struggle to find fault with the band, they are constantly being praised
for their work and fans just can't seem to get enough of them either.
With the amount of buzz they are creating in their hometown, it won't be
long before tourists are leaving the iconic city with I Love Hannah
Gill T-Shirts instead.
In
only a few years, Hannah Gill And The Hours have gone from newbies on
New York's Indie Music scene to being one of the most celebrated bands
out of the region and rising to the top of the list of most watched
independent bands, not just in the US but around the world as well.
Their latest album, The Water still has many of its songs, especially
the single, Austin, on the lips of fans and close to the hearts of DJs
across the country.

LEGENDS LIVE FOREVER
Why Tyam Shakur is carrying forth his father's legacy.
The
Skunk Radio Live Auditions is usually a very eventful and exciting time for The
Skunk Radio Live Hunters. Avid music discoverers and music lovers of all
genres from R&B, Reggae and Hip Hop to Pop, Rock, Country, Folk, Blues, Americana, Electro and
even Classical music come together to collectively discover, celebrate and select the hottest new acts
they would like to see and hear more from, not just on Skunk Radio Live
and all its associated music discovery channels but in the world of
music as a whole. Budding and experienced previously undiscovered acts
of all sorts from around the world turn up to showcase their best works
and there are no limits to the extent of the amazing or not so amazing
music that could be uncovered. It's for this reason The Skunk Radio
Live Hunters, which hopefully now includes YOU never speak of a dull
day.
Why Tyam Shakur is carrying forth his father's legacy.
On
a beautiful sunny afternoon while The Hunters were elbow deep in some
hot new content from musicians around the world, a familiar name
showed up and brought everything to a standstill momentarily. Tyam
Shakur from California, USA, a budding rapper whose heritage guarantees
him immense musical talent and poetic excellence that could only be
matched by Shakespare himself had put out his debut as was eager for the
world to hear it. 20 years after the untimely departure of his father,
the LEGENDARY RAPPER, Tupac Shakur, The Hunters experienced an
innevitable moment of silence as deeply felt emotions and memories
rushed in.
Tyam
created more buzz and excitement during the auditions than anyone has ever
done since it began back in 2012 and his audition still ranks highest till
this day. His audition track, "Feelings" reminded Hip Hop fans and even
lovers of other genres of music of all the qualities good music should
and always has had.
"Feelings
is the rebirth of Hip Hop as we know it - It is passion, pain and
pleasure all mixed into one excruiciatingly honest and refreshing
sequence of sonic vibrations - It is true artistry manifesting itself in
the realities of the current state of the world today - It is poetry
reborn in the heart of a young and vibrant mind - It is soul food as we
know and remember it to be - It is the soundtrack of life itself" - SRL Reviews.
Needless
to say, Tyam's audition was successful in less than a few hours, and
fans - engulfed in a flame of awe and peaceful sense of reassurance,
have been holding on tight to their seats for any news from the budding
LA Hip Hop prodigy ever since. He's currently in the studio working on something
huge.

TARA KYE'S BEAUTIFUL GANGSTAS
After
the release of her latest single, Tortured Love, Canadian singer

Like
most of her previous singles, Beautiful
Gangstas was a big hit with fans. Tara and her longterm collaborator,
John Dean who taught her to play the piano really went all out and
created something truely extraordinary.
They took their distinctive classic rock sound - that passioanate
operatic feel, the deeply moving lyrics, the ominous piano melodies and
guitar rhythms layered over a peaceful ambience and Tara's unmistakable
soft, soothing voice, to a
whole new level - deeper and darker than ever, and with a strong message
that would send chills up even the most dangerous hunter's spine.

GOOD MORNING
The Return of E. Z Lyrical Skitzo
The Return of E. Z Lyrical Skitzo
In
his early days as a rap artist and even up till today, E. Z had hip hop
fans raving wildly like they hadn't done about anything for a very long
time. He was often mistaken for Lil' Wayne of
YMCMB and coincidentally was said to be in talks with Mack Maine, the
CEO of the label at the time, as well as a few other record labels who
had him on their radar.
The
Pennsylvania, US rapper, who started really making a name for himself
on the US hip hop music scene around about 2009 was known for and is
still known for his creative lyricism, slick vocal delivery and his
ability to switch between numerous rap styles effortlessly, and
his very unique production style.
His career began when he teamed up with a local producer named Twizzle, who placed his music on a number of mixtapes and compilations, and had him feature on tracks with notable high profile artists. One of the features was on a song called “What Do You Want” by R&B singer, Courtney Kinard, also known as Chantz Kacey who was one of the contestants on MTV’s “Making The Band” series. The song rose quickly on worldwide music charts above songs by 50 Cent, Ryan Leslie, Tyrese and Omarion. After appearing in the video for the single, E. Z got on the radar of a lot more music industry insiders, radio stations, record labels, promoters, fans and critics across the country and his phone hasn't stopped ringing ever since.
In 2009 E. Z released one of his hottest mixtapes at the time, “SkitzoPhrenia Vol. 1" which included a remix of “Half Of It” with Slip N Slide Records artist, Swazy Baby. He has since released many notable singles that never get old with fans, hip hop DJs and hip hop radio stations including Turn It Up, Crash, The Zone and Freaky Sh't but is best known for his single, “White On Rice” which features Persia of VH1 and R&B artist, Eddie Kane, and his feature on Shawnna's “Hide & Seek” remix which also features hip hop rapper, Twista.
E. Z continues to make a name for himself in the music industry independently and his fan base is now said to be growing almost exponentially. After dropping off the radar for a little while, he's back with what fans are calling his hottest and most anticipated record to date, "Good Morning". It is currently free to stream on Soundcloud and download dates are expected to be announced shortly.
