KAIRO MYTH AT THE MOJA ARTS FESTIVAL 2017

Find East Coast rappers like Wu Tang, RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna


When Staten Island, New York City rap group, the Wu Tang Clan burst onto the scene in the 90s, hip hop fans knew there would never be a sound similar to theirs ever again. It was and still is complex, insightful, utterly infectious, original and masterful in ways that could never fully be understood or explained.

Many have tried to adopt their style and sound but their lyrical content, which revolves around deep scientific and metaphysical principles is almost impossible to duplicate without indepth knowledge of such subject matters.

A few years back the South Carolina, US rapper, Kairo Myth changed all that. After years secretly honing his craft and defining his sound behind closed doors Kairo emerged with a powerful, masterful and original sound that brought the subgenre of Shaolin Hip Hop back to life. Self-produced from start to finish, Kairo's music is deeply immersive and his sound currently ranks in a category of its own as one of rap music's most authentic sounds of this decade.

Kairo has been known to perform to niche audiences in and around his home region but recently announced that he'll be performing to a much larger and more diverse crowd spanning music and art fans and people from all works of life at this year's annual MOJA Arts Festival in Charleston a top event in the region which celebrates African-American and Caribbean art. 

If you like East Coast rappers like RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna then you wouldn't miss it for the world.

The festival takes place from the 28th of September till the 8th of October, 2017. Kairo Myth is scheduled to perform on the 29th of September during the Block Party at Brittle Bank Park* ashe'.

More details are available on the festival website or on the Skunk Radio Live Events page.

TARA KYE'S NEW ALBUM

Find the latest new singles and albums of Autumn, 2017 in Canada right now and discover top new artists and bands and similar acts

If anyone knows how to intensify the build up to an album and get fans' ears watering right up to the very second before its release, it's none other than Canadian rock artist, Tara Kye. Tara has proven to be one of the most hard working emerging artists in British Columbia, and possibly in Canada as a whole even. Over the past 12 months alone she has released close to 10 singles back to back almost every month. She released a 6 track EP, "Tortured Love" in February, which treated fans to her top releases prior to the EP, including the title track, "Tortured Love" which was her latest single at the time. Similarly, in August she released the single "Freedom Rocks" shortly before announcing her new album "Freedom Rocks" which was released on the 21st of August, 2017. 

It's been an exciting year for Tara's fans, and an even more exciting year for Tara whose passion is to inspire and motivate the world through music. She sprung onto Canada's rock scene with a distinctive, captivating, organic rock sound that pays homage to the authentic sounds of the genre whilst skillfully incorporating elements from other genres without compromising its integrity with the help of Canadian musician, John Dean, who taught her how to play the piano and has since worked with her on many of her songs.

Her latest album demonstrates her growth as an artist over the past year and features 10 songs including many of her previous hits. "Freedom Rocks" is available to download on iTunes, and stream on Apple Music and Spotify.

FROM BROOKLYN TO HIP HOP WITH LOVE
Kai'Son

If you are looking for the top rappers of 2017 then you are in the right place and you'll find that Brooklyn hip hop artist, Kai'Son sits right at the top of the list hands down in terms of vocal delivery, lyricism and overall production in a REAL HIP HOP context

Put plainly and simply, Kai'Son is to hip hop music in 2017 what Martin Luther King was to the Civil Rights Movement, and coincidentally, his top 3 songs, "King's Speech" part 1, 2 and 3, all freestyles, are his most talked about tracks, and have been revered as some of the most highly regarded underground hip hop freestyles of this decade.

Resonating lyrically and sonically (fundamentally) alongside the likes of artists like Kendrick Lamar, the Brownsville, New York native has set a standard for his music higher than even the most dedicated real hip hop fans could dream of in their wildest fantasies.

If other people's (rappers) bank account balances, sexual conquests and car fetishes are not at the top of your list of requirements when you are listening to or discovering new music, or you prefer to stay clear of artists who focus primarily on similar subject matters in their lyrics then Kai'Son will make your day every single time. His intelligently delivered, carefully crafted, meaningful, insightful, story-telling rhymes and lyrical flows will speak to your soul in ways the works of musical acts like the Wu Tang Clan, Mos Def, Nas, Guru, Redman, Method Man, and even Tupac and the Notorious BIG spoke to the souls of their respective fan bases.

Kai'Son's debut mixtape, "Soulstice" was released back in August, 2013 when he was also known as Rad Chaz, and anyone who knows hip hop and who was fortunate to discover it at the time has followed closely ever since.

The cover of "Soulstice 2", his latest mixtape was recently released along with the first single of the mixtape, "Hot Today" and a music video for the single.

Streaming and download links for the new mixtape are expected to be announced soon.

WORLD'S YOUNGEST ROCK STAR TURNS TWO
Happy Birthday Dee Jay! 

Discover music producers and music production experts in rock music and electronic rock music

He is one of the most popular dogs in rock music today, but Love X Stereo's unofficial third member is not stopping there. After achieving rock superstardom when the sensational South Korean electronic rock duo, formerly a trio, independently soared above all similar and not so similar artists, bands and producers in their home region of Seoul in South Korea and beyond, Dee Jay quickly became a heart-throb, finding a place close to the hearts of many. He recently scored his first gig as the face of a new campaign by the Humane Society International, a charity protecting animals around the world. Dee Jay also had cause to celebrate late last year after a successful pregnancy (hopefully planned) that brought puppy, Little Dee Jay into the world.

Sure the kind and gentle, charismatic Labrador Retriever may always in the mood for a power nap, farts anytime and anywhere the mood strikes, walk around bare chested all the time flaunting his broad shoulders, amazing pecs and glorious abs, and take part in rehearsals or contribute to new music whenever if ever, but Dee Jay is still Love X Stereo's favorite band member and that will never change.

This week we join in celebrating Dee Jay's birthday as wishes of prosperity and good fortune pour in from music fans, friends and followers around the world.


Discover how your favorite artists and bands made a name for themselves - from their first records as emerging acts to their latest records as world renowned acts

AMYCANBE ON HOUSTON'S HURRICANE RELIEF ALBUM

Amycanbe is one of the top alternative pop music bands of this decade. Their distinctive, mindful sound makes them fan favorites not just in Italy where they are from but around the world where it's hard to find any similar sound.


They are known for their utterly infectious and satisfying alternative rock classics, and they continuously dominate independently on Italy's rock music scene but Amycanbe also takes time out to lend a helping hand where ever they can to give back to not just their loyal fans and their community, but others in need far away as well. This time they are turning to the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas and contributing their song, "Queens" to the Houston Food Bank's new compilation album which features songs by caring independent and emerging musicians and bands not just in Texas, but from around the world as well.

All proceeds from the album will go directly to the Houston Food Bank to aid anyone who was affected by the hurricane that hit the region only few weeks back.

"Queens" is the tenth song on Amycanbe's latest EP, Wolf, which was released back in April, 2015 and is available for sale on Bandcamp as an mp3 song download or as part of the full mp3 compilation album download. The song stands out on the album and sits comfortably in that crucial track position that marks the pinnacle of the arc where the album climaxes before coming to an abrupt end. The eleven track album, which is still being celebrated by fans with the same excitement as when it was first released is one of the top alternative music albums of this decade and was released independently by the quartet at a time when rock music, not just in Italy but around the world as a whole seemed to be losing its essence to all the amazing new sounds of pop. It brought joy to and continues to bring joy to any die hard rock fans who are fortunate to discover it as the rapidly evolving band makes their journey from their local and national music scenes to the global stage.

If you like songs by artists and bands like Portishead, Morcheeba, The xx, AIR, The Cure, Wolf will take you back to an era in rock when the genre stood for causes and played vital roles in shaping the cultures and mind states of generations positively.

Download "Queens" as a single mp3 or with the full Houston Food Bank compilation album to show your support for the victims of Hurrican Harvey.


Discover Italian alternative pop music, artists and bands and similar sounds and lyrics to your favorite new rock songs of 2017

CHINGY ANNOUNCES SINGLE RELEASE DATE

Artists like St. Louis rapper, Chingy always deliver unique sounds and records that are nothing similar to anything out there at the time

Famous for his debut record, "Jackpot" back in 2003, artists like Chingy have over the years become known to never disappoint when it come to new music. They never release anything similar to any artists topping the charts at the time, and they always take their time to ensure that fans are not just happy but fully and utterly satisfied. Sure, they may not release music as often as others but when they do, it's well worth the wait. Chingy's last single, "You" was released back in January, 2016 and then quickly followed by his mixtape, "The Purge" in March the same year. The mixtape showed his growth as an artist and treated fans to a delightful blend of Chingy's signature nursery rhyme style with the best of the new sounds and production techniques of hip hop music today. 

Sadly, Chingy lost his mother earlier this year in April which could be one of the reasons for the delay between projects as the multiplatinum rap star makes his come back after quieting down for a few years.

After announcing a series of new projects in the works and a possible album on the way a few months back, St. Louis' very own has made it official and announced the release date of his new single which will be available from the 27th of October, 2017 on iTunes and other digital music retailers.

We also got some footage of Chingy working on a new video.
