CBF Hollywood – “Dat Baby” ft Love Dorsey| @cbfhollywood

CBF Hollywood’s single “Dat Baby” features Tampa’s very own Love Dorsey

CBF Hollywood-born Harold Joe Jr. in Dunedin Fl. is a multi-faceted artist and his style is a reflection of his life experiences – past and present. The Tarpon Springs, Florida native grew up in a world of diverse sounds. It all began when he was a little boy, Hollywood would hear his Grandfather playing his organ daily in preparation for Sunday’s morning service at church. Other family members of CBF Hollywood always played music in the household which molded the young Harold Jr. into the artist he is today. 

In the beginning, CBF Hollywood wasn’t interested in becoming an artist. His interest was piqued after he discovered that making beats for his family members wasn’t enough for him. During their recording sessions, he would coach them on how they should rap on his beats. Soon Hollywood grew tired of doing this and decided to bring something different and fresh to the “Sunshine State’s” Hip-Hop scene. At that time, he proved that he is a contender in this game. He started developing his musical technique quickly which could be heard in his delivery. 

CBF HOLLYWOOD

CBF Hollywood has only been in the industry for a decade but has worked with various major and independent artists and labels worldwide. He is heavily influenced by Master-P, Bone Thugs, 2Pac, Juvenile, and Trick Daddy. Recently, He collaborated with LA’s very own Slim 400 on his “Cruising LA” track and it’s one of his most listened singles to date. When it comes to Hip Hop, CBF Hollywood brings an innovative, energetic, and lyrical vibe to his music. He doesn’t follow trends. Instead, he delivers a different Floridian energy rarely seen or heard in that market. The South Florida rapper makes music that forces you to believe his story with an unmatched sound. CBF Hollywood’s music is trendy and showcases a style and lyricism that’s unmistakably his own. He is known for his popular singles like “Dat Baby,” “Cruising LA,” “On Edge,” and “The Way We Live.” Collectively, the singles continue to amass over 25,000 streams on Spotify alone.

CBF Hollywood will officially drop his project  “Summertime Slide,” just in time for the heat. As the owner of CBF Records, Hollywood is committed to delivering “feel good” music for the world to hear. There isn’t anything the CEO can’t do if he puts his mind to it. But even with his gifts, people try to count him out. CBF Hollywood will continue to rise to the occasion with fresh beats and innovative trap flows. He is well ahead of the game, so get “locked in” and ride this wave. Be sure to connect with CBF Hollywood on his website, social media, and digital music platforms.

@l3x Oliv3r  – “Ch1ps” [New Music]

@l3x Oliv3r delivers his new single on all digital platforms

@l3x Oliv3r is no stranger to darkness. Growing up in the crime-ridden town of Macon, Georgia, about an hour outside of Atlanta, the most he saw anyone achieve was a life sentence in a dead-end job. That was never enough for @l3x, he was always dreaming of the world beyond.

One day in his youth, @l3x discovered the video for ‘My Band’ by D12. He was mesmerized by their hilarious antics, the bravado of the music, and of course, the girls. The possibility of creating a living by having fun, doing crazy things, and making music set him on fire. Artists seemed to have the ultimate freedom, and he knew he could have it too. He began breathing to the rhythm of Eminem, absorbing the genius production of Kanye West, and embodying the day-to-day sentiments of trials and tribulations from his favorite rock bands. He found constant inspiration in the rapper DZK, whose prolific underground catalog got millions of listens. DZK’s genre-bending aesthetic and devotion to the darker side of life mirrored @l3x’s and showed him how to carve his path.

@l3x moved to Atlanta for college right after high school and started hustling by playing dozens and dozens of shows and handing out his music to anyone that would listen. He networked tirelessly, joined student organizations, and even became a member of several music-oriented university organizations. He poured the contents of his soul into his music and built up a following. When the university’s event board was looking for opening acts for Rick Ross, @l3x mentioned his music and everyone immediately chose him for an opening slot. But Rick Ross suffered a stroke before the show and canceled. Shortly afterward, @l3x got the opportunity to open up for Big Boi during a festival and that show was rained out.

@l3x Oliv3r

@l3x had been excited to play with these two icons and the disappointment shook him to his core. He felt like the universe itself was against him. Haters called his music evil, vile, and demonic. Other Atlanta rappers that he admired quit the game and his courses needed more attention. He couldn’t break through, so he decided to take a break. After graduation, @l3x threw himself into a career in finance. He began working an intense schedule that started at 9 am and ended somewhere between 2 and 5 am. This grueling schedule continued for two and a half years until @l3x began missing how connected and free he felt when he was making music. He took an easier job and got to work on Faust I, a tape he’s wrapping and plans to release in the coming months.

Whatever your mood is, @l3x will amplify it and be with you through it all. He combines the complex lyrical maneuvers of Tech N9ne with an intoxicating flow that’s reminiscent of Migos. The production style is dark, diverse, and futuristic and reminds one of the stylings of Kid Cudi or Travis Scott, but @l3x tackles subjects that aren’t typically explored in rap. Sure, he drinks too much, engages with too many promiscuous women, and smokes more hookah than any mortal should, but in the next breath, he’s quoting H.H. Holmes and digging into ideas of depression, insecurity, self-loathing, and abandonment. @l3x is unabashedly pessimistic. He weaves a loner’s narrative through enchanting choruses, a multi-syllabic rhyming style, and witty punchlines. His music is hot, smoky, and reckless. @l3x turns off the lights and invites you to sit in the dark with him and makes you want to.

Welcome to the next enigma of Hip-Hop music. Get ready to go so deep into hell that you’ll forget to care about heaven, and to get so high that you’ll forget hell ever existed. His music is hot, smoky, and reckless. It’s a quick overindulgence with someone you can’t keep your eyes off of. His rhymes are written on the small of your back, and they leave scars. It’s not for the timid, but for those that have smelled the devil’s breath and lived to tell the tale, it’s nothing short of magic. Be sure to connect with Alex Oliver on his website, social media, and digital music platforms.

HeadKrack Releases New Women’s Anthem “Mona Lisa’s Scars”

A Portrait Stripped Bare 

Headkrack, the acclaimed hip-hop artist has released his latest single “MONA LISA’S SCARS”. The song showcases his distinctive flow and lyrical prowess, as well as the smooth vocals of Mahdi and Travii the 7th. A powerful and thought-provoking track that delves into the complexities of the human experience, tackling themes of love, loss, and resilience. 

For the ladies. All of’em. “MONA LISA’S SCARS” is that aromatic blend of acceptance and empowerment laid down over a soul stirring track produced by Local Astronauts.  It’s TikTok worthy.  And it’s about damn time. There’s something phenomenal when men come together to celebrate the Divine Feminine.  Noooo, not talking about ass and gushy…but about real people with real history to overcome.

In today’s social climate, Women find themselves inundated with serums, creams, hairstyle and clothing choices that are aimed at making them feel less than who they are. “MONA LISA’S SCARS” is a laid-back wake-up call for Women to relax and embrace themselves as they are.  

The track features lyrics from Mahdi and Travii the 7th in a pace that allows the message to breathe and resonate. The hook “Be glad to know you’re perfect as you are. No, you don’t have to be a superstar. If I had a second chance, I would choose you the way you are.  But it’s up to you for you to love your scars,” repeats just enough times for the message to hit ladies where their scars live.

“So many women don’t see the perfection in every flaw that truly makes them perfect. Women are often too hard on themselves and fail to recognize their own unique qualities, beauty and worth. I want to celebrate and encourage self-acceptance and appreciation for one’s individuality”, expressed HEADKRACK.

Straight from the gate, HeadKrack words of a chance encounter, a street meet and greet sets the tone for Men who actually get it.  Yup!
