Ras Ceylon (@RasCeylon) – “Chamber Szn” (New Music)

Leave a comment

Ras Ceylon delivers “Chamber Szn” from his newly-released album “To Srv The Ppl” 

Ras Ceylon is a Sri Lankan-American recording artist from Oakland, California. He has been bringing uplifting messages to the masses for over 20 years, releasing 5 solo albums to date and appearing on multiple projects with notable Rap and Reggae artists. He works closely with Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. Black Panther Party Cubs and is a member of Sizzla Kalonji’s Judgment Yard fam. Ras Ceylon’s latest single “Chamber Szn” amasses over 2100 streams since the album’(“To Srv The Ppl”) was released on December 16th. The track features Solomon Childs and Timbo King and is produced by DJ Just Jay. The trio delivers strong messages and the hook “ Chamber Szn, It all happens for a reason” is catchy with a purpose.

Ras Ceylon

Ras Ceylon has spent over two decades relentlessly organizing his community, providing them with the tools to rise above oppression, and being a voice of the voiceless through his music and activism. “To Srv The Ppl” (To Serve The People) is Ras Ceylon’s first full-length solo release in 10 years (7th album overall), recorded entirely in 2022. The 13-track album embodies thought-provoking and politically charged subject matter that revolves around freedom, family, spirituality, and revolutionary change. The album’s artwork depicts Ras Ceylon’s involvement in the “Justice For Oscar Grant Movement” of 2009-2010. This picture was taken at a march when Oscar Grant’s killer, Johannes Mehserle, was released after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and serving just 11 months in county jail.

Ras’s socially conscious lyrical imagery is a masterful fusion of hip hop, roots reggae, and dancehall blending straightforward bars of struggle with insightful metaphysical wisdom floating over exquisitely curated soundscapes provided by well-rounded beatsmiths including Dawit Justice, DJ Just Jay, Kinetic 9 (Killarmy), and Dr. Edward Love.

Ras Ceylon

Ras Ceylon speaks of “To Srv The Ppl”, declaring, “This project is more than just music for me. It is the soundtrack to my way of life and my philosophies. From a young age, I took heed to a higher calling from those in my community to serve the people, all people that are oppressed worldwide. It is this chosen path that translates beyond words into actual physical action. This album is an update of where I currently reside mentally and spiritually. It is an audio journey for listeners into the movement of self-determination.”

Released by the Billboard-charting, Miami-based reggae record label, Chalice Row, Ras Ceylon’s “To Srv The Ppl“ is the label’s first hip-hop release boasting notable guest appearances from reggae superstars Sizzla and Perfect Giddimani to longtime Wu-Tang Clan swordsmen Prodigal Sunn (Sunz Of Man), La The Darkman, Timbo King, Kinetic 9 (Killarmy), and Solomon Childs.  “To Srv The Ppl” is unlike any current album in today’s market in that it is a rare jewel that shines through originality and authenticity rather than the glorification of crime and violence. “To Srv The Ppl” is available now on all streaming platforms with physical CDs and Vinyl soon to be available. Be sure to connect with Ras on his website, social media, and digital music platforms.

Diary Of A Chef (@CookinCalvin)- “Final Chapter” EP

Leave a comment

Diary Of A Chef Delivers His Latest Album, “Final Chapter”

Diary Of A Chef also known as “Cooking Calvin” is an up-and-coming independent Artist, Motivational Speaker, and Entrepreneur who hails from Detroit, Michigan, and currently resides there. At a young age, DOAC began writing music and had hopes of pursuing it as a career. All things were halted when he learned that he would be a Father. At that time, music was placed on the back burner while accepting his responsibilities of being a family man. During his 20 years of cooking, the Chef professes to have seen and experienced a lot while working with countless amounts of people. His experiences taught him how to look on the bright side even though it’s a different view in many others’ eyes.

Chef Calvin is a passionate Chef and Father and loves to share his musical inspiration with the world. In retrospect, he chose cooking to take care of his family but couldn’t let his passion for music fade away. He mainly wanted to inspire his boys and numerous people who shared how his music helped them get through their day. Chef thought meticulously about how he could incorporate the two things that he loved to do. This was when he decided to build a studio inside their Juice Bar and put together a small label called ‘We Create.’ The studio gives the customers an opportunity to voice themselves at a really low rate – sometimes just a purchase of a smoothie.

“Motivation is needed right now. I decided to release content that’s made to uplift our people in the lowest time. Some are funny, some serious, but overall it’s a great message.” – Chef Calvin”

His catalog consists of “Thinking about Life,” “Diary of A Chef – Chapter 2,” and ”Diary of A Chef Rough Draft.” Shortly after Covid and its after-effects, Diary Of A Chef felt that it was necessary to release motivational content – content that uplifts and inspires its listener.

WLLY & MNA Release Their New Single “Black Chevy”

WLLY & MNA have released “Black Chevy” a club/dance song that exudes style, sex appeal, and confidence. It promotes the long-standing tradition of hopping in the car, going to the club, popping champagne, and enjoying the fruits of one’s labor. Though the two have been long-time friends of ten years, they both focus primarily on their own tracks and careers as they are in separate and very distinct genres. WLLY is an emo-trap artist, and MNA is a hip-hop and electronic music artist. But every now and again, the two have shown to demonstrate how well they work together. In 2020, they released “Lost Track of Time” a song about suicide, mental health, and redemption. In 2021, the pair released “Wasn’t Always Easy” which reached 78,000 plays on SoundCloud to date. WLLY & MNA’s “Black Chevy” is a fun song that aims to encourage its listener dance and have a fun time. 

WLLY & MNA

MNA – Raised in the small town of Olney, Maryland MNA (Matthew Nino Azcuy) watched and listened to all the greatest rappers and musicians during the 1990s and early 2000s. During this golden age of music and music videos, Azcuy was inspired by both rappers and rock groups alike, and when he was sixteen years old decided to make his own music. After years of finding his sound, he teamed up with local producer Nemo, to make his album “Diamond Dog”. Matthew Nino Azcuy is also a published book author, avid writer, and professional movie actor.

WLLY & MNA

WLLY – is an independent and underground artist based out of Washington DC. WLLY connects with his fans and audience through his reflective lyrics and versatile style of music, blending various genres such as hip-hop, alternative rock, and pop. Through a steady release of music videos and singles, WLLY is starting to make a name for himself in the Emo trap genre. 

The fusion of MNA and WLLY’s different sounds work quite well for the sometimes-collaborating duo, and we hope they come together for more tracks in the future.

[New Music] 3M Djayy – “Going Dark”

Leave a comment

Chicago rapper 3M Djayy has shared a new album called GOING DARK, produced by Brav06. Across 9 tracks, the eclectic project brings in engaging sounds that draw from Chicago hip-hop stylings, as well as Detroit hip-hop and cloud rap. On GOING DARK, Brav06 lays down a series of atmospheric, silky instrumentals that are frequently emotive and layered, as 3M Djayy himself presents a strong performance that is candidly laid-back and humorous throughout, as he packs his verses with clever and ear-catching lyrics.

The album starts off in a strong manner with “light show”, a euphoric and elegant song that incorporates lush, silky strings laid atop a booming, immersive rhythm section. 3M Djayy delivers dynamic and poised verses with an intriguing sort of detachment, matching the beat’s unhurried, rich sonics. Then, there are songs like “tall hoes” which include a retro, 80’s-tinged bounce that makes the track purely addictive. “number one” provides an anthemic sound with its glowing, stuttering synths and charismatic flows making for an epic listen.

GOING DARK is the latest project from Chicago’s 3M Djayy and producer Brav06, and it finds the pair sharing a natural chemistry that translates to an effortlessly stylish 9-track effort.

Headkrack (@headkrack) – “Violence”

HEADKRACK RELEASES NEW MUSIC VIDEO “VIOLENCE” 

Ever watch someone destroy themselves? The show could come across to some as either a campy 70s horror flick or art…maybe both. One thing is for certain. Watching and listening to Headkrack destroy his inner demon is a bit disturbing, entertaining, and thought-provoking. 

VIOLENCE directed by Kansas Bowling is dingy, ominous and something we’ve all been through. While we all don’t have the creative muscles and lyrics showcased in this imagined tribute to self-destruction we can relate to. “The problem is him,” Krack rhymes. “I’m a m’fn problem.” This is not a sad journey by any means. He even chooses to do it with a smile. Cinematically, VIOLENCE is crazy fun to watch as you dissect the clever word-play line by the ‘what the F am I watchin?!’ line. 

Bass thumps as a skittering beat doubles back and forth. Over this backdrop, HeadKrack declares, “Woke up today and chose violence, came here to kills this shit while I’m smiling” 

headkrack
dkrack

“Sometimes, you will be smiling, and other times, you will be smiling because you have a knife in your pocket,” he muses. “It’s the same smile. Some people smile because they’re crazy. Other people smile because they’re enthusiastic about what they’re doing throughout the day. It took me going on spiritual journeys to learn more about the universe and, at the same time, myself. I’m truly dialed into not only what makes me work, but the nature of what makes a lot of the world work. I have a better understanding of people,” explains Headkrack. 

This video is an offering off of his upcoming project called MikroDose and lyrically addresses the need to reset and re-engage. Wildly imaginative projects have never been a problem for Headkrack the ultra-professional wordsmith, MC, Radio / TV Personality, and Professional Boxer among other things. The song itself is produced by: Higgy Beats while the video was shot, edited, and directed by Kansas Bowling. This is your day to kill those inner demons and be inspir-tained (yeah we just made that word up). Wake up and choose VIOLENCE.
