Should Nikko Baby Be Crowned For R&B In Chicago?

®Nikko Baby 2022

If there were any question that NIKKO BABY would be a star, you can throw that out the window. The
epitome of never judge a book by its cover, Nikko’s voice will melt your soul and make you feel his pure and raw emotion.

His musical influences include Al Green, Barry White, Heavy D, The Notorious B.I.G. and Michael Jackson to name a few. This Chicago native is a student of his craft. Falling in love with music and entertaining from the very young age of 10. He credits his first performance of Silent Night and his ballsy display to Kwiet Storm as catalysts that made him take music more seriously.

BODY OF WORK

He lives to perform live and create visual stories with his music in the studio. Over the years, Nikko Baby has had the opportunity to collab with fellow Chicago native Tink on the buzz worthy track “Freak Like Me” which has gained massive streams worldwide. Yakki Divioshi (Pop Lord), Kevin McCall to Z Money and has also developed a strong partnership with Chicago’s very own Young Chop.

A CHOICE TO MAKE

Performing and writing R&B for himself & many well known household names that include super
producer Jazze Pha, were not quick gateways to success for him. For a few years Nikko had one foot in R&B and the other consumed in street life. After a wake up call in Chicago late fall 2018, he realized that music had to be 10 toes down for survival.

While recovering from being shot, he created a cover to Meek Mill’s Save Me as a form of release. Listening to this song you felt his pain, his yearning for a better way out and an immense need to express. This one song embodies the feel and sound you want to have each and every time you hear his music. Stay
tuned for more from Nikko, with every new release he is sure to make you feel it.

Lah’Q900 Drops New Video For “I Can’t Wait” From Here I Come EP

LAH’Q900 DROPS A NEW VIDEO FOR “I CAN’T WAIT” OFF HIS LATEST EP “HERE I COME”.

Budding North Dallas Texas artist LAH’Q900 has definitely made his presence felt this past summer. With two major singles “Joy Rider” & “I Can’t Wait”. Most compare him to the late great MO3 or Kevin Gates. To be honest with you it’s safe to say that Lah’Q is in a lane of his own.

Certainly, Lah’Q is independently motivated and family oriented. He has been groomed under the umbrella of Stack Mode Brothers with veteran MC’s Mr. Lucci and CEO Stack Mode Fats. A formula that looks like it can’t be tampered with because it was built on solid foundation since day one.

NAWF DALLAS AMBASSADOR C – FATS & LAH’Q900

Above all “I Can’t Wait” visual shot and directed by Half Pint Filmz. Is definitely one that fans can sit back and enjoy without hesitation. It’s not too late to catch up while you can because LAH’Q900. Definitely has this lane on lock and looks like no time soon he is relinquishing the grip he has on the music scene.

Make sure you go follow Lah’Q @lahq900 on social media as well as check his latest EP “Here I Come” Out Now On All Streaming Platforms!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hip-Hop Icon Scarface Says Farewell

When Hip-Hop first began in the late 70’s the genre was labeled as a passing fad, but even with it’s initial spark, some had ruled it to quickly fizzle out like disco or jazz. Hip-Hop was especially designed to provide a voice to the voiceless. The birthplace and essence of Hip-Hop will be debated about for years to come.  One thing we do know to be a fact that it reached as far west as Los Angeles California and as far South as Houston Texas. The birth place of one the most prolific MC’s who has ever touched a mic Brad Jordan aka SCARFACE.

HIP HOP – DJ KHALED FT SCARFACE & NAS

(KISS THE RING)

“HIP HOP HEARTBREAKS, STRAIGHT LACED DEEP BASS 808’s, PLUS THE MIXTAPES”

 SCARFACE

Scarface had that voice and witty rhyme flow that could match perfectly with the best of them. In addition, his keen ear which allows him the ability to produce his own projects. Just take a listen to his latest and undeniably his best body of work DEEPLY ROOTED

Despite having eleven studio albums, 2 compilations and countless of features it’s safe to say that the body of work Brad Jordan has put together is incomparable to anything in Hip Hop has been able to listen to.

#GetSOM via @essince and check out more of the lifestyle and culture of Hip-Hop right here.

Q&A WITH EDUBB302

ESSINCE: How did you get started in music?
EDUBB302:
I’ve been writing music since I was a kid and just recently started taking it seriously once I realized I had a sound that the people missed.

Who are you influences?
My influencers in music include the likes of Lil Wayne, DMX, Nas, Vintage Mase, 2pac, Jadakiss, and of the newer rappers I like Lil Baby, Yo-Gotti, Lil Durk and many more. I love music with substance.

How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard your music before?
I was describe my sound as gritty, authentic and simply music that you can feel even if you never lived a life like my own.

IN CLOSING


What’s the music scene like in Delaware?
In Delaware it’s so much talent. It’s unreal how we go unnoticed but I don’t really blame the industry. I feel if more artist got serious and really chased the dream and we learned to collab and work together without the hate we could be a force in the industry.

What would you like fans to know about you?
I want my fans to know that I really lived the life I speak of. After I spent 5yrs in prison and since my release, the focus has been continuous growth. I try to set an example to the man that is in the shoes I used to wear. Self-preservation is a must. Any issues that can be resolved should be.

What are your ultimate goals?
My ultimate goal is to make it to the main stage and possibly sign a record deal because music is expensive and without the machine behind you it’s costly. I work full time and make good money but I have a family that I sacrifice for day in and day out. Music is my ticket to financial freedom. I’m gonna make it.

Any final thoughts or shout outs?
I gotta drive like no other. When you experience some of the worst life has to offer its easy to appreciate the good. I’m focused, goal oriented, driven and intellectual. Regardless that authentic Hip-Hop sound is back and I’m gonna be one of the forces behind it.

ROYCE DA 5’9 blessed the masses this past week with his new release The Heaven Experience Vol. 1. HipHopDX reports in a recent interview with Nickel Nine that he’s moving away from the previous content he’s released with this eight studio project.

“I’ve been mulling over some ideas,” he revealed. “I think I know what I’m going to do next project-wise. I don’t necessarily want to say right now just in case it ends up changing. But I have been working in a couple different directions.” It’s dope to see that he is doing the work mentally to produce better music.

[Video] Pep Rally-Turn The Radio Up (Klubjumpers REMIX)

PEP RALLY TURNS THE RADIO UP

The current Philadelphia musical renaissance is spearheaded by the recording studios and rock clubs in town. Foremost among these venues is MilkBoy. Ran by producer/engineer Tommy Joyner, who also produces music at the Philadelphia recording studio of the same name. Hosting and recording sessions for artists like Lana Del Ray, Silk Sonic, Miley Cyrus and James Taylor. Joyner is also a songwriter. Being surrounded by so much creativity and growth, it was inevitable that he’d eventually get his shot to shine.

WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN

To nobody’s surprise, the music being created by Joyner is polished, tuneful, sharply composed and wholly irresistible. His band PEP RALLY makes grown-up pop-rock of the best kind. Immediate yet thoughtful, muscular but approachable, intelligent but always danceable, and ideal for offbeat stages like MilkBoy. With winsome melodies, sleek vocal harmonies, deft use of synthesizers and a propulsive beat that underscores his songs’ messages of forward momentum and the importance of seizing the moment.

Joyner’s flexible vocals, sometimes sweetly sung and spoken, but always clear, forthright, and engaging. He’s to be a frontman with the charisma and appeal worthy of the Philadelphia indie scene he’s done so much to foster. The first single from Pep Rally’s upcoming album is the anthemic “Turn The Radio Up (Own The Night),” Check it out down below
