T-Quest Music Review: Kaywon Recently I had the great pleasure of interviewing Hip Hop Artist Kaywon on The T-Quest Show with DJ ILL NINO. We all had such a great time. Shout out to @ChanelNarcissus for the connect! Kaywon is in a lane of his own which will truly work in his favor. The things that I admire the most about him is his professionalism, personality, while also having the insight of truly understanding and knowing his audience.

Being such a diverse artist opens up the market for him. Kaywon has a catalogue for the “Tims and hoodie” wearers to the skateboarders rockin’ the Vans. He has very relatable music with a special message in each song. Kaywon is very talented! Not only does he rap but he produces his own music, sings, dances and plays instruments as well. He’s an up and coming superstar on the rise and he is most assuredly poised to leave a mark on the music world. Stay tuned and remember the name Kaywon.

on Artist add comment

CALI CALI is from a well known artist from a section in Philadelphia named Abortford Projects. Growing up around the age of 10 he can remember his cousins introducing him to music listening to Lil Wayne “Fireman” song off The Carter 1 project.

His older cousin would have instrumentals playing in the house and they would all freestyle. He really started writing songs around the age of 12. In order to remember his lyrics while recording himself on his desktop computer.

WHAT’S CALI UP TO?

Meeting new friends and moving a long in life he dropped his first song with music video. At 15 years old and again at 17 he would produce a mixtape series titled Underground Legend Vol 1&2.

Going by “Calico The General” at 21, the heatwave started to pick up. He worked with producers like Dougie On The Beat featuring with another Philly top talent in Kur.

Few year later, he would shorten “Calico The General” to Cali Cali. Coming under management by B.L.E. Enterprise. Taking his career seriously, he would record 25 songs and shoot 6 videos in a 3 month time span.

Working on his music he would network and make connections with “Shana Sims”from Capitol Records, a few producers who went platinum with Lil Uzi Vert and a videographer named “Carter Vizions”.

Hitting the stage heavily at 1122mg, testing his music out with Philadelphia taste makers, He would layer find himself on a few major tours and Concerts. Hollywood him Tour, Ponzo Houdini Tour and the Dope Shows Concert.

Having songs like 1942 and Coldest featuring Lil Muk just to name a few, has the artist beginning to taking flight. He has been moving the Spotify and social media algorithm in his favor with a little over 400.5k streams. He is currently waiting on a few Spotify tracks to accumulate over 100k stream on a few singles.

Q&A WITH STRAIGHT OFFICIAL

T-Quest Music Review: Tengo Bengo Recently I had the great pleasure of interviewing Hip Hop Artist Tengo Bengo on The T-Quest Show with DJ ILL NINO. We all had such a great time. Shout out to @iamfrshawty for the connect! What attracted my attention the most at first was his accent. He let it be known that he is from Brazil. As we dove into the conversation we learned that Tengo Bengo speaks 3 languages; Portuguese, Spanish as well as English and he used all 3 languages in his music.

Being such a diverse artist and having the ability to speak so many languages opens up the international market for him. Having incredible music and a great personality to back it up is even better. As an added bonus, Tengo Bengo is a businessman and entrepreneur out here on his grind. Not only does he own his own company but he knows the importance of having your own merchandise. On The T-Quest show he was wearing his branded hat, t-shirt and even showed us his custom backpack!

Tengo Bengo introduced us to his hit single Count Your Money Honey. It is a crossover certified smash! He incorporated all three languages that he spoke to a turnt up beat. This is definitely a song you can ride out to and get it poppin in the club as well. You can find this song/video alongside his others on all digital platforms and YouTube. Make sure you stream his music, watch his videos and follow him on social media at https://www.instagram.com/tengo_bengo/

NLG YB Poses The Obvious Question With Single “When You Gone Let Me” Feat. 3k Towjo

on ArtistStraight Official MagazineVideo add comment

When it’s time to take center stage with your first drop of the year, you might as well do it with the question of the century.

Atlanta native, artist and producer NLG YB is back with his latest hip-hop offering “When You Gone Let Me“. For his first track of 2022, he joins forces with 3k Towjo for the Kyduh produced summer anthem. The melodic hi-tempo bop finds NLG YB and 3k Towjo in conversation mode and sets the tone for one hell of a return.

No stranger to hit making, the multi-talented artist/producer has contributed production to artists such as Lil Baby, Lil Keed, Ralo and more; crediting his music influence to the likes of T.I. and Gucci Mane.

With promises of more releases of his own due later this year, the Last One Standing Music Group (LOS) artist gifts us with edgy, yet chill visuals to accompany the undeniable banger. Check out the official video for “When You Gon Let Me” below and stream the single, available now on all platforms.
