Amara La Negra Joins Trap Beckham on ‘Sundress Season’

In anticipation for his upcoming project, rapper Trap Beckham just released his latest single “Sundress Season.” For the new song, he brought on R&B singer Amara La Negra to spice things up.

Combining Florida and the Caribbean vibes, “Sundress Season” celebrates the hot weather, beautiful ladies, and stylish fashions.

Beckham says that he wanted to give his fans a timeless record with a beat they can dance to.

While very different from his previous works, the song is another piece in his arsenal of party vibe music. However, this time he chose to take a different approach by delivering a new sound for the ladies and incorporating La Negra.

“Sundress Season” serves as the second single for his upcoming project ‘071419.’

A month ago he produced the first single, “Hit It,” which consisted of features from rappers Trina and Tokyo Jetz. The record was accompanied by a music video with all of the Florida natives showing out to the dance track; and DJ Diggem singing the hook.

Beckham rose to fame after the popularity of his 2016 hit “Birthday B****” which led to him signing with Def Jam Records. Within a matter of weeks, the single went viral with celebrity and influential figures celebrating their birthdays to the hit single. The song digitally has been streamed and downloaded over 50 million times.

He followed up with “Lil Booties Matter” featuring DJ Pretty Ricky, which also became a popular hit.

Beckhams says that his new project showcases the growth in his artistry while fueling a music catalog that speaks diversity, great energy and a vibe on each record.

Since the beginning of his career, Beckham has kept with a tradition of releasing his projects annually. His upcoming project, “071419,” represents Beckham’s birthday.

WooDaRealest Releases Single/Video ‘Feti$h’

Atlanta native, WooDaRealest debuts his single “Feti$h,” an upbeat hustlers anthem and a sure to be fan favorite. The single is an ode that everybody has a fetish and for his Southside Atlien; it’s a money fetish. The single is one of many in which WooDaRealest plans to deliver with hard-hitting lyrics and melodic flow. His flow not only draws in listeners but also his tone and voice.

The verses describe what he has been through including recently adding a physical scar to him due to emergency surgery. Battling a near-death experience of his appendix rupturing only empowered him to recover and amp up to turbo speed. Originally, the single was released in Fall 2018, but Wooda wasn’t able to focus on his music due to his health recovery. Since then, he has signed with the independent label, No Face No Case, and is ready to have all eyes on him. The initial release grossed 36K+ in Youtube viewership and is expected to double that with the high anticipation of his future music releases.

The single was produced by Ethancx and the video was shot by Leefont Lee. The track is also available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music & Soundcloud and stay connected with WooDaRealest @WooDaRealest on social media.

The No Face No Case label is prepping a compilation project called Case #1, showcasing the three signed artists: Wooda Realest, AC & BV Ty. The project is expected to debut this Summer with individual tracks as well as songs featuring all three artists.

The tragic short film themes around the bond between a grandmother and her grandson. “Remember where you come from. It will keep you safe,” says the Grandmother.

During a trip to a bodega, the Grandson gets into a confrontation with the store owner, who accuses him and his friends of stealing. The police are called, and the young and his boys flee the scene, but he gets killed. Nas, who dons a dashiki, narrates the heartbreaking story.

“Everything” is lifted from Nas’s 2018 album, ‘Nasir.’

Video: James Gardin – Promise Land

Michigan rapper James Gardin has released the visuals for his soulful new single, “Promise Land.”

The song is a form of encouragement to prompt people to fulfill their purpose. Gardin intended for it to be a vehicle to drive away doubts and discouraging thoughts so that people can continue to travel the roads of their life journey.

“Many people feel like they have a purpose, but not all of them actually believe they can fulfill it,” says Gardin. “Promise Land is an anthem of encouragement to that person who has let life either discourage, and or detour them. So play this song and let your Faith be rejuvenated so you can avoid turning a 12 day trip into a 40 year quest.”

An Illect Recording artist, James Gardin is known for his multifaceted skill set of empowering rhymes, fun melodies, energetic stage presence, and deft fashion sense to become the most successful emcee in his hometown of Lansing, Michigan.

He has performed hundreds of shows around the world, amassed thousands of plays and has also had songs featured on ESPN, GaryVee TV, and Black&SexyTV.

Logic Drops ‘Contra’ Music Video

Award-winning rapper Logic releases the music video for his latest single “Contra,” which is off his latest offering, Bobby Tarantino II. “Contra” is the fourth single released off this project. Logic is currently touring to promote the mixtape.

As expected, Logic is bringing the heat, taking shots, and blowing everything out of the water on this one. In the music video, we see the Def Jam recording artist riding around with a car full of money. As he makes his rounds, Logic is throwing one hundred dollar bills to the kids and setting mounds of money on fire. He’s literally throwing away money and doesn’t seem concerned about it at all.

“Contra” is a classic “brag track,” which aims to point out how great Logic is. The verses describe where he’s been, what he’s done, and more importantly what he had. A couple of lyrics from the single say, “Bobby, tell me who really ’bout it. Bitch, I doubt it, not a single person work harder than Bobby. Just wrote a novel, starrin’ in a movie. Built. another business while you at the party. Ain’t one to flex, but yeah I’m finna flex. I just parked that new i8 right next to the Audi.” He made a similar song last year called “Everybody,” off a studio album which bears the same name. Only in that song, he talked more about his work-ethic than his success and accolades.

The chorus of “Contra” boasts, “Bitch, I’ve been blowin’ up. Everyone showin’ up, where was you in the beginnin’? I know that they showin’ up. Only come around and fuck with me when the boy winnin’. No, you do not know enough. You do not know a thing about this life that I’m livin’. You’ve never been low enough. Yeah, I was born at the bottom. Everything I’m given now.”

Logic released Bobby Tarantino II at the beginning of March. He is currently hitting multiple cities on his Bobby Tarantino Versus Everybody Tour which features NF and Kyle. Some of the stops include Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Houston. The tour started on June 8 in Boston and ends on September 10 in London.

New Video: TxTHEWAY – Jump

Platinum-selling singer/songwriter TxTHEWAY recently debuted the visuals for “JUMP,” his latest single as a solo artist. Formerly known as T-Baby, the South Florida native dropped the single towards the end of March. The music video that accompanied was directed by world-renowned video and commercial director DREFILMS.

Inspired by TxTHEWAY’s hometown of Miramar, FL, the music video for “JUMP” mostly depicts the typical lifestyle for the everyday Black South Floridian. TxTHEWAY returned to Miramar to film the video. There’s money, trapping, strippers, and the inevitable senseless violence that follows. Though most of the scenes are accurate representations of what one would see if they lived in South Florida, the shot of a stripper dancing on the basketball court is obviously a fantasy; maybe.

The song itself contains that easy going bounce style that’s perfect for cruising the streets in your vintage Oldsmobile Cutlass or Mercedes E-Class. Produced by MOTIV, “JUMP” hits the midpoint between chill and hype. With a chorus that boasts, “Got a whole lot of money in my pocket right now” and “Got a whole lot of homies that’s dead right now,” the song expresses an all too familiar reality of the average street hustler. Especially, when you add in the stresses of law enforcement, imprisonment, and gunplay.

“JUMP” is essentially a reflection piece that captures the good and bad times associated with a certain lifestyle that many people will never know. For those who are all too aware, it’s a reminder of the constant battles that take place when you’re an inhabitant of the streets.

Though TxTHEWAY is considered a new artist, he is definitely not new to the music industry. Besides being a rapper, singer, and songwriter, he’s worked closely as a collaborator with notable artists such as Major Lazer, Jason Derulo, Diplo, and many others. On March 7th, UnitedMasters redistributed signee TxTHEWAY – rapper, singer and songwriter, to film the visual for “JUMP.”

Some of the most popular hits that he co-wrote include Major Lazer’s “Light It Up” ft. Nyla and Fuse ODG. “Light it Up” peaked at #1 on Billboards Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and became a platinum-selling hit record in the U.S. and internationally. Quite an accomplishment for a new solo artist.

“JUMP” is definitely a siren for the Summer with an impactful message that can inform the masses. So far, the song has garnered approximately 161,0000 hits on Spotify.

Pell, a NOLA artist, is taking fans back to the classics by embodying the style of “Slow Jamz” a classic single of the early 2000’s by Jamie Foxx and Twista, with his new single “Throwback” featuring Chicago artist Saba. The record appears on his EP, Girasoul, which he released in December 2017.

Pell’s newest music video not only gives throwback vibes with the melody of the music but also the with the look. The music video was shot with a Super 8 camera giving vintage vibes to the scenery. The visual gives creative vibes as it showcases Pell in his “house,” however, the rooms in his “house” are surrounded amongst out of the norm environments of beaches, streets, and mountain peaks.

According to Pell, “Shooting the video was dope because it was the first time I was shooting this quality of a video with bystanders walking by watching me do it, You could say it was interactive in that way that most of my music videos aren’t.”

This dynamic of the video puts a viewer in needless to say a throwback mindset. Pell’s newest music video can be viewed below so take a ride in the time machine as you prepare for the throwback!
