11 FebruarySamhoody

San Diego based artist Star2 has just released the new single featuring acclaimed rapper $tupid Young. Entitled “6 Ft. Away” the two Asian-American rappers return with a punchy anthem about their thrilling lifestyle in the limelight. Over thumping bass, a razor-sharp beat, and intoxicating rhythmics, Star2 and $tupid Young note on the lessons they’ve learned from fame and fortune.

Star2 reached out to $tupid Young very early in his singing/rap career. $tupid Young, an icon in the Asian music community – the first to pave the way for Asian artists in the rap and hip hop lane. $tupid Young’s parents experienced refugee camps after fleeing the Killing Fields and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia; Star2 was born in Mae La refugee camp in Thailand after his family fled the brutal Burmese Army committing genocide and targeting Star2’s ethnic mountain tribe –the Ka-ren of Burma.

“6 Ft. Away” is a burlesque style song with a hip hop twist. “I want more Asian artists to win,” says $tupid Young. He has collabed with Star2 on a six track EP due out in March with features from MB Nel, Chinatown Runner, Gee Kade, and Lil Poppa. The two will promote their EP with a tour beginning in April.

MikeDaGreatt & E. Smitty are taking Hip-Hop to the "Blockchain"

10 FebruarySamhoody

For most of us who have little knowledge about "Blockchain" we refer to it as "Crypto" or meme token phenomenon celebrating Shiba Doggie Emojis and promising investors huge returns for taking a chance with their hard earned money "investments''. Those of us who are informed are far too familiar with the latest "Crypto" Scams and Ponzi Schemes such as the FTX meltdown, Do Kwan & Lunar and the ongoing SEC x Ripple Lawsuit which has brought a once thriving market to it's knees.

MikeDaGreatt & Super Producer/Record Mogul "E. Smitty" are doing something a little different. The Harlem raised native & the CEO of Sound Alive Records are creating new ways for Artists to add revenue streams by minting "NFT's" that live on the "Blockchain" in addition to traditional forms of music distribution. An "NFT" or Non Fungible Token can have the value of a "T-Shirt" or merchandise or it can be soo much more. Proof of ownership, Exclusive Rights & a new digital way to represent a physical or digital Asset.

MikeDaGreatt recently dropped "Sleep On It" with Production by E. Smitty & along with Distributing through Sound Alive Records, Mike & Smitty have decided to mint NFT's on 2 different Blockchains $XRPL & $BSV. For starters they will be minting limited edition NFT's which will create an immediate new way for the two to get paid for their intellectual property without having to pay the middleman. Blockchains are infinite and any number of NFT's can be minted. The most amazing part is as a blockchain token such as $XRP or $BSV gains value, so does the NFT's that are created on their respective blockchains, giving artists ways to grow and increase the value of their art and contribution to the culture. Checkout "Sleep On It" by MikeDaGreat (Prod. By E. Smitty) now on @youtube and be on the lookout for NFT's coming this month.

Lil' Rose Is Blazing With His Hot New Single "I'm On Fire"

01 Februaryrealhiphop

The 23-year-old Richmond rapper breaks silence as he plans to make his debut into the music industry blazing hot! Starting in 2013, Rose was 13 years old as he began playfully rapping over random beats. The next year, he decided to take things up a notch by writing and recording songs on his iPhone 4s. As he improved massively during that year, he got himself into rap battles so he can put his skills to the test. In 2016, he discontinued doing rap battles to become a recording artist. During that year he was a full-time basketball player and also, one of the high hope favorites in his hometown until he had a life changing situation that almost cost his life. Rose received his first ever cut from basketball after his long years of playing for numerous teams including AAU basketball going into varsity as junior. Rose said, “It felt like my life just ended badly. That entire day I couldn’t hold my tears back. I couldn’t eat nor sleep. Everyone was shocked and angry about the situation. The only thing I had on my mind was suicide until I heard a voice in my head. It told me start rapping.” His first official studio song was based off of the entire incident expressing himself with full anger. After relieving himself from basketball, he began to put his full effort into music. From 2016 to 2023 he recorded over 1,000s of songs and released 22 projects including 8 mixtapes, 7 EPs, & 7 albums. During the years of his hard work, he landed some distribution deals with Bentley Records & took some advice from people in the industry. It seems like he’s on track and soon to be the next upcoming artist in a short amount of time.
