Zaza - Fashion Girl

Growing up in Kazakhstan, urban pop recording artist Zaza felt out of place in her inner circle of family and friends, in her home country, and in her own skin. Music provided the refuge of belonging she so craved. It wasn’t about listening to it—as there was very little music in her household or around her neighborhood—as much as it was about the catharsis of making it. Music swept her away, both inwardly and outwardly. Now, with striking individuality, she steps forward as a recording artist with a brace of singles and videos.

Zaza’s first volley of material include the singles “Fashion Girl,” “Love Me More,” and “Cobra.” The tracks exude the sensual rawness of hip-hop, pristine modern pop craftsmanship, and adventurous electronic ambience. Her lyrics are emotionally bold and empowering. On “Fashion Girl,” she depicts the isolation and disconnection models feel as they’re lauded for their physicality, but often neglected emotionally.

Hustler by MesAyah

Ever since he started rapping back in ‘05, MesAyah has focused on the listeners and provided them with something new. He wants to evoke feelings and thoughts both on a personal and collective level, and let the audience get more out of the lyrics when giving them another listen. MesAyah has an artistic approach, allowing the listener to interpret his music in their own way rather than adopting his beliefs.

Welcome to the Chi by Trudell

There is something refreshingly honest about emcee’s that choose to forego stage monikers and use their given names instead. Artists like Tupac, Andre (3000), Kanye West and Nas(ir) Jones have all bared their soles through music and that is exactly what 26-year-old emcee Michael Trudell Miller aims to do with his craft.

Everything but the Girl

“Everything But the Girl,” [was] released as a single last year, garnering radio airplay from nearly a dozen Quebec outlets. That remains his greatest bid for potential mainstream success, with a robust, upfront rap, retro New York freestyle production, swirling harmonies and a keen message that “A lot of things I already got—except a girl who I love, and is really hot.”

- Cortney Harding, Billboard Discoveries

American Politricks by Mike Petrone

It may have seemed like a lofty goal for an independent rapper to get Lil Scrappy and Iam of Soul Mafia on his first single. Not for Mike Petrone, whose breakthrough record “Crank It” is heating up the streets of his native Atlanta on the strength of spitfire verses and an insanely catchy hook.

Too Sexy by Dewarren Moses

Too Sexy- Dewarren Moses

I’m a Performer/Entertainer from the small county of Edgecombe, North Carolina. I grew up on a farm working hard, attending church and listening to good music. I started writing songs after reading over some poems I had written in a creative writing course in school. It was a slow growth before I realized they were songs.
