Artistic genius is virtually indefinable. It is a phenomenon recognized only when experienced, reinvented by the souls of each generation. Undeniably, the visions captured through the eyes of Artist Kyle Bailey, in photograph or in film, leave no question of their rightful classification. Forged In the east coast of the bubbling digital age of New York City, Bailey’s gift to frame the raw, undetected beauty in every scene, every shot has elevated his status as one of New York Cities top music video directors. Kyle directs Art, creates genius, and produces urban Avante garde. Born and raised in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, New York, Kyle’s work exemplifies the beautiful contradictions of the Urban New York area. “In a 10 minute span you can go from getting your head blown off to sitting in one of the most creative places in the world,” recalls Bailey. Somewhere between the rough streets of Brooklyn, the brutal police and peaceful artist, the relic memories of the post crack epidemic in the 80′s/90′s and poverty of the outer boroughs of NYC and the perceived artistic renaissance of Tribeca, Kyle stands fearlessly and creatively with his soul on display. In 2008, with a camera purchased by his late-deceased grandmother, Kyle got his first taste of Music video shooting local rappers and amateur models. With only the information gleaned from the Internet, Kyle ventured out and began filming some of New York’s roughest areas, connecting with and discovering the true character of the neighborhoods and their people. He began to gain notoriety by bringing the professional ethics of big budget music video productions to the brands of up and coming independent musical artist in the Tri-State area at affordable prices. Honing his skills as a Producer/Director better prepared Bailey for the next step in his career.” I love Art, It’s the Only craft to me where a universal language exist that people of all classes, races, and religions can comprehend” Kyle remembers.” Producing taught me business etiquette and how to connect creativity at the same time, and Direction taught me how to guide and bring out the artistic side in other people besides myself” In the summer of 2009, With a production team consisting of some of the most talented film students from SVA (School of Visual Arts), Kyle Bailey at the young age of 19, produced and directed his first big budget music video for local rap phenomenon, Breeze and Sp- Lets Be friends (BBM song). The music video became tagged Blackberries official Blackberry messenger song, premiered on MTV Music Choice on Demand, MTV Jams, BET, Crackberry.net, Thisis50.com and Ralph McDaniel’s Rap channel “VideoMusicBox” channel 25. This catapulted Baileys career onto a higher echelon and gained him more notoriety in the Tri-state Music industry. “We finally shot something that looked amazing and I was impressed by my own skills for crafting this music video project together” Kyle recalls. ” My ex girlfriend cheated and left me at the time and I was in a financial strut when god blessed me with this breakthrough video”. Bailey and his production team produced another music video hit for another local rap group by the name of Futuristic Lingo, The music video for their song “Its Natural” Went viral instantly on YouTube and garnered the music video placement on French TV and Sway’s Rap show-MTV Rap fix. “This is When I knew I had what it takes” The accolades just began to rise from then on for Bailey, being interviewed by DTF radio and being Featured in Hip Hop’s historic Source Magazine twice for music videos he produced/directed for Artist Fresh Unlimited and Ill-O Da Great, Kyle Bailey is determined to work harder and smart to achieve more visually propelled works of art. In 2011, now at the age 21 with more knowledge and networks within the industry, With Over 50 Producer Credits and 30 Director credits & counting Mr. Bailey is aiming towards higher achievements he says. In Kyle Bailey’s role as a producer and director, Kyle is committed to “coloring outside the lines” to create fresh, innovative content that incorporates the best and most advanced technologies in support for projects. He is equally attuned to delivering projects on time. His sense of humility, his kindness and his passion for the art he strives to master exude through every word. “I feel if you’re a filmmaker, you have a special gift, a very rare privilege to make people think and to touch people. It’s a special thing. If you’re a painter, a vocalist, or if you play an instrument, God’s given you this talent to touch people. I feel there’s a responsibility there.” although the cosmetics of his life have changed, Bailey remains grounded and humble. The memory of his grand mother, the struggles of his mother, the love of his little brother, the support of his friends and New York won’t let him be otherwise. When searching for love and creativity, one does not have to look further than the eyes of this young artist. Kyle creates. – Courtesy of – Jeremy Weinstein – Plex Magazine Connect With Kyle Bailey SPSON Junior Class Vice President Creative Director/Owner ~Apart of Innovation, Imperative to Renaissance~ http://KyleBaileyHD.com The Island of Jamaica has given the world so much rich music over time along with a variation of genres and styles from Ska, Dub and Reggae, to Jamaican Jazz, Pop and the Rude Boy-injected Rock Steady vibe. Well, that lineage continues—this time with a singer-songwriter, musician of Kingston, Jamaican heritage, who incorporates an eclectic creative mix of R&B and Reggae in his music. His name is David M and he is not an artist that you’ll easily forget.  His velvety voice and uplifting messages will linger in your heart long after the last note has been played. “Lest We Forget” is the notable first single written, produced and performed by David M, from his soon to be released conceptual album, Here Comes Your Life.  The powerful and climatic song was created in tribute to United States President Barack Obama—the historic significance of his election, and what it represents to people around the globe. Originally written as a salute to South African President Nelson Mandela, David rewrote the song to reflect today’s current events. Regarding the theme for “Lest We Forget,” David says, “I have the privilege to have lived to see the culmination of the efforts and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Marcus Garvey, Rosa Parks and a whole generation of men and women who struggled so that Barack Obama, as well as you and I, can enjoy the fruits of their labor.  The labor of those who went before who suffered through this crucible…for the opportunities we have and taken for granted … lest we forget, their sacrifices.” Here Comes Your Life [BGM Entertainment] was completely written and produced by David M along with his co-producer Bowie McLoughlin. The album is a collection of songs whose themes range from the socially conscious, to personal insights, pain and loss, to simply partying and having a bit of fun. The title track, Here Comes Your Life, is a mid-tempo groove, accompanied by a sensually colorful video.  “It’s a very personal song to me.  I wrote it about someone I knew who was trying to hide her past,” says David. “Most people have skeletons in their closet that always come back to haunt them. This particular song is about the past coming back to visit the present.” “Remember Me” is a sentimental tribute that expresses David’s personal grief about someone who became his friend, confidant and like a sister, who left a lasting impression on him. She passed in the middle of the making of Here Comes Your Life.  Gone too soon.  David’s mother, who appears in his video “Lest We Forget,” also passed before the recording of the album, which added to his sense of loss. “Playing to the Moon,” expresses David’s genuine feelings of loss and loneliness in a personal relationship.  Seeking comfort on the keyboards, he wrote the song on piano and developed it over two nights. During his tribute to the great Bob Marley on “The Heart of Everyone,” David responds to those who have recently questioned or criticized the legitimacy of Marley, stating, “Whether comments were taken out of context or not, Bob’s as yet unmatched contribution to Reggae music, his singular and outstanding rich musical gifts, and the respect he deserves for them, are not open to discussion. Bob needs no defense from me, but this is from my heart, ‘he touched the heart of everyone’.” David shows his appreciation and concern for the globe and the environment on, “This is Our World.” “It’s a song about hope and a call to arms for change,” says David. “We all have a responsibility to leave it in good health and sustainable for our children and their children ad infinitum. This is our time and our place’… The time to act is now.”  “This is Our World” was commissioned by the United Nations for its recent Players for Peace campaign. With all of these powerful messages front and center, David, like everyone else, has a fun and lighter side. “Girls Night Out” certainly represents that. The party, along with a score of beautiful women, can be seen in full swing via the video clip, directed by newcomer, Adrian Lopez. Inspired by the likes of so many, including Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, music has always played a vital role in David’s life.   Starting out on the piano at age six, he spent most of his childhood singing and playing in front of audiences.  “My early days were characterized by music lessons twice a week and playing piano in the orchestra or playing at festivals or shows, ” stated David. It wasn’t long before his love for playing and singing would lead him to write and produce his own songs.  But his plan to pursue music as a career would have to wait until he graduated from college and completed his schooling at Norman Manley Law School in Jamaica.  Shortly after leaving Norman Manley – law degree in hand – David’s father passed away and the singer-turned lawyer shifted gears and took over the reigns of his family’s waste disposal and janitorial business. But what remained at the center of David’s heart was his passion for music. The 90’s became a very prolific period for him.  David signed a deal with Reggae producer Gussy Clarke and his Dub Plate Publishing Company, (then the largest music publishers in Jamaica) and Anchor Recordings where he wrote songs for reggae luminaries including Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor, Dennis Brown, Coco Tea, Shabba Ranks and JC Lodge. “I’ve been so blessed and fortunate to express myself both musically and consciously,” he says. “I’ve waited a long time for this moment.” And he is now, without a doubt, poised to take his place among the great singer-songwriters of this generation.

Rob Stashiz

The Beginning of an era not just in Philadelphia, but also in hip-hop in general. Setting himself apart from his City of Brotherly Love counterparts, Rob Stashiz has decided to take the artistic route to success, rather than gaining notoriety as simply a battle rapper. After going through hardships that most will never experience (such as a fight with cancer in his teen years), Rob Stashiz has been able to channel his emotions to create some of the most profound music to hit Philly’s underground scene in a long time. A true master of his craft, he is more than typical rap bravado, Stashiz uses his trials and tribulations to fuel his art and doing so has resonated with all those who have heard his material.

    After years of honing his craft, Rob began making moves with other underground artists such as Steph Pockets & Deep 6ix (whom Rob worked with on the soundtrack for “O”, starring Mekhi Phifer and Julia Stiles), as well as forming a group with family members and close friends, Raw Deal Squad (which consists of Rob Stashiz, Death DaVinci & Rome Ya’ Favorite Rapper). Stashiz would prove to be a standout act through his ability to craft catchy hooks and convey raw emotion no matter the subject matter. Songs like “No Matter What” and “Since I Was Young” reveal such emotion and story-telling that it can touch the hearts of any listener. It is the X factor that separates Rob Stashiz from so many other unsigned artists.

He slowly would grind his way to success by getting his buzz single “Make Em Listen” played on 100.3 The Beat and capitalizing on that success by releasing “Class Be Seated” with Raw Deal Squad. His current mixtape, “This F’N Guy: Stashiz Brigante” has given him more success due to the great response he’s been getting for the quality of the music and the huge push that the lead single “Philly Anthem” has been getting at live shows and the recently-filmed video.

(Hybrid Season)

Cecilio Joseph (born June 25, 1991), who records under the mononym Fame, is an East Brooklyn hip hop artist and soul vocalist.   Raised by a single mother, and now barely twenty year old, Fame’s energy and upbringing blends like his music- full of likable melodies, fine rhymes, and a knack for the devil in its details.  Blessed with multifaceted rap and vocal talents, Fame pushes the bar to new heights while throwing down a gauntlet in the hybrid rapper-singer scene now taking center stage in urban music’s collective consciousness.

Because the credibility of a single artist who raps and can actually sing bucks detractors who believe one should only do one or the other,  it was thought at first that listeners would be hesitant to hear Fame’s real talent.  However, the reaction for most hasn’t been as polarizing as originally expected, in fact, its been the opposite.  If its hot, its still hot.

“I’m glad the response to what I do has been so positive for the most part.  I’m definitely influenced by the golden era of hip hop and conscience lyrics.  At the same time I gravitate towards more musical elements with an energetic rawness.” Fame next says with a grin, “then again, sometimes you just gotta spit the dirty truth.”

What makes Fame’s music stand out, besides the catchy parallel metaphors, rhyme schemes and twisted resolutions, is the fun he effortlessly infuses into his tunes. Highly influenced by the clear annunciation of Jay Z, Biggie, Fabolous & R. Kelly, he also draws upon the styles of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, and retro-80’s sounds.  Add that he writes, records and performs most of his own composed hooks and choruses, and you might believe its not enough today to only have enough talent for rap.  “Basically, I like party records, and love songs… why not combine both in a single track?”

In October 2010, MBK Entertainment agreed, and signed Fame to a management and production deal.  He’s since locked himself in at MBK Studios in midtown Manhattan writing and recording with a variety of producers.  This past Summer, FAME released his debut mixtape “The Hybrid Season“, led by the smash hip hop single “COY” and the ballad “PSYCHO”.

With lyrics and wit so apparent, its also easy to forget that Fame is so young.  None was more obvious when recently asked what inspired him to chase down his dream, (he personally acknowledged to be shared by many.)  Fame accounted for a time when he was only 16 , being in the wrong place at the wrong time resulted in injuries that included a wired-shut jaw, a stockpile of emotion and words amassed inside his mind.  “It was then, without being able to talk to anyone that I became depressed, like after 2 months,” he says.  “The inspiration and ideas for my own songs began to build-up inside me like a reservoir.”  He also added, “When I got my jaw back, and was finally able to speak, I didn’t take my privilege to communicate with my voice for granted.  I worked hard and not just in choir practice, or at rap battles, but to seek the best quality of music to wrap my words around… it takes an incredible amount of hustle and patience to find the highest quality of music collaboration.  When I sometimes couldn’t find the sound I was looking for, I made up my own.”

Stay tuned as FAME will be releasing “The Hybrid Season 2” mixtape at the top of the 2012.

Vance wanted to send his audience a message in his music just to let them know its ok to be different, to stand out and step out the box and views of society, to not let people bring others down with there negativity, to not be afraid to let lose, not care and step into the night.

Their New York Dominican Swagger mixed with what they have learned living now in Atlanta, GA, makes for an incredible combination of unexpected swagger that you could not have even imagined.Schooled by the streets, matured by college, The GOOD Company has hits in store that will reach beyond race, age, gender and musical genres.

From a family of musicians, singers, and record collectors it is no surprise that DJ Shuttle was born. Originally from the South Bronx raised in the era when Hip- Hop began, it was the block parties and live performances that made him a B-Boy in every sense of the word. Growing up “tagging,” rapping, DJing, break-dancing this all led to a passion for Hip-Hop and all music. Shuttle’s family moved to Long Island at an early age and he would soon link up with legends like DJ Johnny Juice and Leaders of The New School and record as a rap artist at the Legendary 510 Studios home to Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and Mobb Deep to name a few. Shuttle eventually landed a record deal of his own with Tommy Boy Records as part of a 2-man duo “Da Matrix.” After agreeing to part ways the group released well-received work but never got the buzz strong enough to break- through. “After the death of my Dad who was an incredible musician I realized I had to do something and use my love for music to stay connected to the industry and reach people.” Using a sum of money his Dad left him Shuttle purchased 2 tech 1200’s and hit BK to buy 600 records in 1 day!!! “It took a minute to get my stride back but I knew this is what I was meant to do after a short time.” Making his way through lounges, bbq’s, and small parties things took off focusing on Weddings and Corporate functions. While the money was good the bug for Club venues and Hip-Hop events kept calling. These days you can find DJ Shuttle spinning at hot spots in NYC such as Katra, Knitting Factory, Slate and more… while also still keeping the Wedding, Sweet 16, and Corporate Clients satisfied as the DJ of choice for the World Renown Harlem Riverside Church among other venues. Additionally, DJ Shuttle has his own radio show “The Good Music Int’l Show every Wed online from CW Post Univ @ wcwp.org 9-12 EST.

Lady Assassin a.k.a. D.T.A.'s Lyrical Queen is an aspiring singer / rapper / songwriter born & raised in New Jersey. Music is a huge aspect of her life and it has captivated her from the start. Lady A. was born in East Orange. Throughout her childhood she surrounded herself with music as an escape from the realities of life. Singing always brought her peace & she only did it as a release. At the age of 4, she became the youngest member of her father's drill team and began learning to play the drums. In elementary school, she joined the band and learned how to play the clarinet. She continued with the band through middle school and into high school. In high school, she joined the marching band and choir. She also learned how to play the saxaphone and strengthened her skills on the drums. And then her life turned upside down...when Lady A. was 14, her older sister was brutally murdered, which really devestated her. Her parents got a divorce a year later and she felt as though her life was falling apart. Her mother then moved her and her two brothers to Verona (which was a huge change from East Orange). At this point, Keesha lost her drive for music. She stopped everything all together and retreated to just singing for herself. Going through so many different emotions from the prior two years, she started making some bad choices. Luckily, she graduated from high school but was 8 months pregnant when she did. She became a mom at the age of 19 (she surely wasn't ready but she did what she had to do). Real life had taken over and she was then faced with the reality of raising her son without a father. Everyday she fights to make sure that he doesn't make the same mistakes as his father. So, she gave everything to GOD...she asked HIM to take the load off & help guide her. Guess what??? HE answered her prayers and she met a man that she has grown to trust with her life (she hasn't seen her father since he left). This man stepped into her life and helped her get focused and get it back on track. He made her feel like conquering the world. By 2005, she had two more children (a girl & a boy) and she worked as a preschool teacher. She lived a normal life and music still wasn't back in her sights (even though she thought about it everyday). In early 2006, Lady A. became very ill and spent most of the year recouperating and getting herself back to 100%. In this time she realized that she had made a big mistake by turning her back on her love of music. So she put everything into making it right. "Life is just too short" She really stepped her game up. She started writing to get her skills up and singing hooks for other artists. In 2007, she was picked up by D.T.A. RecordZ (an Independant Label) and became Lady Assassin or Lady A. for short. The 1st Lady of D.T.A. They have built themselves from the ground up. They have their own studio, "The BlackHole", they do all of their own promotions, they even do their own CD duplication, amongst other things. She has been featured on songs with Verbal Assassin (her label mate & CEO of D.T.A.) & Doobie Bad Asz (label mate & fellow femcee). She has performed at several different venues: *Diva Lounge in Montclair, NJ* *60 Park & Grill in Newark, NJ* *Mood Lounge in Union,NJ* *South Park in Montclair, NJ* *Agozar Bistro in NYC* *Gallery Bar in NYC* & just recently *The Good Life Restaurant & Lounge in Union City, NJ* Knowing that she needed to concentrate on finishing her project, she locked herself in the studio (no phones, no computer) just her music, her pen & her notebook and finished her debut street CD "Welcome To My World", which was released in May 2009. It includes the hit love ballad "Cross The Desert". With over 70,000 plays on her myspace page, Lady A. is really on her way to the top. To her singing has always been as natural as breathing but while working on her 2nd CD, she tried her hand at rapping and found that to be a comfort zone. She finished her mixtape in a few months. "A Triple Threat" was released in June 2010 and on it you will find tracks with her singing, rapping and a few of both. It has always been her dream to stand on stage and captivate audiences with her one of a kind lyrical style and with her positive outlook on life and her beautiful smile, once you meet her, you just can't help but to love her. Just listen to her music and you will get to know her. She truly is a "Diamond in the Rough" Lady A. is currently working on her 3rd project entitled "Lyrical Queen" which is due to be released by May 2011. She is also working on the D.T.A. Compilation and getting her skills up recording & mixing sessions. She is also very big on supporting & helping out with great causes. She is currently involved in the "Oath Of Peace" Stop The Violence Movement & is a proud member of The Sanity Gurlz Domestic Violence Movement. Take the time and give her music a chance, she is a true treasure. She has really come into her own and has become one of the baddest female emcee's coming out of the Garden State. 

While Montgomery, Alabama has been known as the center of the Civil Rights Movement, it is also the birthplace of singer/songwriter J-Marsh. The young heartthrob also known as Jarvis Jermaine Marshall, was born to Zula Marshall and George Peavy on October 14, 1987.

When most of the kids in Highland Village were playing “hide and seek” growing up, J-Marsh and his older brother “C.Soul” were playing with lyrics and beats. Since the age of six, J-Marsh has had a passion for music that he continues to release through song. His approach to making good music is rather different from the typical R & B singer. Most songwriters are known to think of a concept to write about and then execute their writings over a nice beat. However, J-Marsh is a “freestyle singer”. His usual music-making setting is comfortable space and limited lighting. All he needs is the beat and he melodiously sings the story of his thoughts. All of his music is inspired by situational thoughts that later form stories to send messages to his audience who may be experiencing those same situations. Therefore, his talent provides substance in his music and his voice is not in vain. When asked to describe himself and what he wants to become in the industry, J-Marsh answers, “I am a laid-back, determined, people person who has a drive for making music & catering to the ladies.” J-Marsh is driven on the notion to “bring back the real R&B and soul” to music. He is inspired by people like Donnie Hathaway, Lauryn Hill, Keri Hilson, Usher, R.Kelley, & the late Michael Jackson. He proclaims that Hathaway’s presence on stage, Hill’s soulful music, and Jackson’s complete package is what kept music alive from its origination. Though J-Marsh does not compare himself to anyone in the industry, he models his career goals similar to those artists’ with longevity. His atypical talent and strong drive will not allow him to be a “one-hit wonder”. Though he possesses his own talent, and is self-motivated, J-Marsh gives great credit to the Alabama State University Theatre Department. “It all started with the ASU Theater Summer Camp,” he notes. During this highly energetic summer camp, J-Marsh worked diligently with well-respected ASU leaders such as Rodney Wilkerson, Terrence Baldwin, & Guenada Lambert, to polish his performance skills. In addition to perfecting his own craft, J-Marsh played a major role in the Theater Arts Performing School (TAPS) at ASU working with younger students to exercise the talents within them. Later after the theater, J-Marsh branched off into the realm of the recording industry. Working with groups like D4L and singing with King South, he was introduced to different aspects of the industry. This helped him to decipher between the avenues in which to channel his drive. From working with different people, J-Marsh immediately understood what it takes for him to succeed in this industry. He believes that the two biggest mistakes that singers make in this industry are those of, “getting caught up in the fame from the industry and not knowing their roles.” J-Marsh is the type of artist who will always show love to his origination. He says that through the busy life of a good artist, his mother keeps him grounded. With his father passing away when he was only three years old, Ms. Marshall was charged with raising him by herself. Words can’t express the love that J-Marsh has for his mother. Therefore, one of his goals is to, “do for her everything that she’s done for me,” he said. Despite the fact that he is a new artist, J-Marsh has some “bedroom music” that is sure to top the charts. Of his compilation, his favorite song happens to be “Textual Intercourse”. This chart-topper is relative to the sexual technological age today texting sexual desires. He is the first artist to use such terminology in such a unique song format. He calls it “sexting”. In addition to “Textual Intercourse,” J-Marsh will be releasing his hit single “Zodiac Signs” in early February of 2011.

Growing up in a musically inclined family, it was only a matter of time before Brandie Cherise Green would discover her niche for creating music. Soon to be known as Remedy, Brandie was born in Syracuse, NY and relocated to Orlando, FL a few years later. After years of sports and becoming a basketball phenom, she rediscovered her musical roots while writing and taking her first jabs at rapping.

At the tender age of 13, an injury caused her to divert her attention from sports and direct attention toward her music; thus she became more familiar with studio equipment, recording programs, and even production programs. Remedy began to attract the attention of thousands on MySpace.com and even caught the eye of several artists, managers, and producers. At 17, she was nominated for a local hip hop award and began to line up shows around Orlando, FL.

Today, still very youthful and full of energy and confidence, Remedy is getting closer and closer to her dream of being a major artist and taking her place among the great emcees of our time. As she likes to say…we should “Witness the Franchise”.

Redd Bull is an independent artist based out of Atlanta GA by way of St. Petersburg FL. This artist is bringing a presence never before seen to the music industry. His immaculate lyricism combined with his sharp delivery puts Redd Bull in a category of his own. Born October 2nd 1985 at Bayfront Medical Center the city of St Petersburg had produced a young prodigy. Born to parents that were not St. Petersburg natives a young Redd Bull was a frequent traveler in and out of the Bay area. Growing up noticing the expansive gap between the wealthy and the middle to lower class in the City of St. Pete was exactly the motivation needed for Redd Bull to put in 110% into everything he did. In early to teen years Redd Bull, like most minority youth, saw either the streets or athletics as the only way to better the situation he was born into. Redd Bull excelled in sports, mainly basketball but frequent injuries showed that Hoop Dreams could dissapear overnight. Indulging in the activities of the streets seemed to come naturally after hopes of NBA Stardom became less and less realistic to Redd Bull. Losing friends and loved ones to the pitfalls of the streets showed that life wasnt promised. This was the inspiration behind the music. After High School Redd Bull moved out of the Bay area and floated around the South gaining fans and supporters along the way. Redd Bull has been paying his dues on the underground Rap scene for long enough the door to the industry is about 2 be kicked in...Its time to change the game.

There’s a saying in the basketball world: You can’t teach height. In the stratosphere of entertainment, it’s star power that relegates education obsolete. It’s also what makes tomorrow such an inviting host for Massachusetts’ first hip-hop star, Amiyj (pronounced Ah-meej). With a fashion model look, consuming charisma, a flammable independent single (“Take A Picture”) and personal story worthy of cinematic attention, Amiyj is you and your significant other’s favorite new MC.Born in Worcester, Massachusetts to a Ghanaian father and Trinidadian mother who weren’t able to financially raise their son, young Amiyj was shipped to his grandparent’s home in Trinidad. With a minister for a grandfather and a Soca band leader for an uncle, Amiyj discovered an appreciation for words and music early on. This appreciation would mature into a passion once the destined MC returned to the U.S and found what would remain his biggest love (until the birth of his daughter): hip-hop. “Yes my extremely diverse background immediately separates me from other rap artists,” says the 28-year-old. “But there’s so much more to my story that I have no choice but to stand apart from the pack.”

Unfortunately, after college, with mixtape sales and a Hollywood modeling contract unable to sustain his new title of Dad, Amiyj returned to hustling, eventually landing him a drug charge in 2008. Fortunately an illegal search helped him avoid prison. Viewing his exoneration as a blessing, Amiyj teamed with Famish Enterprises and fully committed himself to his music, and completely leaving his illegal activity behind him. Now with “Take A Picture” catching fire from Boston to South Beach and his self-titled video grabbing the Internet’s attention, it’s looking like the son of two immigrants is finally ready to live his American dream. “How many rappers lived in a foreign country, are familiar with the street life, went to college, were signed to a major modeling agency and can make hit records with the best of em?”

Normally when you hear the word menace you think something bad or evil. Everything with the word like Dennis the menace to Menace 2 society or menacing shadow. But now when you hear menace you will think greatness due to the emergence of Black Menace. The gritty rapper everyone’s been waiting for since beanie. Black Menace is the resurgence of NY hip hop in its prime. Menace has worked with several artists who have helped groom him in and out of the studio. The songs he releases can be considered ghetto scriptures because of the relativity to those going through the same struggle. Treating everyday like it’s the playoffs go hard or go home menace climbs to success. As the 1^st son of the hood he moves the crowd and makes you drift when he spits. Dirty South “Black Menace reminds me of Beanie Sigeal when he first got signed or even Dmx in the prime of his career.” The hunger and the passion pour out on every track. A Brownsville state of mind is your look into the mind of this Brownsville native. This album depicts street life in its fullest form. Don’t get it twisted he doesn’t glorify street life but signifies he did it to survive not to be another Nino Brown. There are other aspects of the album showing the love for his wife and kids, to the easy mode of smoking a blunt. Black Menace is the beginning of the end of the wack rappers.
