California bred, multitalented artist Dialect presents his instrumental album "The Sandz of Time".

The 32 track-heavy project is comprised of sample chops and flips from a wide range of genres and eras.

Darrell Kelley Cries "Take Your Knees Off Our Necks!!!"

 


Viral Records has announced the release of both a DVD collection of music videos as well as an audio album from R&B artist Darrell Kelley. The two share the same title of “Take Your Knees Off Our Necks!!!”.


"Take Your Knees Off Our Necks!!!" has been the cry echoed in urban streets, as sadly, the long list of names from the African-American community and the economically suppressed who were killed by the law enforcement officers continues to grow. Hardly a week goes in the American news cycle that does not contain at least one report of another death of Black and poverty-stricken people at the hands of the police. Darrell Kelley is among the many millions saying enough is enough, and he says it through his music.

ITAMIYO Debuts 3rd Single in 3 Months "Watch Out"

 


Itamiyo, the West African rapper from Cameroon did not come here to play around. “Watch Out” is his third single - in as many months. Itamiyo hit the states  hard with his first single and video “ LOADED,” and he’s not stopping there. He is one of the hippest new voices with creative metaphors and dope rhymes in Hip hop. Now located in Dallas Texas, he is flying high and has created a solid fan base on social media. Also known as Miyo, his new single “Watch Out” comes on the heels of  “Push’n it,” the second single after “Loaded,” on the debut EP “The Rebirth of Itamiyo.” “Loaded” quickly became a fan favorite on YouTube, sparking him to record a hot new video for “Push’n it,” releasing Sep 9th to all video outlets. 

Influenced by UK Drill, and artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Chief Keef, and Pop Smoke, Itamiyo is quickly becoming a big deal in Dallas.

After the release of his first single Loaded, and  Push’n it, his fans are excited and waiting to hear Watch Out. Moreover, seeing the success of Burna Boy and Nasty C, he feels like he can be the next big thing to come out of West Africa. 

Itamiyo says; "I am blessed to be able to bring the music I feel in my spirit to my people. I want to talk about something, say something that will connect with everybody.” This is real hip hop from an international perspective, with a touch of that dirty south. Itamiyo wants everyone to know that he not only raps but he writes and sings as well. 

The new single “Watch Out,” features  SammyCin and will have a video dropping Mid September. Itamiyo knows that content is king, especially hot content. His plan is to keep coming with good hot content and he is not to be denied.

B Young Releases Performance Video of "Eyes Wide Shut" for Vevo LIFT

 

Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, today released B Young’s second performance in his LIFT series, “Eyes Wide Shut”. "Eyes Wide Shut” follows the release of “Livin Easy?” and precedes the release of his short film.
 
Vevo’s LIFT program connects today’s up-and-coming and most relevant artists to audiences around the world  through music video content. Launched in 2011, Vevo's artist development program shines a spotlight on the world's freshest new talent. Vevo LIFT alumni include the likes of Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Halsey, Khalid, Jorja Smith, YUNGBLUD, and more. 
 
Vevo worked closely with B Young and his team to create a gritty, Gotham-esque version of Hackney in East London, where Young is from. “Eyes Wide Shut” takes place on the second floor of a carpark. The dark, oppressive space is supplemented by narrow, letterbox windows that tease police sirens and glimpses of Hackney nightlife. The previously released “Livin Easy?” shows B Young slowly and deliberately making his way up to a rooftop of a carpark, symbolizing his climb to the top. An epic skyline awaits him, symbolising his ascent to the limelight and the beauty of his future.
