G.L.A.M. :60 sec video for CentricTV Black Music Month
Nacolbie Edward p/k/a G.L.A.M. is no stranger to the spotlight, the Oakland native has climbed the rungs of the ladder that is music politics, only to jump off and do it her own way. Coming from a family of platinum selling musicians that faced adversity, she has seen what it takes to beat the odds, and she plans to do just that with the release of her new album, 'AUXygen'.
She is fresh off the release of the first track, Mistletoe, an "in your face" track that deals with the adversity in her journey and serves as the opening to her closing that chapter of her life and is now ready to release her body of work. She knows first hand the soul crushing results of music politics, the need to fit into the ideas of others and the adversity of being a female producer and rapper that does not condone or contribute to the misconception and misogyny that hovers over woman in this industry all the time.
In fact, it was a string of joining "the group" and the "cool kids" with empty promises and misrepresentations that lead the Oakland native to New York, three years ago. A move that came right around the time she was catching the attention of hip hop blogs, in the hot seats at major labels across the country and sharing stages with the likes of G Eazy, J Cole and Big Sean to name a few. In hopes of a new start she unfortunately found herself enticed by promises from yet another notable relationship that merely led her to another string of failed starts and expectations that she should needs be more like "just another female rapper" or she needs to make more "pop" records. Never truly being heard.
AUXgen is the musical equivalent to the air we need to breathe; pure, incomparable and free. Now more than ever the industry needs just that, pure creativity without any toxic messages or phony gimmicks. Before anyone even thinks of drawing the conscious card G.L.A.M. herself will tell you she subscribes to no label. Yes, a female artist ditching the labels, sounds impossible. But even the cover art is committed to showing the struggle to protect her integrity, hiding her head in a plastic bag that reads, "thank you".
Its not hip hop, it's not pop, it's not electronic, it's music. She is not Nicki, Remy or Foxy or Lauryn... She's G.L.A.M. Your favorite rappers, favorite rapper and your favorite producer's favorite producer. Look out for AUXygen, streaming everywhere today.
TyC - "Get To Know Ya" feat. Nerose
“Get To Know Ya” is the culmination of TyC’s diverse experience in the music industry. A multi-instrumentalist at heart, he combines his unique pop sensibilities with a fresh electronic aesthetic. He wrote the song in New York before he moved to LA, and features his good friend from Berklee who is going by the surname, Nerose. Overtop the drop, he employs vocoder laden overdubs in conversation with hi-fi tribal sounds that captures his unique take on the modern pop sound! He wrote, sang, produced and mixed the record himself and is excited to premiere the single on August 11th!

White Tiger Society - "Why" feat. Stephen Marley
Introducing White Tiger Society
A Collective Fronted by Dajla “The White Tigress” & Producer Comissioner Gordon Williams.
Fusing the sounds of Soul, Reggae, and Hip-Hop, White Tiger Society bursts onto the music scene with a rotating cast of talent led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Dajla “The White Tigress” and Grammy Award-winning engineer/producer Comissioner Gordon Williams. It’s a movement with a shared interest in classic songwriting, live instrumentation, and solid production made evident on the official debut single “Why” featuring Stephen Marley. The track is from the forthcoming debut album, Sound of the White Tiger, to be released on September 15thvia Lalabela Music Group.
"White Tiger Society is a union of reggae, heart-felt soulful vocals and feel-good production,” says Dajla. “We bring these various flavors together with a positive message to create our sound. The Sound of the White Tiger.”
Williams adds, “Stephen and I have a long relationship in music, going back to the days of The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, all the way up to Welcome To Jamrock, on which we worked together, as well as his latest album, The Fruit Of Life. Stephen actually picked ‘Why’ to collaborate with us on, and we are thankful to have ‘Ragga’ as part of the White Tiger family!”
Born in France of a Tunisian dad and a French-American mother, Dajla began playing music at the age of 7 inspired by her parents' Soul, Jazz, Reggae, and Blues record collection. Armed with keys, bass, and vocals, she has made her way through the music scenes in France and the UK while seeking inspiration in central Africa. Dajla has released two albums and an EP to date. She has shared the stage with the likes of Angelo Moore from Fishbone, Nneka, De La Soul, Sa-Ra, & The Brand New Heavies and currently resides in New York City.
Comissioner Gordon Williams’ impact on popular music is undeniable. Dubbed the "Comissioner" (yes, just one “m”) by rapper KRS-One, he experienced the creation of Hip-Hop up close in the Bronx and began DJing & producing. Throughout his career, he has won multiple Grammy Awards including Album of the Year wins for The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill and Santana’s Supernatural. Additional credits include Joss Stone's multi-platinum Mind Body & Soul, Damian Marley’s Grammy-award winning Welcome to Jamrock, and Amy Winehouse’s debut album Frank.
In 2013, Gordon and Dajla met in New York City and through their work, initially as a writing/production team, the White Tiger Society was born.

3x Top 3 HypeM No.1s
Noah Slee, the Tongan born, New Zealand raised, Berlin-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has been sending music critics gaga the past few months with his constant slew of incredible releases. As premiered by Nylon Magazine and out today, Noah unearths "Radar" the final single to be taken from his forthcoming epic debut album "Otherland".
Likened by tastemakers to such luminaries as Anderson Paak, Kaytranada, Andre 3000 and Chance The Rapper, Noah describes his aspirational conception of house inspired, dance anthem "Radar" as seminal, "Radar is paying homage to all the dope musicians paving away at their creations. For me creation and performance are the highlight and why I still love doing music. But for sure the journey gets tough and realities and standard life shit can weigh you down. I remember writing the hook and being ok and satisfied that I can do this among all the challenges that I've faced. Radar started as an acoustic guitar song that then became this upbeat tune that no matter how often I've already heard it (shot a music video, heard it x1000000) I still wanna dance. Which is important.....music + dance = life"
Noah Slee’s hotly anticipated, debut "Otherland" album is a deep, existential body of work. Reflecting upon past life experiences, incorporating contemporary and traditional sounds into his aesthetic, Noah is a creative original. Recording new material reflective of the transient artists sentimental and thoughtful character, incorporating influences from Noah's roots and the international vibe of cultures he has explored and adored, his high energy approach to composing killer, chill compilations is effortless. Producing this latest 12-track LP with producer Ben Esser, both musicians bonded off the back of the "Rampant Wild Free"; An inspired connection was forged between these multi-instrumentalists, as they communicated through rhythm and sound space.
“Otherland” is a soulful exploration of freedom and spiritual progression. Writing an explicit, diary-like account of Noahs sexual awakening and self-discovery, the Tongan native wrestles his conscience on record, as he speaks honestly about the intimate moral conflicts he experiences each day. Standout track "Told” is a poignant ode to self, a stream of consciousness in which Noah accepts himself as a gay man, communicating the need for his families affirmation in the light of this brave disclosure. Head bobbing, paced electronic beats drift beneath Noah’s musings, a sense of life’s greater plan weaves each track to the next. Poetic imagery dawns on each and every song's intro, metaphorical of the new beginnings which will rise, chorus to chorus, song to song, sentiment to soliloquy, morning to night.
Collaborating with Activist Alice, indigenous Aboriginal and spoken word artist, a tribal aesthetic provides a meditative interlude building into “Reality", a piano led ballad which features further Kiwi crafted talented in the form of Jordan Rakei. Speaking on the strong track Noah comments “This is all about my acceptance, awareness and just having perspective on whatever comes my way. This album focusses on being still and silent. It's about my soul, energy and offers a little window into my spiritual journey thus far.”
Sensual and slow winding love song "Lips" changes up the LPs soulful pace, exploring more intimate tempos and demonstrating Noah’s ability to write, sing and perform with flair and multi-BPM dexterity. Love, passion, epiphanies and self-belief theme the LPs lyrical content. “l can remember writing ‘Sunrise' after too many long nights spent out in a row. I just felt like my body and soul needed love and light for change, 'it's just one of them days'.” Noah’s poetry and heightened emotional intelligence benefit the deeper meanings which weave each track to another narrating his right of passage moment.
Influenced by Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Billie Holiday and Fela Kuti; Thom Yorke's "The Eraser" is the integral track which Noah cites as formative to the sound he came to compose today. Interested in the wider environment music can create, the charged moods and heightened emotion which can be conjured up in just the click of a play tab, Noah's sound is distinctively introspective. Mourning the death of friends past, remembering nights which never ended and communicating his appreciation of the gift of life, an artful interpretation of our connection to the earth is brought to life through moving chords and melodies on "Otherland".
An understated talent, celebrated by taste-making platform Boiler Room and Majestic Casual, Noah ambitions for success are rooted in remaining true to himself through the music. Relocating to Berlin from Brisbane, Noah plays everywhere across his beloved 'second home' from basement parties to Berghain, endeavouring to translate the music he makes to fit the crowd he draws in. Noahs passion is rooted with connecting to his audience and establishing the kind of relationship which feels safe and inspirational, kindled between just him and us. "Otherland" is an exceptionally important album which adheres to neither trend nor genre, an epic journey of an LP in which dawns truth, hope and serenity.

Janelle Kroll - "Staycation"
A light-hearted mid-tempo jam, Janelle pays homage to 90's R&B with this cheeky hit perfect for a moment of escapism.
"A lot of my previous songs have been melancholic or reflecting the struggle within relationships, but it's important to be reminded that there's levity too. Sometimes people stick to you like the sweat on the back of your neck after napping with the windows open in the middle of summer. "Staycation" is my nostalgic sonic nod to the millennium R&B that raised me, carving out room for fantasy love" explains Janelle Kroll.
Janelle recently released her music video for single "Barricade" and will be dropping her EP early fall.
Myke Bogan (ft. Michael Christmas) - "Gravy"
Portland's hip hop and r&b scene has really come into the public eye within the last year, and Eyrst Records, an imprint that was started by producer Neill Von Tally and former Portland Blazers player Martel Webster, is in the middle of that scene. The label's next release is LA-by-way-of-Portland MC, Myke Bogan. Past Bogan releases hit the number 14 spot on iTunes Top 100 and the Bandcamp hip-hop charts the day it dropped, and he's been covered by AllHipHop.com, The Source, Flood, Okayplayer.com, Hip Hop Weekly, Hip HopDX, Paste, and even XXL’s The Break. He has successfully set the precedent for his stylized visuals and dynamic delivery, coupled with a charismatic and fiery persona, earning him more than 800,000 video views and landing on the same stage as hip-hop legends Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Wu Tang Clan, and more.
Myke Bogan will release "Pool Party" (with contributions from Michael Christmas, Blossom, Neill Von Tally, and The Last Artful, Dodgr) on Aug 18 via Eyrst Records. Fall tour plans are firming up.
