“My name is Jaae Kash. I’m a motivational hip-hop artist who uses thought-provoking tunes to inspire and promote healing, self-awakening and love. I’m a relatively new act out of Los Angeles, California but my lyrics are bold, edgy, and yet positive and uplifting. I make music for everyone and I’m pretty happy with how my fans have responded. My purpose as a Hip-Hop artist is to reach out, motivate, and uplift people while spreading the message of peace and unity to our nation when we need it most.”

Jackie Venson - "Flying" [Video]

August 28, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Music Videos, Soul

Austin-born soul/pop guitarist/vocalist, Jackie Venson, releases “Flying” and announces an extensive tour with guitar legend, Gary Clark Jr. (TOUR DATES BELOW) ahead of her new EP, Transcends, due out September 29 , 2017. Her 2016 live album, Jackie Venson Live, received high praise from tastemakers, including Guitar Player, The Austin Chronicle, SheShreds, Austin Monthly and Texas Monthly, as well as a cover story for Austin Woman Magazine and a spot on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Venson is upping her songwriting chops on the upcoming release that was produced by Michael Ramos( John Mellencamp, Los Lonely Boys, Paul Simon) and mixed by Boo Mitchell (John Mayer, Mark Ronson, Mississippi All Stars). SheShreds declares: “Jackie Venson is one of the most talented up and coming blues guitarists of her generation. With a gorgeous singing voice, a guitar style that is both dynamic and technically precise, and music that blends genres, she is one to watch out for. She is set to release a live album this fall.”

Daughter of Austin music staple, Andrew Venson, Jackie’s early drive for music led her to Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where she picked up a guitar for the first time. Inspired by blues, R&B and pop artists alike, Venson draws on diverse influences ranging from Buddy Guy to Sade to Alicia Keys. In April of 2014, she was handpicked from over 2,000 entries by Southern retail chain, Belk, for their Belk Fashion Lounge concert series. Throughout the series’ five amphitheater performances, she supported famed country and southern icons Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and James Taylor. She released her debut The Light in Me in 2015 and Jackie Venson Live in 2016, wowing audiences throughout the US and Europe with her charming stage presence, virtuosic guitar skills and playful energy. Austin American-Statesman has praised Venson for her “superb musicianship and laid back grace.”

 

Revered for her “her willingness to stand naked lyrically and vocally,” (Austin Chronicle), “few can put together the total package of eclectic, soulful jams and a stridently powerful voice the way that Jackie Venson can." (Texas Monthly) The guitarist/songwriter will bring a fresh sound to Transcends and the upcoming tour with Gary Clark Jr. Stay tuned for the first single from the new EP and more exciting news.

Bay Ledges - "Straight Jacket" [Audio Video]

August 17, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Reggae/Dancehall, Audio Videos

Bay Ledges, the glitchy indie-pop group led by siblings Zach & Georgina Hurd, will release the new EP, FOUNTAIN TROPICAL, on Friday, 8/18, on S-Curve Records.

Bay Ledges self-released the song, "Safe," late last fall and it unexpectedly and rapidly hit three million streams on Spotify. It was at the urging of family and friends that principal band member Zach Hurd even released the song, so its success was most unexpected to him. Making no effort to promote it, within weeks, the track landed on Spotify's "Fresh Finds" playlist, then shot up the Global Viral chart. "At the time I was in Williamsburg, Virginia, helping to clear out my grandparents' old house," recalls Hurd, "Every day I'd wake up to something new. It was so surreal -like, 'This unbelievable thing is happening, and I'm alone in Colonial Williamsburg.'" The band currently reside in Los Angeles, however they are originally from Bath, ME, and the band take their name from a plot of land that the Hurds’ grandparents owned in Maine. In addition to the success at Spotify, the song was selected a "Today's Top Tune" at KCRW. The video for "Safe" recently premiered via Ones To Watch.

Lyrics:

Mickey says to retire I been down in the fire just barely getting by for a brawl

And you’re working at the pet store quietly wondering if anybody sees you at all

 

Darling I’ve been payin attention…cracking bad jokes just to ease the tension

If I could only prove to you that we go together like ice skates and ice skaters do

 

Mickey says I’m a faker a real leg breaker and a second-rate loan shark at best

It’s a living for me but there’s more I could be no wonder he never seems too impressed

 

All I really want is you to come upstairs so I can show you a thing or two

No it ain’t the title dear, but I gotta take a shot at something before I disappear

 

Adrian, I was a goner then…

…I was a goner then you came along

 

Mickey’s changing his tune now that I’m shooting the moon and I might have a chance at the belt

I been wakin up at dawn I been training so long just to hold on to the hand I was dealt

 

And everybody wants a piece but I’d rather give you every little bit of me

Will you hold me in your wings? Tell me that fifteen rounds ain’t the craziest thing

 

Adrian, I was a goner then…

…I was a goner then you came along

 

I don’t wanna waste my life

Even if it’s mine to waste

I don’t wanna die alone and be replaced

 

Everybody needs someone

To share those lonely thoughts

Even a raging stallion’s heart gets caught

 

Adrian I know I can’t beat him

Maybe I can only make it through

Even if I go down swinging

I promise I will still come up for you

 

I was wasting away like a cold philly day just barely making money for bills

You were living at home with your brother afraid you might never make it out for a thrill

 

Looking back it’s hard to say if you saved me or if things went the other way

Darling you’re worth fighting for, step in my ring give me more give me more give me more

 

Adrian, I was a goner then…

…I was a goner then you came along

Derek Minor - "Astronaut" (feat. Deraj & Byron Juane) [Video]

August 10, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Music Videos, Rap

The world can be a heavy place. Some of us allow the weight of our problems to hold us down. Others set limits on ourselves and what we can accomplish. Astronaut is all about blasting off past those problems and defying the gravitational pull that tries to keep us from reflecting greatness. The astronaut in the song is focused on exploring a new world without limits, he is seeking new destinations, and getting high above the gravitational pull.
