Artist of the Decade
I'm not sure how to start this one off other than with a question, what does music mean to you? Is it something to fill the silence, background noise to work to, something to get your thoughts going, beats that make you want to shake it off, what is it? For me personally, it's my savior after a long day, it's the perfect vibe to make have a good time and dance, it helps me get in a feel good headspace, and it makes me feel connected to that particular artist. There is one defining moment when you latch onto an artist, one instance that shakes your soul at the core from their lyrics and connects you on the same brainwaves. Most of you that truly appreciate music are reading this thinking, what was that moment for me and who did I connect to? Guys don't stress, it can be more than one artist but it is only one particular moment that made you go, oh my gosh I felt that line, chorus, song, or album!

The Marathon Continues
I guess you could consider this an open letter to a man who, through being a fan of the person I assumed him to be, I looked at as a role model in many aspects. I am going to try to do my best not to say his name or speak on the day he was taken from us. Honestly, I never got the chance to meet him in person and for all I know, my perception of him as a stand up individual could be totally misguided; although, I don’t believe this to be true, nor is that the purpose of this piece.

ShayeStackzz Is A Young Artist To Lookout For
My name is Yukeisha Nashaye Harris better known as ShayeStackzz . I’m 27 years of age and I’m from Georgetown, GA . I’ve been working on music on and off for 8 years, and finally released my first EP “Can’t Love Em” on all major platforms in May 2020, which was a major accomplishment for me . Growing up in one of the smallest cities in Georgia stands me out from a lot of artists, and causes me to work extra hard on accomplishing goals I have set forth, but I will not let that affect me or stop my grind for what I want . Giving up will never be an option for me . Challenging challenges only pushes and motivates me to go harder and harder at what I do . I was kind of skeptical at first about rapping because I don’t know how to freestyle at all, but the more I wrote the better I got . My first time actually rapping was at school in the cafeteria with my friends just joking around, and we all actually ended up making a whole song out of nothing lol . I wrote and recorded my very first song in 2012 called “Trap House”, but I never released it, just performed it a couple of times . Besides taking care of my son and working my 9-5 I’m writing and rapping throughout the house . My love for music truly turned into a passion I’ll never get rid of . I don’t care how old I get I’ll never retire from making music til I’m taken off the face of this earth . “You have to start out local before going global” is the phrase I keep in the back of my mind and use towards my goals everyday . All the love and local support my people show is so real that words can’t even explain it, and I thank and appreciate them for it everyday . Yeah I know it’s not easy to get in the music industry, and I’m just fine with that . Getting signed would be a major plus, but all I’m really aiming for is to be heard . I’ve been investing in myself and will continue to invest in myself no matter what . In my industry my biggest influences are Tupac, NWA, Nipsey Hussle, Master P, Dr. Dre etc. because of the vibes they give through their music is what enhances me to keep writing and keep striving for the best because in the end I know it’ll all pay off . In the next 5 years I see myself progressing with my music, giving back to charity cause I’ll never forget where I came from, and most of all investing in myself . Meanwhile I’ve started working on my second EP called “Street Love” so make sure y’all stay tuned for it . As of right now my top 5 favorite artists that I adore and look up to are Lil Baby, Da Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, Trina, and Youngboy . Opening up shows for either one or all of them would be sooooo bomb . Or even having them pop up on me at one of my performances would be nice . One of the best experiences I’ve had so far while being an artist was performing at coast 2 coast live in Atlanta, GA . The crowd rocked out with me without even knowing me, the judges were real and upfront, the DJ was super turnt, and overall the atmosphere was lit . The vibes in the building that night was everything . I definitely look forward to doing it again . For everyone that has a dream of going big including myself never give up, never quit, if you fail get up and try again . The sky is the limit. Be blessed

The Rocking Life: DJ Mighty Iris
DJ Mighty Iris: DJ for rock radio 93.7 KCLB in Palm Springs, California I felt a little bit off the day that DJ Mighty Iris began working as a DJ for 93.7 KCLB rock radio in Palm Springs, California. I was already used to the person that she had replaced and while DJ Mighty Iris had a lovely voice and a charming radio personality, I missed the other DJ.

Only a handful of these rappers like ASAP Rocky, Migos, and others have managed to go traditionally mainstream at large-scale level; there are a number of musicians who have amassed sizeable national audiences by sharing their music online.
