Featured Artist of the Week 8.1.2010 Presents: B Streezy

Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman, after a brief hiatus Sounds of the Underground is back with a BRAND NEW Featured Artist of the Week! This week's artist hails from New Orleans and is making quite the entrance on to the mainstream R&B scene. I proudly present to you B-STREEZY...B-Streezy is already experiencing success with his hit receiving local radio plays and rotation, in addition to an already growing fan base. Today, you will learn more about B Streezy the artist and the man. You will also get a chance to listen to his music and find out how you can contact him and get your hands on even more of his work. So sit back, relax & enjoy the sounds of B-Streezy...


***Who is He???


In 2009, B Streezy released his first independent album titled “The Love Story”, which sold 10,000 digital copies. His very first single titled “You” hit radio just weeks after the release of “The Love Story”. That year, B Streezy performed in over 6 different States and 26 different cities. His energetic, creativity and artistry are what generated great response from friends and fans alike.


You may ask where all this talent and drive derived from. From the beginning of his career, the core of B Streezy’s music reflects the heart of the south with his lively delivery and soulful presence. On stage and off, B Streezy is true to the art of entertainment. With the legendary sounds of Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Bobby Womack, Sam Cook, in his left hand and the modern appeal of Trey Songs, Mario, Usher, in his right, B Streezy fuses his style into chapters of a never ending story.


B Streezy was born Brandon Clay in the city of St. Rose, Louisiana. He started his musical journey at Little Zion Baptist Church where he song in the choir. He then branched off and became part of the ministering team. Although he loved singing and being an active member in church, somewhere down the line Brandon felt it was necessary to follow his heart’s own musical path. B Streezy credits his spiritual upbringing to being some would say “he is the most down to earth R&B artist they have every worked with.”

Now in 2010, B Streezy gained a lot of respect in New Orleans and in the music industry. He’s worked with major producers such as Sinasta, Blair Taylor, Mike Bass and many others. B Streezy has also worked with A-list local artist and national artist such as Currensy, Chopper City Boy Snipe, Raw Dizzy, C-Murder and Lil Boosie.


Currently B Streezy is working on his new album titled “On The Edge” while still pushing his first project. When asked about his new album B-Streezy responds “One The Edge” is filled with more upbeat track like my new single “She’s Bad’’ featuring LiL Boosie.” According to B Streezy, “This album will show off more of my personal character and help define why they call me “New Orleans Bad Boy of R&B” you will hear common life situation dealing with party, pleasure, and pain in a real edgy spectrum.”

While remaining humble and reserve in character, He believes firmly that he has what it takes to be “a breath of fresh air” in the game which is why he calls himself Tha Future and prefers having the music speak for itself.

FEATURED ARTIST of the WEEK 2/7/2010 Presents: JayeCane

I am proud to announce this week's Featured Artist of the Week "JayeCane"! JayeCane is a rising artist who is gracing the pages of magazines across the country. His style is very unique...raspy yet heavy and above all enticing...Ladies, he's definitely a looker...Guys, can relate to his lyrics & style...Let's take a closer look at JayeCane. And on Twitter, he has ALL the ladies wanting to be a #GOGirl...enjoy...

 

***Who Is He???

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jaye grew up in some of the most extreme situations ever;  having lost his mother, having a father on crack and being raised in foster homes, Jaye Canes pains became his catalyst to survive. Jaye Cane fell in love with Hip Hop at an early age and his interest then helped shape and mold the energetic, and driven artist he is known to be today. “I was very young when I had the thought... but it was only poetry then... at an early age I transformed my poetry into songs but never got in the recording studio until 23. The life I lead was harsh and the houses were always unstable, so the fact i can write words and feel better after, became my way of releasing and expression.”  Jaye Cane’s life being his driving force for inspiration he began to write and record. “Its life’s hardships and joyous moments that inspire me to write.” In his music you’ll find the true man behind the music, his deepest thoughts, passions, struggles, pains and accomplishments. “You can't learn what I know from books. I'm thankful for them all. I’m able to take my past and produce wisdom and inspiration to the youth. I got a million lives to save. My life and journey is what makes me special,” Jaye Cane states. Having the heart of a humanitarian makes his audience feel they can relate to him thus appreciating the music even more. He is “real.” Jaye speaks the truth with a mainstream appeal, a style of music that grabs listeners as radio worthy. “I say soul-tapping words. I'm a scientist. I take the worlds pain in and give you back a cure.” Jaye’s words speaks bounds like Tupac, having the capabilities to affect people when they hear him; He has the appeal of Ludacris, who has a charisma that can be excepted by all ethnic backgrounds and the writing capabilities of Eminem, writing in not only his own genre of Hip Hop but he writes songs for pop artist as well as R&B. Along with his own unique flare Jaye Cane is sure to deliver. A few of Jaye’s musical influences consist of Jay-Z, Nickel back, Brian Mc Knight, Creed, Whitney Houston and Rico Love. Although he has noted these influential people has having an impact on him as an artist and music that he creates, Jaye says he  would he be honored to do collaboration with “EVERYONE”, because they all have a piece that I have in me, that's what pushes me to be a part of this musical circle. It's like a long lost family; hopefully I will get the chance to meet them.”

Jaye Cane’s is not only a talented artist but he has a genuine effect on people through his music and there is a certainty that his message will be felt.  Jaye only hopes that his audience gets his message; he says, “I hope that they too can turn their lives around and come out on top no matter what the situation. I want the youth to use my words as blue prints for the tunnel of a reckless life or for learning how to love and let love. If it’s something you want GO FOR IT with passion and faith. As an artist I can only hope they will see my way of thinking.  I want them to say I changed a few lives and helped them see a way out of things that may have seemed like death was the only option.”  As Jaye Cane’s fan base grows, Jaye Cane cannot deny being in support of the well-being of all people. Jaye says, “I would sit and watch all the charity commercials and they use to make me Pain (ha-ha) i wanted to cry, so I would write down all the information and say that one day when I have a lot of money I will save all the poor sick and homeless people... I just can't help it. The Haiti situation, it hurts me so much that I can't save everyone in Haiti.” 

Jaye Cane has a bright future ahead of him, with mix tapes, EP, MTV songs placements, writing songs for major artist & on tour with major record companies such as Universal records, Jive records and more. Jaye Cane is undeniably Next to Major!!

Featured Artist of the Week 7.4.2010 Presents: Showkase Da Great

Hello again everyone! Sounds of the Underground is back with this week's Featured Artist of the Week. This week's artist hails from Las Vegas by way of Compton. I proudly present to you, SHOWKASE DA GREAT! Today you will find out more about Showkase, the artist & the man as well as ALL contact info and you will hear his music. Sit back, relax & enjoy.

***Who is He???

In the over saturated world of rap, artists are always looking for ways to reinvent themselves as fans are on a constant search for something new and refreshing. Creativity comes easier for some than others. Music is full of duplicates. It is no surprise that with a name that literally means, "an exhibit or display, usually of an ideal or representative model of something," Showkase offers something authentic to peers, fans, and critics.


Twenty-three year old Showkase was born in Compton, California. Raised in a strong household, Kase witnessed hard work first hand. His mother is both his biggest fan, and greatest source of influence. As a child she always told Showkase to "chase his dreams." He did just that relocating to Las Vegas in 2003. When asked, "Why Vegas?" Kase explains that being surrounded with hustle is like a constant encouragement.

Showkase began taking music seriously at age thirteen. Ten years later and he finds himself competing at a level than most only dream about reaching. Although he is not a Vegas native, Kase has planted his roots and has big plans to build an entire from the city, as well as to be known as the artist that put Vegas hip hop on the mainstream map. He has already released two mixtapes (Ikon of a New Era and Turn Me Up), which received an amazing amount of local support.

Showkase expresses that music is his passion and he loves it. It’s not work, it’s a lifestyle. That’s why he is able to stay in the studio for hours on end. Producing projects that people can appreciate. Kase had already completed the sequel to a mixtape series prior to the first one’s release. A combination of work ethic and raw talent equate a recipe for success.
Kase is affiliated with some definite heavy hitters of the game, yet he relies soIely on his own talent to convince the nay-sayers that he is more than a gimmic. Currently he has a library containing nearly one hundred unreleased songs. The best of those will be included on the EP Realrap and Bluez, set to release September 2010. 

"People are going to love the music because it’s a direct reflection of me, and I’m someone that they can relate to. The whole TopDawgEnt, we make "human music," it’s for everybody.

"It took a little while for people to get used to listening to me but the new music speaks for itself," he says. "If anybody doubted before, Realrap and Bluez is going to make them a believer.
