Chekx Releases New Visual "Beautiful (Viral Video)" : Watch

We recently caught up with the amazingly talented, national recording artist, Chekx to catch a glimpse of his musical journey. The Kingston native has shown his fans that not only is he a man of purpose, talent and passion behind his craft, but he is also a determined entrepreneur pursuing expansion of his brand and talent into the likes of Rasta Steve where he was featured on his album, “Like A Yardie” on the track titled  “Cellular”. Sooner after, he collaborated with the 7 times Grammy considered, Budukusu on a hardcore dancehall track titled “Give Thanks”. Below were some of the questions we asked him.

1) How did your name come about?

• My oldest brother is called Trex, so I mimicked the name to Chex but had to choose Chekx because of the Chexmix Cereal

2) When did you start your love for your craft? 

• I been singing in both the church and school choir since I was a child. My sister was always singing around me while my brothers always listened to various types of music of different genres, so music has always been around me.

3) What made you decide you wanted to pursue a career in music? 

• My friend, Jah Caution, who passed away. He was talented and I wanted to get him out there so I started producing a few beats and outsourcing other producers so I could gain him recognition. As we vibed together, I started constructing my own lyrics and flows to inspire him as he inspired me.

4) How do you usually come up with the concepts of your projects? Tell us the meaning and vision behind the four songs you've created?

• It's all about life experiences. The 'past' what I been through as a person, the decisions I made then that curved me into the man I am now and where I see myself in the future. Also, seeing through other people's perspective and not just mine.

5) What are your plans for the future?

• Achieving my objectives, goals, visons and dreams. Earning enough to take care of my family and loved ones. Giving back to the poor and needy.

The Rise Of Carson Attaway

Billy Joel once said that he thinks “music in itself is healing… it’s an explosive expression of humanity” and Attaway creates art that lives up to this expression in every sense.

To the Little Rock, Arkansas native, music is a lot more than a hobby. Losing his mother at the hands of his father at the age of 13, Attaway found himself battling through adversity that most couldn’t even imagine. The extreme trauma turned the young kid’s reality into a nightmare. He found that music provided an escape from the darkness that was his reality, letting his deep emotions flow over beats.

At 18, Attaway has found true passion, coupled with raw talent, that has stimulated the evolution of his music career thus far. His unique sound and superior lyricism allows him to connect and resonate with his fans through rap music with finesse. His presence in the industry was solidified when he released his debut project ‘The Come Up’ that has accounted for 600,000+ streams to date on Spotify alone, not to mention the 17,000 followers on Instagram and almost 50,000 followers on TikTok that came with it. As he continues to gain exposure and grow his fanbase, he intends to inspire his audience to do what they love without regret and chase after their dreams.

The release of Attaway’s most recent single ‘Butterflies’ reinforced his position as an artist and proved that he is in the game to stay. He uses his superb lyricism and melodic flow to create a relatable song that expresses the feeling of nervousness that occurs when you are in the presence of the significant other that catches your attention. Everybody knows them.

Attaway has the talent to leave a significant impact on the rap game and intends to use his platform to impact as many lives possible in a positive way. He’s lived through a nightmare that has allowed him to live his dreams. As he continues to develop he is not someone you will want to miss, check out his work and support him before the entire world does!

How did you come by your stage name?

I was born Nelson Gabriel Alvarez in Puerto Rico. My artist stage name is Ayyo Yung Gotti. The name Gotti comes from “God Only Talk Through Intelligence” and I am keeping my head high for God’s glory.

When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?

When I was 13 y.o, I would get into rap battles all the time, and I realized I was good at it. Little did I know it at the time, but this would be the key to me striving to move forward with my rap career.

To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?

The Rapper Big Pun...and may his soul Rest In Peace.

On your current project, how did you come up with the concept?

It was a fledgling idea when I heard the track from JamMar Moguls’s “Rising Star Producer” Aaron Peil. 

Aaron needed someone to do the rap for the track he produced, and he came to me with the idea “Turkey Butt.” 

This song is a shout-out to all the intelligent, strong, independent ladies out there who are proud of their beautiful “junk in the trunk”.

What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

I’ve had a rough life. I have been out on the streets and living on my own since age 14. I’m trying to get my life straightened out now. My greatest attributes has been my grind. I grind all the time. I’m busy performing and working on shows (even through this coronavirus). I’m constantly working on my craft and putting out new music.

Are you the best at what you do in your opinion?

I will let my fans and others judge for themselves my artistry and work.

What are your plans for the near future?

Grammy, Grammy, Grammy. 

Is there anyone you’d like to thank? Any shout outs?

God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and my manager, James Raymond....without them none of this would be happening. I’d also like to thank the team at JamMar Moguls, especially Executive Marketing Director, Jamaica Johnson, and JamMar Moguls CEO/Creative Director, Marlana T. Alden. These are the people that are making it happen for me.

Come December 10, 2020, at 1 pm; Turkey Butt will be premiering on YouTube. Ayyo Yung Gotti hopes to use rap and clever lyrics to inspire young people to greatness. He also wants to be seen as a driving force in the music industry, inventing trends, and shaping history.

RedrumSociety Fights His Way Back to Number One

            For RedrumSociety, one of the hottest alternative bands in 2020, the road to success hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride. Founded by a group of high school friends in 2008, the band was rising fast but collapsed under the leadership of front man, Zach Cohen, with troubles facing him from seemingly every angle, the singer/songwriter/guitarist went into hiding from 2015 to 2019, bringing the band with him into the hiatus. In the span, RedrumSociety only quietly released one song, “Trust Fund Girls.”

            In 2016, Zach checked into a rehab facility, slowly and quietly turning his life around and clearing the wreckage of his past. Unbeknownst to him at the time, these steps led Zach to RedrumSociety’s turnaround as he now has successfully mounted a full-fledged comeback. Since then, he has written and released such songs as “How I Cope,” “Ego,” “Crumble,” and most recently, the “Street Fights” EP—All of which enjoyed success on the charts in their respective genres.

            The new album is somewhat of a break off from the traditional RedrumSociety theme that Zach portrays which is his role of the victim in his various relationships with women. Instead, the album sheds light on the chaos of the social and political turmoil 2020 has seen, through Cohen’s eyes. Zach says the single track; “Street Fights” was inspired by the 1968 song “Street Fighting Man” by the Rolling Stones. The last two focus on his failed relationship as a result of the quarantine.

            The album and the single, “Street Fights” both reached the number one position on the iTunes Blues charts. Since the band was founded in 2008, a member has died, some have been arrested, some gun shot. They were at a time disbanded, hiding, and reeling. For all Zach and RedrumSociety has been through, they have shown the ability to fight for survival by continuing to write songs and perform, keeping their fanbase growing more and more as they push through obstacles, both internally and externally.

Please introduce yourself and tell us about what it is that you do. 

My daily purpose is to help my clients, artists, mentees, and business partners discover their true niche within their brands or company. I wear a few hats in the entertainment business, so to sum up what it is that I do in one question would pretty much be impossible. Lol However, I will say my goal towards anyone who meets me is to walk away and say they actually learned a thing or two and, most importantly, found more efficient ways to bring profit towards their journey into financial freedom.

Please tell us about your company.

I'm the Founder and CEO of SS Global Entertainment, COO of Amada Records, and Business manager to a select few elite clientele in the entertainment industry. Music Distributor and publicist for over 4,000 musicians and 47 record labels. International hotel broker for the National Hotel's Association. Author and writer for eleven publications such as google news verified, Hush Weekly, Revolver Magazine, and Grind Weekly Magazine, just to name a few partnered with Hush Media Networks. 

What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey? 

My main focus on the word “Integrity” is what has allowed me to receive full grace and respect in this business. It's not really a strategy; it's more so what makes up most of the Blueprint when it comes to how to progress and grow within my journey. The Entertainment Industry can be considered a cold, money-hungry industry where most people are or at least seem to be more about “self.” I chose the opposite when it came to my purpose. The name of my company is called “Shared Success” Global for that very reason. I wanted to show people that there are plenty of ways to succeed TOGETHER vs. always competing and stepping on necks and backs to climb higher. Other than that, consistency, persistence, and hard work are pretty much what make up the key factors for maintaining stable growth and status in this business. At least that's what it's been with me. In other words, while others were crying for sleep complaining about putting in 40+ hours in a week, I was putting in 80+ to ensure I stayed ahead of the game. 

Any message for our readers. 

Work hard. Focus on building something that is only exclusive to you as an entrepreneur. Make history. Most importantly, don't forget to have fun. It's not always about work, work, work. At the end of the day, you want to make sure you can end your story with a smile.  

Fantastic! So tell us, how can people find out more about you?

You can learn more about me here at my official website.

Taurean Meacham Champions Black Life, Wealth and Value In Explosive New Rap Album ‘BLAKK RADIKAL’

The 30th of October 2020, Honolulu-based rapper TAUREAN MEACHAM is exploding back onto the conscious hip-hop scene with ‘BLAKK RADIKAL’, his third project this year and his best work to date. This album is raw, real, full of rage — and it deserves to be heard. He’s talking ancestors and martyrs (‘Saviour’), slavery and shootings (‘Hands In The Sky’), anxiety and insomnia (‘PTSD’). It’s a lot to tackle in one record — and yet Meacham nails it with inimitable finesse. This, above all else, is an album of substance.

“The album is my most complete work to date. There are no wasted bars.” — TAUREAN MEACHAM From an epic intro with soaring Bond-esque orchestral textures (‘The Gift and The Curse’), to a playful Latin inspired/speakeasy jazz crossover (‘Camp Lo’), to the bassy, bossy trap track ‘Thrones’, Meacham proves over and again that he’s not only an artist who understands melody and rhythm, but a self-managed, self-published hip-hop veteran whose level of storytelling, rap flow, production value and attention to detail is impressively, consistently masterful. “The sound is the album spans all sounds of hip hop.

It goes from boom bap, to west coast funk, southern trap, and even classical music. I wanted to challenge myself with the production on the album by having various soundscapes that all flowed cohesively.” Released in July, lead single ‘CHECKS over STRIPES’ — with its addictive, think-twice hook — hammers home the necessity of self-ownership over Black creativity, wealth and life. With scathing metaphors soothed by empowering bars (‘hands on the wheel/create your own lane’) Meacham shows that he’s not here just to sound good on the beat: he’s here to teach us something.

Striving for excellence is explored in ‘The Life’, where Meacham paints his ideal vision of an empowered Black family, placing emphasis on acquiring generational wealth and property. He later spits venom in ‘Juneteenth’, a takedown of the constitution in the wake of Black Lives Matter. Recorded in Hawaii at Primaphonix Studios and engineered by Jerry “SubZero” Wilkins, this album is pain. It’s anger. It’s radical Blackness. And it’s Taurean Meacham at his finest. ‘BLAKK RADIKAL’ is available on all streaming platforms.

ABOUT TAUREAN MEACHAM

Taurean Meacham is a hip-hop and R&B artist based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Known for his conscious rap style and experimental samples, Meacham’s driving force is, in his own words, storytelling: “Music is the number one form of communication across all civilisations. It tells the story of the people. I’m just looking to tell mine.” Influenced by music legends from Prince and Nas to Jimmie Hendrix and David Bowie, Meacham’s creative process is “coordinated chaos” - the one constant is that the words always come first.

He has released a number of independent albums, including November (’06), Untitled (’07), Oahu Noir (’20), JG (’20) and BLAKK RADIKAL (’20).

Franchise TYG Talks Surgery, Billboard Charts, and New Deal

A report came in to Mercedes MiLano (The Revolver‘s Chief Editor) this weekend about recording artist, Franchise TYG.  He’s been hospitalized for stomach complications and had to undergo surgery. We spoke with the artist after his recent Billboard success and he sounded fine.  We spoke on his latest release “Ice on Me”, which features former RCA artist Rory Fresco.  The track landed on the Rap and R&B/Hip Hop Digital Song Sales chart on Billboard, October 27th.

What are the Billboard Charts?

The Billboard charts tabulate the relative weekly popularity of songs and albums in the United States and elsewhere. The results are published in Billboard magazine. Billboard biz, the online extension of the Billboard charts, provides additional weekly charts, as well as year-end charts.

Marquise Lightfoot aka Franchise TYG dropped his single “Ice On Me” Remix and has dominated the charts since release. Even though the song was released in 2019, it wasn’t until September and October of 2020 that fans started to obsessively stream and listen to the track non-stop. “Ice On Me” features former RCA Records artist, Rory Fresco and is on the verge to 1 million streams on Spotify. Franchise TYG stated, “I peaked at #19 on iTunes in the Hip-Hop/Rap genre and that’s when I really started to pay attention.”

“I never thought the song would be this much of a hit, but I guess I was wrong. I’ve received nothing but good feedback.” says Franchise TYG.
