The Twins Organic Vibe

 

#Twins #OrganicVibe

“America loves twins especially handsome ones like us lol”

 

 Best Advice 

Their grandfather: 

"Stay focused and stay together..." 

 

The identical twin Artists’ aka Karolina Pride and Benny Broadway from Fuquay Varina NC bring a new flame of energy to the music scene! They have performed from NC to Alabama. The blogs, venues and the radio stations are in such an uproar over them!

 

They definitely have music in their bones but also, Pride actually attended the art institute of Atlanta for audio production and music business and he’s been doing music his whole life starting early in their grandfathers’ church playing the drums.

 

 

When it comes to the music industry it’s best to be as versatile as one can be; they like to consider themselves “a jack of all trades.” They were able to create their own sound to include rapping and singing. The best part is they bring passionate energy like during all performances.

 

 

Since they’re twins’ they have shared just about everything from a sandwich to their mothers’ womb lol Their first studio experience was fun but a learning process for both of them. The challenge? They had to adapt to the studio, the technical and professional environment throughout the entire creative music process.

One of the truths behind idea making it in the music business is to find motivation and inspiration. In reflection Pride shares that he got his inspiration from writing poetry early in his life and learned to find lyrics to fit his own personality and style. He then passed those same skills to Broadway to empower him during his battling rapping and writing songs. 

In most cases Artists have a few favs or a favorite on their albums. Prides’ favorite song on their current album has to be: Slayed lol because it’s just a “well rounded track full of energy Swagga and personality” shares Pride with a quirky smirk and confidence. But on the other hand Broadways’ favorite track is Scorned because of the pain he felt while making the song. 

Now when it comes to performing they have a good attitude about it. They could have a crowd of 5,000 or 5 people in the audience either way they still make the most of the experience and have fun! In a thoughtful reflection they share their most memorable stage moment was performing at Kick Fest at the Red Hat Amphitheater. It was the biggest venue they have been in so far and the Artists on that bill were epic. 

 

Congratulations to 1Uptwinz on getting their track: NU DRIP with Lvitto in a new NIKE basketball ad campaign. If you haven’t heard it check out a sample here:

ALSO They’re currently working on: 2 Different 2 and working on new visuals. So be on the look out for all new material from this dynamic twin power!

 

You can find them on any social media platform via @1uptwinz and you can find their music on any and all digital platforms.

 

Slim Kors: Current Album (Kors Baby)

 

Keep working on your craft

Trust the process

Have Faith..

 

There is no doubt that NC has the some of the heaviest hitters in the music game out right now most of them are rappers…BUT Slim Kors is a Singer and Lyricist from Raleigh NC and he grew up with a church foundation so, music has always been in his family.

 

He first became serious and more passionate about singing at the age of 21 when his grandfather passed away. It still took him some time to actually step in the studio at 26 years old.

 

Current Album Called: Kors Baby

 

The inspiration behind the project (which he wrote all his music) included reflections and memories of his life patterns interacting with his family and his relationship with his wife with also bits of his opinion about the current music scene.

 

It’s one thing to

establish yourself as an Artist but to synch and or vibe with another Artists’ who see, hear and feel the vision opens new doors. So, yes he has collaborated with a Artist that goes by Payne you can find the song “Magic Stick” on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. He has two unreleased collabs with Ty Harriz  and is working on two other features with two other Artists. -We definitely look forward to hearing the next collabs!

 

Many Artists would say that all the songs that they have written are their favorite but for Slim the song “24 Hrs” is the one that kind of hits home. He goes on to share that “prior to that I had done my wife wrong, and so I felt like this song was the perfect way to express myself…” 

That song was like the 3rd or 4th song he recorded, so his lyrics were kind of all over the place. He didn’t know entirely how to structure a song lyrically, but other than that the song is a hit in his eyes.  

 

He’s had 19 Shows since the summer of 2020, when he first started recording music. His most memorable performance was the The First time he performed “New Jam Rock” at Rose Bar in Raleigh, NC

He did exceedingly great for his first time performing on an RNB level. He even got his wife involved and kept the crowd entertained. 

 

 Sometimes as an Artist certain situations trigger us, to the point of getting upset. A good example was when Kors got on stage to his thing and sing at a networking event and people started talking during his performance. (-well… that’s kinda rude geez).

 

Okay so we learned a little bit about Slim Kors... but not only is he a quality sound singer he can also sketch too! 

 

 

His show on June 27^th definitely perked up many ears to his sound. Also he is work on his EP, and a Video Shoot all while pushing content until his new release dates get closers. Stay tuned!

LVITTO: THE RED WORD SPEAKER

 

I'm not sure when the idea of "Good Quality and the concept of: TRUTH came back into existence but I'm very certain that once I heard his music that Truth and GOOD QUALITY were back with an amplified excellence and elevated passion! 

Successful Quotes to Remember

    "Be YOURSELF Speak YOUR truth 

No one and do you better than YOU."

    "I don’t follow the wave I make the wave."

 

LVitto

 

He is from Durham, NC aka the “Bull City.” He’s an Artist, Supreme Lyricist, MC hybrid, Investor and CEO of a full-service entertainment company called Family Bizness. He considers himself the “Red Word” speaker, as he speaks truth similar to the way the words of Jesus words were highlighted in the Bible.

His grandfather used to sing and play instruments for his church. Yet, the gift of creative art has always been passed down from his father’s side of the family. Lvittos' passion for music was conceived at age 10 when he first saw the “Victory” music video by Biggie Smalls. It was his first music video that he’s ever seen with such a cinematic visual, not to mention, in his opinion Biggie delivered a captivating performance lyrically. The entire roll-out compelled him to make music. 

Now, as a Creative Mind or Artist we pull our inspirations from different experiences in life, thoughts and reflections. So, our creativity can come from pretty much anywhere; from artwork with artistic influences from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Pablo Picasso, and then of course inspiration from family, the weather, the news, energy from other people and then naturally from: life. In his opinion, "life is the most influential component" that ignites his drive, passion, and creativity! 

BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE

It’s safe to say that the 90s music era became his BIGGEST inspiration highlighting some the most lyrically diverse and entertaining Artists’ in the music game such as: Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem, Fabolous, and Lloyd Banks. Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac, Common, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and many others... 

(#MemoriesShared)

One time, he saved his money and purchased a handheld tape recorder which he took everywhere. He and his best friend use to record in the bathroom treating it as their “studio.” Yet, over time, his skills advanced and he began battling in his neighborhood well on into his high school years. 

His nickname was “Los”, that’s short for his name, Carlos. But, that name quickly changed to “Los Vegas” because he was the youngest kid in cyphers with young adults and he still managed to steal the spotlight each time! Of course, with increased popularity and his advanced delivery and wordplay, the older guys in the neighborhood never wanted to invite him go to their studio.

He shares: “I can still remember hearing them playing their music down the street and me saying to myself, “I’m way better than them. Fast forward to now, I’ve recorded two critically acclaimed projects, have music streaming online and the radio. I also have a well-established company that provides management and opportunities for rising artists both locally and beyond!”

Name of His Current Album Entitled:

SOON

The inspiration for this album started with these reflections: “In life, people work hard to achieve the ultimate goal of success; however, some are never 100% confident that they will succeed. In 2019, I believed that the work I have put in throughout the years was starting to be recognized and respected, and the music I was creating at the time was reinventing...” So, he collaborated with a few NC greats and made classics with them all. The sound of the music amplified success and it felt like a victory lap so he called it “SOON.”

He's participated in several performance that his company has thrown. But, his most memorable show was his companys’ first event at Pinhook in downtown Durham, NC. A concert series called “The Pinnacle” was created to showcase Durham’s top Artists of multiple genres. The highlight of the event: They packed the venue on a Thursday night for their FIRST EVENT!

FUTURE OF THE MUSIC

In accomplishing his music goals he holds a “Phenomenal roster of Artists within Family Bizness: Mally Evana, Ethan Taylor, Blessed Wins and Kronoz Time. But with his most recent album he collaborated with Artists such as: Swife, Shame, Jooselor, Chyna Vonne, Fess, 3am, Quentin Rashad, Tiyane Clarke and that’s just to name a few.

As most are aware with any levels of success there will be certain challenges as LVITTO reflects with sincerity: 

"I’m a genuine straightforward person; however, in this industry, not everyone is in it for your best interest. I had to recognize that fact and learn to navigate around the vultures of the industry."

The music that he’s creating now speaks to his current position mentally, spiritually, and as an Intelligent Black Man in America. He goes on to share that “the music he is currently working on is some of the best he has ever created.  The LIGHTS, CAMERAS, and some incredible visuals will be coming out very soon! Also, he plans on reaching out to the youth so that they can grow with music. He hopes to guide them in a direction of entrepreneurship and ownership!

Shaun Redrum: Risk Brings Reward

Best advice Received

“Embrace the struggle and write songs about everything as you went through it.” 

Favorite song he has written is: 

“Love You Like I Do” from the Risk Brings Reward.

Shaun Redrum is from Raleigh NC. He’s an Independent Artist searching to get the maximum out the rap game and seeking global exposure.

https://youtu.be/FM_QOTToZ-k

Having the ability to create music that not only engages the audience but also leaves them wanting more is considered a “Gift.’ He is versatile and relatable and considers himself to be a Lyricist because of how well he can put words together on a variety of instrumentals with any type of style of rap. He definitely believes himself to be a “a true Hip Hop Artist to the core!”

His inspiration to create music was inspired by Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle album. After listening to that album, he wrote his first song at 11 years old in the 6^th grade. He knew then that Hip Hop would be apart of his life forever!  

 

😎💥Current Album💥😎

As an Artist there should be that underlying reason for why you want to make it in this game; what motivates you? What's your purpose for dominating in the Rap and Hip-Hop industry? 

So Shaun's current album was inspired by him walking in complete bold faith. He wanted to start a new beginning! (Nothing wrong with that...) So, he left his job of 6 years and from there kind of went into his new journey blindly. 

He took risks and made moves that he didn’t believe would actually work but later found that he was being rewarded with constant wins! He added with enthusiasm: “because you have to take chances on yourself in order to gain…” So that was his inspiration and all the songs recorded for the project were created during that time in his growth. 

All of his songs are 100% authentic and written by him! Any collaborations yet ? No, hasn’t collaborated with a lot of Artists’ as of late; why not? Well, he kind of feels that a lot of Artists don't understand the (music) business and still view it as just a hobby. But, he has an excellent ear for Good Quality Sound so he is still very much open to working with numerous Artists’ and Creative Minds in the near future.

It's not enough just to write music but you also have to get in front of an audience. He's performed at around 11-20 venues so far and counting. His most memorable stage performance was at Volume 11 The Tavern back in 2010. That’s where he practiced his skills, talents and gift and really grew himself into a Lyricist and Performer as a Rap Artist.

How Exciting would it be if  Jay-Z, Drake or Future called you right now and said they wanted to collaborate with you? Pretty damn exciting! I know! But that celebrity figure that Shaun Redrum would work with would be: Gucci Mane. 

"Why?"🤔 He said he admires his mentorship and the knowledge he shares. He also likes the fact that he has been in the game for a minute but still bring the full energy to the stage! He also has found a way to reinvent himself and still be successful. “That's someone I can look up to…” Shaun Redrum states in full confidence.

💥What's next for #1 of  Raleigh's Hottest Artist?

The future is full of success, yet right now he's working on singles, looking into promotion and expanding his brand in all areas! We should be on the look out for excellent new material from him in the next couple of months. Also, he just finished doing like a boom bap Hip Hop run (Can't wait to 👂 it)! He's just working on making good music and growing his catalog.

ICONIC BOND: We Here Now (And More)

Welcomes with the Greatest Appreciation
 

Iconic Bond

https://www.theiconicbond.com/

Originally from Cairo, Egypt

Raised in the states since he was 4

He moved around a lot but finally made his way to NC. He lived in Winston-Salem and went to school at WSSU. Then after college he moved to Raleigh, NC.

He’s done 7 shows since he started. He’s headlined 3 of them.

His most memorable stage performance and best show would be his very 1^st headliner show. 

Iconic energy and stamina allow him to electrify at performances. He considers himself an MC because he can move a crowd and vibe with them when he’s on and off stage. But he is also a lyricist because he takes time to think about what he’s writing. He’s always loved wordplay so it’s something he’s constantly working on to perfect.

He is currently in the works to kick off an amazing first album which could be out before the year ends! The album will be kind of like his origin story. How so? Well it would be a collaboration project with his best friend Badlogic who produced the whole thing; exciting! 

He goes on to share “Me and him started on this music journey together,” “Literally one day he said “bro, I’m buying FL Studio” and I immediately went and bought a mic and created a little in-home studio and we began making music”" So this album is the compilation of the best songs they made together since they started.

He shares with a sarcastic smile: “Is there any other way to create music? I write everything I put out there. I think if you don’t write it, then what’s the point…”

As far as collaborations with other artists, he’s had one that has been made public so far (more to come soon…) and it was a song he featured on called Revolution that dropped earlier this year with the amazingly talented: Queen Sanaa.

The best advice he’s received: From his Manger before he went on stage for the first time was: “The stage is a boxing ring, when you step on that stage, your goal is knock them out”. The meaning behind this is basically to leave your heart and soul on that stage. You have to give it everything you got and perform the music with the same energy that helped you create it!

Iconic Bond continues in a gentle sentiment: “he also told me to stop trying to do everything alone. I love having control of everything I do so it was very hard for me to let go of certain things and allow other people to help me on my journey. It took me a while to get used it, but I finally got there.”

Music is the gateway to all types of possibilities. He’s have been writing ever since he was high school. He’s always had a love for poetry and music. Since originally coming from Egypt, the music scene is huge and it’s all very poetic and deep in meaning.

Hip-hop to him has constantly been the ultimate form of music if used correctly. It can change entire generations and it already has. On top of that, his favorite Artists are all amazing poets when it comes down to it. So that’s what inspired him to write.

The start was just the beginning but then he went to the next step in creating actual music with his youth group. He worked closely with a group of young brothers in the community. Then seeing them go from middle school to graduating college, he was able to see the impact that hip-hop had on them. Now in his opinion, he didn’t like the negative energy that it instilled in them and that is primarily due to what the current top Music being played was. See, he grew up listening to a whole different type of hip-hop so when he saw that, he felt the need to fill that void. On top of that, he was able to show them that they could also create music when they saw him do it.

His current favorite track written is one called: “Floating;” that song is on his first mix-tape entitled: The Breakthrough. Now, that track holds a special place in his heart because he was sitting up one night listening to this beat and instantly he was inspired to create a track about writing and creating a song. So he ended up literally spending the whole night until the sun came back up and wrote the thoughts that were going through his mind while creating it. When he was finished, it was the best feeling ever.

Each Artist can find inspiration and have a desire to work with a well-known Celebrity Artist in the music industry. The Artist that Iconic Bond would choose to work with if he could pick one would be: J Cole. He shares that J. Cole’s energy and ability to switch emotions track to track is amazing to him. On top of that, he thinks their music is similar in a way.

Why does his audience consider Iconic Bond different? Well because In the hip-hop game, he stands out because he is Egyptian (lol) and he’s cleaner in his lyrics than most rappers. Also, his music is easily adaptable to any person regardless of their background. He makes music that many types of people can enjoy, no matter what their race, ethnicity or beliefs are on the daily. He talks about life as it is, not as he wants it to be or as other people want it to be. He shares about real life situations from his eyes.

The future of his music is exciting. He is currently working on this collaboration album with his bestfriend: badlogic. He’s got another one already in the works, almost done with some amazing artists and producers. He’s hopeful that when the world opens back up he will begin touring a little bit outside of the local scene to spread his name around a bit.

His latest music video is called: We Here Now (https://youtu.be/6ViDSonmrgo).  He’s just ironing out some of his upcoming projects getting them ready for release. Also, he’s working on storyboards for the next couple singles so he can begin shooting the music videos.

Brian Fury: Must Hear "Sparks & Explosions"

www.brianfurymusic.com

Brian Fury

Best Advice: 

"blood is thicker than water but the agreement is thicker than blood"

Well-known Artists He Would Work with

Jadakiss and Fabolous! He has always dreamed of working with raw talent!

Originally born in Brooklyn, NY

 Relocated to Durham NC in 2011

He believes with confidence that he is more of a Recording Artist and Song Writer at the moment but he doesn’t limit himself. He knows he will be performing on the stage more in the near future. He is currently promoting his new single "Sparks & Explosions" produced by Lokey in partnership with Blackops Militia set to release with an upcoming World Breaker: Fury EP (the song has already been praised by Insomniac Magazine and OT Genasis himself). The World Breaker Fury was mixed by Absalute from Bullcity Sound studio.

Every Artist and Creative has a reason for their creations. So, the concept for World Breaker signifies strength, - that being a balance in music productivity which shows diversity. The Sparks & Explosions references the wonderful beginnings of relationships until those beginnings are worn out, “something I’m sure a lot of people can relate too,” he adds thoughtfully. He writes all his lyrics but he’s always open to working with a variety of Artists to bring to life his captivating Masterpieces. His current featured Artists are with: BoogottiShiceRed @shystyred172 and Rasheeda Wallace @rasheedawallace

His reason for getting into music is a simple one. He explains: “I got tired of hearing garbage on the radio so I started writing...” His uncle was a DJ at the time and they spent countless hours passing the Mic during events and during that time he understood why he is such a huge fan of: The Lox, Fabolous and anyone with actual lyrical skill delivery and ability.

Most Artists’ will say that they Love all their songs but when asked to reflect on which one would be his favorite he shared that he and  “Boogottishicered have released 3 mix- tapes since beginning their collaborations two years ago (2018). But, their standards on music quality is very high, so it’s hard to say which one, but if he HAD to pick a song, he would say "Sparks & Explosions" because of the he feels the audience will definitely relate to it!

 

Concerts & Performances

He hasn't had many performances, at the most maybe 2 or 3. But, back in 2012 he did perform at The Pour House! Of course, the crowd was awesome! He shares with enthusiasm “It was such a pleasure performing there!” In his element he had to evolve as an Artist first before he just started putting himself out there completely. So that meant perfecting his music craft and delivery. He truly feels that now he’s at a point where he’s satisfied that his music will go internationally viral. 

What makes him standout from the rest of the Artists? Well he shares with a joyful confidence “not many good Puerto Rican Artists out there! Also I have a unique vocal sound unlike anyone, although some have tried to compare lol. My flow is custom to the beat I write to, the delivery will always have a unique element to the harmonies on that beat!” There is no stopping his passion once he gets started!

 

So, we are excited to hear more music and attended more performances to see how much he masters his artistry. But of course with covd-19 going on it is really hard to gauge what will happen. The goal is always longevity, and monetization which he and his team are in the process of doing now. His accomplishments have already begun to Wow audiences, so with World Breaker Fury being finished, now they are just waiting to pick a release date. He and BoogottiShice are working on a joint LP album but are in the earlier stages of production! And that’s something we all look forward to hearing!
