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!

The Inspiration. The Hope: Mr. Everything

The idea and hope behind “Inspiration” is definitely needed during these difficult and trying times; so where would one look for that inspiration? (You may be wondering silently… )Well, I know a Man and his name is Roosevelt Conyers but his ring name is "Mr. Everything" Victor Andrews.

As a child, before he found wrestling he dabbled in track for awhile but once he became more disciplined and focused he discovered his true passion for and within professional wrestling. Wrestling? Yes! You read that correctly: 

W-R-E-S-T-L-I-N-G 

His eyes as a child grew wide eyed and full of wonder as his biggest inspiration and motivation: The Undertaker

stomped onto the scene with full confidence ready to twist and turn the arms and legs of his his next opponent(s). The noise! The cheers from the audience and fans aligned with the hard dark atmosphere of his character made for one bad ass moment that will never leave the hearts of true wrestling fans!  

Mr. Everything has always admired The Undertaker and still does to this day. He admires the way he performs and his whole presence throughout his 30 year career has impressed him a great deal!

 

Mr. Everything still remains a humble guy even though he is knows he is the best of the best. So he chuckles when asked how many matches has he had so far but then replies: “I gotta throw a ball park figure of close to 2,000 matches in my 11 year career all over the US.” He goes on to shared that just about every match is memorable in their own way but at the very top of his list would have to be the tag match he had on WWE NXT against Heavy Machinery.

In order to be as successful as he is in the wrestling world he has to have some support and that support comes from his family. His mother, naturally loves and encourages his passion for wrestling! She tells him all the time to keep pushing forward and never let anyone stop him from getting where he wants to be (And all your fans, followers... agree! Keep going you got this!)

 

Now, when you have a desire to accomplish a goal, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. The two things he didn’t know before he started taking wrestling seriously was #1: the amount of time it would take him away from his family. #2: the long hours on the road and constant traveling it takes to be successful. Those two things alone keep him away from home a lot. As an added bonus he also wasn't aware he’d love wrestling as much as he does nor did know he would be given the opportunities he’s received from it so far. 

HE is not only a wrestler but he is also an exceptional Father. 

So, as a wrestler he as to be coachable, open to suggestions and criticism. Yet, as a father he has to be available, flexible, open to change, as well as being able to teach his son and learn as he goes. 

So, I'm getting some pretty awesome vibes and I'm totally feeling like he has a bright and promising future, what about you? Oh by the way his major goal and ultimate plan is to utilize his connections to get a tryout with a major company so he can get signed! 

He is determined to make it happen this year! Of course, right now due to Covid restrictions keeping wrestling events very limited he’s been working on some acting and modeling projects too. 

He’s also got a couple of writing projects and a TV series he’s working on that's due to be shown soon that will be done and released by the summer which is all very exciting and we can’t wait to see what he brings us next!

 

I know you want more! So don't hesitate! So show some love on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. You never know he just might respond with a "Thank you." Oh, and don't forget to catch my vibe!

Thor Angelico: "Always Do My Best to Stay Humble"

Best Advice 

"Always do my best to stay humble"

Thor Angelico is currently living in Nevada but was born in Rochester, NY. He's been writing poetry for 21 years and considers himself to be more of a Lyricist. 

https://soundcloud.com/thorangelic

He’s always had a passion for music! He grew up listening to all kinds of rock and heavy metal. His love for music grew from first hearing: Linkin Park. At the time He didn't really know what rap was until then and hearing them opened a whole new world for him!

In sharing his creativity he wanted to make music that had a bigger message collectively than just individual songs, so when you go through and listen to the whole album: Stepping Stones, it will tell a vivid story. He writes all his own music and he’s had some features he’s done for people, as well as he’s had other artists on his songs too.

Although he likes all of his songs, his most favorite single he created is called: Through the Forest because it captivates and tells a VIVID story full of twists about a metaphoric Spiritual Journey that is going on in his mind. 

He’s only done a handful of small shows up to this point. Yet, his most memorable stage performance was opening up for Statik G and Haystak last year. He will always remember that opportunity because it motivated and propelled him into a whole new excitement for music. He is more than happy to get booked for more live shows and performances. But he really wants to make a living off of his streams. That's his main focus!

There is always at least a handful of main stream well known Celebrities that inspire other Artists to create and the Artist that motivates Thor Angelico to create his music is the: Rap Artist and Lyricist: NF. https://www.nfrealmusic.com He has listened to his music more than anyone lately. He likes the fact that NF has a very similar message to his and is a voice for those who are voiceless. 

He believes that's why his music is so popular.

The ability to stand out from other Artists is very important. The life that he’s lived could be no one else's and he’s overcome a lot of mental health problems without being on medications. So there is room for him to speak on his experiences and how possible it is to beat these things as depression and anxiety etc. He’s not perfect but his progress speaks for itself. Yet, still he wouldn't want to tell us where he was 5 years ago compared to now.

There is so much more greatness for this Artist. He’s focusing mainly on continuing to build his fan base. He believes that the future holds endless possibilities. Many people tell him how unique and inspiring his messages are and he feels like he’s starting to make an actual impact. Music is his life, he’ll never stop.

R.O. Hutch: The Show EP Out now!

Best Advice 

Stay true to yourself and leave it all on the mic. 

Many Artists start off with a vigor and power but they have to work at it, yet the music has always been second nature to R.O. Hutch! Raleigh stand up! Make some noise for one of our own Hutch aka: R.O Hutch! (Put some respect on that name!) His ability to speak on complex topics and lessons makes his music more relatable to the common person!  The rap, poetry, songs, and writing music is a way calm the chaos in the life lessons he learns and provides opportunity for him to connect with larger audiences! 

He considers himself to be a unique blend of both MC and Lyricist. He takes pride in his ability to control a crowd as an Emcee, but he knows without a doubt he’s definitely a lyricist too. The name of his current album is called: The Show EP. He was inspired to create this album because of the need to SHOW why he feels he’s the top of the brass in terms of his talent and ability as an artist. 

He writes all his own music but he’s not against brainstorming ideas with other Creatives or having choruses done by other artists. Oh yeah! like that one time he worked with one other Artist on this EP, her name is Egypt. She actually did some writing on a record called: (On & On). Check it out! It's fire!

His passion for writing songs came with making music the need to express himself. He was inspired by both his father and his older cousin: Black Jeruz. Now, he’s performed at many different venues where some crowds were larger than others but he most remembers performing for a large crowd that actually were fans of music, so his music although new, was received with warm regards and acceptance. 

If he could perform with any Artist he would perform with Charlotte NC’s own DaBaby. He admires the energy he brings to all his stage shows. He believes that he could learn a lot from a Creative Mind and Brilliant entertainer and Rap Artist act such as DaBaby.

There is so much to learn about this Artist! This was only a teaser to all the excellence he brings to the table. So, one EP is not enough. He is releasing more music! His plan is to release an EP every 3-4 months and also release visuals to all songs on these projects.

NCC Records: Promotes Indy Artists

 

James “Mistajay” Genwright II majored in Business administration. But he wasn’t sure which direction to take his degree in but somehow his heart was strongly interested in: the Music.  

In the creation of making dreams come true, he and his team went through several different incarnations and mangers to gain control over their direction in music as a group. So his Inspiration to start NCC Records: North Carolina Commissioned Records was born from that desire but that was just the beginning. Okay so, what is NCC Records? It is a record and entertainment label that provides music services, writing features, sponsorship, promotion and distribution. The company is really aimed at promoting the success of their communities by sponsoring Indy Artists in music and film projects.

 

As the CEO of a very successful and ever growing company the ability to lead in certain situations is a major key component. It requires you to be a good listener willing to learn as well as intelligently delegate and remain inquisitive while staying on top of the newest trends in the industry. As we know life wouldn’t be as exciting without a couple challenges. But they are met with diligence and professionalism. There are times when decisions have to be made quickly, from deciding whether to keep with the newest sound or go in a different direction to finding who to work and network with that will be just as passionate about getting to the next level as you.

There are a variety of ways to create success and one of the things that this CEO would like to see more of is content on the company website that reflects a diverse range of entertainment endeavors. Which he hopes will lead to eventually working with heavy hitters like the multi-faceted Ice Cube and Kathy Hughes who started in radio with music and turned her vision into an entertainment empire.

FUN FACT: Participated in the Indie Film game with a couple small acting roles!

Empire Musiq: Underground Independent Hip Hop

Founder, Owner, CEO and Artist: JAE Black

 JAE Black is from Asheboro, NC. He reigns as the Founder, Owner and CEO and Artist on his independent Label “Illcapone Records LLC.”

Popular Artist mostly likely to perform with if he could: Drake.

Best Advice Given

From his friend of 15 years Emery. They were hanging out a JAE's house back during the high school days making a beat and structuring a song for their rap group at the time which was called “yung gin.” Emery looks at him and says “yo dog out of everybody i know in my life and out if everybody in the group you got it! you’re going to make it! never stop this music thing till GOD allows you to go no further”  He's had people tell him that since that day but there was something about that moment that made him believe it!

Being able to be diverse in the game is critical that's why Jae Black believes that he is both an MC and Lyricst. Why? He makes great music as an Artist and from a technicians’ stand point he paints pictures out of real life that people can relate to.

New Album: “The Penalty of Leadership”

Drops on JUNE 9th 2019! On all music platforms

To create this album he was inspired by things that he went through between now and in the last few months. He experienced a wave of hate, betrayal, jealousy, greed, and even the doubt from loved ones because they couldn’t understand his goals. The Penalty of Leadership is for those individuals who do things out the norm which scare people into only following.  It doesn’t bother him to step out of the norm and he doesn’t think it should bother anyone either; be great no matter who’s against it! The reason for the release date is due to his great grandmothers’ birthday. Her passing has given him a focus and drive like he’s never had before.

Where it all started...

His mom dated this guy named: Al Luck for 4 years and when JAE BLACK was in 5th grade Al Luck and his son moved in with Jae and his mom. Marquese and Jae became like brothers and are still like brothers till this day! They looped music from the wrestling video game they got for N64 and recorded it off a tape recorder.  He had the tape recorder from the Home Alone movie and they would play the beat back off a radio while they rapped over it lol 

Then they got to a point where they took two plastic sticks from toy golf clubs, a couple empty soda bottles and other objects to create beats. Marquese would do the drums and JAE was the MC! It's funny for Jae Black to think about now but that's where his love for music began. 

JAE Black has written his own music since he was 10 years and has yet to collaborate with anyone but in the future it could be a possibility. YET, as he ventures through new levels with his music he finds that he enjoys the creativity behind each of his songs more and more. He doesn't have a favorite song but the song that he is most proud of would be: Trust Issues” which is off his upcoming album. He's proud of that song because he took a risk and tried something new. So, listen to it and you will know why lol

His most memorable performance was when he performed a track in downtown Greensboro in 2015.  A guy in the music industry visiting NC got handed his music and liked what he heard. He invited Jae to NY to perform at a music festival called “The Gathering." It was his first and only experience. In his first song he fumbled and messed up the lyrics so bad that he just went straight to the next song and from that day forward he always told himself to be prepared. But shortly after that he took a 3 year break because of life. Yet, now his focus and drive he has now is much different! 

NEXT STEPS. FOR THE FUTURE

“The Penalty Of Leadership” dropped on JUNE 9th! He is  currently creating dope music videos from the album and then it's get back to the studio to work on another project. He has tracks for another project that he is working on but right now he's focused on promoting “The Penalty Of Leadership” and putting more momentum behind the project.
