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 27th 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!

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.

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 6th 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.

The Ambassador of R&B: Mr. Chenier

What are your thoughts on the music industry today? 
"I want to bring the love songs...Back to the radio!!!" 
I think that answers that question. SMILE!!


Background:

His name is Chenier Wilson. He goes by Mr. Chenier the Ambassador of R&B. He was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens but now resides in Raleigh, NC. He considers himself the Ambassador of R&B because he feels that he represents R&B to the fullest from music, to videos, to live performances. He represents the Grown & Sexy Sound!

He was about five years old when he first discovered that he had a gift for singing. In his very young years he us to watch a show that used to come on TV called the Ed Sullivan show. They were showing a Jackson 5 performance and from that point he started learning their songs and he thought he was Michael Jackson, he even sounded like him...till puberty hit.. LOL! He started singing seriously publicly in his high school choir, high school gospel choir, College choir, College gospel choir and also his home church choir.

He shares a story about his first stage performance recalling this event: "My first stage performance I had to be about ten years old. I was bragging about how I can do this, and do that on stage to my cousins, and when it was my turn to perform on stage at the talent show, I froze. Classic stage-fright!! So I did what most kids would do in that situation. I ran off the stage and into my mothers arms...Every now and then when I get with my family, my cousins always say..."Remember your first talent show?" 

He doesn't just sing, but he also reads and writes music too. He does it all. He learned in school the art of reading music and writing came natural for him because he used to want to be a rapper at one time when LL COOL J came out. We're from the same home Boro of Queens. So rhyming was somewhat easy.
