Pierre Fleming: A Hidden R & B Legend

 

Vibe Highlights

“I feel like R&B is making its comeback I’m just waiting on the big re-entry so to speak.”

He had one feature on the EP which was whine one time ft Alex flow

 Best advice someone ever gave him:

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

You may not have known but NC has many amazing talents and this singer/ songwriter and or Artist: Pierre Fleming, who was born and raised in Wilson NC is one of the hidden Legends. He is highly devoted to music, and he shares a passion for video production & photography.

 

His current single is called SHOW ME which was released in 2021 along with his EP entitled Seven Vibes. The inspiration that motivated him to create the pair was based on past experiences. He witnessed relatable perspectives through the eyes of others and wanted to vibe along with topics that would captivate his audience.  

He always had the ability to sing yet at the age of 18 he started writing his own songs because he didn’t know of any dedicated songwriters. In the beginning of his career, he started with many local indie concerts. He even won a first-place award in a local competition in 2014. He stayed inspired by all the prominent singers of that time; MJ, R Kelly, Usher, Tyrese, Joe just to name a few and each Artist had a different element that he liked, which shows in his music today.

We listen to Artist collaborations every day. The Artists go on tour, end up on billboards, and magazines together. So Wait! Wait! before you continue reading go check out one of Pierre Flemings' songs then close your eyes just for a minuet and imagine reading a flyer with the names: Pierre Fleming and H.E.R ( 5 time grammy winner) on the cover. The harmonies are undeniable and with such a smooth connected sound and relatable lyrics from both parties there is no other choice but to sit back and listen.

An Artist collaboration is just one door. There are many unique opportunities for him to be successful. We will hear more songs, see more music videos and live performances. He also wants to eventually start his own label and sign his own artists. You never know you could be the next big thing to blow up on his label, so keep your ear to the streets!

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.

 

JohnnyMac Jr: Making Bangers! Are You "Next Up"

Favorite Songs He Wrote: 

Follow your dreams or Divine

...is from Asbury, Park New Jersey!  At the age of 13 he started making music with his buddy for fun but boy oh boy was he terrible. Then as he matured  over the years he started to use music as a way to vent and help him out with stress.

He grew up always listening to hip-hop, and rap. He also loves jazz music and specific old school hip hop Artists such as: Eric b and Rakim, Mobb deep and many other talented Artists in those genres. 

Now, re all know kids can be harsh so when he started rapping in High School a lot of his peers would make fun of him and comment on his material telling him he "sucks." But, one day he just learned at the end of the day none of that matters if something makes you happy and you enjoy it; do you. 

When he was in his young 20's he dreamed of becoming famous and all that cool stuff but now he just does it for a hobby and of course because he enjoys making music.

When he originally started making music it was as a joke and he and his buddy would add in funny freestyles. But then around 2010 he linked up with a few kids on Facebook and he realized his style was something Legends are made out of: dope!

He taught himself how to record. The passion he feels fuels him with enthusiasm about the whole process: from listening to beats and just vibin' to tell a story. He loves every moment.

He now considers himself to be more of a lyricist. He tries to tell his stories in his songs and get them to connect with the audience. “We are all human so I know people go through some stuff” he shares and that’s something he believes that his listeners will connect with him on. 

His most current album released is called “Next Up” feat JF3RG. It’s on all major online stores just search JohnnyMac JR. He shares that nothing really inspired to he and Jf3RG to create it they just continued to mix and create new ideas by doing features and all of them were hits so they said let’s make it an album and of course every song was a banger !!!!

 The success he received motivated him to write more music and with that journey came back to back collaborations with fire Artists such as:  

Sammy Adams 

JFerg Astylez 

SnapBack 

TCTKO 

Capone Ace Montana  

Ice Kane 

Soulja Boy 

BLVZ 

Riff raff 

He and his crew had a whole movement they would do a shit ton of features with each other  and they had some heavy hitters at the time such as: LiL B, Riff Raff, and Soulja Boy on their movement. He flew out to Cali to meet up with all them and they created music and shot a few music videos. So, after that whole era they felt confident, and they were surprised that people were rocking so from there he started to take music more seriously. He wanted to explore the Music scene more so he kinda went down his own path trying to find his flow. He started telling stories of different aspects of relationships and just the shit people can connect to and his fans and followers grew seemingly overnight. 

 

So far he has performed 4 times, did a few videos on YouTube and as he stated previously he sees this as a hobby. He does this music for the fun. So, what's considered fun? The first time he ever performed! It was at Asburt Lanes in Asbury Park, New Jersey. There were about 725 people and the place was packed!  He performed his song: Follow Your Dreams and the feeling he describes as just amazing!

IF you are an Artist admiration for another Artists' work can be inspiring. Now, his all time #1 person he would love to work with is: Mac Miller (RIP). Why? because his vibe was just so perfect, very chill and he knew how to share a great story. But if he could work with an Artist as of right now it be Travis Scott, just because his energy is so LIT! 

 We want to stay in the mix with everything going on, he is currently working on his next singles and doing features. He will continue to drop music every so often and naturally he plans on dropping another album. There is no set date yet but maybe in the next 3 months. So! Be on the look out!

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.

Thunder for Lyrics: Arkansas Bo

 Arkansas Bo

"I speak the truth and the truth is not always pretty. People will tell you how you need to change and follow the crowd, as for Arkansas Bo, I stand out because I am Arkansas Bo, the lyricist."

Thunder for Lyrics...

Born Marlon Jennings Jr. IS an American Hip Hop Artist from Stuttgart, Arkansas (Sugatown). He began his Hip Hop career at the age of thirteen. He became inspired by the likes of legendary rappers such as Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, UGK, Outkast, and many more. Bo became a lyrical monster in his lyrical writing style. His track, Arkansas Sound, commanded the attention of Scarface of the Geto Boys and owner of the label FACEMOB MUSIC.  Arkansas Bo's baritone voice brings thunder to his brutally honest lyrics that always carry a conscious message. 

BO, has always written his own material. He collaborated with quite a few people, a couple are 607 and Mousequake. Together they are always dope. People don't know that he has always been the type to express himself in the arts. He majored in art and sculpturing in college. He also writes poetry and he began transforming his art of poetry into the art of Hip Hop music. He was inspired by the likes of legendary rappers such as Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, UGK, Outkast, and He has opened for many Hip Hop legends including:Paul Wall, Lil Boosie, Bunn B, Big Krit, Fat Joe, Tela, Devin the Dude, Scarface, Webbie, 8 Ball & MJG, and more. He also did major collaborations with Devin the Dude (Rap-A-Lot), Mr. Serve-On (No Limit), and featured on Multi-Platinum Producer, Keith Clizark's Still Burnin 2 mixtape. He makes it a point with other Arkansas Artists such as; D-Dirt, Touda, and a special collaboration with E Dubb on the conscious project: Black Lives Don't Matter.

His favorite song he has written: is Black Lives Don’t Matter. He loves it because it’s true. He wanted to help bring awareness to police brutality as well as lift his community up. So, he and some other artists from Arkansas got together to bring out the message. Bo continues to amazes us with his latest album. He was inspired to create one of his most well-known songs Ubiquitous because he feels "the state of HIP HOP is slipping. He grew up on Hip Hop so he was taught to be proud of the culture. The women taught young girls that "black girls do rock" and now he feels like hip hop is lost on the current generation. 

See Into the Future

Currently Bo is working on his next project. He has a show in Dallas, TX in June of this year. He will be performing live at Club RBC Deep Ellum.  While he is performing all over the United States he also had time to write his next album :Tide (Tired) of this Shit, and he's getting ready to go into the studio to record. He and his team continue to promote his current singles, Man of the Year, Man Say, Livin’ A Lie, Ubiquitous, and Thick Wit It (ft Devin the Dude).

Google Byrd Daddy Cool Breeze

Byrd Daddy Cool Breeze from: 

Byrdworld, SC. 

He considers himself to have elements of an MC and Lyricist but if he had to say which one he fit best he'd say he's an MC. His current album is called Byrdshyt. You should check it out! 

Before, he took a five year hiatus from making music he was in a creative space. He wanted to make a really personal project that spoke to how he felt about certain situations going on in his own life. Since he started back making music that was the first time he has been back in that creative space. He writes his own music and has collaborated with members such as T Birdz as well as XII V and Swagg Dinero. They lent their songs to him to be featured on this project. 

Best Advice Given

"Whether you think you can do it or you think you can't do it... You're right..."  

His inspiration for his creativity came from Artists he heard growing up. This would be mainly cash money, No Limit and Busta Rhymes. His favorite song off of his current album Bird Shyt is called: Aamiraloyal. He says it's basically him talking to his kids and trying to explain to them his life experiences in their early lives. He likes how he delivered that song. It sounds infectious!

If he could perform with any popular Artist in the industry today it would be with an Artists known as: ASAP Ferg. He says that he likes to go off the top freestyle and so does he, so they might be able to have a live session on stage. He thinks that would be dope. 

He stands out from other Artists because he says he can't be boxed into one style. You never know how a song, verse or project by him will sound. He says so many artists become predictable after you've heard a few verses. But he's different in that he keeps it fresh. 

UPDATES and CURRENT PROJECTS

Right now he's pushing his current album Byrd Shyt and conceptualizing his next project which has yet to be named.

The Brooklyn Music Sound

 

His name is Shamel "Jean " Lyric. He's from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. He's been doing Music for four years now. At the Ages between 9-10 he wrote his very first song (A song he still has yet to record lol) but he didn't start taking his music seriously until six years later.

His top five DOA Artists (Nas, Q-Tip, Mos Def, Method Man Drake) are the people that motivated and inspired him to become the Lyricist he is today. Through listening to their creative flow it help him to understand and fall in love with Real Hip Hop. Also, two of his neighborhood brothers Michael "Deejay Traxx " Bonny and Traemayne "T.R.B "Brown encouraged him too. They saw something in him that he didn't see four years ago and from there he was inspired.

Henry Finch- From Rock to Pop

His name is Henry Finch and he is from Los Angeles, CA. He has been singing for about 6 years but has been performing for about twelve years off and on. He used to mainly be a guitarist. He performed that way as a teenager, until he evolved...

Multi-talented Creez & IAM HERO TOUR

They call him HERO. He is a man of many hats. An Entrepreneur, Entertainer, and soon to be Humanitarian from the big city of Long Beach, CA. He considers himself as both an Artist and Lyricist. As an Artist some days he might want to make a lyrical song, then other days he might make a song that is about his flow or his way with words. 

The Kryptonite Ep is the name of his current project soon to be released. The concept of the project is about all the things in his life that could be a Kryptonite to him like Love, Family, Friends, the neighborhood he grew up in. The process of creating this project was fun. He has features like Reality Jones, Taio Cruz, Ryan Anthony, Kevin Writer and Producers like Rick Roc, Drumma Boy, King Dave, and Reo who helped with the EP process.

The Best Advice He has received came from Quincy Jones, in a meeting. He was told: "To Have a Detailed Vision, Don't Just Tell GOD 'I just want to be happy, you got to know what happiness is to you!" Those words as well as growing up in Long Beach inspired him to make his current music. 

During his childhood he remembers seeing Nate Dogg as a kid in his Auntie Kims' living room with the bandanna on just like the in videos. So, people like Snoop Dogg and Warren G are like family to him. He was the little kid right there watching them shoot videos!

He shares that out of all the songs he wrote, he says his favorite is the song he did with Kehlani called: Flight 420. Its crazy and it just feels like he's on a plane ride! Since he started music he would say he has done over 200 shows, maybe more! The most epic time he ever had on stage was when he was on the Independent Grind Tour with his band and Tech N9ne came out on their set with a pitcher of his signature drink KC TEA and everybody went crazy!!

If he could do a song with anybody, he would choose Kendrick Lamar because he likes to touch on the type of topics he likes to rap about and he is also a very conscience person. He relates that what makes him different as an Artist is the thrill of everything that a new rapper wants to do like get a chain or buy his momma a car. He was able to do that at a early age. So his integrity and movement are different. 

The future is extremely bright for this talented Artist, He his currently working on a new music project and a new clothing brand soon to launch on www.IamHeroTour.com. Along with creating more music he is looking to lock in more sponsors for his IAM HERO TOUR company. He also wants to add some more skateboard competitions in Long Beach, Compton, Venice, Hollywood (ect) for the summer of 2017.
