The Canadian songwriter, rapper, and hip-hop artist Mighty Rich returns with his hard-hitting and diverse debut 13-track mixtape entitled 'Mighty.' Born Nathaniel Service in Montreal, Canada, Mighty Rich fell in love with hip hop at the age of 11 after listening to 50 Cent's 'Get Rich or Die Trying.' From there, he was immersed in the culture of hip-hop and used freestyling as an outlet for his emotions. Rising from the ashes of his 5-year hiatus, Mighty Rich returns with his diverse mixtape, 'Mighty.' The mixtape kicks off with the introductory and title track, "Mighty," which drifts through our speakers with a phenomenal jazz/hip-hop beat courtesy of producer Charlie Hayz. Mighty Rich offers a unique Jay-Z/Immortal Technique-flow that leaves us hooked. The next track, "Explore," features the woodwind-heavy production by DJ Radiohead while showcasing a more explorative and adventurous side of Rich. Another sweet and ominous hip-hop beat drenches our speakers in emotion on "Spiritual Warfare" with producer Charlie Hayz. Mighty Rich brings a powerful message on this track that examines his life as a whole while living unapologetically. Moving onto "Hayzeus," we must mention how much we adore the jazzy and mysterious undertones of Charlie Hayz's production, as it perfectly enhances Mighty Rich's dominant and authoritative flow. On "Cloud 9 (feat. Chris Lee), DJ Radiohead swoons our ears with his smooth production while Mighty Rich offers his rhythmic and complex flow alongside Chris Lee's magnetic and electric vocal stylings. Slowing it down with "Hardships & Struggles," the song's production by Charlie Hayz is simply some of the best sonic arrangements we've heard this year. Not to mention Mighty Rich's deeply introspective and reflective flow; his delivery resembles staple acts like Earl Sweatshirt. Another Charlie Hayz production, "The Real Pt. 2," jumps through our speakers with nothing but eerie and intense vibes alongside Mighty Rich's poised and composed fact-spitting. Changing up the mixtape's vibe with "Lady Laura," this song features Lima Beats's whimsical, nostalgic, and drum-driven production. While Rich raps a passionate and desirous message, he reveals a more intimate and personal side of his music. Spicing up the intensity with "Hunt You Down," The Dollar Man's production is nothing but fierce and robust, perfectly enhancing Mighty Rich's composed, confident, and commanding performance. Tapping through our speakers is the drums by BOGER on the next track, "Heart & Soul," where Mighty Rich expands on the cruel world, his upbringing, and attempting to eliminate his inner rage. Onto a groovier note with "The Deceased (feat. King Mizery)," we hear a funkier side to Charlie Hayz's production while King Mizery tackles the first verse and demands our attention with his fast-paced and exciting bars. Rich jumps on the second verse and shifts the song into this old-school feel merely through his timeless delivery. Moving back into the piano-focussed beats with "Internal," we hear a more melodic and jazzy side to Lima Beat's production while Mighty Rich reveals his internal trials and tribulations. Landing on the last track of the mixtape with "The New Age," Charlie Hayz closes the song with his downtempo and bass-infused production that leaves Mighty Rich shining in the spotlight while rapping about his excitement for the future. Don't miss out on the overall dynamic and engaging experience of Mighty Rich's debut mixtape, 'Mighty,' now available on all digital streaming platforms. Congratulations on releasing such a raw, dynamic, and captivating mixtape with 'Mighty.' Did anything, in particular, inspire you to create this powerful mixtape? The main thing I had in mind when I started recording 'Mighty' was the Concept Or the idea of power. I wanted to record songs that symbolized or reflected the word Power. For example, the song explores displays that meaning in its purest form, the content of the music is a metaphor for power. In the first verse, I talk about my path to discovery with lines like, "Im in a jeep with suicide doors that's 4X4 reading the Art of War by Sun Tzu, studying Martial Arts & Kung Fu. So throughout the project, I just wanted to represent the symbol of power or having the ability to overcome any obstacles that come my way. What was it like working with the various producers for 'Mighty'? Did you want the mixtape's production to offer a specific vibe or atmosphere? It was dope working with the Producers. I worked with mainly Charlie Hayz, who produced a majority of the project. No, I wasn't going for any sound in particular for this mixtape; I just wanted it to be as pure and authentic as possible. When did you begin writing bars for 'Mighty'? How long did it take to write and create the mixtape? I started recording tracks for the mixtape in mid-2020, and it took me less than a year to complete the whole project. Do you have a favorite track off the mixtape, 'Mighty'? Could you explain why you're drawn to that particular track? Sonically, I think 'Heart & Soul' is the track that stands out the most on the mixtape. Still, my favorite song I would have to say is 'Spiritual Warfare,' just because of the lyrical content and the fact that I am relaying consciousness but at the same time still taking shots at all my enemies or naysayers. How does the mixtape 'Mighty' help us get to know you on a more personal level? If you listen to the entire project from start to finish, you will see that although I am conscious and positive, I'm still a rebel in some ways. I still have a rebellious side/nature to my persona and character. I am rebellious to Satan's Children (Evil People). I am rebellious to the corrupt government. I am rebellious to the backward society we live in today, and I'm rebellious to the lies and deceit that people of this day and age refuse to open their eyes to and realize that they are being misled. I've always been one to go against the grain and push for a Revolution.

For now, stream "Symphony of Broken Hearts" on all digital streaming platforms, and prepare your ears for a more personal and intimate experience with their upcoming project.

Coming in from Brampton, Canada, singer-songwriter, rapper, and versatile recording artist Christian Mariconda brings us through his emotional inner thoughts with a new single, "Nowadayze." Christian Mariconda is an artist who uses his scarred past to merge it with a narrative of the present moment. He seeks the answers of his true nature using technical and poetic rapping abilities. From childhood inspirations like Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Michael Jackson to more present influences like Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, Andre 3000, and J. Cole, Christian Mariconda's artistry truly isn't something to miss. Now releasing his dreamy and emotional single, "Nowadayze," listeners are able to introduce themselves to Christian Mariconda's versatile jazz, hip-hop, soul, and avant-garde sound. While rapping a reflective message that expands on his past, upbringing, and current journey, Christian Mariconda makes the experience all the more compelling through the song's soothing sonic landscape. Diving into "Nowadayze," the track opens with a soft piano melody and Mariconda's soft cries into the microphone. As he gets himself together, he playfully reminds us that he's too busy to expand on those emotions, where he jumps into his heated and conceptual rap. As the jazzy and soulful hip-hop beat begins to float through our speakers, Christian Mariconda dives into bars that expand on his troubled past. Mariconda's flow is truly like no other, as his clear and crisp articulation accompanied by talented and meaningful rhymes truly set him apart from other contemporary hip-hop acts. Not to mention the effectiveness of his dreamy and alluring sonic atmospheres, Christian Mariconda is genuinely an act to keep an eye on. Do yourself a favor and delve into Christian Mariconda's latest single, "Nowadayze," available on all digital streaming platforms. What a compelling and cathartic listening experience you've provided with your recent single, "Nowadayze." What inspired you to write this brutally honest and emotional track? The entire foundation of being a human is to express transparency to yourself and everyone you encounter. With that being said, this translates into my foundation as a storyteller, a rapper, and a musician. No one has your experiences in life, no two people go through the same journey as human beings, but ultimately we relate when sharing our truth. Our truth is universal through suffering, pain, trauma, and joy, love, and passion that is within us. I didn't write Nowadayze; God channeled through me to create and share this song. The title is a double entendre that combines the word Nowadays and Daze, which means that nowadays I am in a daze. Sometimes I'm unable to think with pure clarity, but this stems from something deeper I reveal throughout this song and the whole micro album itself. I'm going to leave it at that. Do you create your beats yourself? How did you make the production for "Nowadayze" to enhance your emotional lyrical theme? I didn't create this record on my own; actually, I worked with a producer from Boston, Massachusetts, who goes by the name of 1st Official. He is incredible, and with this song being a part of my micro album, the energy and the overall sonic palette fit the theme of the overall story that runs throughout the project. Mostly, it fits to merge with the narrative I rap and sing about to make Nowadayze the song that it manifested into. Did you face any personal challenges when writing your bars for "Nowadayze'? Do you always create such emotional and vulnerable bars? Two great questions here. I would say my only personal challenge here with writing Nowadayze was simply two words: The ego. At moments I felt like I was exposing my family dynamics when creating this song. Yet I always stepped back and resided in my awareness of why I even make this music in the first place, which is to heal myself and to bring a better understanding of who I am to the inner self; the consequence of this would be if the listener were able to take away the same from my music and apply it to their own life. As for the second question, if I'm not willing to be vulnerable when the song or album or present moment needs me to be, I am doing a disservice to myself and my fans. What main message did you want to get across with "Nowadayze"? What did you want your audience to take away from your bars? I wanted to get across the story I was telling; the overall message in Nowadayze is to know that isolation can be liberating if we only allow it to be taken there. Walking alone, eating alone, working alone, a matter of fact, just being in your own space by yourself isn't a bad thing by any means. To be in your energy is to come to discover who you truly are as a human being, and that's what I'm simply expressing with this song. My fans, the audience itself, can take away whatever they want from this song and my music. It's not up to me to tell them how they should feel about what I'm rapping about, music is subjective, and for me, the music I create is left up for the listener's interpretation. What's next for you? Friday, October 29th, my new single "Never Fold" is finally releasing (laughs). I've been sitting on this song since 2019, so for my team and me to get to this place of releasing this record, it's a great feeling, and I couldn't be more excited to share this with my fans. This is one of my favorite songs I've ever released. This may be one you'll want to turn the volume up on at the party you'll be at after or on October 29th (laughs). In November, I'll be releasing a special music video for Never Fold as well, so stay tuned for that. All of you at BuzzMusic are innovating and inspiring the culture; the Los Angeles music scene is in good hands with BuzzMusic; thank you for being true to yourselves. Instagram

The Brooklyn-hailing recording artist, rapper, and songwriter Lawd P highlights the atmospheric track, "r u n a w a y," off his latest 6-track EP, 'room essentials.' Lawd P prides himself on his lyrical authenticity that brings originally to an industry in need of raw, timeless, and fearless artists. Lawd P was molded by Brooklyn's pre-gentrified and tough streets, shaping him into a prolific and sonically aware songwriter, rapper, and composer. With influences like Jay-Z, Biggie, and Nas, it's no wonder why Lawd P creates incredibly dynamic and gripping pieces that top basic mainstream acts, especially his hit single, "r u n a w a y." The song is more than good; it's a sonic and lyrical mastery that takes listeners through Lawd P's constantly changing thoughts and emotions. The song's dreamy and hazy production allows P to shine bright in the spotlight. Listening to "r u n a w a y," the track opens with a punchy and downtempo drum arrangement alongside transcendent background pads that float in the distance. As Lawd P jumps into the first verse, he begins to expand on thinking of someone day and night and wanting to offer all the love and respect they deserve. There's something about Lawd P's charisma and swagger that reminds us of acts like Joey Bada$$ and A$AP Rocky. As he continues enlightening us on his limitless desire for someone special, the accompanying sonics lift our spirits into this passionate and sultry atmosphere. We love how Lawd P is able to jump into his bars with nothing but passion and energy while transitioning back into his poised and composed hook to emphasize the dynamic range of his heartfelt emotions. Feel your heart skip a beat with help from Lawd P's latest hit, "r u n a w a y," off his 6-track EP, 'room essentials.,' available on all digital streaming platforms. Congratulations on the release of your dynamic 6-track EP, 'room essentials.' What inspired this atmospheric and conceptual project? Thank you. I was inspired by my experiences during this shift in 2019 & 2020. I'm still in the process of understanding what love means to me. My past relationships helped me to practice vulnerability and honesty. So I decided to tell my story unapologetically and give people a perspective on my journey through love and intimacy. Regarding the track "r u n a w a y" off 'room essentials.,' what message or theme did you want to get across with your emotional lyrical content? Runaway is one of my favorites because I wanted to be open and provide that honesty. In this specific art piece, I had an experience where I had to tell a woman I was dating at the time, I did not want to be with her. Gave her all the transparency which included my mindset, my trauma, and my goals at the time. It was uncomfortable for both of us. But it helped both of us to grow in our process. How does "r u n a w a y" fit into the vibe and theme of 'room essentials.'? How does the track enhance the EP's overall concept? Runaway fits into the vibe and theme of Room Essentials because the song is relatable. Some of these experiences I speak about are common in our community but we don't express ourselves enough. I think self-reflection helps me to see my process so I can determine right from wrong which helps me to become the best version of myself. Would you say that the 'room essentials' EP is your most personal and vulnerable project to date? How does it stand out from your other releases? I could say so. I'm tackling a story that we all talk about on a consistent basis. LOVE! so it was only right to speak about my experiences. This EP stands out from my other body of work because the approach is different. Sonically, lyrically, and conceptually different. What's next for you? Maybe a Room Essentials part 2, Man I don't know. Whatever art piece makes me the best version of myself. I could fuck with that. Instagram

Nashville-based artist Nick Ryan has released his Alternative/Pop-Rock-inspired single, "I Will Not Be Silent." The singer/songwriter brings a traditional sense to this song, which he co-wrote with Jessica Fodor. The latest work of Nick Ryan included his debut album, titled "Lone Wolf," which was released over five years ago. Making a serious comeback, Nick Ryan is now ready to dominate the music scene with a vengeance, and he begins the quest with "I Will Not Be Silent." "I Will Not Be Silent" begins with acoustic-driven melodies that guide listeners into Nick Ryan's distinct vocal tone. Nick Ryan's vocal range is tested within this track, as his vibrant attitude brings forth a vigorous intensity from the artist. "I Will Not Be Silent" fixates on one singular theme: freedom. Nick Ryan proclaims his individuality and sense of space, singing that he'll take on any fight to keep his freedom intact. Nick Ryan's vocals stand out quite contrastingly to the melody featured in "I Will Not Be Silent." The direction he takes on here allows his voice to be heard with even higher enthusiasm and intensity. Nick Ryan doesn't waiver his force of mind for the song's duration, letting listeners know that his mentality will ultimately prevail. Listen to Nick Ryan's powerful, freedom-driven single on significant music platforms today. Hello and welcome, Nick Ryan! Congratulations on the release of your single, "I Will Not Be Silent." How does it feel to have this single released to the music world? It feels great! I'm proud of this song, and it's the message. It's essential to stand up for yourself. I want to inspire others and give people a voice. We need more music like that. How would you describe the collaboration on this particular song? Would you work with Jessica Fodor again for future songwriting? This was the second or third song we wrote together. I had about half the song finished, I believe, and I brought it to Jess to work on, from what I can recall. I will love to work with her again if she chooses to write again! It was an easy and fun collaboration. There was a clear and distinct theme featured in "I Will Not Be Silent." Can you elaborate on your intentions for this song and what you were hoping your listeners would think upon listening? Many people are manipulative in the music industry, and I was inspired by similar situations I was in and the situation with Kesha. The people at the top of the food chain act like they hold the artist's careers in their hands and can do what they please with them. Force them to be silent or else. I wanted to bring that to light and make listeners aware that it's more common than they think. Do you see yourself creating future music that hones into the same kind of perspective that "I Will Not Be Silent" held? I like to create music with meaning and a good message. I am hopefully writing from past experiences and not current events. Let's hope the state of the world improves! I hope so! What's next for you, Nick? I have my next single, the up-tempo version of "Murder Business," and my album "Nemesis" dropping the following week! It's a dream come true! I'm so excited to share this project with the world finally. Website

Lipstick Stains hails from Memphis, TN, steadily pulling influences from Punk, Pop Punk, and Alternative/Grunge, all while snarling out lyrics that deal with life, mental illness, addiction, and feminism. Having performed from St. Louis to New Orleans, Little Rock to Atlanta, and all cities in between, Lipstick Stains continues to release intoxicating energy that has fans gravitating towards them. Carrying a lively tempo in the rhythm that’s exuded, we get a protruding sense of inspiration that comes flowing in from the eras to grace us in the past years lived. The effervescent soundscape of “Seven Ten Split,” leads the Lipstick Stains’ newly released EP ‘Controlled Chaos,’ to an all-time high of amplification. Electric to the core, we just can’t shy away from the gritty nature that swells through chugging guitar riffs, and a vibrant hue of rhythm heard in the introduction of this record. The distortion that’s introduced within the smoldering lead vocals takes us into an undertow of underground buoyancy, as we hear the off-the-rails soundscape pose as an ode to wanting someone to stick by your side in this crazy little thing called life. With lyrical motifs that resonate with us in a major way, the untamed performance of words such as ‘please just stick around, ‘cause you’re the only thing I can’t lose,’ speak to us on a personal level. Through the immense personas that we welcome from Lipstick Stains, the authenticity that comes from the raw and unfiltered essence is truly refreshing in times as such. Leading us into the anticipation of what comes next on ‘Controlled Chaos,’ we think that Lipstick Stains did a killer job with reeling us in. The energy displayed in "Seven Ten Split" has us completely floored! We love how you tailor your sound to fit the uniqueness you hone in on so well. Could you please share a glimpse into what the creative process looked like when bringing this song to life? We were hanging out and jamming, and our bass player Eric out of the blue, whipped up the epic bass line that kicks off the song, and Ryan and Pekas joined in with a fiery passion. Ryan shredded out his piercing guitar line, and Jacob came in quick with his hard-hitting beat. It was as if they all just synchronously charged up their creative batteries to build the song's overall structure. It was the first song that we ever wrote that all came together simultaneously in the same room. What deeper meaning is laced into the lyrical motifs we're ready to memorize? I wrote these lyrics on 12/31/19. I sat there, reflecting on all of our shared loss and our overall success throughout our individual lives. I felt a bittersweet feeling, and I was hoping for that imagery to bleed into the lyrics. But I think that, in a way, this eerie familiarity gives listeners a stronger relatability to these motifs. It also just so happens that the lyrical content somewhat coincidentally embodies the year 2020 as a whole, despite it having been written right before the New Year. Could you please take us into how this single introductory ties into the rest of 'Controlled Chaos'? What does this project say about you? Controlled Chaos as a whole is a tug-of-war between grit and beauty, joy and sorrow, excitement and pain, contentedness and anger, strength and weakness, with a sprinkling of methodical disorder. The record takes a glimpse into what it's like to be a human, and we want listeners to know that we understand that simply existing isn't always an easy feat. Seven Ten Split envelopes these elements with its upbeat riffs and catchy chorus while also using the lyrics to project a sense of melancholy and nostalgia. This song tells the listener that they are about to go along for a ride, and we hope that this track encourages them to buckle up and join us. If your listeners want to support Lipstick Stains, what is the best way for them to do so? Social media likes/follows are always much appreciated, along with Spotify plays and follows. We are always immensely grateful for people who want to buy our music off of Bandcamp or physical form. Controlled Chaos is available on both CD and cassette. Above anything else, coming out to a show, buying merch, or checking out our online shop can help us get to the next phase of this musical journey.

We're playing a few more hometown shows in 2021, and 2022 is looking bright for us. We're excited to finally share these tunes on Controlled Chaos with more folks around the states. We plan on getting the wheels turning on playing out of town again, and we can't wait to meet more folks with a love for musical camaraderie.

From Chicago to Los Angeles, singer-songwriter and recording artist Drew Dolan releases a soulful and bluesy tune with his latest inspirational single, "Gonna Be Alright." After spending years on the road chasing his dreams, Dolan has now settled in a state of bliss with help from creating and playing music. After moving to Los Angeles, Drew Dolan honed in on his craft and developed a well-rounded sound with his soulful vocals, blues-inspired instrumentals, and thought-provoking lyricism.

As Drew Dolan's raspy and rough vocals make their appearance, he begins encouraging us to analyze the people we're surrounded with and ask if they're benefitting us in any way. We love the well-rounded and groovy hook, as Drew Dolan reminds us that if we continue to grow and evolve, everything will turn out just fine. This track sounds as if it's straight out of a New Orleans recording studio, as Drew Dolan has fueled the song with the utmost grit and soul. As the track closes, we're left feeling ready to take on the world. Get your dose of motivation with Drew Dolan's latest single, "Gonna Be Alright," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We love the heart and charisma you've brought to your recent single, "Gonna Be Alright." What inspired you to make this inspirational tune? Thanks for the kind words! I had this melody in my head for a while that I couldn't shake. When I sat down on the piano I immediately started singing the words "Everything, Everything is Gonna Be Alright..." I kinda knew at that moment the direction the song wanted to go, and I figured what better time to write a song with some real-life optimism. What was your songwriting process like for "Gonna Be Alright"? Was it easy to write lyrics that motivate and inspire listeners? Lyrics usually come pretty easy, but with this song, I had to play with the lyrical form a bit. The verses kind of dance from "negative" to "positive" situations in life, so making sure the balance always tilted to the positive was an interesting process. Did you team up with any musicians or producers to help navigate the tone and feel for the instrumentals in "Gonna Be Alright"? How did you achieve such a well-rounded and thorough sound? I went over to the studio with the song concept and my buddy Mitchell Haeuszer, of HAUS MUSIC PRODUCTION, sat down with the guitar and added some great ideas structure-wise that really brought depth to the sound. I always seek to capture the dynamics of a live performance with the quality of a modern recording and Mitchell was able to do just that. How do songs like "Gonna Be Alright" represent you? What impact do you want to make on your audience with songs like this? This song in particular represents me in that no matter what, I always tell myself everything is gonna be alright. We are built to persevere, we are made to last. The moral of the story is just keep going. The last few years have really pushed me to clearly envision what I want to do. My main joy in playing music is playing live music! My goals in the music industry world are the same as my goals in my life- I want to create and share live music experiences with and for as many people as possible. I truly believe that music has saved us before, and it will continue to do so. All music is Resonance- if a song connects us, it is really showing us that we are in this experience together in a way, and therefore not alone. What's next for you? I have another single dropping in about a month. It's a funky groover called "Cotton Candy," and is the last song on the forthcoming EP. I will be recording another 6-track EP this Fall which will be out in early 2022. Festivals and tours are on the horizon again, and I can't wait to get out there and share all these tunes.

PxRRY strives to smash boundaries within the music industry, and he begins by elevating the current genre his music contributes to R&B/Hip-Hop. The release of his 5-track EP garnered some quality attention, especially when looking at the EP's outro track, "Grown." PxRRY explored the depths of emotionalism within "Grown," and shared a vulnerable subset of thoughts and feelings to any willing listener. During his exclusive interview, PxRRY shared that he intended for "Grown" to be simplistic with its effect. PxRRY made the strategic choice to make the track the last one on his EP, as he wanted listeners to be fully prepared for what he has in store next. "Grown" inevitably prepares listeners for exactly what PxRRY has in store for the music world. With another single ready to be released, PxRRY is proving he's a force that can't be stopped and we're perfectly willing to let the artist build his career even further. Check out our recent interview with PxRRY, here. Instagram

Through the ability to defeat his fears and worries of what the outside world thought of him, Marc DiNero was able to flourish within his art. Listening to hip-hop artists such Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z, and DMX, assisted him in building his own foundation as an artist, however, the fear remained a constant obstacle for him. Finally releasing himself from the dungeon of negative thoughts, Marc DiNero made the life-changing decision to take the plunge and pursue his career in music. Submerging ourselves into the upbeat atmosphere that transmits signals of vibrancy in his latest single “Don’t Do That,” we get a taste for the charismatic persona that Marc DiNero owns as he flaunts his talent across the board. Equipped with a hunger in his bellowing vocal tone, this emcee holds our attention in a prominent way. Recruiting the skill set of WunTayk Timmy to assist him in driving the hard-hitting essence of “Don’t Do That” home, we admire the dynamic that these creatives share as they feed off of the high octane energy one another delivers, all while staying true to the manner in which they approach their artistry. “Don’t Do That” fuels us with the type of vitality that we need to keep it pushing in this life. Demonstrating that through it all, there will always be those whose actions breed negativity, Marc DiNero sticks to his fear ridding mentality and ushers these vibrations away. With heavyweight production courtesy of Nes, the balance that resides in the instrumentation and forward verses remains a match made in heaven. Embodying everything that you want in a certified Hip-hop hit, “Don’t Do That” is the record that will keep us charged up at the gym, in the car, and when with friends. Stream it today on your favorite streaming platform. We love the energy that you send soaring through this track! Could you please take us into what inspired the creation of this track? The story is a little funny. "Don't Do That" is actually something I say to my kid a lot. I actually say this phrase quite a bit when I talk to my homies as well. It came about when freestyling in my car over the instrumental with my baby girls in the back seat. I may have just said "Don't Do That" to one of them and then I just start saying it over the beat. I made the hook and the first half of the verse in less than 5 minutes freestyling in the car but I will have to say having my girls in the car with me may have influenced the topic of the record. What was it like working with Nes and WunTayk Timmy in order to bring this vision to life? It's really been a blessing working with NES. Although I know his credentials speak for themselves his production brings the best out of me as an artist. I don't really see myself disrupting this artist/producer relationship anytime soon. I and NES have made some of my best records and it's the fact that every time he sends me a pack, I can guarantee that I will make a hit out of at least two of them. One thing that I would love to do with NES, is sit down and discuss a concept and build a project from beginning to end. Creating a full story sonically. I believe that this will happen in the future given the right circumstances. As of right now, we have a really good thing going and I look forward to you all hearing more of the records we have made together in the near future. As far as working with WunTayk Timmy. In my personal opinion, WunTayk is one of the top lyricists in the Louisville area not including myself. I respect his wordplay and approach to music. This is the second song that we collaborated on in the last two years. I felt that this was a good record to continue and build on that combination and create a super collab from the Louisville area. I definitely think that we were able to accomplish what I set out to do. Put two contrasting styles together and create a bop type record with a catchy phrase and bring a lyrical approach to it. I don't think this will be the last record we work on together. I think the people enjoy the collaboration. What do you hope that “Don’t Do That” will allow listeners to reflect on? What realization did you come to after creating this track? After creating this record, I immediately felt that it could be a fun TIK TOK style record. "Don't Do That" is a heavily used phrase but I am still providing a message in the lyrics. Primarily speaking on the artist doing anything to get into the industry. I brought an aggressive energetic approach to my delivery speaking on some of the things I feel niggas shouldn't do. I spoke on my work and how I put in more work than most rap artists independently. Being in my position, I feel a mixture of love and hate. Hate comes from the ones I wouldn't expect. I have witnessed giving support to people who won't do the same in return. So, I made a statement by saying "I'm sick of you niggas approaching me, I'm not coaching you, you opposing me, you not close to me, you not over me." So, I hope that people can have fun listening to a catchy hook with dope production as well as hear me do what I feel I do best at and that provides a lyrical approach without making shit too complicated. How do you ensure to keep the fear away in your life? Any words of wisdom for those looking to do the same? The fear is more driven by potential failure at this point. I have invested a lot of time and resources into my musical journey and I want to find that level of success that I believe I deserve. The way that I keep that fear in check is by continuing to have faith in my path and purpose. I find myself getting into deep holes mentally sometimes where it can be difficult to get out of. I try to manage my expectations and keep a level head in regards to my music career but it is a working progress. The advice and wisdom that I would give are to always remember the "why" in everything that you do. You can get lost in the process due to the many faulty standards that are put in place by the industry. You create your own timeline and your path is for you and no one else. Understand why you are doing this and keep that in the forefront of your mind to always bring you back in line with what you initially wanted to accomplish. What's next for you? I have an album that is set to release before the year is up. I have been working on music consistently. The pandemic has really brought more of a creative focus for me. I have also gained an artist that I am actively invested in by the name of BRXTN. He is also set to release new music before the end is up as well. So we both are extremely busy game-planning releases and pushing each other to bring high-quality music. Instagram Facebook

Seatle-based Americana singer-songwriter and recording artist Sarah Brunner pairs up with singer-songwriter Tyler McGinnis for their rich and passionate new single, "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)." Sarah Brunner accumulated vast industry knowledge after playing roughly 1,000 live shows. The professional musician played many cover gigs, ranging from acts like Johnny Cash, The Weeknd, and Sheryl Crow. Her rare artistry and focus on rhythm guitar truly put her on the map as a unique and creative force to be reckoned with. After a five-year hiatus, Sarah Brunner is back and better than ever with the first single, "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)," off her forthcoming debut album. The song is a Brandi Carlile-esque tune that touches on the beauty of past relationships, getting older, and the "realization that the only thing that stays the same is that we change," said Brunner. Diving into the passionate and introspective single, "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)," we're met with a warm acoustic guitar melody that sets the song's heartfelt and passionate tone.

As she begins to depict scenes of growing beside someone and changing along the way, Tyler McGinnis joins the party with his sonically delicious stylings. We love the equal amounts of passion that both Brunner and McGinnis offer in this powerfully passionate single, especially as they make their way over to the hook and remind us of how we're constantly evolving.

Tyler McGinnis)," available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Sarah Brunner, and congratulations on breaking your hiatus with your recent heartfelt release, "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)." What inspired you to write a song about our ever-changing ways? Thank you! I wrote this song when I was all over the place, drinking a lot, madly in love while trying to plan a future with my partner at the time. We were inseparable and indecisive. Even though I initially wrote the song for her, I’ve been able to reflect on it and take the message with me that “the only thing that stays the same is that we change.” Why did you want "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)" to be a duet? What did Tyler McGinnis bring to the table that you were looking for? The song wasn’t initially written as a duet, but when Tyler and I sang it for the first time, it just clicked. He started singing this with me right after my breakup. It clicked right away, not just with his incredible vocals but the way he carries himself with such positivity and optimism. He helped me embrace the changes I was going through. What was your creative process like when navigating the instrumentals and atmosphere for "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)?" Aside from the vocal melodies, the rhythm guitar is the real driver in the song - my producer, Brittany Rogers, and I arranged the drums, bass, and violin around the guitar. We recorded smooth but strong vocals over a tightly arranged rhythm section. My goal was to make the song almost country, but not quite. Why did you choose to release "Caravan (feat. Tyler McGinnis)" as your first single after your five-year pause? How does this single represent your new and improved sound? I chose “Caravan” because it was one of the first songs I’d written that I held so closely to my heart. It was fitting to who I was when I wrote it and is fitting to who I am now. It represents my new sound in that I’ve never intentionally arranged a song as tightly as I have with “Caravan.” What should we expect from your forthcoming debut album? Does this album showcase your artistic growth since before your five-year hiatus? The songs on my album are stories about the people I’ve met in the last 4 years since I’ve been in Seattle, and how they’ve influenced my life. I’ve definitely grown artistically in that I’ve had a lot more experience in songwriting, and I’m sharing songs more vulnerably. I’ve written about falling in love, being played, drinking, depressive episodes, and accepting the present moment. It’s taken 5 years to live those moments, reflect, and write, and I feel ready to tell my story. Instagram Facebook
