Get ready to press repeat, and add King Soloman to your amped playlists. Welcome to BuzzMusic, King Soloman, and congratulations on the release of “Wish For This.” We love the concept you weave into your lyrics. What does this song mean to you as the creator? Thank you. There’s a lot of meaning behind the song but I would say this song means a lot to me in terms of my progression, that I’m growing as an artist and I have results to show for it. What musical and non-musical influences do you take into your music with you? How do they help you craft your sound? Jay-Z, Dave Chappelle, Mac Miller, J cole, Lil Wayne, Salt Bae, Steph Curry, New York City, Wynwood, Sonic The Hedgehog, Christian Bale, Denzel Washington, Joey Badass, and the list goes on and on. They all help in different ways it’s hard for me to go into detail about each one but I can say that for instance, I grew up watching Dave Chappell nonstop, I still do. His comedy was just on another level and I would use his jokes and delivery in order to help me with my punchlines while I’m rapping or freestyling. Every now and then I use a Chappelle show reference and my energy is always on point whenever I include it in a track. Also, Jay-Z is a big role model in terms of the dedication & motivation to be a successful writer and lyricist. I watch videos nonstop of him breaking down his approach to music, how he focuses on poetry and is able to make all these hit records without ever using a pen and paper. He’s just a legend, and his songs really impact me like the heart of the city. Whenever I’m listening to music and a song from hov comes on I never skip it. Always something to learn from his lyrics. What message are you hoping to send out to your audience through “Wish For This?" That’s there’s always a struggle behind success. Keep on wishing for what you want, and with hardworking & persistence, you will always succeed and strive. You shot a neon-inspired music video for "Wish For this." What can you tell listeners about the experience on set and what to expect from the visuals? It was a one-of-a-kind experience to be in that environment where your just vibing in every room of the studio, the lights are going crazy, you look in the mirror and you enter another world. The B room made me feel like I was living in the clouds. For this video, similar to “Hands of Time” I teamed up with The Lucrative Youth to film the music video and we used their studio to record the song as well. My Engineer and certified hitmaker Renzo Gonzales helped mix the track and made a cameo in the video. The energy was flowing and it turned out crazy. At the release party, I had all the guests wear 3D glasses and it changed the whole video, so if you ever get the opportunity to watch it like that. When you see the video you will understand the whole point of the song. What's next for you? We have a lot in store for everybody. More shows, more videos, new freestyles & new collabs. I have a new track dropping on June 4th called Take Out The Trash which is going to put the streets on smash in Miami. My good friend 40 is featured on it. He & I go way back with it, we used to bust out freestyle all the time in my corolla when I lived in Brooklyn before I moved down to Miami and he moved to La. With the help of God, we were able to reunite and start making some top-class music. The song is really about, getting rid of negative individuals from your life, hence take out the trash. Everyone goes through it, people come and go. You want to switch up the vibes and surround yourself with positive energy that’s beneficial to your goals and purpose. Another thing I got coming up is my weekly Friday freestyle. I’m bringing them back and dropping a freestyle every Friday on Instagram. You can check it out on my page @kingsoloman_ . If you feeling the vibes, be sure to share it with your friends and get hype because we not stopping anytime soon. Instagram Facebook

Hailing from London, UK, the genre-bending rule-breaking trio RudeGRL & CC are set to release their explosive forthcoming sophomore EP, 'Killer 16,' on April 23 via Firefly. Comprised of MC Jenna Dickens, burlesque star Bunni Morretto, and rocker Chris Constantinou, the multi-hyphenate queer group formed with the sole desire to create a place for those who don't fit into society's norms. When listening to the likes of RudeGRL & CC, one should expect rapid-fire rap, fuzz bass, industrial beats, twangy guitars, and atmospheric post-punk that celebrates grime and the 80s. Expanding on their sophomore 5-track EP, 'Killer 16,' the project is said to amplify the group's unique punk-hop sound, primarily within the title track that touches on the release of trauma and anger instead of feeling destructed by it. The EP's third track, "What is Love," is said to tread the grounds of pop while also grasping an 80s feel, which initially brought Dickens and Constantinou together in the first place. Throughout the project, all instrumentals are played and performed by Constantinou, who also collaborated with co-producer Nicholas De Carlo. When elaborating on RudeGRL & CC's creative process, Constantinou mentioned, "I think the thing that really makes it work is that we don't spend too long on anything, so it's just a stream-of-consciousness of everything that I've learned and everything that's very natural to Jenna, who's very quick at stuff." As RudeGRL & CC continue to tweak their forthcoming EP, 'Killer 16,' prepare your ears for the band's debut album later this year, which is said to be an attention-grabbing culture crash consisting of grime-filled bangers. For the time being, check out RudeGRL & CC's debut EP, 'Like Wow,' on all streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, RudeGRL & CC. We're more than excited to dive into your forthcoming sophomore EP, 'Killer 16.' What inspired the project's title? Is there a particular theme or concept within this EP? Rude GRL: YAAAS thanks for having us! The Killer 16 EP is a bit of a journey of recovery. Like WOW is really like a fight song it’s saying I am who I am & I came here to slay & I won’t let anything get in my way of doing that. It’s a fight song taking back ownership of your life, reclaiming what’s yours & being unapologetic about it. Our lead track Killer 16 is about letting out all of the pent-up aggression, it’s no holding back & letting out the dark side. What Is Love is more about finding some compassion & processing the grief around trauma. Catfish feels more about having fun! To me, recovery doesn’t have to be all serious all the time & I think to really recover we have to reclaim our life & actually have fun & find some joy in this mad world. CC: Hi BuzzMusic! Jenna and I met back when I was signed to Sony-AT. My band was The Wolfmen at the time and we were co-writing with a lot of people including FKA TWIGS (before she became famous), Sinead O’Connor, Lou Reed, etc and they introduced me to Jenna. We clicked and wrote a load of material, but then Jenna disappeared for a while. Years later I was awake thinking back to this amazing 3 piece band I saw live at a pub in Finsbury Park, with a female singer, bass player, and drummer. They all had these massive afro’s and were playing a mixture of dance music and rock live with no backing tracks. The place was packed! The energy and vibe in that room I couldn’t forget, so I thought maybe I could get something similar together with Jenna. I texted her in the early hours of the morning one day and she was into the idea! So we met up and decided to write and record 12 songs in 12 hours - which became our upcoming album! During the process, Jenna Brought her partner down Bunni, who is an award-winning Burlesque Dancer, and so I was thinking back to seeing live performance artists with bands, like Stacia with Hawkwind, Bez in Happy Mondays, etc and asked if she would be up for joining us on stage for live stuff - so that’s how it started! How does 'Killer 16' contrast and differ from your debut EP, 'Like Wow?' What do you bring to the table this time around? Rude GRL: The Like WOW EP was a teaser for what’s in store. We hit some hard topics like racial abuse, sexual abuse & addiction but I tried to write it in an empowering way. Killer 16 is totally unapologetic & in your face, take it or leave it & really uncensored. When we came to recording What Is Love I actually had to take a moment to breathe! It felt like I really went deep & let out some stuff that I hadn’t found a way to let out like that before. Catfish is bringing all the twerks, all the punk & all the strippers haha I can’t wait to play this stuff live!! We got some punk rap twerk stripping madness in store. Bunni Morretto: I'll be bringing all the Twerks, all the burlesque Striptease, all the black girl magic so I hope people are ready to get naked and twerk too ;) haha! What do you want your audience to feel after listening to your EP 'Killer 16?' What sort of vibe or atmosphere does the project deliver? Rude GRL: I really would love people to feel empowered & also free to be exactly who they are, no holding back. I hope that it will help some people to relate & feel less alone. But I also hope it gives us all a space to escape from the stress & pain in life & find the joy & fun & excitement. Bunni Morretto: I want people to feel empowered!!!! Embrace their jiggly bits! Strip off their clothes and twerk. Feel free and live their BEST LIVES!!! We've heard that you're also planning to release your debut album later this year. Could you drop any hints as to what listeners should anticipate from your full-length album? Rude GRL: It’s going to be LIT! Anticipate the most in your face, punk rap, unapologetic, no holding back, an uncensored, genre-bending, mind-bending album of the year & then you MIGHT just be ready for it haha. Hold your wigs on tight bitches! Lol CC: Yes in September along with a double A-side single! There are a few surprises set to come along with that too. Bunni Morretto: Yaassss!! We have lots of super exciting plans. We’re also playing some really exciting festivals and gigs. We can't wait!!! Instagram Facebook

Watane Davis, who goes by the moniker Slong Danglr, is a 29-year-old San Diego-based rapper.

Heavily influenced by artists such as Suga Free, E-40, and Dj-quick. Slong Danglr has performed at venues in San Diego such as Queen Bee’s, The Merrow, World Beat Center, Brick By Brick, and more using his platform to gain fans from across the globe. Back with a full-on Trap fueled track titled “Shake Shake,” Slong Danglr returns as part of the duo PARIAH featuring Royal Ruler. In this dark realm of enticing weighty bass and perfectly timed kick drums, the colossal environment serves us up a hard-hitting reality as PARIAH laces this track with what they do best. Embodying all trademarks of the new wave hits that are swarming the radio, the underground feel to this record has us grasping on to something that is raw and unfiltered, yet has the polished essence of mainstream appeal. Icy cadences glide onto the composition as Slong Danglr and Royal Ruler attack the beat in a way that eases the sharp edge of articulation and places the spotlight on the relaxed charisma that comes pouring from their unforgettable personas instead. With both artists bringing various flavors to this composition, you can’t stop listening to the vigor they bring to the table as their artistic talents contrast one another for a final product that does not disappoint. PARIAH leads the pack in a way that carves out their placement in the industry while displaying their uniqueness to a fan base that remains on the hook of each musical creation they release. Listen to "Shake Shake" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Slong Danglr, we love the atmosphere you create in “Shake Shake.” Could you please tell us more about the duo that is PARIAH? How did this come to be? Well me and my brother Raje (Royal Ruler) I believe it was a Saturday night. We were deciding to come up with their wrap duo for San Diego music scene. At the time our mindsets were on something different we were listening to the Outcast album “Aquemini” I noticed both of their styles Had their own unique sound. And on top of that, the album title was both of their horoscope science Aquarius and Gemini Put together. After doing a little research of our own we found out OutKast definition is Pariah meaning Different doesn’t belong the outcast. After giving it some thought we took it and ran with it and that’s how Pariah was born What is the inspiration behind “Shake Shake?" In your own words, what does it mean to you? What “Shake Shake” means to me is the independent woman making her own move. From any direction, she chooses getting that bag some will say. A woman posting sexy pictures doesn't mean she's easy or looking for sex. Is there a creative formula that you follow when constructing your music? Could you please share a glimpse into the process that brought “Shake Shake” to life? The process of "Shake Shake" just began with just me looking at social media and how all young women are portrayed nowadays with only fans porn hub‘s feet fetish is so with "Shake Shake" we kind of put all that into one to give the listener to see what’s actually going on with the world so it’s not really a twerk song is injustice song for the young women around the world. What are some differences in creating solo verses in a dynamic duo like PARIAH? I couldn’t really say if there are any creative differences, if anything I will say creative motivation. We bounce off each other‘s vibe, we both give insight on what should we say and what should we not say, and that does a good job for us because two people are trying to figure out what the listener would like to hear. There’s no issue with us telling each other, "Hey man we shouldn’t put that in there" or "yeah that sh*t sounds dope let’s keep that." Instagram

Robert A. Cepeda professionally known as 3RD DEGREE, is an American Hip-Hop artist, songwriter, producer, and graphic designer with thought-provoking lyrics, smooth vocals, and a throwback delivery often compared to greats such as Nas, Jadakiss, Jay-Z, and Scarface. He writes music from an honest and personal perspective, crafting engaging stories and developed melodies, all while bringing the excitement of his music to life. Honing in on a new wave flair the propels the old school Hip-hop essence of 3RD DEGREE, his latest single “Christmas,” has us immersed in a thought-provoking song fixated on his lyrical dexterity. Coming from the album ‘My Time In Rap,’ we hear the structure of the verses trickle into personal experiences that revolve around his career in the rap entertainment industry. Lyrical motifs such as ‘From B-side singles, this rap shit was Plan A, Plan B was the pistols,’ etch themselves into your mind as the wordplay exudes the flair from a seasoned artist in the industry. As we find ourselves swaying to the instrumentation rich in opulent guitar riffs, golden horns, and a reminiscent drum pattern that drives home the Boom Bap essence in “Christmas.” The second verse has to be our favorite as 3RD DEGREE shouts out various vets to the Hip-hop and R&B genre as he works their names into intricately crafted bars that punch with passion. 3RD DEGREE is a heavy hitter when it comes to how he flexes his rhyme schemes through slick cadences and a hunger in his tonal distinction. Inviting his listeners into a deeper expression of witty metaphors speaking the truth, the confident nature of him implants a sense of self-assured swagger in the way that we’ll carry ourselves from here on out. Listen to "Christmas" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic, 3RD DEGREE. To say that we love “Christmas,” would be an understatement. Your wordplay is next level! Could you please take us into the overall concept behind the song’s narrative? Thank you, so much writing for me is a labor of love on so many levels. The overall concept of the Song “Christmas” is taking it back to an era when you actually had to go to a physical store to purchase music. In the second verse, I use the titles of albums and artists that I have actually purchased to describe the state of the music industry. What’s this song’s significance to you as it comes off of the album ‘My Time In Rap?' Do you find it reflects you as both an artist and individual in an authentic way? The song “Christmas” takes me back to being a teenager in the late 90s early 2000s using the money from my part-time Job to buy music that I felt was special, unlike today where $10 gives you access to unlimited music from any artist and any other genre of music. Before you really had to decide what you wanted and cracking open those CDs felt like Christmas Morning. It was some personal then. We would love it if you could shine a light on the creative process you endured when structuring this track. Did you work with anyone else in order to achieve the desired sound you had envisioned? My creative process comes from anywhere, watching TV, surfing the Web, reading blogs. This song “Christmas” came from a “Throwback Thursday” post on Instagram of me posting Some CDs that I had purchased knowing the kids nowadays didn’t really know what that felt like….it felt like Christmas! What has been the best piece of advice that you have received throughout your career? The best advice I’ve heard is: You're always one hit away from everything changing. Just put in the work no excuses just do it. What's next for you? Well, I’m working on releasing a few music videos for the MY TIME IN RAP project the response. For me, it's really has been amazing. Putting together a limited edition vinyl version of the project just to tie into the classic feel of the project! #BuzzMusic

Always one to stand out from the crowd and never interested in being labeled by society, Mashawi is a multifaceted artist, singer, fashion trailblazer, celebrity stylist, and performer who is no stranger to the music world. Mashawi has always been surrounded by music, growing up in a family of musicians, where he was consistently performing in school concerts, talent shows, assemblies, auditioned for Canadian Idol, even for a short instance was in a boy band group. Now in 2021, he has plans to release plenty of new music and projects, urging his fan base to keep their eyes open for what’s next. Dipping into his most recent single, “Don’t Tell,” Mashawi produces an environment of mystery that dwindles throughout the thought-provoking soundscape exuded. The manner in which Mashawi transitions between two types of deliveries that each ushers you into the depths of his creative mind is uncanny. We have the spoken word direction that simmers in a clear and present message being cast to his audience, while the melodic timbres he releases when the chorus drops into full action have us immersed in the secretive lyrics he conveys. With lyrical motifs such as ‘keep calm carry on, word gets around what comes around goes around,’ you hear the pent-up frustrations that Mashawi generously offers in his songwriting techniques. As the instrumentation pays homage to the buoyant and dark Pop of the ’80s, we sink into our seats as we hang onto the nostalgic meets modern wave essence bubbling from each distorted synth and rhythmic drum pattern. It’s truly brilliant how the lyrics fit the musicality of “Don’t Tell,” in a way that has you eager to learn more about the artist and individual that is Mashawi. Colliding with prevailing vocals that hint towards ominous hues, the sonic voyage that we embark on is one for the books. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Mashawi, and congratulations on your most recent single “Don’t Tell.” We love the mystery lurking in the essence of this record! Could you please take us into what inspired the meaning behind this song? Yes of course! And thank you for having me! Well, first of all, I wrote this song on the subway train on my way to work one morning. I just felt really inspired because I had a little situation and I wanted to write about it. Pretty much I told a co-worker that I was going to leave work early that day because it was my birthday and once I’m done I’m out. Then 10 minutes later my manager calls me and said where are you going, I heard you want to leave early today. I said yes, I have plans today because it’s my birthday. It was not a problem with my manager once I finish my work and everything, but the point is that this co-worker was jealous because they had a lot of work and didn’t want me to leave early, so they stitched on me. I was so shocked I really thought this co-worker wouldn’t say anything and I thought they would understand because it was my birthday. After that, I never told that co-worker anything again and I was done. You have to be careful who you tell secrets to because it may get back to you again. So, if I tell you a secret keep it between us. In terms of emotions stirred, what are you hoping listeners feel when listening to this song? It’s open to your own interpretation of how you feel about it. But I wrote it from a place of being let down, upset, and disappointed like you can’t trust anyone. You could also feel strong, confident, brave, and invincible because you're going to keep going no matter what they say. I know people can relate because everyone has had at least one experience where they told someone something and you heard it again from someone else or you’ve been confronted about it. Could you please share a glimpse into the creative process that brought “Don’t Tell” to life? Was there anyone helping you to achieve the desired sound of this vision? Yes! Okay first I had an experience at work, and it made me feel uncomfortable and betrayed, so I needed to write it out and put it into a song. I got inspired on the train one morning on my way to work with a melody already ready to go. Then a couple of days later I called up one of my Producer friends Brock Fricker who is incredible, and we got together and made the whole beat, vocals, mixing, and mastering. I’m in the studio for the whole process from beginning to end. I’m also learning a lot about the process and that’s really key for any artist to take it all in. I wanted to put some cool electric guitars and other interesting instruments to make my unique sound. It’s always fun exploring different sounds and beats, but at times it can be daunting because it can be endless. We finished this song in about 3 sessions, so every Saturday for 3 weeks and you always want to change something in the song, but at some point, you have to call it quits and move on. What does “Don’t Tell,” say about you as an artist, and what’s to come from you? I feel like “Don’t Tell” is just the beginning of what I have coming up and it’s just a tiny piece of me. Also, this song shows what’s important to me such as secrecy, no stitching, loyalty, trustworthiness, honesty, and minding your own business. There is also some mystery in the song throughout the different parts, who doesn’t like a bit of mystery. We all are a little bit mysterious. I like to bring some fun and a lot of movement in most of my songs because if you're not having fun then what is the point. You can expect more music and projects real soon. What's next for you? Well, I’m always working on new projects and keeping myself creatively busy. Throughout this year I will be dropping some singles and hopefully an album. You can expect some music videos, some performances once everything gets better, some magazine editorials, fashion projects, and interviews. I don’t want to say too much, but honestly, the sky is not the limit for me I’m shooting past the moon and then some. Connect with Mashawi: Instagram Facebook

Having been discovered by renowned hip-hop mogul UneekInt in the summer of 2020 led Edison down his remarkable and groundbreaking musical journey. Through influences like Usher, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Trey Songz, and Chris Brown, Edison fully immersed himself into the music scene through various singles and releases that continue to garner the attention of international audiences. Delving into his latest bop, "Whatever," Edison and his booming sonics offer an incredibly dense and heated atmosphere.

Find Edison's latest single, "Whatever," on all digital streaming platforms, and share some love with the up-and-coming r&b star as he continues tearing our industry to shreds with each endeavor. Thank you for catching up with us at BuzzMusic, Edison. We admire the uplifting feel and desirous tones of your recent single, "Whatever." When did you begin executing ideas for this single, and how did the song's inspiration come about? I began executing ideas about a month before the song came out. I was listening to the production and I was trying to create an idea as far as my approach to who I am and my thought process as far as how I talk to women. The inspiration mainly came from a place that resembled my approach to a romantic evening even if it’s just for one night. What did you want your audience to feel and experience after listening to the overall single, "Whatever?" What sort of vibe were you looking to achieve? I wanted them to feel this natural case of being relaxed and having a great time. You don’t have to be clever all the time which is why I’m all about taking a girl out and asking what she is down to do because I’m down for whatever. People will dance to this song which is also a vibe that I was looking forward to achieving. Did you work with any producers when creating "Whatever," or did you produce this single yourself? What was the song's behind-the-scenes process like? Yes, my manager UneekInt produced the track. When he showed me the beat, I had an original idea for it but none of it was catchy or creative. It probably took me a day or two for me to think about it a little bit more because I felt like I was trying to be too creative, so I needed that time to gather my thoughts and once I did the song came to fruition. It took a few days to completely record the song right and after going over it, the green light was given, and eventually, we were able to release the song a few weeks later. Regarding your professional relationship with UneekInt, how has he helped your career expand and flourish? Do you two often collaborate? He is definitely a great manager to have. He and I talk almost every day about what the next plan should be or he’ll give me a call and give me updates on what’s going on and so forth. He is my eyes and ears when it comes to this business since I don’t have the insights into what is going on. He is the one that got me more serious about being on articles and has gotten me the connections that I need to go forward. It is always great to have a manager that can manage, produce, and song write himself. Artists need a manager that can do everything. We collaborate all the time, I have more music on the way that he also produced. Working with him has truly been a blessing. Instagram Facebook

Christina Nini made her move from New Jersey to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue her career of becoming a Pop solo artist. Music has always been an instrumental part of her life but it wasn’t until she moved to Music City that she began to discover her love of songwriting and really shape her own sound and identity. “What It Feels Like,” is the most recent single from the emerging Pop artist taking the world by storm. Transporting us into a realm of sultry vocals enhanced by the reverberated vessel they flourish in, the dark ambiance that is projected throughout the essence of this track remains full of thought-provoking tendencies. Influenced by artists such as Coldplay, Lennon Stella, and many others, we hear pieces of their artistry in the shimmering sound conveyed, all while Christina Nini gives us something that is entirely a reflection of her own driven capabilities. Weaved into the thick of the melodic soundscape we’re graced with, Christina Nini has a knack for drawing her fan base towards illuminated verses and mesmerizing hooks. Keeping her delivery buoyant in an environment riddled with shadowy synths, the manner in which her euphonious timbres grace the instrumentation remains pleasing on dimensions beyond comprehension. Enhancing the tone with various vocal layers depicting not only an extensive vocal range but Christina Nini’s ability to harmonize, the depth that is showcased has us placing “What It Feels Like,” on loop in order to absorb every moment she emanates. As long as Christina Nini is at the helm of her seemingly graceful creations, we’re ready to ride the waves she produces. Hello Christina Nini, and thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic. The entire thesis of “What It Feels Like,” has us in overdrive! We love it! In your own words, could you please the meaning behind this song? The meaning behind “What It Feels Like” is about letting go of anything that is causing you stress, anxiety, depression, etc. I wrote WIFL after writing a lot of sad songs—I was finally getting over a dark period in my life where I was wallowing in sadness from the past. It was the first song I wrote when I was genuinely happy and content because I had gotten out of a relationship that wasn’t serving me any good. The song is about embracing change. It’s about letting go of toxic people/relationships and realizing how good it feels when you are finally able to leave negativity in the past. Do you find that the sounds of “What It Feels Like,” directly ties into the three-song project you have coming out later this year? I think the song ties into the other 2 songs I’ve released/am releasing because it’s one piece of the puzzle. All three songs are inspired by different people per se, but they are all a part of my entire experience. All of the songs are about relationships I had and events that shaped me to where I am now. We would love it if you could take us into the creative process embarked on this single. What went into bringing it to life? The creative process for “What It Feels Like” started with a feeling. Quite literally! I was finally at a place where I was like “so this is how it feels to be genuinely happy?” I wrote this song with Gabe Simon and Ethan Hulse–– we talked about what I was feeling after leaving a stand-still relationship and then we started writing. Before writing the song, I knew I wanted the title to be “What It Feels Like”. Ethan and Gabe helped me bring my emotions and feelings to the forefront. After we had a demo of the song, I brought it to my producer, David Spencer, and he absolutely killed the production! I think it’s my favorite production I’ve ever had on a song of my own. I knew I wanted it to be uplifting and up-tempo, while also keeping a lot of organic elements on this track. I wanted there to be a lot of stacked vocals on the song also so that it felt light and airy but also have a drive. What does “What It Feels Like,” say about you and your artistry? What are you hoping that your audience takes away from this debut single? I feel that creating “What It Feels Like” was a big step for me as an artist. For as long as I’ve written music, I have always gravitated to sad ballads. It’s super easy for me to write something sad, so writing “What It Feels Like” was more of a challenge for me. A challenge that I feel paid off. Not only was it transformative for me as an artist, but I think for my listeners as well. It’s almost a new lane of music that I wasn’t really comfortable with writing before, but now that I’ve done it, I’ve realized how therapeutic and authentic it was for me. As for my audience, if they take away one thing from this song, I hope it’s the message. Like I mentioned before, I’m not one to preach “you can move on!” or “leave them it’s not worth it!” (as much as I wish I could lol) so I hope that my listeners hear the song and understand it’s ok to put yourself first. In fact, it’s what you should do. I want them to feel positivity while listening to the song and I hope it just makes them feel good. Instagram

Beto is more than ready to bring listeners into a sonic escapade of relatable dreams and fantasies through his long-awaited single, ON FIRE," especially during these unnerving times. When speaking upon the single, "ON FIRE," Beto mentioned that the release stemmed from a dream of meeting a woman drenched in flames who mesmerized him to his core.

That is the big question. But who actually will be the next Nirvana?!? No one. That’s impossible. No one will ever be Kurt Cobain and no one will write those songs again. But that phrase “The next (fill in the blank of any great past band)” has been used over and over again because we’re all searching for that next great band to call our own. The type of band that inspires change. That type of band ignites a new movement. The type of band that stirs your soul. Where is the next great band going to come from? Aberdeen? Seattle? Glasgow? Who knows. But one thing for sure is that Nirvana influenced enough musicians that anything even close to Nirvana grabs the attention of music lovers who miss - or were never there because they were not born yet - the first grunge movement. Some of the staff at the new indie label Grunge Pop Records saw Nirvana at their first show in Seattle. They saw and experienced Nirvana before they had even recorded their debut BLEACH. No one knew how important they would become, nor believe they would go from playing to almost no one - and in three short years - to becoming the biggest band in the world; and making the term “grunge” a worldwide sensation. Well, it’s going to be the thirty-year anniversary of Nirvana’s NEVERMIND come this September 24th, and all hell is gonna break loose globally. Grunge Pop Records is already on the move to find and introduce to the world the next wave of grunge bands and they’ve already found some bands with many more to come. THE NEW GRUNGE MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN Barb Wire Dolls and Prince Of Lilies have both signed multi-album deals with Grunge Pop Records; more band signings to be announced. ''THE SEATTLE GRUNGE SOUND OF TODAY'' Grunge Pop Records will launch into the music world on July 15, 2021 - bringing music lovers who miss the Seattle grunge sound of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s - modern bands that have that new grunge noise: LOUD, DISTORTED, UNDERGROUND ROCK. BARB WIRE DOLLS Single/Video out Sept 10, 2021 7” Vinyl Split Single out Winter 2021 Barb Wire Dolls were personally signed by Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead to his Warner Music label in 2015.

Being heralded by the UK press as “Nirvana meets Hüsker Dü” and “The sound of Kings Of Leon being abused by Nirvana”, Prince Of Lilies fuse grunge, punk, and thrashing garage rock.
 Their forthcoming debut album VENT, recorded in just two days by Steve Albini, (Nirvana, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Pixies, Fugazi), is the kind of album that lets you believe in the power of passionate rock music again. 
Echoing the likes of Nirvana's debut record or the early Soundgarden, Tad, and Mudhoney material - or anything for that matter on the early Sub Pop catalog - these are dynamic pop songs with a hardcore edge, replacing slickness for a gritty live feel and punk attitude.
