The song talks about the feeling of being loved. Wondering how it feels to be loved by someone. Wondering if my past experiences truly loved. This song was my escape from my typical heartbroken songs. The production of “How It Feels” has that ’90s R&B vibe to it, how did the whole backing element of the record come to life? Did you start with any particular elements? I’ve had an obsession with the 90s since forever! I wanted to create a vibe! I heard the beat for how it feels online created by producer 8fifty and I fell in love! It made me feel happy and chillin. It made it very easy for me to write about love and positives of it.

Maintaining soul in my music is highly influenced by these artists and I hope to create music that is as timeless as theirs. At what point in your life did you decide you wanted to make a career out of music? What are some steps you took to help achieve that goal? 2018 I decided to follow my heart and to give music a chance. I didn’t want to live life wondering what if. Knowing myself I would have eventually regretted not trying so I made a decision to put in the work and see where it takes me. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? 2020 my goal is to be consistent. I have so much music and so many ideas and I just want to consistently put it out there. instagram.com/zenesoul twitter.com/zenesoul #BUZZMUSIC

RYAN LAKEBREEZE is a Toronto based rapper and songwriter whose music is filled with expertly thought through flow, the grit of street reverence, and obstructing traffic with his menacing but monotone rhythm. The music that RYAN LAKEBREEZE creates will have you hiding under the covers and this is something that is evidently found in his latest release “Pushy”. “Pushy” opens up with an esoteric vocoded vocal that sits over the top of a deep Moogy pulsing bass that slowly builds up the energy to get our bodies moving to the beat. Once RYAN LAKEBREEZE’s vocals enter, we were thrown into a black hole of deep vibes and attitude. There’s a slightly creepy atmosphere to this one, something about the incredibly direct and straight vocal performance overtop of the deep patient backing track makes for an experience that will easily start to get in your head. “Pushy” features moody synths and effected background vocals, a deep bass, a modern but organic 808 drum kit, and of course to sell the show is RYAN LAKEBREEZE’s ultra-deep, gritty vocals that tell us about the people that push onto others the things they don’t have. We are loving this release and can’t wait to hear what is next to come from RYAN LAKEBREEZE. You can find “Pushy” here. instagram.com/ryanlakebreeze #BUZZMUSIC

He can easily flow through unprocessed verses and delivers an equally impressive performance as his voice echo's through various synths throughout the performance.

Hello GoodWillHunter, and welcome to BuzzMusic. "I Got That Sauce" blew us away! Can you start by telling us a bit more about the track and how it came about? First I want to thank you guys for having on your platform. I’m glad that you guys love the record I Got That Sauce. The way I came up with the record I was at my friend's house. We were just hanging playing instrumentals and the beat just spoke to me. I thought about feeling good and feeling good about creating music and I got the sauce came about. You mentioned you grew up in a conflicted area, how has that shaped the sound we hear from you today? I think the area that I’m from shaped the sound of music as it shows the raw and gritty ness. You can hear it in my delivery when I’m rapping. I also think it shaped it to be witty and flamboyant with style because I’m where we like to show out in the summertime. I think because our summer months aren’t as long as other parts of the country & think you can hear that in music. You recently worked with producer David Sisko on your latest project. Can you tell us a bit about that experience and how his influence has shaped your sound? Ummm working Sisko (what I call him) in the studio is like a release. It's like a strong bond between brothers to get a job done that we both love. He helps me a lot with using my voice and challenges me to take it to another level but also be comfortable with what I’m doing in the studio. I love that about 'em - he lets me do me and we create some timeless records together. You have such a fluid sound and create fresh, original pieces that really stand out from others. What is the overall tone you want listeners to take away from your music? The tone that I want others to take away from my music. Is just to count yourself, love yourself, and believe in yourself. I want people to turn to my music when they’re feeling down or feeling up or need a pick-up. Just that piece of music that will get you through the day. Thank you for talking with us, GoodWillHunter. What will you be working on in the coming months? Thank you guys for having me as far as me, just putting together more dope music. Looking to finish up the short film that I've been working on. I think people are going to love what I’m bringing to the table coming up. instagram.com/goodwh #BUZZMUSIC

Queens NY, New Age Hip-Hop artist Senior Gee is back on BuzzMusic with his recent deep-running single “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice”. While always striving to grow and expand his sound to maximize relevancy amongst a variety of audiences, it’s safe to say that his lyrical content can resonate with simply anyone who takes the time to listen thoroughly. His recent single “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice”, Senior Gee creates a deeply complex song/message to his mother, touching on different topics that pull emotional strings. While upping Adele’s vocals a few octaves, Senior Gee raps his textured bars overtop a flawless piano beat and Adele’s beautiful melancholy sound. Opening with Adele’s filtered vocals layered overtop lush piano melodies, “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice” begins with a harmonically-rich introduction. Senior Gee’s mother’s voicemail is softly incorporated, while he cleverly raps his message at the beep when the beat drops. This was indeed the point of no return, as Senior Gee went in with his entire soul to provide a heartfelt message to not only his mother but to everyone. While giving thanks to his mother for everything he’s learned, he also touches on how famous modern rappers mislead the youth into thinking that pharmaceuticals and dishonesty is the new truth. He delivers similar to Joey Bada$$, incorporating nothing but reality and fighting for what he believes in. Modern age hip-hop has never been so textured, especially with Senior Gee’s “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice”. We decided to go one step further and shine a light on his previous single “Oooohhh,” which we’ve recently featured. As we compare these two songs, we can tell that “Oooohhh” incorporates more of a new age hip-hop sound through whole sounding drum patterns and melodic electric guitar. He puts modern rappers on blast and fully realizes that a catchy beat with nonsensical lyrics is what makes the charts nowadays. Have we mentioned that Senior Gee doesn’t curse within these two songs? He lets his messages stand loud and clear. What strikes our attention before listening was the brilliant artwork seemingly missing the parental advisory sticker, almost telling a story of its own. He brings back the era of powerful artwork in hopes of other artists taking part. We hope that you take something away from Senior Gee’s music, as he’s an artist to stick around for a while. You can listen to “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice” here. Check out our artist spotlight with Senior Gee on his release “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat.

Senior Gee graces BuzzMusic once again, and this time we’d like to expand on Senior Gee’s journey and the initial inspiration for his single “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice”. After the unfortunate passing of his mother back in 2018, Senior Gee’s close friend and producer Bishop created a song for a project titled “The Broken Place.” They wanted none other than Senior Gee to express his genuine emotion and perform over the track. While Bishop’s mother sadly became ill and passed away, Senior Gee and Bishop knew precisely where they wanted to take the song while letting their mothers know that they’re still the warriors they were raised to be. Speaking more on Senior Gee’s approach to rap in the modern world, while refraining from cursing, he’s effortlessly able to express himself naturally with the powerful force of simply being himself. Senior Gee noted that he’s well aware that some listeners may not be as open-minded as others, yet that doesn’t stop him from creating art that fulfills his soul’s purpose. Seeing as the universe has thrown many curveballs at Senior Gee, he is continually moving forward, but he takes it one step at a time and thanks to the powers above for blessing him another day. Discover “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice" here. Speaking on your single “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice” and “Ooohhh”, Senior Gee lets us realize how meaningful rap isn’t what’s popular today. What drove you to create these tracks that speak a broader message than what we normally hear? I can't say anything, in particular, drove me to create this music. I've always created my music based on feeling and what happens naturally during the creative process. I truly believe that's what helps me create the New Age Hip-Hop music that I'm making (If it ain't broke don't fix it). Other than that it's easier to just be the best me, I'm not into pretending to be something I'm not for monetary gains. I'm very aware that everyone won't be receptive but, that doesn't mean I stop doing what I feel is a portion of my purpose in this lifetime. We’d just like to say how refreshing it is to not only hear a great rap song without cursing but with honest and deep running concepts. What initially led you to this truly authentic and genuine sound? Again, humbly I have to repeat myself and say that it's just easy to just be me I'm just being myself and being natural so that's why it comes out effortlessly, with the inclusion of numerology, which is the core of New Age Hip-Hop. Any artists that you were inspired by? In regards to this record not anyone in particular, however, there's a plethora of artists and groups I've gained inspiration from over the years since childhood. But, ultimately Ms. Adele's Voice is the inspiration in itself. The words she sings has a lot to do with letting our mothers know we're going to be good, don't worry themselves and to enjoy their pieces of Heaven. Our mothers loved Adele as a recording artist so this record is a win on many levels. Speaking on the artwork within “Same Way (Voicemail 2 Momz) feat. Adele’s Voice” and “Ooohhh”, you capture brilliant graffiti and complex sketches. What made Senior Gee so passionate about a record’s artwork, and how do you create artwork that relates to your music? I guess I'm just being a modern-day Alex Steinweiss. I mean back in the days when Columbia Records hired him as their first art director in 1938 he changed the game as far as artwork for records, he paved the way for an individual like me to have my own concept on how the artwork on a record cover can have value and it takes away from that value when you constantly see a parental advisory label, tag, tattoo pretty much on there. To me it just takes away from the equity of it. For example, any record cover that's worth a lot of currency doesn't have a parental advisory label on it. As far as creating artwork that relates to the music, well that's done in stages. Once the record is complete I go into graphic design mode and I rely on my close-knit team to assist me with finalizing an original concept that first comes to my mind but, it's all mainly based on feeling & intuition. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? One thing for sure is, whatever Senior Gee does forthcoming BuzzMusic will be the 1st to know about it. Other than that, humbly, I'm going to sound like a broken record. Whatever the universe has in store for me I'll gracefully accept and just take it one day at a time; I'm just grateful my eyes opened up this morning.

Hailing from Toronto, artist/rapper EverythingOShauN drops his track "Sweet" full of energy and rhythm. Influenced by his background of Nigerian and Jamaican descent and the Toronto music scene, it wasn't long before the city came to notice EverythingOShauN and his immense talent. With songs being played at home Raptors games and notable local radio station Flow 93.5, EverythingOShauN came back with a hit to top these tracks, being "Sweet." Taking this up-beat track by the horns, EverythingOShauN and his producer/brother Xpress aka DJXP, bring a "Sweet" dancehall/hip-hop vibe through exhilarating production and catchy delivery. Giving us a track to let loose and dance to, we can already see why EverythingOShauN has been a staple for Toronto's independent music scene. Brightly kicking off with striking upbeat production and a kick that blasts through our speakers, "Sweet" is off to quite the energetic start. Establishing the lively atmosphere, we can see why EverythingOShauN released this track at the peak of summer as it exudes warmth and effortlessly induces dancing. Xpress, aka DJXP, has clearly crafted "Sweet" with a broad approach, as he incorporates modern hip-hop elements overtop a stimulating dancehall beat. EverythingOShauN brings forward concise imagery of wanting someone and loving their energy, while also adding in a few playful remarks. It's evident that EverythingOShauN and Xpress, aka DJKP's brotherhood, has helped them bring cohesive music to the table, and allowing listeners to get down with any vibe they portray. "Sweet" is just a taste of EverythingOShauN's discography, yet it's a savory one. You can listen to "Sweet" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic, EverythingOShauN! We’re loving the up-beat atmosphere you and your brother/producer Xpress aka DJXP have portrayed with “Sweet”. What were you going for in terms of sound and how you wanted listeners to feel? XP: I wanted to mix a feeling of musicality and a hard beat. Oshaun has always done R&B and melody-driven records, so since the lyrics and the delivery that way was more about cadence and one tone, I wanted the beat to play as the contrary and make up for it. Speaking on the lyrics within “Sweet”, EverythingOShauN goes deep into passionate lyrics of wanting someone. Was there a specific inspiration behind this track, or was it more of a spur of the moment? EverythingOShauN : it was basically a song we came up with that paid homage to our Nigerian grandmother who would use the tag line “piam piam” as a sound effect/lingo for us being in “trouble” lol. And as you know, “bad “ is always good, so we used it in a positive way for describing that “passion” lol. Seeing as EverythingOShauN and Xpress aka DJXP are brothers, how has your sibling dynamic helped the two of you create music? Are there any challenges that present themselves when working with family? XP:  well in the general role of “producer”, there is a certain level of trust that an artist has to put in that person even if they don’t see the vision right away. Greats always talk about it. During this quarantine, it had been a constant echo with various artists and producers speaking to this and I’ve personally heard more of and it speaks to the collaborative effort between two people coming up with a sound. Anybody can make a beat, but to navigate a vision for a record, that’s harder. EO: working with my bro, there is always a challenge lol but when you’re working with a family in this sense, there’s more of a connection of understanding in regards to what we are trying to achieve, in the influences sonically or just knowing what I would be looking for production-wise, without too much long talking. This is probably what sets us apart from other artist-producer duos out there. Even if he doesn’t “make the beat” or if it’s collaborations with our boys, 5Piece or SLWJMZ, or whoever, XP will still touch the record and produce in the original sense - this will always make sure I do my best with it. We’ve heard that EverythingOShauN has made waves across the Toronto music scene. How does living in Toronto help your music grow, and why do you think so many people in the city resonate with your music? EO: Toronto’s music identity is as vast as the people that are here. Because the sound here has really taken a more permanent shape with the likes of Drake and Weeknd, those sounds will always be the backbone consciously and subconsciously for a lot of artists. You take that and mix in my Nigerian and Jamaican background which are two musical giants on their own, then the other various pockets like Arabic or Latin, and you will start to see that if done correctly, people of all walks can gravitate to your music because it’s never one dimensional. Since Toronto is a small representation of the world, if your music can capture people here, that will be repeated everywhere else. XP: Which is why a lot of music consumed in popular music originates from here, production wise too because our influences help guide the music. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? EO: Music music and more music. By the time you are reading this, I will have released more. The goal is to keep dropping more. More videos are coming, the merch line is coming and all of that can be found atEverythingOShauN.com instagram.com/everythingoshaun twitter.com/EvrythingOshaun facebook.com/everythingoshaun #BUZZMUSIC

Burning up the North American hip-hop scene, D'NME is standing behind his thought, invoking rhymes, creating the material that challenges beliefs and idolisms nationwide. Born Roderick Anson in Toronto, Canada, D'NME first arrived in the underground Toronto rap scene in the late 2000s with his first mixtape, "The Death Of Me." D'NME skillfully honed in on the emergence of the digital music market and independently released his second mixtape, "Guns & Roses," in 2012. Staying true to his indie roots, D'NME has appeared on several underground collaborations and was featured in the Indie Grind Spotlight edition of 'Hip Hop Weekly's' magazine. Since then, D'NME has shown no signs of slowing down, creating and releasing several more projects. His love for creating authentic, "in your face" lyrical rap has garnered D'NME great notoriety in the independent scene and has been featured on blogs such as Thisis50.com, RespectMag.com, and Allhiphop.com. His seasoned approach in building his artistic creations comes from the many lessons he has learned over the years and takes complete accountability for the directions he takes his flow. Discover D'NME today and listen to "Untouchable" here. Hey D’NME, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’d like to start by saying you just might have blown our speakers with your hard-hitting single “Untouchable”. What made you want to write a track that emphasizes authenticity, and staying away from stupidity? Thank you for having me. It’s great to know that “Untouchable” resonated with you guys. To be honest, I really wrote “Untouchable” for me. I guess you could say the love I have for authentic, in your face, lyrical rap inspired me to write the song the way I did. Regardless of what direction I go in, musically, I always want people to see me as an MC first. I take a lot of pride in the art of rapping, so when it comes to me as an MC, you’re definitely going to get a lot of authenticity because I approach rap with that competitive mindset. With regards to the underlying production with “Untouchable”, the beat ranges from old school to modern-day hip hop. Where did you want the production to take the song? How did you originally want the track to sound? When I was in the studio with my producer, Jon Bonus, I asked him to make me something that gives me the freedom to just straight-up rap. Jon is so dope at crafting music that compliments my rap style, but he’s also very strategic when it comes to producing. So even though there’s an old school feel, he made sure that the production also maintained a current sound as well so the record wouldn’t come across as too dated. The last thing you want to do is have great rapping on a beat that doesn’t grab the listener’s attention because it sounds too old. As far as the content goes, I’d be lying if I told you that I knew exactly what I was going to rap about when Jon was making the beat. I knew for sure that the track would be rap heavy, but that’s about it. I actually started writing the lyrics for “Untouchable” a year or so after the beat was made. A lot of times, I need to live with a beat for a while before I write something to it. Once I wrote the first four bars, I started to think: “Ok this is going to be one of those types of tracks where I’m showing off my skills and making a statement as a true MC.” Within your single “Untouchable”, your lyrical content serves nothing but confidence and knowing who you are. Have you always captured this self-assured tone, or was it a journey to build up that striking confidence? I’ve always believed in myself, but that unshakeable confidence I have is definitely something that I’ve built up throughout the years. All the years that I’ve invested in rapping gives me confidence, but more than that, a lot of psychological conditioning has played a huge part in my confidence. I constantly repeat affirmations and visualize myself in that greatest rapper conversation. I think you have to believe that you’re the greatest in whatever you do to really make an impact and attract great things into your life. I’m of the belief that you have to champion yourself and see yourself as great before anyone else does. We’ve heard that you began releasing music of your own through mixtapes in the early 2000s. Coming such a long way in your career, what lessons have you learned after releasing music for this long? I’ve learned so many lessons over the years, but one of the most important lessons that I’ve learned is that you have to take one hundred percent accountability for your career and for the choices you make. The music business has a lot of twists and turns, but if you are honest with yourself and take accountability, you’ll become immune to the trials and tribulations that a lot of others have fallen victim to. We hear horror stories every day of bad deals or certain opportunities that fell through, but if we step back and really look at every situation, it starts with the individual and their choice. For me, if something doesn’t go as planned in my career, I don’t blame anyone, I take accountability, revise my strategy and continue to move forward. instagram.com/dnmeofficial twitter.com/dnmeofficial facebook.com/DNMEofficial #BUZZMUSIC
