Hailing BuzzMusic from New York City is the Rock / Alternative singer, songwriter, actor, and producer Smolsky. Ever since seeing Ed Sheeran performed in 2011, Smolsky has been pursing with all of his heart to turn his musical dream into a career. Smolsky has already created his own label and publisher Crazy Bitch Records and has toured across the US and EU. Now making waves as an artist, Smolsky released his high energy new single “Dance With Me” and from the first second you will be thrown into a craze. An instant takeaway from “Dance With Me” is how Smolky manages to perfectly craft an ever, so groovy rhythm that is able to make your body start moving in ways you never knew possible. Complimenting this groove is a beautifully sweet vocal performance that is full of brilliantly written melodies that will quickly be able to get stuck in your head. We are in awe from this color picture of a song, with lyrics like “1 2 3 baby dance with me” Smolsky is able to get into our heads and have us singing along by the time the second chorus hits. “Dance With Me” features a thundering but ambient drum kit, a chugging along with acoustic guitar, and then the star of the show, Smolsky’s magical voice. We cannot wait to hear what will be coming next in the future of Smolsky’s journey.  You can listen to “Dance With Me” here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Smolsky! We are loving your latest release “Dance With Me”, how did you come up with the concept of wanting to get someone to dance with you? Was that the initial songwriting idea or did it come after you began building the song? Oh, thank you so much for that. That’s so sweet of you. The song really came out of left field one evening during this stay-at-home order when all I wanted to do was dance with the person I was crushing on. Who wouldn't want to have a living room dance party with their special someone? As far as building the track, the melody came fairly quickly and easily when I was writing sitting at my piano. The whole song was written almost within the hour.  Speaking of the song, we are loving the groove you created! What was the recording like for the drums and guitar? Are you able to talk to us about what that setup was like? As I mentioned, the song started out as a piano ballad, but I knew it needed more of a dance vibe to fit with its title. The drums you hear are samples from an old kit I borrowed back in New York. I flew back home to California mid-recording due to the pandemic so the rest of the instrumentation and vocals were all recorded in my childhood bedroom during my mandatory 14-day isolation period.  Coming from New York, did you ever feel that it was difficult to create the music you wanted in that city? Or did you find it easy to express yourself? How has the sound of the city influenced you? New York is a beast of her own. She can inspire you and break you down within the same moment. At first, I did have trouble readjusting from my suburban California roots. However, as soon as I recalibrated to those big city nights, my musical brain took off running. This new album is heartfelt and bombastic and the heart and soul of New York I really believe can be heard through each track.  Touring across the US and EU is quite exciting, what were some of your highlight moments in each country? How do you try to engage with the audience with every show? Touring and playing is one of my favorite things to do ever and I think it hurts every artist that they can’t share that art form right now because I know it kills me. A couple of highlights from my travels would be playing in Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day and how much of a riot that crowd was. Another was being able to sing my song ‘Woman in Liverpool” in Liverpool as that city has created some of the best music ever recorded (Hello Beatles Fans!). What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? Because of the pandemic, all live shows have been postponed for the time being but I am glad to announce I will be paired up with veeps.com to bring some virtual concerts to everyone in the coming weeks. In addition to that, my new album Reckless Ones which explores all kinds of love has been sent off to the mastering engineer so fans can expect that in the coming months. Much love to everyone! Stay safe and wash your hands! instagram.com/SmolskyLIVE twitter.com/SmolskyLIVE facebook.com/SmolskyLIVE #BUZZMUSIC

American Hip Hop artist Okayyy Bee was drawn into the music business in a quirky way when his rapper friends asked him to contribute to a song they were made by writing a chorus. Finding it incredibly easy and worthwhile, he took to creating his own music that would inspire and spread positive energy to all his listeners. His latest release is a collaboration with artist SoHusky. “C.R.E.A.M.” by Okayyy Bee and SoHusky takes motivational and passionate lyrics and wraps them up into a catchy hip hop beat.

Make sure to discover Okayyy Bee’s sound for yourself and give his new song a listen. Check out “C.R.E.A.M.” by Okayyy Bee by clicking here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Okayyy Bee! Thank you for sharing your new song with us, it was a pleasure to listen to! What does the acronym “C.R.E.A.M.” stand for? How does the image of an ice cream truck on your album art relate to your song? The acronym stands for “Cash Rules Everything Around Me”. I got the inspiration from a picture that I saw of Wu-Tang Clan and I feel like this song is a way of us giving or “serving” the listeners with inspirational lyrics. Before you dipped your toes into songwriting in 2015, did you have any interest in pursuing a career in music? Were you always planning to go into something creative? Before I dropped out of college in 2014 I wanted to declare my major in music production even though I had never done it before. I talked to my friends about the major and they had told me I wouldn’t make any real money in it so I let them talk me out of it. When I came home my cousin let me borrow his laptop with Garageband and I started playing around with it and 5 years later I’m making music full-time. Crazy how the universe works right. I was really into athletics growing up. I thought I would pursue my career in football until I left school but then I began personal training and thought that could be it. I was happy, but the music was what I really loved to do once I started. Do you often collaborate while working on songs? How do you find that other artists add value to your work? I usually only collaborate with close family or friends. As I’ve grown in my music career I’ve met a lot of musicians over time and we try to put things together when we can. If I can hear someone else being on a song I made I’ll definitely reach out to them. I think it’s dope when two artists with two different styles/sounds come together to make a record. You get to display your talent to their fans and vice versa. Collaborations are a great form of networking. We loved the detailed lyrics and message behind “C.R.E.A.M.”! Music is always something that can lift your spirits and it’s great you can use your platform to spread positivity! What is something that motivates you when you’re feeling down? Besides being in the studio and making records I would definitely have to say talking to my closest friends. It’s good to not only vent through music but to also talk to your friends about how you’re feeling. I had to learn that it’s “ok to not always be ok”. For the most part, music is therapeutic for me. What can we expect to see next from you? I have 3 new singles releasing on all music platforms on May 22. They actually are all collaborations. instagram.com/okayyy_bee twitter.com/okayyy_bee facebook.com/okayyybee #BUZZMUSIC

From Louisiana to Los Angeles, artist/rapper Malik Rose drops his introspective hit “Dark Nights”. After being inspired by certain rappers and their writing styles (Biggie, Jay-Z & J. Cole), he was compelled to create music of his own starting off in 2015. After getting radio play and international performances, Malik Rose became a force to be reckoned with in the hip hop industry. His latest release “Dark Nights” serves a dark and heavy atmosphere through prime hip hop production and perfect use of filters and effects. Malik Rose soars over the track with such talented flow and alluring vocals that keep our undivided attention. With haunting ghost vocals, subtle yet eerie pads, and a burst of maniacal laughter, “Dark Nights” establishes it’s a heavy theme from the jump. His textured and conceptual rhymes portray an authentic yet semi self-deprecating message. Rapping that he’s trapped in his mind and how modern racism creates a dark division between society, we can’t help but resonate with Malik Rose and how he authoritatively speaks the truth. As he preaches to shine bright during these “Dark Nights”, what ties the track perfectly together is the deftly-produced beat with gripping sub-bass and A$AP Rocky-like ad-libs. With Malik Rose’s tightly-wound production and clean-cut flow, “Dark Nights” brings themes we can all relate to.

The Los Angeles based Pop & R&B artist Breana began her career in 2018 and since then has already appeared on major networks CBS and ABC. Recently, Breana released her eclectic, exciting single “Lottery” and this one is full of good energy. As “Lottery” starts we felt like we were taken to Havana where Breana was throwing a secret underground party that would go until the sun would rise. There are a lot of great little details about “Lottery”, Breana for starters quickly demonstrates her ability to write a captivating hook with the lyrics “run run but you can not hide”, her little vocal adlib’s and harmonies add in a sweet little spice of interest that keeps our ears constantly pleased from start to end. The shuffling groove that keeps a constant background pulse throughout “Lottery”, this groove is then complemented by a melodic gritty bass that introduces a little Latin flair that we cannot get enough of. Breana’s performance is what seals the deal for us, as soon as her vocals begin we were given a level of comfort but with a little flair of mystery that had us constantly wanting more. We can’t recommend enough to give “Lottery” a listen, you’ll be sure to never forget it. Listen to “Lottery” here. instagram.com/breanaraquel twitter.com/BreanaRaquel #BUZZMUSIC

Out of Mid-City Los Angeles, rapper F.Y.I. brings an interesting take to hip hop with his intro track “Glowiesha” to his recent EP “Bounze Houze”. After venturing into the music industry by writing for rap trio Those Chosen and helped take their music to new levels, F.Y.I. became prominently known and as one of URB Magazine’s Top 25 Artists to Watch. After making fine-tuned power moves, he’s back and better than ever with his unique single “Glowiesha”. The track takes a different turn on modern hip hop, by incorporating a quicker pace through alt-rock instrumentals. Beginning with a pulsing bassline and rock-like drum patterns, “Glowiesha” gives an intriguing turn when F.Y.I. starts rapping. He effortlessly rides the rocking beat while delivering his bars at a fast pace yet with such clarity. “Glowiesha” sounds to be about a beautiful woman who has captured the eye of F.Y.I., and has put a spell on him. As he spills lyrics of love and longing for that person, we’re left locked into the song with its engaging instrumentals and F.Y.I’s flawless delivery. His verses scream authenticity and perfectly portray F.Y.I.’s textured creativity. “Glowiesha” is yet another head-bopper from F.Y.I. You can find "Glowiesha" here. fyipsalms.com #BUZZMUSIC

The Amy Incident has begun paving their way in the pop arena with their single "Boston". An acoustic guitar-driven completely addictive pop song with all the bells and whistles you could want from such a track. Playing out like a sing-along, the chorus and melodies certainly catch on quite fast and you find yourself humming it along later in the day.

Like a breath of fresh air, "Boston" hits that summertime spot. The single is part of the full-length self-titled The Amy Incident album which seems to bring pop-punk, rock, and emo into the mix with songs like "Jessy Pomeroy/Jessica Chiba" and "Sand". Any fan of pop-rock will enjoy this record and this single. theamyincident.com twitter.com/Amy_Incident facebook.com/TheAmyIncident #BUZZMUSIC

Philadelphia born Neo Soul-RnB infusing and self-proclaimed romantic, PKY, is the low-key master of allurement. Whether lamenting over lost lovers or sampling an ominously detuned piano on, "Melancholy Lover," from 2019’s breakout album, "Hopeless Romantic," his diaphanous, often-bittersweet ballads tend to hint at a seductive mood and leave listeners just enough space to relate their own applications. "Dreamin" becomes the first single off of PKY's Rhythm and Blues catalogue to feature a stunning representation of love lathered themes through video. In the centre-piece of his stories, PKY steps away from the more overtly upfront mixes in favour of delicate melancholy. Similarly, in his video production, the tone is set not through expensive upfront productions, but instead through a calculated approach with saturated colours washing over our Philly romantic as he crosses between the expanse of the Pennsylvanian landscapes and his cloud-filled room. With twinkling chords, a sharp cross-stick on the snare, and lo-fi cymbal splashes, his tender vocals render a lucid exhibition for someone whose relationship has gone sour, and his demeanour in the video is super reflective of that. Evocative and unassuming, PKY is featured in a silky bed-time robe, with an eyecap crown, almost as if it’s a metaphor to this singer’s warm enduring heart, and the comfort he finds in unrelenting love. But really, it could also be a cheeky wink to the song's title. Film grained effects furnish this the video with a vintage vibe as our ears flutter to the nostalgic inducing vibes of the '90s romanticly crowned era. PKY's head is clearly stuck in the clouds and dreamin' in this video feature, as he dances in a room with clouds overhead. This song is stuck in our heads, and we're only dreaming about the next release this Hopeless Romantic has in store for us later this year. Fall in love with "Dreamin" here. Hey there, PKY! Welcome to BuzzMusic! We're totally thrilled to be featuring your newest single and supporting video for "Dreamin"! Where did you end up recording for this music video? Did you travel across some parts of your hometown to get this done? Thank you so much for featuring me! I ended up recording in two locations with my videographer Gabe Rosenfeld. One scene was shot in a visual lab at Rec Philly in the Philadelphia Fashion District, and the other was an outdoor shot just behind the Philadelphia Art Museum near the Schuylkill River. There was a bit of traveling done, but both locations were close enough to my house. I loved the nature of the outside shots. How have you grown as an artist and songwriter since you first started making music and how heavily inspired do you feel from your roots in Philadelphia? I’ve definitely grown as an artist since I first started. The material on the Hopeless Romantic EP was written over the course of late 2018 into early 2019, so I feel that I’ve gotten better lyrically and musically. I’ve definitely written more songs since then! Being born and raised in Philly has inspired me, of course, it would. Philadelphia has had a ton of stars that have developed from our arts scene. Patti Labelle grew up not too far from where I was raised in North Philly, and the Stylistics used to own a house across the street from me. Jill Scott was an influence growing up, also born in Philly, and she’s one of the best of Neo-soul. Will Smith, Musiq Soulchild, Floetry, Phylis Hyman, Jazmine Sullivan, Meek Mill, The Roots, Tierra Whack, Eve, Billy Paul and so many more artists have emerged from my city. I’m proud to be from Philly as an artist. Do you think the music scene in your hometown has helped you in your endeavour to get your music recognized and heard? Or do you have plans of moving somewhere for precisely that purpose? I am fairly new as an artist, but once I tapped into the thriving arts scene here in Philly I knew that this was what I wanted to do. Joining Rec Philly, an organization dedicated to helping independent artists, showed me the resources that exist here. However, I am not opposed to exploring and expanding to new areas. It was a joy featuring you here on BuzzMusic! Do you plan on collaborating with anyone in the future? How are you approaching finding collaborators to be featured on your upcoming music? Once again, thank you for having me! I am always opened to collaborations. I already have some in mind with other independent artists. I meet a majority of new artists through events and social media, and when I think a collaboration makes sense I reach out, or others will reach out to me. We will see what happens soon! What can we expect to see next from you? I am hard at work on my next EP! So, that will be something to look forward to. I feel like I’ve grown so much as an artist already, and this next project shows that. I’ve really been able to expand my musical style and lyricism. I can’t wait to share it! In the meantime you should take the time to listen to the Hopeless Romantic EP. It’s available on all streaming platforms! instagram.com/pkyawesome twitter.com/PKYAwesome facebook.com/pkyawesome #BUZZMUSIC

From Montreal Canada, rapper King Midas drops his heavily textured album “M.I.D.A.S.”. After quitting rap at 19 due to money issues, King Midas found himself with nothing to do and reminiscing the time he spent writing. We’re grateful he started back up, as his album “M.I.D.A.S.” gives us something to think about. Giving us a warm welcome to the album, with the intro track “Beautiful Morning (prod. DJ Pain 1)”, explaining that he’s not a morning person but he’s got a team that makes mornings that much better. The underlying production serves an incredibly groovy and chilled atmosphere through harmonic and pitched background vocals and crashing cymbals. About three quarters the way in, the beat takes an exciting switch that leaves your head bopping. Opening “Out Of Towners feat. DC20 (prod. BOGER)” with calming brass and pianos into a New York City-style beat, King Midas begins rapping and telling us he’s hailing from Montreal the city of diversity. He takes a really truthful turn on this track by highlighting how the province of Quebec can spot out-of-towner’s from a mile away, and that the province soars in student loan debt. He touches on heavy topics of unemployment and homelessness, preaching to think before you act, and to make beneficial moves. Taking a hard-hitting turn with the next track, “The Battlefield (prod. DJ Pain 1)” starts off with samples from Nas and Jay-Z that easily shifts into King Midas’ flow. He continues on about not being satisfied with how the government systems across North America aren’t benefitting or impressing the majority of the continent. As he raps about tapping into his third eye, we can tell that letting himself be spiritual helps him rap on many different and truthful topics. “James Bond (prod. DJ Radiohead)” kicks off with the tick of a metronome and dropping into an old-school type beat, what we've noticed so far is King Midas’ approach to creating nostalgic beats yet amping them up with prime modern-day production aspects, all evening out the sound making it his own. He raps about his success and how after all his endeavors he’s still human and reminds himself to stay humble. With “Hail Mary feat. Snooksta (prod. DJ Radiohead)” opening up with a sample from David Ruffin’s “Don’t You Go Home”, we can feel how King Midas’ influences have shaped and impacted his broad sound from past to present. He lets us question our surroundings with this conceptual song, telling us to close the books and open up our eyes. He always taps into his spiritual side and doesn’t let adversity within society impact him. Moving into a brighter tone with “Changes feat. Michael Perry (prod. DJ Radiohead)”, the track opens with high pitched synths that move into a violin style beat. As King Midas raps about how he got involved with the wrong crowd at times, he preaches not to make the same mistakes as your past and move forward. Micheal Perry sings on this chorus is such a mesmerizing way, giving us another aspect of nostalgic R&B/soul vocals full of passion. Taking the mood back down to a relaxed and chill vibe, “Changes feat. Micheal Perry (prod. DJ Radiohead)” begins with subtle lo-fi piano moving into incredibly laid back production. King Midas kicks off his bars with truth and strength, speaking how he’s lost in a world of hate, greed, and lust. He’s sick and tired of the division between authorities and minorities while adding in snippets of a human rights speech that touches on the disgraceful three-fifths clause, we can really get a sense of King Midas’ role in activism. Following up and bringing a lo-fi retro feel is "Lost Pages Feat. DC20", opening up with a political statement overtop of a sweet soft piano, silky strings, and an equally lo-fi and polished drum kit that holds the groove down. DC20's delivery on the second verse beautifully contrasts King Midas' spoken-word-like verse one. The spark in optimism leads perfectly to a revolutionary speech recording that shows how much King Midas cares about being a leader for people. Bringing Michael Perry back again for “I Wish I Can Fly feat. Michael Perry (prod. The Artisans)”, the upbeat piano production moves into dreamy lyricism and also heavy lyrics of moving on from dark corners of the mind. Michael Perry brings clarity at the chorus, with his sweet-sounding vocals of getting out of a negative headspace. This track serves the harsh reality of how we live today and constantly striving for something better and more satisfying. A growing groovy piano beat meets our ears upon the 9th track “The Ville (prod. BOGER)”. King Midas brings forward childhood trauma and how rap has saved his life just like King Nas. The beat serves an incredibly introspective feel that doesn't step over his bars, yet emphasizes them to be the main attraction. He’s optimistic that things will change for the better, yet we can’t ever turn a blind eye to the struggles we endure day today. With the 10th song “Paid in Full: The Sequel (prod. BOGER)” opening up with a quote from Martin Scorsese’s “The Goodfellas”, we’ve got a full peek at King Midas’ cultured and well-rounded knowledge of classic film and music. This beat slowly grows wider from the piano into a deep running kick and snare. This track takes more of a storyline by surrounding it upon the story of Alpo Martinez and his work in Harlem. We move into a filtered 80’s R&B melody that crashes down into a Jay-Z/Nas type beat. “Ambition (prod. BOGER)”, King Midas explains that he’s always on a mission to bring classic rap back to its prime. He wants everyone to listen from any race, gender, or nationality. While moving on to “Piano (prod. BOGER)”, BOGER’s production brings in a jazz element towards the song, while King Midas’ says “singing the same old song”, of continuous racism and how we as a world have yet to conquer it which shouldn’t be this hard to do. As we continue onto track 13 “Trust No One (prod. BOGER)”, King Midas starts right off the bat telling us to trust nobody, and keep your wits about you with every endeavor. The dark atmosphere on the production brings forward King Midas’ message of earning someone's trust and independently providing for yourself. As we’re met with the next track “Black Knights (prod. BOGER)”, King Midas exudes power on this track of conquering the enemy and giving us a refreshing and empowering feeling. While slowly moving into “Theatrics (prod. BOGER)”, a darker tone is set through BOGER’s textured production and King Midas’ bars that remind us that he’s constantly working for what he wants, and upping his game to the next level. As we close off the album with the final track “Killuminati Pt. II feat. T.S. Mr. Northern Touch (prod. DJ Radiohead)”, we’re met with a blissful beat and haunting/filtered violin strings taking us back a century. King Midas touches on the heavy topic of the secret society we all question, while T.S. Mr. Northern Touch gives us his Andre 3000-like flow, he touches on the same topic that brings another stimulating aspect to the track. Ending off with jazzy saxophone, the “M.I.D.A.S.” album took us on quite the journey. From heavy topics to lights topics of pleasure and confidence, we can see why King Midas’ has such an extensive following. Make sure you take a listen to the conceptual project that is King Midas’ “M.I.D.A.S.”. Listen to "M.I.D.A.S." here. Hey King Midas, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re blown away by your songwriting skills with each track on your album “M.I.D.A.S.”. Is there any one message that you want listeners to take away from the project’s entirety? The one message I want listeners to take away from this album is to always stand your ground and no matter what happens in your life keep fighting the good fight cause that's how I look at life I look at it as a continuous war or battle that for the most part starts from the day you were born to the day you die. Life to me is the most challenging form of existence because there are so many hardships, struggles, and obstacles that god throws your way just to test you and your strength and faith in him. Speaking on your album “M.I.D.A.S.”, King Midas and a variety of producers shaped each song to have a Brooklyn-infused, nostalgic atmosphere to each beat. Is this the atmosphere you we’re striving for? Why did you want to bring a nostalgic aspect to almost all the tracks? Well for one I'm inspired mostly by the 90's style of hip hop so that is something that will always be near and dear to my heart. As far as what I was striving for. I was just experimenting with different sounds just to see what works best for me. It turned out that the futuristic sound is what I sounded the best over out of all the sounds I came across. As far as the nostalgia I'm inspired mostly by the 90's style of hip hop. I feel like I'm cut from the cloth of emcees like Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Big L, MF Doom, and the Wu-Tang clan. Within your album “M.I.D.A.S.”, King Midas raps on a variety of topics, and what grasped our attention we’re the darker and truthful topics. Is there any track, in particular, that’s message personally stood out like no other on your album “M.I.D.A.S.”? For me, it was lost pages with my homie DC20. Even though ambition is my favorite song on the whole album I think the message of the lost page stood out the most because of the theory behind the song and that theory is that human beings and society as a whole are lost. And what I mean by "lost" is that the majority of people in society today have not only fallen from god but they actually believe the lies that the media feeds them like fake news propaganda and blue pill sources like movies & TV shows instead of trying to seek truth by educating themselves more. Its almost as if they want or feel comfortable with being ignorant and it caused a lot of hate and confusion in the world of North America especially. We’ve heard that after quitting rap at 19 and finding yourself out of school, you decided to make a comeback to the industry. Has King Midas noticed any change after your hiatus? Do you approach writing the same or have a few things evolved since then? As a rapper I haven't changed much aside from the fact that I'm more serious about the craft then I was when I was in my late teens. I'm certain that this is what I want to do with my life long term and I have dedicated myself to this genre of music every day. What can we expect to see next from you? Aside from quarantine right now I'm just experimenting with different ideas for my next project but you should expect my video I did for tha ville which is about the hood I grew up in soon like around august or so. #BUZZMUSIC
