Black Mozart conveys heartfelt messages designed to motivate and these should not be ignored




Real Talk (The Metaphor Messiah) was born in Chicago but now resides in Las Vegas, 

 His heart and soul makes him believe that he was born for Hip Hop so without further ado I'll begin by presenting Black Mozart, which is his first official album and his music has been described as motivational hip hop.

 I was hard pressed to choose a favourite track as the following all stood out for me.

 The album begins with a motivational narrative which transitions into the smooth melody and slick verses offered by the title track - Black Mozart.

 Notice Me showcases Real Talk's ability to drop bars like a pro.

 One Verse sees Real Talk use his lyrical skills to convey a powerful message.

 Best In The World serves up emotional lyrics alongside a cinematic theme sampled from the silver screen courtesy of Pirates of the Caribbean and the track concludes with a motivational message.

 Missing Light is musically smooth thanks to the sounds of the flute.

 Dream Big's arrangement is inspired by samples that have an 80s flavour to them and to me this is what makes the song special.

 The way Real Talk arranges his lyrics alongside symphonies of yesteryear in The Composer is simply exquisite.

 The album conveys heartfelt messages designed to motivate and these should not be ignored and these are surrounded by killer rhymes, nostalgic references and catchy melodies.

Sea To Sky sees Austen Ledley entertain us with four beautiful melodies



Sea To Sky sees Austen Ledley entertain us with four beautiful melodies.

 Come Along With Me is a elegant number thanks to Austen's smooth vocals and the bluesy / country vibes conveyed through upbeat instrumentals.

 Meant To Be is a mostly haunting tune due to Austen's lyrics and the choice of instruments but the arrangement towards the end of the song has an air of positivity to it.

 Little White Fences is the ideal song for those of us who yearn for the adventures offered by the open road.

 Sunlight concludes the EP with an uplifting and motivational melody, thanks to the instrumental arrangement and the backing choir.

K-Flicka's hip hop rhymes entertain at multiple levels and appeal to a broader hip hop audience




https://soundcloud.com/k-flicka/

K-Flicka's hip hop rhymes entertain at multiple levels with smooth vocals, slick rhymes and multi layered verses that appeal to a broader hip hop audience and whilst I couldn't choose a favourite track from the five songs covered, I assure you they will entertain hip hop aficionados so sit back, chill out and enjoy them: Running, Mile Hill Muzik, Flicka's Theme, Faded and I.D.G.F.

Dana Avant Jr aka K-Flicka was born and raised in Chicago and his love for rap began from an early age after he had listened to Pop Goes The Weasel by 3rd Bass.

He was then introduced to other music genres by his parents and older sister, these included Rock, Jazz and RnB.

At 11 he took rap more seriously and this led to him and his friends forming The Uptown Shorties and the catchy punchlines he delivered during freestyle battles made Dana realise he had potential.

His friend William Adrian Harris introduced him to Richman Entertainment, which led to the duo forming Creativ Grind and together they released an album and also featured on several mixtapes including No Struggle No Progress Volumes 1 and 2.

Dana took time out from rap due to personal reasons but is now back as a solo artist and drawing on influences both on the musical variety in the form of Jay-Z, DMX, 2Pac and Notorious Big and also on a more personal influence from his mum has led to him continuing to develope his musical talent.

 In addition to that the album serves up beautiful vocals and slick verses courtesy of some very talented musical artists such as Spoek Mathambo, Ku Bo, Bulldozer and Tony Amado.

 The musical tone ranges from upbeat to urban inspired beats for those who like their music with more of a gritty feel to it and the influence of African music on the lyrical and melodic content of the tracks helps create something that has a fresh feel to it.

Sean lived in Istanbul for over a decade and this resulted in the Istanbul Trilogy, which consists of Lit Rock (2012), Twelve Internet Classics (2013) and Pseudohallucinations (2014).

His music is a blend of mellow, acoustic and heavy rock with smooth guitar chords thrown in for good measure, the lyrics - some of which have a sociopolitical angle to them at times are bought to life by Sean's impressive vocal range.

Laura Jean's modern etheralism adds a new dimension to old school rock and roll



Laura Jean Anderson was born in Olympia, Washington and now resides in Los Angeles, artistically she is unique in the sense that she is traditional whilst also conveying a sense of modern etheralism and it is this which adds a new dimension to old school rock and roll.

May 2015 saw Laura Jean unveil her debut single Righteous Girl, which delivers raw sounding instrumentals and this is a real treat to the ears and when combined with her haunting vocals treats us to a mesmerizing melody.

Take Me In has a more upbeat feel to it as Laura Jean has opted for more of a Bluesy/Country sound for the B Side of her debut single.

What a well crafted debut single from this talented Singer-Songwriter/Musician.
