HIP HOP RECORDING ARTIST "LYRICAL CHRIS" STOPS IN AND TALKS ABOUT HIS NEW SONG 'LEVEL 5' AND MUCH MORE!

Lyrical Chris Shares the Uplifting Vibes of “Level 5” in New Single from Debut Album "Prewrite"

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

Written by: Taylor Berry

Lyrical Chris, the creator of the groundbreaking 5D Rap genre, has just released "Level 5," a track brimming with positivity and high vibrations. The song introduces listeners to a mental and emotional state of being designed to empower and uplift.

When asked about the inspiration for “Level 5,” Lyrical Chris explained, "The idea for the five... it came from my new genre, 5D Rap. It's about being in the fifth dimension, a space of peace and good vibes, where you affirm to yourself that 'I'm never tired. I'm loving the times.' I wanted to create a song that connects people to that heavenly feeling right here on Earth. It’s a song for everyone, no matter who you are, that helps you connect to a higher frequency.”

As the track flows, the themes of self-affirmation and joy shine brightly. Lyrical Chris draws listeners into a world where positive energy reigns, offering a universal invitation to rise above negativity and embrace peace and happiness. He shared, "If you surround yourself with good things, good people, and positive situations, you can elevate to that 'Level 5.' It’s a choice. You choose to be around things that keep you in a higher vibration."

But what does it take to reach "Level 5"? According to Lyrical Chris, it starts with intentional choices. "It’s all about what you surround yourself with—what you drink, who you hang with, what you consume. You have to choose to be on that level of pride. Choose happiness. Choose joy. And when you’re around things that elevate you, you’ll naturally attract more of the same."

Lyrical Chris doesn’t just aim to entertain with his music—he wants to spark change. He continued, "I want people to feel empowered when they listen to 'Level 5.' It’s about bringing joy and positivity into your life and making the choice to stay on that higher level. It’s a shift in mindset."

"Level 5" is a standout single on Lyrical Chris’s debut album, Prewrite, which promises to take listeners on a journey through his unique musical vision. The album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a blueprint for his larger creative goal. "Prewrite is the start of a bigger picture," he explained. "I want to be the first music artist to create a musical essay. Each album will be a paragraph, and each song will be a sentence that builds upon the larger message. ‘Prewrite’ is the introduction to that essay, setting the stage for everything to come.”

The journey to crafting 5D Rap, a genre that combines high-vibrational, non-materialistic, and positive messages, has been deeply personal for Lyrical Chris. Growing up in Unionville, Georgia, he faced a community that often associated rap with negativity. "I wanted to change that narrative," he said. "I wanted to create something that was clean, positive, and empowering. I’ve blended fun and deep messages together in a way that anyone can enjoy, no matter their background or beliefs."

For Lyrical Chris, his mission is clear: "I want to give people music that uplifts them and helps them escape the negativity that surrounds us. If you want to make it out of tough situations, you have to set a better example. It’s not just about you anymore—it’s about paving the way for future generations."

The journey from Unionville to creating 5D Rap was a long one, filled with moments of self-discovery. Lyrical Chris reflected, “I’ve been passionate about music since I was eight years old. I spent years freestyling and coming up with many songs, never recording. But when the time was right, I followed my intuition and started recording. That was the turning point.”

For those looking to break free from tough circumstances and create a better life, Lyrical Chris had this message: "It’s about making the right choices and setting an example for the generations that come after you. When you make those choices, you can elevate and inspire others."

"Level 5" is more than just a song—it’s an invitation to rise, to choose joy, and to reach a higher state of mind. With this track, Lyrical Chris proves that the power of positivity and self-affirmation can help everyone get to "Level 5."

RECORDING ARTIST 'FLOW $ROW' STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT HIS NEW SONG "STEPPIN" AND MUCH MORE!

Flow $tro drops “Steppin,” a hip-hop ballad in praise of a woman

By Kurt Beyers

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

Flow $tro’s tracks usually have something to talk about, and the subject of his newest song, “Steppin,” featuring Skooly from Rich Kidz, is about the beauty of a woman.

“It’s basically about a female, like I liked the way a female dresses, or like the way she carries herself, the way she puts her clothes on, wearing heels, or switching up out of the heels — steppin’ like that.”

The beat in “Steppin” is slow and dreamy, the melody soft, the vibe like a ballad, even where the lyrics get explicit.

Girl you like this liquor got me on you bad

You know how good you look but you never brag

She ain’t got no make up on

Baby girl don’t need a mask

$tro listened to Skooly’s music when he was first starting out.

“So, he kind of played an influence on how I make music, and I ended up getting a feature for him on the record.”

The video comes out in a couple of weeks.

“Get that. Download it. Share it,” said $tro. “The video’s hard. For real.”

$tro began seriously putting out music in 2021, when he dropped a single and a 13-track album. He began experimenting with music while his main interest was still basketball by recording himself on his grandfather’s computer.

Then he turned to poetry in high school, writing only for himself. The first album he put out began with his lyrics, reflecting his poetic roots, hence the name, $troetry.

Now, though, he is “more into the music.” He likes to listen to the beat, find the melody, then come up with the lyrics. 

“Sometimes I freestyle, sometimes I jot stuff down and come back to it.”

A lot of his music, about 70 tracks now, counting “Steppin” and including four albums, talks about subjects, sometimes indicated in titles like “Patience,” “Clockin,” “Clue,” “Remember.” “Pic,” from an album he put out early in 2024, Conflicted, is a hip-hop ode to his brother.

But sometimes, he says, “It’s really just a feeling.”

“Sometimes it’d be the beat. Sometimes it gives me a vibe to where I might just say anything, not to where it’s not making sense, but to where I don’t have to have specific subject matter. But then I might hear a beat to where I want to talk about it on this beat.”

And it goes from there.

“I might say a bar and then stay on subject with what I was talking about. When I come up with the hook, then I get to the verse, and I just make my verse about whatever I put on the hook.”

He wants to be one of the biggest artists, though he says he doesn’t have to be, or want to be, “the biggest face.”

“But I want to make an impact on music, whether it’s just writing, writing for a big artist, or it’s one of my songs or me as an artist being big. I just want to make it on music.”

The impact is on music and his life and his family, an impact he can pass on to the next generation. Music is his career.

“I’m not just putting out music to put it out. I like doing music, don’t get me wrong, but I’m also doing it to change my family life and to make a difference.”

“Steppin,” he agrees, is a feel-good track, a track praising women and how they make a man feel. “We don’t have a lot of music out there where we’re praising a female.”

BOB MARLEY GUITARIST AL ANDERSON STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT HIS CONCERT ON SUGARSHACK YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND MUCH MORE!

An Unplugged Experience with The Original Wailers featuring Al Anderson on the Sugarshack Music Channel

By Kurt Beyers

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

Guitarist Al Anderson has recorded and toured with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and also performed with Bunny Wailer.

“That’s what makes us different from the tribute bands and imitators,” said Al.

Al and band performed an eight-song, Unplugged Concert for the Sugarshack Music Channel on YouTube - the improvisational acoustic version of the songs from legendary catalog, including newly recorded material from The Original Wailers feat. Al Anderson.

The band’s rendition of Bob Marley and The Wailers “Redemption Song,” is the first video to be released from the concert on the Sugarshack Music Channel.

“There is something special about “Redemption Song,’” Al said.

The version performed by The Original Wailers is more than seven minutes, beginning with almost a minute of solo guitar intro played by Al.

Then Chet Samuel’s powerful voice shines through the performance and the band’s five instruments lovingly render the music in their own unique way: Al Anderson, lead guitar and vocals; Chet Samuel, lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Omar Lopez, bass and vocals; Paapa Nyarkoh, drums; and Ras Klamps, keyboards and vocals.

The Original Wailers surprise the audience with the second song of the concert, that is a compilation of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”, Peter Tosh’s “Legalize It” and Bunny Wailer’s “Rootsman Skanking”.

“It’s three iconic figures that we are saluting on that segment,” said Anderson.

The concert includes two original compositions from The Original Wailers featuring Al Anderson. Those are “Song of the Divine” written by Al and Chet Samuel and “Empress Omega” written by Chet Samuel, the third and fourth songs in the set. “Song of the Divine” is on the concert video and also has its own official music video, shot in Bali.

The plan is to release one song a week, then release the video of the entire concert in April.

Al Anderson is mostly known as a lead guitarist for Bob Marley and the Wailers from 1973 to 1976 and again from 1978 to1981. His guitar solos and performances have been called some of the most memorable in reggae history. With Wayne Perkins, Al was one of the first to bring blues and rock guitar to Jamaican music that had a profound influence on reggae music around the world. Al Anderson recorded and toured with many artists throughout the years, including Carlos Santana and Lauryn Hill.

He formed The Original Wailers in 2006, inspired by the music of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The Original Wailers plays its own original compositions and music from the legendary creators of reggae.

The band’s debut album, Miracle, was nominated for Best Reggae Album in the 2012 Grammy Awards.

Al says that Bob’s last words to him were, “Be yourself, don’t copy me,” and that is the band’s goal — honor, but don’t imitate.

At the moment The Original Wailers are recording their new EP “Mirror Of Heaven”. Two singles “Song Of The Divine” and “Si To Me Lo Das” are available for streaming.

SEASON 27 "THE VOICE" SINGING SENSATION IRIS HERERRA STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT HER AMAZING BLIND AUDITION AND MORE!

 IRIS HERRERA STOPPED BY THE SHOW AND TALKED ABOUT HER BLIND AUDITION ON THIS SEASON (27) OF "THE VOICE" WHICH AIRED LAST WEEK ON NBC.

                                                       LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW

                                            

They say that if you get knocked down in life, get up, brush yourself off, and try again. This is exactly what Iris Herrera did. Last season on "The Voice" she didn't get the result that she was hoping for when no chairs turned for her for her blind audition. She didn't let that deter her, so she went back home and she worked really hard, using the advice and tips that the judges gave to her.

Here comes season 27, and Iris is back. This time she came prepared, and like a well oiled machine she hit the ground running and stuck the landing. Iris sang "You Are My Sunshine" a classic song, but she slowed down the tempo and using the advice of the coached from last season, she made the song her own, which turned out to be a powerful and extremely impressive performance. 

This time she got 3 out of the 4 coaches to turn for her! John Legend, a legend in his own rights told her that her performance should have been a 4 chair turn. Adam Levine was the only coach who didn't turn. He later said that the reason he didn't turn was because he saw Kelsea Ballerini turn and figured at that point, he didn't have a shot at getting picked. 

Iris joined The Brad Cooney Podcast Show and talked about her experience. Have a listen and enjoy.

SINGER SONGWRITER 'LEAH DIBUT' STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT HER SMASH NEW SINGLE "THANK YOU" AND MORE!

 

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

[MIAMI, FLA.] Announcement

South Florida-based singer-songwriter Leah Dibut begins 2025 with a powerful new chapter in her career, releasing her latest single, “Thank You.” Blending her signature mix of pop and R&B with raw emotion and storytelling, Dibut’s new track delivers an empowering message of resilience and self-love.

“‘Thank You’ came from a very personal place,” Leah shared. “I went through a moment in my life where I felt impacted by someone in a way that shook me, and I knew I needed to write this song for myself. That purpose really comes through in the lyrics.”

Leah Dibut’s voice, known for its velvety tone and soulful delivery, brings a dynamic range of emotions to “Thank You.” Reflecting on the creative process, she said, “One of my favorite elements of the song is how it feels. From the subtle storytelling of the first verse to how the intensity builds as the song progresses, it’s an elevation of emotion that I love.”

Creating the single wasn’t without its challenges. Leah worked closely with a trusted collaborator who understood her vision. “Finding the right words was tough,” she admitted. “You have so many feelings running through you, and it’s hard to put them into words. But having someone who’s been through similar experiences helped bring everything together.”

The music video for “Thank You” is a visual representation of Leah’s evolution as an artist. Working with her mother to conceptualize the visuals, Leah embraced a darker, edgier aesthetic. “We wanted to capture something different, something I hadn’t done before,” she explained. “It was about bringing out the edginess inside of me, and that’s reflected in everything—from the colors to the roaring ’20s-inspired hairstyle.”

Although Leah is rebranding as an independent artist after signing with Mr305 Records in 2023, her commitment to authenticity remains unwavering. She credits her time with the label for teaching her how to balance artistry with personal life, lessons she now applies to her independent career. “I learned so much during that time—about myself, being in the studio, and balancing being an artist with being a normal person. That was a major highlight in my career.”

When asked what she hopes listeners take from the single, Leah emphasized the importance of vulnerability and self-expression. “I want people to know that I’m just as human as they are. I get frustrated, I don’t always get along with people, and that’s okay. My message is that it’s cool to say whatever’s on your mind and to feel those emotions—that’s what makes us human.”

As she continues to evolve as an artist, Leah’s focus remains on building a strong connection with her audience. “I want to be their voice,” she said passionately. “Whatever they’re going through, I want them to know I’m here for them. I want a strong relationship with my listeners because we’re all in this together.”

Leah Dibut’s “Thank You” is more than just a song—it’s a declaration of empowerment and a reminder of the power of resilience. Available now on all major streaming platforms, Thank You marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Leah’s journey.

SINGER / SONGWRITER "ECHASL" TALKS ABOUT HER NEW SINGLE ' I KNOW U KNOW ' AND HER UPCOMING ALBUM "LITTLE BLACK SHEEP" AND MORE!

East meets West in musical beauty in ECHASL and her debut song, “I Know U Know”

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

By Kurt Beyers

“I Know U Know” is a wonderful listening experience simply for the rich, beautiful, agile voice of ECHASL, a young woman from China, and the music. 

The track is at once a debut for her, a tease for the album, Little Black Sheep, and an intro to her wonderfully exotic mix of musical cultures and instruments.

“I Know U Know” is also a protest song.

“It’s against all types of discrimination, like sexism and racism. It’s based on a real historical story,” she said. The story is about the first Chinese woman recorded as having landed in the United states.

“But she was tricked, and she was sold to a circus in the United States, and, just like all the other animals, she was a show there. People would pay 10 cents for a ticket to see this yellow-skinned girl. This is the story that inspired me to write this song.”

ECHASL lists her genre — as much as it can be categorized in a genre — as alternative pop, but it is much more than that. “I Know U Know” is a good example.

The song begins with a gu qin (goo-CHIN), an ancient Chinese stringed instrument, leading into Western double bass and a drum beat straight out of pop.

From there, the music flows into melodies that mix Chinese and Western culture in a way that defies characterization except as a delight to the ears. It has pop, electronic and alternative.

And then there is ECHASL’s wide-ranging voice and the vocal acrobatics she performs. Only eight songs from the 11 that will be on the full album have been released so far in the United States, but on those eight she takes her voice from a low contralto to a soaring soprano, and that’s just for starters.

She can put a growl into it, turn into a sexy, sultry R&B, or power it into a solid rock vibe. She can make is hard and she can make it playful, soft and whispery or soulful.

You get the feeling that if she wanted to sing country, she could take it to Oklahoma.

The music, her unique fusion of cultures and genres, is on display in a wide variety of styles and sounds in the eight tracks released so far.

Lyrically, “I Know U Know” renders the thoughts and emotions of a young Chinese girl sold into a circus in ECHASL’s poetic phrasing and imagery.

Her sense of drama is on full display in the video, which also fuses cultures in the settings and costumes.

“The song is about racism, so, I want to wear my culture, and combine it with the Western culture, just saying that no matter what skin color we are, what we are wearing, how we’re looking, we’re one.”

The title, “I Know U Know,” comes out of this sensibility.

“The title means I know you guys all know that we are all the same,” she said.

She is majoring in songwriting and musical theater performance at the Berklee College of Music. Now in her last semester, she was delayed in both school and music career by the COVID pandemic. She first came to the United States for school at age 13.

She began her career as an artist three years ago and started releasing her music in 2024. Her artist name, pronounced e-CHAY-sle, is an acronym for Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining. She writes her lyrics and guides her producer into the sounds she wants.

“I Know U Know” is a good example here, too.

“I really love making impossible things work,” she said, talking about how a double bass ended up next to a gu qin in a Chinese melody.

“I told my producer I want these two together. I think there’s gonna be chemistry, and he said, ‘No. Nobody does that. Nobody has ever done that before. What are you thinking?’ But see? It works.”

And it does. Beautifully. Intriguingly.

On another song, “Butterfly on Fire,” she wanted bagpipes. She told her producer that.

“I tell him I have to have the sound on the song, and then he just played around with it and made it work.”

With “U Know,” she is beginning to promote herself in the global music marketplace. She loves making music and loves performing, which is obvious in the videos and in her music.

“Some of my songs,” she said, “can be pretty dramatic.”

Of her protest, she says, “I don’t expect it to change the world, but at least I do something. As an artist, music is what I can do, and it’s the only thing I can do. So, I’m using my language to say something and stand up and speak up for some people who have been silent.”

This song was the first she released, in January 2024, but she wrote it in the middle of the process of creating her album.

“When I finished the song, I thought, ‘Okay, this is what I want to do, mixing Western and Eastern culture together.’ I feel like this song represents me.”

Whether you have to travel east or west to meet get into the midst of her fusion, the trip is worth it.
