COLLEGEVILLE, PA - Lilérrehendrix knows what he wants. By blending genres, he creates a unique hip-hop style that positions him to be a rising artist in the industry. 

Born and raised near Philadelphia, PA, Lilérrehendrix’s youth was spent dealing with his parent’s divorce and the magnetic draw of street life. When life happened, and he was thrown into the street life, he quickly witnessed what a lifetime of hustling would be like. It was then that he knew he needed to leave that lifestyle. Music was his way out. 

“My inspiration for music started after I saw the movie ‘Straight Outta Compton.’ Music was a way to get out,” he said. 

LilérrehendriX has been producing music for more than six years. Starting in his momma’s basement under the name Piérre Hendrix, he spent countless hours crafting instrumentals to his ears’ liking.

As an independent artist, Lilérrehendrix is a singer/songwriter and producer specializing in hip hop and rap while showing extra love for the 808 style. “I’m inspired to write about whatever is exciting,” Lilérrehendrix said. “I just want to be happy all the time and show that in my songs.”

Written in 2021 inside his home studio, Lilérrehendrix’s latest album is titled “’Lérre,” contains nine hard-hitting songs.  Additionally, he released a deluxe version with 19 tracks that exceed one hour in length, which Lilérrehendrix noted could have easily been two to three hours. His love of music and passion for “’Lérre” is evident. 

“The original album (“’Lérre”) is about my introduction to me and who I am. The deluxe album is that plus ten,” he explained. 

“’Lérre” is filled with hip hop songs for the club, driving, and just chilling, but two pieces are a little more special to Lilérrehendrix.

The single “2TONE” is packed with an up-tempo vibe mixed with a wicked synthesizer pushing the song to a climax. “The song starts with women empowerment in a way, money struggles, drug addiction, and then it gets fierce before it calms,” he said. 

Utilizing Drake’s flow, “Casanova” is an emotionally upbeat song and personal to Lilérrehendrix, who left school to pursue music. “This one is a party banger. But you need to be safe out there. There’s going to be a lot of partying going on when this song is on,” he said. 

While Lilérrehendrix listens to many hip hop artists to learn from the best, he is currently inspired by Thouxanbanfauni and his song, “Ultra Violet.” Even though Lilérrehendrix is a newcomer to the hip hop game, his music shows musical and lyrical contention for being a rising artist. 

“I’m constantly working on new ideas, and right now, ‘Lérre’ is a really good piece,” he said. “It’s entertaining, and I hope everyone can enjoy it. Ultimately, I fantasize of a luxurious lifestyle in some of my music.”

MUSIC RECORDING ARTIST IAO CARLA STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT HER NEW SONG "SUN YESOD" AND MORE!

Rising artist IAO Carla aims to help people heal within with her music

IAO Carla has fire on her fingers, eternity in her eyes and ruins in her voice.

Born in Morocco with Egyptian, Jewish and Greek heritage, the artist’s unique blend of dream pop, tribal and enchanting music – with some techno vibes and trippy beats mixed in – is meant to help listeners heal their inner wounds and accept their darkness.

 

“I’ve always been very attracted to ancient teachings and to ancient temples and to everything ancient,” she says. “I started a spiritual development quite a long time ago during a very low period in my life and I saw how when we detach from the mind and the body then our true self emerges and this is what I am teaching through everything I do with my art and my creations.”

 

IAO Carla’s upcoming song “Sun Yesod” explores Jewish mysticism and the 10 points of entry in the human body, coupled with a pop-like feel. It’s slated for release April 21 with an accompanying music video. In the video, IAO Carla is sharing secret meditative techniques that mix all ancient wisdoms and teachings. She is sharing them with her movements and the drawings she received from nature. She said the audio/visual mix is truly healing and life-giving. 

“There is a sense of revolution to it,” she said. “It almost feels like I’m triggering some knowledge we have deep within us but aren't aware of.  I am referring to the fact that the planets and universe outside of earth is basically what is also happening and what is ruling inside of us as well. Very old teachings said those points of entry correlate to different planets, and the point of entry that is called Yesod basically means that our sun is like our foundation so this is a spiritual kind of music but it’s quite entertaining. It’s healing to the planet.”

 

She plans to release another song called “The Dark Melody” on May 13, which she describes as a “very succulent, poetic song.”

 

“It’s about the whole melody of life,” she says. “The hidden things I want to say in those lyrics is that when we listen to music we listen to the low and to the high frequencies and we enjoy both frequencies. Just like in life.”

 

The messages IAO Carla delivers in those songs, and her previous releases, is all part of her intention to offer people an experience of within. She wants people to dance with their shadows and transform them into light.

 

“I intend to have people realize that the dark is actually completely light and with no light no darkness can be,” she says. “I want to produce a very sweet and seductive sound at the same time as really hard beats that are taking us into a trance kind of state. I intend to have people travel inside spiritually with my music.”

 

Now based in Los Angeles, IAO Carla previously lived in a small village in the middle of a forest in Scotland and also studied mathematics for six years. She’s always been obsessed with sounds, even as simple as those produced by using her hands and feet on the floor. She was more interested in sounds than music, in fact, because every type of sound and noise tells a story.

 

She’s played the piano and guitar for 10 years but has only been making music formally for the last year, releasing her first tracks three months ago. But in that short time her songs are already resonating with thousands; “Come and Meet Me” has been played more than 60,000 times between Spotify and SoundCloud.

 

“All the feedback I’ve received is that it’s very different and it’s very emotional,” she says. “I am very expressive on that track but it’s very simple with piano and my voice only. It gets a lot of engagement with all ages, too. There are 70-year-old people listening to it and recognizing there is something particular in my voice and the word they say is that it’s very enchanting.”

 

IAO Carla has completed a total of seven singles that will be released this year, and she’ll drop her first album in September. Apart from music, she teaches at conferences and serves as a motivational strategist.

 

“What is important for me is to grow a community that is going to be able to heal through what I can bring them,” she says.

'TRAPBOY JT' TALKS NEW ALBUM "NEVER AGAIN/NO AUTO TRAP" AND MORE!

 

Trapboy JT delivers trap bangers and West Coast anthems on new album ‘Never Again / No AutoTrap’

TRAP BOY JT (22:51)

Download the MP3

By Brennan Stebbins

There was a time when music was just a hobby for Trapboy JT, with most of his time spent involved in “criminal activities,” as he describes it. Then came some clarity of mind.

“I saw the street life only ended three ways: jail, institutions and death,” he says. “So i figured might as well give this music a real shot before I end up dead or in jail.”

Now, with two years in the rearview mirror, the Southern California artist has reinvented himself as an up-and-coming rapper, producer and director and his new album Never Again / No AutoTrap showcases his mix of hype, uptempo trap bangers and smooth street rap anthems with a West Coast flair.

“You’re going to get a lot of head banging in the car and then a lot of slow head nodding and you’re going to get some laughs and some moments where you just want to be in a mosh pit,” Trapboy JT says. “It’s a completely unorthodox pairing of styles of music. It was supposed to be two different albums but I feel like that balance of energy and relaxation is like a musical rollercoaster. It’s like an audio Indy 500 where it slows down on the corners and then hits high speeds on the straightaways.”

The 14-track album opens with “Jesus Chris (Jack in the Box),” a song that features a “heavily blasphemous video of me dressed up like Jesus Christ, throwing up signs with my fingers and dancing out in front of a Jack in the Box.”

His Mercedes got a flat tire while shooting the video, an incident he said is probably more than coincidence.

Trapboy JT then brings some positivity with “Fendi Fact,” in which he raps “I’ve got a job and changed my life” but “I’m still gonna trap.”

“A lot of people are scared to talk about actually getting a job and manning up and being responsible but I’m still gonna trap of course,” he says.

There’s also “Shitty Nigga,” which he describes as a heavy West Coast banger with some funny undertones, and “Section 8,” which features ILLAH, a native of India.

“He moved over to America, grew up in the Fruit Town neighborhoods in Compton and me and this guy teamed up on a whole comedic adventure with this song, but at the same time it’s a very, very hard hitter,” he says.

Trapboy JT likes incorporating humor into his music, and says his sense of humor is what got him through several years in jail and several more on the streets. It’s also something contemporary hip hop is missing, he says.

“That element of laughter and fun it used to have in the 90’s,” he says.

Never Again / No AutoTrap is also his first album that refrains from using autotune, and was meant as a tribute to the West Coast.

“I have to get something out there for the West Coast culture,” he says. “I might have to come back and dip my fingers in a West Coast style again and a more hype style. I am a fan of autotune because it enables me to express the emotion I want to put into my music, but I feel like the game might be a little oversaturated with autotune right now and it might be time for some rappers who are just having fun and delivering quick punch lines and sick word play.”

"LEAF IN A FOREST' STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT HIS ALBUM 'GALLERIA' AND MUCH MORE!

Leaf in a Forest’s debut AltPop album inspired by famous works of art

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

LEAF IN A FORREST (33:49)

Download the MP3

The name for Josh Falling’s new band, Leaf in a Forest, wasn’t chosen on a whim.

Falling’s father grew up on a Cherokee reservation, and for generations the family’s traditional last name was Falling Leaves. The band name is a tribute to that history.

And the debut album from Leaf in a Forest was also inspired by the past, but in a different way. Titled Galleria, the 14-track album is a nod to art throughout history. Each song was inspired by a different piece of art, and all but two of them borrow their titles from famous works, like Starry Night (Van Gogh), The Old Guitarist (Picasso) and Waiting in Vain (Banksy).

“I find it easier to write if I have something more specific to write about,” Falling says. “I found the paintings I wanted to write about that gave me emotions or stories based on looking at those. In the lyric book on my website (www.leafinaforest.com), my friend made paintings based on the songs based on other paintings and we used them for the background of the lyrics.”

Most of the songs were written a few years ago, when Falling was playing in a band called Rain and Leaves. But when the pandemic hit and live music came to a halt, Falling decided to record everything again from scratch, settling into his small home studio for six hours a day. He changed the vibe of the music quite a bit, transitioning from something with more techno and electronic elements into something more natural and organic with strings and horns.

A natural guitarist, Falling didn’t use that instrument once on the album. Instead, most of the music is based on the ukulele, which helps set it apart.

“I would still call it AltPop, which it was before, but the difference is I went for a more organic sound,” Falling says. “Before it was very synth-based with drums that were almost like dubstep. Now the drums are more traditional, almost like pop punk, and instead of synth its strings and horns and saxophones, flutes, clarinets. Most of my music has some poppy upbeat tones but it’s more alternative and I felt this was a more natural sound for the music.”

Falling drew inspiration from bands like Twenty One Pilots, AJR and Panic! at the Disco.

Only two of the songs aren’t named after famous works of art. The first song is called “101” as in Art 101, an introductory class. And the album’s final track is “Self Portrait,” which is more of an introspective look.

The album’s third track is “The Old Guitarist,” titled after Picasso’s painting of a hunched-over guitarist. The lyrics were inspired by someone who has spent their whole life as a musician but never got anywhere.

“Like a lot of musicians, going through life and thinking of what could have happened,” Falling says. “Despite being a sadder song it has a more upbeat feel and I like that duality. A sadder song with lyrics to have an upbeat feel so it’s not too depressing.”

The fourth track is another nod to Picasso. Called “Girl with a Mandolin,” it’s Falling’s favorite on the album with a distinct shift in feel as it switches into the bridge, with cinematic-sounding strings accompanying the ukulele.

Then there’s “Starry Night,” a reference to the famous Van Gogh painting. Falling wanted the bridge to feel like the biggest part of the whole album – big and sweeping.

“Like you’re looking at that Starry Night and it’s exploding and feels really loud and energetic,” he says.

RETRO2000 STOPS BY THE SHOW AND TALKS NEW DEBUT SINGLE "TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF" AND MORE !

Atlanta’s Finest, Retro2000 storms the Hip Hop scene with Debut Single “Till the Wheels Fall Off”

RETRO2000 (36:14)

ATLANTA - The hip-hop scene grows daily with new artists. There are pretenders, and then there are industry contenders like Retro2000. 

The dynamic, by blood trio blends old and new school hip hop to create a new and refreshing sound. From the witty wordplay to its melodic flow, “Till the Wheels Fall Off” is poised to explode once released. 

“We’ve created our own lane, refusing fit into the industry, we call it, “Thug Inspirational,” said trio member MaDukes. “By using both the old-school hip-hop messaging and the present Savage culture of Hip Hop, we hope to relate to both generations, old and new school.”

Making that connection, Retro2000 includes MaDukes, Krypto, and Ice. Each member brings a unique quality that contributes to creating Retro2000 magic. 

MaDukes takes the reins as the creative force and conceptional founder, highlighting meaningful lyrics from the past, hence the name “Retro.” At the same time, Krypto and Ice encapsulate the 2000 era of new hip-hop. Krypto focuses on lyrically savage lyrics, but Ice has thug-like vibes and tendencies when rapping, hence the name “2000”. Together Retro2000 successfully fuses hip hop of yesteryear with today’s hottest styles. 

“When hip hop began, it was about each one, teach one, lifting each other up. Back then, there was a balance between destructive and constructive rhymes, a blend, and variety in our music. Without those blends and varieties, we wouldn’t Savagery today,” explained MaDukes. “So, in our music, we try to focus on finding balance, focus on what we feel and relate to, and those who can relate, hopefully, they’ll embrace us.”

Retro2000 does not just rap about sex and drugs to maintain their style but also reflects on the collateral damage that drugs and sex might propel into your life. “We want to be inclusive, yet unfiltered, speak to people as human beings experiencing this life through different mirrors, or even maybe, helping you see the world through our lenses,” she said, “But ultimately, our purpose is to uplift our culture.”

The trio’s debut single, “Till the Wheels Fall Off,” is an articulate anthem that the world needs. Originally written a few years ago by MaDukes, the song is pertinent to life and encourages pushing forward through trying times.

“‘Till the Wheels Fall Off’ is my fight song, a reminder to myself to never stop trying, never stop dreaming, no matter how many times I mess up or make the wrong decision. As the song says, LIVE YOUR LIFE!”  MaDukes explained. “It’s an anthem for all my warriors in the battle on these streets, those working from nine to five and can’t make the ends meet, the real struggle.”

The single drops on all streaming platforms on March 25 and promises to inspire every listener. With the cartoon-like graphics of Retro2000, there is a hint of nostalgia in the single’s artwork. “Till the Wheels Fall Off” was produced by MaDukes and mixed by Grammy-award-winning engineer extraordinaire, Master Engineer himself, Mike Wilson.

Using the hashtag #r2kATL, Retro2000 will make history, as this unheard of, unique, by blood relation is ready to take the world by storm.  

“Life can be unfair and trying sometimes,” said MaDukes. “But I hope our song makes people believe that they are warriors, no matter how hard the road gets, hold on, keep riding - “Till the Wheels Fall Off.”

Make sure to stay connected to Retro2000 on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

ROCK RECORDING ARTSTS "FOLLOW NO ONE" STOPS BY AND TALKS ABOUT THEIR MUCH ANTICPATED NEW ALBUM 'FATE' AND MUCH MORE!

Award-Winning Rock Duo Follow No One Breaks Industry Norms with “Fate,” a Cinematic Rock Album

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

FOLLOW NO ONE (39:44)

Download the MP3

DENVER - Industry insiders describe it as a cross between Queensryche and Styx with a hard rock core; Follow No One brings back the classic and hard rock sounds that defined an era while adding their unique twist on the genre. 

Named as Best Rock Act in 2019 at the Nashville-based JMA Awards, the next step for Follow No One is the Grammys. After listening to their industry-rocking latest project, it is clear the duo needs to make room on the award’s mantle for more hardware. 

Follow No One is comprised of two industry leaders, Pedro Murino Almeida and Rich Hall. A Portuguese native, Almeida is a classically trained composer and guitar virtuoso who works in film and video and found success in his musical acts. Lead singer Hall is an American-born singer/songwriter who made his mark in the theater at a young age and discovered his powerfully melodic vocals match perfectly with rock. 

Together, Follow No One is changing today’s rock industry with their sound void of 90s grunge and screaming vocals. Instead, they incorporate the most significant elements of rock’s past and present into an exciting brand of rock music that spans generations. 

Follow No One is paving their own lane as their name states, evident in their upcoming album, “Fate.” Written, performed, and produced by the duo, “Fate” is a heavy rock album that transitions into melodic rock and concludes with an epic finale.  While many artists release albums, “Fate” is a 17-track industry game-changer. 

As a cinematic hard rock concept album, “Fate” takes listeners on the true-life story of Hall. As a husband, father, Army war veteran, and corporate executive, he went from a man who appeared to have it all. Suddenly, he lost it all. From Hall’s deathbed to reclaiming his life, “Fate” chronicles his journey.

While “Fate,” the album is scheduled to drop on all streaming platforms on May 13. Each track is stylistically and tempo-driven, employing different techniques to give the album its unique feel. The plot flows as the music adds drama and emphasis to each lyric from track to track. Ensuring that listeners comprehend the story, Follow No One adds audio scenes and flashbacks to envelop listeners into the storyline.  

Currently, Follow No One is giving fans a little taste of “Fate” in its preview video streaming on YouTube. Like a movie trailer, the video is a must-see, in-your-face teaser. 

Dropping on April 8, the self-titled single “Fate” is a rhetorical song that prompts fans to reflect on their lives. Relating to listeners like only he can, Hall poses the question: Was it fate all along or something we created? We didn’t end up together, but was it because it was fate, or did we just screw things up.”

Hall adds that fans can join their mailing list for the inside scoop on happenings and music releases with more surprises on the way before the album releases. A quick visit to the group’s website provides insider information and the signup details. 

Follow No One is not a rock throwback group. They incorporate the greatest elements of rock n roll’s past and present into an authentic new brand of rock that blends jaw-dropping guitar work and distinct vocal stylings. 

Make sure to stay connected to Follow No One on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.
