New Music Alert: Rich Rick – “All Eyes on Me” Ft Ty Dolla $ign and iShowOff
Recently Crenshaw bred rapper Rich Rick released a compilation called Everything Major, from his label Major Artist Music Group
After getting his first record deal offer from Jimmy Iovine and after securing production work with TUG/Universal, Rich Rick was framed and served prison time when he was falsely accused of stealing $350,000 of Mariah Carey’s jewelry. Despite serving time for a crime he allegedly did not commit, Rich Rick vows to prove his innocence hoping to someday exonerate his record of any charges.
Despite the circumstances, Rich Rick has battled through it all and most recently went four times platinum for his work on Lil Wayne’s song “How to Love.” Now he’s back with a fresh batch of music hoping to shed light on his true ability to A&R, produce, rap and manage a label.
“Major Artist Music Group is the focus, it’s a company that I started independently after leaving my situation with Chris Stokes.” Rich Rick explained. “While I was going through legal things and learning the business of contracts, I ended up developing my own label Major Artist Music Group so I can start putting out the music that represents what I believe in. Now since all the legal stuff is done, I’m ready to focus on the music and get back in the studio recording with Detail, iShowOff and other acts on my label.”
“I just want everyone to know that we came from these Crenshaw streets and we had bigger dreams to come up out of it, but we still not forgetting where we from. We had to rise above it. Kind of like how Nipsey reps Crenshaw. Me and my brother had a similar dream. We want to show people that we will represent and that there is a hope to get out the hood where violence is so prevalent,” he added.
Leading into the Fall Major Artist Music Group will be focused on iShowOff’s yet to titled album as he is the first artist on the label who will be releasing a solo project.

New Music Alert: Flow Frazier – “Loaded”
Flow Frazier, formerly known as Caspa Narkz, is back from his hiatus with “Loaded.” After having a run back in 2011 under independent label Black House Records, and working with the likes of Troy Ave, Smoke DZA, and Big K.R.I.T., Flow took a break after the CEO of the label died of an overdose. “Loaded” is a gut punching, soulful reminder to stay on your grind. Flow Frazier recently said, “I remember someone told me, all you need in life to be successful is an idea and a team to pursue it with, so here I am.” Watch the video for “Loaded” below.
YG Takes Some Serious Shots at Tekashi 69 in New Video “Bulletproof”
YG released the album “Stay Dangerous” last month, and it was definitely a banger. It featured one of the hottest tracks of the summer “Big Bank,” as well as quite a few others.
“Bulletproof” was among the list of fire tracks, and the artist has finally released a video for it. Needless to say, he took this precious time to address the ongoing beef he has with Tekashi 69. If you’re unaware of what going on between the two here’s a play by play. YG said “F*** 69” on Twitter, then proceeded to say he meant what he said on the Breakfast Club. Tekashi, being the king of the internet trolls, of course too time out his day to respond. He told YG to “suck his d***” and accused “Big Bank” of flopping compared to “FEFE.” YG came back with some serious pedophile rhetoric, referring to his open case. Then there was radio silence until now.

YG spent the whole first minute of his video depicting Tekashi 69 in prison, getting the real deal. You can hear the word “pedophile” ringing out in the background. He even places the picture above on the screen before beginning the song. So there’s no room to guess who he’s talking about.
Things look like they’re starting to heat up again. 69 hasn’t responded but I doubt the king of trolling is going to let this one slide.

Will Michael B. Jordan Be The Next Superman?

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, no it’s a plane, nah bruh, it’s just actor Michael B. Jordan in talks to play the first black Superman for DC comics. The Black Panther star recently met with executives of DC comics and Warner Pictures to discuss the possibility of him taking on the role as the man of steel on planet earth.
The opportunity presented itself for the actor after former Superman star Henry Cavill decided he didn’t want to continue to play the role of the man of steel after he was denied an opportunity to appear in another DC movie Shazam due to scheduling conflicts. If in fact Jordan is picked to play the popular role, it would be the first time a black man has played such an important comic book character. Additionally with the success of Michael B. Jordan’s other roles, he would certainly be a box office draw.
The only thing that would prevent him from playing the role would be kryptonite.

9th Annual #ONEMusicfest Brings Over 40,000 People Out Over 2-Day Event

Coverage by: Dennis Byron and Inaee Aidoo
The Southeast’s largest annual urban progressive music festival came to an end on Sept. 9. This year’s festival boasted big names like 2 Chainz, T.I., Nas, Miguel, and so many more. With a diverse range of musical selections ranging from hip-hop to alternative, ONE Musicfest is one of the most highly anticipated events in the area.
With a total of over 40,000 attendees over the course of the weekend, the event was a huge success, to say the least. Not only was there live performances, by Atlanta natives and global artists alike, they even had lounges, cocktail tastings, arts & crafts, food trucks, and a vendor market.
The festival has come to an end this year, but follow @Onemusicfest or check out their website here for information on next year’s event.
Here’s a recap of some of the performances.
H.E.R.

After a few minutes of technical difficulties, and a sincere apology, r&b’s It girl hit the stage with her song “Say It Again”. Dressed in a red, white, and blue tracksuit, and her signature shades. H.E.R. has been on the scene for a while but for many people in the crowd that may have been the first time they’ve seen her face. In a time where looks are playing a heavier role in the industry than talent, H.E.R. reminds us what’s really important.
Her soulful voice and affinity for multiple instruments makes her a refreshing sight for eyes and ears. Her vocals got the chance to show off during “Best Part,” her duo with Daniel Cesear, one of the few artists shes collaborated with during her up and coming career. Things got hype during her set when she performed her song “2.” And she showcased one of her many talents during her rendition of Foy Vance’s “Make It Rain.”
Overall, despite the tardiness, the set was excellent.
Big Sean
Big Sean knows how to get people on their feet and this was evident in his performance. Big Sean has some Atlanta roots, and he paid homage to them by shouting out his late grandmother who “repped Atlanta hard.” He also took the time to tribute Mac Miller, who passed away from a drug overdose just a day before the festivities.
It wasn’t long before he got energetic. Sounding off hits like “Big Bank”, “Blessed”, and “Clique”, really made the performance noteworthy. He did do quite a bit of talking during his set, but it was all motivational. Touching on the Nike ordeal with Colin Kaepernick and following your own dreams. He wouldn’t be Big Sean if you didn’t make sure he touched the hearts of his audience.
St. Beauty

Atlanta natives, St. Beauty, hit the stage and had just as much fun as the crowd. Though they performed to a smaller audience early in the day, no doubt they’ll be back for bigger and better things. Their set included syncronized choreo to “Caught”, and a collaborative effort with rapper Deonte Hitchcock for “Waves.” At the end, they tributed “Lucid Dreams” to Mac Miller, Aretha Franklin, and other artists who’ve recently passed.
2 Chainz

Nas

Nas brought the fire to the stage with his performance. Kicking it off with the one-two punch of “Not for Radio” and “The World is Yours.” Nas is reminiscent of older hip hop. He reminded us of this with “N.Y. State of Mind” which featured on his 1994 album “Illmatic.” Coming up with the likes of Jay-Z and Ice Cube, his rap is of a different caliber. But with hits like “Cops Shot The Kid” he lets us know he still has more to say.
