Swae Lee got more than he bargained for at his show in Dallas when he got hit in the face with a fan’s phone. There seems to be a new trend going around where fans throw their phones on stage in hopes of the artist using it for a selfie. This was the case at his show on the 26. Only the fan seemed to be a little overzealous with their throw, getting Swae right face, busting his lip.

Video surfaced on Twitter of Swae Lee getting pretty heated on stage. Even going so far as to call the fan out their name and threatening to sue. Slim Jxmmi, the other half of Rae Sremmurd, tried to calm the rapper, but that seemed to only ignite more rage. He screamed for the cameras to zoom in on his bloody face. The pair walked off and took some time to calm down before returning to the stage to finish their set.

Swae confirmed later that night he got stitches, and some “finding Neeemo bandages” and that the tour will continue. The next day he tweeted that he won’t be suing the fan, despite his rant on stage suggesting otherwise. He noted that he’ll be more careful in shows to come.

Recently multi talented instrumentalist and R&B singer Evan Michael Green aka EMG released the audio for his song, “New Identity”.

Beyond the lyrics that address his naysayers and doubters while he was risking it all living homeless, the track speaks to EMG’s musical journey after he abandoned his blue collar corporate life out East trading it in for dreams of musical success out West in L.A – even if it meant being homeless for a few months.

“I wanted this so bad that I lived in my car from September 2016 to March 2017 when I was in Boston. I drove Uber 10 hours a day for 6 months so that I could start my label and so that I had time to do what I could do,” Evan said. “It wasn’t just because I was broke, it was because I saw it as an opportunity for me to get out to LA. Depression is a real thing and when I was working at the bank I was unhappy. I would rather die trying to pursue my musical dreams than die slowly at that bank withering away.”

But EMG’s musical journey is not some short-lived day dream. Evan started off at an early age composing music by the age of 5 and it was determined that he had a rare gift known as “relative pitch,” the ability to identify or re-create a given musical note by comparing it to what he was hearing. From there EMG began learning music on a host of instruments from the piano to the bass guitar to the sax as he mastered the ability to use his musical gifts.

After high school EMG pursued a degree at the Berklee College of Music playing the sax, though it took time for Evan to find his way to singing R&B music. It actually wasn’t until the age of 20 that EMG began to really sing and write music lyrics as heard on the song, “Nice Voice.”

“Nice voice was kind of an ironic song because I went from playing jazzy really complex music to playing a 3-chord song in C-Major on guitar while singing,” EMG said. “But the song was like an autobiography in some respects. I did door to door sales for 10 months and had to change my voice to get sales and sound professional. But I did that in real life too in different situations, so it was just kind of a song that asks people to look deeper than the voice and superficial aspects of people’s physical appearance because they are not always what you think, the character in the song has some real dark sides to him.”

With the success of his album, All The Things That I Am last year, EMG has been gearing up for the release of all new music culminating with his song “New Identity.”

“New Identity’ is a sarcastic song in the beginning because I’m using cliches about acting brand new and during the chorus I tell the people who were sleeping on me that I have triumphed through it all. With where I’m at now I don’t need the encouragement and props. I got 5 iPhones and I’m with my team pursuing my career on the West Coast living my life,” EMG said.

“With this current record now, my artistry is leaning towards storytelling. I like to take my experiences and put them in another character’s shoes and then I think about how my life experience translates to telling this story. I take a lot of pride in creating music and sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes I take 6 months in between songs but I’m getting quicker with the pen and really connecting with the fans with various stories.”

Coupled with the release of new music, EMG is continuing to release vlogs and behind the scenes footage via his YouTube page. This Fall he is also planning contests for fans as he gears up for a tour.

Cali rapper TJ Uchiee drops his new visual to the song“Satisfaction” which has just started to pick up locally.

Smoked out with various lighing and with his Wise Maneuvers Ent. crew behind him, TJ Uchiee is set to garner wider attention on blogs, Spotify and amongst local DJ’s with a close ear to the streets.

“I was listening to a lot of West Coast artists and trap artists coming up and I got a mixture of both of them and I got a little bit of my own style. All these new wave artists are biting on whatever they can, but I got my own wave now and eventually they will be biting off me.”

It was just a short time ago that TJ Uchiee linked up with Wise Maneuvers Ent. a label that also houses R&B singer Trev Hunte as the two continue to push their music out across the West Coast and beyond.

“My homie showed his family my music and they was with it. I’m an artist and an owner with Wise Maneuvers so we got the LLC for the label. With the two artists on the label we have two different flavors on the label. A singer in Trev Hunte and a rapper in my music as TJ Uchiee,” TJ explained. ” I met Trev through Olu and we just clicked,

Pursuing his dreams as a 19 year old with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, TJ understands that music is a business after taking advice from his friends.

Kicking things off TJ is pushing his newest track “Satisfaction,” which TJ says the song was just coming to him as he heard the beat.

“I’m just focused on building the fan base with the new record and getting the fans familiar with my music.  This is a brotherhood, we are a label, we are a team and we’re making Wise Maneuvers. We’re making smart moves through the industry and the business of music, thats why the logo to our label is a steering wheel from a car.  We are in our own lane and we are taking the wheel and making the right choices as we move.”
