There’s nothing new under the sun. Especially the one beaming across the state of Florida, shining vibrantly on Miramar’s own, Tone C. In a gilded gush of autotune and rap, the Panama-born emcee takes us back a decade with his latest, radio-friendly release, “LIGHTS OUT” (feat. Israel Taylor). 

 

This track is a bubbly, torrid fusion of pop, hip-hop and R&B; reminiscent of the aesthetic that dominated much of our radio earlier in the century. The Toya Beats production is buzzing with melodious synths, backed by grandiose, 808 drum loops; sonics which all mesh to create the perfect club-rocking concoction. Tone C gives nothing short of a stellar performance. He flexes his penchant for song-writing and story-telling; flirting lyrically with a girl unknown. His solid delivery, matched with the addictive auto-tuned hooks of his feature, Israel Taylor, create a powerhouse of a record; dripping with every ounce of warmth and magnificence that attracts the lot of us to the Sunshine State. If the nature of radio records, as of late, has been suffocating, “LIGHTS OUT” is a nostalgic breath of fresh air.

“Can You Do The Serena” 


A divine, inextinguishable beauty has always coursed through the Caribbean. The magic of its weather, scenery, and culture captivates not only its natives, but millions of tourists each and every year. What draws us to Haitian rapper, OMBRAGE, is not solely the fact he was born in the islands; but his impeccable ability to take that very, aforementioned Caribbean magic and create matchless music. One of the greatest examples of this talent is his most recent release, “Can You Do The Serena”, and it is brimming with tropical flavor. This record features the Achaie-born, Brooklyn-based rapper flowing across a lushly fruity instrumental; intent on delivering a bouncy, danceable smash. The spirit of Haiti is embraced in more ways than one, through the artist’s lyricism. As much as he braves his accent, and enlivens the beachy production, he also shifts between languages; coasting into a smooth Spanish rap in homage to the island’s thick Latin culture, among others. “Can You Do The Serena” is the perfect, island -esque jam; fitting for your next Caribbean fiesta. For a change, instead of millions traveling to the islands, OMBRAGE is bringing the islands to millions.

It was once said that stars are born and not made. It has also been said that they are born everyday, so it wouldnt surprise me if a little favor has been shown to the home of the Hollywood Stars. One listen to L.A.'s own, Hollywood Mac and you can tell he was born to be a star. Mac, who recieved his nickname in high school is dropping his debut solo single "Hundo." The L.A. emcee hops on the speaker quaking, infectious head banger effortlessly spitting bars of gold, all while keeping the club moving. 


Hollywood Mac ironically spent years running a club before stepping to the mic and exercising his natural gift. Mac is the son of two musicians(father is a drummer, mother is a singer), it was inevitable that he would one day make dope music of his own. Keep an wye out for what Hollywood Mac has in store and while you wait, play "Hundo" that many times. Enjoy “Get Away” and join Hollywood Mac's growing movement today!

A song coming from an artiste that has had the “next to death” experience. Artist SlickMick details his journey from being “ok” to lying in a hospital bed not knowing what is really going on whether in his head or anywhere around him. This is basically a testimonial of closing out an experience in Cambodia and heading to Thailand where his world change in the blink of an eye. He could remember stepping from a bus and as he made his way to crossing the street, it all went blank when he was hit by a car and ended up in rehab where his life was now a matter of recovery or out.


Through his song, you could literally hear his passion for living and his strong courage and determination to fight his way through to full recovery. This song portrays his bravery and can definitely be a form of peace and motivation for those going through a struggle and trying to keep going. Though it may be a sad experience, his strength over-powers that and makes him a tower of strength for many in the music industry and those listening. It goes to show life experiences don’t determine your destiny but pushing through and using those said experiences as a stepping stone for greater heights. A true inspiration of fighting through physical, psychological and emotional weakness!
