Navigating her way through this tough industry with focus and a steady grind, Charlotte, North Carolina’s very own, Tiny T has proven she is more than meets the eye. Through dope lyricism and a naturally talent for expressing her reality vividly, Tiny knows what her purpose is and demands respect solely because of the level of talent she possesses and her willingness to explore the many realm of artistic expression. Though the journey has not been an easy one, she uses the setbacks and successes equally in fueling her grind and ambition, as she sets out to not only break down old barriers but to also break records.
A lack of resources or having an A-list network did not deter the self-motivated artist, from Charlotte, NC, when she first decided to pursue her music career and turn her dream into a reality. If anyone knows the peaks and valleys of the entertainment grind its Tiny T. Going from countless studios, performing on numerous stages, and not only rubbing shoulders with some of Hip-Hop’s hottest stars but actually enjoying success alongside them, Tiny has seen the many sides of the pursuit. Early on in her career, the connection with a fellow Charlottean placed Tiny in a position to have a supportive team behind her for the first time, which turned out to be a challenge and a blessing at the same time.
After a short stint with her new partner and team, each party decided to mutually part ways but still maintained a supportive relationship, which would bode well for Tiny, by turning into another opportunity, that lead to her signing to her first label and touring the US, while promoting her new music. Although being on the road was gaining her great exposure and fans, the creation of her debut album was suffering and a tough decision had to be made. After leaving the tour and heading back home to work around the clock on her new records, all the pieces started coming together and the lead single, “Money Problems,” was born. The record deals with those who experience the changes that loads of money and fame brings to not only them but those around them.
The fortune just kept coming, when local clothing company, UNFair Apparel, caught one of Tiny’s performances, which subsequently prompted a meeting between the two, that lead to a mutual partnership, since both brands saw one another’s vision and were on the same frequency. Shortly after the merger, Tiny announced the release of her “So Unfair” mixtape, which showcased her as one of the most dynamic and versatile emcees to hit the Hip-Hop scene, in years. The project features artists and producers such as: Snootie Wild, Ricky Ruckus, YoungMercyBeats, Slim Hood, Yung Ice, Lil Dope and Vega Baby, just to name a few. Immediately after the official mixtape release, Tiny T started planning a new promotional tour throughout the US.
“So Unfair” is a testament to Tiny’s strong songwriting abilities and her lyrical brashness when she’s on the mic. Tiny does not consider herself just another average female emcee on the come-up, she’s also a boss, on so many levels. Tiny’s unmatched hustle and focus makes her a solidified songwriter, musician, and entrepreneur.
Tiny will also be hosting several release parties along the East Coast for “So Unfair,” which will feature nights full of music, dancing, and excitement for all of her fans and supporters to enjoy. Tiny works very hard on her craft and is ready to not only show the world what she does but to also let it be known that she can go up against anyone in the rap game today, no matter the gender.
Tiny would like all of her fans to know the level of appreciation she has for them and how much she respects their support. “So Unfair” is Tiny’s first mixtape release of 2015, although earlier this year she dropped the single “Money Problems,” which took off in the clubs and became an immediate underground hit. Other breakthrough tracks include “My City,” “Trap Bitches,” “Run up a Check,” and a stellar collaboration with CMG signed artist Snootie Wild called, “Money Bandit.” Tiny T, a/k/a Da Boss Lady, will continue to release envelope-pushing music and captivating images for all to enjoy.

Coming to us by way of Washington D.C. is Rap artist Fortune Hustler with his newest video titled "No Love". The song is featured o his current mixtape "A Hustler's Hustle" which is available for downloading via Datpiff. In the video, Fortune uses the serpent as symbolism to portray people's "snake like" tendencies.
Here's what Da Hustler said when asked about the video:
"No Love" shows that snakes lie all around us in different shapes and forms. Enticing us, watching us and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But as the video shows no matter if the snakes are all around you (at your feet, at your throat, at your wants and desires), you must always remain calm and in control. Do not let the circumstances of your environment dictate your actions. Instead, let your actions dictate the circumstances of your environment.

French-Canadian recording artist Chaz DeFranco premieres his latest release in his #songsunday series with the deeply emotional "Me Engañarás" ("You'll Deceive Me"). The Montreal serenader opens up to speak harsh truths about a past relationship he experienced during his trips to Mexico years back with a woman that didn’t have his best interests at hand. This song follows suit with his previously released single "Torreón" that spoke about his feelings for one-time girlfriend and Mrs. Mexico finalist, Angela Del Río.
On this particular release however, we find Chaz finding solitude and bringing closure to these particular chapters of his life thru music. DeFranco chooses to use his acquired Spanish dialect for the chorus line meshing R&B with a South American Pop flare that’s highly addictive, a sure hit among the ladies. With excellently executed vocal arrangements and a perfectly produced R&B instrumental, Chaz DeFranco bears all on his latest, "Me Engañarás".
Montréal recording artist Yo Natan is back on the scene with a follow up to his highly praised Hip Hop single "Green Clouds" and in doing so, he takes on a more international approach with "Afraid".

However, the Jewish emcee takes the process one step further by meshing a melodic chorus over a very powerful instrumental provided by YucBeats. Although the song has a strong Pop vibe, Yo Natan tackles trying issues such as being scared of the unknown and personal doubts. This is yet another solid release from the Canadian resident. Press play and experience "Afraid".

You already know the track can be the X-factor and the difference between a hit and a brick. So if you take your craft seriously, you must get production from proven producers (not beatmaker hobbyist) and develop your individual sound instead of grabbing random beats online trying to fit a feeling to a beat that was never intended for it. And we won't even get into the legal situations one can get involved in or plainly having the producer request that you take the song down. We work to bring all the artist that visit our site, a platform to experience independent producers that they can connect, collaborate and grow with. This approach allows the artist to find the right producers, no matter where at in the world, to build their "signature sound."
