 A new year, a new flow. With 2022 kicking off, people are at the beginning stages of doing the necessary work needed to achieve their goals. For JuvieRay, the steps to success couldn’t be clearer. His hard work and dedication made JuvieRay stand out and build connections with some of the best in the industry. Looking to build on the success of 2021 which was a great year for JuvieRay not to mention his breakout single “Back From Me”, JuvieRay showed he could create a radio hit. He also showed that he wasn’t afraid to jump on anyone’s track, most notably Drake and Rick Ross’s “Lemon Pepper Freestyle“ that included a visual to go along with the bars. This just leaves one question. What’s up for JuvieRay in 2022? That’s what we’re here to find out in our latest interview with the artist they call JuvieRay.. 1. Why the name JuvieRay? My name is JuvieRay because the word “Juvie” is basically a young nuisance and that’s all I ever been and also my real name “Jiray” is in the name JuvieRay. 2. What got you into music? The lifestyle and environment I lived in growing up forced me into music, ever since I was a kid music has always been a focal point in my life most of my memories come from music. So my instinct is what got me into music. 3. How would you describe your music? What song would you recommend to someone who's never listened to your music before? I would describe my music as pain music but there is no specific category that you can put my content in, at the end of the day it is international music. I would recommend someone too listen too my single “Back From Me” and “CHANGE” and you would see what I mean. 4. What inspires you as an artist? Taking care of my family and having a humongous fan base. 5. What's next for JuvieRay? What’s next for me is a lot of work being put in and out. Ground breaking & game changing materials! Thanks again to JuvieRay for taking time out of his day to speak with us. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what JuvieRay has in store. Look out for his new single “Change” that will be dropping on all music streaming platforms January 28th along with a video that will be dropping right before Valentine's Day on February 11th.

In the words of Kendrick Lamar “2021 I ain’t taking no prisoners”. This was one of the craziest years just following a hell of a 2020. Les-be-honest! But one good thing that did come out of 2021 was some dope ass music which included Fire In Little Africa, a newcomer by the name of OTS J Huncho, and some old veterans still holding down for the city. So when I got the call about doing a 2021 Rap-Up. I had to jump at the opportunity. On the OK.One network with host Buddy Rodriguez and guests Jarry Manna from IndyPot, Meezo Mitchell from 20ondatown Podcast, and of course Tulsa Lines. Listen up and see just how dope 2021 was for Oklahoma music.

So tonite say a toast and jam some Oklahoma music.  When it comes to Kanye there is no doubt that his legacy will live as one of the greatest artists ever. When it comes to producers he’s Top 5. When it comes to impact on the culture there’s no doubt he’s Top 5. Let’s be honest here. Kanye West inspired Drake’s style after he dropped his album “808 & Heartbreak”. This one album was a pivotal turning point in hip hop music that helped birth a new style and subgenre of hip hop. The album also created a clear divide in hip hop between the old generation of hip hop that was all about bars and hard-hitting bass. As compared to the new generation that uses auto-tune and is more melodies and the. Before this album hip hop was a boxing sport. And there’s no crying in hip hop. 808 & Heartbreak changed this. Now it was OK to express your feelings instead of holding up the facade that you’re OK. You gonna get these emotions in these raps which the hip hop purists wanted no part of, and Kanye was the one who took most of the slack for it. That’s until a Toronto-born rapper by the name of Drake broke onto the scene with his new mixtape called “So Far Gone”. So Far Gone was so far left and different from any mixtape that it can be considered his first album. The album was filled with melodic singing, auto-tune, emotional turns and twists, and also bars. These are all the things that Kanye was was being crucified for when he dropped his album 808 & Heartbreak. But when the Toronto rapper did it. It seemed to be more well-received. Maybe this was the start of the love-hate relationship/boxing match that has occurred through the years and would start a rap beef between two of hip hop's greatest to ever do it. But let’s not get into the beef. There are plenty of blogs that have covered the Kanye West vs. Drake Beef. Here’s one if you need it. (Drake & Kanye West's Relationship Timeline Prior to Concert (highsnobiety.com). Instead, let’s get to the concert. On November 8th the internet went crazy as Kanye West and J. Prince posted a video to Instagram with Kanye West calling for the Drake & Ye beef to come to an end, and most importantly. A concert. Not just any concert. Thee concert! A concert that featured only Ye and Drake. Nobody thought this would happen. Including Drake. In a sense, Ye had forced his hand by; 1. Having one of his mentors and father figures J. Price endorse Ye’s message about needing to squash the beef and even perform together. 2. The concert was a benefit concert for one of the most polarizing figures in the culture, Larry Hoover. How could he say no without losing his Certified Lover Boy title? In my eyes, Drake had no choice and reluctantly agreed to the concert. So, the date was set, and it was finally real. On December 9th the concert of a lifetime would be happening.  Flash forward to December 9th. Ye and Drake spottings had been pretty much radio silent on both social media accounts. But when walking to the stadium it was apparent that this was actually happening. The sold-out LA Coliseum was the host for what would be bigger than any USC game that would be played there. Additionally, the number of people there could easily overwhelm the small ratio of staff there. When looking back the most disappointing thing about the concert was that there was no actual merch from either artist. The only thing present for sale were Free Larry Hover sweaters and hoodies. This was obviously a missed opportunity on both artists’ parts to get a bag. But let’s just say for the benefit’s sake they wanted to keep it about Larry Hoover. But was it really about Larry Hoover? The concert started with Ye and Drake walking down the coliseum steps while a choir sang. But there was not one mention of Larry Hoover. I wasn’t expecting a telethon or CashApp donation call to action. But at the same time there was no mention of Larry Hoover, no speaker that came out, no speeches, even the performer’s Drake and Ye barely even mentioned his name or the cause. The cause seemed to be about the concert more than any actionable steps to get Larry Hoover free. This was the Kanye and Drake show! So that leads to just how good was the show? The show was amazing. There were surprisingly no opening acts. Just the two legends. Kanye performed first. He performed around the whole stage and gave people wanted they wanted. Old Kanye hits. From “All Falls Down” to “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”. Kanye performed the songs of his older material with 2 or 3 songs from his post-Yeezus catalog. Kanye was definitely giving the people a show. The most viral being the performance of “Find Your Love” by Drake that appeared on Drake’s album “Thank Me Later” which was actually produced by Kanye. Everyone felt Kanye’s heartfelt plea to his wife Kim Kardashian West to come back. It was 808 & Heartbreak reminiscent. Now that leads us to our last performer. Drakeeeee!!!!! Let’s remember that Drake was kind of forced to perform. And it showed in his performance. He didn’t have that bounce that you usually see. Also, his song selection told a lot about how he felt about performing. This isn’t Drake featuring Drake. Drake did perform Kanye’s single “24” of his album Donda which he performed way better than Kanye could’ve. But to see Drake in his element and in his bag would've been a high. There were some stand out songs he did perform such as "No Friends In The Industry" and "God's Plan". He even shouted to the crowd to help him sing 21 Savage's part on "Knife Talk". The magic of the whole concert was seeing both Kanye and Drake go back and forth on stage. Kanye performing “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and seeing Drake hype him up. Then seeing Drake perform “God’s Plan” and seeing Kanye right there singing word for word. It was only right that they both end the night with their song “Forever” that appeared on Lebron James soundtrack More Than A Game. For what was more than just a concert. This was Ye and Drake on the same stage. Something that may never happen again. As both artists embraced and rode off into their respective security transports, I couldn't help but think. This was a special night. One you had to be there to believe or had to stream to believe if you have Amazon Prime. But I only say this because it ain't telling when the beef will start again. It also ain't no telling if the concert actually will help get Larry Hoover free. But in the meantime, here’s a video recap of some of the best performances of the night.  It's that time of the year. You know? The holidays. Everyone is ready for the turkey and hams and don't forget the dressing. Stores across America have already started putting out their Christmas items in anticipation for the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! And of course the Mariah Carrey song "All I Want for Christmas Is You". The video on YouTube has over 180 million views. Cha-ching! But you know what this time of year is really all about.... Gifts! With birthdays, holidays like Fathers Day or Mother's Day, Easter, etc, etc, already gone and past. For many, Christmas is the last opportunity to get a present. Amazon Wishlists are getting filled, Santa's across the world are getting ready to hear kids' wishes and the millions of gifts that are to be put under the tree. But one gift that may not be as easy to give is CRYPTO! But the easiest gift you're more likely to receive is a Prepaid Gift Card. Don't fear the CRYPTO SANTA Is here!  Recently I had a birthday come up and one of the gifts that I knew would come is the famous gift card. To me gift cards have never been a present because they lacked imagination and thought. They are usually shoved in a greeting card and depending on how much they are, might not cover the cost of the real gift you really wanted. In my case it was CRYPTO… The gift that keeps giving. Ask the person who accepted BitCoins for a pizza in 2012. Don’t ask the guy who paid multiple BitCoins for 1 pizza. So how can I turn what I don’t want into something I do want? Ask a friend. Ask a friend I did. In this case I asked a community. The Facebook (Meta) group by the name of the Tulsa BitCoin Meetup. Believe me. These guys are 100x more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to the BitCoin and Crypto space. They can spit out words like Satoshi’s, Decentralized, BTFD, Rekt, and a whole slew of words and crypto slang that goes hand and hand with Bitcoin Maximalists. So why not go to a community of smart BitCoin enthusiasts with a simple question. How do I use a Prepaid Gift Card to buy crypto? I logged into Facebook. I started to type and then retype my question. Making sure that my question didn’t sound like a BitCoin Wanksta speaking to the enthusiast. I wanted to let them know I was down with the culture. You gotta be able to walk the walk and talk the talk. Or at least try. And try I did. As I hit send I refreshed and refreshed the page 10 times. Minute 3, I got a like. Minute 8 I finally got an answer to my question.  I had questions. They had answers. Paxful. The name alone raised a few alarms. Paxful sounds too much like Taxful. Which sounds like taxes are involved. And anyone that’s in the crypto space knows we have this fear of the government coming in and trying to push us around and tell us what to do. So I had to question it. I had to ask a question to the almighty GOOOGLE. They say be careful what you ask for. Because you just might get the answer you seek. In this case it was the answer I searched. Is Paxful a scam? And my results let me know that I wasn’t the only one whose asked this question before. . About 533,000 results (0.67 seconds). And reading some of the comments in Quora and 99bitcoins made me think that maybe I should hold off on giving my birthday money away. Maybe there was another way. A way I was using already so that I wouldn’t have to create another account and have to remember another password. That answer was PayPal. After a quick Google search I realized that PayPal does take PrePaid gift cards as a payment type. Yay. I already have it. So this should be a piece of cake right? In the words of the late Charlie Murphy. Wrong! I had to somehow confirm that a small authorized charge was on this PrePaid card that I had no personal connection to. But the hope isn’t gone yet. Here’s What I did to get my Prepaid Gift Card linked to my PayPal account.  FINALLY when in PayPal go to the 'Settings'. Then go to 'Payments'. In the Automatic payments' section click the 'Manage automatic payments' button. Click the any merchant that you plan to use the PrePaid Gift Card (ex. 'Coinbase Inc.' tab). In the Payment method section select the pencil icon to change the method to the PrePaid Gift Card.
Wola! And there you have it. A Prepaid Gift Card successfully linked to your PayPal account. Now you can buy BitCoin straight from PayPal. Or you can use PayPal as a payment option on another site and use the Prepaid Gift Card as the payment method at checkout on other exchanges like CoinBase. Another problem solved and another Christmas miracle! Thanks for reading! If you want to learn how to earn $10 of crypto just by signing up for CoinBase or PayPal send me a message! And happy holidays to all. And to all a merry Crypto Christmas! 
Introductions are everything. You only get to introduce yourself to the world one time. For an artist your first introduction is your art. For Auri her introduction to the world will be with her debut single “Loves Me Like You”. Auri is an R&B vocalist from Tulsa, Oklahoma who puts not only her talent into her music but also her life. That’s just what “Loves Me Like You” is, a life experience that is expressed through melodic undertones of love and passion in lines like, "I hope he loves me like you.". Which would seem like the female version of the Future text meme that famously ends with Future saying he cares about her and to tell her momma you said hi. It her smooth melodic voice that draws you in and her vocal range that keeps you listening. 
Hibachi!!!! Not the grill but the greeting used by Tulsa artist Shyheim Nwadiei. The self-proclaimed “Shy Guy From The Northside” burst onto the scene with the release of his first project “Shy Guy: The Midwest Masquerade”. But if you listened to any of his music than you know that when he raps, he’s anything but shy. He’s got bars. He’s got a crazy delivery. And a flow that is sure to have you tongue-tied when trying to recite his lyrics. There’s no doubting his gift. And it’s these same characteristics that helped him land a spot on of the The Fire In Little Africa project, the most influential albums to ever come out of Tulsa. A project that featured over 60 artists was a space where Shyheim was able to shine and show why he was picked for this once in a lifetime project. The Fire In Little Africa project isn’t the only thing that Shyheim accomplished this year because the whole time he was working on his own project. Something that would further push him to his calling. An album, “Calls of the North Wind”. An album we will deep dive into. But first let’s understand just what the word Hibachi means.  What does it take to be known in Oklahoma? Is it a fly car? Is it million-dollar music videos? Maybe the girls? Naw it has to be the money right? Wrong! All these things are the rewards from the hard work and sacrifice that an artist has to go through to get to the top. JuvieRay is an artist that has put in the hard work, has sacrificed, and has put everything into his music, including his new single “Back From Me”. 
When it comes to being unique there are few artists as unique as the artist Devon $.U.A.V.E. The Tulsa artist first came onto our radar with his single "". From first listen you could tell there was something different about him. The way he rapped was off beat but at the same time it was on beat. Whenever you thought his verses were going one way, they would always veer off into a totally unexpected direction. There is something different about this artist but at the same time there is something familiar in his mannerisms and delivery that remind you of a player from the 70s and sharing his game in his lyrics. So keep it cool and sit back and get to know the artists named Devon $.U.A.V.E. by ASHLEY JONES  10 things that went over your head from Fire in Little Africa’s Reparations Music Video By Ashley “Medley” “Tina Token” Jones |
