Maya Angelo once said "If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love." These words still hold true to this day. A smile has the power to change a persons day that might've been going thru it. So why not give a smile to the people you love the most? Billy J. Bruner shows that a smile can mean the world to the one that is your world with his latest video "Smile".

Billy J. Bruner is an incredible singer and songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma whose gift for music is a blessing to the world and just as importantly his church. His ability to move people also led him to accepting his calling as a vessel of The Word, becoming Pastor to the RESTORATION CHRISTIAN CENTER (a ministry tailored by God). His love of music has given him the opportunities to travel the world, yet he has always stayed grounded in his Faith. It was his Faith that helped him start his own record label Bruner Bros. Music Group which has released various genres of music such as Gospel, R&B, and Hip-Hop. And again his Faith was there on January 1, 2011 when he suffered a massive attack that almost ended his life. Throughout the whole process of recovering both physically and spiritually, his Faith was with him every step of the way. And even now with his return to recording, his Faith continues to be with him with the release of his latest record "Smile".

The track "Smile" is a smooth jam that will have you steppin' in the name of love. The title of the track perfectly fits the feel. It's a feel good track. Plain and simple. But the vocal performance by Billy J. Bruner is anything but plain, as he shows an impressive vocal range of notes. He can sang. Especially if you listen at 3:27 where he truly shows off his ability to hit some high notes that can only be described as "sent from the angels."

The weather in Oklahoma is unpredictable to say the least. It's literally snowed, rained, and then went to a sunny 90 degrees all at the same time. It's no wonder why Oklahoma has one of the best schools for meteorology. DJ Wallie Mayne is one weatherman that has been spot on with his 4 Cast (Morning) mixtape series. His first forecast predicted one of the hottest tracks of the series "On Now" by Zoolu Tha Captain.

Taking a quick look at the the track it's an easy evaluation. It's a scorcher. Not only is the song catchy but it has that feel good vibe. Almost to that point that if Zoolu Tha Captain cussed you out on the track you couldn't even get mad. It's too catchy. Zoolu Tha Captain shows true vocal range as there are parts in the song where his voice tone heightens the lyrics and creates a more vivid picture for the listener. But I can go on and on about this track or I can let you heard for yourself.

Sometimes speaking something into fruition is all you need for it to actually happen. Not to say that you don't have to also put in the work. But that's what doesn't get televised anyway. AveryDamnDay and Domo are two artists that speaking their future into fruition. So it would only be right that their new single be called "Im Up Next".

Im Up Next appears on AveryDamnDay and Domo's joint project called "Days and Nights" (click here). The beat has a familiar recipe that is usually associated with street sound, but when that 808 comes in. Gawd. The song takes on a whole different energy. It's that explanation point at the end of a sentence! Like a Pusha T ad-lib "Yugh".

Just like the cover of their album both artists bring different elements to this track. AveryDamnDay starts out rapping the chorus which explains why the song is called "Im Up Next". From there AveryDamnDay goes into his verse where he's able to find his pocket as well as talk his talk. Domo is the other artist featured on the record. On the track he explains how he has held his city down and most importantly why he is UP NEXT!

​With the 3rd Annual World Culture Music Festival coming up I thought it would be a great idea to get to know some of the artist that are set to perform. Especially with 50+ acts scheduled. First up is Heezy Made Yungin who has recently released a video called "Bounce Out With That".

 
With 2 successful hip-hop music festivals, a critically acclaimed album, sold out music documentary screening, and the lists goes on. Steph Simon has continuously done what has never been done before. One would think is there any more "Upside" left for him to achieve. But for Steph Simon what he's already accomplished doesn't even compare to what he has planned for next. It's with this attitude that Steph Simon drops his latest video "Upside".

​
​“Why do you rap and love hip hop?” “I just feel like me when I am rapping,” he said. It was during an interview with Whip Key Media that Deezy explained why he got in to hip hop(Interview here). After reading the article you get a feel for “why” or rather “who” Deezy is. And it’s this same narrative about his love for hip hop and why he loves it so much that can be heard throughout his music. As a an artist his successes have been his, and just so his failures have been his as well. But through it all he has kept swinging fences. And It’s with his latest single “Rollin’” that Deezy is taking his next at bat in hopes of delivering a home run hit.

Nobody answers restricted calls. That's because rarely are they from people you actually want to talk to. From bill collectors, to prank calls, to crazy exes. Trust me, it's just better not to answer them. But at the same time. What if that restricted call is your shot? What if it was the one call that could change not only your life but also the people's lives around you? Would you answer now? AF Quari is an artist hoping that his latest single "Restricted Calls" will be the hit that will have record labels calling to take his career to the next level.

In 2016 Monica and Missy Elliot’s #SoFarGoneChallenge took over the internet. Thanks to the challenge going viral rappers from everywhere uploaded their best cover version of the song. Artists like Chance the Rapper showed that even celebrities we’re getting in on the challenge (read the story about Chance the Rapper’s #SoFarGoneChallenge here.). An artists named 95 has also stepped up to the #SoFarGone Challenge with his version of the song.

​Friday Night Lights! It's more than a game but a moment in time where some of the best athletes compete. But even before any of that. Before the lights, before the fans, hell before the practices. It's the TRYOUT. Tre Trezzz is a rapper who's tryout has started with the drop of his latest single "Medicated".

"Think I'd better let it go." Words from Teddy Pendergrass's hit single "TKO". On the track Teddy talks about letting go of a woman that wasn't good for him. A lesson that would lead to a hit and a #2 spot on Billboard's Hot R&B chart. Lee Littles is an artist looking to create his own hit while paying homage to Teddy Pendagrass with his remix to TKO.
