Growing up in Wyandanch, Long Island NY wasn't easy, especially being one of twenty-two children was rough for the infamous King Nova. Raised by his mother and grandmother, the pressure was on, the hunger grew stronger and the determination became limitless to create a better life for his family.
King Nova was always around musically inclined siblings but his vibrant, comical personality had him stumble upon a talent he wasn't aware he possessed while freestyling to a beat just to make his classmates laugh. No stranger to writing though, at the age of 12 Nova was structuring in-depth poetry and was driven by lyrical geniuses like Sheek Louch to inspire him.
The diverse mastermind moved all over Long Island and was introduced to a plethora of different people. Instead of doing just rap why not mix up the recipe and incorporate different styles? That's exactly what King Nova did. From his out-the-box music videos to his catchy flow and mainstream singles, Nova has a lot to offer. Happy vibes and good times is what Nova creates all around and you can feel it through the music.
Pressure makes diamonds, King Nova says he’s always been counted out, but feeling like the underdog only created a lyrical monster on the tracks. “I love when people doubt me because I show them what I'm capable of.” And he always does. With over 30k views organically, which is rare to even be able to say nowadays, Nova has a bright future and over 5 years worth of songs tucked in the stash. From opening up for Benny The Butcher, Nino man and Dave East to performing overseas in Scotland, & Soon to be featured in a documentary for the NHK network in JapanKing Nova is setting the tone for his upcoming projects. #LegendaryNothingLess

Ross' new acoustic version of the EP’s closing track “Don’t Pretend”, premiered exclusively on BET Soul, will leave you reeling with heart-racing emotion.
Kevin Ross’ acoustic take on “Don’t Pretend” was filmed in a dreamy, soft-hued bedroom under the sparkle of a big city skyline. Lit in a violet glow of muted elegance, Kevin Ross stuns his audience with a stripped-down version of his earth-shaking closing track. The acoustic version of “Don’t Pretend” features a saccharine guitar riff that mingles with Kevin Ross’ uncut vocal, creating an ambiance of warmth and an intrinsic feel of acceptance; it’s like you're right there in the room with him. “Don’t Pretend” recalls memories Ross holds sacred and the acoustic version allows Kevin Ross to dive in even deeper.

Hearts Don't Break Even will move you toward a state of reflection with language that strikes the chord of being human and instrumentals that transcend the surface of reality.

Vandes Jackson is an independent artist, producer, and native of Chicago, IL. This year he has been making some huge waves in the indie music scene with collaborations with Rick Ross, Sean Kingston, and now he’s returning with a hit single “Masterful Misfit” featuring entrepreneur, and music artist Dizzy Wright.
The song is an ode to the current state of hip hop, and modern day politics within street culture.
Following Dizzy Wright, Vandes leads: Know some trappers, know some preachers too/ we all got the same struggle, pivot off that revenue/ they always end up killing you, places that you never go, places that you never knew/ I been sick of the system I think I got the fucking flu. - Vandes Jackson, “Masterful Misfit”
Vandes had the following to say about working with Dizzy:
“I never wanted to be confined to one specific sound, or genre. I create and move in the direction I’m led and divinely directed to. This record is a step into another lane musically and I’m just blessed to be able to implement some things from some of my greatest influences and MCs that ever touched a mic. Forever grateful for Dizzy Wright and Anno Domini Nation for bridging the gap and allowing me to elevate my craft, and express my genuine sentiments on things happening in our culture. I take absolutely none of this for granted. I’m hoping to put out some exclusive releases later this year by way of Curious Collections Vinyl Records in Bryan, TX. Always working on the next hit, single, or project. Wheels up!”
