Deezle Releases Highly Anticipated Single “My Boonoonos” ft. Hotboy Ronald

Deezle Releases Highly Anticipated Single “My Boonoonos” ft. Hotboy Ronald

Deezle Releases Highly Anticipated Single “My Boonoonos” ft. Hotboy Ronald

 

3x Grammy-winning producer, artist, and New Orleans legend Deezle just released his highly anticipated single “My Boonoonos” featuring Southern bounce icon Hotboy Ronald.

“My Boonoonos” fuses sultry R&B crooning with raw New Orleans bounce, turning a late-night passion into an explosive club anthem. Built on a driving bassline and slick synth chords, the track captures that electric tipping point where romantic devotion meets an uninhibited party atmosphere. Hotboy Ronald injects signature NOLA heat, crashing through with relentless hype ad-libs and a rapid-fire verse that instantly shifts the track into high gear. His gritty, call-and-response flow creates a dynamic push-and-pull against the silkier vocals, resulting in a high-energy hybrid that feels tailormade for Southern dance floors.

Deezle, born and raised in New Orleans, is an acclaimed producer and R&B artist who has worked with acclaimed artists such as Drake, J-Lo, Nicki Minaj, and Chris Brown to name a few. He co-produced Lil Wayne’s hit single “Lollipop” has since expanded his career with numerous collaborations and contributions across the music industry. He works with the nonprofits Son of A Saint, The Louis Armstrong Foundation, The Jazz and Heritage Foundation and the Trombone Shorty Foundation and has been featured on CNN, Yahoo News, Billboard, Vlad TV, BET, and more.

Deezle, born Darius Harrison, has taken the music game by storm with no plans on slowing down. A 3x Grammy Award-winning songwriter, producer, and engineer, as well as a recording artist in his own right, Deezle was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is best known for co-producing Lil Wayne’s single “Lollipop” and has worked with some of the biggest names across every genre of music, including Drake, J-Lo, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Master P, Donald Harrison Jr. (jazz), Bishop Paul S. Morton (gospel), Aqua Dolls (pop punk), and Rebirth Brass Band, among many others.

Deezle’s musical roots run deep into his New Orleans upbringing. As a young child, he was captivated watching his bass-playing uncle practice Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” and he knew early on that music was his calling. At nine years old, a local recruiter introduced him to the alto saxophone, an instrument he chose after hearing Grover Washington Jr.’s Winelight. By middle school he was marching and competing, and he fought for his spot at the legendary St. Augustine High School, where he ultimately achieved his dream of becoming drum major.

His passion for audio led him to experiment with early music recording using dual tape decks and a Casio keyboard. He initially pursued pre-med at Xavier University after high school, but his true passion pulled him back to music, and he transferred to the University of New Orleans to study vocal performance while self-teaching audio engineering and frequency manipulation through industry magazines.

His hands-on production journey accelerated when he landed an internship at a local studio, quickly advancing to assistant engineer and working sessions for heavyweights like Aaron Neville. It was during this period that he met jazz icon Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr., beginning a mentorship that has now spanned 30 years. Shortly after, a phone call from Cash Money Records’ Slim brought Deezle into the studio with Lil Wayne, launching a historic run in which he engineered and produced dozens of chart-topping hits, contributing to landmark projects including Tha Carter, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter III, and Birdman’s Fast Money.

Deezle boasts an impressive resume: a 3x Grammy win for his engineering, production, and songwriting work on Lil Wayne’s Carter III, 11 ASCAP Pop and R&B awards, a Billion Streams Award for his work on Drake’s hit “In My Feelings,” and dozens of other #1 and Top 40 hits, with his hands touching over 75 million records sold.

Deezle is no stranger to the stage, either. He’s performed alongside DJ Mastachi at the famed EDC Mexico festival in 2019, appeared on MTV Unplugged with rock band Molotov, and was featured on Latin singer Michelle Soifer’s single “Son Tus Ojos.”

Today, Harrison runs his own production company, Box Bangers Media. His production and engineering credits extend even further across genres, including a co-producing credit with Kanye West on “Let the Beat Build,” work with N’Dea Davenport of The Brand New Heavies and singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, and contributions to Birdman’s Fast Money and Tha Carter II, alongside forays into rock and country records. Alongside producing hit records, Deezle has also contributed music, alongside Donald Harrison Jr., to film scores including Right to Return and Rachel Getting Married, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Demme.

In recent years, Deezle has stepped out from behind the boards to build a solo catalogue of his own. In January 2025, he released Deezle Presents The Box Bangers, a 15-track compilation on which he serves as lead performer, backed by a roster of collaborators from his label. He followed it with a run of singles and EPs through 2025, including the Surrender EP and “My Hands on Your Body,” a track press has pointed to as a genuine artist statement rather than a producer’s side project, signaling his transition from hitmaker to recording artist in his own right.

Dan Rush, Livio Harris & Mac G / GetEmMacDidIt Launch the Sasha Santiago Radio Show — A New Era in Global Media, Music, and Fashion

Dan Rush, Livio Harris & Mac G / GetEmMacDidIt Launch the Sasha Santiago Radio Show — A New Era in Global Media, Music, and Fashion

Dan Rush, Livio Harris & Mac G / GetEmMacDidIt Launch the Sasha Santiago Radio Show — A New Era in Global Media, Music, and Fashion

 

THREE VISIONARIES. ONE FREQUENCY. A GLOBAL REVOLUTION.

The Sasha Santiago Radio Show — broadcasting in partnership with iHeart Radio — is poised to become the Internet’s next great media empire, driven by three of the entertainment industry’s most formidable power players.

A New Frequency for a Global Generation

The entertainment world is witnessing the convergence of three legendary careers, one visionary artist, and an unstoppable media platform. The Sasha Santiago Radio Show — launched on iHeart Radio and streaming globally — is more than a radio program. It is a cultural movement, a brand ecosystem, and the next chapter in a story written by three titans who have shaped the music industry for a combined total of nearly 100 years.

Dan Rush, CEO of PPV Live (Pay-Per-View Live Events); Livio Harris, CEO of Who’s Harris Entertainment, Co-CEO of Velocity Entertainment/Velocity Music Publishing, and President of New Peak Entertainment; and Mac G, known internationally as GetEmMacDidIt — have united their decades of industry mastery to elevate recording artist, actress, model, and media personality Sasha Santiago to a global stage.

Sasha Santiago herself is a multi-hyphenate force: artist, actress, model, radio show host, and brand ambassador. She is currently starring in the television drama series Sire (EXHALE STUDIOS (@thishallelujah + @I_amsimonej)), building a fashion identity through the Goofi Bougie apparel line, and anchoring the iHeart-partnered radio show that bears her name. As Livio Harris describes it, the goal is nothing less than the Internet’s Hot 97 — female-led, culturally commanding, and
globally resonant.

EXECUTIVE SPOTLIGHT:

DAN RUSH
CEO, PPV Live | Co-Founder, Sasha Santiago Radio Show | 30-Year Industry Veteran

“Anything’s possible with God first, recognizing your skill, belief in yourself, and doing your homework”

Dan Rush is the architect of live experience at scale. With over three decades of mastery spanning music production, telecommunications, cable media, and global event production, Rush built an industry legacy forged at the intersection of technology and entertainment.

His tenure at Comcast — where he sat in conversation with the legendary Ralph Roberts himself — gave him unmatched insight into the convergence of cable, streaming, and mobile media. That knowledge powered the launch of PPV Live, his Pay-Per-View streaming company, which has produced some of the largest live events in the world, including a landmark concert in Jamaica with attendance at the site surpassing ten million people.

Rush’s music roots run deep. As a teenager, he was in creative sessions alongside Grammy-winning producer Scott Storch and built relationships with The Roots and other foundational figures in urban music. Mentored by producer James Solomon, he learned the architecture of sound arrangements before pivoting to the business of the industry — brokering music catalogs spanning genres from Black Sabbath to reggae, and engineering multi-million dollar deals in New York conference rooms for catalog assets owned by industry heavyweights. One deal was closed — famously — on a napkin, with the heir to the StarKist empire, resulting in a concert production that cemented Rush’s reputation as a once-in-a-generation deal-maker.

His philosophy is simple, yet profound: “Even if you don’t think you’re an executive on certain levels, you are — especially when you transpire a thought into an action, into a manifestation.”

Today, Rush channels that philosophy into the Sasha Santiago Radio Show, where his global streaming infrastructure, telecommunications expertise, and deal-making acumen are driving the platform toward a worldwide audience. He is the connective tissue between the vision and the velocity.

Executive Spotlight:

LIVIO HARRIS
CEO, Who’s Harris Entertainment | Co-CEO, Velocity Entertainment / Velocity Music Publishing | President, New Peak Entertainment | 36-Year Industry Veteran

“God just opened those doors for me. I just walked through them”

Livio Harris is a serial entrepreneur, music publishing mogul, talent manager, and cultural architect — a man whose fingerprints are on some of the defining moments of American popular music over the last four decades. Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Harris arrived in Los Angeles in 1989 with nothing but ambition, and proceeded to build one of the most quietly formidable careers in entertainment.

His journey reads like a masterclass in reinvention. As a recording artist in the male R&B group 4 Sure, Harris was signed to Uptown Records — the legendary home of Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Guy, Al B. Sure!, and Heavy D & the Boyz — under the mentorship of the late, great Andre Harrell. Transitioning to Ruffhouse Records alongside Kris Kross, Cypress Hill, and the Fugees, Harris gained cross-genre fluency that would serve him for the next three decades.

His most transformative early move came when he pivoted from artist to architect — discovering, developing, and managing Adina Howard, whose breakthrough single “Freak Like Me” (directed by Hype Williams) became a cultural phenomenon and a 31-year-anniversary classic still dominating airwaves and playlists worldwide. Harris wrote and produced 90% of Howard’s debut album, conceiving her as “female R. Kelly meets Black Madonna” — an artistic vision that defied industry convention and delivered multi-platinum success.

That pivot led to an executive role as U.S. creative representative for Notting Hill Music Publishing (London), where Harris brokered landmark deals involving the catalogs and writing credits of Will Smith, Beyoncé (via Scott Storch and Robert “EST” Waller), Michael Jackson, Nelly (“Air Force Ones”), Outkast, Usher, Chris Brown, CeeLo Green, and the Pussycat Dolls. He later co-founded a catalog brokerage firm with industry veterans Vincent Cirrincione and Eric Jackson, most recently completing Rodney Jerkins’ catalog transaction with HarborView.

His management portfolio has included actor Jonathan McDaniel (Lil’ J of Disney’s That’s So Raven), now a major film star in the Michael B. Jordan mold. Mentored by Russell Simmons (Def Jam, Phat Farm, Def Comedy Jam) and Andre Harrell (Black Hollywood, swag as culture), Harris absorbed the blueprint for multi-vertical empire building and has applied it across music, publishing, film, television, fashion, and spirits.

He co-founded the Goofi Bougie fashion line (G-O-O-F-I B-O-U-G-I-E) with Mac G, with Sasha Santiago and Autumn Rae serving as inaugural brand ambassador models — a label that embodies elevated, aspirational identity with an unapologetically bold personality. He also co-founded Dizzle (dizzlebrand.com), a premium spirits brand with partners Mike Dizzle and Chris Roker.

Now, as the Executive Creative Force behind the Sasha Santiago Radio Show, Harris brings the full weight of his 36-year blueprint to bear on a platform he envisions as “the Internet’s Hot 97 — femaleled, globally commanding, culturally essential.”

Executive Spotlight:

MAC G /
GetEmMacDidIt
Music Producer | Co-Founder, Goofi Bougie | Producer, Sasha Santiago Radio Show | 30-Year Production Veteran

“That beat on your hard drive might just be your next major hit. Life-changing opportunities — just keep going.”

Mac G — born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and known across the industry as GetEmMacDidIt — is one of the most seasoned and versatile music producers in the game, with a career spanning three decades and a discography that defines multiple eras of urban music. His sound, his instincts, and his production philosophy have shaped the careers of global superstars and left an indelible mark on the culture.

Mac G’s origin story is the stuff of legend. In 2001, his childhood friend Eric “E-Rex” Sims played his beats for DMX at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia — and DMX immediately demanded to meet the man behind the sound. That meeting led to Mac G signing directly with DMX’s Bloodline Records, producing “Dog for Life” — featuring the then 15-year-old Hitmaka, known at the time as Yung Berg — for the Exit Wounds soundtrack. From there, Mac G delivered placements on DMX’s fifth studio album Grand Champ with “On Top” featuring Big Stan, and produced for Casmere, the first lady of Bloodline Records.

His production work expanded across the industry with collaborations featuring multi-platinum artists Mýa, actress and performer Monica Calhoun, Kurupt of the Dogg Pound, Rampage of the Flipmode Squad, and an impressive list of additional credits. His reach extended to the small screen with music placements on the hit television series Empire and VH1’s The Irv Gotti Show, further cementing his credibility as a producer who moves seamlessly between mediums.

A 20-year creative partnership with Livio Harris has made Mac G the sonic backbone of Who’s Harris Entertainment’s operations — particularly in the development of Sasha Santiago, for whom Mac G is both chief producer and creative architect. Every record, every sound, every sonic identity that defines Sasha Santiago as an artist bears Mac G’s imprint.

Beyond production, Mac G has expanded his portfolio into AI-driven video production, fashion coentrepreneurship via the Goofi Bougie apparel line, branding strategy, and commercial work — positioning himself as a creative entrepreneur for the next generation of entertainment.

His message to every producer grinding in obscurity echoes the belief system that has driven his own career: “Don’t give up on your dream. Keep great sounds in your arsenal. Stay current, stay inspired. That beat on your hard drive might just be your next major hit.”

THE SASHA SANTIAGO RADIO SHOW — A GLOBAL MEDIA PLATFORM

Born at the intersection of music, media, fashion, and cultural influence, the Sasha Santiago Radio Show on iHeart Radio represents a new template for 21st-century broadcasting. Hosted by the multihyphenate Sasha Santiago — artist, actress, model, brand ambassador, and cultural voice — the show is designed to transcend the traditional radio format and become a fully realized brand ecosystem with global reach.

Sasha Santiago — discoverable on Instagram at @sashasantiago_official — is simultaneously developing her music catalog under the creative direction of Mac G and Livio Harris, starring in the television drama series Sire (EXHALE STUDIOS (@thishallelujah + @I_amsimonej), in association with Hallelujah Johnson and Simone J), serving as inaugural brand ambassador for Goofi Bougie alongside model Autumn Rae, and building a media brand that will serve as the creative hub of an entertainment empire.

Under the strategic and creative stewardship of Dan Rush (infrastructure, global streaming, and live events), Livio Harris (artist development, brand vision, publishing, and multi-vertical management), and Mac G (production, sound identity, AI content, and fashion), the Sasha Santiago Radio Show is positioned not as a program — but as a platform, a brand, and a cultural institution in the making.

GOOFI BOUGIE — THE FASHION FRONTIER

Simultaneously launching alongside the radio show is Goofi Bougie (G-O-O-F-I B-O-U-G-I-E), the fashion label co-founded by Livio Harris and Mac G. More than a clothing line, Goofi Bougie is a statement of identity — the intersection of elevated ambition and unfiltered personality. As Livio Harris describes it: “You can be bougie, but we Goofi Bougie — over-the-top bougie.” With Sasha Santiago and Autumn Rae as inaugural brand ambassador models, Goofi Bougie is set to move from the music world into global fashion markets.

THEVISION — WHERETHIS IS GOING

Three power players. One platform. One artist. One clothing line. One radio show on the world’s largest audio network. And one shared conviction: that the next chapter in global entertainment will be written by those bold enough to build it from the ground up, on their own terms.

As Dan Rush declared in his own words: “I’m looking forward to taking this thing global.”

The Sasha Santiago Radio Show is live. The movement has begun.

Mississippi Rapper RashadSoFly Makes Noise With Viral Single “Where You From,” Putting the Magnolia State in the Spotlight

Mississippi Rapper RashadSoFly Makes Noise With Viral Single “Where You From,” Putting the Magnolia State in the Spotlight

Mississippi Rapper RashadSoFly Makes Noise With Viral Single “Where You From,” Putting the Magnolia State in the Spotlight

 

ATLANTA, GA — Mississippi-born rapper RashadSoFly is bringing attention to the Magnolia State with his latest single, “Where You From,” a record that is gaining traction across social media and inspiring listeners to represent the cities, hometowns, and communities that made them who they are.

What started as a song rooted in personal experience has grown into a movement of Mississippi pride. As clips of “Where You From” circulate across TikTok and Instagram, people from across the state are joining the wave, creating videos, repping their hometowns, and helping push Mississippi culture into a bigger spotlight.

For RashadSoFly, the record is about more than making a catchy song. It is about identity, upbringing, and the experiences that shape a person long before the world knows their name.

Growing up in Mississippi, RashadSoFly experienced firsthand how much your environment can influence your journey. In sharing the story behind the record, the rapper has opened up about walking to school with his mother and moving between places during his childhood, experiences that sometimes made him feel different from the other kids. Those memories helped shape the perspective behind the song, giving “Where You From” a personal meaning that listeners can connect with.

Now based in Atlanta, RashadSoFly continues to represent his Mississippi roots while building his career as an independent artist. Rather than focusing solely on himself, he is using the momentum behind the single to bring attention to the people and places that helped shape him.

The response has extended beyond individual posts, with Mississippi women, creators, and supporters joining the trend and helping spread the record online. The growing participation reflects the song’s central message: where you come from is part of your story, and there is pride in representing it.

RashadSoFly is also using the moment to encourage unity across Mississippi. With the state’s different regions, cities, and area codes—including 601, 662, 228, and 769—“Where You From” creates an opportunity for people to celebrate their hometowns while coming together behind a common cause.

As an independent artist, RashadSoFly is building on the momentum through consistent social media content, music promotion, and efforts to connect with new audiences. His approach reflects a larger goal of creating opportunities without waiting for a major label to put his name on the map.

With “Where You From,” RashadSoFly is making one thing clear: representing Mississippi is bigger than one artist. It is about the culture, the people, the stories, and the hometowns that deserve recognition.

Mississippi is getting its moment—and RashadSoFly wants the world to know exactly where he comes from.

Listen to “Where You From” by RashadSoFly and join the movement.

Rick Ross Releases Highly Anticipated Single “Loaded” ft. Kemar McGregor

Rick Ross Releases Highly Anticipated Single “Loaded” ft. Kemar McGregor

Rick Ross Releases Highly Anticipated Single “Loaded” ft. Kemar McGregor

 

Blending island riddims with cinematic rap swagger, this track delivers a glossed-up anthem centered on royalty, luxury, and global influence. This is a collaboration with Jamaican-American producer Kemar McGregor, known as “The Billboard King” for his chart-topping reggae records, and his touch is all over the song’s island bounce. Warm basslines and staccato synth hits set a breezy backdrop for unapologetic flexes of million-dollar rings and fast cars. Beneath the jet-setting bravado, however, is a classic rags-to-riches story, contrasting early days eating bully beef with the undisputed reign of being self-made. 

Hip-Hop Icon • Serial Entrepreneur • Cultural Icon

Rick Ross—born William Leonard Roberts II—is far more than a music legend. He’s a Grammy nominated rapper, empire builder, luxury tastemaker, community leader, and cultural powerhouse whose vision has helped shape hip-hop’s evolution over the last two decades. From his deep baritone to his commanding presence in music and business, Ross has become one of the most influential multi-hyphenates of his generation.

Ross exploded onto the scene in 2006 with his breakout hit “Hustlin’”, which went platinum before he even had a major record deal. He followed with a string of critically acclaimed albums including Port of Miami, Trilla, Deeper Than Rap, Teflon Don, God Forgives, I Don’t, and

Richer Than I Ever Been. His catalog is both sonically lush and lyrically vivid, built on themes of power, perseverance, and wealth.

Over the span of his career, Rick Ross has earned ten Grammy nominations, collaborated with the biggest names in music—Jay-Z, DJ Khaled, John Legend, The Weekend, French Montana, Lil Wayne, Nas, and many others—and has consistently landed at the top of Billboard charts, cementing his status as one of rap’s true heavyweights. As the founder of Maybach Music Group (MMG), Ross helped usher in a new generation of stars including Meek Mill, Wale, and Omarion, proving his eye for talent and executive prowess.

Off the mic, Ross is a mogul in every sense of the word. His portfolio includes:

Wadena “Denagirl” Hits #38 On iTunes R&B/Soul With “Smoke-n-Chill” As “Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside” Builds Major Post-Release Momentum

 

“SMOKE-N-CHILL” CLIMBS TO #38 ON iTUNES R&B/SOUL FOLLOWING THE EP RELEASE, WHILE WADENA’S UNRELEASED “GLAD I’M OVER YOU” FEATURING TURNER WITH HOOD LOVE CONTINUES ITS IMPRESSIVE RUN ON THE UPCOMING 100 MUSIC CHARTS

LONG ISLAND, NY — October 2026 — Independent recording artist, songwriter, and vocalist Wadena “Denagirl” is celebrating a powerful new chapter following the release of her latest project, Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside, released August 28, 2026.

The post-release momentum is already making noise. Following the release of the EP, Wadena’s “Smoke-N-Chill” climbed to #38 on the iTunes R&B/Soul chart, adding another major milestone to the record’s growing story.

At the same time, Wadena continues to make an impact on the Upcoming 100 Music Charts with “Glad I’m Over You,” an unreleased track featuring Turner with Hood Love. The record has spent 56 weeks on the Upcoming 100 Music Charts, reaching as high as #7 and currently sitting around #32.

The EP itself has surpassed 24,000 Spotify streams, while Wadena’s catalog continues to gain traction with listeners discovering the versatility, energy, and story behind her music.

One of the project’s standout records, “Smoke-N-Chill,” a Wadena collaboration with her sister LT and Grammy Award-winning, legendary hip-hop producer Zaytoven, has surpassed 150,000 streams across multiple platforms and continues to build momentum.

“Smoke-N-Chill” has also remained on the Upcoming 100 Music Charts for more than 52 weeks, reaching as high as #3, further demonstrating the record’s staying power.

Another major collaboration, “Bum Busta,” produced by Grammy Award-winning, legendary hip-hop producer Zaytoven, continues to build momentum as well. Originally released February 14, 2026, the record has surpassed 100,000 streams across multiple platforms and has now passed 19,000 Spotify streams following the EP release.

Wadena’s catalog continues to demonstrate that her music cannot be placed into one box. Moving between Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, Melodic Rap, and Club Music, she continues to show a willingness to experiment while maintaining her own recognizable sound and personality.

A COMEBACK BUILT THROUGH ADVERSITY

Behind the numbers is a story that goes far beyond music.

Wadena’s return to recording followed a traumatic brain injury that forced her to fight to regain portions of her long-term and short-term memory, as well as the ability to fully express herself through speech, movement, music, and performance.

Her return to the professional recording environment became a personal milestone.

Traveling from New York to Atlanta, Wadena stepped back into the studio and began creating again — including working with Zaytoven and his team. What she did not initially realize was just how significant that moment would become.

Then came even more personal challenges.

Wadena experienced the loss of her father on Mother’s Day, while her elderly mother has also faced serious medical emergencies and hospitalizations. At the very moment Wadena was attempting to maximize the promotional campaign surrounding her EP, family circumstances required her attention.

Yet the music continued to move.

Fans continued to stream.

Media continued to show love.

And the industry continued to take notice.

WHEN THE MUSIC SPEAKS LOUDER

Wadena says the response has reminded her why she never stopped writing and creating.

She has also described facing what she believes were inappropriate law-enforcement inquiries surrounding her music and travel, including scrutiny of the lyrics to “Smoke-N-Chill.” Wadena maintains that the song is music and creative expression, not an endorsement of drug activity, and says the experience only strengthened her determination to continue creating.

Rather than allowing adversity to define the story, Wadena is choosing to let the music define what comes next.

A MESSAGE TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Following the release of Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside, Wadena says she has received attention and outreach from major-label representatives, A&Rs, artists, celebrities, producers, and industry teams.

She wants to thank everyone who has reached out, listened, shared her music, offered guidance, or expressed interest in working together.

And her message is simple:

The door is open.

Wadena is looking for serious creative relationships, strategic marketing opportunities, playlist support, media opportunities, additional production, collaborations, and the right industry partnerships to help take her music to an even larger audience.

«“This isn’t about beef. It’s about love. Love conquers more than hate ever will. I want to continue creating, writing, singing, recording, and giving people music.”»

Wadena says she has always been writing and singing with the future in mind — and she believes she has an entire catalog waiting to be heard.

She describes herself as being “hungry like a little kid in elementary school” when it comes to sharing her music, connecting with audiences, getting back into the studio, and creating the next chapter of her career.

She also hopes to return to the studio with Zaytoven and continue building on the creative chemistry that helped fuel this latest chapter.

THE STORY ISN’T OVER — IT’S JUST BEGINNING

For Wadena, Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside represents much more than an EP.

It represents survival.

Creativity.

Resilience.

Growth.

And the decision to keep going.

With more than 24,000 Spotify streams for the EP, more than 150,000 streams for “Smoke-N-Chill,” a #38 iTunes R&B/Soul chart placement for “Smoke-N-Chill” following the EP release, and continued Upcoming 100 Music Chart momentum for “Glad I’m Over You” featuring Turner with Hood Love, Wadena believes this is only the beginning.

“Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside” is not the end of the comeback. It’s the beginning of what’s next.

PLAY WADENA’S MUSIC

Wadena invites fans, DJs, media, playlist curators, artists, producers, A&Rs, labels, and music professionals to continue supporting the movement.

Stream the EP. Share the music. Add the songs to your playlists. Tell somebody about Wadena.

And most importantly:

Sufia Giza Carries the Dub-Poetry Tradition Forward on New Roots Reggae Album “Echoes of Freedom”

Sufia Giza Carries the Dub-Poetry Tradition Forward on New Roots Reggae Album “Echoes of Freedom”

Sufia Giza Carries the Dub-Poetry Tradition Forward on New Roots Reggae Album “Echoes of Freedom”

 

Produced by Jah-Eye and featuring veteran reggae musicians Carlton “Santa” Davis and Lesterfari Simbarashe, the nine-track set begins its rollout on Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Indigenous author, historical researcher and dub-poetess Sufia Giza launches the rollout for her forthcoming nine-track roots reggae album, Echoes of Freedom, with the October 12 premiere of her “Quantum Nonsense” video trailer in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Indigenous author, historical researcher and dub-poetess Sufia Giza first entered the media spotlight with her 2018 book, Moundbuilders of Ancient America: A Legacy Reclaimed, which explored her ancestral roots and the legacy of ancient mound-building cultures. Now, Giza will mark Indigenous Peoples’ Day with the October 12 premiere of her “Quantum Nonsense” video trailer. The premiere launches a multi-stage rollout for her forthcoming nine-track roots reggae album, Echoes of Freedom. Through poetry and music, the project extends her historical and cultural work while creating space for intergenerational conversations about identity, remembrance, resistance and healing.

The video trailer draws from the album track ‘Quantum Nonsense,’ which examines the complex history of Black people in Indian Country and invites a deeper conversation about the intersections of Indigenous and African American history.

Following the trailer premiere, Giza will pre-release one album track, the ethereal “I Went to Church Today,” on November 2, the Day of the Dead. Written while she was grieving her mother’s death, the song opens the campaign on a day associated with remembrance and honoring those who have passed. The complete digital album is scheduled for release December 31, 2026, on Unity Works Music, coinciding with Kuumba, the Kwanzaa principle of creativity. CDs will follow in 2027, with a vinyl edition also under consideration.

“Echoes of Freedom is my way of bringing the voices of the past into the conversations we are having right now. Releasing the ‘Quantum Nonsense’ trailer on Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a way of honoring Indigenous history while setting the tone for an album rooted in reverence and restoration,” said Giza.

Of Muskogee Creek and Gullah-Geechee heritage, Giza lives between Charleston, South Carolina, and Tobago, Trinidad’s sister island. Her work as a spoken word artist follows the dub-poetry tradition of artists who place politically and culturally conscious verse over music, including Linton Kwesi Johnson, Nikki Giovanni, the Watts Prophets, the Last Poets and Mutabaruka. With Echoes of Freedom, she pairs positive, reflective lyrics with a mellow roots reggae foundation, using song as a bridge between lived memory and contemporary questions.

The album is produced by Jah-Eye and features veteran musicians including drummer Carlton “Santa” Davis of Soul Syndicate, whose credits include work with Peter Tosh and Ziggy Marley, and guitarist Lesterfari Simbarashe of King’s Music. Their instrumentation supports Giza’s measured vocal delivery across a collection recorded over a period of years.

Echoes of Freedom includes work that has already reached audiences through film and publishing. “Cape Fear Massacre” appeared on the soundtrack to Christopher Everett’s award-winning 2015 documentary Wilmington on Fire, while “Softly Walking” was published in the 2016 Routledge anthology Emergent Possibilities for Global Sustainability: Intersections of Race, Class and Gender.

Other selections explore grief, consciousness, perseverance and self-worth. Alongside “I Went to Church Today,” the album includes “Indigo Moods” and the inspirational “Keep It Movin’.” “Reflection of Love” examines low self-esteem, while “Quantum Nonsense,” the visual entry point for the campaign, considers the history of anti-Blackness in Indian Country.

“Dub poetry allows me to place history inside rhythm, where it can be felt as well as heard. I want this music to open conversations between generations and encourage people to look more deeply at the stories that have shaped us,” Giza added.

The “Quantum Nonsense” trailer combines desert drone footage with photography edited by Giza. It premieres October 12, 2026, in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day and can be viewed at https://youtu.be/ov9IyUT7L6g.

Additional music and album details will be announced at https://sufiagiza.com.

About Sufia Giza

She is the author of the 2018 book Moundbuilders of Ancient America: A Legacy Reclaimed, which documents her decades-long exploration of her family’s Indigenous ancestry and the ancient mound-building cultures of the Americas.

Votte Hall Drops Highly Anticipated Single “Motion Pt. 2” ft. AZ

Votte Hall Drops Highly Anticipated Single “Motion Pt. 2” ft. AZ

Votte Hall Drops Highly Anticipated Single “Motion Pt. 2” ft. AZ

 

Atlanta based Billboard-charting R&B artist Votte Hall just released his highly anticipated single “Motion Pt. 2” featuring Brooklyn’s legendary lyricist AZ (Illmatic, “Sugar Hill,” The Firm) and super producer LaDamon “FatBoi” Douglas (Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Nicki Minaj).

“Motion Pt. 2″is the sound of the grind finally paying off. Over FatBoi’s rich, soul-soaked production and crisp, polished percussion, Votte Hall looks back on the hard nights spent in a dark kitchen and raises a glass to the life he built, one that’s now filled with Maybach rides and penthouse skylines. AZ follows with a masterclass in pen game, lacing the track with intricate wordplay about perseverance and the principles that got him through. It’s a celebration, but it never forgets how long the road was.

Known for breakout hits like “Kiss On Me” and his expansive 2024 album Heartbreaker, Votte Hall blends R&B roots, storytelling grit, and a mix of Gullah Geechee, African, and Caribbean heritage into his music.

Votte Hall is back in Motion.The Billboard-charting entertainer, songwriter and performer returns with “Motion Pt. 2,” a new record produced by acclaimed hitmaker LaDamon “FatBoi” Douglas and featuring legendary New York rapper AZ. FatBoi brings a proven track record across hip-hop and R&B, including producing Gucci Mane’s breakout hit “Wasted,” along with production credits spanning artists such as Ella Mai, Jeezy, Monica, Flo Rida and Plies. Joining Votte on the record is AZ, one of hip-hop’s most respected lyricists. First introduced to the world through his standout appearance alongside Nas on the landmark Illmatic album, AZ went on to launch an acclaimed solo career with Doe or Die and his hit single “Sugar Hill.” He later joined Nas, Foxy Brown and Nature as a member of The Firm, the celebrated supergroup whose album was released through Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment.

For Votte Hall, Motion is about chasing a dream long enough to finally see it move.It’s a message that mirrors his own journey.Hall broke through in 2018 with “Kiss On Me,” beginning a run that would lead to Billboard chart recognition, arena stages, live television and performances surrounding NFL and other professional sports franchises. In 2024, his Heartbreaker album expanded his reach internationally and continued to establish Votteas an entertainer unwilling to be confined to one musical lane.

His sound reflects that freedom. R&B and soul remain part of his musical foundation, but Votte’s influences stretch across the world and his love for Afrobeats and global rhythms. Raised with Gullah Geecheeroots/African/Caribbean roots, there is also an understated connection to culture, rhythm and storytelling that naturally finds its way into his music. Yet one of the most relatable parts of Votte Hall’s story happened away from the stage.

Before the arena performances and Billboard recognition, Hall was an everyday businessman working a corporate career while pursuing an extraordinary dream. He built his professional life, went to work, handled responsibilities and continued creating music, often balancing the same realities faced by millions of people who are building one life while dreaming about another. He is largely self-made, and that experience has shaped both the man and the entertainer. That is why “Motion Pt. 2” carries a different meaning. It is for the entrepreneur waiting for the business to take off. The artist is waiting for someone to hear the record. The professional builds something after work. The person who has been quietly betting on themselves while the rest of the world sees only their everyday life.

Sometimes the dream doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes you work for it for years. And then, finally, it starts moving. With FatBoi behind the production, AZ bringing the unmistakable voice of New York hip-hop, and VotteHall entering his next chapter as an entertainer, “Motion Pt. 2” connects where he has been with where he is going. 

For Votte Hall, the message is simple: Keep going until the dream is in Motion.

Stevieontay Burnz Announces Burnz and Beyond — Where Music, Cannabis Culture, and Entrepreneurship Collide

Stevieontay Burnz Announces Burnz and Beyond — Where Music, Cannabis Culture, and Entrepreneurship Collide

Stevieontay Burnz Announces Burnz and Beyond — Where Music, Cannabis Culture, and Entrepreneurship Collide

 

Independent artist and entrepreneur Stevieontay Burnz prepares to release Burnz and Beyond, a new project built around cannabis culture, ambition, independence, and the real-life experiences behind The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary)

Stevieontay Burnz is bringing together two worlds that have become inseparable from his story: music and cannabis culture.

The independent artist, entrepreneur, and founder of The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary) is preparing to release his new album, Burnz and Beyond, a project that takes listeners deeper into the lifestyle, business, and experiences that have shaped both his music and his growing brand.

Rather than separating the artist from the entrepreneur, Burnz and Beyond puts both sides of Burnz on full display.

The album draws inspiration from his experiences building The Southern Maryland Experience, navigating the independent music industry, developing cannabis products and brands, and continuing to push forward through the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

From The Southern Maryland Experience to Burnz and Beyond

Founded under Unlimited Experience Holding Company LLC, The Southern Maryland Experience / The Experience Dispensary has grown from its Maryland roots into a legal cannabis and hemp-focused retail brand with operations in North Carolina.

The company focuses on the legal, 21+ cannabis and hemp market, offering a curated selection of products while building a brand centered around cannabis culture rather than the traditional dispensary experience.

For Burnz, that business isn’t separate from his music. 

It is part of the story.

That connection can be heard throughout Burnz and Beyond, where cannabis references sit alongside themes of ambition, relationships, pressure, independence, success, and the realities of trying to build something from the ground up.

The Burnz and Beyond Rollout Begins

The album rollout begins with “Wax Wizardry,” arriving September 30, 2026.

Mixed and mastered by Crackle Kapone, “Wax Wizardry” introduces listeners to the cannabis-heavy atmosphere surrounding the project while showcasing the sound Stevieontay Burnz has continued developing as an independent artist. 

The rollout continues with:

“Married to Mary” — October 7 

“Terp Temple” — October 14 

“The Experience” — October 21

AND MORE TO FOLLOW!

Each release expands the world surrounding Burnz and Beyond, connecting Burnz’s music with the cannabis culture and entrepreneurial journey behind The Southern Maryland Experience. 

The project also follows a growing run for Stevieontay Burnz that has included independent media coverage, radio exposure, interviews, live performances, and continued expansion of his presence across streaming platforms and music media.

More Than an Album 

The title Burnz and Beyond represents exactly what Stevieontay Burnz is attempting to build. 

The music is one part of a much larger vision.

As an artist, Burnz is building his catalog and identity independently. As an entrepreneur, he is continuing to develop The Southern Maryland Experience as a recognizable cannabis-focused retail and lifestyle brand. 

Those paths now meet in Burnz and Beyond.

Instead of simply rapping about cannabis culture from the outside, Burnz’s music comes from someone actively involved in the industry — dealing with the long hours, risks, regulations, branding, customers, products, and constant pressure involved in building a legal cannabis business. 

That gives Burnz and Beyond a perspective that goes beyond cannabis references alone. 

It’s the soundtrack to the lifestyle behind them.

What’s Next for Stevieontay Burnz

With Wax Wizardry kicking off the rollout September 30, Stevieontay Burnz is entering the next stage of his independent career with new music, expanded media coverage, and continued growth surrounding The Southern Maryland Experience.

For Burnz, the goal isn’t simply to release another album or operate another dispensary. 

It’s to build an ecosystem where music, cannabis culture, entrepreneurship, art, and community can exist under one identity. 

And with Burnz and Beyond, those pieces are beginning to come together.

Follow Stevieontay Burnz on all major streaming and social platforms for the latest releases from Burnz and Beyond.

HoodTrophy Bino Releases Captivating New Album “Still Here”

 

HoodTrophy Bino delivers a multi-dimensional body of work balancing raw street authenticity with West Coast bounce and introspective vulnerability across 16 tracks. The project navigates mental health struggles, street paranoia, and emotional burnout on reflective cuts like “DRAMA KID” and “Lost It,” while effortlessly shifting into breezy California anthems like “Where U From” featuring RJMrLA and “Blind Somebody” featuring Spank Nitti James. Relentless street energy and heavy-bass production drive high-impact collaborations like “Beretta” featuring Tadoe, “Distraught” featuring Joe Moses, and “Bout That” featuring Philthy Rich.

Bino turns up the momentum for the night scene on bouncy, club-ready tracks like “Fell 4 It” featuring Baby Money, “Drip Drop” featuring Heaven Marina, “Pretty Bitches” featuring Stiff Barbie, and “Bad Bitch Party” featuring Luh Kel. KeyKinya lends a soaring hook to the resilient “White Flag,” while Rustah Jay and Xxtra join on the explicit late-night anthem “F*ck Me.” The project anchors itself in deep emotional weight toward the finish, confronting toxic relationship strain and personal loss on “Let You Know” and “Leave Me Alone” featuring Joe Moses, before closing on the melancholic, piano-driven “Tired of the Hurt” featuring Heembeezy.

Hoodtrophy Bino has a stacked lineup on the horizon, kicking off with a performance alongside Bravo the Bagchaser in Pomona on September 11th. From there, he joins Chief Keef on tour before hitting the road again in December with Luh Kel. HoodTrophy Bino has generated over 70 million combined views across platforms, anchored by viral hits like “Proud of You” featuring Chrisean Rock and over 80,000 active Shazams driven by “I Want Her” playing at LA Rams and LA Clippers home games. Beyond his chart traction, Bino holds 121 total film festival awards for his documentary “Breaking the Generational Curse” and “The Real” music video.

His recent performances include touring with Soulja Boy, appearing alongside him at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, opening for Trippie Redd at the Toyota Arena, and for Chris Brown in Las Vegas.

When Betrayal Creates a Villain: How a Wounded Man Learns to Weaponize His Pain

When Betrayal Creates a Villain: How a Wounded Man Learns to Weaponize His Pain

When Betrayal Creates a Villain: How a Wounded Man Learns to Weaponize His Pain

 

There’s a moment in every villain’s story where you can still see the person he used to be. “814” is built around that moment – and everything that led up to it. 

The track centers on Dennis, better known as The Shadow, and asks a question that doesn’t get asked enough in  stories about men who turn dark: what if his pain was real, and he still became the villain anyway? 

This isn’t a revenge fantasy. It isn’t an excuse. It’s an attempt to hold two things that are usually treated as mutually exclusive – that Dennis was genuinely wronged, and that Dennis is fully responsible for what he did with that wound.

The Friend Who Knew Exactly What She Was Doing

Mandy never owed Dennis a relationship. Her rejection isn’t the betrayal – she has every right not to feel what he  feels. The betrayal is in what she does with his feelings once she knows about them. 

She keeps Dennis close. Close enough for the attention, the reassurance, the emotional labor he’s always willing to  provide – never close enough to give him what he actually wants. And when he tries to move on, she quietly makes  sure he can’t. Not because she wants him, but because she doesn’t want to lose what he gives her. 

Then she hooks up with Gabriel, Dennis’s best friend, and does it knowing exactly what that means to him. 

In Dennis’s mind, Mandy stops being a person and becomes a symbol: the woman who steps over the loyal man to  get to the reckless one she claims to dislike. The song isn’t arguing that this is how all women behave. It’s showing  how one experience, left to fester, becomes the lens through which a man starts judging everyone.

The Brother Who Chose Himself 

Gabriel is everything Dennis isn’t – confident, reckless, the guy women notice without trying. He knows Dennis is in  love with Mandy. He knows what acting on his own attraction to her will cost. He does it anyway. 

Mandy belongs to no one, and Gabriel’s choice was his to make. But brotherhood carries its own weight, and he set  it down for a night with the one person guaranteed to break his best friend. That’s the betrayal – not that he “took”  something, but that he knew exactly what it would take from Dennis and did it regardless. 

For Dennis, it confirms the worst thing he’s ever suspected about the world: loyalty doesn’t earn love. Patience  doesn’t earn respect. The guy who breaks the rules wins, and the guy who follows them gets left standing there. 

The Second Betrayal, and the Man Who Nearly Ends It

Milano was supposed to be the healing. Instead, she becomes the pattern repeating itself – close, then gone, choosing  a man named Coolie and leaving Dennis behind for a second time.

Years later, after Coolie turns abusive, Milano comes back. Not because she’s finally learned to value Dennis, but  because she remembers exactly how useful his loyalty can be. She tries to manipulate him into eliminating Coolie  for her. 

Here’s where the song refuses to make anything simple: Coolie did abuse Milano. That’s real, and he’s accountable  for it. But he’s innocent of the crime Dennis ultimately frames him for – Milano’s murder. Dennis picks Coolie  precisely because his guilt is already believable. Nobody has to be convinced Coolie is capable of violence; Dennis  just has to point. 

That’s what makes Dennis dangerous. He doesn’t need to invent the flaws in the people he destroys. He finds the real  ones and stretches them into justification for punishment that was never his to hand out. 

The Man Who Handed Him the Weapon 

Dennis’s real transformation starts at his lowest point, after a suicide attempt, when Dominick pulls him back and  takes him under his wing. What Dominick offers isn’t just survival – it’s a new way to see power. 

He teaches Dennis Machiavellian thinking as a tool for a specific, practical purpose: taking down a dangerous  enemy. And it works. But Dominick can’t see what’s happening underneath the strategy. For Dennis, manipulation  stops feeling like a tactic and starts feeling like a superpower – the first time in his life he isn’t the one waiting to be  chosen, waiting to be treated fairly. He can read people’s weaknesses now. He can lead them into traps they never  see. 

He falls in love with the control. What started as a means to an end becomes an identity. Dominick taught him to  think several moves ahead – and unknowingly gave a grieving, resentful man the tools to turn private wounds into  elaborate revenge. 

The Turn 

Nobody becomes a villain in one moment. Dennis is exploited, then betrayed, then taught – by every experience  before Dominick – that kindness is something people take advantage of. After his suicide attempt, Dominick gives  him a new identity built on strategy and control. And somewhere in there, protection curdles into domination. He  murders Milano. He frames Coolie and lets the system finish the job. And in a twist even Dennis doesn’t see coming,  an elderly witch who has been stalking him throughout Ritual III pulls Milano back from the grave and sends her to  him as an undead assassin -After Dennis realizes she’s a gift not a new threat he has the resurrected Milano whack 

Mandy & Gino. Every target genuinely wronged someone – Mandy exploited him, Gabriel betrayed him, Milano  tried to use him, Coolie abused Milano. None of that makes Dennis their judge, and none of it means the story is  done with him yet. 

That’s the line “814” is trying to hold: everyone in this story is accountable. Not everyone is equally accountable.  Dennis remains responsible for what he chose to become, no matter how real the wounds were that got him there. 

What This Is Actually About 

This song isn’t for men who want an excuse. It’s for men who’ve felt used, humiliated, replaced, or discarded by the  people they trusted most – and it’s telling them their pain is real. Being emotionally exploited is real. Having your  kindness read as weakness is real. Getting quietly discarded by someone who needed what you gave them but never  wanted you is real. 

None of that gives anyone ownership over another person. Rejection isn’t automatically betrayal. Pain doesn’t come  with a permission slip to punish, control, or destroy. A man can be a genuine victim in one chapter and still be the  villain of the next – and “814” wants to sit in that discomfort instead of resolving it. 

Dennis’s tragedy isn’t that he was hurt. It’s that he never let that hurt become anything but a weapon. He got addicted  to the one feeling manipulation gave him: never being powerless again. 

If you see yourself anywhere in this story, the message isn’t you were never wronged. It’s this: 

You may have been used. You may have been betrayed. You may have been pushed further than anyone around you  understands. Your pain is real, and it deserves to be heard. But you’re still the one who decides what kind of man  that pain turns you into. 

What’s Next 

Ritual III may be finished, but The Shadow isn’t done. “814” closes on the introduction of Nina – someone with no  ties to Dennis’s revenge, no connection to any of the deaths that came before her. She’s not an epilogue. She’s a door  opening on whatever comes next.
