Shaman Nostra’s “Bread On The Platter” touches on the lack of authenticity in current hip hop music and the tendency of rappers to portray a lifestyle that they are not living. Shaman Nostra wrote this song a few months ago and during the quarantine, shot some quick visuals to accompany it and shared it on YouTube.

Shaman Nostra is a 22-year-old rap artist from Toronto, Canada, displaying a great amount of versatility, and is able to deliver both mainstream, catchy hip hop music, and more underground, lyrical music.

Zonaé Amor’s “Tik Tok” is a catchy song made for anyone to pop to, young or old—a short, sweet and upbeat song for the summer heat. Zonaé Amor made the song “Tik Tok” in order to get her city, Phoenix, Arizona, on the musical map.

Zonaé Amor is a songwriter from Phoenix, Arizona, and is currently a nursing student at Aspen University. Songwriting has been Zonaé’s passion and gift since childhood. Her love of music created an avenue to pursue writing for other artists, and Zonaé puts out new singles as one goal to get the attention of artists who need lyrics. Zonaé will be the first in her family to graduate from college, and she is also a survivor of human trafficking and domestic violence. She uses her painful past as a driving factor for creating music that can be lyrically appreciated. Zonaé’s sound has been likened to Missy Elliot, Cardi B, Aaliyah, Nicki Minaj and Meli.

1990s and early 2000s.

Rising from the projects of New York City’s Lower East Side, Nuyorican artist Dave Grymm
emerged at the turn of the century with a series of mixtapes chronicling life on these New York streets. After a nearly ten-year hiatus, Grymm (standing for Graphic Release Your Mind Music) made a triumphant return to the underground scene in 2017 reigniting his passion for raw music and poetry.

“About It” is a song that Obsezzion made about making it out of the hood.

Who is Obsezzion? What might seem like a simple question becomes an intricate and complex review within 5 minutes of chilling with him. After meeting up on a stormy day in South LA to seeing him come alive in an East Miami studio, it’s clear that Obsezzion is not one to be defined and in that medium is where he thrives. After making music for just a year, it could be easy to assume that being an artist was his chosen path. While this is true, it seems that being artist is just one of many gifts he is pursuing. He also makes his own beats, plays the piano, saxophone and mix/master. 
“I believe that I can do all things with God. I was blessed with musical talent. it is just the path I knew I could focus on and consistently give my all to . I’m just confident in myself”. 
 “I know that I can serve as a role model and show kids that there are other options than the streets. My influence goes beyond the music. I’m giving “game” to these young kids on the projects as well.”
