    BioSouthern positive rapper BamsterG’s latest single, “Dummy Thick,” is a banger intended to bring
    good summer vibes to all the men and ladies in the club — but especially the ladies.
    Thick, of course, is a slang term used as a compliment for curvy women. The addition of dummy
    adds a superlative, in tribute to the women with even more of that something special.
    “I wanted to make a song to the touch hearts of all the good-lookin’ ladies who feel like they got
    that big ‘ba-donkey-donk,’” BamsterG laughs. “It’s a fun track, but it’s also player. It’s cool, calm,
    confident.” The beats were produced by Atlanta-based producers Mercy Beatz and K-Rab (the
    originator of snap music), giving the track an upbeat, club-ready bounce.
    BamsterG wants his music to celebrate the positive aspects of life, and he calls his music
    motivational hip hop. “I try to motivate people to do better and to be happy,” he says. “It’s no
    point in being sad, man, we only live once. It’s time to get out of that heartbreak, get out of this
    predicament, and try to turn that negativity into positivity.”
    The artist’s roots play a role in his music. While he now lives in the city of Chattanooga, his
    hometown is Sweetwater, Tennessee, a place that he says is “very country.” From Sweetwater
    to Chattanooga, to collaborations with producers in Atlanta, a southern flavor is woven into his
    sound and style.
    The name “BamsterG” itself is a family affair. “My dad has called me Bam Bam since I was a
    toddler, cause I bammed on everything like Bam-Bam in The Flintstones,” he explains. “Then it
    became Bamster from all the sports I played: football, basketball, wrestling. The G is from my
    last name, Goodlow.”
    Additionally, he credits his father, a musician known as John Wayne (real name Stacy
    Goodlow), for initially inspiring him to begin creating music. “He had a home studio, and I was
    always around it,” BamsterG says. “He’s a big part of why I do this.” Other influences include
    Future, Rylo Rodriguez, NoCap, Young Thug and many more.
    In terms of creative process, sometimes BamsterG starts by writing lines of lyrics, while other
    times he is inspired by a beat and begins freestyling. And sometimes, the process is more
    collaborative, involving several members of his creative team.
    In addition to his father, that team includes Drew Madden, a Chattanooga-based producer he’s
    been working with since 2019. His cousin, Atlanta rapper LDB Justo, is a close collaborator, part
    of the Lavish Dope Boyz Entertainment label. “You’ve got to have a team,” he says. “If you don’t
    have a team behind you, it’s really hard to get up.”
    With his team behind him, consistency is the plan moving forward for BamsterG. He has more
    singles on the way, including a follow-up single next month and live performances coming soon.
    “We’re releasing singles one after the other,” he says. “I’ve got a vault ready. Not just for this
    year, but years to come.”
    His ultimate hope? “To make people feel good about themselves. Ladies, men, everybody. And
    to make a way for my family.”

    BioNORTHERN KENTUCKY – Orchid in the Ivy, the hard-hitting alternative rock trio
    fronted by Brett Scharf, is turning heads with the re-release of their fiery, pop-punk
    rendition of “Beds Are Burning.” Originally recorded some time ago, the band recently
    remixed and relaunched the track to pave the way for their upcoming five-song
    EP—proving that rock is far from dead and Scharf’s creative fire is still blazing.
    “We did a new mix,” says Scharf of the Midnight Oil classic. “We kinda did it a while
    ago, and we basically did a whole remix... people will maybe recognize it a little bit and
    then kinda get your feet wet again with it—and then go with the five song EP after that.”
    The result? A faster, sharper, and more aggressive version of the politically charged
    anthem—reborn through Orchid in the Ivy’s melodic punk-rock lens. “I always thought it
    had a great groove to it,” Scharf explains. “I was messing around with it one day and
    just thought, ‘God, if we sped this up, this would be more like almost a punk rock tune.’ I
    don't think they realized how kind of heavy and punk rock that song could actually be.”
    For Scharf, who once toured alongside now-household names like Fall Out Boy and
    Motion City Soundtrack in his early band Spindle, Orchid in the Ivy represents a rebirth.
    After years of navigating the ups and downs of multiple projects, including Rosemary
    Device, Scharf stepped into the role of lead singer “more out of necessity than anything
    else.” That unplanned shift uncovered a sound—and voice—that finally felt right.
    “I put some vocals down on a couple songs and asked my drummer what he thought.
    He liked it, and we just kept going forward that way,” says Scharf.
    Since forming in 2013, Orchid in the Ivy has remained fiercely self-sufficient. The band
    records everything at Scharf’s own studio, allowing them the space to experiment and
    evolve. “We were trying to really find out our sound,” Scharf says. “I think in the last five
    or six years, we really found our voice.”
    That voice blends the emotional punch of Brand New’s The Devil and God Are Raging
    Inside Me with the melodic grit of Alkaline Trio’s Crimson and the urgency of Rise
    Against. The upcoming EP, while not including “Beds Are Burning,” follows hot on its
    heels, with singles set to roll out every six to eight weeks.
    “There’s a little more emotion involved in this one,” Scharf notes of the new material.
    “The stuff I’ve been writing for this EP—and even the next one—is just a little more
    personal. With everything going on in the world, it just seems like a chaotic time.”
    Though Scharf’s journey has spanned decades and many stages, his passion has
    never faded. “The older I got, the better the writing got,” he says. “There’s always been
    that inspiration of finding new music, being creative. That’s always been a passion of
    mine.”
    And for fans of raw, heartfelt rock music, the message is clear. “Rock’s not dead,”
    Scharf insists. “I hope we can burst through the scene and break some barriers again.
    There’s still a huge audience out there—and just because major labels aren’t signing it,
    doesn’t mean they’re not there. That’s what rock has always been about: breaking down
    barriers.”

    BioLUTON, UK – June 2025 — British rapper Crazy James returns with his latest sonic
    firestorm, “BTHD,” a track that fuses raw emotion, stunning lyrical agility, and head-
    nodding production into one unforgettable ride. With lush piano flourishes and a beat
    that’s as fresh as it is infectious, “BTHD” showcases Crazy James at the height of his
    artistry—delivering a flow so passionate and magnetic, it’s impossible not to feel it.
    “BTHD” stands for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Disorder—a title as intriguing as the record
    itself. “I’ve always been a massive fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” James explains.
    “They’re a big reason I started rapping. This song is really an homage to them and their
    melodic sound.” While the Cleveland legends never had the same breakout fame in the
    UK as in the States, Crazy James makes it clear that their influence runs deep in his
    DNA.
    From the first piano note to the final verse, “BTHD” radiates energy and intent. The
    production strikes a balance between classic and current, evoking nostalgia while
    sounding distinctly 2025. James’ delivery is sharp, emotionally charged, and beautifully
    dynamic, with verses that dance between reflective storytelling and fast-paced
    wordplay. “When I heard the beat,” he recalls, “I had the melody in my head straight
    away—singing it in the shower, humming it constantly. Even if it was gibberish, I had to
    get it down. Then I started shaping it into something real.”
    Fans of anime will find something extra to love in “BTHD” too, with James sneaking in
    references to Dragon Ball Z—a nod to his love of animation and layered lyricism. “I like
    to play with words,” he says. “People always say I’m hard to categorize—but that’s the
    point. There’s no sound for me. I just create what’s true.”
    The single is part of a larger creative vision that includes his forthcoming LP, featuring
    previous releases like “Whip It,” “Levels,” “Killer Instincts,” and “Show Me”—many of
    which have already caught the attention of BBC Introducing. “Everything on the album is
    intentional,” James says. “You won’t skip a single track.”
    The new music video reflects that same cinematic ambition. It intertwines visuals for
    both “BTHD” and “Killer Instincts,” carrying on a narrative thread started in the “Levels”
    video. “The goal was to make the visuals feel like a continuous story,” James shares.
    “There’s even a teaser for the next single, ‘Higher Learning in Berlin.’ We’re planning to
    film in Berlin later this year.”
    What sets Crazy James apart isn’t just his sound—it’s the spirit behind it. Drawing on a
    childhood spent across Ghana, Belgium, Congo, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, James
    channels a multicultural perspective into music that’s rich with soul, struggle, and
    honesty. Whether he’s reflecting on mental health, fatherhood, or artistic integrity, he
    does so with an unshakable authenticity.
    “Performing live is hard,” he admits. “I give all my energy. But it’s worth it. I rap to
    express what’s inside me—and to let people know they’re not alone.”
    Outside the studio and stage, James juggles a full-time job and fatherhood. “It’s tough,”
    he says. “But I want to leave something behind—not just for my kids, but for the world.”
    With “BTHD,” Crazy James proves he’s not just rapping—he’s building a legacy.
    “Thank you for the support,” he says to fans. “Please keep sharing. More amazing
    material is on the way.”

    Youtube
    https://www.lbdcorptherightchoice.com
    Instagram

    Bio
    To her careers as an entrepreneur, author, MC host, and inspirational speaker, Catrese
    Alston, under the artist name Queen Diamond, has added singer/songwriter to her list of
    accomplishments.
    She has just released four songs, hip-hop and R and B, but “Money Wave” is THE song.
    “‘Money Wave’ is talking about me, in a sense, and also as it relates to money,” she
    said. “It’s talking about how you get that money and live that life.”
    It is kind of like her inspirational speeches rendered in hip-hop, with a beat and a chiming melody
    and an upbeat rhythm that perfectly punctuate the lyrics, which are possibly the only hip-hop in
    existence that includes the word “portfolio” and the term “LLC.”
    Imma show you how it’s ’bout to go down
    Portfolio fat like them 808 drums
    LLCs, that’s how freedom comes
    Every single deal—ka-ching—outcomes
    “It’s basically telling you how you can make it,” she said. “I’m telling them you got to
    have those LLCs in place, and you got to be able to turn those deals into money
    outcomes. Sometimes you don’t have to move where everybody can see everything.
    You need to move in silence. And when you move in silence, but you move effectively,
    those checks gonna scream loud.”
    Turn a risk into a ring the way I marry sums
    Power moves quiet, then the check screams loud
    Jumpin’ off the jet in designer, head-crowd
    Eagle-eye vision—spot a bag in the cloud
    It is almost certainly the most fun financial advice you will ever hear.
    It is also a personal statement of intent.
    “I have held back. I’ve had a lot of challenges in life, and I have kind of been on the
    back burner because I’m always putting everybody else ahead and helping everyone
    else. But now I’m gonna show you how it’s about to go down for me.”
    Music is something she has always wanted to do, but life, the need to make a living and
    some extreme hardships intervened.
    “I got pregnant at a young age. My mom was murdered when I was five. My
    grandparents raised me and my brother, but they both died by the time I turned 18. So,
    I’ve always been independent and finding my way, and music was what always made
    me feel better.”
    She passed her love of music on to her children, who are now singers and rappers in
    their own right, and she has her own production company, BossCat Entertainment.
    “I pushed them and supported them, and now they’re pushing and supporting me.”
    The tipping point that decided her on doing what she always wanted to do, began during
    the time of COVID, when she discovered she had stomach cancer. She beat it, and
    early this year she celebrated her fifth year of remission.
    One particular moment was when she was playing around with her music with a friend,
    who said, “Oh my God! You should be doing something.”
    “And I said oh, no, that was a dream I had before, and she said, ‘Okay, you’re not too
    old to live your dream.’ And I said, ‘You know what? That’s one of the things I want me
    to do.’ And so now, after overcoming cancer and even going blind in 2023 and getting
    my vision back, everything that I always wanted to do, I’m going to do it.”
    Of the four songs she has just released, “It’s My Birthday” is pure hip-hop celebration,
    with what sounds like a bass sax joining the drum in the beat, and “Pleasure and Pain”
    is an R&B and hip-hop fusion on relationships — the pleasure and the pain.
    The other two, “Money Wave” especially but also “Stone Cold Lover,” are Catrese
    staking out her ground as Queen Diamond.
    “‘Money Wave’ is letting you know I’m coming forth. I’m wearing the crown, and it is the
    Queen Diamond era.”
    In “Stone Cold,” the singer is talking to a lover, but warning him, too.
    “I’m trying to reach my goals, and although I may want someone to be beside me, and I
    may care about you, you can’t let your emotions get involved, because I’m on a
    mission.”
    I’ma show you how it’s ’bout to go down—
    Risin’ to the top, we don’t play ’round—
    Money wave comin’, watch me surf that 
    “Money Wave” is all about the mission, and money is a big part of that, but it’s not
    everything.
    “I’m about building a legacy,” she said. “When you leave this earth, what do you leave
    behind? I’m not talking about things that can disappear. Materialistic things, they can be
    dissolved. How have you impacted somebody else’s life, through inspiration, through
    words, through motivation, through music?”
    And, the music is also about fun, which comes out when you ask her what she wants to
    do with it, where she wants to go with it.
    “I want to have fun with it. I want to be able to reach a vast amount of people, share my
    stories through my songs, because it’s very relatable to a lot of things that people deal
    with in their life, and I want to be encouraging.”

    Spotify
    Youtube
    Spellboundpic Twitter


    BioPamela Edwards McClafferty didn’t grow up hearing war stories. Her father, a WWII veteran,
    lived in silence with his memories. She noticed that her father-in-law, the quiet sailor, also
    endured as did many other veterans she met. The silence of these men and women is the spirit
    behind the haunting ballad, “SOLDIERS NOT FORGOT.”
    Released just before Memorial Day, this is a song giving voice to what generations of veterans
    couldn’t say out loud. It is a tribute “to my father,” Pamela says, “and all who now defend and
    did defend and protect our country.”
    While working on the musical Artland, with Stanley Clarke, the lyrics of this song lingered as she
    kept thinking about soldiers returning from war. Who did they talk to? How did they feel? How
    lonely they must have been. This was long before therapy apps or terms like PTSD.
    “SOLDIERS NOT FORGOT” is a slow burn. Singer Lain Roy, whose family has a military
    background, carries the track with a voice that blends soulful grit (reminiscent of John Legend)
    with deep feeling and memory. As the song reaches its climax, Roy soars into a sustained high
    note as the music drops out. It’s pure emotion:
    In peace, we soldiers live like other men
    Yet a hint, a sound, fans memory’s embers again.
    “I hope that SOLDIERS NOT FORGOT helps veterans heal from such traumatic experiences of
    war, helps to raise awareness of the soldier’s true stories, and shows the impact war has on our
    military members.”
    Also performing on the track is Tzuriel Tong, whose piano and cello work weave around Roy’s
    voice with sparse elegance. Tong plays piano and cello and mixed and mastered the track.
    Michael Parnell was the arranger.
    The song’s co-producer, Pamela’s partner, Mark McClafferty, feels the weight of the song, too.
    His father served on the USS Laffey in WWII — known as “the ship that would not die.” His
    father never spoke about the war until he read the lyrics of this song. “My Dad got emotional. It’s
    the first time I had ever seen him cry,” Mark said.
    “SOLDIERS NOT FORGOT” has that kind of power. It opens doors slammed shut by society.
    Not for explanation, but for recognition. For remembrance. For release.
    “Above all, this song is a gift to all veterans, to their families and all people who wonder what
    happens to the men and women after their uniforms come off,” Pamela says, “because even
    decades later, for many veterans, the war never ends:
    We fight to the death, we fight to live
    That’s our Hell, for others to live
    That’s what we give
    With “Soldiers Not Forgot,” McClafferty has carved out a space for silence to speak. And for all
    of us, the recipients of the sacrifice of veterans, to finally hear it.

    American Artist MAL€K Releases New Single “Toast
    to That,” a Genre-Bending Celebration of
    Serendipitous Connection

    Bio
    West Coast artist MAL€K (born Kalin Curran) returns with “Toast to That,” a magnetic
    lead single that weaves hip-hop, pop, and elements of country swing. Building on the
    emotional depth of his previous work, the track leans into a narrative of unexpected
    connection, capturing that surreal moment when a stranger becomes something more.
    The track is a nod to fate, flirtation, and the cosmic odds of real chemistry, all set
    against a cross-genre backdrop that reflects MAL€K’s boundary-pushing musical
    instincts.
    “It’s about that kind of unexpected connection that forms, and moves you so much that
    you want to celebrate it, acknowledge it, or appreciate it in some way,” shared MAL€K.
    In many ways, this single also serves as a toast to MAL€K’s artistry and technical
    prowess, not only highlighting his skill as a writer and storyteller but also underscoring
    his evolution into a fully self-sufficient artist. By overseeing every stage of the creative
    process—from production and mixing to mastering—MAL€K crafts a distinctive sonic
    landscape, defying genre conventions. “Toast to That” exemplifies his meticulous
    craftsmanship, marrying narrative depth with innovative production to deliver a cohesive
    and compelling work that cements his place as a contemporary artist.
    “Years ago, I let someone work on my vocals and was not pleased with the results, so I
    promised myself from that moment I would learn what I needed to, I promised myself
    that no one else would touch my voice or sound, but me!” said MAL€K
    “Toast to That” is the lead track from MAL€K’s third album, The Never Ending Story Part
    III: The Rolling Stone, set to release on May 31st. This album delivers a cinematic sonic
    punch, immersing listeners in a vivid, fictional chapter of MAL€K’s life—a restless
    “rolling stone” with a bottle in one hand and a mic in the other, embodying a rockstar-
    popstar hybrid caught between chaotic highs and haunting truths.
    The record journeys through contrasting scenes: from whiskey and picklebacks to
    serene countryside escapes; from backstage mayhem to the sting of front-page
    heartbreaks; from electrifying live shows under neon lights to lost nights battling inner
    demons disguised as dreams. Fans can look forward to one more album before this
    Never Ending Story saga reaches its powerful conclusion.
    “It picks up where I left off in The Never Ending Story Part II, so this is meant to be
    played top to bottom, like a movie or story,” explained MAL€K.

    Bio
    Win Obami is a French-American artist from Nanterre, France who now resides in Los
    Angeles, California. He has survived a rough childhood, growing up by himself in a
    dangerous environment thanks to his love for music. He makes music in both the R&B
    and Rap lanes but he’s also carving a path in an entirely new genre that he created
    himself. The name of the genre is “Soulflow,” and it blends elements from Soul, R&B
    and Rap. By taking strategic elements from each of these genres, he’s able to craft melodic flows
    that seamlessly float between both rapping and singing with emotional weight and
    depth. His latest single, titled “Feel Rick Ross,” features Rick Ross and finds Win in the
    rap lane but he has more in store.
    Win’s single “Feel Rick Ross” features a braggadocious verse from the legendary Miami
    rapper which pairs well with the confident and upbeat production. Win’s goal was to
    make people feel motivated and energetic with the song. However, his verse offers
    something more layered.Throughout his verse, he calls out the behavior of rappers who lack authenticity while also asserting his own rap skills. Writing this verse for the track was not a challenge for Win.
    “I just hear the beat and the rhythm and then write the lyrics.” he said.
    While this single showcases Win’s rapping abilities, he prefers singing.
    “I prefer R&B because it’s easier for me to express my feelings in that style.” he said.
    Before transitioning to rap, Win was doing covers of R&B and Pop songs at local shows
    from the years 2015-2017. He also was singing from ages 11 through age 15 and
    began to truly develop his abilities by himself at age 12. Even before this, he was
    singing around his household at age 7 and his Mom also played R&B there.
    With his foundation in singing, it’s only right that Win would move on to create a new
    genre entirely that combines techniques he’d been utilizing with ones he’s picked up
    from rapping. His musical talent has been a constant throughout the years of his life,
    even though he’s still young.
    Win Obami was born September 28, 2003, making him 21 years old as of today. The
    fact he created a new genre at this young age is not only a testament to his musical
    ability but a feat that is uncommon for musically inclined people in general. As
    previously stated, the name of the genre is “Soulflow.”
    “Soulflow” is defined as a “genre-defying sound that blends the heartfelt emotion and
    melodic richness of classic soul and R&B vocals with the rhythmic complexity and lyrical
    flow of modern Rap.” However, Win did not purposely create this genre, it just
    happened naturally through an AI tool analysis of his vocal style and techniques coming
    up with a name for it and people’s observations of his voice.
    “My friends and professionals in the music industry always said my voice was unique
    and different. At the same time, it didn’t fit in the traditional sound of Soul, R&B or Rap. I
    decided to just combine them all.” he said.
    The analysis stated that Win’s vocal style in the Soulflow genre can adapt to a plethora
    of production styles and reshape them emotionally. It is a genre that focuses on a
    connection to the heart and the soul.
    The melodic aspects of Soulflow create a hypnotic and meditative feeling as the listener
    is taken on the emotional journey through Win’s vocal stylings. Additionally, Win also
    created the subgenre, “Pop Soulflow”, which takes the core elements from the genre
    and makes them more accessible for a wider audience through catchy melodies and
    upbeat pop production elements.
    In addition to making music, Win Obami is also the head of the music label Icey
    Recording. By releasing his music through this label Win maintains control of it.
    Interestingly enough, he wasn’t the founder of the label but took over as lead once the
    original lead, who was also his mentor, departed.
    “It’s not hard to run it because I can produce my own songs myself. I’m focused on
    making the music now and will make the necessary connections for marketing next.” he
    said. Win Obami has plans to release more music this year. The music could be in the Rap or
    R&B lane but more than likely, he will continue to focus on the genre he created -
    Soulflow.
    “Feel Rick Ross” is available on streaming services now.
    You can stay up to date with all the happenings at Win Obami’s music label, Icey
    Recording, on these platforms.

  • Creator to Creators S7 Ep 36 Saint Tatum
    YouTube
    Spotify


    BioSanitatem is a Latin word meaning “soundness of mind.”
    Saint Tatum is a Canadian rapper making sounds for your mind.
    The connection? Saint Tatum, born Benjamin Michael Scott, borrowed from the Latin for his
    artist name, inspired by the healing positivity of the ancient term.
    At 16 years old, and having just released his first mixtape, Are You Awake Yet, he hasn’t had
    much time to build a music career. But Saint Tatum is already making his mark. His new work is
    gaining an international audience, making it clear that the sky's the limit for the young artist.
    Are You Awake is made up of six tracks that explore emotion and atmosphere. He creates in his
    garage studio using a Mac and the online digital audio workstation BandLab. While he likes the
    DAW’s interface and effects, he has also found collaborators through the platform’s interactive
    features.
    Saint Tatum’s approach to lyrics puts emotion before storytelling. “I really resonate off of
    feeling,” he says. In practice, this means a layered approach to sound, contrasting positive and
    negative voices and energies.
    While some lyrics are pre-written, like for tracks “The Mirage” and “Don’t Ask Me Why,” on
    others he takes a looser approach. “I just kinda let the bars come to me rather than overthinking
    them,” he says, describing his approach as like painting a picture.
    On the mixtape, Saint Tatum worked with YouTube beatmakers Auxiliary Beats, Vinnyx.Prod,
    2Facest, Yakinata, Goth Helma, and James J.
    The EP’s title, Are You Awake Yet, comes from a personal place of self-determination — and
    self-discovery. “I was going through a point in my life where I was… doing a bunch of not great
    things,” he says. By making a conscious decision to move away from negativity and pride, he
    was able to break out of a cycle: “I realized staying the same was wasting my time, and change
    was the only way forward.”
    This personal journey is what makes Are You Awake Yet so compelling. Even when Tatum’s
    voice is buried under layers of reverb or melted into a dreamy beat, tracks like “Love It Like
    That” pulse with vulnerability. If his music sounds like mumble rap, it’s because he wants it to —
    or, as he puts it, “mumble trap.” Artists like Lil Skies, Lil Xan, and Rae Sremmurd were major
    influences. But Saint Tatum is not copying. He’s channeling.
    “I love making people feel the same way I did when I heard some of my favorite artists,” he
    says. “That changed my life. I want to give that back.”
    Saint Tatum is completely independent — no label, no manager, no PR team — and he is
    already thinking big. He’s got an eye on the long game, and a clear sense of who he is as an
    artist. “Even if nobody listens, I’ll still be making music. Living without being who I truly am would
    take everything away from me.”
    For now, his focus is on connecting with listeners all over the world. Fans far and wide are
    responding to the positive and healing sounds in the musical paintings of Saint Tatum.
    With a new mixtape ready to drop in the coming weeks, interested listeners should follow Saint
    Tatum today. Don’t miss your chance to get an early seat on the bandwagon of this rising star.
