Alias is identified as a word that is used to indicate that a named person is also known or more familiar under another specified name. In music, aliases can be used for a multitude of reasons include: signifying eras of an artist, creating a new identity of an artist or to develop/experiment with a new genre to their audience. Kendrick, Kanye, J. Cole and Pusha T are some of many artists that have aliases that they are commonly known as.

In this episode of the Tempo Tribe hosted by Meron we will be discuss with our cohosts Dylan and Denzel on the alias of an artist and what do they signify for their audiences.

Artists/musicians fall off all the time, whether it be due to controversy, lack of creativity or lack of album sales. Artists may also come back from falling off, perhaps due to getting a stride back in their artist abilities or they may come back from falling off in a completely different avenue (whether it be fashion, business or etc.). In this episode of the Tempo Tribe hosted by our favorite model/DJ, Denzel, we will be discussion with our cohosts Dylan and Meron on what makes an artist fall off? And who has truly fallen off in the industry?

Do you feel like you have impeccable music taste? Then isn't it your responsibility to share it? To educate the unenlightened?! You have a duty to put the people on!

With special guest Sammy (@samraweet), the Daughter of Dallas herself, the Tribe dive deep into their methods in discovering new music and refining their taste, as well as how they convince others to get with the program. Featuring the adventures of DJ Denzy, Baby Tate's genealogy, and the origins of Dylan's R&B love and Meron's J. Cole fandom.

Is mumble rap and trap rap running the rap genre, or is traditional rap still king? Is R&B dead? What is the dominant sound in R&B these days? What about pop?

Boys need love too! Over the years there have been plenty of discussion and studies focused on female body imagery, but what about the fellas? How has the promotion of the buff bods affected how men see themselves?  Was commodifying the male physique a mistake? Is the hypermasculinity in hip hop a factor? And why is Mark Wahlberg to blame?!

We also crack jokes on Ice Spice and Da Baby.

Mumble Rap since its conception in the 2010s has been a prominent subgenre of Rap/Hip-Hop. 

However, with any genre comes those who support or deny the genre. What is unique about mumble rap is its use of production to carry the track.

On the opposite end of hip-hop, Lyricism has been the skeleton of the genre since its conception. 

Many artists have made their mark in the industry including J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac.. the list goes on.

In this episode for the Tempo Tribe, Denzel, Dylan and Meron discuss if Mumble Rap has overshadowed Lyricism in the Rap/Hip-Hop industry?

TikTok has long been an entertaining, short-form video app with many different types of educational, life experiences, and funny moments shared on the platform. The app has also been an important medium in allowing indie artists to share their music with a wider and more relevant audience, including blowing artists up in some cases, such as @in.iko, @taiverdes, and @pinkpantheress. 

But with the ease of sharing content, comes the excessive promotion of new singles by artists backed by record labels. This includes utilizing popular influencers, micro-influencers, and even TikTok execs themselves (!!) to promote new music to the average TikTok user. Tune in as the Tempo Tribe discusses if TikTok is good or bad for the music industry, presently and in the future!

Lately it seems the world over has started to recognize the smooth sounds of Afrobeats, with CKay’s “Love Nwantiti” hitting #1 this year as one of many examples. So the Tribe decided to take a look at back to the Motherland and break it all down based on their own experiences. What is Afrobeats? Which artist are running the genre? Does Ghana even have any artists in play?? Did Drake bring it to the West? And how come East Africa getting left out?! From Fela to Burna we celebrate the most rhythmic and joyous genre around!
