Let me re-introduce to you one of the smoothest vocalist in hip hop today, Blxst

It took Finesse2tymes just 90 days to remix his life, following five years in prison. The Memphis, Tennessee native (turned Houston resident) not only repaired broken relationships, but he inked a deal with Mob Ties/Atlantic Records and recorded arguably some of the best music in his career.

Born and raised on the East Side of Memphis, most of Finesse’s young adulthood was surrounded by the walls of a prison cell. His first prison stint happened at 14 and he was in and out of prison until his most recent release.

At 21, he started formally making music, forming a collective called Memphis Greatest Underrated with several local artists including Blac Youngsta and Moneybagg Yo.

The crew released a self-titled EP in 2019 while Finesse was serving his final stint in prison as the group disbanded.

While away, Finesse perfected his craft, writing rhymes and plotting his next moves to ensure this prison sentence will be his last.

He found a way to keep track of the major players in the industry who followed his music. Among them was Mob Ties Founder and CEO J Prince Jr., son of legendary Rap-A-Lot kingpin J. Prince, who later signed him.

Few can comprehend Finesse’s hustle, yet it’s a combination of age, experience, understanding, and healing. Finesse2Tymes' most recent project and Mixtape "90 Days", is an autobiographical work that tells the story of his life and career.

You know that one friend who floats through life with a beaming smile, doesn’t sweat the small stuff, and uplifts you whenever you need it? That’s Tai’Aysha. A free spirit in the truest sense, the Boston-born and Miami-based Dominican-Cambodian singer, songwriter, and dancer radiates confidence, speaks without filter, and might just brighten your day. Her music moves through R&B, pop, bachata, merengue, reggae, and hip-hop moods with a nimble and natural elasticity tailormade for the dancefloor. After amassing half-a-million followers on social media, attracting super producer and Icon Music Group founder Steve Morales [Enrique Iglesias, Céline Dion, Beyoncé] to her corner, and landing a deal with Atlantic Records, she introduces herself on a series of 2022 singles.

“My music should make you feel fun, excited, and sexy,” she exclaims. “Everything is so serious all of the time. So, I’m going to make you dance.”

Tai’Aysha started dancing almost as soon as she could walk. Born to a Dominican mother and Cambodian father, she recalls “crazy family parties” as a kid where she absorbed rhythm from every angle. Growing up, she followed her mom’s lead, watching her dance bachata and other styles. She also knew exactly what she wanted… “I’m the first person in my family on either side to be born in the United States,” she says. “So, everybody would always ask, ‘Tai’Aysha, what are you going to do? Are you going to be a doctor? Are you going to be a lawyer?’ I’m like, ‘No guys, I’m going to be a superstar’,” she grins.

She lit up every room she walked into and started modeling post-high school. In between a day job at a flower shop, her dance videos gained traction as she built an audience of hundreds of thousands on Instagram and local buzz from her home city. Seeing the bubbling local excitement around Tai’Aysha, Morales felt prompted to reach out. He recognized her talent as a dancer and believed it indicated a certain “tone” as a vocalist. Turns out, he was very right. After one Miami session, he signed her to Icon Music Group and recorded with her at a prolific pace. She then quickly inked a deal with Atlantic Records.

Inspired by Lauryn Hill, Rihanna, and Sade, she cultivated a simmering, seductive, and scorching signature style of her own. “Honey, I do a little bit of everything,” she elaborates. “I love dancehall, and I love reggaeton. So, I’m combining heavy beats with pop elements. It’s meant to be hot, flowy, and rhythmic.”
