What is Misfit Tunes
Misfit Tunes is an organization
dedicated to
promoting domestic as
well as international Indie and/or
little know artists from all genres of
music to the awaiting masses. We
use several vehicles to promote the
artists’ work, such as:
Misfit Tunes’ blog, which can be
found at www.misfittunes.blogspot.
com , receives thousands of views
daily from all around the country.
We also boast international visitors
from places like Canada, the UK,
Ireland, and Jamaica, to name a
few. We update the blog weekly
with new music and videos.
Why does Misfit Tunes do it
We do it for two main reasons:
1. We do it for the LOVE of the
music. The current top 40 selection
leaves Misfit Tunes wanting
more from music, which is why we
promote indie and/or little known
artists. The music industry has
become so saturated with clones
that the music has gotten lost in
translation or merely forgotten. We
believe it our duty to keep good
music relevant!
2. We do it to change the industry.
It is our belief that the industry has
become too much about money and
no longer about the art of creating
music. With the current state of
the economy and the advent of so
many free internet tools to make
music, it’s now the perfect time to
usher industry change.
Now that you know who Misfit
Tunes are and what we do, we
would like to invite you to build a
www.MisfitTunes.com
wonderful working relationship.
Again our services are completely
FREE of cost for artist. We would
appreciate you sending us your
music, videos, upcoming events,
pictures, and/or any other information
you would like us to share. By
sending an email to Misfit Tunes at
submissions@misfittunes.com. We
request that you to ask your fans,
followers, and supporters to support
Misfit Tunes. By increasing
our supporters, we can reach more
people. The more people we can
reach the bigger Misfit Tunes will
grow. Our growth will ensure more
people will be exposed to your music,
which in turn, will potentially
increase your fan base.
We would also like to request any
promotional merchandise you can
spare, as we would like to begin
running contests to get people to
engage more with the artists as
well as Misfit Tunes. The more
people we get to engage with Misfit
Tunes, the better we can serve the
indie market. We fully understand
Misfit Tunes need the support of
artists to reach our full potential as
we are nothing without the music!
How can I as an artist support Misfit
Tunes
· Keep us informed on your
career by emailing us an artist
bio, your music, pictures, videos,
and any information on upcoming
projects.
. Encourage your fans to support
Misfit Tunes. The more people we
have supporting Misfit Tunes the
more people with which to share
not just your music, but also the
other artists’ music we support.
. Provide Misfit Tunes with exclusives.
Let us be the first to break
a new video or song, as well as
details on upcoming events or new
projects.
. Invite us to events. If you are
having an album release, performance,
and/or any event you’d like
us to cover, send us press credentials
or put us on your guest list. If
we are in your area we will gladly
enjoy covering your event. We
want to support all events, however
that can become very costly potentially
taking funds away from the
services we provide since we don’t
charge for our services.
. Make Misfit Tunes your #1
source for indie news, music, and
videos.
Remember, we do this for the love
of the music! So if you love your
music and want to support an organization
that will love your music
as much as you do, look no further
than Misfit Tunes!

KNOW
Where were you born/raised I was
born in Peeskill New York. Raised
all over the south. It was interesting
to say the least
What are your influences Musically.
All of gospel. Rock&Roll. John
Legend. Kanye West. Mos Def.
Kelvin Lee. Outkast. My mother.
Langston Hughes. I really can go
on and on.
How did you come up with your
stage name The Most High had
given me so much magic that I
could never be put in one category.
I needed a name that represented
that. Therefore whatever I need
“iAm”.
What is your most recent project I
have an EP on iTunes called “The
Last Night of Billy Lyons” the
album this summer is “Tale of a
Wolf”
How would you describe your
sound/music storytelling/ Rock&-
Soul. Man is there any other lol
What are your short term and long
term goals Career wise, short
term
Let’s finish this album. And my
short films. I would love to perform
at the Afropunk festival this year.
Long term. Make history. Make art.
Make love. Make a difference.
Do you want to sign a major deal
or stay independent and have total
control over your music
Major deal influence and power.
With the indie money lol. Control
is an illusion. The only true choice
you have is what purpose you will
serve.
Do you believe artists should be
role models as well as volunteer
and perform community service in
their communities
Role models yes. Idols...no. Everyone,
regardless of their craft,
should a humanitarian at the core
What can someone expect when
they come watch you perform
To have an amazing time. It’s really
corny, but I want them to feel it.
What made you get into the music
industry I’m a storyteller as are
we all. That is an avenue in which
I can express what I feel my people
need to hear.

would you be doing Teaching

know when you
have “made it”
When I don’t
have to worry
about anything
but the business
of creating art.
What kind of
impact if any do
you want your
music to have on
your fans
I want them to
know what they
are, and what
they can do. I
want to inspire in
a way that no one
has before. Look
at me and know
you do anything.
What is one thing
your fans/supporters
would be
surprised to find
out about you
I am a nerd. I

KNOW
I was born and raised in Baltimore,
Md! Aye Bmore I love a lot
of artists, but musically my influences
have been Michael Jackson,
Tupac Shakur and Lauryn Hill. I
also love Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. and Michael Jordan. All of these
people possess their on unique
thing, but they all share a passion
that I can relate to.
My stage name includes my initials
and I added a twist to it, I love
to write songs and I think highly of
myself, so I gave myself the nickname
DaHitwryter!
Tupac Shakur! Made me get into
the music industry. I saw him when
I was about 9 years old and he gave
me so much life! Just seeing how
passionate and versatile he was,
made me want to do it too.
If I was not making music Basketball
was my first love, unfortunately
I got hit by the injury
bug one too many times, but my
hoop dream was strong lol.
My music is a journey about
the things I’ve faced as a lesbian.
I’m a storyteller so each time you
press play, you will definitely
take a trip, as I lyrically paint
pictures in your mind! When
someone comes to one of my
shows they should expect ENER-
GY! And again, we will go on a
journey, as I tell my audience a
story.
Verses The Mixtape is the latest
project! Thanks to everyone who
has taken the time to listen and
share it. I actually released it 2
years ago, but I didn’t have the
same opportunities that I have
now so no one really knew about
Verses The Mixtape
it. Shout out to my team Yag Elite
and Caterina, because of them, a lot
of people are hearing what some
call my best work.
I want my music to inspire people,
and get them through whatever
they are dealing with. I want my
music to make people think and
I want my songs to decrease homophobia.
There is nothing wrong
with homosexuality, except the hate
that the LGBTQ people, HUMAN
BEINGS, face on a day to day
basis in this society.
In high school I knew that I
didn’t want to sign to a major,
unless I reached a point where I
could go in calling the shots, and
not 50/50, on some 80/20, maybe
70/30 level. I’ll never give anyone
the rights to control MY VISION!
I already made it! That has to be
your first thought before you do
anything. Think it, be it! Making it
is coming out of the womb.
I think the non gay supporters
would be surprised by how much
I embrace my femininity! I love
being a woman, I just love men’s
clothing.

No Life Jacket
drink no
chaser,” the first
“Straight
line to an intoxicating
EP that is just that. No
watered down
music to be found
anywhere near
the duo known
as BOOMscat
nor their debut
offering “No Life
Jacket.”
The duo is comprised
of Asha
Santee (BOOM) is
a multi-instrumentalist/producer,
and Jennifer Patience
Rowe (scat)
is a vocalist/songwriter
coming to
you from the talent
hot bed known
as the DMV (DC/
MD/VA).
“No Life Jacket”
picks up of the
bass-line set by
it’s 2013 predecessor
and the duo’s
first EP, “The West Wing.”
Returning home from their
Mid-West tour the duo received
word they had been
selected to receive a House
Artist Grant, which allowed
them the opportunity to produce
and record a new project
pro bono from House Studio.
House Studio is arguably the
#1 creative studio in Washington,
DC. giving the EP a
sound that fills you with warm
joyous bubbling that tickles
your ears etches a smile on
your face and cause your heart
to flutter.
“No Life Jacket” contains
six songs:
(1) “Simple
Things” is a feel
good track that
list the simple
things that make
BOOMscat happy.
These are the
simple things
green lights, good
parking spots,
direct deposits you
get the idea features
RAtheMC a
DMV music scene
veteran as well as
a House Studio
Alumni. She raps
about her simple
things a of how
God has blessed
her with her talents
which affords
her the ability to
pay off bills in full
for her mom
(2) “Private
Show” is a sexy naughty track
with lyrics like “tell me you
can crawl I’d make you beg
for it” and “touch you in your
favorite spot” leads the listner
on a sensual ride.

BUZZWORTHY
(3) “Karma” is a scat driven
track intertwined with a melodic
chorus.
(4) “Alright” is a light
breeze on a hot summer day
it blows through the listener
leaving them feeling refreshed.
It features yet another
House Studio alum, Joe Maye
and is hands down one of the
best songs on No Life Jacket
followed closely by “Next
Time.”
(5) “Next Time” is a tribal
track with lyrics like “I don’t
know what it looks like what
it feels like what it is but i
know when i get there when
I find it it is for me.” “Next
Time” is tied for the honors
of best song on the EP with
“Alright.”
(6) “Magic in the Moment”
the songs lyrics “life ain’t
simple but you gotta keep
raising the bar... the future
not promised cant dwell on
whats to come” encourages
the listener to appreciate every
moment for there is magic
in every moment that can be
missed if you get caught up in
the noise instead of flowing
with the music.
“No Life Jacket” is the
perfect soundtrack to any day.
Once you press play you may
want to go ahead and hit the
repeat button as this is one
you won’t mind hearing over
and over again.
The duo that is BOOMscat
is an intoxicating elixir that
eliminates all drama and
stress.
“No Life Jacket” has easily
become one of my favorites
projects of 2014. It is a project
that proves the artists worthy of
major BUZZ!!!

Misfit Tunes’ Find O
1st Lady of HD Society

www.MisfitTunes.com

ne Time In The A
During the 10th Anniversary
A3C festival I
had the pleasure of being
introduced to the First
lady of High Definition
Society, The 5’’6 beauty
lurked in the shadows
waiting for Mr. High
Definition, Laelo pass
her the mic and set free
to torch the stage.
Watching her ready to
rip the stage I could not
help but think oh I hope
she is not just another
pretty rapper thats going
to rap about make up,
how good her cookies
are, and/or the name
brands painted on her
curves.
Just when I had resolved
to hit the bar
while the crowd was
mesmerized by the pretty
rapper Laelo passed
the mic to Nique Goldi
and it was like a bomb
exploded! She growled
bars that let you know
she far from just another
pretty rapper here to
stroke the male ego and
get by on her looks.
Her performance on
that night proved how
and why she is the First
Lady of the powerhouse
known as HD Society
whose roster is comprised
of a whose who
true lyricist.
If you do not want
to take my word for it
check out “Pieces” a
www.MisfitTunes.com
synthesized pop track with an
infectious hook and “Did It For
Love” a call to arms in the name
of love that Nique Goldi attacks
with a cadence much like an
automatic weapon.
Nope Nique Goldi is not just
another pretty rapper determined
on making it on her looks she is
a ferocious MC you commands
the stage is stilettos and demands
your attention with witty
wordplay.
For these reasons and countless
number of others I would
strong advise you get hip quick
because this star is rising!

KNOW
NAHNAH CORDE’ ........
“NahNah” Derived From
The Days I Played The
Drums For A Local Female “Go-
Go” Band Called “Necessary
Kaos” In 2009/2010. One Year We
Had A Manager By The Name,
“Reflexx”, Who Gave Each Member
A Stage Name By What He
Seen In Their Traits Or Characteristics.
At That Time, I Was Developing
Into The Drummer I Aspired
To Be, But In A “Group”, I Had
To Always Consider The Opinions
Of Others. That Didn’t Always Go
As Smooth lol, But When It Was
Something I Didnt Agree With
Or Stand For, I Was Quick To Be
Like “Nahhhhh Im Not Settling
For That” Or “Nahhhhh Let Me
Do ME”. So Reflexx Named Me
“NahNah”. “ Corde’ “ Came Later
When I Plunged Back Into The
Rapping Scene. It’s The Masculinity
Of My Real Name “ Charne’ “;
With My Hardcore Image/Lyrics,
I Wanted A Name That Not Only
Stood Out But Matched My Style.
Also I Wanted Something Sharp
& Sexy For The Ladies lol......
Corde’! See It Even Rolls Off
Your Tounge Sexy lol.
I was Born In Prince George’s
County Maryland, But Raised In
The Metropolitan Areas Of The
DMV. S/O To The “Southside”
(Southeast Washington DC )
Where I Was Conceived lol And
Lived For A While I Got Out On
My Own!
My Influences Are My Relationship
With God, My Struggles,
My Triumphs, My Environment,
My Immediate Family, And My
Passion For The Art Of Music.
All These Influences Help Shape
The Woman I Have Grown To
Be; Moreover, These Influences
Are Inspiration & Topics For My
Music!
I got into the music industry To
Make Up For The Seldom Females
In The Artistry & Industry, But
That Was The Case When I Was
In My Adolescent Years. Now,
Female Artist Are Coming Out In
Bundels lol. Also, Im Proud And
Comfortable To See Women Coming
Into The Game As They Are
And How They Want; Especially,
Those Who Consider Themselves
“Dominant”. Moreover, I Wanted
To Bring Originality And Truth
(Spirituality) Back To The Industry.
Nowadays, A Lot Of Artist
Are Capitalizing Off I Wanted
Another’s Work Or Success And
Calling It Their Own. Majority Of
The Artist Today Are Also Blinded
By The Fame, Fortune, Fashion,
Drugs, & Sexual Content Of The
Industry. They Neglect Their Truth
With Lies, Substituting God Glorification
With The Idolization Of
Man Or Self, And Music Seldom
Inspires Or Teach Anymore; It Encourages
Vanity. “ I Want To Save
Whats Left Of HipHop”
My Sound Is Original! Some
Might Categorized It As “Old-
Skool” For I Give That Raw/
Hardcore Flow, But My Words Are
Filled With Intellect And Passion;
Moreover, My Melodies Are Chosen
By Whether It’s Goin Create
A Nostalgic Feeling. “Ima lyricists
Not A Rapper.”
If i wasn’t making music I Would
Be Doing What Im Already Doing
Now Aside Of Music And Thats
Driving Buses/Trucks/Tractors. I
Am CDL Certified With 4 years In
www.MisfitTunes.com
23

The Transportation Field. I Love
Driving!!! If The Music Dont Work
For Me, I Aspire To Buy My Own
Van/Truck/Rig And Start My Own
Transportation Company One Day
God Willing!!!!!
My Short Term Goals Is To
Finish My 1st Upcoming Mixtape
“Split Realities”! Eventhough I
Been Rapping And Writting Since
I Was 6 years Old, I Always Completed
Singles But Never An EP.
However, My Long Term Goals
Are Far More Complex. I Just Dont
Have A Talent And Passion For
“Rapping”, But I Also Have Talents
And Passions For Drumming,
Written & Communications, And
Activism. So Not Only Do I Want
To Show & Teach The Musician
Side Of Me, But I Plan To Get
Into Journalism; Start Small With
A Blog Or Column. Also, Song
Write For Other Artist. Moreover,
Speak And Reach Out On Causes
& Effects In Our Communities &
World. Nonetheless, As A Lesbian,
I Want To Make Impacts On The
LBGT Community For They Have
My Undivided Support!
When I Can Afford For Both My
Mother & Grandmother To Stop
Working And Live As Comfortable
As Me! Lol, Real Live Though!
Eventhough We All Want To Be
Able To Help Out Our Loved Ones,
It’s Not About The Money. When
Somebody Comes Up To Me And
Say “Aye NahNah Your Music
Really Touched Me And Helped
Me Get Through Some Tuff Times”
Then I Have Made It!
I Want To Stay Independent And
Have Total Control Over My Music
& Brand. I Believe Thats Apart Of
The Success Story When It Comes
To Artist Development, And Of
Course, I Believe It’s Better For
Business Relationships
The Impact I Aim For My Music
24
To Have On My Fans Is To Have
A Diverse Range Of Projects That
All Demographics Can Relate Too.
Also, A Wide Range Of Topics/
And Or Situations They Can Relate
Too! For Example, How 2Pac Had
Songs Like “Brenda’s Got A Baby”
For Persons Goin Through Rough
Pregnancies Or Abortion Crisis.
“Keep Ur Head Up” For The Persons
Who Feel Like Giving Up Or
Down On Themselves. “How Do U
Want It” For The Ladies And The
Freaks lol Etc.
My Most Recent Project Is A
Track Called “ANTIDOTE” Off Of
Lil Kim’s “Drugs” Instrumental.
I Haven’t Dropped It Yet; Its Still
Getting Mixed/Mastered, I Want To
Make Sure Its To Perfection For I
Am A Perfectionist And My Biggest
Critic. However, I Do Have A
Finished Product; I Have An Original
Track Called “NIGHT LYFE”
FT . DOMOFDADISTRICT
(On SoundCloud ). I Won 1st Place
In The Coast2Coast DMV Edition
For This Song. Now That Im Back
Off My Hiatus, I Can Finally Work
On Shooting The Visuals For It. Its
Goin Be Epic!
You Can Expect Explosive Passion!
My Words Personified! More
Of A Movie To Narrate My Story
Then Just A Show!
My Fans And Supporters Would
Be Surprised To Find Out That Im
Very Sensitive When It Comes To
My Work. Im Secure With It But
Im Quick To Defend, Explain, Or
Justify Why I Do What I Do, When
I Do It, And How I Do It!
I believe artists should be role
models as well as volunteer who
perform community service in their
communities. Today Kids Dont
Want To Be Doctors & Lawyers
Anymore, They Want To Be Artist
In The Music Industry. So Being
An Artist Today Requires Active
Positive And Influential Roles. My
Main Focus Is The Youth; Giving
Opportunities & Sponsorships To
Upcoming Artist Who May Cant
Afford Things Like Studio Time,
Photoshoots, Videos, Etc. Also, Not
Only Provide Them With Connects/
Tools To Futher Their Artistry, But
The Education, Professionalism,
And Support They Goin Need
Throughout Their Journey!

ONE TO
My
government
name is Arys
Déjan Allen-McPherson.
I was born in Toronto,
ON, Canada but I was raised
in Niagara Falls and many other
places in the Ontario/Toronto area
like Maple (Near Wonderland),
Richmond Hill and Thornhill.
I’ve had many nick names during
my life on this planet...King, Ace,
Nathan (Long Story), Young God,
Just E (Long story as well), LSN
(Light Skinny N***a),...but once I
started perusing music as a career,
I decided to use my 1st and middle
names, enter Arys Déjan.
My influences tend to derive
from what I’ve seen, the youth of
today, my favorite movies and of
course...my twisted mind. My mission
is to spread love through the
music. Make a difference in this so
called “famed world.” Show that if
you build it they will come whoever
“They” are.
If I was not making music I
would work with kids and youth.
At risk youth specifically. Promoting
non-violence withing the
Toronto communities. I’m the
program facilitator at an organization
called LOVE (Leave Out
Violence). I use media arts to channel
through messages/social issues
like bullying, racism, sexism etc in
order to help the youth also make
a difference and to make sure they
don’t go left.
My goal is to master the arts of
business, music and philanthropy...
mesh them all together to become
a super powered, mighty morphine
Jay Z lol
A lot of the projects that I have
26
released have really been to only
test my own waters. Nothing worth
even mentioning nut my upcoming
debut EP - LCBO (Life Can Be
Overwhelming) will be something
that everyone will enjoy.
I know how to connect and be
in tune with the crowd. I think it
also comes from me being a dancer.
I like attention, so I know what
it feels like to crave the attention
from someone else. When your
fans are watching you perform, all
they really want is acknowledgment,
that eye contact, that opportunity
to touch you...even just a
shout out. When I perform, I’m one
with the crowd and my audience.
Plus I’m hype as F**k.
I have not had many performances
I consider myself to be a new
artist. Anything I’ve done in the
past is irrelevant...I do have some
cray stories though for another time
lol. Plus, I have some crazy shows
lined up so I’ll be sure to keep you
in the loop with those. Got share
my music with Misfit Tunes!
I LOVE my music it is varied,
uplifting but vulgar at times,
inspiring and performance worthy.
Without it to be honest, I’d be
dead. Music helped me bring my
thoughts to life. Music is what’s
helping me get through all this war
and anger going on in the world
today.
My music paints a picture thats
shows I’m hurt, but strong. Very
aware of who I am and my surroundings.
Sometimes bitter but
ready to move forward and to
cause some ruckus.
I will know I made it when I am
well known for my story, talents
and the good that I do and difference
that I have made for myself
and trying to make in this world.
When I get that call telling me
that I am leaving Toronto, the
first check that I get from writing
someone else’s hit song, the day
I see billboards with my face and
name on it, and/or the day stadiums
are screaming my name and what I
represent.
On my quest to success I have
my minions I meant team. They
believe in the mission. One thing
that I am missing is a manager to
conduct my train to station MADE
IT!

Vanessa Logan.
I AM I was Born in St.
Andrew Jamaica but raised in Hartford,
Connecticut. My stage name
is V Ne$$. I wanted something
that was true to me and free of any
gimmicks so I decided to use my
nickname V-Ness. My main influence
is art and since it imitates life,
I’d say life is my biggest influence.
I always like to breathe life into
something I’m passionate about.
I’m a performer because I am a
lover of music. I am in love and
have always loved my music. My
music takes me to certain places
I’ve been, situations that have occurred
and just day to day life.
As a Scorpio, I play off of my
mood and it shows through different
songs. I am currently working
on my E.P, G.O.A.L, due to be released
late March. I would have to
say that my sound/music is diverse.
Its a fusion of my Jamaican culture
and love for reggae and my upbringing
in the U.S. along with my
love for REAL hip hop. My lyrics
will definitely say that I’m quite
genuine, playful, serious and fun.
To be honest, it shows my creativity
and my love for hip-hop. I’m a
lover of words so I’m very big on
word play.
My goal is to share my lyrical
genius with the world...to bring
#RealMusic back. If I was not
making music I would be writing
screenplays and selling my artwork.
However, I’m on a mission is
to bring the RealFeel of music back
to the public. I want my fans to be
able to relate to my music, party to
my music, cry to my music...just
be able to say wow, I know exactly
where she’s coming from.
I’ve made many sacrifices for
music. I remember spending a
number of nights at the studio with
my son who who was only 4 years
old at the time. I was working on
my first solo mix tape and had to
do what was necessary to get it
finished. I even ended up including
my son on a couple of hooks for
that project.
I’ve done countless amounts of
live performances from the local
roller skating rink to the Hippodrome
in Springfield, MA where
I opened up for Lil Kim. I’d have
to say that opening for Lil Kim
was the best performance for me
because it was the largest audience
I had ever performed for. My
energy was through the roof and it
only made the audience even more
receptive. As far as for the worst
performance, I’d have to say that it
was one of the first shows I did at a
local club. I was with a team at the
time and having the whole squad
on stage was a no no...the sound
was horrible and I pretty much
was swallowed up by the crowd on
stage. I learned a valuable lesson
that night...less is more. I was apart
of a few teams in the past...but I am
my team now.
Going hard for myself will ensure
I am on a television or arena near
you! Success is when you’re able
to do what you love without worry.
When you can have your craft
work for you...instead of working
for your craft. When I can call my
parents and tell them to quit their
jobs...that’s when I’ll know I have
MADE IT! ~V. Ness

ONE TO
Hi, my name is Christine Harris
I was born/raised in Chicago
il on the low end of the south
side. My influences growing up in
was Aaliyah ,tupac , mc lyte and a
Chicago female rapper chin chilla
meek . I came up with the name lil
baby from the CEO of my music
group when I was younger , and
it fits me so I kept it . Recently
I’ve been working on my mixtape
called “ chiraq’s story (by lil
baby) just basically sharing what
I’ve seen and been threw because
I know a lot of people in the same
boat or who have been .
I enjoy writing music and then
hearing coming out of some headphones
, it feels good to hear your
self and actually make since and be
good at what u do it’s an amazing
feeling. If I wasn’t doing music I’d
be in the criminal justice field. i
like learning new things and understanding
them at that and I can’t sit
down to save my life so I wouldn’t
mind always being on the move.
My music to me is universal , I
feel like it relates to many of the
young community problems ,turn
ups , love , heartaches . My goals
in life is too accomplish being
successful in the music part of the
industry but most of all successful
in life as well, if you don’t have
hope what else is there to have.
This time next year I see myself
somewhere far in my career know ,
hated , loved , and respected that’s
not a prediction either it’s definitely
a fact . I think a great and well
payed off life it’s ahead of me , I
know I’m close to the end of the
tunnel where the light is just need
to take a couple more steps . Success
to me is when you feel comfortable
with what you’ve done
with your talent , when you can sit
back and say to yourself “yeah I
wrote that”then you’ve successfully
made what you’ve been pushing
for .
I know I’ve made it when the
day I shake jayz hand (lol) but I’ll
definitely know when get to sit
at the bet awards and actually be
apart of it.
I’ve performed about 5 to 7 times
. I started rapping in a club in
Markham il called Red diamond,
i was excited and nervous at the
same time before performing a
couple times but I got use to it after
a while. My best performance
was at another club in Markham
named Adrianna’s where I closed
for an Atlanta Artist by the name
of shawty lo . It also was the
worst , Everyone around me got
drunk and I’m not technically a
drinker so I don’t mix with the
alcohol group .
I learned to stay in my zone and
not really letting others Get to me
because I didn’t want it to ruin
my performance , I can tell people
could see it in my face I was kind
of pissed.
I definitely love my music once
I’ve perfected the song got it
mastered down then listen to it , it
make me feel some what powerful
! I love how my mind puts words
and phrases together to make a
whole verse . My music somewhat
saves me from me in a way it’s not
always smiles behind close doors.
I dropped out of high school at
the age of 16 started music at 17
,even though I quit going to school
I’m also still smart with words.
It definitely slowed down a lot of
opportunities for me in life but I’m
still young and there’s not but time
is what you make it.
I’ve been rapping and the First
Lady of a label by the name of
Hitsquad Empire Ent LLC. For
almost 3years . We all have a different
style and mindset on music
but at the end of the day it sounds
amazing coming out the other end
. We are basically a family We’ve
been through it all and made it ,
and I’m glad to say we’re still here
and I think we’re going to be a
success in our own ways.
I want my fans to know no matter
what follow your first mind and
speak your first mind ,never let
anybody tell you that you can’t
achieve things in life that matter
to you and make u feel good about
your self.
I’ve achieved people hearing my
voice and liking it and some dislike
it , I learned if a couple of a
few don’t like you ... You’re doing
something right . ~Lil Baby
