Melodic rap is a genre that combines elements of rap, pop & other genres, to create something fresh & exciting. It is characterized by fast-paced songs with complex rhyme schemes & lots of hooks. It has been growing in popularity globally, especially in Canada & the US, where big acts like Post Malone, Juice WRLD & 21 Savage have become superstars.

Still digesting the news of the new album, from the man who single-handedly brought the art form of rap music back from the dead, the world is still trying to figure out exactly what MGE is all about. Is he a rock star rapper, a pop rapper, a country rapper, or something else entirely? The truth is, MGE is all of those things & more. He’s a master of melodic rap with the skills to match.

Talking about his recent work, he said, “You all are probably wondering what this project is all about. Maybe you’re even a little skeptical. I can understand those feelings. After all, I’ve been writing rap music for years. Give it some time; the genius will dawn on you!”

Responding to a question about his childhood, he said, “When I was younger, I always wanted to be a writer. I spent hours, even days, sitting in cafés, staring out of the window, imagining what it would be like to be a famous writer. I imagined receiving letters from fans, who would tell me how much they loved my work. I imagined being able to write without censorship, without fear of being deemed crazy or offensive.”

Where I wanna be in 10 years?”I want to be known not only locally & in the states, but also to have shows all over the globe. I want to have an estate. My goals are to have clothing, my own alcohol, & just a billion-dollar brand”.

For years, we’ve been waiting for someone to bring that DC sound to hip hop. Someone who’s fresh & not afraid to use their voice to speak truth to power. Enter Big Gilly, she’s the real deal.When we first heard Big Gilly’s Music, we felt like we were listening to a DC rapper that we’d heard about, but never actually seen. We’ve been a fan ever since. Over the past few months, we witnessed the rapper transform into a performer. She’s taken risks, she’s changed her style, & she’s delivered an incredible performance.

“Go-Go music has been the heart of the DMV for a while. From Chuck Brown to Sugar Bear to EU to RE to the bouncebeat with TCB, BYB and JYB then TOB & Reaction. We have had a wave of great music. That’s the reason a lot of my songs are heavily Go-Go influenced. I want my bars and gogo to coexist and make the most beautiful harmonies. The world is going to know it’s DC all up & through me. Go-Go music became my heartbeat & hip hop is definitely the blood pumping into my veins”, she said.

Talking about her idol Nicki Minaj, she said, “The first time I heard Nicki, was on a Come up dvd. She was raw & had several metaphors. Her punchlines hit every time. She was the pretty girl, who could hold her own, in a male dominated industry. Her fans are unmatched. I want the same thing; for me to have fans that are that unparalleled & unwavering. Kim had the sexy female rapper down, Missy the creativity, Trina that down south sexual edge, Salt N Pepa had lyrics & sex appeal, Queen Latifah & MC Lyte lyrical queens, Foxy was hardcore & hit different her tone was different. I just wanna be on the Mount Rushmore of the greatest”

Where I wanna be in 10 years? Rich, wealthy & healthy

Fat Yee is a rapper & visual artist whose work pulses with energy & emotion. His music is a reflection of his experiences as a suvivor & an independent man in the hip-hop scene.

He’s the type of artist who makes you feel things without saying a word. He’s been taking inspiration from the likes of Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole, but his music is uniquely his own.

He is making waves in the hip-hop scene. His success has been met with both support & skepticism from the community. Some say that he is being exploited & that he does not deserve this amount of fame.

His rise has been a long time coming: he first started writing rhymes at the age of 12 & went on to hone his craft in the underground hip-hop scene. Over the years, he has dreamed of sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Nicki Minaj & Kendrick Lamar. We hope it becomes true for you, my man!

“Nobody can stop me, not the haters, not the enemies. No one!” He said, then added, “Music is my savior & I will always appreciate it for giving me a new life. Now I owe it to music that I spend my life making it better. I hope to become one of the biggest names in my industry & give back to the people that helped me. Also, I hope to give back to my community & help struggling artists that need a solid platform.”

Popular Releases: “Dead Wrong” from the album “Underrated”

My vision: Become a great & successful artist, that opens the door for many more creatives & unboxed artists

Inspiration artists: All artists inspire me in some form or fashion

Where I wanna be in 10 years?“I would like to be settled in a house, in the hills, with my music & my businesses flourishing”

Hey, I’m a 34-year-old artist & my biggest motivation so far is learning enough, to give it all back to thecommunity. Honcho said, with a nervous smile & then added, “I have my unique style. I don’t sound like anyone. I pride myself on being innovative. My vision, is to be a great & successful artist, that opens the door for many more creatives & unboxed artists, (artists that don’t conform to any one standard or fad)”

“My most popular releases are my single “Dead Wrong”, from my album titled “Underrated”, which has been aired on WKYS 93.9 & my single “In The Mix”, from my album titled “Underrated 2”. I’m currently working on a few singles, that will further show my versatility as an artist,” He said in an excited tone.

Acknowledging his respect for other people in the same domain, Honcho continued, “All artists inspire me in some form or fashion. I don’t look to one specific artist for inspiration. It’s all about; can I identify with their strong points & make them my own! Focusing on the negatives, can only push you down a never-ending well of jealousy or distractions.”

Talking about his future goals, Honcho added, “I would like to be settled in a house in the hills, with my music & my businesses flourishing. Teaching other creatives how to flourish & help others do the same, without feeling entitled for uplifting our people.”

M-Pak is unique, in that he is the only artist to explicitly blend humor & motivational rap in his music. This allows him to avoid the many pitfalls of motivational rap, by avoiding the more obvious lyrics & instead focusing on the punchlines.

Maleek aka M-Pak gives hope to those who aren’t sure they want to continue living. He gives them a sense of purpose & sets them on the path to success. This is not without merit, as the world needs more “M-Pacers” like Maleek.

“I’ve often wondered,” He spoke, “whether the way people react to me is different, than if I were from a different culture or a different race.” Then continued, “I hate the fact that we are all divided & there seems to be no middle ground for everyone to stand on. Through my music, I want to perpetuate in people’s minds; that we all can stand together, even when we have no similarities. We are all human after all, maybe that should amount to something.”

“I also intend to lay the foundation of a Young Artists Network; a non-profit organization, that focuses on providing education & introducing young people to the opportunities of the music industry” He added.This young artist is changing the game with his raw & original form of lyricism. He is also known for his experimentalism, which takes these songs to the next level. For those who haven’t heard him, this might be your clue to open your iPad & blast some quality music.
