GodKing Lotto - Extra Fly

GodKing Lotto shows off ‘Extra Fly’ music with hot new single
LOS ANGELES, CA – Lebaron Alexander isn’t just Fly … he’s Extra Fly. He’s not just a king, he’s a GodKing. And his music isn’t just good, it’s spectacular.
The up-and-coming artist out of Los Angeles is turning heads so fast with his music that it’s almost causing whiplash. And his new single, “Extra Fly,” is quickly becoming the talk of West Coast clubs and radio stations. Put together in collaboration with Jefe Rey, it’s an upbeat club banger that celebrates the “extra” side of life.
“I’m extra fly, and in this song I’m kind of just saying I’m extra fly doing my thing in every way,” GodKing Lotto said. “I talk about my diamonds in the song. I talk about my Cartier being ordered from New York.  I talk about how I’m so fly that people may try to rob me or hate on me or imitate me, but that’s just the highest form of flattery. Then Jefe comes in and just elaborates on that idea a little more. We not just fly, we extra fly.”
Though GodKing has somewhat of a rocky past, he has also risen from the bottom and put in the hard work to make himself successful in multiple endeavors. In addition to being a musician, he’s also a successful businessman and owns his own convenience store in Compton. That store served as the location for his music video for “3 Kings,” featuring Yella Bezzy. This video is set to drop in mid-February.
GodKing started doing music around age 12 or 13. It started as a joke, of sorts, when he and a friend decided to create a rap for one of their science projects.  The song they did didn’t blow up throughout the school but their teacher loved it and had them perform for a different class to show them off to her co-orker/friend and her class. He was hooked on music from that moment forward.
“After that I tried to everything with music,” he said. “I was always clever with patterns, and I liked the idea of words being put down like patterns. That was fun to me. And I’ve just grown more and more from there. Today I want to be known for having bars and as someone who is lyrical. A lot of these new rappers coming out lack a fundamental element that I think every essential rapper needs, which are skill and a lyrical content. I think the ability to be a lyrical artist with content with huge, and when people hear my music they’ll know I’m a real person with that good lyrical content.”

Mo Racks - Smoke



South African native Mo Racks brings
aggressive new style to hip-hop and R&B fusion
LOS ANGELES, CA – A lot of people who meet Hillary Morake would probably call her sweet, friendly and fashionable. All of those things are true. But when the South African artist dons her stage persona, Mo Racks, something unpredictable and raw starts to take over – something that brings a passion and aggressiveness to the music scene.
Her most recent single, “Smoke,” is the perfect example of this unique style of music. Combining the flavors of R&B and hip-hop with the House music that’s more native to her home country of South Africa, “Smoke” explores the relationship drama that can come from and up-and-down romance. It’s a song that showcases her ability to both sing and rap, while also bringing a powerful beat that demands listeners to move. Though it’s only been out for a short time, it has already garnered some major attention from fans all over the U.S. “I started my career about four years ago in South Africa making House music,” Mo Racks said.
“I’m a singer, and I have always listened to R&B music. I’ve also always felt shy and it wasn’t until I discovered rap music that I found this outlet to express what was in my heart and my head. I write all my songs. I feel like people receive my message better in a rap than just singing. I’m still doing both things in my music, and this song is kind of a perfect blend of everything that I do.”
The single will be one of six on an upcoming EP that she said is set to drop in mid-February. All of the songs on that EP will deal with the experiences of her life and the journeys she has taken to get to where she is today in her career.
“This EP will really be about getting to know me and how I am as a musician,” she said. “I don’t say much or speak much on a daily basis, but through my music you can get to know me.
Everything in this EP is true and has happened to me or I’ve seen it – and I put it all into song. Coming from a family of entertainers – my mom was a model and my grandma was a dancer – I always knew what it looked like to entertain other people. But now I’m taking it to another level, and this EP is my first steps toward taking it further and trying to go international.”
Mo Racks worked with engineer Alexey Vonorov on the EP and said she credits a lot of his work for the unique sound that comes through on the project. She also said the EP is just the first of many new projects to come this year, and she’s eager for fans to check out some of the new music she’s been working on.

Smoove'L Da Finesser - Victoria Secret


Young Brooklyn rapper set to light up in the music
industry with new sound and style
BROOKLYN, NY – Lefty Frizzel Sanders Jr. – better known as Smoove’L Rapper – is a hot up-and-coming young artist whose diverse music is making a splash across the country. If you haven’t heard of him yet, it’s time to sit up and pay attention.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, this young man grew up in the notorious 44 Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. Like many from that neighborhood, he grew up looking for a way out. For much of his young life, that way out was basketball. He excelled at the sport. But by high school he got into trouble and suspensions and expulsions piled up, making it impossible for him to play for any varsity team. Desperate for something else, he started exploring his skills as a rapper.
Smoove’L said, “My mom did everything she could do to provide for us.  So I’m forever in her debt. On top of that, I’m extremely inspired by the things I didn’t have.”
The inspiration for hip-hop came from his friend, Bryce who introduced him to names like Chief Keef, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, and Bobby Brown. Pretty soon Smoove discovered he had a natural talent for lyricism, and a pretty good voice. He joined a group called CLN, and they dropped a song called “Call My Phone” after graduating from 8 th grade. That song went on to gain nearly 300,000 plays on Soundcloud. It was enough to get him hooked, and he hasn’t looked back since. He’s released multiple singles and a couple of mixtapes over the past couple of years, and has been steadily gaining a fan-base. Most recently he released the singles “Victoria Secret” – which tells the story of his journey so far – and “Fantasy” – which is about the neighborhood he grew up in and the people who are always faking it and living in a “fantasy world.” Both singles showcase his adept ability to weave lyrics, and both showcase his unique vocal talents in incredible ways. And more than anything, his body of work to date shows off a musician who is comfortable in any genre of music.
“I’m more of a storyteller than anything else, but you can put me on trap beats or soul beats or I can do pop or I can do hype beats,” he said. “I sing and I’m lyrical and I can rap. When you put that lyrical and that storytelling together it makes it great. I also don’t do the things to get attention that a lot of other artists out there do. I don’t have tattoos. I don’t do no drugs. I don’t have a jail record. I don’t need tattoos or to ride hell to get attention. If you know you have talent, just go with it. And that’s what I want my music to be known for. I’m a guy who is telling the truth. I’m real. I’m lyrical. I’m versatile. And with my music you will always get a positive vibe.”
Ultimately, Smoove’L said he hopes people will listen to his music and know that they can achieve whatever they set their minds to. He said he hopes his life is an example of someone who life said wouldn’t make it, but with hard work and talent he was able to carve a niche in the music industry and make a name for himself.

Rass Limit - Waterfall

Rass Limit puts Germany on the map
with unique hip-hop sound
COLOGNE, GERMANY – Most people don’t associate Germany with international hip-hop artists, but Ramon Manolo is on a mission to change that perception.
Better known by his stage name Rass Limit, this up-and-coming artist from Cologne, Germany wants to let the world know that he has more to offer than basic, same sound music. With stunning melodic layers and edgy vocal hooks, Rass is already capturing the imaginations of people all over the world with his tuneful music. Driven from a young age to create compelling music – even his name nods to that drive as a play on words for the idea of “passing the limits” – Rass Limit has managed to develop a truly inspiring and personal sound. Inspired by artists such as Post Malone, Juice WRLD and Lil Peep, he has created a unique sound and style that is refreshingly unpredictable yet warmly familiar.
Most recently he has released the single “Waterfall,” which showcases a smooth, mellow vibe across a timeless hip-hop beat that was produced by RoBeatz & Rass Limit himself. It’s a song That he said was inspired by an experience with an ex-girlfriend who was playing games with him.
“One day she had another man then the next day she said she didn’t have another man and she wanted me back,” Rass said. “So it’s a song about love, but it’s also a song that says it’s OK for a man to cry. We’re all human and I want to tell the people listening to the song that if you have problems it’s OK to cry.”
Going against the norm is a lot of what Rass wants to bring to the world through his music. His sound is separate from anyone else in the game because it comes from his personal experiences and a journey that has seen him deal with and overcome bouts of depression. Along the way he has faced many obstacles that were seemingly impossible to overcome, but he did it and has steadily put together a career that he knows is poised to take a big leap forward.
“People say I’m German and can’t be successful in America or other places of the world, but just last year I had a meeting with Arista Records and got some good exposure,” he said. “I’ve also had one major YouTuber called: Rewinside promoting my music and I have 11,000 monthly listeners on my Spotify already after only two months. That’s why I tell people that I want my music to be known for my passion to overcome any limits. When someone says I can’t so something, I tell them I can. Some people won’t even try, but you have to try. That’s what Rass Limit is all about – the passion to overcome any obstacle in your life. Go past the limit.”
Rass Limit said “Waterfall” is the first single off an upcoming mixtape called “Play,” which he hopes to release by the end of March or possibly mid-April. The project will feature a variety of styles, but mostly stay true to the R&B, rap and Emo lanes he’s trying to explore through his music.
