Hey ya’ll! I had the pleasure of doing an interview with artist, Jeff Jay, who 216 The Beat has been promoting as our featured artist back in January! Jeff who is repping both Bronx, NY & Cleveland sat down with me, Mz. Slim Goody, to discuss his hot new single “No Love Lost” which will be off his new project From Hood To Heaven and telling us why ya’ll should stay tuned to what else the Jeff Jay has coming soon!! Check out Jeff’s interview & music video below!!!
Have you ever felt like no matter how positive you try to be or all the times you have put in being helpful to others or consistently working hard to to make a way out of no way, but no matter how much effort you put in it seems like all your efforts are constantly being blocked? Or feeling insufficient to help others or your children….constantly losing your self confidence due to expectations that were followed by disappointments or the feeling that doing good just ain’t enough??
Artist, Faded Mulah, is back attacking the issue of suicide with his new song “Good Just Ain’t Enough”. Suicide is such an issue in this country that in America, suicide is the 10th leading cause of deaths and in 2017, over 47,000 died by suicide alone, per The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
“Good Just Ain’t Enough” reminds you to check in on your loved ones, even the ones who you think don’t need to be checked on. Sometimes we are fooled in to believing that a daily smile means a person is always ok. We get so caught up in our own worlds that we do not pay attention to the fact that maybe that smile could be the mask a person is using to hide their REAL pain. DO NOT WAIT TILL IT’S TOO LATE!!!
If you or anyone you know are having any suicidal thoughts please contact the Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Make sure to follow @fadedmulah on all social media outlets!!

WEEK OF JANUARY 25 2019:

It’s always appreciated!!
SKY JONEZ – JUST SHINE

TEEZY FROM THE CLAIR – MAKE IT OUT
My fellow Cleveland native has been going hard since he been back home! I got hip to him from off Trapaholics mixtape: Eat or Get Ate, Fresh Out The Gate back in 2017, and literally I kept it on repeat! Since then Teezy has been on his grind…”Make It Out” is an example of his explanation as to why he is going so HARD for he wants to make it out, but not just him…he wants everybody to do the same! Like the saying goes…what’s the point of making it big when no one else in your circle has been blessed to do the same.
This single is off his current project Yo Beat Aint Safe Volume 1 which is available on all streaming platforms!

ODE THA HUSTLA – PULL UP (REMIX) FT. 3OHBLACK, CHELLY THE MC, SUPA TRIPPA
I had to do some homework on this artist LOL seriously for it looked as if he was gone for a sec then BOOM he is back & hopefully ready to set this game on fire with some dope music. I like his style and how his flow rides the beat with a piece of island feel to it. Maybe its how he does his voice on the hooks, but it reminds me of a particular reggae artist I listen to. The single “Pull Up” is featuring 3OHBlack, an artist I am familiar with, Chelly The Mc, to whom I featured on one of my NEW MUSIC FRIDAY posts towards the end of 2018, and Supa Trippa, who I will like to hear more music from, all collaborated with Ode Tha Hustla to create a hot single that is also featured on his current project Starting 5 Ep that is available on all streaming platforms.
When this artist asked me to check out his music I swear I had no idea as to what I was going to hear, but I am glad that I took that chance, for Adam III was really speaking not only real shit but its TRUE!! The single “Cotton Pickers Turned Gangsta” really makes you think as to how Blacks in America have evolved from being cotton pickers to gangsta’s out here picking in people’s pockets!! The one thing that I do notice about Adam III is that he raps about what’s going on in his neighborhood & making sure to highlight the things we should be paying attention to versus the alternative. Adam currently has another single out titled “South Central Los Angeles” that’s available on all streaming platforms!
Hey Y’all! We are currently in to 2019 about to find ourselves into month #2 already!!! I hope the month of January has set a decent tone as to what to expect or learn for the remainder of the year. For me, I am so anxious for the Hit or Miss Sundays show I co host returns back on February 10th!!!! Make sure to stay tuned & I will have more Dope artists to be blogging about this week too! Like Jeezy said “If you don’t hustle…You don’t shine”
FUTURE ALWAYS SEEMS TO NEVER DISAPPOINT FR & WITH THIS ALBUM YOU CAN EXPECT THE SAME. 20 TRACKS ON THE ALBUM SO ITS A LOT TO LISTEN TO & THE FIRST 5 OR 6 TRACKS ARE KIND OF SLOW BUT THEN THE ALBUM PICKS UP AFTER THAT. A+
I TRULY LOVE HIS SINGLE “MURDER ON MY MIND” YEA IT SOUNDS DEEP AF LOL & IT DOESN’T HELP TO KNOW THAT HE IS CURRENTLY SERVING TIME TOO BUT OUTSIDE OF ALL OF THAT IS HIS TALENT…THE MAN HAS BARS & TELLS A STORY…A
I SO DEEPLY LOVED THE PRODUCTIONS ON THIS ALBUM OH AND IF I FORGOT TO TELL Y’ALL IS THAT HE IS A SONGWRITER & PRODUCER…MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE SONG HE COLLABED WITH TRAVIS SCOTT…A+
LIVE ASS MIXTAPE!!! EVERY SONG LITERALLY GOES & I SWEAR HE REMINDS ME OF LIL TAY-K..ESPECIALLY RAPPING ABOUT THAT GANG GANG LIFE…HE ISN’T AS GRITTY THO…HIS STYLE ALLOWS LISTENERS TO TAKE HIS WORDS IN MUCH EASIER! A
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ACTUALLY HEARING ABOUT THIS ARTIST…WHO HAS LYRICS SO HARD THAT I WONDER IF SHE HAS EVER BATTLE RAPPED. IDK I JUST KNOW THAT I DO LIKE HER STYLE & HOW SHE IS MARKETING HERSELF! B
6. ANN MARIE – TRIPOLAR 2
Sooo It’s Official!!! My Album TRIPOLAR 2 Will B Dropping Wednesday Jan.9th @ Midnight. Y’all Ready 😈 pic.twitter.com/mqStPMiI9y
I just got hip to up and coming artist, songwriter, and battle rapper named Elijah Lamar, last month. The single I am featuring “Drip(Trip Remix)” is a cover to Ella Mai’s platinum hit “Trip”. Even though Jacquees caused an uproar when he decided to redo the song, I can say that Elijah made it to HIS VERSION….I even enjoyed how when I thought the song was about to end, the beat changed with his delivery! Let me know of what y’all think of his song below! For me…I can see it on repeat!
I just got to know this talented producer through some family that I have who live out in the Bay Area of California. Me, being nosy like I do I agreed to check some of his music out for which now I am happy to say that I did for I enjoyed the music he sent to me. The first single titled “Chillin” is from a few years back and the inspiration behind the track came from him believing in the artist, Bizzel, which allowed him to open up his own creativity & feelings on the record. From this single, it inspired the producer to create a whole album for Bizzel titled “Whiten by Bizzel” which is available on all platforms.
Alma Rosae – Freaky Tales
Produced by Kontraband Beatz
This is the other single I grew to like of course I love to shout my ladies out! I truly loved Alma Rosae’s delivery on this song…which makes it so DOPE! The talented artist stated that the song “Freaky Tales” is about living your best life & being able to express your sexuality freely. Alma goes on to state..that their shouldn’t be a double standard, women should be able to be players too & not judged for it! The single is available on Rosae’s EP “Boys” which is available everywhere so make sure to check it out!!
The homie, MegaDon216, really needs no introduction at all!! I did a mixtape review for him about a year ago and I also have videos his concert at the Grog Shop here in Cleveland Heights, OH back in July…so make sure to check those previous posts out! Now, he returns with a new single title “Loud”…yes of course it’s LOUD! But I can guarantee you great production and lyrical flow on this track! Trust that I am only going to post what I would actually replay to myself!
Hey yall!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! I still can not believe that we are officially in the year of 2019!! I can atleast admit that it’s starting off great! The Hit or Miss Sundays show, for which I am a co host of, will be starting back February 10th! I will also continue my “Dope Artist’s to Check Out” posts for I have been getting a great response from that as well as artist’s from all over the US contacting me regarding it!! So definitely stay tuned to that!! Due to the holidays, I spent time with my family and just enjoyed everybody without having to worry about work! Now its back to grinding season!! This week of new music was very quiet & that’s to be expected at the beginning of a new year. I am still wondering when Offset, from the Migos, will be dropping his solo project??? I am hoping very soon!!!
Hey! Im back for another “New Music Friday” post!!! I hope everyone is enjoying all the Christmas parties & appreciating the time spent with family & loved ones. This is that time of the year I usually take time to reflect on my future wants and goals for the next year. In my opinion, 2018 was a great year for me! I had some downs, but it was all due to the come UPs I had coming my way…which reminds me…I do have a special announcement that I will post onto the blog concerning the “Hit or Miss Sundays Show” that I am a co-host of prior to New Years Day of 2019 arrival!! Make sure to stay tuned!!!
I WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AGAIN TO GIVE A BETTER OPINION BUT FROM MY INITIAL THOUGHTS IT SOUNDS GOOD…I JUST DIDNT EXPECT HIM TO COME WITH THAT STYLE
NOT ONLY IS KODAK A GEMINI LIKE ME BUT HE MAKES GREAT MUSIC…THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS WORTH LISTENING TO FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END
4. DEREZ DE’SHON – PAIN 2
I HAVE BEEN ON DEREZ SINCE I REPOSTED HIS FIRST MIXTAPE & SINCE THEN HE HAS BLOWN UP & RELEASED 2 SINGLES SINCE, NOW THIS 2ND MIXTAPE IS BRING YOU THE SAME HEAT & HUSTLE STORIES THAT THIS ARTIST IS GREAT AT TELLING.
