Xscape will be dropping a new EP without member Kandi Burress

Per Ebony, the group Xscape will be coming out with a new EP without Kandi Burress. Even though Kandi wrapped up the tour with the group, she opted to not record any new music with them. The new EP which is titled, Here For It,is due to be released on February 14th and will only feature the remaining members Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, LaTocha Scott, and Tamika Scott. The EP will include six tracks including the two tracks the group released late last year while on tour called “Wifed Up” and “Dream Killa”.


The song “Wifed Up” is a song directed towards telling males that if they have a good woman to wife her up!


“Dream Killa” is about the idea of being in love with someone who keeps doing you wrong therefore killing the dream of being in a happy relationship.

I personally love the song “Dream Killa” and I am overly excited for the group EP to be released. Even without member, Kandi Burress, the remaining three’s vocals are good enough to keep me satisfied with their work.

Now, Kandi did opt to not record any new music with Xscape, but it was not due to any negative drama, its due to her starring as Matron “Mama” Morton in the Broadway play, Chicago that will be running from January 15th to March 11th at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City.

The production will star Tony award nominee, Charlotte D’Amboise as Roxie Hart, original cast member, Leigh Zimmerman as Velma Kelly, YouTube sensation and Broadway star, Todrick Hall as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, LaVon Fisher-Wilson as Matron “Mama” Morton, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.

Make sure to purchase a ticket to the play if in New York City to support Kandi for her first Broadway play performance now!! Click here to read more of the article.

Checking In With Grammy Nominated Producer Cash Clay Beats!

1 Reply

I had the pleasure to do a phone interview with Grammy nominated producer, Cash Clay Beats, a couple days prior to Christmas. Being this was my very first interview, I admit I was very nervous, but with the help of Cash Clay Beats positive energy, the vibe during the interview was overall great!

Cash Clay Beats is being nominated for producing the single, Kelly Price, off the The Migos album, The Culture. This will be the producer’s first time ever being nominated for a grammy! According to Cash Clay Beats, he has been doing music for quite some time now, first starting off as just an artist then switching to doing productions only, and shopping his beats around to those he was networking with.

An original St. Louis native, Cash Clay Beats has also produced a couple of songs for K Camp titled “Racks Like This” & “Rob Kardashian”, a single for YFN Lucci that features Trouble that just came out early December, and other songs for Boosie, & even R. Kelly! Cash Clay Beats started off as a barber, which is how he met K Camp! From being a barber is how he learned to network & promote himself. The producer advises up n coming producers to learn how to network! He states ” Sometimes you may have to network with people who are not on the 2 Chainz level, network with anyone who is involved in the music game for you never know who they might know.”

One of Cash Clay Beats goals is to produce movie soundtracks or to even work with artist as such as Katy Perry. Since he originally came from hair cutting, he will like to open up more barber shops & selling merchandise by branding his production company called Street Certified Beat Cartel.

Cash Clay Beats said to be looking out for him in 2018! He has a TV show on Comcast coming out called “The Drop”, three documentaries he is in,a compilation CD with TIG, Think Of The Game Records coming out soon, and to check out his website http://www.cashclaybeats.com for any further ventures or new music.

I know I will definitely be watching the Grammy’s this year especially since this will be the first time no Caucasian artists were nominated for “Album of the Year”, which includes Jay-Z’s the “4:44” album & Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN”. I wish Cash Clay Beats much blessings & I hope to be writing about his Grammy win!

How did a Canadian Punk band end up on Beyonce’s Lemonade Album?

A Canadian punk band’s music is pressed on Beyonce’s Lemonade vinyl by accident

_97939218_beyonce976

Some Beyonce fans had a (noisy) surprise when they picked up a vinyl copy of her Lemonade album.

The US singer’s music was missing from a small number of copies of the record and had been replaced with a punk band instead.

Five songs from Canadian group Zex had been pressed by mistake on to the first side of a limited edition yellow vinyl.

Fans expecting to hear Hold Up instead got songs by Zex, such as Child Soldier and Let Them In.

A statement from Beyonce’s record label blamed the vinyl problems on “human error” at a pressing plant in Germany.

“Beyonce and ZEX were not aware of or responsible for the mispress,” said Columbia Records.

“Fans who purchased the vinyl will be refunded and given a replacement copy.

“We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.”

In a post on her Instagram account, Zex frontwoman Gretchen Steel said she hoped it wasn’t a misprint and that Beyonce was just a fan of their music.

Beyonce hasn’t commented on the misprint, but Zex posted a video of the vinyl playing their music on Facebook.

“Those of you who got the new Beyonce record Lemonade may be surprised to hear what will be playing on the A-side,” they wrote.

Their fans are desperate to get hold of an incorrect copy, saying they’ll be worth a lot of money in the future.

Zex are a four-piece band who formed in 2013.
