Getting To Know Annie-O

I had the great oppurtunity to interview up and coming artist, Annie-O last week!

 

I had the pleasure of getting to interview Camp Loyalty artist, Annie-O,a rapper hailing from Detroit, but has now made Atlanta her new home. At 26, Annie-O is not just your typical female rapper, she also is experienced in music production, videography, and audio engineering for other independent artists as well as for herself.
An artist who is a May birthday like me, and sounds very confident & takes her career very seriously. So serious that she migrated to Atlanta, a city known for providing way more oppurtunities for furthering music careers.

Annie-O, who in her spare time finds fullfillment in giving back to the community, has two hot singles out. I got to speak on Annie-O regarding her single “By Myself” produce by Dre Beatz. Annie-O, short for Annie Oakley, raps about the fact of learning that in life you find that its best to do things by yourself and for yourself. I know that is a topic that i know so well, and Annie-O stated that she had to learn to learn that lesson too! Once the lesson was learned the artist admits that life has been moving in a positive direction which that can be an empowering message all women.

Last Sunday, Annie-O, was a featured guest on one of the stations shows, Hit Or Miss. We got to feature her other hot single called, “GBM”, produced by Kongo Beats shows the more raw version of her. GBM which stands for Gangsta Bitch Music, shows the reason why Annie-O will be a household name one day.

Persistence & consistency is the key to success & Annie-O is on the goal to make this happen. Annie has said “I want to be considered the rose that grew from concrete, that one who made it against all odds and after everyone said I was just a typical female rapper, I really have no limits. I want to take this as far as life will allow. The grind to be the greatest is never over”. Annie-O stated that she has alot of great things to be looking forward to in 2018, and wants all of her fans to stay tuned!

Cardi B drops new single ‘Be Careful’

cardi-b-be-careful

You’ve been warned. Following “Bodak Yellow” and “Bartier Cardi,” Cardi B is putting her man on blast with her third single “Be Careful,” which seems to be inspired by her real life romance with Offset.

The Bronx rapper, who is rumored to be pregnant with fiancé Offset’s child, calls out her man over his infidelity. “I wanna get married, like the Curries, Steph and Ayesha shit,” she raps. “But we more like Belly, Tommy and Keisha shit / Gave you TLC, you wanna creep and shit / Poured out my whole heart to a piece of shit.”

Over the Vinylz, Boi-1da, and Frank Dukes production, she warns him not to mess with her heart. “It’s not a threat, it’s a warning / Be careful with me,” she raps, while borrowing lyrics from Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor.”

Cardi’s highly-anticipated debut album Invasion of Privacy arrives April 6. The following day, she will perform on “SNL” and Coachella later in the month.

Hear Cardi’s open letter below.

Kendrick Lamar on Kanye West’s ”Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 [AUDIO]

Out of nowhere, a new version of the Kanye West track “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1″ hit the internet yesterday (March 23), and this one features Kendrick Lamar.

While the two rappers teamed up on the Life of Pablo track “No More Parties in L.A.,” it appears Compton Kenny also contributed vocals to “Father…,” which features Kid Cudi on the original version. The beat for the Kendrick contribution starts off like the OG instrumental, but gets chopped and broken down on the TDE rapper’s verse.

“Annie, are you okay?/Ooh, yeah/Do you like foreplay?/Ooh, yeah/Do you go both ways?” K. Dot raps. “I really need confirmation/Your love is abomination/Fucking you is like a bomb of nations/Area 51 in that pussy, ah/The president about to cum in that pussy, ah/I got mind control, I got dick control/I reel ’em in for the fishing pole/I love legs like Robyn Fenty/Stretch them shits like limo Bentleys.”

It appears Kanye is hard at work on his upcoming album. In recent weeks, he’s been spotted in his happy place in Wyoming with a slew of frequent collaborators. Travis Scott, The-Dream, King Louie, producer Pi’erre Bourne, Gunna, Tony Williams, A$AP Bari, Kid Cudi and Nas have all been photographed in the area. Most recently, Drake and his crew were spotted at the resort where West is staying, and the two are reportedly cooking up as well.

Listen to the recently-surfaced Kendrick Lamar verse on Kanye West’s “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1″ below.

JStar The Dreamer – If Ifs (Official Video)

The lyrically gifted J Star of rhyme and Reason dropped his new visual for the single

“If Ifs”.  Shot by Nic Conner Images, the video hilariously, reflects the lyrics perfectly!


The song is about a young man starting out in life, trying to find his way. As he is introduced to adulthood, he ends up letting the “what ifs” alter his life’s decisions regarding what he wants to do. He assumes he has all of the time in the world to right his wrongs but before long, half of his life has passed him by due to complacency. As he gets older and looks back, he realizes that he hasn’t done anything and now he has to deal with the regrets and the shoulda, coulda woulda’s.
