It’s an honor to speak with you today. How did you get into music and for how long have you been in the industry?
⁃ I’ve been doing music for a little over 5 years now, I got into it the space because my brother iRome who already had his foot in the industry & was signed to Flo Rida at the time, his home studio being one room away from mine coupled with my curiosity I ended up recording a couple tracks to experiment, low & behold 5 years later I’m now on my way to being one of 2022’s top streamed independent artist out of Houston, TX.

Earlier, you announced that you were planning to start a tech company in the near future, shed some light on this and the inspiration behind it.
⁃ I’ve always been an entrepreneur first before anything else so when I find a problem I immediately want to create a solution, Lucian Grainge who is the Chief Executive Officer of Universal Music Group earned more in 2021 than ALL songwriters did combined from streams & sales of their music in the UK in 2019. Also here’s a Fun Fact: To earn the same amount as the CEO of Universal did in 2021 a solo artist on a standard contract would require: 180,000,000,000 streams, That’s right, 180 BILLION! To say the least that is a major problem & I’d say it’s actually a form of trafficking… talent trafficking. That’s where our platform steps in, which is going to bring an end to this tyranny as it’ll be a direct Artist to Fan experience & both parties will be making money with each other, without the power hungry tech giants being involved. Currently the fans can only consume content, our platform will turn artists into assets for the fans & vice versa. I’ll go into more detail later as we get closer to finishing the first couple phases of this enormous project.

Could you share with us the story of your musical journey? What are some of the greatest achievements that you feel you have accomplished?
⁃ My musical journey consists of creating a solid foundation & building upon that patiently with proper marketing techniques, no gimmicks to go viral, just being myself, 90% of the artists coming into the industry that go viral without a foundation laid out will disappear off the scene as fast they appeared. So long term planning is very important to me for my music career. As stated earlier I’m on my way to being Houston, TX’s top streamed independent artists of 2022, obviously Travis Scott & Megan The Stallion are out of Houston & their streams trump mine any day, but they aren’t independent, they’re both signed to a major deal, so in terms of independent artists I’m at the top of the pyramid.

How has your life changed after your first single” Take My Hand”? Were there any opportunities or memorable experiences that followed?
⁃ “Take My Hand” really blew up after “PRBLM” was released, & to be honest people who listen to music can probably relate to this just as much as us artists but if I made a song at a time when I was feeling emotionally down or sad, just listening to that even if it’s a year later can trigger those same emotions & bring me back to that mood, music is a powerful nostalgia activator so in terms of memorable experiences yes, just alot of raw emotions.

Wow! Up until this point in your career, what would you describe as your favorite song you’ve recorded or performed live?
⁃ It’s weird because every time I make new song I try to evolve past the last song but if you’re asking what’s my favorite song I’ve recorded that’s already been released I’d say “ELEVATE” which is one of my more recent releases.
What makes that song special?
⁃ Some people are formed into good humans with proper guidance. Some people lack guidance & are formed by their experiences, “ELEVATE” was sort of a tribute to those individuals who lack guidance but strive for perfection.

What would be your dream venue or event to perform at?
⁃ I’d wanna start with preforming at Rolling Loud, & then obviously in the future I can sell out the Toyota Center with ease. In today’s world believing in yourself isn’t enough, you must become so ignorant and delusional to your current limiting beliefs that you end up over overwhelmingly exceeding your expectations.

What’s a little-known fact about you that might surprise people?
⁃ I stay in tune with the earth through grounding, meditation, & spending alot of time with stray cats in the hood.

For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?
⁃ Music is powerful, I wanna urge everyone to give frequency therapy a chance & listen to all 9 solfeggio frequencies with headphones on, you can thank me later. Follow me on all social media platforms: @shahvyy

3B Rich Bring Confidence and Late Night Ambition Into Focus On the Sleek and Hypnotic New Single “Slow Twerking”

Afro Brazilian trio 3B Rich keep sharpening their place in contemporary music with the release of their latest single, “Slow Twerking.” Blending modern R&B, hip hop, and pop with an easy sense of control, the song lands as a hypnotic, club minded track full of cinematic detail and an undeniable groove.

Driven by smooth, pulsing production and airy synth work, “Slow Twerking” reaches beyond the usual dancefloor rush. There is a real story inside it. The track sketches the life of a dancer moving through the nightlife world, holding onto her confidence, resilience, and ambition. Through vivid lyrics, 3B Rich present a woman who commands attention while working toward something larger, supporting her child, investing in her education, and building a future for herself on her own terms.

A big part of the song’s appeal comes from the way the group handles its vocals. Brothers Hi-en, Mr. Spotlight, and J-Royal play off one another with the kind of chemistry that makes the track feel loose and precise at the same time. Verses, hooks, and melodies pass naturally between them. Each voice has its own character, but together they create a polished, unified sound. The hook stays with you, long after the song ends.

On the production side, “Slow Twerking” captures what makes 3B Rich stand out. They move between genres with care, never losing the emotional pull or rhythmic focus of the song. The layered arrangement, sharp sense of rhythm, and melodic immediacy make it easy to imagine the track thriving both on streaming platforms and in a live setting.

The single also arrives at an important point for the trio. As attention around “Slow Twerking” continues to build, 3B Rich are wrapping up work on their debut album. The project is expected to push further into the ideas introduced here, with more genre blending, stronger storytelling, and adventurous production choices. It speaks to the group’s drive to test their range while staying grounded in something genuine.

Originally from Los Angeles and now based in Las Vegas, 3B Rich bring a distinct West Coast feel that is shaped by broader global influences. Their music is marked by tight harmonies, a strong stage presence, and a creative vision that connects different sounds and cultural perspectives. As their catalog grows, so does the sense that they are becoming a genuinely forward looking act, one with the potential to leave a real mark on pop and urban music.

With more releases, live shows, and industry partnerships ahead, 3B Rich are moving steadily from rising talent to serious creative contender.

“Slow Twerking” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

In Sylk McCloud’s Safeword, Bedroom R&B Meets Club Heat as Mr.24 Adds Grit to Bubu’s Midnight Pulse

In Sylk McCloud’s Safeword, Bedroom R&B Meets Club Heat as Mr.24 Adds Grit to Bubu’s Midnight Pulse

Rising bedroom R&B crooner Sylk McCloud, hailing from SE Washington, DC, turns up the temperature on his latest single, “Safeword.” It’s a slow burner built for the club, where glossy modern R&B melts into a little hip hop swagger. BuBu The Producer keeps the track sleek and plush, while featured rapper and emcee Mr.24 slides in with a verse that sharpens the edge.

Right away, “Safeword” lands in that moody late night pocket. The instrumental is velvet smooth, but it moves with a steady, hypnotic groove that nudges you closer. Sylk sings like he’s speaking directly across a dark room, soft in tone yet sure of himself. That push and pull is the point, a mix of vulnerability and control, desire and hesitation, all held in tension without spilling into melodrama.

The song takes its cues from the “Shades of Grey” film series, leaning into trust, fantasy, and the charged negotiation that comes with intimacy. Sylk makes the hook the centerpiece, letting the melody do the seducing even as the lyrics get bold:

“Tell me you’re sexy, all positions go
Are you ready for submission
Fifty shades is what I’m giving
Satisfaction all positions
Only one thing missing
Tell me your safeword…”

Those lines set the mood with a teasing confidence that never feels rushed. The chorus is restrained and tempting, built to linger rather than hit and disappear. Sylk’s voice floats above the beat with a magnetic ease, so the hook sticks in your head and in your gut.

When Mr.24 arrives, the energy shifts without breaking the spell. His delivery brings a gritty smooth contrast to Sylk’s melodic glide, grounding the fantasy in something a little tougher. It’s a smart pairing. The two artists sound comfortable sharing the same space, which helps “Safeword” work in more than one setting, from a packed dance floor to a late night playlist you keep to yourself.

A lot of the track’s pull comes from the production choices. BuBu The Producer builds a lush, atmospheric soundscape that matches Sylk’s tone, leaving room for breath, for pause, for that moment before the next touch. It feels designed for slow dancing, for cruising through the city after midnight, or for setting the room’s temperature with intention.

With “Safeword,” Sylk McCloud keeps carving out his lane in contemporary R&B, blending emotional weight with sensual confidence. The single plays like a small, cinematic scene, intimate on purpose, polished without feeling distant.

“Safeword” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Killem KD Brings Delta Grit to a One Take Freestyle That Sounds Like a Warning and a Promise

Screenshot

Some artists slide into a scene and hope the room makes space. Killem KD walks in like the room is already hers. Listen.

On her one take freestyle “Trouble Man (One Take),” the Mound Bayou, Mississippi native makes a clean announcement. She is here, she is ready, and she is finished waiting on permission. In about 1 minute and 25 seconds, KD delivers something that feels closer to a notice than a warm introduction, a warning shot aimed at anyone treating her like background noise.

Her intent is obvious in the way she hits each line. When she raps, “said I’m tired of waiting in corners and closets, it’s my time to shine, I can’t be quiet,” it lands like autobiography, not bravado. This is presence music, the kind that changes the temperature of a track. KD performs like she can feel eyes on her, like the tally is being kept, like silence has stopped being an option. Doubt, gatekeepers, anyone trying to flatten her momentum, they all get drowned out by the force in her voice.

The flow is slick and surgical, rooted in the South and proud of it. Every bar locks into the beat with a cadence that sounds fused, not rehearsed. You hear finesse, then grit right behind it, swagger sharpened by hunger. She stays patient. She doesn’t chase the pocket. She lives in it. The whole thing reads like instinct, not homework.

The video sharpens that feeling. Filmed guerrilla-style outside an old hospital building, it strips the moment to essentials: Killem KD, a mic, and whatever the day gives her. No crew lights. No studio polish. No safety net. Just daylight, concrete, and conviction. A dangling silver microphone adds a throwback touch, nodding to a time when you could measure an MC by breath control and bars.

That location matters, too. Hospitals are where people show up broken, hurting, trying to make it through. KD stands just outside that threshold and spits like she’s the diagnosis, unavoidable, contagious, impossible to dismiss. She closes her eyes at points, letting the performance swing between confession and confrontation. The result feels street-level and cinematic at once, early freestyle energy filtered through quiet urban melancholy.

“Trouble Man (One Take)” doesn’t lean on spectacle. It leans on certainty. KD knows what she brings, and she moves like her moment isn’t on the way. It’s here. This puts her in the lane of artists who demand recognition because the work leaves no other option.

Born and raised in the Delta, Killem KD carries southern soul, raw storytelling, and fearless energy into every bar. She’s pushing to put Mississippi on the map, and a clip like this makes that goal feel less like ambition and more like trajectory.

No edits.
No excuses.
No permission needed.
This is Killem KD, trouble in the best way possible.
