New York native and R&B crooner Donelle Valentine shows vocal versatility with his newest single “C’MON” which is a nice blend of fast paced club beat mixed smooth singing performance. He wants the woman of his eye to see him and this “C’MON” is a play off that troupe.

It’s a unique single that continues a career year for the talented musician from the big apple. Donelle caught our attention earlier this year with a game breaking On The Radar performance that really showcases the potential he has in becoming a star in R&B.

“This album is dedicated to my lil brother Boosa, who passed away when I was locked up. I put a lot of time into this album and was going through a lot while making it. I got sober and went to therapy as well. So you will hear a lot of pain and just a better version of me throughout each song. I’m introducing the world to an older, better, and evolved version of FAT TREL,” say’s the MGE recording artist in a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about the upcoming body of work.

Martrel Reeves PKA Fat Trel was a child far more ambitious and cognizant of his surroundings than the norm. At age seven, he professed ambitions to be a rapper, while peers delivered the proverbial “I have a Dream” Speech about aspirations to be nurses, doctors, lawyers, and fire fighters. As peers sat excited by the endless possibilities of the future, Fat Trel sat perplexed by the harsh realities of DC; the place he called home. Fat Trel exited high school at age 15, caught up in the lure and necessity of street life; a road more traveled when the have-nots impose an immediate call to action. Unconvinced high school education would support his family or cultivate his ambitions, Fat Trel hit the ground running in pursuit of being an emcee and has not stopped running since.

Fat Trel has nurtured and grown his organic storytelling ability with creative word play and pulverizing flow. Taking a raw approach to music, some would say as graphic and grimy as the streets of DC, but equally memorable and captivating nonetheless. He holds no punches and tells each story with such relativity they appear verbatim, in a matter of fact nature, that illustrates he is genuinely home grown and not caught up in the idea of being from the streets.

Lei Swan reveals a fun, energetic bop “Sex” which is a smooth listen and a vibrant take on the concept of sex.

The song is actually the opposite of what people think it is, according to Swan. To her, men have sex in the #1 spot of their brain. Lei wants more vacations and relaxation then you just be focused on sex all of the time.

In her own words, “in this song I share how sex is not a necessity and how much I don’t care for it. I also share how good my sex is and how guys want to experience that side of me but I don’t give them the time of day!”

It’s a preview of much more exciting and eccentric music set to come from Lei Swan.
