Big V of Nappy Roots Taps Urban Mystic For HIs First Ode To Romance “All On Me”
Big V of Nappy Roots accomplished so much during his time as lead vocalist of the group. Multi-platinum sales, Nominations for Grammys, MTV Music Video Awards, Soul Train Awards and AMA’s. Recording with the likes of Kanye, Mark Ronson and Anthony Hamilton. The list goes on. What the group never did though was record a song for the ladies and today Big V gets to check that off of his bucket list with the release of his latest solo single, “All On Me”, alongside Ft. Lauderdale crooner, Urban Mystic. A grown and sexy blend of Hip Hop and Neo-Soul, “All On Me” is a return to the days of romance, according to the former frontman. An ode to how to treat your Queen.
“The song came about while working in the studio with Mamaz Boy and JayMel aka Kyng of Da Beatz. I told them that I wanted to do something soulful with the Nappy Roots vibe but different from anything we ever did in Nappy Roots.” Big V shares. “After we got the basics of the track down, I knew I had to have a real soulful singer similar to what Anthony Hamilton does but again something a little different. JayMel played a track that they had done for Spice 1 with Urban Mystic singing the hook. I was blown away and knew I needed him on the track.”
The rest is, as they say, history, BUT, in the making of the “All On Me” these two discovered a soulful chemistry that brought a full collaborative project in to being that fans can expect in the coming months. Big V also has two solo projects in the pipeline, so be sure to look out for those too.

In the realm of Hip Hop music emerging stars we have JimEMacLive and Ralo tha Pimp. JimEMacLive links up with Ralo tha Pimp to release the smash single “Choose”. ℗Hip-hop has long been rooted in authenticity, and it’s hard to find someone who puts his sweat & tears into the genre like JimEMacLIVE. Growing up on the streets of Indianapolis, crime & violence were prevalent right outside his door, however, a younger version of himself found solace inside with his mother. Helping her clean the house to the sounds of Al Hudson, and discovering music from the likes of E40 & 2 Pac helped shape his musical taste from an early age. When he decided to start crafting his own sound during his teenage years, while the skillset was unpolished, his unwavering determination & versatility were as present as ever. When darkness surrounds his city, JimEMacLIVE wants to be that ray of light piercing through the veil. “This is my therapy. Love, gratitude, determination; you can overcome any & all obstacles that come before you as long as you believe.” Make sure you listen to JimEMacLive feat. Ralo tha Pimp “Choose” ℗ on all digital platforms.
