OriJinal Shotta Explains Why He Knew He Had To Take A Chance On Himself In Order To Evolve And Reach New Heights

Published

on

Independent artist and Nebraska native OriJinal Shotta is a fresh face in the music game and is ready to unleash his full potential. Only having started his journey in November of 2021, Shotta already has big plans for his music career, aiming to be a voice for his city, as many underestimate and overlook the talent and tenacity of his hometown. Promoting his first (and recently released) EP, “I Got Plays,” Shotta takes on the responsibility to help represent his hometown of Omaha and showcase it in the hip-hop spotlight. In doing so, Shotta makes it a point to use his music as a vehicle for providing advice on the experience of hustle culture, teaching his listeners what it really means to make it out of the mud and into the sun.

Shotta first began to take his music seriously when he was offered an opportunity to make extra money from his talents. Growing up in a city where everyone is aiming to level up and grow into something new and better for themselves, Shotta knew he had to take a chance on himself in order to evolve and reach new heights. Utilizing his talents as an artist will serve as an important tool in his main goal, which is to teach his audience how to utilize their skills and talents to make a name for themselves in whatever aspect they choose. It is important to Shotta to teach his experiences and discoveries to his audience since it is already difficult for people to expand their lives outside of his hometown. Though he prefers to lay low, he will do whatever it takes to put Omaha, Nebraska on the radar through music and his other endeavors.

 Affectionately dubbing himself as the Trap Coach, Shotta is big on doing the work to achieve one’s goals and biggest desires, so it’s no doubt that his recently released EP is a playbook on how to level up in life.“I Got Plays” is Shotta’s way of laying out a blueprint of the hustle mentality, dividing his instructions into three parts. His 3-track EP is accompanied by 8 videos that can be viewed on his youtube channel and the EP available for streaming on all platforms.

Rich Amiri Drops “FORZA FREESTYLE”

Published

By

Armed with a bottomless arsenal of flows and a powerful basso voice, Rich Amiri is a commanding presence on every track he touches. Taking a page from motorsports as he speeds through life, Amiri shares a video for “FORZA FREESTYLE,” a highlight from his new album, GHETTO FABULOUS. Produced by Zuko and Ghostrage, “FORZA FREESTYLE” finds a confident Amiri unfurling off-the-cuff flexes, swerving around 808 blasts and synth stabs like an Italian supercar. In the video, directed by Keaton Jones, Amiri whips his Tesla to a hillside L.A. mansion, where he relaxes with a beautiful woman and totes his firearm.

Rich Amiri flexes his muscular sense of melody pm GHETTO FABULOUS, Amiri’s latest release for Internet Money Record, which racked up over 12.5 million streams to date. Spanning 14 tracks, the new project from the Internet Money Records signee features some of the famed collective’s most luxurious production to date–Rio Leyva takes the helm behind boards, with credits on 12 of the project’s 14 tracks, welcoming contributions from IM fellows like founder Taz Taylor, Census, and ThankYouWill, plus unaffiliated associates like Zuko and maxvon. Shouldering the load with no features necessary, Amiri takes advantage of the room-enveloping production, his bellowing bass cutting through the cavernous atmosphere with commanding authority and unpredictable melodics.

2023 has been a busy year for Rich Amiri. Earlier this year, Rich Amiri announced his signing to Internet Money Records, making his longstanding relationship with the artist-producer collective official. Shortly afterward, Amiri dropped EVOLUTION, entirely produced by Internet Money, featuring singles like “Poppin” ft. Lil Tecca and “Salty.” The 12-track project was his biggest step yet in his rise from SoundCloud to nascent stardom. In 2021, he released his hit “Never Fail,” which recently surpassed 3 million streams on SoundCloud, which sparked a series of underground hits. Last year, the rapper shared his debut EP For The Better, which featured guest spots from Summrs, jaydes, and others.

Stay tuned for more music and videos from Rich Amiri coming soon, and check him out live on March 17th at Rolling Loud California.

GHETTO FABULOUS is available everywhere via Internet Money Records/10K Projects.

Emmy-nominated educator turned entertainer, Dee-1 (@Dee1music) addresses critics and fans alike in the official music video for the Danny Beats-produced single “Lines Drawn,” following his viral interview on Sway In The Morning centered around industry hypycrosy. Filmed by Tufts University‘s own Jalen Hill, a student enrolled in the New Orleans native’s “The Intersection of Hip Hop and Social Change” course, the timely track and its accompanying visual postdate Dee’s previously released album UNO. Serving as the first official leak from his forthcoming LP From The Hood To Harvard, the song is a beacon of light as unfavorable headlines engulf online media.

“I did this song as a response to the industry being so shaken by me drawing a line in the sand and saying that we need some accountability for the messages we’re glorifying inside Hip-Hop. This is part one, there’s more on the way. A shift is happening from a genre and cultural perspective,” says the National Social Emotional Learning Consultant in a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about the release.

Award-winning rapper. educator, host, activist, business owner, and keynote speaker are synonymous with Louisiana‘s Dee-1.

He’s transitioned from being a middle school math teacher in The Boot to a Hip-Hop heavyweight with much more to accomplish. He has released 10 albums and 21 projects thus far in his career. 

Dee-1’s music is part of a bigger lifestyle movement called Mission Vision, which centers around three core principles: Be Real. Be Righteous. Be Relevant. In 2020, Dee received the prestigious NAACP “Power of Influence Award,” highlighting his community activism and commitment to inspiring the youth. In 2021, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on “The Manhattan Project,” but he lost to Michelle Obama. Later that year, Dee was appointed to the “Louisiana Council for the Success of Black Men and Boys” by Governor John Bel Edwards, making him the first rapper in Louisiana history to become a governor’s appointee.
