Tampa based artist JG premieres his brand new music video “Birds In LA” featuring Atlanta rapper Rich The Kid. Produced by No Gen, JG doesn’t just rap about getting at girls on the percolating “Birds in LA,” but the newcomer also throws down his gauntlet to declare his residence in the hip-hop community. Directed by Miles Cable the music video set in the reflective overlook of the ominous Los Angeles skyline. The single is a first look into JG’s upcoming debut EP, 3 Feet From Gold, due out later this year on independent Field of Dreams Entertainment.
JG explains, “I want to get across that I’m in this bitch now. I’m here to stay. For this song, I’m constantly inspired by everything. Grimey bitches. Instagram hoes. Fake ass rappers. Fuck boys. Haters. My Past. My future. My son. My family. All that is motivation to me. I just want people to feel something when they hear the record. Whether they hear it and get pissed off or hear it and get hyped up, it doesn’t matter to me… as long as it elicits some type of emotion for them.”
“Rich was really cool,” JG says about collaborating with the rapper known for his popular mixtapes. JG connected with Rich the Kid and Caskey through his engineer. “He came to the studio, laid the shit down and killed it for the visual as well.”

(New York, NY – January 17, 2016) -- Gospel recording artist Latice Crawford receives her first Stellar Gospel Music Awards nomination for Contemporary Female Vocalist of the Year. “I am humbled and honored to receive this nomination,” says Crawford. “Sharing this project has meant so much to me and to know that it has made an impact with my supporters and in the industry is truly encouraging. To God be the Glory.” The 31st Annual Gospel Music Awards will be held at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, March 25th, 2017.
Crawford’s nominated project, Diary of a Church Girl, debuted at No. 15 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart. Her new single, “Choose Me” is currently at gospel radio. “‘Choose Me’ is a song about our human need and desire to be accepted,” says Crawford. “We live in a society that focuses so much on pointing out flaws, imperfections, and then using them as the basis for declaring each other as not good enough—not good enough to receive love, a job, and even respect. God’s acceptance is just the opposite. There are countless stories of God extending His grace to men and women who didn’t quite fit in and then using them to do magnificent things—Moses, Esther, David, Joseph, and Jesus. God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.”
In addition to Crawford’s upcoming appearance at the 31st Stellar Gospel Music Awards Weekend, she will make appearances at the TCM 2017 Empowerment Convention in Atlanta, GA (Friday, March 3); Martin Crosswinds in Washington, DC (Saturday, March 18); Club His-Hop in Las Vegas, NV (Thursday, March 23), and other appearances to be announced in the coming weeks.Crawford’s BET performance will air on Joyful Noiseon Sunday, March 5 at 9:00 a.m. ET/8:00 a.m. CT. She is also a regular contributor for the Huffington Post.
Best known as the second runner-up of Season 2 of BET’s Sunday Best, Crawford presents Diary of a Church Girl as the follow-up to her 2014 debut self-titled album, which entered on four Billboard charts and peaked at No. 12 on the Gospel Albums chart. Diary of a Church Girl is written by Crawford and produced by Bruce Robinson (Alexis Speight, The Showers, Justin Bieber, and Brittany Spears).
The world of music is in for an amazing treat with the upcoming debut from the soulful Jazz duet, The Baylor Project. Even as a new addition to today’s musical landscape, their history will absolutely blow you away in many aspects. They would come together more than fifteen years ago, their history from there would be cemented in more than one way; musically, and through matrimony. Beyond their personal love for each other, their musical union is fueled but the strength they both carried on their own in the industry, and that strength has grown tremendously since then. Jean had spent her former years as one-half of the powerful, groundbreaking duet Zhane, while Marcus was already a world-class drummer who had been playing all his life. His experiences of playing with many Jazz greats like Cassandra Wilson, George Benson, and Regina Carter only supplement the musical union. Together, they would become a magical and untouchable force in music. They’re range and versatility is undeniable, which will be the very thing that sets them apart from the crowd. Even while they join the ranks of a number of other married couples in music, their legacy will undoubtedly be lasting.
Take a moment to their video below from their forthcoming album, “The Journey”, via YouTube below, and make sure you pre-order on iTunes. The album will officially be available February 2017!

Celebrating over 25 years in music and entertainment, multi-genre songtress Alyson Williams releases her first Christmas single, “Happy Holiday” and her first recording in ten years. Written by Williams and produced with longtime collaborator Herb Middleton, the single also features acclaimed saxophonist Dean James. “I’ve always wanted to do a Christmas album, but was never able to record it,” says Williams. “With all the acrimony, vitriol, and hateful messaging during this Election season, we decided to release a single for the holiday and follow-up with an album next year,” explains Williams. She was inspired to write “Happy Holiday” on Election Night, Tuesday, November 8th.
“After an extremely rough night of watching and waiting with the rest of the world, I realized that before I dozed off to sleep I had to compose a song,” says Williams. During that night, she heard the gentle voice of her mentor, Dr. Maya Angelou saying ‘Baby, use your words, find my words,’ which prompted her to use excerpts of Dr. Maya Angelou’s poem, ‘Amazing Peace’ in the spoken word portion of ‘Happy Holiday.’ “When I looked closely at the lyrics, I realized that I had written a song that had all of the makings of a modern day holiday classic.” With “Happy Holiday,” Williams’ R&B and jazzy vocals reflect the traditional sounds of a Christmas classic: Gathered round the table family is everything/Jingle bells familiar smells all the things the season brings/Shiny lights red, green, blue and white Moma’s sweet potato pie/These are the things the holiday brings, things that make your spirit sing.“In a world full of turmoil and strife, true beauty will always find a way to rise above and show us a ray of hope,” Williams continues. “We must all spread love throughout this holiday season and beyond and continue to be inspired. What the world needs now is love, peace, and understanding. I feel doubly blessed to be able to see the creative process work in real time.”
