Last night, I had the chance to attend DMX’s “It’s Dark and Hell is Hot” 20th Anniversary event at the TLA (Theater of Living Arts) in Philadelphia, Pa. The event was 100% sold out and there was a good reason for it. The Dark Man X released his debut album back in 1998 of May which hit number 1 on Billboard 200. DMX, besides all that he’s been through, didn’t seem to have lost his authenticity or stage presence.

He can still hold it down just like he did back in the day in the golden era of hip hop. Performing the hits like Get At Me Dog and Stop Being Greedy had the crowd of mixed generations rapping every lyric from start to finish. X himself even showed his athleticism to climb on top of speakers and get the audience amped when the Ruff Ryders Anthem beat dropped.

The TLA witnessed a true MC from Yonkers doing his thing and it was made clear why the Dog is a true legend in Hip Hop.

When it Scorpio season and it is your birthday and on that very same day one of your favorite R&B singer’s birthday, the day is already great. What really put it over the top was going out on faith to go to an event that was already sold out and still finding a way to make sure you don’t miss the moment. The moment I’m speaking of is seeing Alex Vaughn celebrate the release of her latest project, The Shift.

After speaking with the executive producer of the project, DJ Money. He shared that this project was a long way in the making and took about a year and a half to produce. This goes without saying but if you have not had the opportunity to listen to The Shift you are truly doing yourself a disservice. This project has all the makings of a great R&B album and you can tell Vaughn held nothing back in expressing her feelings on love and time. This was definitely a feat that took a lot of energy, emotion, and talent to pull off. Vaughn managed to tap plenty of talent wide and far including Odd Mojo, Kora The Artist, Romderful, De’Jour Thomas, Dejuan Crooks, FootsXColes, and more.

At the event, you could just feel the energy of the room of as the love and excitement was on ten the entire night. DJ P Knock and Kevin Bontello also made serious effort to get the crowd ready for Vaughn’s arrival as well. Once Vaughn finally arrived at the venue she snapped photos with several of her friends, family, and supporters as she greeted them with smiles. Once she got settled in everyone in the room sung happy birthday too her as she grinned from ear to ear in joy. Shortly after, she began sharing stories about her latest release including highlighting where the inspiration came from for her song 10 Seconds. She spoke on how that song origin came to her while she was at work frustrated and handling a call at the same time reminding herself to take a quick break to breathe.

As the night moved forward the room would celebrate every track that was played and it only felt like the love and crowd grew throughout the night. Overall it was an incredible night and I’m forever grateful to Alex Vaughn’s parents for pouring in all of the love they have into her for her to create the music she does. I’m also sending a huge shoutout to DJ Money for allowing me to experience this moment in time as I enjoyed my birthday night and it’ll be one I’ll remember for years to come.

Clearly, there must be something in the water as the DMV area just keeps pumping out hot tracks. Kill Moe by Beau Young Prince is one of the most DC tracks out right now off of his latest release Groovy Land and I’m glad he decided to put together a visual for this song as it really highlights the essence of the city. For this visual BYP takes you on a journey by going to a carryout, riding through the city past the historic RFK stadium, all while rapping his dope track at Diet Starts Monday.

It’s been exciting watching his journey from afar as BYP has always remained true to himself and his craft. As always we are excited to see what’s next from the DC rapper. Be sure to press play and enjoy this visual. Also, make sure to follow everything Beau Young Prince below:

As the week would have it only more and more good music keeps entering the universe as bad music exits and that’s a blessing. Today we’ve been blessed with a cover of one of Frank Ocean’s Orange Channel tracks, Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump by Grace Weber is instantly one of my favorite new songs as it captures the true soul and songwriting of the original in a new way. It also speaks true to Weber’s roots as she has decided to shoot the video inside of a church with a sound that speaks directly to the spirit.

After having so much success with her past single, Elated, Weber is diving in deep with covering a song that was on one of the best albums of 2012. In this visual, you will find Weber with her band members putting their soulful spin on Forrest Gump by Frank Ocean. We are excited and proud of the work Weber is adding to the universe and we look forward to her highly-anticipated album. To learn more about Grace Weber check out our interview with the Grammy award-winning recording artist here. If you are hoping to catch Grace Weber live you will definitely want to grab tickets fast as she will be touring with the one and only PJ Morton for his More Gumbo Tour.

Here’s a sultry track from an ATLien that has a sound of a songbird. Girls Need Love by Summer Walker is a song that speaks to the honesty of the taboo of women speaking up and asking for exactly what they want when they want it. For this visual Walker brought out the queen of video shoots, Lacey Duke to direct this beautiful piece. Also, shoutout Maya Table and Sam Frank Productions.

Press play and enjoy. Also, be sure to follow everything Summer Walker below and try to catch her as she’s currently on tour with 6lack:

Anytime a new Eminem feature appears we drop everything to take a listen. Royce da 5’9″ made sure not to be outdone on this track. Changing his flow up over and over again throughout the track, he reminded us of the lyrical powerhouse that was Bad Meets Evil. Eminem was great as always with so many memorable lines like:
