Great People - The Higher Side (EP)


I listened based off of UHTN's own LowKey opinion...
"I have NEVER heard of these guys, but off first listen? Their music is pretty dope. They’re called Great People based out of Orlando Florida. Their music is somewhat trippy with slick lyrical banter that you just have to rock to. The beats have a drop of Jazz influence but keeps the hip-hop feel without attempting to keep it if that makes sense. Out of the five track project, “Tunnel Vision” is my favorite. I’ll provide a link IN the tracklisting just so you can preview their product and decide whether or not you want to download the offering. But if you had to ask me? I think you should!" 
 and I must say it was definitely worth it!
Hey Lowkey!

Micahfonecheck - G.I.A featuring Kendrick Lamar


So, my favorite LA Songwriter, Producer, Singer, humble guy, Micahfonecheck is finally starting to let the singles out. He teamed up with fellow LA Native Kendrick Lamar for this uptempo banger. Though the track is a little different for Kendrick, he delivers, as usual. Micah does no wrong in my book. He's well established in the songwriting world, and now he's branching out and becoming the artist. I'm exited for this. He's a true talent with many gifts. (The writing, his ear for music and his amazing voice, just to name a few.) Micah is amazing and I cannot wait for the world to take to him! Keep it up!

ThisisRNB TV Interview's Songwriter Claude Kelly



"ThisisRnB recently caught up with 3x Grammy nominated songwriter Claude Kelly for an in-depth interview. In this clip Claude talks about flourishing R&B singer Luke James.
I want more people to see Luke do what he does … the more people that see him live and what he can do, they are going to be blown away. Luke can sing anybody out of the water…and he is charming, he’s a star, he has stage presence, he’s a cool dude, very humble, very nice. If all’s fair in this world, he’ll get the shot that he deserves, and he’ll be a very successful artist.” 
Claude is not only a huge fan of Luke, but they have collaborated together on 3 songs for the New Orleans native’s debut album. “They are R&B records, and the focus was his voice, everyone else is trying to be slick, auto-tune it up…I was like dude just sing! It’s a melody and he is saying honest stuff… it wasn’t complicated.”
Watch as Claude co-signs Luke, and talks about their studio session. Stay tuned for more from our interview with Claude Kelly coming soon!

Meek Mill - Faded Too Long (Video)


Meek uses this "Faded Too Long" video to show the good he does in his community. Although some people has him painted as this "hood gangster" he shows that he is concerned with helping better his community. Meek and Lou Williams, who plays for the Philadelphia 76er's and happens to be one of Meek's best friends make sure during the winter the less fortunate in Philly have the things they need for the winter. From Winter coats, to hats, scarves and gloves, these guys do the best that they can. It's rare to see people of their caliber who are actually hands on with their charity's and dealing with giving back. So with that being said I applaud Lou and Meek for all the work they do that goes unnoticed.
