club killa

NEW YORK, NY (August 20, 2014) – 2014 has proven to be the most successful year thus far for DJ Kevin Crown. The young DJ also known as the Natural Born Club Killa kicked off 2014 as a honoree for the Young Gifted and Black Entrepreneurial Awards, taking home “DJ of the Year”. He gladly accepted his award stating; “with all the road blocks and obstacles I have faced throughout my career, it is good to know my talent was able to shine through”. Kevin’s mom surprised the Club Killa by appearing in his presentation video, she thanked God for blessing her with such a wonderful and talented son. Not only was it an emotional video, but it also confirmed for many why he was being given such a wonderful honor. (watch video here: http://youtu.be/A8sXDZ0zEso) Kevin has always impressed any audience he has entertained, but you know he must be something special if a NYC DJ has been asked to frequent Jamaica’s newest popular hot spot Fiction Fantasy on a monthly basis. No other DJ has been able to accomplish what Kevin has done in less than a year. His goals are a little different from the average DJ, his vision for his career speaks volumes to why he works so hard and manage to stay in demand. Fiction’s owner David “Squeeze” Annakie said it best when asked, Why Kevin Crown, “Kevin is not just a DJ, he is an entertainer. He gets into your social adrenaline and raises it to another level. No other DJ I have come across has been able to do what he does”. That’s not all for this talented human being, making his acting debut this year in the highly anticipated movie “Jamaican Mafia” you will see Kevin Crown on the big screen playing a member of the mafia clan called “Kat”. The director and producer of the movie can’t stop singing Kevin’s praises as they watched him bring his character to life. The movie premieres in NYC August 27th and we can’t wait to see what the Club Killa in action. To learn more about Kevin Crown, visit his website www.kevincrownmusic.com.

a game promo card

Recording artiste A-Game has recently completed his European tour with Konshens and Di Bluprint Band. The ‘A-Game Everyday’ artiste who visited Portugal, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Denmark performed at several popular festivals such as Summer Jam Festival, Musa Festival and Oland Roots Festival just to name a few. “It was a great experience as well as a personal eye-opener; I was able to promote myself and assist in building the Subkonshus Brand” shared A-Game.

A-Game who is also the lead singer of Di Blu Print Band added that this was his first time touring with the Subkonshus CEO Konshens abroad but that he had worked with him on several shows in Jamaica. “I received such a positive feedback on this tour especially when Konshens introduced me as a new artiste in festivals that sometimes host up to 20000 people” A-Game further added. The tour which lasted for roughly one month also featured Subkonshus artiste Javada and producer Markhize.

When asked about his most memorable moment on tour he laughingly shared “On my day off from touring, it was the same day Brazil was playing Germany and I predicted the 7-1 victory for Brazil; the vibes was good and people were calling me a prophet because who would have predicted such a score but I did”. A-Game is set to release his first official collaboration with prominent UK DJ/Producer Benny Page; he was also recently featured on popular radio station, Reggae Vibes Radio Atlanta and Power 102.1 FM Boston.

Interview: @KingBiggsSOL

Posted on by swadedavillain

I0qcBTmEKing Biggs a.k.a. Julian Morrison, was born in St. Andrew, Jamaica. He is the Co-Founder of the Jamaican Hip Hop Label/Collective, Sons Of Liberty. Considered the “Mutant” of S.O.L., Biggs has been responsible for a number of S.O.L. releases since its inception in 2006 whether through his productions, or his lyrics. With the release of his upcoming project, “XXII” drawing near, 13th Street Promotions took the time out to have a chat with King Biggs to learn about his sound, his “XXII” project, and some of his favourite creations.

Who is King Biggs?

King Biggs is an artiste that produces and composes music as well who specializes in Hip Hop, Dancehall and Reggae Fusion. I always seek to break down rules and barriers but in such a way that paying homage to original elements is included. I believe that art is more innovation over imitation than the inverse.

As a Producer and Rapper, you tend to have more options when creating, describe your sound?

I mostly create Hip Hop, Dancehall and Reggae Fusion even though I’m not limited to that. I call my sound “Rich Noise” and it’s all about taking the main/traditional elements of each genre and bending them into something interesting. I really like to be surprised when I listen to music, so I aim to provide that for my listeners in different ways. My sound could be Pharrell inspired in one beat, Kanye in another with a Lee Perry sample in the background. All in all I leave my mark on everything I do, so it’s not typical or monotonous to the audience. That’s just whack!

Who are your influences?

My influences mostly stem from Hip Hop in the 90’s/00’s, Dancehall from that same era, Oldies ballads and Disco music. This includes Dr Dre, Dave Kelly, Gavin Blair (Gavsborg) from Equiknoxx Music, Timbaland, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Quincy Jones and Lee “Scratch” Perry. A lot of music was around me when I was developing because there was the radio on RJR all day, the loud Encava buses that drove pass St Richard’s every day and the people who blared their stereo systems when picking up younger siblings or children at the schools I attended. A childhood friend, Belinda Cousins also taught me a lot about music and gave me access to the work that should shape my identity today.

RAINE SEVILLE CREATES A BUZZ IN BARBADOS

Raine Seville is constantly reinventing herself and this time she’s fighting for her spot on top! The “Mad Dem” artiste recently released her new single “Suh Wi Roll” on the Task Force Riddim which was Bajan produced. The single is a counteraction to a track on the same rhythm done by Bajan buzzing artiste Brutal Crankstar’s “Badman Nuh Lip” which is currently one of the most played songs in Barbados. “This song is very different from what persons hear from me, I am versatile and I love proving people wrong” shared Raine. She further added, “Suh Wi Roll basically defends women who are sexy, beautiful, and living a great life but can also make that transition if needs be, to become soldiers on the battlefield”.

“Suh Wi Roll” produced by DonWrita Records was written by Striker and Raine Seville and is steadily growing a fan base in Barbados. Additionally, Raine whose new booking agent is Headline Entertainment released her first soca single entitled “Brace Back” produced by Bajan radio personality Jon Doe and Gorg. “I love surprising persons and this song is also very different it’s sexy, fun and an up-tempo dance track for the ladies” Seville shared.

With the successes of her Barbados trip Raine has also opted to premiere her latest video “Bajan Wuk” which was collaborative effort between Brutal Crankstar and herself. The video directed by Supa Frost and Scenes Entourage was shot in Barbados and its YouTube version has created shock waves amongst her fans because of its provocative nature. “My music grows more and more each day, I believe in reinventing myself and this is what makes me different from many female acts” Raine shared. Seville is set to premiere her new video for “Bajan Wuk” on local television next week.
