Having enjoyed a long run of success, Spice has done no wrong. Is she looking to take it down a notch? She speaks on that and more on Onstage. Here she spoke on making space for “Grace Hamilton” and showcasing her versatility, her single “I Love You“, reconciling with her children’s father, 2014 being her best year career wise, and addressing domestic abuse. She also performed a couple songs including “I Love You“. I respect Spice for being one of the best to do it and 2015 is going to be even better. You can catch her at the nearest airport as she’s always flying out for shows. Check out the interview below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Staying higher than mountains today are I Octane, Alkaline and Mavado. In what a few would call an unlikely combination comes “Above Them“. Produced by DJ Frass Records, we hear the trio speak on elevating themselves, looking back at their struggles, achieving success and laughing at those who try to stop them. Interesting to hear these three on one track, but they make it work over a dope DJ Frass production. Three artists who respect each other’s work, and one track that I believe will be a hot one this year. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

When asked about his inspiration surrounding his music, J-Luga shared, “As an artiste and also an individual I find motivation through the struggles I have faced in my life, the real people in and around my circle, the social commentary, negative and positive aspects of everyday living and last but not least the Creature who extended life to us all daily.”
