[Single] The Redland - No Sleep
Born and raised in the Redlands of Oklahoma and Louisiana respectively, Kose and Earv were naturally inspired to call the music duo they would go on to form 'The Redland.' But once their individual forms of expression crossed paths and began to meld into a dynamic sound that they considered a "state of mind" and a "voice that brings people together,” The Redland transcended the reference of simply being where they’re from to becoming an all-inclusive artistic movement. Earv and Kos, whose collective influences run the gamut from John Lennon and Bob Marley to The Fugees and OutKast (artists known for their culture-shifting musical contributions), met while matriculated at Morehouse college in Atlanta, GA. Atlanta – which they’ve also adopted as part of their origins - and the Southern Hip Hop culture that defined it became fertile ground for the two, individually, to more deeply explore their musical talents. Then those talents collided. Through either happenstance or fate, it was discovered while in the midst of hanging out with mutual friends that Earv had an affinity for writing and Kos was a capable vocalist and producer. So, the pair decided to play around with creating music together. But what began as playful experimentation turned into production of a unique and compelling sound that deserved to be taken more seriously. Defined as Hip Hop for practical purposes, Earv’s and Kos’s conscious lyrics and hybrid sound - which seamlessly incorporates the myriad genres they were exposed to growing up - began to take on a life of its own. They began hearing their music played by friends and strangers and seeing it gaining momentum on social networking sites without their intervention. That and the realization that Hip Hop as they saw it was stuck in one gear, hitting the same "I'm richer, can get drunker and can have more sex than you” note is when they began seeing their contribution to the art form as more of a responsibility than “having fun.” Things took off from there and The Redland officially became a “Hip Hop movement born out of the soil,” representing those who desired to hear and be heard. “We want the fans to feel they're a part of this inclusive group and they have a say in our direction and the type of music we make," they said. "We also try to look at ourselves honestly and really get that across to our audience. We don't let the genre define us, we define our own music and we're just ourselves. We feel like we have something to say, something to make an impact and we feel like it's something that's needed.

[Single] Papa Duck - Vibing
Hailing from this overlooked corner of the map, rapper/producer Papaduck (@PapaDuck1) has been rippin' stages across the map and building a groundswell of support in the streets the rap game hasn't seen in years. Famous for having some of the richest soil in the world, Belle Glade, Florida not only produces most of the country's sugarcane but also one of the most innovative artists of the new millennium. Backed by respected music veteran Bigga Rankin and Florida's Big Spenda Ent., the underground legend has built his fan base the old fashioned way, connecting directly with the people through grassroots hustlin'. A hip-hop star in the making that can create bangin' tracks and gutter lyrics, Papaduck had to overcome many of life's hurdles to make it to this point. Surrounded by poverty, he found himself swept up in the streets at an early age and wound up getting kicked out of high school. With his life spiraling out of control and towards an inevitable dead end, Papaduck received some impactful advice from his older brother JB, who had his own issues with the law and stepped in to steer the wayward teen in a different direction. It was at that point that Papaduck left the thug life alone for good and turned to music. Today we present his latest track "Vibing", which is sure to get the fans up out their seat and to the dance floor. Listen, Download, Support, and Share.

[Single] Levi Belle - Dollaz
Levi Belle (@LeviBelle) comes to the game with a fresh voice. Youth and creativity have created some of hip-hop’s greatest artists. The vibrancy of a young mind with something to say and the courage to say it has been the basis of the genres’ evolution in the music industry. Belle was born and raised in Cocoa, Florida. Raised in a large family, helmed by his aunt and uncle, he remembers his early exposure to music coming from his uncle, who loved classic, pop, and soul artists; like Al Green, James Brown, and The Beach Boys and played them around the house. While his love for music was nurtured through various gifts on birthdays and holidays, it was his cousin who introduced him to the likes of Lauryn Hill, 2Pac, The Notorious BIG and others. He gravitated to hip-hop and by the age of 8 he was writing his own rhymes and recording over old tapes to practice his sound and delivery as well as to challenge his creativity. As he grew older, he began recording with his cousin who charged him $10 a song and while he never recorded a full project, he took his opportunity to shine at an end of the year event at school in which he rapped a freestyle that was ‘thank you’ to the teachers. The positive response confirmed his dream to be an artist. “Ever since I noticed people would pay attention to me, I wanted to be seen and heard,” Belle says. “I just wanted to wait until the right time. I know people are receptive to different things at different time so timing is everything.” Click [Here] For Full Bio.

[Mixtape] Burga - Never Broke Again WRNR
Antonio Gordon aka Burga (@Burga321), was born and raised in Melbourne, Florida which is located in Brevard County or as Burga likes to call it, Count Down County 321. As the second oldest child of five, his family has always been paramount in his life. Even as a youth Burga remembers having a deep admiration for his parents and their marriage. His oldest brother K-Lo tops the list of his musical influences. K-lo is the one that sharpened Burga's rap skills by engaging in mock rap battles with him. As for the majors, Burga states that 2Pac, the Notorious BIG, Lil Wayne, and Young Jeezy are among the most influential. Burga's life took a turn during his early high school years when his family started experiencing financial difficulties and he felt compelled to help, which cause him to partake in street hustling. Soon later, Burga's attention was solely on hustling and music, which placed school on the back burner and he eventually dropped out in the tenth grade. Years later after several mixtapes and hundreds of shows Mr. Say My Name is ready to take it to the next level with his new label and brand NBA MOB. The acronym stands for Never Broke Again Money Over Sh** and that is his main focus. Burga states, It's all about mindset, fell me, being bout your business. Get money, flip it, take care of ya family, be motivated out here, and never give up. If you on that come vibe with the Mob. Hosting his new street album Never Broke Again is one other than the Street's A&R Bigga Rankin. Bigga states on the mixtape Florida, this is the hardest mixtape in 2014, we got us one. The street album will surely please true core Burga fans. Mixed by 250 Plus the CD has a natural vibe which you can ride to. Burga captures the streets again and true music fans with real life and radio friendly records. Burga's music is undeniable and the WRNR stamp of approval was definitely long over due.
