Tamani Joy – Ryder ft. JustJosh

New video release from Tamani Joy titled “Ryder” ft. JustJosh out now! Stream it below and read our exclusive Q&A with Tamani when your done. 

Explain who you are for those who don’t know?

My name is Tamani Joy, I’m a 22-year-old artist from Baltimore, MD. My influences range between genres, Indie, R&B, Rock and my strongest being Hip-Hop.

How did you come up with your name?

Just as I got comfortable with my previous moniker Zzleepy, it hit me “Tamani Joy.” It’s a combination of my First, Middle and Last name. I felt that the music I was beginning to create was a lot more personal than before, my previous name didn’t necessarily represent much but a metaphor for being high.

Where are you from?
Born and raised in Baltimore, MD

What’s it like growing up where your from?
Baltimore is a small city the East isn’t far from West and everyone knows each other. Good or bad it seems like there’s always something going on. For me I just stay out the way if I’m not working on something at home or at the studio, you’ll likely find me in the backwoods somewhere. As far as the music scene goes we’ve been bubbling a bit and there’s a lot of talent that everyone will soon see.

How did you get into music?

Early on my dad always tried to get me to play drums so that may have been the start. Though, once I really started to get my own ear for music it was easy for me to get started. My early recordings were on a Playstation Eye microphone over whatever instrumentals I could find of my favorite songs. I’d be the first to say I was trash then but I had a drive that allowed me to keep growing to where I am now

What makes you different from other artist?

I feel like I have a different approach with my music especially in a time where not much is said anymore, or the same content and theme is repeated from artist to artist. I find it necessary to have a purpose in my music. While some song are fun and light-hearted I’d like to show you the darker side as well.

What are you currently working on?

At the moment I’m not focused on a particular project but I keep creating, learning and experimenting with new sounds. Striving to push me further every session and every song. I’d like to release 2 EPs throughout the year, I already have a gang of singles ready as well so there could be something dropping before you know it.

SAUCEBoy Drops Off Two New Singles ‘Nose Job’ & ‘Time’

Toronto based artist/producer, SAUCEboy just dropped two new singles; ‘Nose Job’ and ‘Time’ which features Chillaz. The two songs are a great contrast of the artists abilities as both vocalist and composer. The record ‘Nose job ‘is an uptempo, strip club anthem; an ‘ode’ to all the under cover dancers making their money on the low. While ‘Time’ reveals a more vulnerable side of the artist expressing the time wasted on past relationships (accompanied by dope vocals from Toronto artist, Chillaz) bringing a real ‘driving home at 5 AM‘ feel. Check the songs out on SAUCEboy’s soundcloud below:

Explain who you are for those who don’t know
Francis Write, a Rap and R&B artist.

How did you come up with your name?
Saint Francis Xavier, S.J., was a missionary, born in Javier, Kingdom of Navarre, and a co-founder of the Society of Jesus.

Where are you from?
East Riverside.

Whats it like growing up where your from?
It’s an everyday struggle being from the city I’m from, there a lot of disguises of palm trees and sun, and just the name itself seems like a paradise but it’s not always what people picture the city of Riverside to be. A lot of the same people I grew up with are locked up from gang banging but at the same time a lot of us are talented and there is a gold mine of talent waiting to blow up like any of these other cities running the hip hop game right now. I’m trying to bring my city together and be the first to put us on the map with this music because no else has succeeded.

How did you get into music?
Listening to my pops music and producing growing up in Oakland he listened to every type of music there was and it just was something that took ahold of me, and I wanted to be the next great musician hearing that stuff.

What makes you different than other artists?
My work ethic, my substance, and my execution. You can’t get behind a microphone in the booth and expect to be the best if you don’t got no confidence or truth behind what you’re talking about. Thats the difference between good and great, and I’m trying to be great.

What are you currently working on?
Currently, I have a project called ‘How You Make It’ I’m planning on dropping around the end of summer, no official release date yet, but singles are ready.
