Rik Reed- It's a "Done Deal"

-->

There are Christian/Inspirational artists, and then there is Rik Reed. This Jacksonville, Florida native is in a league all his own.  He’s a rapper, singer, and music producer that is not limited to just Hip-Hop and Soul; he produces Rock and even Country music as well- he refuses to be constrained to one genre of music.  While listening to Rik Reed’s music, don’t wait for him to get overly religious; he keeps a perfect balance of dope music and Christianity, no matter what your belief is- you can listen to Rik Reed.

            This multi-talent artist does not deny his love for Christ, and he takes pride in spreading the message with swag; however, his album “Done Deal” isn’t just a Christian album, he has songs for the ladies as well, but it’s clean enough for your grandmother to listen too. “Acapella” and “About U” will keep both of your heads bopping. Tracks like “ Bazkin Robinz”, and “Everything was you and me” talks about love and heartbreak without leaving out Christ. “Done Deal” isn’t just music about God, it’s the musical of one man’s life and his love for the man upstairs.

            Rik Reed doesn’t have to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with- he already is. He’s been making music for quit sometime, and just keeps getting better. No matter your faith, your walk of life, or music preference- you will respect the man and the message.

The Voice: Hasan Smith

Some of you may not know this, but I love a man that can sing and this man can “SANG”. Hasan Smith was born in Newark, New Jersey. He’s the 9^th of ten children, and he’s also a comic, playwright, songwriter, and actor; Smith’s music is a blend of Pop, Hip-Hop, and Gospel- Have you ever been thirsty? Oh course you have, so if that tall glass of water (or kool aid) could sing it would sound like Hasan Smith.

Seriously, when I was introduced to the Music Maven’s Rising Star website, Smith was the first artist that caught my attention and impressed me the most. I have no video for you today (don’t forget to watch The Charles Clemmons Project tonight), but I do have three songs for you to hear:

Whatever It Is

Questions

The Deal

I love all three tracks, but Questions is my favorite ( I could listen to it over and over again). Hasan Smith has a voice that the industry is missing.

Enjoy the music

Peace and Blessings

It's the Weekend!!!! (Well it was the weekend, but here is something to help you reflect)

If you’re in college and enjoy Beer Pong, Toga Parties, or any party for that matter- Boy, do I have an EP for you! Red Arlington’s “Long Weekend” is the soundtrack for good times, and college life. If it were up to me, I would call this album- “MIks, You Should Have Gone to a University Vol. 1”. Seriously, I’m kind of jealous! This guy is clearly having more fun than me, but it’s cool, I still have great memories of my community college vacations: Shout out to all my Jamaicans, and Manchester, Mandeville family!

Now back to my thoughts on Red Arlington:

These songs will get stuck in your head; one of my favorite tracks and Red’s first single, “Textually Frustrated” will have you laughing and dancing all at once. Red decided to make an album around these common things: pouring drinks, meeting girls, and yes partying. His goal was to deliver genre less music that could be played all around the country.

You must be wondering what my all time favorite song is on the album, and Why? Well, “It’s the Weekend” is the track I’m just dying to let you hear. This song reminds me of all the times I got “stupid drunk”; the chorus pretty much narrates all the moments I spent at the bar, and the craziness afterwards.

On my 21st birthday, my good friend and I went to a bar and got so wasted. I thought I wouldn’t be able to walk to the car, but all of a sudden she started vomiting on my shoes- I sobered up quickly to help my friend in need, and it pretty much killed the mood ( Hey Girl!). I’m so glad I stopped drinking, but I wish this song was out around that time, it would have made the night more memorable.


So guys, this song is dedicated to all you party animals! Go ahead, push the play button on this YouTube video, I’m sure you’ll love it. When you get a chance go to iTunes and support this artist; play the EP at your next gathering, and stay up till 6 a.m. - I hope you’ll wake up in your bed the next day.



Peace and blessing

Red Arlington’s “It’s the Weekend”

I Like Dat!

 Profanity is the easy way out for this rapper- that’s why he prefers not to use it. This Flint Michigan Hip- Hop artist decided to turn to spirituality and add “Minister” next to his hustler name “Kaine”. Minister Kaine was using & selling drugs at an early age, he even participated in gang activities, but one day things changed. He was advised by the manager of “Tribe Called Quest” to pursue music- and he did just that.

This energetic performer has traveled through the East &West Coast with other artist such as The Ghetto Boys, Scarface, 8Ball & MJG, A Tribe Called Quest, McEhit, and the Late Great Tupac Shakur; he has also enjoyed television placements on MTV’s Laguna Beach, My Super Sweet 16, and MTV Cribs. MK has released his fourth album “The Dead Hood Scrolls” which include Real Out Here (featuring a verse from The Game) and my personal favorite Shawty Like That. This is an Official Club Banger! It’s one of those songs you can drop it low too and have fun with. The hook is very catchy, and this rapper has a wicked (meaning GREAT) lyrical flow- no wonder it’s rapidly getting air play around the country. 

Now, if you see me riding around Florida & my car is vibrating, just know I have Shawy Like That on heavy rotation. I’m usually not a big fan of something like this- most rap artist use degrading and disgusting words towards women- this song has none of that. The song does contain adult content but don’t worry, there are no “F Bombs”, the horrid “B word”, or Sugar Honey Ice Tea’s here. So Enjoy!

Peace and Blessings

Let Me Jump By Chris Marsol and MIks Favorite Song of the Year! Red Hot Track! Check it!

“What What” It’s Time You Heard ZuQuan!

I have an artist that you are just going to love! ZuQuan is a singer/songwriter from Chattanooga, TN. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York; he has collaborated with artist such as RUN-DMC, Eddie F, Jack Knight, Phil Hamilton (guitarist), and Gordon Chambers.  After going on tour with RUN- DMC, he would have a very interesting story to tell, “…I was entrusted with the keys to the group’s limousine. But after the show, I was so caught up with meeting people and greeting fans that I prevented the group from having a speedy exit from the venue. It was a very, very long ride home when I finally unlocked the limo doors.” I can imagine it was, ZuQuan, but it’s hard to imagine Rev. Run being angry: he seems so calm.

ZuQuan worked with Tyrone Corbet and Robert Donzella of Bo-Ty Productions, LLC - The place with the “Label Sound”- for his single, “What What”. The song is a musical gumbo of adult R&B and Smooth Jazz with an acoustic guitar to top it off.  It’s the kind of song you can listen to while riding out in your 2009 BMW 3 Series Convertible with your hair blowing in the wind, and everyone in traffic has their eye on you- turn your speakers up, so they all know this music is only for the “Grown and Sexy”- but if you don’t have a BMW your car will do just fine (I don’t have one either). Oh yeah, fellas, if you want to send that girl a subliminal message, this is the tune for you: You can ask her, “What What”, and bop your head at the same time.  I give this song all stars. You can buy ZuQuan’s, “What What” at Amazon.com, iTunes, and   

Rhapsody.  For more information on this artist and other
