Led by producer and singer/songwriter Leibel Cohen, the band breaks down geographical barriers to create music that is both innovative and authentic. With a diverse lineup and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of the country genre, Bunk 9 is making waves in the music industry with their unique sound and collaborative approach.
M9 is a collaboration of the Emcee/Poet Rasar
Amani and the Producer...Styles1001. The
two artists met in the studio for the first time
in 2009 to work on Styles’ debut album “The
Solution”. A brotherhood was formed, and the
rest is what they call history.
In 2013, Rasar approached Styles about
forming a duo called M9 and putting together
an album called “The Mellow 9”. The idea was
to have a thought provoking, jazz inspired,
hip-hop album. Hence the name “Mellow”. The
album name eventually evolved to “The M9
Project”.
“The M9 Project” which is an album not
sounding like anything we’ve heard before.
Rasar’s smooth but deliberate lyricism/poetry
withholds no punches while Styles delivers that
jazzy, melodic, boom-bap sound he’s known
for. All in all, this album is one for the ages,
brought to you by two of the finest to do it.
THIS ONE IS FOR THE CULTURE.

Plunky & Oneness/Rasul the Knowbody - "I ll Be There" Hip-Hop Remix
Richmond, VA - Plunky & Oneness, the Afro-funk jazz group known for their eclecticism and genre-busting explorations, released their latest single, “I’ll Be There,” on N.A.M.E. Brand Records. The single marked a departure from their usual sound, with a reggae-influenced R&B track that showcases Plunky’s heartfelt vocals and emotional lyrics.
“I’ll Be There” is a song about loyalty and fidelity, with a lover pledging their devotion to their long-term partner. Plunky composed the melody and lyrics over a drill rhythm track produced by his son, Fire, and DJ Diallo. The sparse, dub-reggae rhythm track spotlights the song’s poignant message and soulful performance by Plunky and his background singers.
The “I’ll Be There” music video, shot on location in Montego Bay, Jamaica, features breathtaking footage of the tropical setting and creates a wistful backdrop for the lover’s pledging declaration. The video with its aerial drone footage was directed by Fire and edited by Plunky.

DJ Papa D, MC and music director of Dub Party FM Radio in Jamaica, has already been playing preliminary mixes of “I’ll Be There” on his radio show, and receiving tremendous responses from his listeners. Plunky said, “The feedback from Papa D and his audience has been encouraging and validates the vibrancy of the track and the universal sentiment of the song.”
Plunky has been at the forefront of Afro-centric jazz, funk, and go-go for over 50 years. He has woven these interrelated musical forms into a forward-looking message of empowerment, positivity, and cultural awareness. Plunky and Oneness of Juju's landmark African Rhythms record was released in 1975 on the pioneering D.C.-based indie label Black Fire. Plunky's band found itself able to move with the times, scoring early '80s house/disco hits and touring in both Europe and Africa. In recent years, Plunky has recorded in an urban/contemporary vein.
“These days I am still producing a wide variety of songs in various genres, from experimental cosmic jazz to Afro-beats to R&B funk to smooth instrumentals and hip-hop. So, while we’re doing a few reggae joints, I can’t say that this represents a whole new, singular direction for us,” Plunky said.
“I’ll Be There” is sure to be a standout addition to Plunky & Oneness' extensive catalog, showcasing their continued growth and experimentation as artists.

" StereoAtypical " by Tokyo Metano x iRoc Omega is a ten song release virtually independent of any superstar features, yet it still fearlessly stands out by daring to be different. With one living in Japan and the other in the US, the unlikely duo met by chance via SoundCloud and one propositioned the other to do a project together.
The end result is a unique interpretation of rap music infused with elements of true hip hop, the sounds of Japan, and a grittiness that only real life experiences in streets on US soil can provide. Atypical mannerisms collide with a presumed stereotype and crushes that theory with " StereoAtypical ." 
Tokyo Metano is a Japan based producer, composer, songwriter, and topliner focusing on Hip Hop, Reggaeton,

The lead song in this EPK was also the last song recorded for the album. I needed one more song so I made it up from what ever I was feeling was right at the time. In a few days I had lyrics about the condition of our World today. In the song I refer to our World today as that of a run away train out of control. I quote " the train is a runaway, stay on board , enjoy the ride." At the time, I myself did not know what this song was about. Then it hit me right in the face one day as I listened to the second verse lyrics " Today the War machine is going strong. Is there something wrong. Are we OK."
One of the Violin players on the song is a girl from Kharkov Ukraine. The other I was told was from Turkey. I then found the Violin players I thought was from Turkey is actually Russian and only in Turkey because he feared for his life after publicly protesting Mr. Putin"s war.
Turns out the song is about the Russian/Ukrainian War even when I had no idea what I was making the song about. It has both a Russian and Ukrainian Violin player on it working together. I often call it the War song. It's actual name is " Are we OK." All the players on the song found it interesting how the song came to be while some of us where actually living through this war. The song is also featured here on the video.
It scored a 7.9 on my reverbnation crowd reveiw. It is the highest score I have ever received.
The second song " Hello, Goodby " is an attempt to remember and capture the feeling of the 1980s which I grew up during. It scored a 7.8 on my reverbnation crowd reveiw and for the first time it felt like I was actually being appreciated as an Artist by the critics. I think because they got to see me in the video they realized am an actual human being. Both songs where choosen for curation by reverbnation.
My third solo album Radio Songs is scheduled for release on Febuary 14, 2023. It is available for presale on all music platforms. Preveiw clips of all 12 songs can me heard on my website denedie.com/presale page.
I also have preveiw clips of all 12 songs with download links at denedie.hearnow.com.
Thankyou for checking out my songs.
