Dolla Plaza releases "can't pay for this" along with other hits these last few months. "Did it for" was finally released after the long wait. Dolla made a few special appearances in the underground showcases performing his smash single "Locco Life" along with other indie superstars on the rise.
"Can't pay for this" is by far the happiest uptempo, most catchy, flow smoothly song out. Dolla dropped the offical music video for "can't pay for this" with his whole team of Plaza's supporters.
Not stopping there... with music listeners demanding more tunes, Dolla Plaza went on and recently dropped his "October thirsty first" album Christmas day as a gift to all his supporters. Scary but true.
1959 Martin D-18E has a starting estimate of $1 million
The guitar Kurt Cobain played during Nirvana ’s famed MTV Unplugged in New York concert is headed to auction with a starting estimate of $1 million.
The guitar is a 1959 Martin D-18E, and the auction lot also comes with the original hard-shell case that Cobain had adorned with a flyer for the band Poison Idea’s 1990 album, Feel the Darkness. (The case is also stamped with three baggage-claim ticket stubs and an Alaska Airlines sticker.) Inside the case is a half-used pack of Martin guitar strings, three picks, and a “suede ‘stash’ bag” that’s decorated with a small silver spoon, fork, and knife.
“This important guitar has earned its rightful place in rock & roll history as the instrument played by one of rock’s most influential musicians and icons in one of the greatest and most memorable live performances of all time,” Darren Julien, president and CEO of the auction house, said in a statement.
Along with the Unplugged guitar, the “Music Icons” sale will feature other Nirvana lots, including a smashed Fender Strat Cobain used during the 1994 In Utero tour, the silver lamé shirt he wore in the “Heart-Shaped Box” video, the typed set list from the Unplugged concert, and the lyric sheets he used for “Plateau,” “The Man Who Sold the World,” and “Lake of Fire.” Last October, the cardigan Cobain wore during Unplugged sold at Julien’s Auctions for a record $334,000 .

The latest single Show Me Something was selected by the Spotify editorial team to appear on the "A breath of fresh Eire" editorial playlist
When you hear Dodd Michael Lede’s Americana/Blues infused southern rock stylings, it’s clear this Houston transplant, from New York via Los Angeles, is deliberately trying to make a permanent brand for his style of music. Lede is a natural born talent in the songwriting arena. He has a knack for finding melodies that hook you, but also make you pay attention. He is a story teller with a penchant for descriptive word-play.
If you look a little bit closer, you find out that his success isn’t an overnight run, but rather the byproduct of an artist working tirelessly, seizing every opportunity and breaking free of genre conformity.
From his grassroots beginning, it was evident that Lede was destined for greatness. He has earned a reputation as a leader in his field by setting the bar high, and then going above and beyond his own expectations. He is constantly challenging his piers to step up their efforts. He is an advocate of the DIY philosophy, and has taken measures to insure that his fans leave with nothing less than a spectacular experience and a story to tell their friends.
Under his indie label, Sonic Smack Records, Lede has constructed an enticing stage production, recording studio, and a management team to handle every aspect of his career, and he is now expanding his musical community to help others with their personal musical endeavors.
No doubt that his latest release “Perfect Storm,” hot on the heels of the sultry favorite, “Memory Interrupted,” is gaining accolades and is propelling Lede in the Houston Rock charts, where he has resided in the top 10 for the past 15 weeks.
He is at the forefront of the singer/songwriting class of 2020. His musical flexibility makes a bold statement that he will not be bound to one specific musical genre.
Although his musical childhood was spent fronting rock bands throughout the greater Houston area, his songwriting has matured into a more polished and refined Americana pop sensibility. He is continuously redefining his musical identity to incorporate flavors from other genres.
Lede was born in New York, but spent most of his formative years in Los Angeles before eventually being forced to relocate to Houston when his father accepted a new job offer. Each of these unique city’s has had a major impact in influencing Lede’s songwriting and musical direction and growth.
Universal Love is an experiement in letting other people into the creative process. This collaboration was between myself and Mark Cashin from The Little Hussies and Jake Hunt his lead guitarist. The result was firstly an outrageous time in the studio where things worked incredibly well, and secondly a slick product thanks to the Engineering of Russel Pilling courtesy of Damien Gerard Studios.

THE SOUND OF ZOUW
The hula is Zouw's latest single and it slaps!
The Hula is the new single by hip hop artist and producer, Zouw, which in his own words, has a distinctive 'bounce and bump' feel.
The Hula is set to be released to all digital stores as an introductory single and the calling card to a new full-length project in the works.
The track showcases the musical direction that Zouw will take on a full length project. While his previous work has been very much steeped in socio-concscious rhetoric, Zouw takes up a more irreverent and playful tone on his latest recordings.
This is sure to appease the casual hip hop and music listener, although Zouw will maintain a high level of lyrical craftiness and creativity.
Kofi: An international collision of an undefined melodic presence
Bringing versatility with an international melodic passion to life musically; Kofi is ready to make a long-standing imprint in his career. Introducing his debut project entitled “Love is Pain,” Kofi has been building his music catalogue. He has already collaborated with artist that include Quality Control’s own Lil Baby and Kollision, Derez DeShon, and Don Q just to name a few. Artist, Producer and Songwriter; Kofi presents a project that will steer passion, emotion, presence and a distinct sound to keep his uniqueness fresh. “Love is Pain” comes from life events and experiences, relationship encounters and obstacles that has shaped his drive and determination to succeed limitlessly.
“From pain, love, heartbreaks and learning experiences, I’m able to express that through my music being presented to the world. This project isn’t just a release for my own experiences, but relatable to so many people’s lives as well. You can’t experience love without pain, and pain cannot truly be felt in life without the feelings that come from love. Love is Pain is an expression of living life abundantly while embracing your journey with the good, bad, highs and lows.” Kofi adds.
Kofi is more focused on the development behind his artistry. His is honing a household international brand that combines a mix of his Ghanaian culture and his love of the diversity in the American music arena. Born as Nana Kofi Okyere Baffour Katinka Amponsah II in Kumasi, Ghana, raised in Ohio, and recently moved to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue building his career in music and entertainment. His multicultural upbringing gives his talent an accelerated boost in creating a lane of his own in his lyrical keen and melodic delivery. Kofi charismatically infuses his love of Afrobeats, R & B and Soul on his EP project.
“Love is Pain” is about creating a musically infused connection with my fans. We all experience these emotions, and some of us utilize our life as an example to express where these feelings have taken our journey out loud for others to be able to embrace their paths more openly. My direction in creating music derives from a mood felt, or a mood or event that I am currently faced with, so the collection on my debut project will stream various moods. For example, the song "Deserve it" is from loving someone strongly and the ride behind these feelings. And another track entitled, "Young & Deadly" is another song that stands out that is a tribute to my brother that recently passed away.” – Kofi explains.
Kofi’s professional path in music began at nine years old as the pianist for his church. From there, his attraction to production came at just eleven years old where he would sneak and play around on music production programs on his father’s computer. Once he realized he had a story to tell, Kofi began to add words behind his own production. Passionate, driven, determined while stemming involvement in his growth as a man before the artist, Kofi opens a musical dialogue from real-life events and messages throughout his new project. His artistry isn’t about just making a hit song or project, Kofi wants it to be meaningful while building a fanbase as he is establishing his own imprint on a long-term manner.

Songwriter and rock artist Bill Davidson has just released a self titled record called Space Jacket. He is a rock artist originally from North Carolina. Bill is a published Nashville songwriter with three writing deals behind him and a working road musician. The title track 'Space Jacket', is a guitar heavy story song with a musical and lyrical ride worth listening to. "'Cowboy Superstar' is the devil in the details of being a signed Country artist. Or any artist" is how Bill explains writing this song. "I've seen hundreds come and go. Having a deal and keeping yourself is the challenge," Bill says about the acts he's seen over the years. 'Fame' is just a wild ride. "Everyone knows someone in this song," says Bill. " 'I Feel The Same' is a song about betting your ex thinks about you as much as you think about them, Bill explains." This side of his creativity seems to be resonating quickly with fans. Bill cut this record in Nashville at Willisoundz with friend and session guitarist John Willis. Bill wrote all songs and produced all tracks as well.

Recording Artist Johnny Reed Launches New Concept Album "ALTERNATE REALITY 7"
and Takes Music Fans Where No Eye Can Follow!
"Alternate Reality 7", release date September 13, 2019, is singer/songwriter Johnny Reed's 7th solo Album. Johnny’s music takes over where Classic Rock left off and launches it into the future. You'll feel the presence of Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Queen, Elton John, CSN, David Bowie and even Hendrix, but the music is so unique, definitely quite enigmatic!
On this concept album, Johnny addresses the varied shades of alternate realities. There is the reality of our lives, and then there are the alternate realities we can create. These are situations, physical or in our thoughts, where we can express who we really are, be free flowing and happy, despite the practical structured life that surrounds us. Whether it's with your mind, your clothes, hair, tattoos, piercing, sex, drugs, or through others, it's up to each of us to search and make our alternate realities happen.
By doing everything on the album, Johnny has control to express himself on several levels in every aspect of the music. Johnny plays all the instruments: guitars, drums, keyboards, & vocals and loves to get lost in the passions that each one of them creates in his songs. Johnny Reed produced the album 2018 – 2019, and recorded it in THE MUSIC ROOM ® Studios in Redondo Beach, CA, USA.
In the past, Johnny has created many unique project experiences for major entertainment companies. Johnny was the Voice of King Kong in all merchandising for the Peter Jackson/Universal Pictures® film KING KONG. Johnny was a consultant to James Cameron on the film TITANIC, and on and on…
