Meet D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey, who make up the duo, Chester French. These two Harvard graduates wrote, arranged, produced and engineered their album, tentatively titled Love the Future in their dorm’s basement. Last December, their demo found its way around the industry and got them attracting offers from heavyweights like Kanye West, Jermaine Dupri, Pharrell Williams and Jimmy Iovine.
Mika Means is 1/3 of the songwriting, producing and performing threesome, The Girls Club. You’ve never heard her music, but you’ve heard some songs that she’s penned. Mika has worked with artists Kelis, Mya, 3LW, Lloyd, and Usher, as well as producers like Polow Da Don and Bangladesh. But now she’s stepping out on her own and trying her luck. “Spend Ya Money” is a playful, mid-tempo track that speaks to a woman who knows what her man wants, but all she wants to do is spend his money.
When I first heard the track, the production put me in the mindset of “Soulja Girl.” The song is very radio-ready. I’ve seen Mika perform before, so I know this girl can sing. I’m thinking that the vocoder effect that T-Pain is most popular for using is just something to get her familiarized with radio. “Spend Ya Money” has been all over the radio here in Atlanta, after popular DJ Greg Street premiered it.

Say hello to Stacy Epps. When I first heard her, of course the first influence that popped into my mind was Amel Larrieux, of whom I happen to be a big fan of. Stacy, who would never denounce hip hop as her first love, rattles of the names of KRS 1, MC Lyte and Queen Latifah as some of her main influences.
Her first single, “Floatin’” is a mellow, grooving track that has been getting a lot of love as of late. Her album is slated to drop in July, and will be what Stacy calls a “truly independent venture.”
Make sure you guys show Stacy some love and let her know what you think of her music!
London is one of the newest signees to Motown Universal and his been grinding for a long time to get his spot. This is his new single, “One 2 Many,” which is slated to hit radio soon. “One 2 Many” is an uptempo track that sort of puts me in the mindset of “Lost In Love” by Polow Da Don’s boy group, i15 with its hard guitar and drum pattern.
London has impressive many label executives with his live performances and showcases, so it seems as though big things are in place for the young crooner.
