Meet Nabiha. Born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, the singer/songwriter recently released her first single and new video entitled “Deep Sleep” on Border Breakers Records. Citing reggae, disco, rock, and R&B as major influences in her music, she also incorporated a Malian lullabye that her mom use to sing to her as a child at the end of “Deep Sleep”.
No news of an album release in the US, but if you’re in Denmark look for it in February 2010. Her video is below.
You may not think you know the dynamic duo by the name of Mama’s Mustache, but you definitely know music of their creation, and may be familiar with a sound that you’ve heard before, but it’s all refreshing at the same time.
So, what does Mama’s Mustache mean, exactly?
“‘Mama‘ means every woman or every lady. ‘Mustache‘ means a man, hence ‘mama’s mustache,’” Jeff explains. “Every woman’s man, or every lady’s boyfriend.”
Consisting of Grammy Award-winning super producer David “Mr. DJ” Sheats (most popular for OutKast’s mega hits, “Ms. Jackson” and “B.O.B.,” and Killer Mike’s “A.D.I.D.A.S.”) and Jeff B., who met in 2003, down with Atlanta’s Dungeon Family, Mama’s Mustache formed back in 2008.
Introducing Kevin “KC” Cossom. He’s the first and feature signee on super-producer, Nate “Danjahandz” Hill’s new label, New Age Rockstars (N.A.R.S.), via Jive Records. But even before a release of any type of album, or single, Kevin is already a veteran in the game.
The 24-year-old Orlando native has worked with many industry heavyweights, and while putting the finishing touches on his currently untitled debut album, has found time to lend his pen to hits such as Keri Hilson’s “Knock You Down,” (which has peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100) as well as hooks and tracks for Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Jeezy and many more.
Young Money artist Shanell, the sultry, triple-threat performer has given us an exclusive listen to her new track, “Play In My Band,” featuring Lil’ Wayne, produced by Willy Will.
Shanell, who has been in the game for quite some time, penning hits for Lil’ Wayne and Kelis, just to name a few, will release A Taste of Shanell, a first listen at the sexier, softer side of Young Money. While working on her debut album, Shanell is also performing alongside Wayne and the rest of Young Money on their America’s Most Wanted tour.
Shanell also tag-teams with former Danity Kane starlet, Aubrey O’Day for a fun-filled girl-on-girl of Eddie Murphy and Rick James’s 1985 hit, “Party All the Time,” produced by Grammy Award-winning producer, Maestro.
We’ve featured these talented guys in our Hot Or Not section a couple of times, but now the singing, songwriting duo Rock City is ready to put out their debut album, hence the release of their mixtape, Put the F’n Album Out! If you think you’re unfamiliar with R. City, you’d definitely be wrong. They’ve penned hits for everyone on the charts, including the Pussycat Dolls, Jennifer Hudson, Janet Jackson, Leona Lewis and tons more.
But now these brothers are ready for their own shine. Make sure you check out the mixtape, full of 17 tracks for your enjoyment.
