Bomber Announces His Debut Single!

Tuesday, October 9th, 2012

SoundCloud Link

With a successful promotional campaign Bomber has been creating the right kind of attention, and literally has exploded. With his own style that consists of infectious pop melody and awesome hip-hop beats. Adrian Sykes at EMI had to comment, “He has success written all over him!” He has been featured on the online publication NewQuod and has started turning heads already. Announced today is Bomber’s debut single Amazing, the track will be released on the 28th October.

Bomber started his journey with the release of ‘On My Way,’ which features the producer on vocals and has brought Bomber a good amount of new fans. The new track Amazing is set to be the song of the dance floors with a catchy beat, a brilliant dance floor smash to chase away the winter blues. The beat was produced by Tyler Smith of Tyler Smith Productions and features a 90s style piano mixed with an upbeat synth.

Bomber has always had a flare for music from such a young age. He grew up in North London with his Jamaican mother and his older siblings. Music was always playing and smooth reggae beats were definitely the catch of the day. At a young age when Bomber aka Kirk Edwards first got into MCing he used to attend MC battles and was even featured on ‘Heat FM.’

Bomber has been signed but the label he was signed to went into liquidation leaving him unsigned, but now he has a new management and a great team behind him to bring his music to the UK’s ears, this has been dubbed his year. Already he has performed with the likes of Chipmunk another British rapper and also completed a University Tour which spread like wild fire. To date though Bomber also managed to bag himself a space at this year’s Surface Festival and scored the most points EVER in their competition.

With his first debut single planned to be released on the 28th October, it’s time to give him the spotlight and watch him shine as Amazing hits the dancefloors…

MusicDishTV Presents “Winner” By Devotion

Monday, August 27th, 2012

Christian reggae/hip hop artist Devotion’s music video “Winner” is a visually engaging, inspirational, and encouraging video about being a “Winner” because of a relationship with God. Set to a hip hop/reggae groove with a nice hook, that’s very nice. with a very inspirational message and a very nice hook. Devotion spits her rhymes with Christian lyrics done in a really cool and hip way. With a strong voice and presentation, she exudes positivity, presenting the image of a strong young woman whose life is in control because of The One who is in control. It’s a refreshing look at the other side of hip hop, and Devotion is a natural at both the rhymes and video performance. The video unfolds to tell of a “courtship” where the guy is coming with game, and she is not the least bit fooled or conned into going for it because she has a self-confidence that comes from an inner strength that doesn’t let you down. She is a smooth rapper and the reggae beat is very danceable. The groove is so strong that this could easily cross over to other musical genres. The video is professionally shot and very well produced.

MusicDishTV Presents “Top 5″ By MC Kublakai

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

Northwest born MC Kublakai’s video and track, “Top 5,” is a semi-chronicle of the young rapper’s journey into the world of hip hop. It’s a really cool, honest, and refreshing look into Kublakai’s life and his discovery of the big names in the game of rap. “Top 5″ is a tribute to hip hop and the artists who helped shape the genre and change the industry and culture that, like Rock and Roll, is now a huge part of the American way of life. Big props for this history lesson set to a deep beat. Kublakai flows effortlessly as he weaves a story of his own life and how it was impacted by hip hop, leading to much respect for it. He mentions and shows a lot of the greats from back in the day who made all of us wake up to rap and hip hop. The video is smooth and entertaining, and though it is most the young talent as he spits, there are other well placed visuals. Kublakai has a great sound, and one that is actually distinctive, which is both a rarity and a treat. And there’s just something about him that makes you want to like him, which is probably the fact that he comes off as being very genuine. The video, which is professionally shot and produced, is very strong and accomplishes its goal of showing the great love that exists for the music and the connection hip hop music has to the past. This is an excellent video, and a very good performance from an artist that this reviewer would like to see and hear a lot more from.

Kublakai Releases His Newest Video, TOP 5

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

In hip-hop, many things can be debated. What is the difference between hip-hop vs. Rap? What is the best direction for the future of the culture? How did it begin? Who was the real father of hip-hop? But there is one subject that tends to get tempers flaring and emotions higher than any other… Who are the top 5 best rappers to ever pick up the mic?

Today, dynamic, Northwest born MC, Kublakai, fresh off his tour with half of the legendary Binary Star rapper One Be Lo, poses that question to you with his new video, Top 5. In it, Kublakai waxes poetic about his favorite moments learning of this culture we all so deeply love and debate over.

The video, directed by Zac McConnell (director for other Northwest up-and-comers, Sol (2020) & Grynch (Perspective)) has a tone similar to the song; nostalgic and personal. There is a dreamlike quality to McConnell’s past work and this is no different. Well framed with lots of up-close and personal shots of Kublakai while he shares his stories and seemingly never-ending hip-hop collection.

This is Kublakai’s FOURTH video (previous videos: The Basics 2, One of a Kind & Rock that $#!+) from his sophomore album, The Basics 2 released independently. It is available via his bandcamp page and on Itunes. Kublakai tours consistently around the country and you can find show dates on his website peepgame.wordpress.com. He is currently working on new material and is throwing his first ever festival, Noisemaker Fest, which will take place at Nectar Lounge in Seattle, Wa on Saturday, September 8th.

Be sure to catch Kublakai Live on stage in your city after checking out his new video.

Bizarre Or What? Gay Rapper Threatens To Sue Fans If They Refuse To Download Upcoming Mixtape

Friday, July 20th, 2012

In an extremely bizarre audio clip preview of his upcoming mixtape, “Zero Percent P—y”, controversial East Coast gay rapper Cocky da Homo MC, no stranger to hip hop headlines, took up almost 10 minutes of the mp3 in a manic diatribe, ranting almost hysterically against his haters, a former manager from Florida who “works for PETA yet eats hamburgers,” and also his fans, going as far as to threaten to actually sue them if they do not download the upcoming street album. The preview, released earlier today at Retwedia.com, shot up almost immediately to the top most streamed music clips of the day.

Perhaps even more shocking in the preview is the inclusion of a song that may just be the very first “pro-snitching” hip hop anthem ever with lyrics such as, “I ain’t afraid to snitch, Cocky will (m’f'ing) tell,” and “I will call the police, stoop that low dog I will.”

The rapper has released the following statement: “I sincerely apologize for the rant, it was ridiculous and everything I said has no basis in reality or fact. Don’t sue me.”

“Zero Percent P—-y” is slated to be released in two weeks, with appearances from Skyy Blue and Josef Eugene.

MusicDishTV Presents “Trim Pounds” By Mr. Garth-culti-Vader

Monday, July 16th, 2012

West coast rapper Mr. Garth-culti-Vader’s video “Trim Pounds” starts off with Kanye West’s song Gold Digger being played, and a young white man smoking while he cleans what looks like a club. He goes over to the turntable, then starts the music over, and while it is still Kanye’s music, Mr. Garth-culti-Vader has put his own rhymes to it, telling about the marijuana lifestyle in California. The video alternates from that point between showing him rapping on stage and in the bathroom cleaning. A second janitor appears and immediately begins dancing. Overall, the spits are pretty good and of course, you can’t go wrong with the music. The video ends with the owner walking in on Mr. Garth-culti-Vader standing there holding his mop, and admonishing him for doing so, stating “What are you doing? We’ve got a club to open.” Oh well, guess it was all just a daydream, but at least it was a nice one.

MusicDishTV Presents “Big Deal” By Patrick “P.A.T.” Barnett

Monday, June 25th, 2012

Patrick “P.A.T.” Barnett’s “Big Deal” is a well-produced video and song that is clean cut and smooth at the same time. This young rapper delivers the goods in a manner that all can understand and without all of the obscenities that we’ve grown accustomed to in hip hop. “Big Deal” is definitely a big deal. It’s a slowly paced groove that is inspirational with words that have a message with a punch behind them. Barnett spits his rhymes so clearly that even your grandmother could understand them and would be proud. The video itself is filmed in black and white, and is chock full of shots of a young rapper trying to make it - in the studios, in the streets, and wherever he can. Sometimes, inspiration comes from strange places, and Barnett encourages listeners not to give it. He uses a nice jazz and hip hop blend for the mix, adding a nice hook to complete the package. The young southern emcee has also been the recipient of many awards, and his material is increasingly sought after in the underground music scene.
