T BARZ has been making a mark in the Hip-hop world by slowly creating buzz surrounding her freestyle skills. The Alabama-born emcee is a force to be reckoned with. This past summer, T BARZ kicked-off her weekly freestyle series, “Barz on Thursdays”, and every week she kept listeners and hip-hop aficionado’s wanting more. The time has come for the world to get a taste of this lyrical queen.

“This has been something that I’ve wanted the world to hear for years. When I first started working on the album, I knew I wanted the end result to be what it is today. Genesis is me…from beginning to end and I am very proud of the work we have put into this project. A representation of me in music form with a bit of something for everyone to enjoy and relate,” says T Barz. “The unique album cover also symbolizes what this album means to me. The beginning. With this being my debut album, I wanted to come from the bottom and blossom into this beautiful tree filled with life. The graphic artist was able to bring my ideas and vision to life and I could not be happier,” adds Barz.

Standout tracks on “Genesis” includes the title track, “Genesis” where T Barz just simply flows on the track with no hooks, just barz. “The Life” is a vibe song as Barz was inspired by an almost summer day, 70 degrees to be exact, top down while riding on an old-school ride driving through the neighborhood thinking about those goals that you want to accomplish. Then, there is “The Illest”, the in-your-face song where Barz proves why she calls herself the illest lyrically and no one can tell her otherwise. On “Bottles” she touches on a topic that affects many of us in the community. Alcoholism. She lends her experiences on what she has witnessed with others and simply shares a word of encouragement to those that are facing this battle or have faced it in the past. “Won’t Be Long”, is what she calls her “healing song”. It’s the song that lets you know that in due time, things will be just fine, and no matter how long you think it takes, it will be fine.

Atlanta Rapper 550 ( @550Papertrail ) Debuts New Video, “Steppin’ On Hoes/Lights”...

Today, Atlanta trap rapper 550 debuts his brutally honest “Steppin’ On Hoes/Lights” music video. Directed by Do It All DP, this is not your typical street record flaunting their video vixens. Instead, 550 pulls back the veil on the seductresses to expose their trickery and trifling ways  and flips the game on them.

STEPPIN ON HOES / LIGHTS MUSIC VIDEO

550 explains, “Most women will show you fake love and attention for material shit. I learned from experience that women will cross you out for designer shoes and bags. So I decided to put materialistic things over these females. Now I’m iced up, bossed up and cashed out! Running a check on these hoes… Steppin on ‘em.”

@Blumbros: The Evolution of Philly

So much has changed in hip-hop, but when you look at areas like Philly, the evolution has gotten even bigger. Hip-hop newcomers Blumbros have best onto the scene to wild popularity, and their riding a train that shows no sign of slowing down. While easily compared to groups like Rae Sremmurd, this Philly duo have certainly developed their own style and following. We recently caught up with the fellas to talk about their latest single, Everybody”, and their plans for maneuvering through this industry.

U.G. Digital Mag: It’s awesome to connect with you brothers for this feature. First and foremost, we’re grateful to you. I think what you have is awesome for hip-hop. I appreciate what you bring. So much has changed in hip-hop, and no one is having the kind of fun you’re having. You’re bringing that feel back to music. Is that something you’re starting to hear from people?

Blumbros: We’re hearing that a lot. We also get compared a lot to Rae Sremmurd. Other than that, people are amazed at our vibe.

U.G. Digital Mag: It’s good and you really have something. You work well together, and that goes a long way when you’re dealing with so many people. Who were your influences, coming from Philly and there being so many people from there in music?

Blumbros: I say Quavo and Kendrick Lamar inspired me to do music.

U.G. Digital Mag: And that’s how. People see that, but they also see you have your own style.

Blumbros: For me, it’s Meek Mill and PNB Rock. I saw them go from nothing.

U.G. Digital Mag: How did you guys really want to be seen as artists coming into this?

Blumbros: We really wanted to let people know how different we were. We wanted them to see we bring a different vibe. We’re more positive than a lot of things you see.

U.G. Digital Mag: So talk more about the overall scene of Philly. Like, I’ve been into hp-hop for years, and when you think of the people who have come out in the last 10-15 years, nobody has come the way you are. Artists have been more like they have to have that “hard” or tough persona to come out and be respected, and they’re not really high spirited and having fun, especially in Philly. Some artists enjoy ti a lot more than they let on, and they feel like they have to cover up that fun side of it to be respected. You guys aren’t afraid to be who you are. With that in mind, do you see the respect from Philly?

Blumbros: They support us. It’s like 50/50.

U.G. Digital Mag: That’s good. Any support is good, but no one can dispute how different you guys are from everything else in the city.

Blumbros: People used to that battle rap and all that (laughing).

U.G. Digital Mag: I do think it’s dope. I love what you guys have, and it takes me into the single, Everybody. What separates you guys, because what I got from the song is “this is us and this is what we’re offering, we’re doing this and everybody else is doing that”.

Blumbros: What separates us aside from the music is our shows as well. We do choreographed dance and everything. We want people to look at us positively. We make our shows fun to come to.

U.G. Digital Mag: You’re proving that music can be something really big. You hear a lot of negative, and not just with hip-hop. It’s in all music. I think back to being 17, knowing I wanted to work in this, and the thing my mother always warned about was drugs and how a lot of people get turned around on that sort of thing. It’s not just hip-hop. It’s just a lifestyle that has come with entertainment period. You guys have consciously made an effort to separate from that.

Blumbros: We try to be positive. We come from Blumberg projects. People have a different perspective on us, but we try to prove them otherwise. Just because we from the hood don’t mean we got to be ghetto. It’s still positive people out here.

U.G. Digital Mag: Things are really growing for you guys. You’ve had other songs, and I’m actually hooked on “Wanna Be Grown”. I think it’s really hot. What do you see over the next year with your brand?

Blumbros: I think we’ll be doing more touring for sure. We have a mixtape dropping July 22. We’ll have a release party for it when the time comes.

U.G. Digital Mag: That’s awesome. We’d love to see you guys here. Everyone is into what you’re doing.

Blumbros: We appreciate that.

U.G. Digital Mag: Where should everyone be checking you guys out at?

Blumbros: All of our social media is @blumbros, and we’re also on Soundcloud and Youtube.

U.G. Digital Mag: Any final thoughts at all?

Blumbros: Our mixtape is “Something’s Gotta Give”. We feel like we’re kicking our way into the industry. Being broke, and needing help sometimes, it’s like something’s gotta give.

U.G. Digital Mag: People can relate to it, so it’s cool. Young people especially can relate to that. We’re looking forward to it.

@_leovance_ : A UGD Exclusive

It's always such an amazing thing to catch up to budding artists and emerging talent. After all, that's where much of our focus lies when it comes to music and entertainment. We love the idea of introducing new artists to you, and that rings especially true with Leo Vance. Based in Canada, Leo is blazing a strong trail through the industry, and he shows no sign of slowing any time soon. He was recently a part of the Cut Hip Hop Awards in Toronto. Check out our exclusive with below with the man himself.

U.G. Digital Magazine: What feeling do you having been a part of the Cut Awards show?

Leo Vance: I felt amazing about jt. It was a good opportunity to showcase my music and meet the different artists. I think it was just a really good opportunity.

U.G. Digital Magazine: It's huge to be part of something on that level.  So many people were involved, including companies like Def Jam. Talk about your background. I know music has been in the fiber of your family.

Leo Vance: Well, I'll start with my mother. She was a singer. Growing up, I have memories of being in the studio while she was recording. She had a live band as well, I believe. That was a good experience for me. She moved onto the beauty industry after music. My dad has been a producer, rapper, and engineer. I'd be there while he produced and engineered for other artists.

U.G. Digital Magazine: Looking at their accomplishments, how did that inspire your dreams?

Leo Vance: My dreams were a little different. I really wanted to be a basketball player, but it turned out I wasn't happy with it. From there I picked up a keyboard. It made me happy to rap over instrumentals but I wanted to make my own as opposed to rapping over everyone else's.

U.G. Digital Magazine: It's good to see your progression. You've turned this into something really huge, which is remarkable. Talk about everything else you have going on?

Leo Vance: I'll be recording the last song of my album and hope to push that out in the summer. It's really just my album that I'm focused on.

U.G. Digital Magazine: That's great. How much have you put into it? What's to be expected?

Leo Vance: It's a collection of my best songs over the last two years. I've been honing my craft and my album will reflect that.

U.G. Digital Magazine: So we can look for that later this summer. Anything else we should know about?

Leo Vance: I have a mixtape that will come out.

U.G. Digital Magazine: We definitely will stream that for you.

Leo Vance: Yea, for sure. That'll drop late August or early September.

U.G. Digital Magazine: Shout your website and social media for the readers?

Leo Vance: Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are all as follows:

[FEATURE] JG ( @iamjgforreal ) : THE REAL DEAL

​Artists like JG are truly redefining what it is to be a rap artist in today's hip-hop world. We've seen a complete metamorphosis in terms of what artists represent, and not only how they're portrayed, but how they present themselves. For those who have been around long enough to witness hip-hop from the eighties, through the nineties, and right into the new millennium, many will argue that we've watch the slow death of what we once knew. We've seen it start from artists coming with real "message" music to those who weren't saying anything at all. It had become more s stage show than anything, and not many truly respected the essence of the craft. In essence, it was no different than someone working a job simply for a paycheck, which goes against the whole code because the idea is that people are doing what they love. We're now arriving at a place where artists are becoming more attuned with themselves, and using the stories of their lives not only to elevate themselves, but connect their to the rest of the world. More importantly, we're seeing more artists with a genuine love for the art form, and it's reflecting in the product.

We recently ran the debut of JG's "Birds in LA", which feature Rich the Kid. With one watch if the clip, its clear to see he's bringing back the essence of hip-hop that has been missing for a long time. While he's not drilling you with any particular message, it's clear he's having fun, and his heart is in it. It gives you a sense not only of what can be expected from his album, but also the direction hip-hop is heading, and how things are truly

coming back around.

JG sat down to talk with us about the new single, the idea he had behind the track, and how this, as well as the upcoming barrage of singles will strategically lead us into his EP, which we'll likely get later this year.

U.G. Digital Mag: I appreciate you sitting down with us bro. Kudos for all that’s happening your way.

JG: Thank you man. I appreciate that.

U.G. Digital Mag: Start off first by talking about Birds in LA. There’s a lot that I can really appreciate, not just about the song, but also your delivery, overall flow, and I think the style you’re bringing is needed right now. There’s a lot in hip-hop that I struggle with in terms of direction, but you’re taking it in the right direction. With that in mind, talk about the single and your goals for that?

JG: Well I mean, with that record, just getting rich on it was a big thing because I wanted it to get the recognition it deserved. I felt like the verses were hot, and I was just trying to establish myself. Before this, I hadn’t had anything out there, so I was trying to establish myself, get on a record with somebody who may be in a different lane than myself, but also showcase what I’m trying to bring to the table. I feel like the record doesn’t have any real meaning per se, and its definitely not a political message. It’s just a dope record. I was showcasing my lyrical ability.

U.G. Digital Mag: I think people who look at it can see that there's not necessarily a cockiness, but more a level of confidence. Overall, it’s like I’m here, this is me, and this is what you get.

JG: Basically that's it. It’s really something that you speak about the confidence, because for me, it something that comes out more in my music. It’s like I’m two people. On the mic, things I want to say, that side of me comes out more.

U.G. Digital Mag: I think that’s good. How do you feel like taking it back to your own life, this will allow you to show more of that confidence outside of music?

JG: It’s not that I’m not confident. Im just not flamboyant or boastful. I don’t seek that, and my goal isn’t to flex on people. My goal is to make good music and hopefully, people will relate to my music. I don’t think this will really reflect superficially, but I am confident in my abilities. I’m just more reserved.

U.G. Digital Mag: I think a lot of people can appreciate that, and relate. I see where your influence comes from, and obviously you listen to the J. Coles, and those artists who people label as “artists with something to say”. I think people see it, but at the same time, you’re your own artist. Talk about how this single leads into the album?

JG: It’s definitely the lead-off to the album. I really was trying to set things up in terms of what you could expect. It’s a little different to me. The vibes on the album, and this song in particular, it’s more melodic. "My Side" is more upbeat, more wavy and club vib-ish. I try to give something for everybody, but at the same time, deliver a message throughout the project. That’s what I want people to take away from this. I have songs to turn up to, but then I also have songs where you have to sit back, listen, and think. Like you said, J. Cole and other artists are my inspiration, but I also realize there’s a fine line that you have to straddle. People don’t want to just be put to sleep, and unfortunately, we live in a time where the attention span Is not what it once was. It’s changed a little, so I try to cater to that, but also do what I love to do.

U.G. Digital Mag: I think in terms of attention, a lot of people just want more artists who will bend the lines and be different. I think what helps a lot is being independent. There’s so much happening on the independent front, and you have the ability to do so much more of what you want. People see that creativity within you, and can see you’re not being guided in terms of what someone else thinks is hot.

JG: That’s pretty much what it is. I don’t like being labeled, and being put in a box. If I want to make a super melodic record and then come back to make an east coast rap record, I like to exercise my freedom to do just that. That’s more of the artistry I want people to see. With these first 4-5 records, it’s a bit of every aspect of that. I’m hoping people get out of it what I’m trying to put into it.

U.G. Digital Mag: I think they will. Even going back to "Birds in LA", I immediately felt it, and that’s a compliment in the highest form because being honest, I don’t easily get into a lot of music today. It’s not even in a disrespectful way either.

JG: Right. No disrespect, it’s just not your lane.

U.G. Digital Mag: Right. But I played it, and felt it right away. Then my son, who is ten years old by the way, listened and could vibe to it. You can reach people of all age ranges, which is cool. I think people, again, can appreciate that. What happens between now and later this year when it drops?

JG: Right now, we have about 4-5 records lined up. We’re just building the fanbase. It’s been a while since I've released any music. A lot of people have not heard of me, and for those who have, it’s been a while since I put anything out. So it’s connecting with the new fans, and recapturing old ones. There isn't a date set in stone yet.

U.G. Digital Mag: The reality too is that people don’t even need the date because as long as you keep coming the way you are, people will take to it, and regardless of when it drops, people will support because it’s something tangible.

JG: Yea. I have a lot of music ready. My problem is I’m always eager to drop it. I think things are going in the right direction though. I think it’ll be a good year.

U.G. Digital Mag: For people who want to check you out, we have the social media, Instagram, Twitter, Soundcloud, and YouTube accounts. Where else can people check you out?

JG: I have my Facebook page, which gets the most interaction. I know Facebook is not really so big, but I get a lot of interaction there.

U.G. Digital Mag: It actually depends on the artist. Some actually do better with Instagram and Twitter, but those who have more engagement, they do better on Facebook. It just depends.

JG: Yea like me, I’ve neglected Twitter. I barely tweet, and I’m trying to get better, but it just isn’t my thing.

U.G. Digital Mag: Everyone has their thing. I neglect Snapchat. Some people are religious to Snapchat.

JG: Right. Also I have a few records on Spotify, and Pandora. I have one on Apple  music, and we're working on getting the rest up there. The music coming now will hit all of those outlets. Other than that, that’s about it. Worldstar obviously also. I think that’s about it.

U.G. Digital Mag: What about your personal site?

JG: It's www.iamjgforreal.com

U.G. Digital Mag: Any final comments at all?

JG: Not really. I feel like we touched on some good stuff. Really, I’m not even going down that route [laughing].

U.G. Digital Mag: I just want to say I really appreciate you. Your artistry makes me want to do what I do. I relate to your comments about being in a box, and that goes for any industry. In terms of journalism or black media, if I write for others, which I have, and do here and there, it’s easy to get put in a box in terms of what you can and cannot cover, and the way you go about it. Having my own allows me to talk about what the artists really want to talk about. I appreciate being able to connect, and I thoroughly appreciate your music.

JG: It’s a blessing to have this conversation. Everything happens so fast, and it’s been a long time. We just launched the campaign, and it’s happening so fast. The main thing is I don’t want to be in a box. If somebody is not feeling this record, just wait a minute, and you’ll feel the next one. I touch on certain areas just to show I can do this, and I also can do that. It’s not to say I don’t have a style; I just do what the fuck I want to do musically.

[NEWS] @iamjgforreal & @richthekid PREMIERE "BIRDS IN LA"...

Tampa based artist JG premieres his brand new music video “Birds In LA” featuring Atlanta rapper Rich The Kid.  Produced by No Gen, JG doesn’t just rap about getting at girls on the percolating “Birds in LA,” but the newcomer also throws down his gauntlet to declare his residence in the hip-hop community. Directed by Miles Cable the music video set in the reflective overlook of the ominous Los Angeles skyline. The single is a first look into JG’s upcoming debut EP, 3 Feet From Gold, due out later this year on independent Field of Dreams Entertainment.

JG explains, “I want to get across that I’m in this bitch now.  I’m here to stay.  For this song, I’m constantly inspired by everything.  Grimey bitches. Instagram hoes. Fake ass rappers. Fuck boys.  Haters.  My Past.  My future. My son. My family. All that is motivation to me. I just want people to feel something when they hear the record.  Whether they hear it and get pissed off or hear it and get hyped up, it doesn’t matter to me… as long as it elicits some type of emotion for them.”

“Rich was really cool,” JG says about collaborating with the rapper known for his popular mixtapes.  JG connected with Rich the Kid and Caskey through his engineer.  “He came to the studio, laid the shit down and killed it for the visual as well.”
