ARTIST4HYER WILL BE BACK!

Artist4Hyer and the blog team took a brief hiatus, just to make sure things will stay relevant. Currently I'm in the middle of finding recording equipment to make this blogging/thing a little more interesting. I do apologize to each and everyone who has been grinding and working tirelessly and need an outlet to put their music out. I have all the submissions and will post them as soon as possible. For all those who are fans and still check on the blog religiously, I do apologize to you as well, we will be back soon!

Levi Lennon- Lawdamercy (Spoken Video)

If I had to guess, just to assume, this next track is a written interlude on his next project, The Couch Tour, which drops December 26th. Through his raspy voice is a message. The two minute something video does have a small concept, which should be easily understood. Like he told me in text, this isn't a regular video. The best of Levi, its only safe to expect the unexpected when dealing with Levi. Fair?

             

Jaw Jam Signs With Surefire Agency

My favorite alternative selection of music happens to be the music Jaw Jam makes. Not because we're from the same town, not because we went to high school together and I witnessed his beat making process, or even the fact we both share the same sentiment about AZ being the most underrated rapper of ALL TIME; but more so because, Jaw Jam, has a unique quality of infusing some of the best R&B and Hip-Hop tracks ever into these synth tunes. Whether adding instruments, sound effects or chopping and screwing the song and adding to a club rhythm, Jaw Jam has made his imprint known, and some very important people have took a liken to such. Today it was announced that Jaw Jam has joined the Surefire Agency team, which will now control his management to help further his career. With offices both here in the United States and offices in several different countries, Surefire has partnered with many different companies to provide the best events and the best venues known. Congrats to Jam Jam. Wish you many more successes.
