Rushbilli Gets Back in the Saddle (From the Big Easy to the Big House and Back Again)
Everyone has a past and it’s often those with one's paved with hard times that make the best stories. Especially when those people pull themselves up and are able to breakaway from past mistakes and hardships, and more onward. Rushbilli is one of those people who have seen the worst of times, but isn’t about to let his stint in prison define him for the rest of his life. Instead, it’s pushing him towards his goals and getting him back into the rap game. Hailing from the same streets as Birdman, Rushbilli sees that as a sign that he can not only make it in hip hop - but go on to be a name that sits on the shelf alongside the likes of not only Birdman, but other men who have talent both in front and behind the mic. He’s not only an artist, he’s also got a business mindset that sets him apart from many of his peers; working on his music and his label as he starts to reinvest in his artistry. It’s been awhile since he’s been at it, but before his stint in prison - he did his fair share of touring and went everywhere from Florida to California. Today he’s got some things planned with the SCM Awards, as well as having the world enjoy his single, “I’m That Guy” which features Boosie BadAzz and Kief Brown. Those interested in hearing more from Rushbilli, connecting with him about a project, or finding out more about his label - can check him out online, get in touch with him with the info below or read about his trials and tribulations in his book, Parable of Buried Treasures, Sacrifices, and Masked Beauty, available here.

Leonard C. Williams, a.k.a. Crucial, is many things to many people but one thing he definitely is not is a slacker. He works hard at everything he does, hence, the name for his latest single “On My Grind.”

According to the upbeat rapper, he came up with the song while working, of course. It quickly became his “on-the-job anthem” created especially for hustlers who are all about making that money.
“If I can put a song together that everyone can vibe to and encourages them to make money which is grinding, that’ll be a perfect thing. I want people to get motivated to work hard for a living but have fun doing it,” explained Crucial.
This new single will be featured on Crucial’s upcoming album, “Welcome 2 My Thoughts,” which is scheduled for a fall release. According to this hip hop star in the making, the project will contain 14 head-nodding tracks.
“It’s got a little bit of everything. There is some rap, R&B, spiritual tracks and party music,” he stated. “All the tracks will pretty much motivate you. My three favorite tracks on the album are ‘Own My Grind,’ ‘My Goals’ and ‘Love My Style.’”
Influenced by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Lil’ John and Twista, “Welcome 2 My Thoughts” is Crucial’s first big project; however, the buzz surrounding it has already been growing.
“I’m very excited. I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback from it. It’s going to be awesome when I finally release it,” he stated. “It took me almost two years to put the whole thing together. While it’s taken a lot of hard work and dedication, it’s going to be worth it once the album is released.”

Performing professionally for eight years now, rapper Harold Jamez is gearing up for another exciting year. In the early part of 2016, he dropped a new promo track titled “Extra! Extra!” available for FREE on his website.
“The inspiration for the track was to show the listeners who’s new to my brand and has never heard of me before that I’m a true lyricist,” explained Jamez. “It’s a really good record with a catchy hook.”
According to Jamez, the track samples two unlikely pairings—the legendary Curtis Mayfield and the Super Mario Brothers.
“Music right now is so dumbed down in terms of what’s coming out,” I wanted to do something not only different but lyrical, too.”
His latest single, which is for sale, is a tracked called “Late Night.” It features a talented artist by the name of Wil Guice. It was recently released in 239 countries.
“That track is for the ladies and the guys who are looking for a ‘late night.’ I wrote that record to show my versatility. I can go from being lyrical to providing you with something is both smooth and laid back,” he stated.
Influenced by such artists as OutKast, Tupac and Wu Tang Clan—Jamez says that both released tracks will be featured on his upcoming EP titled “V.O.T.E.” or “Voice Of The Emcee.”
“I’m a new emcee, and what I’m campaigning for is the ears of the listener,” stated Jamez. “I’m just being me. I know that’s probably the blandest answer. However, I’m not the gangsta. I’m not the pimp. I’m not the mack daddy. I’m not the back packer. I’m not the trap god.”
Born in the projects of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and a survivor of the streets, Jamez stated he’s not trying to be like anyone. He’s perfectly happy with just being him.
“I call it ‘my life music,’” stated Jamez. “I’ve dealt with the drug scene, but now I own my own business. I’m working on a book and I’m a public speaker. My style is all about being the best person I can be—and not trying to copy anyone else.”
When people listen to Jamez’s music, he says he hopes they feel the realness in his voice and sincerity in his soul.
“My sound is hip hop influenced with a southern, west coast twist,” stated Jamez. “When people hear my songs, I want them to have a good time. I also hope that my music empowers them. I want them to know that even if they feel like the underdog, they can still thrive and become that person they want to be.”

It all began with a tape recorder. At only nine years old, Robot Jones was handed what would inevitably become his career in the form of a tape recorder. A 3rd grade teacher, spotting Jones’ creative potential, gifted him with the recorder and the artist has been a fountain of expression ever since. His music is a powerful, passionate reprieve amongst the angst and difficulties of growing up in what Jones calls a “troubled place.”
Jones’ creativity manifested itself in a career with the inception of Mona Lisa – a creative co-op full of likeminded musicians, actors, rappers, even athletes all with the same vision of filling the world with inspiration and creation. The group called itself Mona Lisa as a tribute to the world famous portrait of a woman who has brought speculation and interpretation from artists, historians, and scholars around the globe. “Everybody has a different opinion about the significance of the painting. When you look at our group, it’s the same.” Each member of the group comes bearing different talents and qualities, but inevitably, they all wear the same face, like Mona Lisa herself.
Robot Jones’ music is inspired by no one single genre, and he finds himself pulling from every avenue of inspiration, from Lana del Rey to Tupac and Steve Aoki. “These days I listen to a lot of everything; I’m an open book. I even listen to classical music.” Jones’ penchant for diverse music has paid off, lending itself to a new project, inspired by a Bollywood movie. The song, “Black Bollywood,” will make its debut in late summer, 2016.
In December, Jones dropped his most recent single, “Table 50.” At first glance, the song is about a group of people at a restaurant, but upon closer inspection is a metaphor for a deeper life experience. The restaurant, Magnolia Café, represents a difficult, corrupt world, and the indulgences the host offers Jones strip away at his innocence until the bill comes. Only, it’s not money they’re after in the song. In “Table 50,” like in life, you are forced to give away parts of your soul to foot the bill.

When asked about his goals and aspirations for his career, Jones is hopeful, but resolute in his mission to make it about the art, not about fame. “I want to change the world; open some eyes to what life is really about. I’m not in music to get a check, I’m in music to show people they can express themselves anyway they want.”

PARSONS, KANSAS—LaDay Smith is gearing up for this biggest single release yet. His latest track titled “Power” was written to inspire the masses and give hope to those who have none.
“I was listening to Young Thug. It’s based on his song. I loved his beat. I put my own words to it. It’s basically a remix,” stated Smith. “The message of that song is that you can do anything on your own. You don’t need anybody else to step in. Be your own leader.”
Smith says he drew inspiration for his latest single from his own personal struggles. His road to becoming an artist hasn’t been easy; however, he knows that anything worth achieving in life, of course, never is. Knowing this, he continues to reach for the stars.
“In the past, I’ve tried to do music with other people, but it was hard to do because they were doubting me,” explained Smith. “They didn’t think I was good enough, but now since I’m older and wiser, they understand the thing I’ve been going through. Now that I’m older now, I know that I can do anything that I put my mind to.”
Influenced by Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Drake, Trey Songz—Smith’s vocal range is hard to match. No musical note is off limits for this talented singer.
“I have a broad vocal range. I can sing very low, and I can sing very high. When people hear my voice, they’re like, ‘Oh, My Gosh! He sounds like this?’ People are like, ‘Dang, I didn’t know he could do all that,’” stated Smith.
Smith is without a doubt a triple threat and force to be reckoned with. He writes, produces and performs all of his own tunes—and has no plans to ever stop. His beautifully written lyrics are inspired by real life.
“The majority of the music that I’ve written is mostly about the relationships that I’ve been in,” stated Smith. “I talk about why it didn’t work out, why I moved on and what I’m doing with my life now.”
On a path headed toward musical success, Smith plans to be performing all over the world in the next several years and making music people can enjoy and relate to. To learn more about him, visit him on Twitter and Smule.com.
