I’m not a big fan of The Weekend’s “Earned It,” but I can say that Houston’s own Shun Ward is definitely giving him a run for his money. Shun’s voice has so much soul laced in it; it’s the type of sound that money can’t buy. Ward’s tone has the ability to take the most […]

I looooooove when Kat St. John shows us that she has a real voice! “Only One” proves that she’s more than a fun, club or pop-like artist. Kat can rock with a lot of mainstream singers that get radio play nowadays. And if it’s any consolation, KSJ has the electric personality and natural beauty to go […]

Yung Martez is one of those dudes who can make music with substance and club jams that rock too. His “Struggle 2 Success” mixtape was one that I listened to the entire way through (without skipping any songs). I’m excited to see how he puts on for Houston, cause there’s no doubt in my mind […]

Just Brittany always brings it when it comes to her artistry, performances, interviews and music videos. I love that whenever I run into her, she leaves me and the rest of the crowd wanting more. Watch her captivating new video below called “A Drug Called Love” Follow @TheAmirDiamond & @979TheBox on Twitter & Instagram Listen […]

I think I found my Wednesday woman crush: the Beaumont beauty Courtney Shilo. I was scrolling down my instagram feed and randomly came across a snippet of “Placement” on SwaggaCity’s page. I was surprised to find out that she was from our parts of town. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the […]

I can appreciate when artists like Houston’s own Stoppa put effort into their product. Stoppa’s new video “WTF” had me wondering what was going to happen next. The cinematography was on POINT and it was filled with a couple comedic moments that had me thinking “that’s really how life be happening.” SMH I enjoyed hearing […]

The streets of Houston, Texas have been patiently waiting for Stunna Bam’s “Perfect Timing 2” and we finally got an ear-full of what we can expect this May 2015. This time last year, I didn’t know much about Stunna Bam; the only thing I knew is that he had a hot song called “Buy What […]

Stunna Bam’s “Perfect Timing” mixtape is a project that you absolutely HAVE to listen to before you die. Every single song is dope and I like how each song faded into the next. When I originally heard “Buy What I Want” on the radio, it was no doubt one of my favorites…but I thought it […]

I admit…when I first saw the title “Can’t Trust Thots” by Wash, I scrolled right past it because I’m not that big of a fan of stupid, trendy words. Originally, I felt like the term for That H** Over There was going to just come and go; that was until I heard Wash’s new catchy azz […]

I can’t believe Houston’s own Sharve is only 16 years old! This girl has a gift that’s going to take her far. Listen to her new song “Love Easy” here:

I had a chance to hear Michele Thibeaux live at this event last year for Folklore Films.  She also provided the beautiful soundtrack to my Visual Poem.  Michele has such an amazing voice, an outstanding personality, and a true passion for music! Here’s a little more about Michele Thibeaux… Powerful, passionate, and feminine; these three words encompass the […]

It amazes me how Lil’O is able to push out hit after hit after hit. It’s been almost 20 years since he released his first single “Can’t Stop (feat. Destiny’s Child)” and he’s gone on to make history ever since then. Young artists: take note. Study the moves Lil’O makes when it comes to the […]
