MARIE ELIZABETH

                 
                                            MARIE ELIZABETH


Marie Elizabeth Walker, 21 this July. Educated, strong leo heart and soul. Always progressing. Ive been singing since the age of 2 & I started rapping about a year and a half, two years ago. I don't consider myself to be a rapper nor singer; more of an Artist or MC because I do it for the passion; not payment... I hate for people to categorize me or my music; because I view myself to be a "visionary". Majority of my songs are acapella (no music). I do a lot of my music this way because it seems so much more genuine to me. I also make very short songs, almost interludes because I love knowing that when that 1min 30sec song is over, my listeners want more.  I do all my own recording mixing and everything myself because other people don't quit understand my visions, they only understand the end result. Plus I feel as thought you get all of me; not mastered and processed me... Every original song Ive written has been by myself & are all about people; probably ones you know lol. Rawk & D were the ones who got me into the whole idea of "rapping" because I never intended on being one. With that being said, I grew up listening to 50's and 60's music with my grandparents and 90's greats & Gospel favorites with my Mother. I have a very musical  family to whom I am the only child of. Both my parents sing & got me in the church pretty early. Thank God! But honestly my artistry is all i know. I try and leave a small piece of my soul in everything I do so listeners can say "I feel her." My style is just that,  Mine! My dress is me. My influences include MJ, Prince, Commissioned, The Clark Sister, Aaliyah, Donny Hathaway, Queen Latifah, Lauren Hill, Anita Baker, Evelyn Champagne King, Ryan Leslie, The 4tops, Mc Lyte, Tupac, Nas, Common (when he was Common Sense) Biggie, Lalah Hathaway, Phil Collins, The Doors & more. I'm a lover of all music. Im also a helper, over-thinker, & philanthropist.  I'm currently working on my mixtape entitled "myxtvpe" which I plan on releasing in the upcoming weeks to come. With no singing lessons, a lyrical mind, & God given talent; I plan on showing our generation what GOOD music really is!  






WHEN DID YOU REALIZE MUSIC IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO AS A CAREER?

Marie: I've never really looked at as music as a possible career, I've always been more of a realist. I've always had a plan b & c because there is alot of amazing talent that goes unrecognized in this world. So if music takes me somewhere then that's great but I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket; if it's not in Gods will for me to be famous for singing, I've already prepared for other things, because I am going to be successful no matter what I end up doing. 


WHO WOULD  BE YOUR DREAM TOUR COLLABORATION?

Marie: Any! lol But seriously, Id have to say id do a kinda "New Old Skool Tour" consisting of Frank Ocean, J Cole, Janelle Monae,  Pro Era, Drizzy Wright & Myself. 


WHAT HIGHLIGHT MOMENT HAVE YOU HAD SINCE YOU'VE BEEN SINGING?

Marie: Every moment I get to share my music or my talent is a highlight to me. I thank the Lord for every moment I get to showcase what hes blessed me with. Each one a blessings. 

WHAT REACTION DO YOU GET FROM FANS WHEN SHOWCASING THE NEW STUFF?

Marie: it's always nothing but love! ill post a new track on soundcloud, put the link on twitter and Facebook then I get off the Internet for the rest of the day. I try not to wait around for feedback. But once I do check back, it's always positive! 

AS AN ENTERTAINER ARE YOU PRESSURED BY THE EXPECTATION'S OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?

Marie: naturally there is some pressure but I feel that is more from my end then anyone else's...ill always be my worst critic.  But there are standards that need to be met. I'm pressured by my morals n goals to exceed said standards, because nobody controls my talent nor capabilities but me & God.  

WHAT IS A STUDIO SESSION WITH MARIE ELIZABETH LIKE?

Marie: 99% of the time im by myself while recording but it's a very light hearted atmosphere. ofcourse I'm focused but nothing to serious... I feel like that kills the fun of the music making process. to serious; you over think..then you over do!  

IF YOU COULD SAY SOMETHING TO UPCOMING FEMALE ARTIST LIKE YOURSELF WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Marie: Get to know who and what God made you to be. Once you get to know her; fall inlove with her! Because if you come into this business not knowing who you are; they'll never allow you to find out...!

ANY FINAL WORDS,SHOUT OUTS?

Marie: to the Genius who gave me; Jesus Christ & The people that raised me, Thankyou. ilove y'all. n to everyone else; Dream Big & Live Bigger!

WELL WE WOULD LIKE TOO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME HERE AT TYF AND MAY YOUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD BE ADMIRED AND RESPECTED RATHER ITS MUSIC OR WHATEVER ELSE GOD HAS PLANNED FOR YOU...

Marie: thank you so much for the opportunity! stay humble, stay blessed! xO

HIP-HOP SPOTLIGHT

                                                                   THE WAVE 


The Wave - a strong current or force that is repetitive; a transfer of energy that does not stop, any surging or progressing movement.
a swell, surge or rush, as of feeling or of a certain condition.
What started out as two individuals, two different worlds, somehow became "The Wave", a rap duo hailing from Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Wave is a new, fresh, group who are creating new sounds and creativity to the music world we know. The Wave consist of members Hozay Wavy and WavinLane, determined to get their message out through their new EP "Seven Days". The two have been working non stop to give listeners something worth paying attention to. Creating their own sound and driven to leave a mark, they are the ones to watch out for.
William Moore aka Hozay Wavy was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina relocating to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when he was thirteen years old with his mother and younger brother. He began rapping at the age of sixteen, recording songs on cassettes as a hobby. Hozay Wavy started to experiment with his peers, trying to get different opinions, and ideas to keep his music in quote “FRESH”. He decided to pursue a music career at nineteen when he heard one of his tracks in a local club, and had no prior knowledge of the record being played. “It was a surreal experience to hear one of my songs being played without me knowing. People were really feeling my music”. Hozay Wavy laughs. The other half of The Wave, Derrick Lane aka WavinLane was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a native of the Hill District, where he began making beats at the age sixteen. In WavinLane's high school years, he developed his talent as a producer making beats in class, and selling them to local artists, from that point on he decided to pursue a career in music and take it more serious. “We make organic music, I consider myself as a Hip-Hop visionary.” WavinLane says.
The two met while working with a local dj in 2011, who was trying to make a independent label. WavinLane was introduced to Hozay Wavy as an in house producer. They immediately had chemistry; they worked on a variety of songs, expressing to each other aspirations of becoming Hip-Hop artist in the music industry. While working with the Dj, WavinLane augmented his lyrics along with his production, while Hozay focused on the engineering aspect of their music. The two at the label didn't last very long. “We felt like we couldn't have any artistic freedom. It was like what the Dj says goes, because it was his stu.” hozay said. Hozay and WavinLane decided to part ways with the label and make their own group called "The Wave". As a group, it made The two more unified and driven to get their music out. This change made them more self-reliant. Hard work plus determination can only lead to success. The Wave knew it was up from there.

The Wave have been currently working on their first release, an EP titled, "Seven Days" due for release Spring 2013. "Seven days gives you different reflections on life, emotions, We as people go through everyday, seven days a week. We wanted to relate to our crowd, give them something slightly different than whats being played now. We want to reach everyone with this album so it's pretty much something on it for everyone." The Wave says. "Seven Days" delivers catchy hooks, unforgettable production, and well written verses that will have listeners wanting more. The Wave are in the process of booking shows in different states, opening for related acts, and expanding their fan base. "We're ready" the group said. "We have been waiting for our time and we know our time is now".
The first single off the anticipated EP is "Feelin Famous". Hozay explains the song is about receiving love from fans, and all the great feedback the group has gotten so far from the release of other works, he said "we created a movement and i'm like i'm starting to feel famous." and that's how the song came about. The video for "Feelin Famous" will also premiere following the release.




SO WHAT OR WHO INSPIRED YOU TO PURSUE A MUSIC CAREER?

THE WAVE: 
Hip Hop culture has really been the main influence, The lifestyle of going to the studio and coming up with incredible music and be apart a rich culture with so much history that will be forever remembered. 



WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR PITTSBURGH ARTIST TO REALIZE COMING TOGETHER RATHER THEN FEUDING WILL TAKE US TO THE NEXT LEVEL KIND OF LIKE ATLANTA?

THE WAVE:
It would take originality musically and as a social entity, To be the next Wiz or Mac is like a barrier for the personality of the artists on our city... if more collabs (artists and production wise) occur it would open up Pittsburgh economically for artists.



WHO WOULD BE YOUR DREAM TOUR COLLABORATION?

THE WAVE:
 We wouldve really liked to do a song with Aaliyah. Her voice so heavenly it would been a perfect fit for The Wave and where we are at musically today.



BEING AN ENTERTAINER ARE YOU INTIMIDATED BY THE EXPECTATION'S FROM LABEL'S AND FANS? 

THE WAVE:
No, that's the best thing about it. Seeing a bar set for you by someone else is really the motivation for you to excel at any career field not just entertainment. The only thing that should be intimidating is expectations set by ones self but even in that since intimidation shouldnt be a factor when your dealing with a dream.  


WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR MUSIC IN 5 YEAR'S ? 

THE WAVE:
 We would like to see music being our door into the world. Becoming a music icon is at the top of the list but to be socially iconic is the long term goal. Because at the end of the day The Wave is more than music. We wish to be a premier face for the culture. 


  WHAT WOULD YOU TELL UPCOMING ARTIST TRYING TO PURSUE A MUSIC CAREER ALSO?

THE WAVE:
 Utilize your ability to express yourself. Music need more personality. Personality through music creates longevity. Longevity is key. It equals success.



 ANY SHOUTOUTS OR SPECIAL THANK'S?

 THE WAVE: 
 S/O to you we really appreciate the opportunity to let people know who we are. Our manager Ericka at Twenty7Fourteen Entertainment, CameraLoop, Jordan Beckham and the Antuks Movement, MGeezy Productionz, Infamouz Instrumentalz, our family and everybody on that Wave we appreciate the love.


 WELL WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND WE WILL BE SUPPORTING THE WAVE!!!!

HIP-HOP SPOTLIGHT

                                                           YOUNG ROYAL





Young Royal has been evolving his gift of rapping ever since he started around the age of four. Born Lewis Craig McDonald Jr. in the Hill District of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Young Royal's main inspiration came from his father. His Father was a talented local MC in Pittsburgh and passed over his gift to Young Royal. He also became influenced by rappers Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G, KRS-One, Kanye West, J.Cole, Wale and a long list of other talented Musicians. When Royal was four years old, his father recorded him on a tape recorder saying words and putting them together in a poetic form, after that he knew his son was destined to be a great MC. As time went on Young Royal quickly developed his skills. He wrote his first official rap when he was seven years old and started rapping it for his peers in elementary school. Once Royal set in his mind that rap was what he wanted to do, he quickly began taking it seriously. He wrote his first real song when he was eight and named it "Hot Ride". Later on, he and his cousin Cocaine Keeton formed a group. As time went on, they added two more additions to the group, Grimey and Keisha. The group name became Dream Squad and they began recording songs together on a computer with a microphone. As they got older, the group went their separate ways but remained in close contact with each other. Cocaine Keeton and Grimey decided to focus more on producing while Royal remained focused on rapping. Once Royal hit high school, he was already a very fierce MC but he realized he had a lot of competition. He began battling other MC's to show he was the best. To this day, his record remains flawless. Time passed and Royal realized he had to start developing a fan base by recording songs. His dad purchased him studio equipment and Royal took full advantage. He began recording songs and spreading them to his friends. Once people saw how talented he was, his fan base grew. Now at 21 years old, Royal is very grateful for the support he receives. “As an Hip-hop artist it's hard to make it big in Pittsburgh but thanks to great influences such as Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller, I am hoping to secure my spot on the throne as one of the Hottest Young MC's to ever bless the microphone.
FIRST QUESTION, WHO OR WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO PURSUE A MUSIC CAREER?
Young Royal: my main inspiration came from my father, at a young age he introduced me to hip-hop and helped me understand the culture. He would always play, KRS-One, Rakim, Ice-Cube...just to name a few! When I was four years old he recorded me on a tape player saying words on a microphone, of course i wasn't rhyming or anything but just the fact I was on the mic at such a young age made it clear that this is what I should be doing! I picked up the violin in 3rd grade and played all the way through high-school, so it's not just Hip-Hop I've been around MUSIC my whole life! 







 FIRST QUESTION, WHO OR WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO PURSUE A MUSIC CAREER?


YOUNG ROYAL:  
my main inspiration came from my father, at a young age he introduced me to hip-hop and helped me understand the culture.  He would always play, KRS-One, Rakim, Ice-Cube...just to name a few!  When I was four years old he recorded me on a tape player saying words on a microphone, of course i wasn't rhyming or anything but just the fact I was on the mic at such a young age made it clear that this is what I should be doing!  I picked up the violin in 3rd grade and played all the way through high-school, so it's not just Hip-Hop I've been around MUSIC my whole life!



IN ONE WORD DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF RAP, THEN TELL US WHY  IT FITS YOU?


YOUNG ROYAL:
I honestly don't have a certain style when it comes to my music, i don't like to categorize myself as a "rapper".  I honestly don't even like calling myself a rapper.  I consider myself an Artist!  I feel like when you call yourself a "rapper" your limiting yourself to a certain group or type of people, whereas an Artist can touch anybody and everybody! But, if I had to put a certain stamp on it, I would label my music as REAL because everything I do comes from my heart and when its from your heart its REAL!



HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE A SESSION WITH YOUNG ROYAL RATHER JAMMING OUT ON STAGE OR IN THE STUDIO?

YOUNG ROYAL:
 a session with me can vary depending on the mood or how i feel.  Sometimes it can be like the movie "The Hangover" because it's like i'm putting all the pieces together as i go!  lol BUT usually i always go into the studio ready to work!  I like to keep positive people and vibes around me, a lot of love, a lot of energy, leave the door cracked so God can creep through and I go to work! Everytime i got into the booth I like to do at least 3-4 songs a session...I GRIND! lol...as far as performing goes, the stage is my home, that's where i'm most comfortable I been performing since I was like 7!  I was involved in theater in elementary school so i'm no stranger to the lights, the stage, the crowd, the feeling...I love to give the people a show! something they can remember forever. something amazing.



IN THE FUTURE WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK ON HIP HOP AND YOUR IN THE MIX, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO SAY?

YOUNG ROYAL: 
 "He changed my life", "He inspired me", "He changed the world"...these are just a select few of things I would want people to say about me when its all said and done.  I make my music for the people! its totally selfless!   My goal with my music is to change the world!  Tupac Shakur is my all-time favorite artist, he said "I'm not saying i'm gonna rule the world, or i'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee I will spark the brain that will change the world!"...I believe that me and the people around me are meant to be that brain that can change the world!  I wanna touch people's lives and have an impact on the world.  I always said I could do a show in front of 10,000 people, 9,999 of those people could walk away with nothing...but if i'm able to get 1 person to walk away with something i'll be happy!  The spoken word is the power of the universe so us as artist need to use that power to make a positive difference and change the world for the better!



  LAST QUESTION, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO TELL ARTIST WHO ARE REACHING FOR A SPOT IN THE MUSIC WORLD?


YOUNG ROYAL:
 Stay hungry, stay humble, always remember you have the power to change the world, change it for the better!



WELL I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS A PLEASURE AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME...


 YOUNG ROYAL:
No thank you guys for having me! I appreciate it!!!

HIP-HOP SPOTLIGHT

                                                                   CAESAR



Name: Tyreq Black. 
Raised: in Homewood, the inner city of Pittsburgh. 
Age: 18   
Musical Influences: Drake, J Cole, Wale, Meek Mill, Lil Wayne Jay Z, Kanye West
Favorite Genre (s): Hip Hop, Old School, RnB
Occupation: Full Time student at Slippery Rock University

















WHEN DID YOU REALIZE MUSIC WAS YOUR CALLING?

Caesar: I was about 7 years old, living in homewood. This kid, everyone called him Lil D. He taught me how to rap. Even til this day i can remember most of the lyrics he taught me to recite in front of his friends. I felt on top of the world when they applauded, ooe'd, and awe'd. Later that year, I found out Lil D was murdered in Homewood. so I kind of promised myself to keep spitting in memory of him. Now I just incorporate life lessons, emotions, family, and friends into my lyrics.

Caesar: As an artist, I feel like I am King. Thats why my MC name is Caesar. I want to be King For Life. I strive to be recognized as the best. I have love for my city, so when I make it out I intend to put other artists on that I feel deserve recognition. I was raised from nothing. Quite frankly, I still have nothing. However, I plan to change that dramatically.


WHAT ABOUT YOU STANDS OUT FROM OTHER PITTSBURGH ARTIST?

Caesar: I have a wider ranged vocabulary. I am more of a creative and inspirational thinker. With that being said, I can spit something that most rappers will never think about. Because it comes from my heart, mind, and soul..

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME?

Caesar:My favorite album of all time. Sheesh thats a hard one. However, i like My beautiful dark twisted fantasy by Kanye. He really broadened the expectations of artists today because of his great production and videography abilities.

TODAY'S MUSIC IS ABOUT COLLABORATION WHAT "HOT" RAPPER OUT NOW, YOU WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH ON A PROJECT?

Caesar: If we are referring to industry rappers, definitely Drake. He kills everything he gets on. Also i wouldnt mind learning a few things from a vet . If we're talking about locals: Shad Black. He's nice.
I like his flow .

ANY SHOUT OUT'S? 

Caesar: Shout out to God, my friends and family, and Pittsburgh for teaching me all those well needed lessons ..

WELL I HAVE TO SAY THANKS FOR YOUR TIME...

Caesar: No problem.
