Instead of trying to "keep up with the Jones’s" or to follow trends in the mainstream market, Gary is blazing his own trail. "Music and the arts are my life," Gary said, "so in paying respect to the late, great James Brown, I am positioning myself to become "THE NEW HARDEST WORKING MAN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY". It only takes one listen to this dynamic track for you to realize that Gary is not only a phenomenal vocalist, but a multi instrumentalist (something that was not showcased by his previous works as the lead singer for SILK) and a seasoned writer and producer as well; and one who has decided to stay true to his art form while understanding that he is going up against other artists who are relying on gimmicks as opposed to pure talent to promote record sales. "Get ready" Gary continues "because THIS NEW DUDE YOU MESSIN' WIT' is taking you on a trip to a very exciting place and giving you a natural HIGH!" I’m already on board. Are you?

Local Texas Artist Deborah Wedekind Enjoys Top Honors on Singer Universe

Local recording artist and performer, Deborah Wedekind, who lives in the North Houston area, is currently featured with a photo, on the Singer Universe website's home page at: www.singeruniverse.com, as a National Top 5 Vocalist Finalist for January 2012! Her original song, "Psalm on Danny Boy", placed her in the Top 5 due to Deborah's beautiful vocals, haunting lyrics and unique arrangement. She also won a Top 5 spot nationally with Singer Universe in their December 2011 Best Vocalist contest, for her unique arrangement of "I Dreamed a Dream", recently made popular by British singer Susan Boyle. In Deborah's more Adult Contemporary version, she creates a stunningly beautiful counter melody in the orchestral strings which depict the longing and suffering of the lead character, Fantine, while creating a lighter vocal line that flows "…with much more of a Pop feel" than prior versions. Deborah recorded her CD, Clear Skies Ahead, which released in November 2011, with Producer, Troy Warren, Jr., at Absolute Sound studios in Houston. Troy ranks Deborah's CD as his top project in over 30 years of working in sound production. Since its release, here is what This is Kingwood has to say about Deborah: "...Deborah could and probably should be lumped in more with classic artists like Astrud Gilberto (Girl from Impanema), Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney and Lena Horne. She's that good. Her silky smooth voice stays somehow young and fresh while exhibiting a classically trained experience one can only gain from being, well, that good. If you get a chance to check out one of her local performances, do yourself a favor and make the effort, you'll be glad you did." Additionally, Deborah's original sexy-Latin arrangement of the classic, "Till There Was You", is currently in the Broadjam.com Top 10 Latin songs chart worldwide, and on Feb. 19th, 2012, it reached #2 on the Top 10 Latin Jazz world chart. Her "Psalm on Danny Boy" also remains on Broadjam's Top 10 World Chart, and has been since January 2012. (Broadjam is a site for aspiring singers and songwriters music industry professionals and fans from around the world, and has many thousands of members.) Deborah is also excited to have been recently asked to be the lead female singer for the Billie Ledbetter Band and Orchestra, Houston's #1 Dance Band.

Incarcerated Rapper Big Tray Deee Pens New Fiction From the Pen - "Streetz Gon' Cry"

San Francisco - Many remember Tracey "Big Tray Deee" Davis as part of the legendary west coast rap group, Tha Eastsidaz, which featured him alongside Snoop Dogg and Lil Goldie Loc. The group gained platinum success with their debut album, "Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz." With his rap career cut short in 2003 by a 12 year prison bid however, many have long counted the former lyricist out of the game. But talent and perseverance are qualities a prison cell cannot easily contain, as proven with LeNoir Publications' debut release of "Streetz Gon' Cry," a gritty urban tale co-authored by none other than Big Tray Deee alongside another incarcerated gangster turned author, Anthony Barrow. "Streetz Gon' Cry" literally blends another component into West coast gangsta' rap, detailing the real life scenario behind the lyrics. Blazing in the trails of urban literary giants like Chester Hines, Iceberg Slim and Donald Goines, Tray Deee and Barrow present a street saga laced with drugs, murder, gang warfare and a cast of nefarious characters. With South Central Los Angeles as the backdrop, the authors convincingly elaborate with first-hand experience about what they know. "Streetz Gon' Cry" is a fictional account of the King Crips and the Vernon Boys, who have an on-and-off rivalry. Both sets have their vision locked on controlling the cocaine trade in the Crenshaw District. Protagonist, Carter, a notorious, ride-or-die hustler from the Vernon Boys, is fresh out of the state penitentiary and on a mission to reclaim the streets. During his absence, acts of betrayal have placed his hood on the brink of implosion. With his mentor, Wolf, directing traffic from behind the walls of a federal prison, Carter plots his ultimate takeover to assume authority of the street's illicit cash flow. Plot twists and turns pump and jump like the hydraulics on '64 Chevy cruisin' Crenshaw Boulevard. It's a ride that will make you buckle up and hold on. Growing up on the gang active east side of Long Beach, CA, Tray Deee started gang banging and breaking the law at a very young age, spending his late teens and early 20's in some of California's most violent high-level penitentiaries. Tray Deee started writing rhymes as a hobby in 1988, entertaining his homeboys with tales of gang banging and crime as they sat locked away in the penitentiary. His extensive vocabulary and clever wordplay made his songs stand out, and the encouraging response caused him to continue writing lyrics. That gift propelled him to fame as he contributed to major motion picture soundtracks, including "Gang Related," "Gridlocked," "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate," "Baby Boy," and "Rush Hour II." As an act, his group Tha Easidaz opened for the highest grossing rap tour in history, "The Up in Smoke" tour. Cites Big Tray Deee, "My rap skills are just the icing on the cake. As an author now, I can give my fans and readers an even clearer understanding of the underworld activities of the Wild West with much more intrigue and detail." Anthony Barrow became enamored with gang-banging and hustling early on, pledging allegiance to the Crip gang that controlled his neighborhood. His father was close friends with legendary Los Angles hustler Tracy Morrow aka "Ice-T." Anthony saw up close how crime "pays." His first hand exposure to several other street bosses fueled his thirst for cash and the finer things in life. During his teenage years he became part of a circle that executed daring bank robberies. His eventual capture lead to a lengthy prison sentence. Currently behind bars, Barrow was inspired to share his worldview about street life. "I am a fan of street lit," expresses Barrow, "but I have yet to come across a book that fully exploits what goes on in these mean L.A. streets. I lived it so I figured who better to tell the real deal." An introduction by JD of Ice Cube's legendary rap group "Da Lench Mob" brought Barrow and Tray Deee together and "Streetz Gon' Cry" was born. A highly charged, unapologetic tale fueled by two street savvy brains, "Streetz Gon' Cry" explodes with conflict, danger and suspense. Get your take on the action now at www.LeNoirPublications.com !
