MusicDish Review: BIMB Family Debut Single "Steppin' On My Coat"

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=180431

The timeless Bob Marley song "Exodus" was an anthem of self-empowerment; nothing can get in your way to accomplish what you want. However more often than not, it's hard to see how the decision we make affect our lives and what we will become; and sometimes for the worst. But there is always hope, a shimmer of light that can lead you to a better path for yourself.

With such a powerful message, it's only appropriate that the new musical act BIMB Family release their positive, debut single "Steppin' On My Coat". Their unique blend of reggae and hip-hop which they coined "Dub 2.0" is a perfect sonic mixture of reggae bass lines and hip-hop energy. Their new single represents the trials and tribulations of the group and how through self-improvement, they are now on a better path.

"Steppin' On My Coat" starts off with heavy subs that instantaneously bang. Coupled with reggae's staple "bubble" piano rhythm, the track begins with a force to be reckoned with as BIMB Family's rappers spit their own version of self-actualization. From wishing they worked harder, to making better decision, what resounds the most in their record is their hook "Only I Can Stop Me, I'm My Worst Enemy".

Their positive messages offer a much-needed message for not letting circumstances or self pity take over you, but rather assume responsibility and be the change you want to be. Each rapper has a distinct delivery, from blazing fast rhymes to more grimy and rough-around-the edges of flow. Each unique take on the song adds a personalized touch to the listener, as they can relate to all facets of the song.

This is definitely a solid debut single from the Brooklyn based music group. What sets them apart is creating a whole new lane with their very own sub-genre of "Dub 2.0". With innovative sound and incredibly artful lyrics, BIMB Family is sure to be the talk of the town within the music community and has the potential to branch out into a real big movement.

Kaya - Rat Race

Kaya - Rat Race

by Jon Peritz

"The new music video for Rat Race, from the UK based soul/hip-hop outfit Kaya is an in your face no nonsense dance party with a message. Shot in a single small room blanketed in old posters and graffiti, the video shows the band in their natural element. Rappers Aina and Natty rhyme about the inequities of the tax structure and the importance of working for the love and not for the money. This song has a sticky hook tied together with catchy horn lines and a number of clever verses that the band performs as they act out their words. Aina sings about working a 10-6 job as she sits, clearly frustrated, behind a desk crowded with papers and a fax machine. She vows there to turn over a new leaf. Kaya released the video for Rat Race to warm us up for their new record due to drop in August 2010."

Tax Reeaaally Doesn't Need To Be Taxing!

Kaya's new music video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Clwvw_EUo

Live Urban Pop specialists Kaya have uploaded their new music video for forthcoming single Rat Race with an amazing initial response..

The video has a comical feel with a unique approach, shot by young Japanese director Taichi Kimura entirely in 1 day and in 1 small room; the infamous backstage area of the Tunbridge Well's Forum. Its a fine example that a video doesn't need a big budget to be entertaining; the ideas are creative, the vibe is fun and upbeat, an all-round suitable accompaniment for the song itself.

Taken from the groups forthcoming album 'Look Beneath The Surface' due out mid-summer, Rat Race is an up-tempo Ska Pop song slightly reminiscent of early Madness but with a modern urban slant. Lyrically it takes a satirical look at the financial responsibilities we all face in modern day life; cheekily poking fun at a frustrating subject to which most of us can relate, and aiming to bring a smile to the face of those who hear it.. It certainly coins a new meaning to the phrase Tax Doesn't Need To Be Taxing, very true when spoken about in this context!

The 5-piece live group consist of Guitarist Matt, Bassist Tom Y, Drummer Tom H, songstress Aina and rapper Natty, an Ambassador Of The Prince's Trust. Most of them had already worked together in a previous band which was voted BBC Radio 1's Unsigned Band Of The Year. They know each other well, and it shows..

Together they blend infectious instrumental hooks, catchy vocal melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. The band fuse and perform a mix of genres including Hip Hop, Soul, Ska, Dubstep, Jazz and Reggae resulting in a new live Urban Pop sound that is gaining popularity.

Kaya have remained quietly focused on developing their sound and are now putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due for release in summer this year. Though despite their under-the-radar status they have been booked for performances all over Europe and shared the stage with chart-topping acts such as Sugababes and Ne-Yo. Kaya's live exploits have seen them perform at the Sony Radio Academy Awards, a BBC 1Xtra University tour and international events such as Berlin Fashion Week on multiple occasions.

With Rat Race due out in June this year and with such a strong buzz building around the group already, the early signs are indicating that Kaya and their unique sound are most definitely ones to watch for 2010.

New Kid On The Block Unites Hip-Hop & Rock With A Fresh Twist

Brooklyn, NY, November 17, 2009 - Brooklyn recording sensation LaKid Wise is setting a new standard for the musical genre we call "Hip-Rock", the fusion of rhythmic and poetic rap with hard, edgy and guitar-filled rock. While working on his debut album, LaKid Wise is releasing a promotional giveaway mix album titled "Enter The Movement" available for direct download on www.TheHipRockStar.com as of November 24, 2009.

"Enter The Movement" will feature original works such as "Hustler", "Breaking Down" and various renditions and tributes to classics such as the late Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and the Beatles' "Yesterday". America's listeners have been waiting for something different to hit the airwaves. Although Hip-Rock had its years of rise with acts such as Limp Bizkit and Rage Against The Machine it has never stayed consistent with today's top charts. It is a substantial challenge to revive this genre and keep it stable but this mixtape stands as a great starting point.

"Bringing two of the most influential genres together is not going to be easy but with the support of the people, anything is possible," says LaKid Wise. "Music is universal. My work is about more than creating a unified sound. It is about sending a message."

LaKid Wise has been composing music since age eleven. Still rocking at twenty-one, he has drawn creative inspiration from the great artists we know in modern entertainment. From immigrating to New York City as a young child, interning at Roc-a-fella Records as a high-school student and releasing two independent albums in his teenage years, LaKid Wise is stepping outside of the box to redefine commercial music.
