Rolling Loud Roll Call: Gatsby

by .

Gatsby. 25 year-old Tampa bred artist, Gatsby is the undeniable monument of Tampa right now. After releasing his highly acclaimed and widely downloaded tour de force that is StarshipJERICHO, the producer/emcee took home a slew of awards to add to his already extensive list of accolades. The dark and minimalistic sounds met with Gatsby’s brash relatable topics combine to form a hybrid of insightful messages and ignorant anthems that have culminated in hits such as “Testify”, “Crowns” & “Man Of The City” (Heel Turn). Now riding the coattails of a massive year in 2014, Tampa’s own Gatsby plans to dominate again with his spot at this year’s Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th in Miami.

Rolling Loud Roll Call: Mani Coolin

by .

Los Angeles buzzmaker Mani Coolin’ came on the scene in 2013 with his first mixtape Bad Decisions, Good Intentions. From the release, he gained a lot of recognition for his single “Good Vibes” featuring Pac Div’s own Big Mibbs. Mani performed at the 2013 A3C Festival in Atlanta and multiple showcases through out the country. He was featured in XXL’s “The Break” proclaiming hit to be next up from L.A., but it wasn’t until he released a random single in 2014 entitled “Thanks Mom” that gained over 350,000 plays and the attention he deserved. All of 2014, he planned to release his album Hope4TheYouth, but we can now expect that to drop 2015. Mani released the first single from his album with Complex entitled “Free My Mind” featuring Dreamville’s newest signee Cozz. Catch Mani on his own tour later this year and in Miami at Rolling Loud Festival on February 28th.

KYLE – Wait On Me

by .

PRODUCERS: Sunny Norway & Beni Haze
UPCOMING PROJECT: TBA
RELEASE DATE: 2015

A song Kyle wrote for his Grandpa, Thomas Marty.

“This is the most personal story I’ve told thus far in my music. It’s about a promise.. a promise a 16-year-old me made to my grandfather as he was passing away. He told me ‘one day your family will need you .. the world will need you, it will be dark and cold and lonely but they will need you to shine.”
