As a man who enjoys the “simple things” in life, Gaitán has indeed experienced many Vices in pursuit of someone to love. In his debut visual release featuring fellow Bay Area artist, Turk, Gaitán serenades that special someone in his life, all the while performing each piece of instrument heard in the background, on his own. Despite what all others think of the “love” they’ve built with one another, Gaitán melodically explains that he lives his life for whatever & whomever he chooses to live for. Through this sensual vibe, the R&B crooner makes it clear to his lovely lady that he could care less about what anyone may say.. Come to terms with those vices.
Consistency, dedication and determination are what to expect from Calico Jonez of Swishgang. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, his new single “Leaving This Club” featuring Hip Hop veteran Snoop Dogg and newcomer David Gray is produced by The Nominees and is set to impress. This track illustrates finding love in the club and treating your lady to the finer things.
“Ghetto, music was our way out, listening to your favorite song could put you in a better mood in a bad time.” states Calico Jonez Calico Jonez began freestyle rapping as a hobby and dropped numerous mixtapes. His ambition led him to working amongst many legends and major artists in the industry. Jonez has recently been featured on Soulja Boy’s Stacks on Deck album and has released numerous solo mixtapes. Through all his many accomplishments Jonez expresses that he is major without the majors, independently touring different markets, landing videos on MTV and obtaining radio airplay.
S.W.I.S.H stands for successful, wise, independent and staying humble. The whole movement is dedicated to the minority, for every individual who was told they could not make it, to those with shattered dreams and the less fortunate. Calico strongly stresses in his movement that you do not have to be a drug dealer or a rapper to become successful. Jonez believes in following your dreams and standing up for what you believe in. The “SWISHGANG” movement originates from the “SWISH” adlib often heard in Jonez’s songs. Swishgang use “swish” as a figure of expression, which can mean “i agree”, “hello” or just simply “swish”. David Gray is a R&B & Pop singer/songwriter from Mount Vernon, New York and the most recent signee to SWISHGANG.
“Not everyone has to go through some of the same struggles that I had to, which is why I tell stories of the streets to the street but also so people that did not come from where I’m from can understand my experiences” remarks Jonez.

Elujay is a Hip-Hop artist/producer who uses his eclectic sounds to put his vision on wax. If you’ve never heard material from the Oakland musician & were looking for an overall jest of his artistry, paint a picture in your mind of jazzy production vibes that promote the rising “future bounce” sound. Elu himself would say that his music is selective and the sound of tomorrow.
Today he returns with a new addition to his growing collection of soulful vibes, this time recruiting R&B songster, YMTK titled “Flagrant”.
This new track is a dark and murky sample of rhodes keys layered with punchy drums and scattering hi hats. The production is brought to life when Grammy-certified trumpet player “Trumpet Dude,” whose musical genius has connected him to the likes of Wyclef Jean, Usher, Wiz Khalifa, Marsha Ambrosius, Eightball/MJG, adds his portion to the record. Subtle 808s give the song its hard-hitting flavor that mixes in well with its inherent soulfulness.
The verses in the track touch on how Elu and YMTK reflect on their past relationship problems and how they dealt with them, using outlets such as weed to “weather the storm” when a woman is pushing you to the edge.
Elu shares a bit of introspect on the record:
This is MY expression of the emotions that a woman caused me to feel when I was in a relationship with her and how I coped to get through it.

Michael Jackson’s 1982 record-breaking album Thriller will undoubtedly be mentioned in history as his most timeless work ever. The album has gone on to influence many greats that are still living today, and certainly paved the way for R&B music as we know it today.
Artists such as Usher, Chris Brown, and many others have built their entire careers following the blueprint that was originally layed out by “The King of Pop”.
Today, Bay Area R&B singer Cash Campain intends to be another artist mentioned in time when it comes to talents that have mirrored The King. His latest body of work Michael In ’79 can be seen & heard as an ode to the late Michael Jackson as the cover art to his new project is reminescent of the original Thriller album cover.
In this 13-track offering, Cash explores the depths of his R&B sound and incoprates the flavor of his native area (The Bay), Hip-Hop in its current stage, and the rhymth of the blues to manifest this music.
He’s aiming for this to be his best project yet:
This album has been a very in depth and personal project for me. It’s personal in the sense that I had the tools to be as creative as possible this time around. Nothing about this album is commercial, cookie cutter or made to continue a fad. Michael in ’79 has a timeless sound (hence the album title). I enlisted truly creative artists like my brother Caleborate, T Carrier and Stina Bates to ensure this album was full of records that will be around for many years to come.
With high hopes to conquer new audiences with his new project, Cash Campain presents to the masses his latest effort, Michael In ’79. Listen below.
