Jazi – “Glue” (Stuck With Me)
Bred on island of Oahu and currently residing in Los Angeles, CA Hip-Hop artist Jazi has been making waves since the beginning. Born to an Indonesian mother and Caucasian-Jewish father, Jazi embodies a rare mix of cultures with a unique perspective.
Getting her start on the Hawaii Hip-Hop scene during her sophomore year of college, Jazi became inspired to make music after she linked up with Track of Trackbaby Films and began learning how to song write, utilizing her background in poetry. From there she began to pen songs, freestyle and battle in the parking lots on the local scene.
“One cypher outside in the parking lot grew into another opportunity to perform on a stage, which grew into another opportunity to throw my own events, which grew to meeting every radio DJ on the island. We gained the respect (and jealousy) of many as I kept advancing as an artist and I ended up leaving Hawaii for Los Angeles with the Honolulu Pulse ‘Best Hip Hop Artist’ Award,” Jazi said.
Since moving to LA, Jazi has hit the ground running earning the praise of her peers and local DJs alike and respect from many West Coast legends. Jazi even earned the lauded praise of LA based DJ, DJ Carisma, who co-signed her most recent release, Make A Move.
Not holding anything back and rolling with the momentum of her last effort, Jazi has plans to release yet another project dubbed, The Other One. Set for release this Summer, the project will feature a rollout of high quality videos directed, shot and edited by her longtime collaborator Track of Trackbaby Films.
“‘The Other One’ represents someone who doesn’t fall under the typical societal groups of what you should be, and they don’t fall into political labels and social labels. I am more of that; one on the outside, or the different one, seeing life from another view, hearing music from another tone and another world,” Jazi explained of The Other One project.
In addition to the release of new music, Jazi has plans to continue her mission to inspire and guide people into living a better life with her “Little Girl, Big Dream” initiative that seeks to create a new era in the world with more peace, justice, talent, and love. Look for her to be involved, giving back to the community by participating in various community building activities.
“The reason I live is for this music shit. I put my whole life into this Hip Hop shit. Sometimes I barely have time to enjoy myself because its still an every day grind and hustle. But its deeper than rap, its a lifestyle and life choice. I am married to the game and with every track I drop I am only reaching to touch more ears and change more lives,” Jazi concluded.
Big Scuwop – “Solid”
Bred in the nation’s capital of Washington, D.C., rapper Big Scuwop has been developing his skills since midway through high school after rawing influence from rappers like Shy Glizzy and Future. But while Big Scuwop’s sound developed amidst the trap music craze over the mid 2010’s, now he’s breaking out with his own sound and new single dubbed, “Solid.”
This song has viral hit potential all over it as Scuwop is pictured around Tampa rapping with a cadence and flow perfect for this new generation of listeners.
Going forward, Big Scuwop plans to “put on the pressure,” saying, “I plan to apply pressure like you never seen before. I feel like i got something to prove, so you can expect to see my face and hear my name a lot these next couple of months.”
Persuaded to pursue a career in music by friends who were already recording, Big Scuwop broke onto his local music scene with the song, “Sauce On Me,” which was actually the first song that he wrote by himself and recorded solo. From there Big Scuwop is set to debut his project Live From My Conscious, in the Summer of 2017 complementing the project with several music videos. Gearing up for the project, Big Scuwop is releasing his lustful song “Mines Forever.”
“It was just me talking my stuff in my vibe again, saying how if a chick ever mess with me, she’s stuck with me. It don’t matter if it’s 10 years later and she got a family, Imma always be able to smash,” Big Scuwop said.
Remaining humble, Scuwop is grateful to the fans that have been rocking with him as he strives to get better every day.
“I appreciate everybody thats rocking with me. It’s only gonna get better from here, ain’t no looking back. I try to better myself in all aspects of life everyday, so I promise to keep letting y’all hear my progress in every song,” he added.
