    0

    Jucee Froot (born Terrica Alexander) is an American born rapper and singer. She became known through freestyles and car raps such as ‘Bad and Boujee’which went viral. Her talent caught the eye of Birdman who flew her down to Miami and the rest is history. The ability to switch up the flow from hardcore raps to singing a hook, Jucee will continue to be a rising artist.

    her viral videos on Facebook with a following of over 390,000 people.

    Froot is most known for her viral videos on Facebook with a following of over 390,000 people. Her first video to gain the most attention was a freestyle she did over K. Camp‘s Damn Right beat which made Worldstarhiphop.

    She has a long list of fan favorites which consist of Wishy-Washy, No Flockin, Bad & Boujee and many more. While doing her FaceBook freestyles she was able to catch the attention of Jermaine Dupri, Yo Gotti, Da Brat, K. Michelle and Young Dolph. She has since then been working with Birdman and Cash Money Records.

    Jucee Froot’s Pitch for 2020 XXL Freshman – XXL

    Before the 2020 XXL Freshman class will be revealed this late 2020 spring, the Freshman hopefuls are here to appear and demonstrate why they merit a spot right now. The tenth Spot casting a ballot, controlled by SoundCloud, dispatches today (March 30), which implies hip-hop’s rising newcomers are competing for a spot on the 2020 XXL Freshman spread.

    Memphis’ own Jucee Froot is putting on for her old neighborhood. When the multi-skilled 25-year-old rapper figured out how to play piano and keep in touch with her own music before she was even in the twofold digits, it was clear she was bound for something more prominent.

    In 2014, her remix of K. Camp’s “Damn Right” earned Jucee her first popular minute, collecting more than 5 million perspectives on Facebook and Worldstar for the going with video. With everyone’s eyes on her, Jucee before long connected up with Young Dolph and showed up on his 2015 mixtape, 16 Zips, and by 2016, she’d been co-marked by any semblance of Yo Gotti, K. Michelle, Jermaine Dupri, and Da Brat.

    Presently in 2020, Jucee is marked to Atlantic Records through a joint endeavor with Art@War and Loyal 100 Entertainment. The year has hitherto been incredible toward the southern spitter, as her track “Danger” was appointed absurd of Prey soundtrack, and her “Life Is Good” music video accumulated 2.2 million perspectives in under two months.

    [Michael Kyser] President of Black Music at Atlantic Records.

    0

    The announcement was made today by Atlantic Chairman/COO Julie Greenwald and Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman. Kyser, who began his music career two decades ago at Def Jam Recordings, joined Atlantic Records in 2004 as Executive Vice President of Urban Music.

    Michael Kyser began his music industry career in 1992 at Def Jam Recordings, joining the company as a national radio and DJ promotion representative. He expanded into national promo and artist development, working and touring with such artists as Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Method Man, Redman, Foxy Brown, Warren G, and Montell Jordan.

    In 2000, he was named Vice President of Def Jam, working with Roc-A-Fella Records and Murder Inc., while developing the Def Jam South and Def Soul brands and making such artists as Ludacris, Ja Rule, Ashanti, and Kanye West household names. In 2004, when Island Def Jam head Lyor Cohen left the company to join Warner Music Group, Kyser joined his IDJ colleague Julie Greenwald in making the move to WMG’s Atlantic Records division.

    in 2000, he was named Vice President of Def Jam, working with Roc-A-Fella Records and Murder Inc.

    As Executive Vice President of Urban Music, he has helped expand and/or launch the careers of artists as T.I., Missy Elliott, Estelle, Sean Paul, Flo Rida, Trey Songz, B.o.B, Jaheim, Musiq Soulchild, and Janelle Monae. In 2009, Kyser was a key player in one of Jay-Z’s most successful releases to date, The Blueprint 3.

    Julie Greenwald commented: “Kyser has been my trusted colleague and close friend for nearly 20 years, since we both joined Def Jam. We grew up together in this business. He has a deeper understanding of the urban music landscape than anyone in our industry.

    “Kyser has immersed himself in the music and the culture, and he is a master at creating opportunities, building careers, and developing invaluable artist relationships. He has been a down-to-earth mentor and guide to artists and staffers alike, earning the genuine respect and loyalty of everyone he works with. I am very proud to announce this much-deserved promotion.”

    Craig Kallman noted: “It is a terrific testament to Kyser’s rich knowledge, insight, and achievements that he becomes the first person in Atlantic history to hold the title of President of Black Music. Among his many gifts, he knows intuitively how to bring the music to the widest possible audience, breaking down cultural barriers while nurturing the artist in the process. Since coming on board at Atlantic seven years ago, he has played a pivotal role in the revitalization of our urban presence, and I join Julie in congratulating Kyser on his new post.”

    Lyor Cohen, Warner Music Group Vice Chairman and Chairman and CEO, Recorded Music – Americas and the U.K., said: “Since Kyser joined us at Def Jam, I have watched him quite literally learn the business from the ground up: working the streets; hitting radio, TV, and the clubs; going on the road with the bands and doing whatever it took to break artists, get their music heard, and build brands.

    “That kind of complete immersion in an artist’s career is one of our top priorities at WMG, where we are 100% focused on identifying rising stars and nurturing their careers, as well as on giving our creative executives the support they need to make those careers the biggest they can be. Kyser is one of those executives. He doesn’t just do his job, he lives his job, and since those early days at Def Jam, I’ve seen him evolve into one of the most admired and accomplished members of the urban music community. This appointment is richly deserved.”

    Michael Kyser commented: “To say that this is a dream come true is an understatement. The heritage of black music at Atlantic Records is second to none in this industry, and it is both humbling and thrilling to take on this new post at a label with such an amazing legacy.

    “To be a part of the birth of the new Atlantic over the past seven years has been an extraordinary experience. I want to thank Julie and Lyor for the incredible encouragement, support, and belief they have shown me over our past two decades together, and Craig for welcoming me so enthusiastically into the Atlantic family. We have a fantastic roster of talent, combined with the best staff in the business, and I’m looking forward to building on our achievements to take black music at Atlantic Records to new heights.”

    [Arnold Taylor] South Coast Music Group, C.E.O Behind DaBaby’s Rise

    0

    Let the record show, South Coast Music Group founder and CEO Arnold Taylor knows how to throw a party. But he also knows how – and more specifically when – not to throw a party. Not a proper one, anyway. So, he explains, the current COVID-dominated conditions meant the celebrations for DaBaby’s latest US No. 1 album, Blame It On Baby, involved “five of us in masks and gloves, six feet away from each other – I couldn’t even get a high five!”, adding that “we have a great amount of respect for what people are going through right now and remained mindful of keeping safe.”

    Taylor has managed DaBaby since meeting him nearly four years ago, a pivotal encounter that prompted him to leave his last label job, with Epic, and concentrate full time on breaking the rapper from Charlotte, North Carolina, alongside building a label/management company, in SCMG, that is now also home to Toosii (“my next superstar”, for whom South Coast has just signed a deal with Capitol), Big Mali and Blacc Zacc (SCMG/Interscope).

    Going solo was inevitable for Taylor, who describes himself as “first and foremost an entrepreneur” – he has had his own projects since he started working at a record store and created his own influential record pool while attending college.

    Sure enough, in the last couple of years, he and DaBaby have made a mark you can see from space.

    It was Taylor’s position of influence with DJs – and as a conduit to local markets for national record companies – that saw him carve out a career, initially in promotions and then incorporating A&R, with famous labels including Blackground Records, Def Jam, and Interscope.

    Along the way, working alongside artists and executives including Timbaland, Aaliyah, Cash Out, Yo Gotti and L.A. Reid, Taylor made sure he was always watching, learning, absorbing and planning – and always certain that he would get the chance to make his own mark with his own artist.

    Sure enough, in the last couple of years, he and DaBaby have made a mark you can see from space. After breaking through in 2018, with his mixtape, Baby Talk 5, released through Roc Nation, his debut studio album, Baby On Baby, which kicked off SCMG’s deal with Interscope, went to No. 1.

    The follow-up, Kirk (2019) also went to No. 1, and led to guest spots on tracks by big names such as Post Malone, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Camila Cabello and Future. And, just last week, Blame It on Baby became the rapper’s third No. 1 album in 13 months – an astonishing feat, marked by a socially responsible celebration.

    Taylor’s not overly concerned. He knows there will be time again for Champagne and bear hugs, as he plots a long-term career for DaBaby – the man he calls “the LeBron James of South Coast Music, our franchise player” – and tells MBW, “I always knew I was going to get here – the only detail I needed to fill in was when and how…”

    The label is already making a ton of noise with other artists on the roster. Columbia, South Carolina’s Blacc Zacc signed to Interscope in September and is gaining momentum as one of the fastest-rising trap rappers in the south. Budding 18-year-old Raleigh artist, Toosii, who recently signed to label, is also cultivating a strong Gen Z following with his melodic street rap-singing style.

    With efforts clearly concentrated on the label and developing more talent in the city, Taylor is devising a plan to build a compound with studios, training facilities, development centers, TV and film production: “I really just want to make sure we make the city proud to be from here. That to me is the most important thing is making sure the younger generation is proud to be from Charlotte.”

    With DaBaby’s well-documented rise and accolades that have piled up in 2019 including two solo Grammy nominations, the XXL Freshman Class cover, BET’s Best New Artist, and several charting songs on Billboard, Taylor has his eyes set on bigger goals for the label and for Charlotte. “I don’t bathe in my success, man. I’m on to the next, I’m already on 2023. I’m trying to keep elevating DaBaby to be the best he can be. I wanna keep on puttin’ on for the city, I wanna keep blowing up the SCMG brand,” he said. “We just beginning, bro. We got so much sh*t to do. I gotta chip on my shoulder, I got something to prove right now. We tryna be the next Def Jam the next Cash Money, the whole nine.”

    Republic Records has been the Super Label for the last [4+] Years.

    Republic Records is an American record label owned by Universal Music Group (UMG). It was founded by Avery Lipman and Monte Lipman as an independent label in 1995, and was acquired by UMG in 2000. Republic was initially an imprint of the Universal/Motown Records Group, and was renamed Universal Republic Records after a reorganization in 2006 before reverting to its original name in 2012.

    In 2006, corporate restructuring saw the formation of Universal Republic Records through a merger between the two labels

    In 2006, corporate restructuring saw the formation of Universal Republic Records through a merger between the two labels. Monte Lipman became the president and CEO of the restructured label while Avery Lipman served as co-president and COO. Other changes were made at the label’s parent, Universal Motown Republic Group, during the summer of 2011. Universal Motown Records was shut down, transferring its artists to the newly-recreated Motown Records or Universal Republic Records. The umbrella label was merged with the Island Def Jam Music Group, making Universal Republic Records a stand-alone label and shutting down the Universal Motown Republic Group. In August 2011, the restructured Universal Republic signed Ariana Grande to a record contract.

    Atlantic Records is the go to label of 2022. Wanna meet with them?

    0

    Atlantic Recording Corporation (simply known as Atlantic Records) is an American record label founded in October 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun and Herb Abramson. Over its first 20 years of operation, Atlantic earned a reputation as one of the most important American labels, specializing in jazz, R&B, and soul by Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave, Ruth Brown and Otis Redding. Its position was greatly improved by its distribution deal with Stax. In 1967, Atlantic became a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, now the Warner Music Group, and expanded into rock and pop music with releases by Led Zeppelin and Yes.

    In 2007, the label celebrated its 60th anniversary with the May 2 PBS broadcast of the American Masters documentary Atlantic Records.

    In 2007, the label celebrated its 60th anniversary with the May 2 PBS broadcast of the American Masters documentary Atlantic Records: The House that Ahmet Built and the simultaneous Starbucks CD release of Atlantic 60th Anniversary: R&B Classics Chosen By Ahmet Ertegun. That year also saw Atlantic reach a milestone for major record labels. According to the International Herald Tribune, “More than half of its music sales in the United States are now from digital products like downloads on iTunes and ring tones for cellphones”, doing so “without seeing as steep of a decline in compact disc sales as the rest of the industry.”
