Beleshia “Lyrical” McCulley on Balancing Motherhood, Leadership, and the Music Game
What drew you to the music industry, and how did you break through? I get this question a lot. My daughter is Ashlee Bankz (rapper from the South Suburbs of Chicago). She was in highschool playing basketball and decided that she wanted to do music. I was already doing music at the time doing background vocals for other artists and singing with a band. I put my artistry to the side to make sure she would be good.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

The J Balvin remix contest of his song Nuestro Momento
Some time ago J Balvin and some liquor 🥃 company held a contest to remix his song Nuestra Momento. I was one of the contestants i remixed a version of the track too. My track is what I consider to be Samba electronica. What you hear with my vocals and his vocal track is call and response. I never found out who wound up winning the competition. I did win as we all did by getting the chance to at least have it heard and also just to remix a track and say that I have a version of it myself.

I’m too sexy remixed by Rikki La Rouge
I forever have loved by Right Said Fred. I’m too sexy. Give me an idea of how much of a fan of this song I am I know there are so many versions of this song. It’s great. Since I like to do a little DJing and reworking songs with things, this is my version of. I’m too sexy. I call it the rose color glasses even at night remix. I think it’s a really cool trap the way I did it just to add to how many versions and remixes this unbelievably funny song about supet models is.
