Edison Salvador: The Next R&B Sensation
Music would like to introduce you to an up and coming R&B star. You cannot think about music without thinking about Edison. In the beginning of his music, years he would end up using his full name which was Edison Salvador, but his mom thought it would be hard for people to remember. He did not want to change his name to anything crazy so he decided to use his first name instead. Edison felt like his name brought uniqueness with not a lot of people carrying the same name.

Area57 Music Group Masterminded By "Houston Hip-Hop Veteran Tink"
IN his varied forms from an underground Houston ghetto to an internationally recognized trend and commercial industry, hip hop has imagination and innovation at its heart. Either musician manufacture new musical instruments from record players, wave spoken words mysteriously over rhythms, or now use digital media to create collaboration networks; imagination is a cultural trait and continues to be relevant today.

What WAP Really Means
Ever since it first premiered on VH1 I had been enthralled with the drama, the heartbreak, and the absolute, mostly unintended hilarity of the cast of Love and Hip Hop. Mona Scott Young had assembled a mix of hip hop hopefuls and has-beens to create either a jumping-off point for a comeback or a career graveyard. Someone who had taken full advantage of this platform, along with Remy Ma, is one Cardi B. The snaggletooth stripper was initially taken as a joke by fans and a good amount of her other cast members but mylanta, did she show everyone up. She is now one of the most successful alums of the show.

XVI— Raw and Unapologetic
Raw and unapologetically honest, XVI (pronounced 16th) brings his life, love and tribulations into every verse he raps. Growing up on 16th Avenue in a tough neighborhood of East Bradenton, Florida (where XVI indubitably got his name), XVI found himself in and out of public schools and detention centers. "Eat or be eaten" was the mantra he lived by which became his truth and a byproduct of growing up in such strenuous of environments. It wasn't until moving to Clearwater where his life took a new turn, finding himself among other music innovators that took notice of XVI's musical talent. These relationships helped set a foundation for XVI to harness his musical skill and create a platform to release his music. Known for his attention to detail, intricate word plays, and concept driven raps, XVI continues to personify his journey through his music.

Listen to the thump. The lyrics are like scenes from gunfights in the streets of Wilmington, Delaware, Altanta, Georgia Chicago, Illinois, Los Angeles, California, or New York City, New York. These places all have experienced spikes in violence during this COVID-19 pandemic. The demonstrations continue. So what is the soundtrack to all of this? The greatest decade for music, the Roaring 20’s...2.0. This is the Trap Age.

Casso Dwayne
Tell us a little about you Casso: Casso Dwayne is my stage name some of you may or may not know me. So here’s little insight on my musical journey and life experience that got me to the point of life I am now. I originally wanted to just draw and paint, I mean music was always apart of me but at the time I was more intrigued with that type of art. I learned quickly that I wanted to make music after being inspired by artists such as Lil Wayne, 50 cent, Ludacris, Nelly and pretty much every mainstream artist from the early 2000s. I always felt that If I became rich like these guys I would be in a position to help others and take care of my family, as crazy as it may sound that’s still the goal till this day. I wrote my first rap probably around the age of 7. By the time I was 15 I was able to physically stop writing raps. Being influenced by artists like Lil Wayne not having to write down his raps with pen and paper but able to memorize his words and build from there. Music and art has always been a passion of mine. With my family packing up and leaving Illinois and moving to Atlanta my chances of actually being able to live out my dreams were greater. Moving to Decatur Georgia at such a young age I was able to form some really good relationships with some amazing artists. At the age of 17 me and two of my friends formed at rap group (Top3) although it wasn’t long-standing it was an great opportunity and gave me a lot insight on the music world. Shortly after I became a solo artist and began to explore the music world more, I also had a chance to work with more creatives in the city. In 2018 I released my first song on SoundCloud entitled (Rollin Stone ft Antiii). After the release of my first song I gained a little momentum and a small following. Unfortunately due to some personal issues I didn’t come out with any music the following year outside of songs that I had been featured on by other artist that I’ve worked with. Fast forward to July 4th 2020 I released the first song that I’ve ever had on ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS. My song (Beautiful Colors ft January Sky) has been doing really well and has been opening a lot of doors so far. I have so much more in the works and also finishing up my first project that I will exclusively say here is entitled “Angel Time”. I Honestly feel that this project will open a lot of doors for me and will create a lot of opportunity. The amount of time I’m putting into this project is insane and I’m almost certain that everyone will recognize my effort once the whole project is wrapped up and you all get to hear it. The amazing part about making music is the fact you’re free to express yourself. Creating something to give to the world is basically a gift and I wouldn’t have it any other way. As I move forward with my goals,dreams and aspirations I just hope to remain humble and fearless. One of my favorite quotes are “The only sin is Limitation”. I live by that and try to instill these same morals into others. Every since a young age I’ve always felt like there was is more to life. That’s applied to everything including financially and I thinks time to show my family that it’s possible.
