Kid Anansi Releases Eponymous Debut Album on Aquamarine Records – Sept, 23rd

Hot off the heels of an international tour, Kid Anansi is set to release his highly anticipated debut album on September 23rd via Aquamarine Records. The self-titled album, "Kid Anansi," is a groundbreaking blend of spoken word, music, and comedy, capturing the essence of his artistic journey.

The album reflects Kid Anansi's evolution as an artist, showcasing his growing confidence in both his identity and sexuality. Known for his whimsical storytelling, Kid Anansi uses his platform to explore and celebrate the complexities of being British Ghanaian. His work challenges the status quo of what it means to be considered Black, and he aims to empower his community through his art.

Since his standout performance on the BAFTA award-winning first season of "Life & Rhyme" alongside Benjamin Zephaniah in 2020, Kid Anansi has taken his poetry to new heights. His work is deeply inspired by the cultural contradictions he faces—often perceived as "too Black" in some circles and "not Black enough" in others. Through his art, he navigates these dualities with humor and grace, telling stories that bridge the gap between two worlds.

Kid Anansi's storytelling has been described as a unique blend of Zack Fox's sharp wit and the legendary West African griots' timeless wisdom. His chosen name, Anansi, is a nod to the Ghanaian mythological trickster who, in the form of a spider, is the keeper of all stories. Much like the mythical figure, Kid Anansi shares his world through his own distinct lens, offering audiences a glimpse into his lived experiences.

In addition to his solo work, Kid Anansi has graced the stages of renowned festivals such as Glastonbury, Cardiff Poetry Festival, Latitude, Shambala, Sheffield's Tramlines, and Guernsey's Vale Earth Fair. Beyond performances, he dedicates time to leading workshops for children, helping them develop writing and performance skills, while fostering their confidence.

Kid Anansi's debut album is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a statement of identity, resilience, and creativity. His unique voice is set to make waves in the music and spoken word scenes, bringing a fresh perspective to audiences worldwide.

Pop Baby Sails on Single to "Redemption"

Super Bowl LV half-time performer, Pop Baby, born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, is on an interesting journey since debuting last October; a journey that will lead to the release of his first EP, titled "Redemption", on January 6, 2023. His current radio single, "We The Women", is still in rotation and featured on specialty programs across the continent. Pop Baby not only wants to change the way we see and hear pop culture with one song at a time but also questions our preconceived conceptions about strong and fearless women, and how males in society relate to them.

"We The Women", intended to be a unifying equal rights anthem, tells a story of standing up for the female portion of the population that carries an important message of standing for and with people, and not against them. As the world moves nearer to ending another year, one that's been most tumultuous for many, it's a message that once more we must well be reminded of.

Prior to dropping "We The Women", Pop Baby enjoyed a respectable measure of success with "Unpredictable", an earlier single from the beginning of this year." Encouraged by the response to his present radio release, the artist has been slaving away diligently in the recording studio cutting the final tracks for his "Redemption" EP collection of tunes. Now, as this year winds down, the final steps are ready to be taken toward sharing this vision of change that the artist so adamantly embraces.

Once "Redemption" becomes available in 2023, multiple-track-driven Electronic, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Top 30 format broadcasters will receive the entire EP for airplay consideration. Updates will be announced in the weeks to follow. The "We The Women" record has already been distributed globally to all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. North American radio and press campaigns are currently in place for Pop Baby's creative work. Mainstream Top 40, R&B/Hip-Hop, and Rhythmic format single-driven radio stations were serviced with this song.

Tacboy, a model signed to IMG, the top modeling agency, sings with a sense of freedom and a look that evokes visions of Jim Morrison. He's mysterious as the poetry flows out of him effortlessly while he connects with the music. As the frontman, he mesmerizes both with his voice and looks, not to mention his lyrics. Recently, he was shooting the feature film "Buried Onions" in California and which is slated for world release in 2023. Sharkeyes (a name dubbed by his younger brother because of the sibling's unique black onyx eye color), provides the entire instrumental accompaniment on their releases.

Chris Luciani Transverses To ANOTHER WORLD On New Single

New Jersey rocker Chris Luciani, founder, and leader of the hard rock band LUCIDITY, and his label Precision Records have formally announced the release of a brand new solo side-project for the artist. ANOTHER WORLD is the eponymous debut single from his solo album of the same name which will be made available on July 29th, 2022. An inquisitive composition that not only externally asks the age-old question of, "Is there really anyone out there?" but also the self-doubting inner conundrum of, "Is there really anyone in here?" Some of the conclusions Luciani arrives at are sure to unsettle quite a few who hear this song.

While Chris Luciani's last EP, titled OVERLOAD, was intended to showcase the singer/songwriter's keyboard and vocal skills through the five songs therein, ANOTHER WORLD is a guitar-driven foray into the world of hard rock music. Shunning the past production style of OVERLOAD, which featured a substantial use of electronic synthesized instruments and drum machines, on ANOTHER WORLD Chris works with a flesh and blood ensemble of live musicians who come together to help him forge molten lyrics and metal riffs together to allow the artist to get the heavy edge into the track and take it into the realm of mainstream active rock.

The ANOTHER WORLD single is now being distributed globally by his Precision Records to all major digital retailers and streaming platforms (already up to 132K streams on Spotify!). A North American radio and press campaign has also been launched to promote ANOTHER WORLD and to spread the word about Chris Luciani's new solo side-project.

Darrell Kelley Takes On "Violence and Hate"

With last month's release of Darrell Kelley's blazing "Gun Reform" (released worldwide on the Viral Records label) that decried the raging gun violence plaguing the United States, Mr. Kelley, originally from Boston, MA but now residing in the sunshine state of Florida, now addresses a fitting 4th of July subject: the January 6, 2021, Washington, DC, riots by Trump supporters and the ongoing investigation into that matter. It appears democracy itself may be clinging to dear life by a thread and a prayer as more evidence is uncovered, presented, considered, and reviewed. What better way to sum up the situation than the succinct but precise title of his latest single, "Violence and Hate".

With every pound of the investigative chairman's gavel the truth now emerges as to what really happened on that fateful day last year. "Violence and Hate" endeavors to sort from an artistic perspective what is known from what is only believed to be true in order to capture the full picture of a republic who's, from the White House on down, failed its population. As stated by one Viral Records spokesperson, "As per his obsession to speak truth to power, this record pulls no punches. We've always seen Darrell as being a man who's trying to tame and change the world one song at a time!"

This week, the "Violence and Hate" single, was uploaded to all major digital and retail platforms. Now being distributed globally by his record company to all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. A North American radio and press campaign has also been launched to promote "Violence and Hate", and to get the word out about this travesty and threat to not only the laws which this land was built upon but even our American way of life. Mainstream Top 40, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, and Adult Contemporary format radio stations were serviced with the single. Additional personal appearances will be announced in the coming weeks.

Darrell Kelley’s “Gun Reform” Is The Tipping Point

Darrell Kelley’s “Gun Reform” (released globally on the Viral Records label) takes up this battle cry against the NRA and the seemingly uncontrolled flow of automatic weapons in every corner of this country. Many in America now feel we’ve reached the tipping point on gun law reform. After the recent massacres of unarmed citizens by armed assassins have been raging across the United States, most now conclude, that enough is enough. And Kelley employs his lyrical skills to shoot from the hip with lines like “It’s hard to get a driver’s license and even a state ID, but if you’re eighteen years old you can buy an AK15”, to speak truth to justice and call out the rampant insanity sweeping this nation.

After last month’s launch of Darrell Kelley’s iconic “Insane In The Ukraine” had him going toe-to-toe against Russia and Vladimir Putin, the artist, originally from Boston, MA, is once again out on the road to share his message with people. Currently, Kelley is in Buffalo, NY, participating in gun reform events with other artists and activists. “Gun Reform” is the bell that must be rung in order to get people to wake up to this ever-increasing threat of arms violence that has plagued the republic like a life threatening lead-poisoned epidemic.

This week the “Gun Reform” single was submitted to all major digital and retail platforms. It’s being distributed globally by his record company to all major digital retailers and streaming platforms on the internet who have heard and joined his battle call against this senseless violence. A North American radio and press campaign has also been launched to promote “Gun Reform”, and to get the word out about this travesty and threat to not only human life and property, but to our way of life. Mainstream Top 40, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, and Adult Contemporary format radio stations were serviced with the single. Additional personal appearances will be announced in the coming weeks.

"Insane In The Ukraine" has Darrell Kelley Going To War With Russia

Darrell Kelley sounds the battle cry against Vladimir Putin and Russia's decision to invade the Ukraine region. "Insane In The Ukraine" harks back upon the iconic Cypress Hill title of their hit, "Insane In The Membrane". Calling out the country, and the man who leads it, for the horrendous war crimes currently being committed on a daily basis inside the former Soviet Union satellite country, he pulls no punches. And this activist artist is not alone. Through several passages in the piece, the American president, Joseph Biden, whose voice is heard intoning the repeated phrase of "Who in the Lord's name?" which was sampled from one of the USA elected leader's more recent speeches concerning the Russian invasion.

After last month's launch of Darrell Kelley's iconic "Won't Die For Spotify Remix" had him in a battle to the death with a few music streaming platforms that resulted in him pulling the track from both Spotify and TuneCore, his label, Viral Records, issued the following statement. "Mr. Kelley felt the value of his artistic and spiritual soul far exceeded any amount of money or fame, these two platforms could ever provide for him. We at Viral Records entirely support his decision and commend his integrity in dealing with this freedom of speech issue and artistic control. Even after other such major label artists, like Neil Young who has since backtracked on his decision to remove his entire music catalog from Spotify. Darrell Kelley has, and will continue to, stick to his guns on that dire matter"

This week the "Insane In The Ukraine" single was submitted to all major digital and retail platforms. It's being distributed globally by his record company to all major digital retailers and streaming platforms on the internet who have heard and joined his battle call against Putin's tyranny. A North American radio and press campaign was then immediately launched to promote "Insane In The Ukraine" and to get the word out about this travesty and threat to not only human life and property, but to world peace at large and what now looks like the beginning of WWIII. Mainstream Top 40, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, and Adult Contemporary format radio stations were serviced with the single. Additional personal appearances will be announced in the coming weeks.

Darrell Kelley Speaks Truth to Power on "Won't Die For Spotify Remix"

Like a biblical diminutive David digging in his heels to face-off with the mighty giant Goliath, Darrell Kelley (on the Viral Records label), has announced the release of his latest single, "Won't Die For Spotify Remix". The ongoing Joe Rogan controversy, which is currently taking a toll on not only Spotify's working relationship with major recording artists such as Neil Young, Nils Lofgren, Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills & Nash, as well as many others, but also the streaming corporation's stock value. Kelley too joins their ranks to take a stand and speak truth to power once more. And already, the huge corporate giants of digital retail and streaming have done what these companies normally do; they try to crush all those who speak against them. Especially when those who speak are armed with the mightiest weapon of all: The Truth.

Rogan, whose audience reportedly surpasses two hundred million listeners on Spotify, was already called out by celebrities, users, and news media outlets alike for his irresponsible and factually deficient podcasts about the COVID virus. According to Mr. Kelley, "I heard about that, and it really upset me. We all know people who have suffered over the past few years as a result of COVID misinformation. But when I saw Joe's immediate response and apology shortly thereafter, I was planning to just let it go. Then hearing about Rogan's latest controversy arising from his use of the N-word, I knew I had to enlist in the battle. So, that's how "Won't Die For Spotify Remix", the song I wrote and recorded last Sunday about this, came about."

On Monday, the single was submitted to all major digital and retail platforms. Then, on Tuesday, Apple Music and TuneCore distribution delivered notice his recording had been removed from their platforms, and for the vaguest, least transparent of reasons, that to date, still remains unclear. They may have reasoned this would be enough to dishearten an independent artist who would then eventually go away. But, according to Viral Records, "They were wrong! We'll fight this battle to the very end. Many have now come to stand by our side. In an effort to get the word out, we've begun circulating an online petition for people to sign: https://chng.it/hWDBFGkNHV"

"Won't Die For Spotify Remix" is being distributed globally by his record company to all major digital retailers and streaming platforms on the internet who have heard and joined his battle call. A North American radio and press campaign has just been launched to promote "Won't Die For Spotify Remix", and get the word out about this travesty. Mainstream Top 40, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, and Adult Contemporary format radio stations have already been serviced with the single.

Coldwards is a four-piece rock band with three family members including drummer Paul Crosby of the Grammy nominated R.I.I.A. Gold and Platinum awarded Saliva. Also in the band are his two sons, Zac, (vocals/all things electronic (i.e.: loops, samples, synths, etc), Sean (vocals/guitar), and close family friend and bass player Richie Hey. Not far removed from the sound of bands like Saliva, this release carries the torch further down the musical landscape and endeavors to break into a new frontier after "Say Something", their last release from October 29, 2021.

Advance copies of this crossover single have been made available to Modern Rock, Active Rock and Alternative Rock mainstream radio broadcasters. Press contacts are currently being serviced with their electronic press kit. Interviews and/or appearances will be booked later this month for Coldwards. Powerhouse ONErpm will be overseeing the global digital retail distribution for the release. Additional news updates, as well as other information about upcoming events and appearances this year, will be made available at  https://www.facebook.com/WakeUpMusicGrp. Members of the media are encouraged to contact the representative listed at the end of this press release for an EPK, or any other additional information as it becomes available.

According to this nu-metal-edged alternative rock band, "My Skeletons" is about dealing with the ghosts of your past, coming to terms that they're a part of you, trailing over you like a dark cloud, and trying to cope and just make it or fake it to get through the day. Coldwards, a Houston, TX, based outfit has a lot to say, and Wake Up Music Rocks! along with ONErpm distribution has built a structurally sound podium from where these musicians may preach their nu-sound rock gospel.

Wake Up! Music, and The Shamanic (comprised of DJs/Producers Ralphi Rosario and Craig J Snider) is officially releasing their tribute to DJ Frankie Knuckles - "FK Always", next week on January 18, 2022.

Knuckles was the global Godfather of House music and a longtime friend and mentor to the Shamanic, as well as to hundreds of DJs/Producers worldwide. "FK Always" is a loving homage to him and to the indelible legacy he left that will be passed on for generations to come. The track features actually spoken word commentary by none other than the master himself: Frankie Knuckles.
