Audio Stepchild is a hip-hop collective that initially formed in Louisville, Kentucky. They released their debut (and only) album “Land of the Snake Charmer” over a decade ago through Houston, Texas based record label BCD Music Group, which at the time was co-owned by Suave House Records founder Tony Draper.

Surprisingly, one of the greatest artists of all-time,Prince, showed up on the Audio Stepchild album with the song “When Will We Be Paid?” – - a song originally recorded by The Staple Singers. “Land of the Snake Charmer” also featured platinum producer Joe Traxx and H-Town legend Papa Rue who is known for his work with Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, 8Ball & MJG, Lil Flip, Curren$y, Lil Keke, Juvenile and others.

After a 10 year hiatus, Audio Stepchild is back in business and is gearing up for their new release titled “Every Coincidence is Significant” in early 2012. No track-listing for this album has surfaced yet, however, Audio Stepchild was most recently featured with the multi-platinum and Grammy-Nominated group Nappy Roots.

Southern California emcee, Kornbread (1/3 of the hit Hip-Hop group, Those Chosen), has released his first solo venture titled “Strays” LP, produced entirely by fellow So Cal native, J. Bizness. This amazing project is a view into the mindset of an individual who chooses to make their own path in life. The decisions that we make determine our progression or regression regardless of other people’s opinions of our circumstances. Strays embodies the trials and triumphs of many aspects of everyday living told from a lyrically insightful point of view. Definitely worth taking a listen to!

Urban Pop Artist @chrisworldmusic Releases Debut EP

admin — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 04:02:07 +0000

Soblu Music Group is proud to introduce Urban Pop Artist, Chris, to the music industry. Chris, a native of Washington, D.C., embodies a unique sound which is showcased on her debut EP, “Spread the Love,” releasing today (11/11/11). A refreshing blend of genres ranging from Dance to R&B to Pop, Chris has crafted an introductory project that truly showcases her versatile sound. When asked about why she chose to release her debut EP on the significant date of 11.11.11, Chris states, “It’s an exciting date! There won’t be another 11/11 for another 100 years and so many weddings are happening 11/11, so love is in the air! This project is very important to me so I thought it was fitting, a picture perfect debut date.”

When you press play on “Spread the Love” you will be greeted by the percussion-infused up-tempo lead single from the EP, “Yea Ok.” The other records featured on the EP are titled “Swag Is Up”, “Ask Me”, “808”, “Put It On Me”, & “#LEZGO”. The slow R&B groove of “Ask Me” sets it up as a favorite for listeners and a clear indication of the capacity this young star has to experiment with a number of different genres. With this project, Chris is definitely striving to prove to people that the love is still paramount, it lives in the music and will continue to grow once you chose to spread it to others.

When asked who her favorite artist is or who she is most often compared to, Chris immediately states, “Aaliyah! She is one of my favorite performers and I have always loved the writing and production on her albums. She was able to make urban, percussive music that was still popular and could crossover. Another favorite of mine is Janet Jackson. She can do a song in any genre and it makes sense. That flexibility and freedom of artistry makes her really timeless in my eyes. I also like what I am hearing from a lot of the ladies at the top of the Pop game right now. Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Ke$ha, etc. I hear a lot of great music coming out and it is really inspiring.” With a list consisting of such talented women, Chris is destined to have success as she has open ears, an open mind and a strong desire to explore and experience a world filled of ever-changing music.

Spread the Love” is available for FREE on Chris’ website, www.chrisworldmusic.com.
