✙MEET: Jade Alston

Do yourself a favor and get familiar with this artist .. like right now. Her name is Jade Alston, she’s from Philly and she’s ready. I got the opportunity to see her perform at the last Intern Showcase in Philly and I know for sure that I was watching a future star .. when you know, you know. I don’t usually predict the future but .. In a couple years I guarantee that she’ll be in the running for your favorite songstress.

Now. What I’m going to say next is a very bold but honest evaluation of her talent and personality:

While listening to her sing and watching her perform, I hear the soft tone and delivery of Toni Braxton, the storytelling of Marsha Ambrosius and the authenticity/likability of Aaliyah.

It’s actually crazy how good she sounds. My favorite track on her new project, Single On A Saturday Night is definitely the intro, “Single On A Saturday Night” .. by far. A smooth, catchy joint that gives you an image of a sexy, single lady dancing in front of a mirror, getting ready to go out.

Everybody that I introduce to her music always has the same confused, disgusted face. And it’s always for two reasons: 1) – they like what they hear and 2) – they can’t figure out who she sounds like. That’s what will make her great in the end, her individuality.

Salute.

Duce Block

December 22, 2011

Yoooo, I need everybody to listen and download this mixtape right here! Duce Block Freestyles Vol. 1 is brought to you by my younger homies Stackzz and Cue Bizzo, holding it down for YDM (Young, Dedicated & Motivated).

On this high-energy ride, expect to hear the slick punchlines and steady flows about the West Philadelphia inner-city life that Will Smith left out of his rhymes. At 16 and 18, I feel like these two have some promise in the Philly music scene. And if they keep at it long enough, they can excel a lot further. I enjoyed recording this mixtape for them and am looking forward to future work. The project features Damani of the Phli Hi Club and myself.

They did it again! The Ground Up gang continues to pump out good music, at an admirable rate. These cats are some of the hardest working artists I’ve ever been around; any success their receiving is rightfully owned. Romantic Comedy is a short EP they recently released. Looking at its title, you would think you’re in for a Ghostdini experience, but instead you find yourself nodding the whole time! It’s some dope, honest hip-hop and most importantly it gives you a unique experience. Every time you listen to Ground Up you can count on being invited into their world, and that’s what makes their music so dope.

Not to mention they’re good homies with the sponsors [Dub Caesar] of my upcoming project, MAINTAINING!

The only feature on here was yours truly.. I was honored for the placement. There will definitely be some work done in the future. The collab is called “All Night” and it’s a for sure BANGER! It was produced by Harrisburg’s Modurn Marvles and it will also be on MAINTAINING!
