Been following Kountry Wayne Colley on Facebook for quite some time. Hilarious skits, and there is a realness to how he delivered even the most ridiculous ones. Here in this interview, there is some funniness but the realness comes through. Good content. Real talk.

Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels Declares That Having Mental Health Problems Is Not Shameful (Video)
July 26, 2017
My brother, BoneBreaker Jones, and I are constantly talking about this. When you have a health problem, you should get help! Mental health is health, and your health is you wealth. Don’t lose your HEALTH! Mental health problems affect everyone, even the mighty King Of Rock, the Devastating Mic Controller, Darryl McDaniels aka DMC of Run DMC.
No shame. If you need help, admit it and get it! Don’t know where/how? Just start talking and asking people you care about. Ask them to help you get to the right professional. But don’t just ignore the situations you are going through like it’s all good #TalkToSomebody

Skyzoo Speaks On His ‘F*ck It’ Moment (Video)
July 19, 2017
In this interview with Brooklyn-based emcee Skyzoo, he talks about leaving Morgan Stanley to do music full-time. Plus he has some projects in the works.
He hasn’t worked a ‘job’ in 11 years, and his mom and dad are his two biggest fans. Thanks to God and the pen. Such a dope interview. Another example of why our radar stays on Skyzoo alert!
(Even has some advice for other artists in this clip.)

Jimmy Iovine ‘Defies’ Industry Conventions And Speaks On How The Music Business And Technology Really Work (Video)
July 10, 2017
Did you catch “The Defiant Ones” debut last night? Interesting. If you have not, there will surely be an encore presentation before the next ep. But for now, you should check out this interesting clip of gems from the defiant Jimmy Iovine… talking about the music industry, the effects of technological innovation on it and more like a ‘g’ (as in guru, as in the wise man on the mountain who has seen it all and saw you coming).
Pharrell Williams and Scott Vener in the OTHERtone studio with Jimmy Iovine of Apple Music.

Artists should focus on their art! Make good music first, THEN worry about ‘getting paid’ on the road and selling gear and getting YouTube hits. Of course, the industry is not helping. The art is dying because the priorities are screwed up: (1) The industry is still holding to licensing/copyright mantras that still keep money from artists (the source of the art) and (2) the technology is providing promoters (the gatekeepers for artists getting money on the road) a new, albeit largely inaccurate measure of an the ‘value’ of what the artist is putting out. A YouTube sensation who makes music in two weeks is just demonstrating that they can get clicks, NOT that they make music as good or better than artists that spend months crafting their music (who is not getting all those clicks). On the whole, those who crank out tracks in two weeks from the road CANNOT be making better music than folks who take the time off tour and focus on turning out their best product… even if that’s what the YouTube views say. Iovine called that click count chicanery ‘fake news.’
BOOM! And this comes from Iovine, a guy who has made A LOT of money in music. Watch the short, powerful clip above with all three eyes open though. Now, remember that Iovine is with Apple Music; another music-meets-tech entity, where the streams are not ‘totally free.’ EVERYONE has an agenda, even Iovine.
Interesting that this is a YouTube clip though.

You’ll figure it out *wink*

Ishawna Speaks On Her Career, “Equal Rights” And More (Video)
June 9, 2017
Fair warning: You are going to fall for Ishawna’s voice almost as fast as her fineness. Interesting talk about her being where from where so many other Dancehall greats are from, her coming up and her uniqueness in the genre. Of course, Sway and Ishawna had to get into all the dirty and the ‘dutty’ in her hit “Equal Rights” (hot). All kinds of great convo. Watch!

Behind “The Breaks” (Ep. 7) [Video]
April 19, 2017
Somehow you gotta expect to hear ‘these are the breaks’ don’t you? Sway show instant pedigree to get the story behind the story in his opening talk-off.

If anyone can tell the story of a ‘Foray’ street music exec of the ’90s, best believe Def Jam Alum Liles can.
