Encore Status: Deena Jonez

Posted by Tricia Status On October - 13 - 2010

DeenaJonez

With the recent explosion of Nicki Minaj it has become more and more apparent that the music industry has void that needs to be filled. I’ve seen a few underground female MCs that haven’t gotten the attention they deserve for a myriad of reasons. I personally believe its because even though they were talented, they weren’t naked enough — but that’s a controversial topic for another post.
I really hope this young, HARDWORKING, talented artist by the name of Deena Jonez can open peoples eyes. I got her mixtape ‘Memoirs of a Libra’ by email and was impressed by the Brooklyn native. She definitely Reps Kings County, BROOKLYN to the fullest with a futuristic and diverse approach. Her heart and soul is in every track. She just released her next album Kings County which didn’t disappoint us one bit.

@Tricia_Status of Encore Status interviewed her. Listen to the interview below and listen to a couple of her tracks from Kings County.

Encore Status: The Kid Gashi

Posted by Tricia Status On August - 16 - 2010

The Kid Gashi

Every once in awhile you’ll find an artist whose talent is so raw yet rich, you have stop what you’re doing? You just have to sit there in awe, because what you’re hearing is something more than “potential”…you’re hearing destiny. When I heard The Kid Gashi‘s demo, I felt this very way. I didn’t know much about Gashi until after I interviewed him. By the end of the call, “The Kid” was able to convince me that this was more than just a phase, and his talent will evolve season to season. This Albanian-African born artist reppin’ Brooklyn will be a force to reckon with we guarantee it!…Listen to his tracks and our interview below. ‘No Shortcuts’ and ‘In My Life Time’ are off of his demo. He also has a single called No Coming Back featuring Nipsy Hussle (video is below player).

Sag Black

In honor of AIDS walk 2010, Encore Status interviewed an up coming artist with a special story. Artist Sagittarius Black participates in the AIDS walk every year with his mom who contracted the disease a year before he was born. Listen to his story and the track he created called “Medicine.” Medicine is not just a tribute to his mom, but a special message to all those who are suffering with diseases.

J Ross Parrelli

J Ross Parrelli is the total package. When we received some music from this indie artist we were wow’d by her lyrics and passion.

She’s performed alongside KRS-One, Akil the MC (Jurassic 5), Supernatural, Talib Kweli. She’s also done studio projects with Sizzla and The Pharcyde. Her talents are known both in the US and internationally, so if you don’t know her, get familiar by listening to our interview with her.

P.S. She just dropped a dope mixtape by the name of Silent Soldiers. Dope.

Nikki Nikita

Encore Status found an artist in the Midwest whose vocal talent, lyrical skills, and all around potential had us searching the net for more about her. Nikki Nikita has a maturity that surpasses many mainstream artists in her age group. You would never know she just turned 21 by the subject matters she covers, delivery of lyrics, and the way she carries herself. Convinced she’s on the verge of becoming a top artist soon, we decided to catch a quick interview  (before she blows up). Listen to her interview and some of her tracks. We know you wont be disappointed.

M.EZ

We had the opportunity to interview M.ez. When we first received his music, we were taken aback by the depth of his lyrics and eclectic beat choices. To be honest…it wasn’t what we expected…but just what we needed.

After a long drought, please listen to our new featured artist M.ez.

Since our Tamar Kali interview we’ve been looking for another fresh new talent to talk about. WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE!!! After scouring most of Myspace and Reverbnation, sad and depressed…we gave up.

We finally put out a post looking for Good (I repeat, GOOD) music. We got many respondents, but we were totally blown away by this budding talent Jovanos. He shocked us….

Please listen to the interview he had with our affiliate Industry Net Worth Radio.

You can go to his website at www.Jovanos.com

Tamar Kali…her life…her music

Posted by Tricia Status On June - 15 - 2009

She struts on stage like a Brooklyn OG. The music unmistakably rock yet the vibe is strangely hip-hop. She dances to her music in a trance like state with a sensuality and sexiness that belies her punk rock image. Her music and her presence overwhelm the senses and intoxicate the mind. Her voice and swagger bring to mind the glory days of Grace Jones and Nona Hendrix. There is no one like Tamar Kali! …

We loved her so much we just had to interview her. Listen as ‘The People Have Spoken’ from Encore Status gets to talk to Tamar and step in the her life…mind…and her music
