Bloody Waters: The Genesis of Gail Campbell

Updated: Apr 6, 2019


March 30, 2019


Tonight the world was introduced to the beginning of a new era of sound. Bloody Waters release party came and went making the world a more soulful and forgiving place. The world knows many people that can sing, but not too many people know of Gail Campbell. Tonight the world was introduced to Gail Campbell and a renewal of faith in music started to grow when music from her Debut album, Bloody Waters, started to play. The crowd swayed back and forth with joy in their hearts. Young women praised danced to the music giving God worship and praise for the creation of music that was delivered by Stan Ipkiss and Gail Campbell. The hood came out to celebrate and the listeners were given a reason to believe that real music still exist. I call this the Genesis because in the book of Genesis God began the world giving people the commandment to take control of the world and make it our own. Gail Campbell is taking the world ear by ear, soul by soul and giving them a renewed understanding of music coming from the soul, not a program director or someone telling you how to think, sound, or feel. When Gail danced with her mother to the classic track Overdose and brought out Tha Savior to rhyme over the gritty 70s dance track the crowd was moved by the soul and spirit that moved through out the room.


This night was a celebration not only for Gail Campbell to release her voice and emotion on music. This is the night that real music came back to the forefront and people were treated to not only the depth of emotions that came from Gail's inner self. We were all treated to her pain, her joy, her growth, and the genesis of her new life as healer through musical expression. If you crave good music go buy and stream Bloody Waters and contact Gail Campbell and tell her what that album has done for you. For 1 night in Montclair, NJ it made the world still and gave us a reason to rejoice at God's Plan for 1 soul.

Stan Ipkiss is the Ear and Vision of Life's Score and Soundtrack.



Once in a lifetime does an artist find a producer that can challenge them to be great. Once in a lifetime do we find a genius in their craft that challenges the world we know to expand and grow due to our lack of experience in something we love. Very few people like that come our way and we awe at their creative ability to capture our souls with their artistry of life. Maybe it's the way Mike or Kobe played ball that made people want to go to the extreme to take over a sport. Maybe the artistry for expression is what made Odell Beckham Jr. capture the hearts of so many young football stars to never hide their love of personality. Maybe it is the way Prince or Michael Jackson moved the world with soulful music that opened up the possibility to people that music was for more than our ears, it is also for the soul. Maybe it is Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Pete Rock and so many other producers in the Hip-Hop culture that taught us how to make music from sound that inspired us to move our feet and the crowd over drum patterns and loops that caused us to make our own sound for the world to hear. Yet, who had the scope to not only make new sounds and beats but to create a world with their music?


Welcome to the reality and art of Stan Ipkiss the founder of Headphone Therapy. After producing for other artists, Mr. Ipkiss has put out his own instrumental album that is more than a Hip-Hop beat album it is music for the soul not just for the inner city culture of Hip-Hop. In this world we have what so many producers in today's music lack, harmony and the ability to score and compose. In music today we have beats that are dry and lack artistry. The beats of today's music is just sounds with no soul or harmony in it. A lot of today's producers are just putting vibes together and the mindless are bobbing their heads to a pattern. Stan Ipkiss has not only broken that chain but has composed a soundtrack to the emotion of music. There are beats for the Hip-Hop kid, the house music mind, and for the anime generation all here on his contribution to keeping real music alive. If you rap, sing, or love to listen to music as you go through your day this album has more than 1 selection for you to enjoy and listen to. 326 is an album that brings music lovers back to the love that they lost and will inspire the next generation of music composers and beat producers to not only step their games up. It will challenge them to create a world of music instead of catchy beats and hooks if they are paying attention to the delivery of the tracks and their names. Stan Ipkiss will be a name you will know for many years to come and by listening to this album you will thirst and hunger for more music to be delivered by. Maybe it is the the way Stan Ipkiss saves his best to inspire that will take music to its next level one beat at a time. Maybe it is your willingness to hear it that can bring the best out of you.

Not to Be Taken Lightly


Reinventing oneself is the call of making an artist truly great. A couple of month's ago the artist known as Ipkiss Jr. was putting his touch on underground New Jersey Hip-Hop by being a young spitter in a crew of lyrical tyrants. As he went on to find his niche and voice in the culture, he changed his name to Stan. He released his debut album Unplugged and with it there was a stand out track named Black Sheep. Black Sheep introduced Khalidatnight and stood out with Leaders of the New School type of energy and youthful excitement that helps make Hip-Hop great.


Fast forward to the here and now, Stan and Khalidatnight have dropped a project together titled, "Not to be Taken Lightly". This project is Khalidatnight's debut project and Stan's invitation to the world to know his evolution as MC and producer. This project is the continuation of seeing Hip-Hop evolve from lean sipping to being lyrical punch drunk as the ears are blessed with Boom Bap Hip-Hop with a new twist. Songs like Drill/Supreme (interlude) show how they are different MCs that compliment each other on different beats but on the same track. What's It Gone Be, is a track that is lyrical and takes you to a word play sparring match of spitters that fight for the right to own a track. This album proves that the new generation of Hip-Hoppers are not looking to lean, and lose the art of Hip-Hop. "Not to be Taken Lightly", is a project that shows these 2 artists have grown and still have more to do but the journey of watching and listening to them develop is the genius is looking to hear and see more from them.


Not to Be Taken Lightly is available on all music outlets. Buying or streaming this project is worth the time invested. NJ Hip-Hop is growing and the development of fine young talent is surely happening and it is a must for true Hip-Hop heads to support these young artist take control of their talents in their own time. Enjoy this project and thank us later.
