Almost Forgot EP is D.Bridges Set Up For Something Special

D.Bridges has been an artists that took his pain music to the next level. Not only has he put out music to help heal the inner person by exposing what is in the their soul. He has created a mantra of letting pain out to let healing happen through words, beats and story telling music. The Almost Forgot EP sets up the listener for something special to come .This project will leave you wanting more to heal with and something to run to when the need for music comes from the soul.

Coming off of a Heritage Hip-Hop project nomination with his project No More Losses, and his duo project with Ru-Son, Day One's, D.Bridges puts the listener back into the mode of hunger rhymes and aggressive beats. The highs on this project comes from the soul altering rhymes in his continued series Brenda's Gotta Baby Part 3, and from guest MC Montega Fuzh on Hustle. The low from this project maybe it's defining point that this is a appetizer for something bigger to come. The short listen is intriguing and will ask you if you can relate to the story, the rhymes, and what it takes to open your soul to people that may never meet you but offer them your heart and soul.

Almost Forgot EP is the teaser that Hip-Hop may need because in a world where bars are seen as secondary, the story and context of who we are listening to. "This life I lead, you could never survive a day. Cause I been through it all and had to find a way..." Lyrics that come from the pain of life and the victory of never giving into the pain.

Mike Tyson said if he could talk to his younger self he tell himself about the pain of life. People do their damned best ot never feel or experience pain but it finds itself in our lives as a broken heart, economic set backs, loss of friends or loved ones we cherish. Sometimes it turns up as we are in trouble we put ourselves into due to irrational thinking or how the cards are dealt to us in this life we live. The Almost Forget EP may give you some insight to not only being the person in pain but what life can do to you because of not dealing with pain as well. Listen to it for yourself and tell me, "When Forgot About Dre Part 2 drops will you be late to the life lessons given on that project?" A wise man would not dare to miss an opportunity to not be in pain. Even though life is full of pain, we can have outlets that lift the pain away in some measure and good music is the medicine that can cure a broken heart and a begin to heal a broken spirit. Pain is love and music is the expression of it. Do not miss this project and look forward to more music from D.Bridges that can heal the pain in life through your ears and into your conscious as a guide.

Teddy Bear Jerz Bears His Soul To The World

The artists that make great impact on their chosen craft are the ones that go beyond the visual and the apparent, to make themselves known. They want the crowd to feel who they are not just to hear or see themselves in what they do. An artist that is passionate about their work not only puts their best into it but they want the people who experience their work to walk with them through the journey of expression that they have laid out. Teddy Bear Jerz did just that at this Birthday/Album Party and he let the world into his little secret. The secret that he shared was that not only is he and artist but his soul comes with a promise of life as well.

People were treated to a DJ, food, hookah, drinks and beauty in the crowd. Anticipation was building for the star to arrive. People mingled and were anxious for what and who was to arrive and the crowd was given a treat that we all take for granted. We were able to see, feel , and hear music that was meant not only for your ears but for your soul to intake and grow from. Nassor Nuru of The Late Night Flight Podcast served as the MC for this occasion and set the tone for going for goals people may not see and appreciating the moment. He took the moment to set the stage for the event and then the magic started.

The night was treated to a live band called Blaq Rose and they laid out the mood for the night. Teddy Bear Jerz came out with singer Angel Blu and we got to hear smooth singing with lyrics of love and strength we the crowd fell into a trance at the moment when Jerz dropped his husky words of hope and Angel Blu sang the words of love and connection. The night did not stop with feelings of appreciation and love it elevated with Nato Musik taking the stage and giving his voice to the ears of the people in reach as they heard the melody of truth come from artists that wanted to give the world their truth and its' realness from the soul and spirit to their senses.

Jerz brought the crowd back to reality when he brought Suave' to the stage to hit some of his "ratchet music". But the night was not defined by Jerz and his guests. The night was served a helping of testimony when Jerz performed his lead single and hit "Order My Steps". When This song came on this was when the master showed up and the crowd had to sit at his feet to hear the message take form. See the night was a celebration and God was given his due when the music stopped and the spirit started.

Most artists are known for how we hear what they say but Jerz wanted us to feel what he was given by God and through patience and perseverance. Order My Steps is the song that opens Teddy Bear Jerz's album and takes you on his audio story of growth and his stance on life and claiming his spot in the book of life. His album Bear With Me speaks on many fronts. Bear with him as he grows before our eyes and ears. Bear with him as he gains an understanding of himself and his skill set. Also bear with him as he gives the world his growing vision and we see his hopes and dreams come true as we nod our heads and dance to its' approval.

Teddy Bear Jerz's album Bear With Me is out now on all streaming media and we present the live performances from Heritage Hip-Hop on YouTube.

Born I - How Many Times | Video

“How Many Times” is the latest visual release from Born I, following the successful release of his single and video “In This Moment”.

“How Many Times” is an visual meditation on the cycle of rebirth and reincarnation. Using color and emotion to tell his story, the video features Born I moving through life and death, crossing into the afterlife with the grim reaper, meditating with deities and rapping in a Buddhist temple. The video also features Born’s wife Ayanna and their daughter Sati, helping Born navigate between worlds. The song, produced by DaRC, provides a haunted, bass heavy soundtrack to the rich visuals, beautifully shot by Jeff Ray and directed by Roy Leschiner.

Some words from Born I: "I’ve been thinking a lot about death and rebirth and this song is a reflection of that. But I’ve also been thinking about how death and rebirth happen within this very life. How many times am I going to make the same mistakes, how many times am I going to fall down and get back up, how many times have I’ve been held up and supported by my family and friends? It’s really a reflection on how life, death and rebirth can happen right now and also what it might mean to die and be born again inwardly and outwardly."
