Aleckz Cee – It Would All Come True
Army veteran offers story to the world
with new single ‘It Would All Come True’
LOS ANGELES, CA – Aleckz Cee has a story to tell – one that travels all over the world and is filled with lessons learned from a childhood on the streets all the way through to adventures experienced while deployed as a member of the U.S. Army. And that story is coming to the forefront with his debut single “It Would All Come True.” It’s the first introduction to a longer story that will be told by the West Coast artist over the course of three or four full albums over the next few years. His long range plan for his music is one he’s thought long and hard about, and the work he’s put into crafting his unique sound and style is finally ready to pay off. This first single is his announcement to the world that he has a unique voice and story that can powerfully impact a lot of people.
Filled with nostalgic, old school hip hop vibes, “It Would All Come True” is a song that encourages listeners to keep pushing forward toward their dreams, even if things seem to get hard.
“If you have a goal in life, don’t just settle for anything because of what society is trying to tell you,” he said. “I could have been a manager at Walmart if I wanted to, but that wasn’t my dream. When I was in the Army, I realized I didn’t want to get to the end of my life and not do what I love, which is music. I’ve been working for a long time on my music and I hope it encourages people to realize that when you’re doing the right thing, even if it feels like everything isn’t paying off, just stick to it. Eventually, it’s about to come, and when it finally gets there, be ready to do something with it.”
Aleckz brings that inspiration through a sound and style that is one-of-a-kind. Described at times as a West Coast vibe with a flare of WuTang – almost a Baby Bash-meets-WuTang kind of sound – Aleckz definitely has the swagger that fans will enjoy. But unlike a lot of Latin hip hop artists, Aleckz avoids rapping about things like gangs or money and instead focuses on the joy of making art and helping people have a good time.
“This will be part of the first album which is where I’m beginning the story and telling people how I’m going to get there,” he said. “Once I get to the third or fourth album, it’ll be more of looking back at how I got there, and then how I’ve arrived. I’m building a story and taking people into my world. I know some people want to do music but are afraid of not looking the part or being put in a certain lane. I had those fears, and I want to encourage people through my music to stick with what they want to do as long as it’s moral. Don’t just follow the crowd and do what you think you’re supposed to do. Do what the right thing is.”

(Audio) J Lyles – Here I am @iamjlyles
J Lyles makes his return to the world of HipHop, and in a big way, with his new single titled “Here I am”. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new from the talented artist but we can officially say those days are over with this new single as Lyles continues to prep a new album that is slated to release this year. Being lyrically relatable has never been a problem for the New Jersey native, and that continues to be true with “Here I am”. Life sometimes takes a toll on us as humans, we all go through ups and downs mentally and physically but those who stay true to themselves while staying afloat through the rough times are the ones that seem to come out the smoke when those bad days disappear. In his own words Lyles describes the song by saying “I discuss various points of my life and the effects of incarceration, family trauma and struggles to get through college and life after college. This song is a testament of wins and losses, pain, and perseverance that led to this version of myself. “Here I Am”.” J Lyles is that exact person that comes out of the smoke battle scarred and tired but wiser and battle tested. He’s always ready to give it his all when those tough times roll back around with rhymes like “Made it to 27 I must be here for a reason/applying pressure smothering all you turkeys that’s under seasoned/they telling me to keep going/my music the voice of reason.” Staying ten toes down with the current version of himself is what the artist is striving for now a days, staying away from those who may not prove to be worthy of being within his circle. “I’m a legend to the game/but I never wanted fame/cause everybody knows your name and unfamiliar with your pain” spits Lyles at the beginning of the second verse, further cementing his true to self rhymes being provided by the man behind the mic. With his debut album titled The Execution still being perfected behind closed doors, J Lyles opens up one door to give new and older listeners a sample of what is to come until the timing is right for The Execution.

(Album) D’Shaun – CRWN @RylDShaun
Backed by only one single, “S’mores & Rumchata”, D’Shaun comes crash landing at #4 onto the iTunes top 40 HipHop album chart and right back into your music libraries with CRWN. The highly anticipated project lived up to expectations on the first day of its release as it also entered yet another chart on iTunes. CRWN peaked at #88 on the top 100 albums in all genres chart, sitting comfortably and confidently above Elton John’s Diamonds. This incredible accomplishment doesn’t happen without D’Shaun and the RYLTY crew’s hard work and dedication to creating an album packed with 12 playable and enjoyable records that each bring a different sound and vibe when stimulating your brain.
D’Shaun continues to put Converse, Texas, on the map as he showcases not only his talent but the talents found within his circle. From Austria to Detroit to Houston, he credits the artists around him for helping provide the “spacey yet quintessential HipHop but with a new school sort of feel” sound that he believes his latest body of work entails. This album not only incorporates HipHop but it also throws some dashes of rap, pop and R&B, adding some more seasoning to the recipe we already knew D’Shaun brought to the table. He’s dabbled in those genres before but with CRWN he brings them altogether in a cohesive manner, letting each live and grow with one another as they flow beautifully the more and more you run the project back. For him, CRWN is set to “change the whole landscape, the city and the state, the lives of each of these young men in RYLTY”. Those changes begin with track number one titled “Nonstop” which is fitting for the vibes that you continuously find yourself emerged in. Between track one and twelve you’ll find up tempo hits meant for the radio in “Chalice”, “Notice”, “S’mores & Rumchata” and “Alright”. You’ll also hear the artist slowing things down a bit with “4U”, “LoveSICK”, “Virgo Season Interlude” and “My Way”. Pure raps are expressed within the previously mentioned “Nonstop” along with “Gentlemen’s Club”, “Sprite Zero” and “Waver”. If there was a sound that D’Shaun didn’t think was fun or didn’t fit the wave he was gearing towards then it simply didn’t make the cut, the artist says that CRWN “is more fun and shows what wearing the crown is like” when comparing the project to its predecessor KNG.
Four years separate both albums and in between those four years we’ve heard how highly D’Shaun has spoken about the trio of albums he had been planning on releasing with all being companions to one another. With two down and one to go the one man band artist has been growing and maturing within his sound and will only continue to do so. He showcases that behind each verse, chorus, ad-lib, snare, kick or high hat he decides to incorporate into this world where creativity never ends. We can call this world “RYL” and here we’ll find the king at his throne wearing a crown meant for only him, exuding royalty the only way he knows how.
