Meet South Florida’s Own Hidden Gem S.Yvonne

Shalaine Powell grew up in Carver Ranches with the dreams of one day becoming an author. In 2012, the dream became a fruition when she wrote her first book Karma’s Destruction under the pseudonym, S.Yvonne. She self-published it in early 2015, with Outskirts Press. In 2016, she released her first series after signing with publisher David Weaver and the Bankroll Squad.

In 2019, S.Yvonne became an independent author with a growing catalogue of seventy plus books. She has constantly been ranked by Amazon as a best-selling urban fiction author and receiving their orange banner. That same year her publishing company, S.Yvonne Presents was relaunched.

S.Yvonne Presents is comprised of twenty-seven authors all under the urban fiction genre. She is a dedicated author and publisher and has definitely made a name for herself and her authors as well. S.Yvonne goes above and beyond for authors as well as providing them with the tools and knowledge to be successful and build their own brands.

S.Yvonne has been hosting a Miami Book Expo since 2019. The event brings readers, authors, publishers and vendors together in a fun atmosphere. She often participates in yearly book tours around the country to interact with even more readers and network with others in the industry. When she’s not busy handling S.Yvonne business she’s spending time with her family and just being Shalaine.

After having complications with his distribution company causing a delay of the release, DeShaunJay at last delivers his highly anticipated album Pinky’s Boy. Weighing in at a solid 16 tracks, the project saw no previous single releases as DeShaunJay gives fans the entire album in one drop.
Jay delivers solid rhymes throughout the entire album like “had nights straight shots off the crown/till I’m seeing double/trying to put up numbers like I’m Jimmy Buckets in the bubble” to raps like “on a cloud b*tch I’m levitated/translation the mind frame elevated/run a team like Steph or Brady/hit the beat like Canelo baby”. The clever lyricism is brought to listeners over production from Trevv, Leek OAM, D’Shaun, Epik The Dawn, Caleb Bryant, Falak, Nosalez, Donnie Katana, Damarcus VanBuren and Benji on the Boards.
One goal the 29 year old artist had was to show he could hold his own throughout an entire album. Pinky’s Boy definitely solidifies that goal as Jay takes on each beat with confidence and ease, flourishing from the first track to the last one with different flows and topics, thus keeping the listener engaged at all times. Now a days one may think that 16 songs is to long for an album, but you don’t realize how fast of a listen it really is when the album flows like water in a stream. All in all that is what DeShaunJay brings to the table with his latest release, dope rhymes mixed with dope beats creating the perfect feast for your ears to receive. Stream the magnificent Pinky’s Boy out now on all platforms.
