Focused, testifying of the artist’s personal work drive, has been advocating up for change and deeper engagement in the rap scene since 1999. A smooth, but surprising and motivating sound that questions issues of relevance in today’s political and social climate, Focused’s unique approach to 90s rap and low fi infused with jazz, has always stayed current and in constant evolution through each new project. “The rapper, in a way, is like the street reporter”. Songwriter, vocalist and producer, the goal has always been to stay focused on the music, and how its vibrations can take you out of the five-sense world we live in.

In his latest project, ‘Bad Meat Lp’, Focused wanted to test his darker side and flirt with certain issues, therefore geared the album towards more personal moments of his life. “The meaning is mostly self expression, questioning authority, being yourself, taking risks in life and following your passion and gut feeling”.

‘Cool Cats’ is the second release from ‘Bad Meat Lp’. Upbeat, with its jazz attitude and catchy hook, Focused is responding to online critics of his art. “Cool Cats, Sit back relax, study your ancestors listen to the past”. ‘Cool Cats’ is about taking it easy and looking at what has already been done before, combating critics and to never take yourself so seriously as an artist. For the most part, Focused does everything himself: producing, rapping, writing, but also shooting his own videos and editing them. The stop motion video was done with $0 budget and shows off his raw talent as a videographer and editor. In the video, the little green alien guy is looking through archives and studying Focused performances and songs, the chill king from art school, who knows his stuff and keeps it weird.

For most of us who have little knowledge about “Blockchain” we refer to it as “Crypto” or meme token phenomenon celebrating Shiba Doggie Emojis and promising investors huge returns for taking a chance with their hard earned money “investments”. Those of us who are informed are far too familiar with the latest “Crypto” Scams and Ponzi Schemes such as the FTX meltdown, Do Kwan & Lunar and the ongoing SEC x Ripple Lawsuit which has brought a once thriving market to it’s knees.

MikeDaGreatt & Super Producer/Record Mogul “E. Smitty” are doing something a little different. The Harlem raised native & the CEO of Sound Alive Records are creating new ways for Artists to add revenue streams by minting “NFT’s” that live on the “Blockchain” in addition to traditional forms of music distribution. An “NFT” or Non Fungible Token can have the value of a “T-Shirt” or merchandise or it can be soo much more. Proof of ownership, Exclusive Rights & a new digital way to represent a physical or digital Asset.

MikeDaGreatt recently dropped “Sleep On It” with Production by E. Smitty & along with Distributing through Sound Alive Records, Mike & Smitty have decided to mint NFT’s on 2 different Blockchains $XRPL & $BSV. For starters they will be minting limited edition NFT’s which will create an immediate new way for the two to get paid for their intellectual property without having to pay the middleman. Blockchains are infinite and any number of NFT’s can be minted. The most amazing part is as a blockchain token such as $XRP or $BSV gains value, so does the NFT’s that are created on their respective blockchains, giving artists ways to grow and increase the value of their art and contribution to the culture. Checkout “Sleep On It” by MikeDaGreat (Prod. By E. Smitty) now on @youtube and be on the lookout for NFT’s coming this month.
