Southern soul meets Hip Hop with new single from M Jane

LITTLE ROCK, AR – What do you get when you mix a little bit of Soul, a little bit of Hip Hop, a little bit of a Southern drawl and a whole lot of sass? You get one of the hottest new female artists on the planet.

Look out world, here comes M Jane.

Hailing out of Little Rock, Arkansas, this fast-rising young talent is set to take the music industry by storm with her unique new sound and style. Her debut single, “IONO,” is already creating buzz throughout the Southeast and priming her for a whorl wind second half of the year as she drops more and more music.

The single shows off her naturally soulful voice which she’s honed over the years of singing Gospel in the church and exploring her sound at performances all over the country. It’s a song that talks about the anticipatory moments that come in that period right before you’ve attained success – the moments that are difficult to wait on.

“It talks about before I get on, I’m waiting to get on,” M Jane said. “I don’t know when it’s gonna happen but I know it’s gonna come. I might get a lot of haters behind it, but I’m gonna keep pushing and keep grinding while I’m waiting for that success.”

The up-tempo vibe is a perfect introduction to new fans of her one-of-a-kind style and is sure to have people bouncing as soon as they hear it. Like all of her music, “IONO” was written and produced all on her own. M Jane said she’s been honing her craft as a musician since she was about 7 years old, and for the past decade has worked hard to become a quality producer who can make her own beats and mix her own music. When she combines that with her true, natural gift as a singer, she becomes a singular talent within the world of Hip Hop.

“A lot of Hip Hop female singers aren’t true, raw singers,” said her manager Desmond Tappin. “They might know how to sing or have a decent tone but they have to rely on auto-tune to make it sound perfect. But M Jane has the whole background of singing and has a natural talent. Plus, she knows music – she knows notes and keys and theory. Put those things together and you get a different sound to Hip Hop than anything else out there. She has that true soul vibe that goes with the Hip Hop that creates a different sound for the listeners. More than anything else, she just creates really, really, really good music. Most people in Hip Hop right now and anyone who is a fan of that genre will hear her music and know immediately that it’s good. She’s not a one-hit wonder who will be gone in a couple of years. She’s the real thing and this is just the beginning.”

DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet and France-based producer Nemizzo are MSP, presenting their new single “Big Hands”. Sallet has been busy showcasing his brand of East Coast braggadocious rap across a slew of recent singles like “Camouflage” (watch on Youtube), “I Get Money” (watch on Youtube), “Championship Ring” (watch on Youtube) and “Chinese Funk” (watch on Youtube) in preparation for the release of Plutography, Sallet’s forthcoming album which blends salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples, reflecting Sallet’s international upbringing across South Africa, Dominica and the US. Sallet is planning a series of full-length releases, among them C.R.E.A.M. which recounts his journey from broke to financially free, and Women and R.A.P. which describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry respectively. “This is the song that really started MSP Tunes,” Santa says. “Nemizzo had laid down his verse and I was like, let me try something on this and I just talked about what I knew. What I think is funny, the outro is actually me recording a bunch of potential beat tags. There was a miscommunication and Nemizzo extended the beat and made it the outro. I like it though lol.” Check out Santa Sallet merch here.
