Okay, so I'm a few days late on this...it's hard to catch everything, but this is something I definitely had to share! I'm very familiar with The Jake from his work with one of my North Carolina favorites, J.Gunn. Jacob Hirata was raised in a military family, whose travels introduced him to a variety of music genre's. What he noticed was music all shared one common element that stuck with The Jake, "Good music makes you feel something" and that's what the goal behind his music is...to make you "feel" something, whether good or bad, through his music.
Sonyae is an instant favorite to anyone that hears her. Still a newcomer to the scene, but she hasn't wasted any time showing what talent she has to offer to HipHop. Also laying bars on this track is Ohio emcee Jordan. "Hardcore" is the 1st single from The Jake's upcoming Mixtape titled "The Black Hibiscus Tape".

I'm new to the sounds of Teck-Zilla and had to do some research on where he came from and who he is. From what I found, he's a man of many talents...Producer, Engineer, DJ, Writer and Emcee born in Nigeria, based out of Montreal. He is a founding member of the HipHop group "Str8Buttah", who hail from the UK and Nigeria. Teck-Zilla's name popped up on my feeds this morning attached to one of the dopest female lyricists in the Triangle, Sonyae. "L.O.V.E." (Living Off Volatile Emotions) is laced with an up-tempo Isaac Hayes sampled beat and Sonyae's perfect deliverance of verses. "L.O.V.E." is featured on Teck-Zilla's compilation album titled "Audio Chemistry: 1st Period" scheduled for release sometime in 2014.

SpringHill and Kick-A-Verse have announced their 4th in a Series of incredible "Power Of The Tongue Showcases" to be held on March 6th, 2014, at Deep South Bar (430 South Dawson St. Raleigh, NC). This line-up includes Brooklyn, NY emcee Scienze, Raleigh favorite Drique London, Singer/Rapper Free Agent Jasun, Durham's St. Nickel, and newest emcee to the scene, Sonyae, that has already impressed the likes of Legendary Skaz Digga, Mike Nice (Big Daddy Kane's DJ & Manager), DeeJay Samps and Butta Team DJ's DJ ScottyRock & DJ BroRabb. Host for the evening will Angel Brown and K-Hill will be providing music for the event.
How did the "Power Of The Tongue" showcases come about? Emcee Azon Blaze & Producer/Emcee K-Hill sat down and had a conversation about what's missing from the local scene as far as not enough QUALITY showcases and too many of the same showcases. K-Hill had just released his "Achilles' Hill EP" which was packed with his verbal sharpness that emulated how the "power of the tongue" can influence both music and life. A series of quality showcases that give real emcees an outlet to share their talent with existing and new fans.
