Atlanta has produced a number of great artists and she’s no where near finished. Daryl Saen Richards is a rapper ready to raise the bar in Hip Hop. Saen, being an acronym for “Survive and End naturally”, was born and raised in this diverse city and has seen more negativity than he had hoped to. By the age of 13 he began to write poems which eventually turned into rhymes. Growing up on artists such as KRS-1, Nas and the legendary Tupac Shakur, Saen’s skills were being sharpened with every beat. While in school, one of his teachers took notice and asked to hear more from the young MC. The teacher was so impressed with Saen’s delivery he arranged for him to go into a recording studio for the first time. He recorded his first song titled “I Don’t Feel That God Owes Me” and he hasn’t looked back since. He jumped at every chance to record and began performing at local talent shows to perfect his craft. Saen’s music has even taken him overseas to the Philippines where he had an experience like no other. The culture is very different but it’s amazing how their love for Hip Hop is parallel to ours. With his undeniable Page 3

talent, knowledge of the business and faithful fans, his career is limitless. No matter if he has pennies or millions, Saen will continue to create the music he believes in.

His budding music career started while attending The University of Hartford in Connecticut.

Performing with his first band, Royal Ink, he impressed the Hartford college community very quickly; generating a fan base that would later book him copious gigs throughout the city of

Hartford, New York and his hometown Harrisburg, PA., his experimental sound was creating a buzz. 2003 marked the release of his debut album Saturn’s Moon presents…Janus. This project made his music tangible, reaching ears beyond his campus. Performances including; University of Connecticut’s Spring Fling Showcases, Connecticut’s Hip Hop Summit, B.E.R.T.T. Family Presents…Expect The Unexpected, Black Unity Showcases, appearances for Muscular Dystrophy Benefits, performances at Soul Café and The Sugar Bar in NYC, The Millennium Music Conference and the Levitt Pavilion in Harrisburg, PA proving his legit musical aesthetic skills. .

Music is his livelihood; raison d’être. With a foundation solid in his church, Kendrick started his singing career as a member of Voices of Unity in Steelton, PA. With a voice that most would agree came natural; Kendrick nurtured the encouragement and birthed a new sound, unlike what’s being classified as neo-soul today. His music is the story accounting the process from being the son of an amazing singer to an established artist that composes, writes and arranges music.

Now available on cdbaby.com is his much anticipated project "Galaxy: A Memoir". Since its release in October 2010, Galaxy has been received with open arms by his fans and the media. He has been a feature on 'The Briggs Report' on Jota FM radio, Supreme Entertainment's online radio Artist Spotlight, Mami Magazine, Beenreal.com's 'Thorough Thursdays', Vigor online, Neo2Soul Promotions UK, and Kitchensofa.com. He also has been recognized as the epitome of the genre Psychedelic soul by urbandictionary.com. His music has been spun on multiple radio stations to include 92.5 KYHY FM, BBS Radio, and Smooth Jazz Beach radio in California; WDEP radio, MN; Old Grumpy Network, TX; WNYU Radio, NY; Slamin Fat Beatz radio, OR; Punto Radio Bologna, IT; Star point Radio, Rhymes and Baselines/ Hot 96.3, The Hurst Selection/ 91.9 FM WCLK, and Radio Meltdown / ALLFM 96.9 in the UK. He is currently on a promotional tour of the U.S. bringing psychedelic soul to a city near you! In his words…”The soulful movement contained in my music and lyrics are filled with over nine years of life's lessons, love, and most of all hope.”

I had the opportunity to interview Flawless from Brooklyn, NY this lady on a mission; she is positive, bright and has a great personality. Her new single “I’m in my cup “deals with her as a woman, about her business going out to chill letting the brothers know she is perfectly self-assured. In our interview Flawless spoke about her grind as a female artist the industry. She said, “I want to be an example for women”. Flawless knows it is very difficult in a male dominated field but she carries herself like a “Queen earning her respect in the Industry.

Flawless released a second track giving props to women and taking it back to the old school’s model. You can find Flawless in the clubs in Brooklyn, her mix tape, YouTube and on Sound Click.

Portland Oregon is located in the Pacific Northwest in between California and Seattle, Washington. Many people don’t a realize Oregon is part of the west coast. It’s funny that so many people will visit California but not the Northwest. It does rain a lot, however; we get more sun than Seattle, Washington. When spring and summer arrives to this multi -cultural state it is like paradise. When I moved to the Pacific Northwest I found myself very depressed because it was a complete culture shock! One rainy afternoon I was shopping at a furniture store, I asked the gentleman who was assisting me, “Does it rain all the time”? He chuckled and said, I’ll tell you If you can stand the winters, the spring and summers here are breath taking”! He was right so here I am nineteen years later. It has been said over and over again that Oregon and Washington State are the best secrets for its diversity, socialism beauty, economic stability, night life, events, food and micro brews. Every summer by the water front Portland, host the “Blues Festival.” People come from all over to listen to local blues artist, as well as big name artist from coast to coast. A lot of proceeds go to local food banks and charities so you see we are a city, a State that takes care of its own. The event is covered by mass media covering the artist as well as attendees having fun under the Sun.

Kit Grv, born Dionel Ketchens has had his share of hard knocks. Born and raised in Victoria, Texas with his great aunt and uncle until age eleven. One day his biological mother showed up and it was off to the projects inLong Beach, California. Kit found this to be a whole new world from Victoria, the stability he had with his aunt and uncle was no longer there. Kit’s next stop was the projects in Kansas City, Missouri where everything seemed to be nothing short of insanity.

From there Kit found himself in the projects of Denver, Colorado. After five years of living with his mother and going through so much havoc kit ran away from home. Most kids would have turned to crime but Kit turned to music as his salvation.

After five years of tribulation the artist/producer was born.

He is now the owner of Facelift Media Productions and Dream Life Studios. 2011 marks fourteen years in the

Most artist are not aware of what goes on in the industry, it is nice to get airplay but what next? I have seen artist time after time pay for huge campaigns and receive nothing. There are many who claim to help, however; their motives are only to make money off of you, notice I said make money off of you, and not provide you with quality service. When you take your car in for repair you have an idea of what is going but you still ask questions. Any time you hire or contract anyone to handle your career, asks questions like how much experience do you have? How will I be able tack my progress? And what are the measures of the work you’re doing for me. If the consultant cannot give you an intelligent answer, move on Indie! Do your research time is money and money is time. You don’t have time waste on something that doesn’t benefit you. It is wise to get help promoting your project but beware!
