I had a wonderful time getting to know more about Tango Beats (@tangobeats727). We've ran in the same circle for a few years now but I finally got a chance to meet and pick the brain of a very dope individual. His transition in the music game is what intrigued me. He went from being part of a group to being his own headliner with dreams to pursue. Those dreams eventually led to him guiding upcoming artists with a vision and als...

A few years ago I had the pleasure of hosting an Album Release Party for an Artist with a vision bigger than himself. The project was called "Black Lives Matter" and touched on all of the themes that we are still seeing play out. This was over 5 years ago and his message continues to ring true. In the years since the show, I've personally watched Chris Jackson (@bdpmagazine813) separate and elevate. He saw an opportunity to gui...

When it comes to the Tampa Bay music scene I've been blessed to see so many Artists ascend. It's crazy to think about how many years have passed since I met Fre$h P & Mike 2wice. But in that time I've seen them take over Tampa and build a buzz organically. Separately they're a problem. They're both dope in their own way. Together they're an unstoppable force and their chemistry is undeniable. I sat down and spoke with them ab...

Over the past few years I've personally watched Big Business (@bighlw) elevate his game to another level. I met him as a Hip-Hop Artist but he's since put on an amazing Web Series titled "What's Real Hip-Hop" that was vital in the progression of the music scene in Tampa Bay. He incorporated area artists into his film "20/20 Vision" and he followed that up with his "Transition Talks" platform which brings weekly messages to the ma...

I had another full circle moment with this edition of the ToneDefTestimonies. RayBudsky (@raybudsky1) and Shawn October (@shawnoctober) were the very 1st guests on Waves Of The Bay and it was only right to bring them back for the Testimonies. They just started a new music label and we had to dive into the reasonings behind it, how they intend to do it different and also the challenges of the level up. They dropped some jewels an...

Rahim Samad (@rahimsamad) is a perfect blend of Hip-Hop. On one hand he utilizes his ear to provide the backdrop for the moment as a DJ. On the other hand he can rock a microphone and command a crowd as a MC. I talked with him about the different mindsets going into each job and what, if any, he could live without. We also debuted two new tracks from his recent album which dropped 11/30: Nubian Tapestries.

B. Blaize (@blaize27) is a throwback when it comes to his music. He puts lyricism on display in a day and age where few can match his wordplay. I've personally watched him attack being a performing Hip-Hop Artist with the same aggressiveness he channeled back in his Battle Rap days. We talked about his new project and the importance of quality music. We also focused on the come up, how he built his buzz and the importance of br...
