Stoopid Swagg OG - Keep On Going

West Coast artist brings the swag with timely new single ‘Keep on Going’ 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Okye Glaze has a timely message for the world: Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.

The West Coast artist known as Stoopid Swagg OG is using his platform as a musician to inspire others during these dark times. His latest single, “Keep on Going,” is the perfect kind of motivational track that many people around the world need to hear today. A west Coast vibe combined with a Dirty South feel born from his roots in Memphis, Tennessee… the single showcases Stoopid Swagg’s signature style while offering up new perspectives on life. 

“The whole point of the song is to keep on going,” he said. “Don’t stop. Never quit. I never stop. I’m super-charged and equipped. I want to reach infinity – everlasting, forever, no ending. Throughout the good and the bad, no matter what happens in your day-to-day life – even if something doesn’t go right – just don’t stop. Keep on going. No matter the situation, you keep pushing and keep moving forward.” 

The upbeat anthemic single is the latest from this artist who has been bringing hit singles for the past decade. With “Keep on Going,” Stoopid Swagg brings another statement piece with high quality sound and an adept ability to spit bars. He considers his artistic style to be in rare form and hard to explain because it doesn’t sound like anyone else in the game today.  

“I have my own unique sound and presentation,” he said. “When you hear my music, I tell stories in my songs – like I make movies happen with words. The message I bring and my wordplay is what ultimately sets me apart. The way I do music and tell a story is what makes people feel like they’re there. I just want it to be epic – from the lyrics to how I present myself, to the sound, to the message, and everything else. I want it to be known for every possible thing it can be known for, which ultimately is greatness.” 

Stoopid Swagg has been making music since 2008, when he first started writing songs with his cousin during their teenage years. His first song, “Outside, Rimmed Up,” made a bigger splash in his community than he thought it would, and the response gave him the energy and determination to keep going. By 2018, he was making hits and had moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music full-time. In 2015, he dropped the single “Real Niggas Fuck With Me,” featuring Bricksquad Monopoly, and the single went on to make a major splash across the U.S. Since then, he’s performed in Atlanta multiple times, got mixtape placements with mainstream DJs, and signed an indie deal in Atlanta and worked with a sports and entertainment firm in Hollywood. 

Along the way, he’s polished his brand Stoopid Swagg, which he said is meant to evoke an image of someone who is always stylish and clean-cut.  

“When you see me, you know I’m about to handle my business,” he said. “I’m crisp, fresh and fly. I want my swag done. I’m gonna present that swag. It’s always gonna be raw.” 

In addition to “Keep on Going,” Stoopid Swagg is planning to drop two new singles called “Baby, I Be Fresh” and “Hold Up,” both of which should be released before the end of the year.

BFunkN - King James

 

Funk master BFunkN drops upbeat anthem with new single ‘King James’

LOS ANGELES, CA – Like everyone else around the world facing the hardships of 2020, the National Basketball Association limped its way toward a championship. Its star player, LeBron James, also limped his way to a national championship – literally. In fact, at one point in the year when he got hurt, many critics of the game started counting him out. He already bore a label as a player who crumbled under the high pressure of the NBA finals. And now with an injury, it seemed inevitable that his team, the LA Lakers, would struggle and fall. But Lebron shut the mouths of those critics and led his team to victory. It was an impressive performance from one of the best players of all time, and that energy is something that people all over the world are wanting to tap into.

West Coast artist BFunkN has captured a little bit of that energy with his latest single “King James (No Shame in My Game).” Inspired by LeBron’s season last year, the song talks about how he heard everything everyone was saying about him and used it as fuel for his drive to win. The song has major swag and an upbeat energy that serves perfectly as an anthem for anyone else in the world who has a goal in mind and needs a little motivational push to get going. It’s also a song laced with Funk – something BFunkN has become known for over the course of his career.  

Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio – raised in the Walnut Hills neighborhood that is known for its Funk music – BFunkN started his own band at a young age. They had the opportunity to work with Joe Tex for a while before moving out to California and expanding on their success. In the years since, BFunkN has dropped singles and worked both as an actor and producer on Hollywood films, and has developed a reputation as someone who can drop some serious Bass on a track at the drop of a hat. 

“I bring that Ohio Funk that mixes with Hip Hop and R&B,” he said. “Not too many people out there today can pull that off. You can hear the Funk, but you can also hear the Hip Hop flavor. But more than anything, I’m known for my Funky Bass. That goes way back to when I first started getting serious with music and I played the Bass for people and they told me I’d be funking with the Bass. That’s how I got my name, and it stuck after I started doing a lot of underground Hip Hop stuff. I became known as the guy who could drop straight beats with a hard bassline, and I’ve just reinforced that over time.” 

Today, BFunkN is known as a 3D artist who uses all three dimensions of Hip Hop, R&B and Funk equally well. It shows on “King James” and it will continue to shine on his follow-up single “Say It Loud,” a remix of the popular James Brown song that is slated to drop in February as a tribute to Black History Month.
