Punk Rap gets international audiences hyped up on new single ‘Slipknot’
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA – An alternative form of Hip Hop called Punk Rap is coming out of Australia from young artist Gore Hear$e. This 18-year-old musician has long been a fan of Aggressive Rock – with inspirations from bands like $uicideboy$ and Nascar Aloe – and has mixed that with a more pure Hip Hop sound that consists of raw 808s. Also thrown into the blender of his signature style are melodies and loud, distorted vocals for something that brings forth a lot of energy and is the perfect kind of music to mosh to.
That sound takes center stage on Gore’s new single, “Slipknot.” Currently available across all streaming platforms, “Slipknot” is an alternative kind of vibe that deals with the struggles of depression. With his loud, distorted vocals, Gore brings a raw energy that’s very aggressive and fits on the fringes of Punk Rock.
“That’s my whole style,” he said. “I take what I listen to with Rap and put my own influences into it with Funk music to create a whole new style that I call Punk Rap. It started a few years ago when me and my brother were making EDM and House music you could dance to. But I wasn’t as interested with that as I was with Rap. My sound progressed away from that the more I got into music. It started leaning toward a more mainstream Rap sound before I found the underground side of it, and I started changing my style over the last year to where I’m doing more screaming. The way I make my beats is very unique. I like to sample audio clips from all different kinds of stuff and mix it in. And I’m always bringing fast BPMs that fit my Australian accent as a rapper.”
Born in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, Gore moved to Australia with his family when he was only 5. He and his brother were into music for most of their lives, though it has only been within the past couple of years that they’ve started to take it seriously. Though Gore wants to be recognized as an artist with natural talent, at the end of the day, he really just wants to create music that people will enjoy and get hyped up by.
“I’m not somebody who needs to be taken really seriously all the time,” he said. “I’m not trying to portray any specific message or anything. I make music because I love it, and I hope other people love it, as well. I like to get a crowd hyped up. It’s not that I don’t want to be taken seriously as an artist, but I’m not someone who writes music with overly deep messages. I make music that gives people a good time. I know my music is good and I want to get it out there.”

15-year-old rapper Malico wows the world with raw talent
LOS ANGELES, CA – The future of Hip Hop is something often debated, but there’s no doubt about the raw genius of 15-year-old Malico. The natural talent of this young up-and-coming artist is the kind of once-in-a-generation phenomenon that meets the attention of fans all over the world. And Malico has been doing that for the past five years, since he started entertaining fans with his unique style of Pop-Infused-Hip-Hop.
Being at the right place at the right time, Malico is on the radar of nearly every industry insider there is such as Kanye, Young Thug, Lil Duke, Trippie Redd, MGK, Lil Pump, Lil Keed, Calboy, Holiday, Lil Durk, Bump J, and Benny the Butcher, to name a few. To say he’s poised to make a major splash in the industry is an understatement, and his latest single “Distractions” could be the very thing that pushes him over the top.
Currently available across all streaming platforms, “Distractions” is a song that captures a chill vibe while sharing with the world an emotional pain that is beyond his years. It’s a song about trying to make a name for himself while dealing with the distractions that come with the life of an American teenager.
“When you’re working, you’ve got a lot of distractions,” he said. “Friends and influences and all different things can push you out of the way to what you need to be doing. This song is based around that. It’s a pain song that really makes you think.”
Originally hailing from Chicago, Malico recently moved with his mother to Los Angeles to pursue entertainment full-time. He’s been making music since age 9 and said he got his start randomly while freestyling with his brothers and friends one day. His father passed away that year and shortly after that, he lost a brother. He coped with those losses by putting pen to paper and started writing his own songs. He hasn’t looked back since.
“I don’t want to be looked at as a regular kid or average kid from Chicago,” he said. “I have a very proper demeanor. I’m all about positive energy. I want to encourage other youth and people in general to really be you and stay optimistic and hardworking. I want to be known for making great music and for impacting the youth in communities all over the world. I’d love to have a lot of awards and accolades but only because I want to be recognized for my art, and because it will mean that I’ll have a long career. But at the end of the day, I definitely want my music to be about bringing happiness and making people connected to my music so that it lives on forever.”
Malico said that over the next month or two, he is planning to drop 2 songs, “Chosen“and “Tik Tok “. He also said he credits a lot of his success to producers Osiris and Slime Castro who served as collaborators on “Distractions” and “Chosen,” respectively.

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.

Check’a Fred caps of career-defining year with hit album ‘Check Mate!’
LYNWOOD, IL – Multifaceted Illinois artist Fredrick Wilson III, AKA Check’a Fred, is a rapper, songwriter, producer and businessman whose unique sound and style have drawn attention from fans all over the U.S. for many years. His latest album, “Check Mate!,” is the kind of career-defining project that is sure to set him up to become a global player within Hip Hop. Featuring a “whole bunch of turn up songs,” the album showcases Check’a Fred’s aggressive lyricism and ability to fuse different genres from R&B to Hip Hop and everything in between.
The first single from the project is a song called “Got Damn!.” The fast-paced track displays Check’a Fred’s ability to create great bars while also showing off his one-of-a-kind flow. It’s a fun club banger that he said people will definitely want to hear when they’re at a party.
He’s following that up with a second single from the project called “Who Wants a Smoke?” Still upbeat but with a slower pace than “Got Damn!, this track gets more introspective as it explores his aggressive side and his defensive nature when someone is trying to come at him.
The album isn’t all in-your-face upbeat jams. There are also tracks for the ladies such as “Itty Bitty!,” which Check’a Fred said is a fun club twerking song for all the women of the world.
“When you listen to this album you’ll see a whole other side of me being realistic,” Check’a Fred said. “There are songs with real life issues in there like mental health. People will see a rapper and see the hype – and there are plenty of those songs on this album – but there’s a whole other side to me as an artist that you’ll find as well. I want to put all my emotions and everything I feel in the moment into the music. I’m trying to use familiar instrumentals and beats and pair them with some great stories.”
Music has always been a passion for Check’a Fred. His father was a pastor and musician and his aunt is the notorious Gospel singer Anita Wilson. He learned how to play the piano and drums, and by his teenage years, he was already writing his own songs and creating his own beats. In 2017, he dropped his first mixtape and has been honing his craft ever since. This year has been a great year for him as an artist. In February, he started his first entertainment company, Rawthenic Entertainment, and he has taken some major steps forward in his music career. He released the single “I.D.G.A.F.” in the summer of 2020 which attracted quite a bit of attention from industry insiders. And now with his album “Check Mate!,” Check’a Fred is set to propel himself onto the global stage.
“I want my music to be known as something people can go to and hear and get away,” he said. “When I listen to music, I want to get away from the real world. It creates a vibe in my mind. I like to know what that person is going through, and if it relates to me, I want to know how they got through it and understand that and put it into my own situation. That’s what I hope my music does for others. I hope people can look at me as an example of a person who does what he wants to do and just keeps going, knowing that everything will fall in place.”

Justin Nealy cooks up a hot pot of chili with new single, just in time for winter
RALEIGH, NC – If you’re like most other music lovers in the world, when you see a song titled “Hot Pot of Chilly,” there’s something inside you that must hear what it sounds like. Next thing you know you’re listening to it and the fun new single from East Coast artist Nealy has you hooked. It’s catchy with a great Rap vibe, with lyrics that pull you in and invite you to just have a good time. Like the hook says, Nealy is coming through hot like chili in the pot, chillin on a hot new stove.
“It has some real stuff in it, but it’s just a good-time song,” Nealy said of his new single. “It’s different than anything out there but mostly, it’s just a fun song.”
A video for the single is also available on Nealy’s YouTube channel. It was shot at a restaurant in Durham, North Carolina in which Nealy used to work as a bartender. The video features multiple shots of Nealy in the kitchen, cooking up a hot pot of chili while also showcasing a part of his hometown.
Nealy began his journey as an artist at age 18. He said he was inspired by his friends, who were also talented rappers. They encouraged him to write his own songs and after a while, he realized he had enough natural talent to pursue music as a career. As he developed his sound, he studied multiple genres of music and never really settled on one specific artist as a muse of major influence. It’s the music itself that motivates him, and that electric taste has helped him create a signature style that is equal parts original and familiar.
“A lot of times, I don’t even know who sings a song when I hear it. I just know I like it,” Nealy said. “I always look to the actual music and not who’s popular. Music influences me more than the actual artist, and that’s what I try to create with my own sound, as well. I have some funny stuff, but not corny – more subtle humor. I also have things that are deep and people can relate to. Since I started, I’ve matured as an artist and everything I’m doing now is more of intentionality. My music is consistent. Some of the beats I’m working with today are different, but I’m still the same person writing. But a lot of people don’t realize I went through a lot to get here. I’ve been pushing myself and I’ve sacrificed a lot of things to get to where I am. I took a leap over a river instead of building a bridge because I wanted to go for it all. It’s starting to come back and pay off, and I’m excited for people to hear the new music I have now.”
Nealy’s music is available across all streaming platforms. His next release will be a single called “317965” which is slated to drop in January.
