Linking with producer “Snagz”(Jadakiss, Swizz Beatz) the duo had just the recipe.

Clay Perry is a 28-year-old emcee out of Arlington, Texas with a story to tell. It is clear that Perry has been through a lot and that is on full display with “I Can’t Help Ya” where the rappers narrative comes across as numb to the challenges of life. This numbness results in a jaded approach to handing out passes for others as the hook recites the famous Nelly line “Now same mother fuckers asking me for dough, and I’m yelling I can’t help ya” Perry deals with betrayal issues but rather than sulk about it he uses it as motivation to stunt on the ones that weren’t loyal to him. This record is good for anyone who shares a similar sentiment to Clay Perry, but it’s also a good record for the average rap fan that appreciates well-written raps, quality song structure, and a catchy hook. Check out Clay Perry “I Can’t Help Ya” below and look out for more coming soon.

A lot is bubbling out of Brooklyn in 2018 but it seems like the new guys are chasing a sound that isn't indigenous to the borough. This is where Young Melo comes in, a Brooklyn rapper that sounds like Brooklyn. "They Love Me" is a perfect example of how rappers can stick to the roots of their culture while staying modernized, but also not having to compromise the sound. It is a tough balance to find but the 22-year-old has it down. This effort is of course made easier by Dipsets own Juelz Santana and Sen City who both also do a good job of finding that balance and remaining authentic. For those that think Young Melo just got lucky and caught one with "They Love Me" they need to check out "Effen" by Tony Yayo where Melo is featured and steals the show. Check out "They Love Me" below and get back into that New York state of mind.

Owners Illustrated Magazine & Toyz Electronics, LLC Collaborate to Bring VR, Coding & STEM Outreach to the Washington Auto Show
Students from Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School in DC to participate in a coding and VR technology experience at the Washington Auto Show hosted by Owners Illustrated magazine and Toyz Electronics founders.
Washington, DC - Owners Illustrated magazine, a leading urban entrepreneurial lifestyle publication, and Toyz Electronics, LLC, a Carnegie Mellon University startup, will partner to bring an engaging coding and creative technology training for DC Public School students to the Washington Auto Show on January 25th, 2018.
Damola Idowu and son Wole Idowu, a native of Washington, DC, believe that the future of technology is in the hands of DC Public School students today. Of his approach, Damola Idowu states, “Many jobs in the auto industry require coding. Early exposure will be critical to training the workforce of the future. I’m thrilled to be bringing this to the Washington Auto Show.”
“STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is critically important to the future of our country, not to mention the automotive industry,” said Washington Auto Show President and CEO John O’Donnell. “We are excited to host this initiative at The Washington Auto Show.”
Damola, a Washington Automotive Press Association (WAPA) member, has now partnered with the Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School in DC to empower DC students to get into technology fields and become part of the auto industry in the future. Of the collaboration, Amy Quinn, Director of Teaching and Learning at the Yu Ying public charter school said, “We look forward to this collaboration and future collaborations with Mr. Idowu.”
Wole organizes Innovation Conferences held at Carnegie Mellon University each semester and Miguel Richardson, the music producer who leads the music production portion of these events, will be on hand to engage the students in music technology. Wole will teach the students to code for VR and an Android smart watch called the TZN1 that he is developing on the Carnegie Mellon Campus.
The TZN1 will also play a large role in teaching the students coding as part of a mobile driving game. Students will take pictures using the TZN1 watches and be able to learn a line of code and share the pictures. Wole Idowu states, “I hope to bring a great session at the Auto Show to showcase and for the students at Yu Ying to learn from, grow, and develop their skills to become excellent developers, leaders, and innovators of the future.”
Throughout the entire run of the show, from January 26th through February 4th, multiple VR stations will be set up on the show floor. Additionally, there will be a gaming section where attendees of the Auto Show can play driving focused video games.
Founder and Editor in Chief, Damola Idowu, created Owners Illustrated magazine in the District of Columbia in 2002. He is bringing a proven formula that helped his son, Wole, graduate high school and be featured on CNBC at age 15. Wole, who was raised in Ward 8 DC, started school at age 4 at the World Public Charter School in their Mandarin immersion program and was exposed to technology at an early age. He graduated in 2017 from Carnegie Mellon University with an Electrical and Computer Engineering Degree.

Hit the trap with Playboy J on his new project "Bird Play" an 11-track sequence of bangers. Coming out of Florida, Playboy J has an opportunity to be a part of a hip-hop renaissance happening in the area. "Bird Talk" proves that J has what it takes to be the states next sensation and take the regional lifestyle to the mainstream. Playboy J projects a drug dealer persona that is too casual to be fake, his lyrics come from a minimalist approach but they carry a lot of weight. The beat selection is also well calculated on "Bird Play" the producers catered well to J's approach of slowed down fly talk. If you are in the mood for some trappy, bass heavy, persona-driven rap music "Bird Talk" is the project for you.
