DC’s Rising Superstar
My Artist name is foleone. (Foh - lee - on ). Like the godfather. I got my name from a homie out the penitentiary I was doing time with. My real name is fredo I’m from Washington DC. born in caver terrace NE and raised in Potomac gardens SE. I’m from where nigga kill you just because you looked at him. I grew up in foster care & running the streets. Youngest of 9 kids by my mother. I grew up listening to geto boys and lil boosie. I love music because it’s the only thing in life that’s positive that I realized I was good at. I was always a f* up. Getting suspended, arrested, jumped all types of crazy sh*. Music has always offered a balance in my life, going through the hardships of life such as foster care , teen life, juvenile incarceration and much more. I never let it break me. What makes me different than the rest in my opinion is my versatility and my bold lyrical cadence. Having the ability to gravitate with the flow of the beat.Also i feel as though it’s my ambition to succeed. My hunger is equal to my struggle. I will be great. Having the feeling of knowing I get to show my mother that her youngest son a legend. The feeling of knowing that I’m beating the odds and not feeding into statistics. In 5 years I see myself in Dubai w my future wife and kids on the golden sand enjoying the fruits of my labor. I wanna be the first one in my family to break poverty. To break the chains. I bring hope. I bring reason. A reason for change. A reason to stand on all 10 as one. Anything is possible in this world. you jus gotta want it. You gotta put in that foot work. I want to be remembered by my integrity and my loyalty.

Reading music is an essential skill for any musician, as it allows them to understand and perform written compositions. The process of reading music involves interpreting the symbols and memorandum set up on a distance of music in order to play the correct notes on an instrument. At its utmost introductory position, reading music involves understanding the layout of a distance of music, including the staff, clefs, and note values. The staff, which is the foundation of distance music, is made up of five vertical lines and four spaces, on which notes are placed.

From Amir Royale I don't think I've ever really felt well-understood by my peers or mentors. Most my life I was outcasted for my passionate and exuberant outlook. "Phonics" was a way for me to define what that felt like — but, furthermore — showcase to others how to combat it. I've had this song sitting in a vault since before the pandemic. Thus, I recruited some of my favorite people in this whole wide world to share the stage for one of my last few "harder" stories to tell. Or, well — at least I think so. Declan Sheehy-Moss (a good friend of the next J. Dilla and Robert Glasper - Cisco Swank); as well as Sydney Kate Palmer (an NYU student of mine) both bring this so beautifully to life — and, I don't know — I just hope you finally get it one day. Maybe, just maybe — I even pray I'll still be here on Earth to know finally what it feels like. That's if God decides I'm lucky enough. I love and miss you all, always. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺

Mohammed Hussain ImfasPublished about a year ago in Beat1/3 - Breaking Down Taylor Swift's Discography and Its Impact
The impact of Taylor Swift’s music is certainly apparent to the general public. Her vastly dedicated fanbase, expansive career, genre-switching, and songwriting acclaim have made her one of the most successful musical artists of the 21st century. This is a deep dive into her different eras and the profound impact that her music has had on me, personally. Her debut album, Taylor Swift, introduced the world to the sixteen-year-old, beautiful, blond, songwriting genius that is Taylor Swift, with her debuting as a country act. Her first released single was titled Tim McGraw, which introduced her songwriting gift to music listeners everywhere. Her stark talent at such a young age was evident from the beginning. I was born in 2003, so I was only three years old when her first album was released, and I didn’t discover how much I genuinely connected with her music, until later on. With that being said, I consider myself to be a highly dedicated fan now and have done much research about her, her songwriting process, and I adored watching the Miss Americana documentary, as well as the Reputation Stadium Tour film, and the long pond studio sessions Disney+ special. I also write poetry myself, and all of her lyrics are just so eloquently poetic in a way that can truly invoke emotion.

Introduction I think I first came across Wire on the "Live At The Roxy London WC2 - Jan - Apr 77" album, where two of their songs, "Lowdown" and "12XU", were featured. The album was a great live punk document but while their sound was very raw, for me, Wire stood out as being different and it turned out that they progressed while generally staying out of the mainstream and are still creating music today.
