Be On The Look-Out: Artist of the Week- Slash-A-Mill

As the the hot summer days slowly give way to cool Fall nights. The music industry, both underground and mainstream begin to finish and release their final projects of the year. In a time where record sales are at historic lows and the wave of new faces in Hip-Hop shows no signs of settling, Slash-A-Mill begins his journey. He's blunt, comedic and hungry to succeed in all aspects of his music career. He's no stranger to challenges and at times, he welcomes them. Slash-A-Mill or Slash as most of his friends and sometimes family call him, has been dealing with cerebral palsy since birth. But, with his infectious personality you would have no idea. Even in his music his disability creeps in as he has difficulty saying words clearly during the recording process but again he fights and is able to create the music that he's known for. This Fall be prepared to be taken on his first musical journey which he has given an intriguing title, "Broken Headphones".

Broken Headphones is a 7 song EP that brings you into the World this out-spoken, New Jersey based Hip-Hop artist. The EP tells a story of pain, regret, fear and hope all with the production of Canadian producer DJ Cones and Her Beatz. On the EP, Slash-A-Mill speaks very candidly about the life he lives, the life he wants to live as well as balancing his career while trying to find true love in process. Each song is very musical and and aimed at conveying a raw emotion, the lyrics are just a guide. Slash-A-Mill is letting his guard down in a way that few artists do. He aims to give his listeners a look into his heart and soul. Why? During the construction of the project he said, "Music is about reaching people and saying something meaningful and this EP exhibits that philosophy".

The first single off "Broken Headphones" is called, "Close To Giving Up". It was produced by Canadian producer DJ Cones, The UserShare link to download the song is below and the the cover for the single is attached as well.

Be On The Look-Out: Artist of the Week- Philly Swain

Darin “Philly” Swain was born in the Southwest section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on
September 2nd, 1982. Swain remembers seeing rappers in the late 80’s looking and dressing like hustlers. Even though he knew being a hustler was off limits, rap wasn’t. At the age of six a promoter recognized swain as being very musically inclined & loved his swagger so much that he promoted his first show, and he’s been performing ever since. As a teenager, he was known for winning and being undefeated during his high school competitions, at the local YMCAs
where schools from all across the city attended. In the year 2000 Swain performed in shows with Da Brat, Master P, Trina, and Missy Elliot. In April of 2002, Swain signed with a local label named, Take Down Records, owned by the now infamous Alton "Ace Capone" Coles. Swain performed at the Spectrum along with Jay-Z, Lil-Mo, State Property, Dip set, Clipse, and Fabulous. Unfortunately due to legal issues, Swains album was postponed until his release. On Swains return from a three year term of incarceration he discovered that the label he was on had been federally indicted. This did not falter Swain who appeared on 106 and Park months after his return, where he became the first winner from Philadelphia. He also went 31-0 at The Fight Klub. Swain began a partnership with his producer and friend Sap the Beat Man (who was recently featured on www.allhiphop.com as one of the hottest young producers). Swain also starred in a film project titled "Hustle Diaries"
displaying life in Take Down Records. Hustle Diaries was directed by Barry Michael Cooper, writer of New Jack City, Sugar Hill, and Above the Rim. Swain was featured in two songs (Me & Salute) on Jamie Knights Album The Secrets Out Released in the summer of 2007. In March of 2008 Swain was nominated Philly’s Hip-Hop Artist of the Year! November 2008 when his Grind Time battle premiered on www.worldstarhiphop.com it was viewed over 400,000 times in seven days, surpassing the views of Beyoncé’s Single Ladies Video. In 2009 Swain also wrote and performed the opening song for the play “Why Do Black Men Cheat,” he also starred in a TV sitcom "The Swagger Family.” Swain is currently working on a new album Real vs. Fake release date to be announced.
