FTSORADIONEWS SUMMER SPECTACULAR ARTIST

BE MYSELF ALWAYS LADON

Words cannot express how brilliant of a mind and artist BMA LaDon is. For this article I have chosen to run things slightly different. Doing a Question and Answer forum would not do this mans concepts and wise prophecies justice. Therefore, dear audience I would like for you to take your time and allow this man words and music to speak for themselves. 

Presenting the Word of BMA LaDon

 

 My name is BMA LaDON, BMA originally this stood for Breezy Mane Apollo ,which I took on as a music alias in high school. However, as of late i refer it to Be Myself Always and LaDON. The idea came along while I was in college so BMA LaDON became some what of a signature...."Be Myself Always....LaDON". 

I was born and raised in Warsaw, NC located on the west-side of Duplin County. Growing up in the 910 had its ups and downs. There isn't much to do and trouble is easy to find, but there is a certain peaceful quiet and simple country living that can make you fall deeply in love with the nine dime(910). 

Since a young boy, my older brother schooled me in the music that shaped the 90's and early 2000's. He taught me how to listen not only with my ears but also with my mind and heart. Ive always written poetry or short stories since i was a kid but I'll have to say that 2006 was the year I noticed I had talent with wordplay and I posess the ambition to take it somewhere. 

 I'm originally a singer and I've always been talented with writing, but rapping is becoming my main focus lately. To myself personally, I consider myself a "well-rounded" artist.  People see me and notice my size, the black tee shirt and the locs in my hair and automatically judge me from off that depiction. But when they get to know and hear me they notice that "looks can be deceiving." 

I meet most of the members of Family First through my bro Nkosi aka Pyrex who has been my right hand since the 1st time we exchanged names in college. Ever since then its been music, "meditation", and more music. I then met Bongo in 2013 and Family First Entertainment or Double F, came about in 2014 so now we are here!!!! I feel as if Family First is a collective of talent and genres and a dedication to the improvment of not only us individually but collectively as a movement.

 I feel like if your music is an exact reflection of yourself personally, then how can the world misunderstand you or your ideals. 

I try not to separate who i am from what i speak musically. I believe that my path is greatness and my message is immortality for me and my bros. Not only the continuation of life, but instead the continuation of our ideals and music.

I tend to zone out in my music and ideas and blend them together and after that its all cream!!! B.A.M.N. (the single), was, in my mind, a reawakening for our race. We lose sight of our true heritage and inheritance with today's media and stereotypes and our history seems to be forgotten or installed in a couple of chapters in a history book.

We were born in greatness, stolen away from greatness, and shall one day return to greatness.

In 5 years time I see proseperity and success for Family First Ent. and myself. By that time i plan to at least drop my debut album and introduce the 910 and the world to Immortality. I don't seclude "my people" to a certain race or ethnic group. My people are the freethinkers. The brave who dare to defy societies holds and customs. The ones who partake in the Nectar and Ambrosia of this life and willing to climb the highest peak of Mount Olympus to dwell within the resolution of Immortality.

My name is BMA LaDON. I am not your average typical artist. I am about me, myself and my Family so its "Double F, more than flesh...". 

"From my view atop Mount Olympus,

Nectar in my cup and Ambrosia in my swisher...." - BMA LaDON

FTSORADIONEWS MONDAY ARTIST BLAST-OFF

SOUND JUST GOT REAL WITH JAY RELL 

Interview with Jay Rell Italicized below.

Birth name? What is your artist name? What is the meaning? Where were you born and raised?

My name is Joshua Smith; my stage name is Jay Rell. I don’t no fancy meaning or anything my first name Josh, so I took the J out of Josh and the R out of my middle name which is Terrell. I was born in Raleigh, NC raised in the Sampson (Turkey) and Duplin County (Warsaw) area, 9dime Baby!.  What are considered a few successes in your career? And where do you expect to go in the next 5 to 10 years in your career?

Recently my crew (F.A.M.M) and I competed in this celebrity status competition for 2hotradio.com, as one of the Reps from NC, to compete for a very lucrative prize that could give our crews a boost, I also competed in my school’s “Viking got talent showcase” unfortunately I didn’t move on to the next round of the competition, But it was real good exposure.  And I recently graduated from ECSU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. That’s a major accomplishment for me because I feel like the education is going to help me in the long run. 5 to 10 years from now I expect to be a Business mogul not just music, music is just the start, I could see could myself conquering the Big Screen also   
How is life currently compared to when you were growing up?

Lol “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get” as Forrest Gump would say but for real life is a beautiful thing, I’m enjoying the experience. It’s a little harder now in the real world, back in the days momma took care of everything.


When it comes to creating, what exactly is the “method” to your madness?
 I like to be by myself most of the time, just me and the beat. I try to become one with the beat and just write what’s on my mind. But sometimes me and the crew be in the lab bouncing ideas off each other. When I’m making a beat it’s the same way, I can think Cleary when I’m in my on space. 
Describe what type of music you make?
 

Rap and Hip hop and, but to take it a little farther I would say I make eccentric trap music, but I don’t like to be boxed in because I love music, enjoy making it and willing to try new things, to make the culture better and push it farther. 
In the song “Let it Go” what exactly is the message? By the way the song is great
 

Thank you I’m glad you enjoy it! S/O to Dre Anderson of Eazy beats. The overall message of the song is for people to be real, keep it straight don’t claim a life you don’t live.
How do you feel about the 910 rap game?  And what is the standard you set yourself and others to/any advice?
I think the whole NC music scene is dope; there are a lot of talented artists from rap to R&B special S/O to my crew F.A.M.M, my homies FAN Gang who are making some major moves, DSK, and young Saint. That’s just a few I named, but I truly believe Carolina is next, J. Cole was the beginning! Advice I would give other artist is live your dream and perfect your craft. What inspired you to make “November 27th freestyle
 

I did Nov. 27th for my birthday, I had just turned 22 and wanted to drop a freestyle celebrating my birthday.Who are the artists that inspired you coming up?
 

For real  For real a lot of Rap/Hip Hop artist would say Biggie and 2Pac but for me when I was growing up I seen Bow Wow and Romeo killing the game at a young age. I knew  since then I wanted to make music and perform. I also was a Big fan of Mase  and Ludacris.What are your views on life success and happiness?
 

Having lots of money and women (Laughs) just kidding but that would be nice. 

 Success and Happiness come from the inside you being happy and satisfied with yourself and being able to spend time with love ones and people you care about. To me that’s true success and happiness.

WEDNESDAYS ARTIST DEBUT

THE INVASION OF NIXXXSTYLEZ

Years ago I met Nixxxstyles in the 910, Kenansville North Carolina. Initially upon meeting him I felt I was standing beside a pure dynamic person. His energy exudes through his personality, and it was a surprise to find out that he is also an amazing poet, artist and rapper. Nixxxstylez, the rap artist, is sure to bring "raw pulsating passion." Below is a glimpse into the intensity that Nixxxstylez is bringing to the game, in a short Q&A.

Where were you born and raised ? How is it that you got into the 910 scene on music?

   

 I was born and raised in the 302 (Delaware) and moved down to the 910 when I was 18 years old. Before moving, I was into spoken word but being in the 910 with the likes of the artist Bongo Mo, my music and rapping started to POP, even though I am a shy individual.---Nixxxstylez

What is the meaning to Nixxxstylez?  Any hidden meaning in the 3 x's in Nixxx?

    Nixxx motherfucking Stylez! (Lol)The N.I is for nice the x is for sex and the Stylez is all me baby.---Nixxxstylez

 Describe your music.

    My music is my music. I record what I like. Fuck the masses. My craft is the way the  Lord wants it. If you like it, I'll have you know that what I do and who I am, will have you nodding your head so much you look out of it.---Nixxxstylez

What artist do you look up to?

 I look up to artist like Kendrick Lamar. I can relate to his music but I enjoy a few of the late greats. Honestly there are to many artist to name, a few from the old school but mainly Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu and Curtis Mayfield  and many more.---Nixxxstylez

   

 And how do you feel about the current underground and independent artist industry and also in the 910?

       

The underground needs to stand up take back Hip Hop. A lot of these niggas need to realize they are making music, I'm watching the throne.  And as far as the 910 from the 302 on down towards the south, I have nothing but love.---Nixxxstylez

So am I dealing with an artist that gives "raw passion"?

In truth I give ear-gasm’s and love. Sometimes a little bit of beef but there's only fear and happiness in this world, so yea we can call it passion...---Nixxxstylez

   

And also any advice for others in the rap game?

     

 

Yea, I was gunna GPS my location so you can let them know where real rap is at.---Nixxxstylez
