artists that I admire and love

there are a number of talented artists that reside in brooklyn and i am lucky to know a few of them. I will be showcasing their work as much as I can and I suggest u take heed, starting with two of my favorites below. Their style is eclectic, innovative, sexy and on top of that they are beautiful people inside and out. Both are involved enlightening and uplifting our community and they do it quite well, some of you local artists take note. They are also a couple, all that in one room can make a girl very dizzy, but in a hot and delicious kind of way ; )

This genre bending Brooklyn based artist’s sound is sensual and demanding, melodic and unapologetic. Audiences let go of their inhibitions when Raye 6 comes into play.  Miss 6′s brand is magnetizing, drawing adults from all facets of life into her Universe. Raye 6 never goes unnoticed, whether it’s walking down the street, the supermarket or merely sitting in a park, she draws attention from every age group and nationality imaginable. Her hair alone needs security. Raye 6 is a walking billboard, a fashion icon in the making and as CMJ described her “The woman with the hurricane vocals.”

Coming from the revolutionary hip-hop group A-Alikes, illumiNessence is no  stranger to the game.  For years he and  his partner A-Black,along with the rest  of the RBG/People Army family (dead prez, Divine  of the Dey, Umi, Dedan, etc) have been on a mission to bring to  light the world of  the have-nots, and send out a call to arms to rise up, educate and build community.
EYE2025*Chapter1 is a continuation of that call. While sonically it is a new direction, experimenting with – and pushing the lines of – genres and sounds, the project is still just as critical of the powers that be and the system we live in as A-Alikes has always, and continues to be.
