HIP HOP/R&B UNSIGNED ARTISTS:F-R-ANTIC

Published on July th, 2011

Frantic or F-r-antic and is a lyricist/songwriter

From Birmingham. Currently he’s make UK hip-hop music as a rapper, but

He have grown through the Midlands scene through grime music. For him he says

music is more about finding out new ways to use words to capture an

emotion, situation or memory. Every song he as written has that

‘relatable’ factor to it; because he draw on real things and by that he

mean the good, as well as the bad.

He was previously signed to an independent record label in

Birmingham when he was 17, which had problems coping in the

recession. t’s only been since 2010 that he have chose to solely make

 hip-hop music, because as an artist he feels it’s the genre that

best expresses his talent.

HIP HOP/R&B UNSIGNED ARTISTS:KENZA

Kenza is a singer song-writer hailing from a small town in Norfolk and currently residing in East London.  A strong passion for music and the realisation she had a strong voice at a young age soon blossomed into a willingness to become a singer. With no prominent music scene where she grew up and little chance of success to the magnitude that she was looking for, Kenza took it upon herself to move to London at the age of seventeen. Over the last seven years, she has built up an impressive list of music industry contacts and has worked with the likes of American producers Black Out and UK based producers Bless Beatz, Radio1xtra DJ Target , The Real NV and Chunky Bizzle. She has also had the pleasure of working and making music with many respected artists such as Lyfe Jennings, Mclean, Roll Deep, Wiley, Ghetto and Ruff Squad. She wrote and recorded the official UK Remix of “This Is Why I’m Hot” originally recorded by Mims which received airplay on London’s Choice FM and many other UK radio stations earning her trip to Miami to work with the original producers.


With the help of both commercial radio stations, underground radio stations and social networking websites, Kenza was able to make a name for herself with a strong 14,000 fan following. A range of genres have been experimented with in her career from R&B and Funky House to Acoustic and Alternative. However, she has recently found her niche and settled on electro-pop with an urban edge.




You only have to look at the UK chart to realise this genre is dominating; essentially selling the most records. At a time when many UK Grime and R&B artists are breaching into funkier electro pop genres, a door is being opened for more artists that fall into this category. With a powerful voice and attitude to match, Kenza’s music, unique sounding voice and personality suitably fit this position. This year, Kenza has written and recorded a song entitled ‘I Believe’ which was produced by ex Roll Deep member Chunky Bizzle. A sample of the track is ready to be unleashed on the internet and a video has been completed for expected release in October.


She will be  releasing her  debut single and video the end of July 2011 and doing shows and gigs throughout the summer and completing my album at present also working with producers chunky bizzle and the real Nv.

“Carmen Leigh is a model and singer from the UK, currently sponsored by  US rapper, Nelly’s Apple Bottoms Clothing. She’s half Jamaican, half  Dominican and resides in the heart of London. She’s been modelling for 3  years and has taken part in many event hosting, videos as well as  features in many print and online publications.


Although Carmen’s  background began with music and street dancing, she always had a  passion for modelling. Beginning her career working for the Urban Music  Awards as a model, Carmen then went on to grace our TV screens in a  number of music videos from Sway ft Akon, Silver & Gold to Donae’o  Party Hard Anthem and more. Carmen has also featured in a number of UK  and US publications like Flavour Magazine, I-Candy Mag, 504 Dymes  magazine, AA Dimes, Creative Vanity Magazine, Rap Models and worked with  a number of fantastic photographers like CE Wiley Studios, Nureign,  Simon Barton (Dynam!cPose Photography), Emerzy Corbin (Noccophoto  Photography) plus many more….


Carmen released her first  calendar in 2010 which sold out within months and was also a part of the  UK hit comedy ‘Fun House’ show on MTV Base. Not only does Ms Leigh model,  but she is also an events host in the UK, has also been a part of a  number of club hosting for the likes of Flo Rida, TQ, Sway and more and  is also a UK DJ and former radio presenter.


This year you can expect to see her go wild with my music doing  everything she love and working with many musical genius’s in the  business. she is  very versatle and experimental, so don’t expect her to  stick to just one sound, she will be trying my hand at multiple genres of  music and collaborating with many people. It’s all about her fans having  the chance to really get to know who she is  and i know this will be  achieved through her music. she will  be heading a lot of shows here in the UK  as well as in the US. Her new website will be launching in May 2011  where all her  fans can be kept up to date on her plans, where-abouts and  tour dates. This is a very exciting time for her, something she have longed  to do in all her  life, it’s transitional, so I hope the UK and the rest  of the world is ready for what she’s about to do.


Her  music hasn’t  been released as yet, but when it does, it can be purchased via my  website, iTunes and all other leading websites.So look out for this young lady.

HIP HOP/R&B UNSIGNED ARTIST: HAYLEY CASSIDY

Hayley Cassidy is an explosive Singer/Songwriter from London. Formally a member of a girl group, Hayley Cassidy has been a solo artist for almost five years and has since then set her feet firmly on the musical ground. Hayley’s sound is not to be restricted by the usual genres of music, but to be recognised as a genre with that special Hayley Cassidy ingredient. Ms Cassidy’s sound is fresh, it’s new and it is a breath of fresh air to the music scene. It is the type of music that will get you excited and have your blood pumping in anticipation to hear the next Hayley Cassidy track. Self written by the musical gem, her truthful lyrics will relate to you to the extent where you may find yourself “mean-mugging.” If Hayley’s sound had to be classified it would be: R&B with a dash of pop, a hint of fire and a carefully seasoned marinade in Hayley Cassidy’s essence.


Currently in the studio, Hayley is working on her debut album projected to be released later on this year. 2011 is yet to see what Ms Cassidy has in store for the world including a single and video release for the summer. As a solo artist her plan continues to grow as she develops musically, making her highly anticipated album the first notch in her solo career. In addition to all of this Ms Cassidy will be returning to the stage very soon to perform her new material live and direct to an arena near you!


There is no official release date as yet for the single, however once released it will be available at all of the major online outlets as well as the high-street stores. To be kept informed of the release dates, Hayley Cassidy’s performances and her official website launch stay locked to Hayley’s twitter and Facebook group.

Yeah i know its been ladies ladies,so ladies this one is for you.A young rapper who goes by the name of Jedi!


Jedi grew up in Peckham south east London aka the NARM!!! On one of  Europe’s largest council estates: North Peckham estate. No sob story but  life was hard and Jedi quickly became a product of his  environment…..bad choices took Jedi to bad places, but it was still  important for him to learn the value of his own life.


The things  Jedi has experienced, both positive and negative are reflected in the  songs Jedi writes. Jedi’s versatility is the first thing to jump out at  you when you listen to his music. From fast paced high tempo dance  fusion to deeply soulful hip-hop tracks laced with social commentary  this young man definitely has a lot to say and a flavor to satisfy  almost everybody.


With debut Mixtape (HONEYZ LUV  HUSTLAZ) and more releases scheduled for later this year plus singles  and videos Jedi is destined for greatness!
