P.M., born Aveon Falstar, is a premier smooth vocalist and a rising singer songwriter in R & B music. He ascended quickly as an internet sensation displaying amazing vocal agility and aromantic flare, skillfully rifting cover ballads of his music idols Brian McKnight, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Joe, and Michael Jackson.

[Single] P.M. 'Hate Loving You'
P.M. is dazzling the ears of many with his dynamic vocal range and raw original sound, perfectly primed for those late-night sessions. He developed his love of singing as a youngster, just 10 years old when he first performed for his Mother, to get validation of the new self discovery of his God given gift. Making his public debut before an audience at a middle school talent show, Aveon surprised the entire school when he brought down the house with his vocal acrobatics. Also, a talented athlete, Aveon got away from singing for a while and took to thegridiron, starring on his high school football team and taking them to a Georgia championship. The highly sought-after quarterback with the big arm quickly attracted the attention of divisionone college teams but Aveon, enticed by the fascination and demand for his melodic voice, decided to pursue a career in entertainment instead.

After a stint for several years, as lead singer for a popular local band in his hometown of Macon, Georgia, Aveon moved on to corporate events and eventually as a much-requestedcruise ship singer, impressing audiences from all around the world. Those performances and his internet fame catapulted Aveon to a solo career and critical acclaim that caught theattention of Wendy Williams Show and his current New York Production Company, 53rd West.

In 2018, he secured his first break when he signed a contract and launched his recording career with a name change to P.M. and his first single, titled, “Big Guns” A very masculine, yetseductive eclectic Caribbean vibe. The song’s instant success is noted by heavy rotation on multiple radio stations, strong social media attention, DJ’s favorite on the club scene andSpotify, hearing the single a recent meeting declaring, “That’s the one.” The title of the song is double entendre that creatively refers to P.M.’s days playing football and possessing a big arm, big muscles, and big confidence in romance.

P.M. arrived on the professional music scene as a recording artist primed for a long and successful career. As a true artist, P.M.’s musical talent promises to deliver memorable heart throbbing ballads and powerfully driven dance cuts that will draw the music world to his feet attracted to his unmistakable gift and musical genius.

At a time of undeniable disapproval of American political leaders ; there has been an evident need for an influential lead for the people that live in "The Struggle". For this reason, NY recording artist Skittelz & DMV Producer Del Connect have decided to re-release this powerful record on all streaming platforms . In an era where stereotypical trap beats and simplistic lyrics are the norm, Skittz dares to share the depth of his experience via poetic delivery and enlighten the masses while tapping into the essence of the music culture . According to Wikipedia , the origins of "Hip-Hop have been described as an outlet and voice for the disenfranchised youth of low-economic areas, as the culture reflected the social, economic and political realities of their lives." Hearing that truth on this record is a breath of fresh air , along with the messages accompanied within the project's visuals. The message addresses economic class,the great recession, Inequality, activism,crime in low-income communities,student loan debt in America, broken homes, outsourcing of jobs/careers to foreign countries, poverty, organized boycotts and my exercise of the consitutional first ammendment rights.

Make sure that you share the music or spread the movement; for the creation of more impactful art and organizing solutions in these troubling times.

Recently Lord Diamonds released his highly anticipated album “Robert’s Quest”. The album which features Michael Rushden, Teddy Bass and a humorous verse by Greg Beamish comes together nicely with some slick production by the Lord’s frequent collaborator Moka Only. Without a doubt Robert’s Quest provides us an opportunity to witness Lord Diamonds progression as an artist. On impressive tracks such as Bentley Rolls and Change The Knight, Lord Diamonds wordplay paints us a picture reminiscent of classic vocal stylings by MF Doom, Kool Keith and the legendary Slick Rick. Fans of sophisticated yet tongue in cheek hip-hop should definitely get to know Lord Diamonds through Robert’s Quest.

Banknote Mitch - My Partner

Lil Wayne may be down, but he is never out. Wayne returns with his new artist Charlotte, North Carolina’s own Banknote Mitch. Wayne will be releasing Banknote’s 5th release since parting ways with G-Unit entitled “12 Sign” dropping August 30th on datpiff.com. Some may think Mitch rose from the underground scene overnight.
 
Banknote_Mitch_1.jpg
 
The true story is much deeper; he has been through a maze of trials & tribulations including fighting the justice system, being black balled out the music industry, & worst of all fighting for his life. Police say Mitch’s affiliation with street gangs are what lead to his near death experience in 2008. The birth of his first child & marriage were both huge factors in him changing his lifestyle. That change gave Banknote the push that he once lost, no longer discouraged.
 
Banknote_Mitch_2.jpg
 
He set out on a journey to conquer the mainstream music scene, spending consecutive hours in the studio deprived of sleep. Traveling state to state performing for pennies, until one day Mitch’s luck started to look up. The day was no different from any other, he was gearing up to perform at a small club in New Orleans. The club couldn’t have fit more than a hundred people, but just so happen one of those people was Grammy Award – winning rapper Lil Wayne.
 
Banknote_Mitch_3.jpg
 
Wayne signed Mitch on the spot, and as they say, the rest is history. Since then, Mitch has only received love & support from his peers, colleagues, & the industry that once shun him. This is a story of great triumph & a perfect example that sometimes change is for the better.

Ivy - IDK

An artist coming out of South Florida by the name of "Ivy" is impacting the game of conscious rap with his jazzy almost 90s style flows, and his message. He started with music in 7th grade just freestyling to beats, and loving rappers coming up like Drake, J.cole, and Kendrick Lamar. He did take a break from music to pursue basketball but music brought him back. He wants to change the culture of sound in hip hop and the voice in his community. He has a heart for the world but stays true to his roots. As he grows in making music, he will soon be a household name. 

What is the concept behind the music video titled "IDK?"
-IDk- I wanted to just show my flow and lyrical talent but having a slight meaning of who I am.
And you have a dope song  on soundcloud called "Energy" so what's the deal with that track?  https://soundcloud.com/ivyb19/energy-prod-by-dreamlife-beats 
- I just want to be different, I'm not afraid to give who I am in music. I'm just giving you my energy.

Michael Rushden returns with the release of his jaw dropping new album “Use Your Illusion III”. The album which features some great Chiptune production by Michael’s frequent collaborator Lord Diamonds sticks to it’s NES Zapper Guns from start to finish. Each track comes to life with Michael’s hysterically ignorant yet often descriptive wordplay. Topics on the album range from hard partying at a college dorm (Dazed & Amused) to driving around in a mystical vehicle near the La Brea Tar Pit (Ford Flintstone). As any Michael Rushden fan should expect, the fun doesn’t stop until the very end. If you’re into unapologetic, next level, balls out comedy hip-hop, Michael Rushden is the badass dude you’ve been looking for.
