Hi there, welcome to Honkmagazine. Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?

King F.L.O – What really inspired me to make music was the culture and the lifestyle of Hip Hop I began making music at an early age but when I was introduced to Hip Hop through my cousin introducing me to the Fugee’s first album I simply fell in love with the production and the craft itself.

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

King F.L.O – I realized I was going to make music professionally when I took my first instrument the violin from a school program because My family couldn’t afford to pay for me to attend the music program.

Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?

King F.L.O – What’s unique about me and my music is that it’s designed to make people think I’m focused on the craft as much as I’m focused on the message and every detail from the lyrics to the production. As an artist, I’m very versatile and try to stay away from making music that sounds like anyone else’s.

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

King F.L.O – My latest release is the album “GOD KING” the singles from this album include The Title track GOD KING/ BLESSED featuring Juice Wayne / BEAST MODE featuring Cory Gunz, Whispers, and Lik moss / FEEL IT featuring Oun P . what inspired me to create this album was life and the growth I’ve achieved through hardship and pain GOD KING represents someone who walks through the darkness to get to the light.

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

King F.L.O – I wish I was told in the beginning how important it was to have all my paperwork right for example trademark on your name and all the publishing paperwork correct. It is definitely crucial for an artist just starting to make sure all legalities are taken care of and current.

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) that you are passionate about?

King F.L.O – When I am not creating my own music as an artist my team and I are on the road shooting videos and creating visuals for many of the top mainstream artists in the world also I am an engineer by trade so I’m producing and engineering always For clients.

Fanny Alexandra explores emotional recovery and self-discovery on “Ceasefire”

Not every fight ends a relationship, and there could be long-term emotional damage, with questions about identity, attachment, and the difficult path to moving on. “Ceasefire” is a ghostly alternative rock ballad in which Fanny Alexandra navigates difficult terrain, exploring emotional dependency and the search for selfhood after a toxic relationship.

“Ceasefire” is full of sad melodies and hints of atmospheric rock, making it a dark, cinematic listen. The song’s alt-rock pivot provides an emotionally charged foundation, and it’s about the internal battle, especially when your identity has been so tied to another person.

Fanny Alexandra’s ethereal vocal approach suits the song, lending real emotional weight to the exploration of self-loss and internal tension. “Ceasefire” is a reflective track, with atmospheric instrumentation and deeply personal songwriting that capture feelings that can linger long after a tough chapter closes.

It’s about finding yourself again, and its emotional arc moves from openness and dependence to the hard-earned discovery that personal freedom is more than just walking away. Fanny Alexandra’s love for dark, emotional alternative music inspired “Ceasefire.” Her art is about intimate storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and making music that explores the quieter struggles people tend to keep inside. In this record, she turns the fallout from a toxic relationship into a meditative reflection on the long road to selfhood.

Stephani Ezatoff honors Elvis Presley’s legacy on powerful new single “Run On”

Gospel-rooted music carries emotional weight, especially when it explores the tension between faith, love, and accountability. With “Run On,“ Stephani Ezatoff combines these into a rock version of Elvis Presley’s famous 1967 version of the traditional African American gospel hymn.

Ezatoff doesn’t simply retrace history but surrounds it with a unique atmosphere of powerful vocals and an ever-intensifying arrangement. The single was recorded at the legendary Sound Shop Studio on Music Row in Nashville and has an interesting connection to Elvis Presley’s own recording history. The studio session was located a stone’s throw from RCA’s Studio B, where Elvis recorded his own version of the hymn.

This adds another layer of meaning to an already meaningful release, placing Ezatoff’s take within Nashville’s musical heritage. Aaron Minick’s arrangement plays on the contrast between divine love and judgment, which is central to the track’s identity. The production builds slowly, and the song becomes a dramatic, cinematic experience. Ezatoff also makes a unique contribution by singing all the vocals herself.

The story of how the recording was made adds to the poignancy of “Run On.” This is one of the last releases made at Sound Shop Studio, which hosted artists like Dolly Parton and Brenda Lee, but closed for good just days after the session. For Stephani Ezatoff, “Run On“ is a vital link between generations of musicians preserved in a recording that’s a piece of Nashville history.
