How long have you been making music?

8 years

What genre would you consider your music to be?

What inspired you to pursue a career in music?

I‘ve always been inspired to be an artist ever since I was a young child. Growing up I watched artists such as Michael Jackson, Diddy, Jay-z, and many others and saw the impact that they had on the world. I’ve always been inspired by this and dreamed of one day using my gift of music to be an inspiration and a role model to the world.

I first started doing music when I was 10 years old. My father formed a group with me and two of my brothers. Weekly we would go to nursing homes in our area to perform for the elderly. I was also forced to be in our church choir and attend weekly rehearsals. Music has always been a big part of my life. This is where my raw skill, passion, and talent for music come from.

What are your biggest musical influences?

Since I have been doing so long it has always been a lifestyle for me. Music is a part of me and who I am. As my craft matured I’ve become a professional. As time has gone by creating music I’ve been blessed with many opportunities to take my music to a professional level.

Growing up watching great artists such as Michael Jackson Diddy etc. and seeing their passion for music influences me to be great and embrace my talents as an artist.

Are you signed to a label or are you an independent artist?

I’m an independent artist.

What have been the biggest challenges in your music career?

The biggest challenge in my music career so far was at first I was having a difficult time being accepted in the churches. As a gospel artist, I share a faith-based message about Jesus and how he has positively impacted my life. I also share some of my life stories and testimonies of selling drugs in the streets, being incarnations, and how God has turned my life around. However, my music doesn’t sound like the topical gospel you would hear from “Kirt Franklin” but a trap street type sound. At first, the church didn’t understand and wasn’t too interested in me sharing my music with them. As time has gone on and things have changed so much in society, and we have faced much more hardships such as the pandemic and violence my music is now more embraced by e everyone because it’s positive it gives hope to a hopeless generation and now more are open to change and feel as though they need God in there lives.

How many songs or albums have you released to date?

I currently have 3 albums out on all platforms which my latest album is Trap Gospel.

Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?

My latest release is Trap Gospel Remix which features legendary producer Zaytoven and hip hop legend Project, Pat. Working with Project Pat doesn’t come as a surprise because we have collated earlier in my career called on a song called ‘Geeked Up’. Back then Williams was making music under the name Fast Money. Soon as the single was released I was arrested for selling drugs back in2013. Furring that difficult time in my life I made some changes and now making Christian and focused on changing a generation and spreading positive vibes in efforts to encourage others to follow God.

Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?

The success of this single has set me up to work on a new single produced by Zaytoven which will be released soon!

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.

“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.

Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”

BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.

“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.

The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.

The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.

“It’s All Good” is an engaging and approachable phrase that offers context for an artist who is confident and clear about their artistic vision. This is the kind of song you listen to when you need some honest encouragement to remember that just being human can help you move forward. This is only the first chapter of something serious, so expect more from him.
