RAPPER SKG SPEAK ON ICE SPICE SAYING “SOME FEMALE RAPPERS ACT DIFFERENT BEHIND THE SCENES”

Ice Spice quickly rose toward the top of the ranks among female rappers, and she recently spoke about her feelings on the competition.

On Thursday (Sept. 28), Variety debuted their new cover story interview with Ice Spice. The Bronx, N.Y. rapper talked about her rise to fame and spoke about how some female rappers act differently behind the scenes now that she is blowing up.

“It is a competition at the end of the day,” Ice Spice said. “People want to be all ‘I’m a girl’s girl,’ but then behind the scenes being bitches. Basically, we here, the girls, are doing amazing. I’m excited to see it. I feel like the competition is what keeps us all excited because I think we all secretly enjoy competing and seeing who put that s**t on better and who’s gon’ get the most views.”

She added, “I can be transparent, and I know the competition is checking on me too, which is why it’s OK to say that. Because it’s like, ‘Yeah, girl, I’m watching you and I know you watching me.’ And boys are watching too, because they be secretly haters. But everybody today is competing with everybody no matter if you a boy, girl, nonbinary, whatever it is. You still checking in on your competition. That’s in every industry.”

One artist that’s been vocal about female rap and the politics behind it, is Los Angeles-based female rapper, songwriter, and film producer Helecia Choyce, better known as SKG. Entering the music industry at thirteen and being discovered by Suge Knight in 2001, SKG signed a major deal with Death Row Records. Her track “Let em Have it” on Tupac Shakur’s “Until The End of Time” went to #4 on the charts, earning her a Platinum Plaque for previous work at the Legendary “Death Row Records” and also receiving her plaques for her present work with BLAKDOUT Records, SKG is proving that any artist can re brand themselves while working hard to create a name within the music industry.

“I do agree with Ice Spice in regards to how some female rappers act” SKG said.

“I understand to some it’s competition, so they have a competitive attitude, but for someone like me I’m not trying to really compete against other female rappers. I’m really a fan of female rap both independent and mainstream. I just love seeing the ladies win. This industry was male dominated for so long, watching Nicki, Cardi, Meg, Ice Spice, Glorilla, Sexyy Red kick the door down should be inspiring to all female rappers. I feel it’s enough for everyone to win and at the end of the day we aren’t taking any of this with us once we leave this earth. It’s better to genuinely cheer and clap for people and to move with grace”.

Ice Spice’s progression has been noticeable and she continues to count wins. She’s just been nominated for four Grammys, which was announced by the Recording Academy on Friday (Nov. 10)

Over the summer, she had two songs, “Karma (Remix)” with Taylor Swift, and the Nicki Minaj collab “Barbie Girl,” in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Most recently, she is coming off winning Best New Artist at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Ice is currently prepping to go on Doja Cat’s Scarlet Tour, which kicked off on Halloween.

“Ice Spice deserves her flowers for the hard work she’s put in to making a name for herself in this male dominated industry” SKG said.

Mick J. Clark shares a charming serenade with his recent release “My Friend Evonne”

Mick J. Clark

My Friend Evonne,” the newest single by singer-songwriter Mick J. Clark, pulled from his sixth album, ‘Pole Position,’ is a heartfelt tribute to friendship. It captures the unique, one-in-a-million kind of connection, the rare blend that embodies aspects of a soulmate, best friend, confidante, and lifelong partner, a relationship most of us only dream about.

The song radiates with overly sentimental warmth, layered in nostalgic charm and lyrical sincerity. From the first note, the gentle groove feels like slipping into a treasured memory. Clark’s deep and golden voice carries a kind of lived-in wisdom; it doesn’t just sing about love; it truly understands it.

Evonne, as depicted in the song, isn’t just the object of affection; she’s a magnetic muse, a vivid memory, and a mythical figure wrapped in genuine emotion, the spark that illuminates the entire song. Described as a princess and a devil, she takes on a cinematic quality in Clark’s world, one who’s impossible to replace, forget and even harder not to love. The beauty of the song lies in its simplicity: devoid of flashy production tricks or over-the-top dramatics, it emphasizes pure emotion, elite songwriting, and a melody that lingers like scent on a favorite shirt.

Kate Neckel rides on emotions in new single “Wave Break”

Honk Magazine

Kate Neckel’s “Wave Break” bursts in with an invigorating splash of raw honesty. The song was recorded in a single spontaneous take from her NYC home and is a living, breathing moment. Once again, it is evident that Neckel’s boundary-shattering artistry also crosses disciplines.

“Wave Break” vibrates with unfiltered energy that can’t be faked. Just as she casts her visual art instinctively and quickly, her songwriting process is impulsive and in the moment. The effect is a track that feels more like a brushstroke on the canvas of your life than a studio-cut single. The imperfections are fingerprints and evidence of a real human being behind each note and breath.

What sets “Wave Break” apart is how closely it gets to a sense of place and presence. You can hear the hum of city life, apartment acoustics, and the urgency of inspiration coursing in real-time. It’s also intimate, gritty, and fiercely alive. Neckel’s voice glides along the track like the tide, flowing with feeling and then receding into reserve, and at no point does it lose its truthfulness.

As performer and producer, Neckel stamps every layer of the track with her artistic DNA. Even the single’s artwork, done by her hand, contributes to this immersive effect. “Wave Break” invites you to feel, see, and exist inside a moment of pure creative expression. “Wave Break” is a testament to her evolution from a visual artist to a storyteller and the power of the unfiltered when it comes to the art that matters most.
