Roc Nation’s Bodega Flee to release new music with Jim Jones, Zoey Dollaz, 42 Dugg, Tory Lanez and Latin artists Melii, Rochy Rd, Kiko El Crazy and Chucky 73

Roc Nation’s Bodega Flee to release new music with Jim Jones, Zoey Dollaz, 42 Dugg, Tory Lanez, and Latin artists Melii, Rochy Rd, Kiko El Crazy, and Chucky 73

Roc Nation’s heavy hitter DJ Bodega Flee is probably best known as one of Florida’s most sought-after DJs. Having worked at radio stations like 95.7FM (Tampa) 104.5 FM The Beat (Orlando) and 99.1 Jamz (Miami) he has solidified himself as a turntable legend in the Southeast. Now the Harlem-born Dominican 30 year old who rose to global fame in Summer 2020 as Tory Lanez popular DJ during his epic “Quarantine Live Radio” is moving back to the Tri-State Area and preparing to release new music. The new music will feature collaborations with some of today’s hottest artists including Jim Jones, Zoey Dollaz, 42 Dugg, Tory Lanez as well as Latin stars Melii, Rochy Rd, Kiko El Crazy, and Chucky 73.

As one-third of the lustrous legendary Hip Hop faction, The Heavy Hitters (DJ Enuff, DJ Camilo) Flee has carved out his own niche in the Orange State where he thrives at the intersection of Hip Hop and Latin music. Giving a glimpse into his forthcoming music Flee says “I’m definitely bringing the crossover culture with Hip Hop and Spanish music. I’m Dominican but I grew up in the Bronx which basically explains me and who I am today.” Many of the artists featured on the new project come full circle for Flee who first met Florida rapper Zoey Dollaz when he was attending Barry University in Miami. “Zoey encouraged me to follow my dreams. He told me to make a plan, work hard, and do not give up. I mean, I know this sounds cliché’, but I felt what he said and I carried his words of wisdom with me.” Fast forward a decade and the two of them have linked on the song “Spanish Mami” also featuring Jim Jones.

In May of last year, Tory Lanez recruited Flee again to be the DJ during his “Social Distancing Tour” on Youtube so it was only apropos that he called up the Grammy-nominated Rapper/Singer to partner on new music. In fact, Flee credits Lanez for catapulting him to an echelon where he was noticed by Juan “OG” Perez. Perez signed Flee last year to Roc Nation and says “You’re going to be great just keep tearing up the clubs and stay focused.”  Flee says the sound will be experimentation with trendy genres like Dirty South and Gangsta but with the bounce of West Coast. He will also release some records in the Dembow genre, which blends Dancehall with his Dominican roots

Discovered by the same legends responsible for presenting the world to today’s legends from across the country like DJ Lobo, Bootleg Kev, and DJ Enuff. Flee has quickly become one of the most notable faces of the brand with his fast-growing fanbase and credible ear for breaking the undeniable next superstars from the South to the East coast. Citing his biggest influences as his mentor Prince Markie Dee (The Fat Boys) Flee says of the legend, “We worked together at Booby Trap on the River in Miami and he taught me the Strip club game, we used to be together every night he was like Batman and I was Robin. He died one day before his birthday, and 2 days before mine.”

Last year, Flee linked with rap mogul 50 Cent who was so impressed with the DJ that he offered him a liquor ambassadorship with his cognac Branson and his champagne Le Chemin du Roi. Currently Flee can be seen spinning at his residency at Miami’s Booby Trap on the River where he’s worked for the past 3 years but plans to expand to new nightclubs in a move back to New York.

For a music aficionado who started out his career at the tender age of 18 promoting parties in NYC and Jersey, DJ Bodega Flee has come a long way to now being embraced into Jay-Z’s The Roc where the mogul recently said, “Welcome to the family, keep up the good work.”

Dusty Edinger crackle tension into rock electricity with latest release “We Outshine”

Dusty Edinger

In “We Outshine,” Dusty Edinger considers the emotional costs of giving everything you have to a relationship, and what else you might have to give. The first line carries a sense of uncertainty, “I gave you everything I’ve got, not sure what I’ve got left.” Simple but revealing statement, putting exhaustion and vulnerability at the heart of the track.

The lyrics heighten the emotional tension as Edinger sings, “Don’t you see there’s no easy answer I’m starting to break. And that feeling of being trapped, no way out, that’s what gives the tension in the song. Another vivid image is the sound of the other person in the narrator’s head, like “a runaway train”. Together, the lines create a sense of a relationship moving at a pace the narrator cannot emotionally sustain.

“We Outshine” brings that conflict into a full-band setting, with catchy drums and bass propelling the performance. The arrangement adds weight without losing the song’s emotional heart, the groove. The writing feels tentative. It’s a song about the moment when something starts to fall apart, all of a sudden.

Tabi Harlowe captures the ache behind attraction with latest release “So Pretty (It Hurts)”

Tabi Harlowe‘s latest release, “So Pretty (It Hurts)” opens up with soft guitar, dreamy vocals and  plucked guitar. It explores the complex emotion of wanting someone so much and feeling it in a way that is hard to explain. The subdued arrangement gives the song a subtle character.

Candle in my window long after midnight is a great opener that immediately gives off a late-at-night vibe, and the emotional tension becomes more intimate with “you look so pretty yet it hurts my stomach.” And that’s what that song’s about, that juxtaposition of beauty and discomfort. There’s that feeling Harlowe has of being pulled towards someone, of carrying an ache that won’t heal. “I want you to go with me everywhere.” And that makes the desire all the plainer.

Also, it’s emotionally naked, the image of standing there with “my hands wide open” hoping the other person will get it one day. The song “So Pretty (It Hurts)” uses its softness to carry the weight of uncertainty and longing in the lyrics rather than its force. It’s a tender look at attraction, and that awkward in-between space of wanting someone and waiting for them to get it.
