  Featured Indie Artist: Philadelphia's Blackboy

  Gandhi once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world," and that’s exactly what Ulysses Kae Williams, A.K.A. BlackBoy, is . . . change. After hearing complaints from friends about how there’s no good music anymore, Williams, a Philly Native, set out to adjust that. However, this talented young musician didn’t just want to make good music, he wanted to send a message. Which is what he did with his debut album KooolWorld Williams knows a lot about the music industry, coming from a very successful musical family. His grandfather wrote the number one smash hit 'Get a Job’, for the Philadelphia-based doo-wop group, The Silhouettes, and his father was the founder of the group Breakwater and producer of the disco hit "Catch Me I'm Falling" by Pretty Poison. So it’s no surprise that he produced, wrote, and rapped on every track of KooolWorld. William has made a lot of connections throughout the years and knows how hard it is to break into the music industry. That’s why for the production of this album, Williams didn’t use his famous connects, but instead used unknown artists with amazing talent, and started his own production company called KooolWorld. Why, you might ask, because Williams wanted to let aspiring artist know that you don’t need to name drop or sell your soul to record companies to get a deal. All you have to do is make good quality music and the CD's will sell themselves. That’s why Williams’ album is unlike anything that has ever come from a Philly artist: uplifting, yet you could still dance to it in the clubs. One song in particular “A-list”, on first listen you might think it’s about how girls want to be on the A-list, however it’s a song he wrote with one girl in mind, his wife, and how to him, she will always be on the A-list. And that’s the general idea behind this Album. It’s not all about getting girls, getting money, and shooting people up. This Album has a deeper meaning.

  UNDERGROUND MUSIC -TIME TO BE HEARD

  Why is it that new artists have to go the underground route to be heard? Because of the nonsense going on in the industry and the oversaturation of artists with "bank". We will soon change that. Starting tonight! Join us in welcoming artists who have either never been heard or have been trying to get back on that "ladder".

  HBO: RUSSELL SIMMONS DEF POETRY JAM'S SHANELLE GABRIEL

  

  Shanelle Gabriel has been labeled a virtuosa, and she definitely validates that statement as a soulful singer, a gifted writer, astounding actress, and advocate for Lupus awareness. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she has displayed her skills at colleges and venues across the country. She both opened and featured on the 6th season premier of HBO's Def Poetry Jam along with Jill Scott and DMX. She recorded a nationally televised promo for the 2007 NFL Draft. Shanelle shared the stage with Nas for his 2008 album release concert for "The N Word," and featured in Q-Tip's video for "ManWomanBoogie." She also performed and worked with artists such as Les Nubians, Redman, Erick Sermon, and with comedians such as Rob Stapleton and Michael Blackson. She was a member of the 2006 Nuyorican Poets Cafe National Slam Team and a competitor in the 2007 Individual World Poetry Slam Competition in Vancouver, Canada. Shanelle presently tours the US and abroad, facilitates creative writing workshops throughout New York City and promotes Lupus awareness. Her amazing debut album, "Start Something" fuses Shanelle's skill at spoken word poetry with her soulful, sultry singing. Using her upbeat pop, old school hip-hop, and inspirational soul sound, Shanelle's vibrant personality shines through each word and melody she shares.
