What is <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong><br />
<strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> is an organization<br />
dedicated to<br />
promoting domestic as<br />
well as international Indie and/or<br />
little know artists from all genres of<br />
music to the awaiting masses. We<br />
use several vehicles to promote the<br />
artists’ work, such as:<br />
<strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong>’ blog, which can be<br />
found at www.misfittunes.blogspot.<br />
com , receives thousands of views<br />
daily from all around the country.<br />
We also boast international visitors<br />
from places like Canada, the UK,<br />
Ireland, and Jamaica, to name a<br />
few. We update the blog weekly<br />
with new music and videos.<br />
Why does <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> do it<br />
We do it for two main reasons:<br />
1. We do it for the LOVE of the<br />
music. <strong>The</strong> current top 40 selection<br />
leaves <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> wanting<br />
more from music, which is why we<br />
promote indie and/or little known<br />
artists. <strong>The</strong> music industry has<br />
become so saturated with clones<br />
that the music has gotten lost in<br />
translation or merely forgotten. We<br />
believe it our duty to keep good<br />
music relevant!<br />
2. We do it to change the industry.<br />
It is our belief that the industry has<br />
become too much about money and<br />
no longer about the art of creating<br />
music. With the current state of<br />
the economy and the advent of so<br />
many free internet tools to make<br />
music, it’s now the perfect time to<br />
usher industry change.<br />
Now that you know who <strong>Misfit</strong><br />
<strong>Tunes</strong> are and what we do, we<br />
would like to invite you to build a<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />

promotional merchandise you can<br />

running contests to get people to<br />
engage more with the artists as<br />
well as <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong>. <strong>The</strong> more<br />

Outta Sight Outta Mind is<br />
the latest mixtape offering<br />
from Washington,<br />
DC rapper B-Jay Banks. <strong>The</strong><br />
mixtape displays all facets of<br />
the talented Mr. Banks, from<br />
his undeniable flow to his calculated<br />
production. <strong>The</strong> mixtape<br />
is masterfully arranged.<br />
Built of thirteen solid tracks<br />
the mixtape from start to finish<br />
takes the listener on a ride<br />
not soon to be forgotten.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mixtape paints the picture<br />
of a young man forced to<br />
grow up fast and become the<br />
man of the house. It tells of<br />
the young man acquiring his<br />
first gun, becoming a stick up<br />
boy then graduating to whipping<br />
up packages in the kitchen.<br />
“Outta Sight Outta Mind”<br />
also warns of supporting and<br />
believing fake rappers who<br />
rap about life on the block,<br />
yet have never stepped foot on<br />
the block. It also tells of the<br />
young man finding true love.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opening track,<br />
‘NKODB,’ produced By<br />
B-Jay Banks, starts as most<br />
cats in the hood day starts off;<br />
with their girl going off about<br />
money then goes into telling<br />
of a young dude coming to<br />
age in the trap.<br />
<strong>The</strong> coming of age story<br />
continues with ‘Survive,’ produced<br />
By AM JayEm, tells of<br />
the daily struggle in the hood<br />
to make it. <strong>The</strong> tracks lyrics<br />
“It’s crazy what a young nigga<br />
will do for survival.” and “We<br />
just trying to survive” speak to<br />
anyone out here just trying to<br />
reach a goal while overcoming<br />
countless obstacles.<br />
Cloaked in a metaphor of<br />
whipping up a batch of crack<br />
‘Let Me Whip,’ produced By<br />
Rel Live Beatz, speaks to<br />
rappers daily struggle to avoid<br />
the trap and stay true to the<br />
rap game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> worst thing one can be<br />
is fake and lying to their fans<br />
about the<br />
life they<br />
are living.<br />
‘Tell<br />
No Lie’<br />
featuring<br />
Freddie<br />
P. is<br />
produced<br />
By Beat<br />
Zombies<br />
and<br />
speaks<br />
to the<br />
disdain<br />
B-Jay has<br />
for those<br />
faking<br />
like<br />
they’re<br />
bout that block life.<br />
<strong>The</strong> money, the drugs, and<br />
the women that these fools<br />
worship on their albums ain’t<br />
‘Nothin’ New,’ produced By<br />
Young Clip & Don Gotti.<br />
This mixtape is definitely<br />
buzzworthy from start to<br />
finish each track gives you a<br />
birds-eye view into the life of<br />
not just B-Jay Banks, but anyone<br />
going through the struggle<br />
trying to make it by any<br />
means necessary while staying<br />
out of the system. “Outta<br />
Sight Outta Mind” gets:<br />

While covering the tenth anniversary<br />
of the A3C Festival<br />
in Atlanta, Georgia, I had the<br />
pleasure of catching Latasha Alcindor’s,<br />
aka L.A., performance<br />
during <strong>The</strong> Circuit Showcase.<br />
L.A., the only female rapper<br />
to headline the showcase, stood<br />
in front of the mic wearing all<br />
black from head to toe looking<br />
like the<br />
poster child<br />
for the Afro<br />
Latina movement,<br />
with<br />
the grace and<br />
eloquence<br />
of a queen<br />
perched on<br />
her throne.<br />
She surveyed<br />
the<br />
crowd, I<br />
guessed sizing<br />
them up,<br />
to determine<br />
if they were<br />
ready for the<br />
fire she was<br />
Mixtape::<br />
about to unleash. <strong>The</strong>n without<br />
any warning nor a beat, she<br />
went in!<br />
She had the crowd chanting<br />
lyrics like “get em got em gone’<br />
with such ferocity it began to<br />
sound like a war cry.<br />
Just when you cannot take<br />
another vicious line, she changes<br />
course and begins singing<br />
video::<br />
her hooks with the harmony of<br />
an old soul singer and the easy<br />
caress of a mythological siren.<br />
L.A. held the crowd firmly in<br />
the palm of her hands, mesmerizing<br />
them with her true lyrical<br />
assault.<br />
More than just a pretty face<br />
curvy sista, L.A. is a true entertainer<br />
who is quite comfortable<br />
on stage as<br />
well as commands<br />
the<br />
crowd like a<br />
seasoned vet.<br />
She is a<br />
conscious<br />
rapper with<br />
a message of<br />
female empowerment<br />
and everyday<br />
struggles.<br />
She can also<br />
get the party<br />
started. L.A.<br />
is definitely<br />
one to get to<br />
know.<br />

KNOW<br />
We had the pleasure of<br />
asking Maryland native,<br />
Mia Sparrow a few questions<br />
and enjoyed her answers. After<br />
reading this piece, we are<br />
sure you will have enjoyed<br />
her answers, as well as became<br />
a fan!<br />
Read::Listen::Watch::Enjoy<br />
What are your influences<br />
Musically...Nas, Hov, Drake,<br />
Furious 5. Legendary movies<br />
like Beat Street. Cult classics<br />
like Club Paradise. That’s<br />
actually the inspiration for the<br />
new album.<br />
How did you come up with<br />
your stage name<br />
It’s my name...I’ve had a<br />
few lol! I played around with<br />
Olivia Daye (my middle<br />
name and a fake last name)<br />
and thought about going with<br />
“Mia was here,” which I use<br />
on social media. Sometimes,<br />
I still wish I’d gone with Mia<br />
was here, lol! But in making<br />
LAOD, it was raw emotion.<br />
Five years in 15 tracks. It was<br />
all me. I wanted my name to<br />
be just as honest as the music.<br />
If you were not making music<br />
what would you be doing<br />
Brand managing. Something<br />
in fashion like styling.. I’m<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />
going into politics one day.<br />
Can you see me as Mayor of<br />
DC<br />
Why are you a performer<br />
It’s a necessity really. <strong>The</strong><br />
greatest way for me to grow<br />
my fan base has been performances.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s no studio<br />
or collaborators to help.<br />
Just you, a mic, and a track.<br />
And you make due. I love it<br />
though, whatever has happened<br />
comes out at that show.<br />
Good or bad, it’s always an<br />
honest showing.<br />
How many live performances<br />
have you done<br />
Too many to count. Enough<br />
to know I’ve got a lot more<br />
work to do and that I need to<br />
improve. Best performance...<br />
Karamudc. <strong>The</strong> crowd was<br />
so into it. You could actually<br />
feel the love. It was amazing.<br />
North Carolina is close too.<br />
<strong>The</strong> performances are best<br />
when people can’t take their<br />
eyes off of you. I don’t think<br />
I’ve had my worst yet. Let’s<br />
pray I never do.<br />
Do you love your music<br />
I do love my music. Not from<br />
a perspective of vanity, but<br />
because it’s healed me. I’ve<br />
been through a lot, saw too<br />
much, too young. But music<br />
was God’s gift to me because<br />
it helped me to channel everything<br />
in a way that could<br />
help people who listen. I’m<br />
at my best in the booth, not<br />
because of sheer talent, but<br />
because I’m more vulnerable<br />
and most honest. <strong>The</strong> major<br />
sacrifice has been my ego.<br />
My willingness to tell stories<br />
that won’t allow me to hide<br />
from myself. I am who I am<br />
and I’ve accepted my flaws,<br />
but realized God isn’t finished.<br />
My sacrifice has been<br />
me. Less of me, more of God.<br />
What do your lyrics say about<br />
you/your character<br />
My lyrics say that my character<br />
is in tact. I don’t blame<br />
anyone for my issues. I’ve<br />
been in a few bad situations<br />
and dated a few guys I probably<br />
shouldn’t have, but<br />
no one forced me to stay. I<br />
thought love could inspire<br />
them to change. But the reality<br />
is, you’re never going to<br />
be good enough for a person<br />
who isn’t ready. That isn’t<br />
your fault, but it isn’t really<br />
their fault either. My lyrics<br />
speak to my willingness to be<br />
honest, despite how it makes<br />
me look. I’m not perfect but I<br />
am a good person. I’m proud<br />
of that.<br />
15
How would you describe your<br />
sound/music<br />
Honest...soulful...detailed...<br />
relatable.<br />
What is your most recent<br />
project<br />
Love and Other Drugs is out<br />
now at Miawashere.com and<br />
on Spinrilla, but I’m working<br />
on my new album, Club Paradise<br />
as we speak. It will be<br />
different to say the least, lol!<br />
What are your goals<br />
A billboard, an AMA, an<br />
MTV award (yes, I want one<br />
lol) and a Grammy all in the<br />
same year, then disappear into<br />
publishing.<br />
What is your definition of<br />
success<br />
Enough money to buy time.<br />
Meaning, I don’t have to work<br />
24/7 to enjoy a month out of<br />
the year. I want to work when<br />
I feel inspired and write when<br />
I feel the desire to relax. <strong>The</strong><br />
first billion is the hardest, lol!<br />
How will you know when you<br />
have “made it”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Grammy speech.<br />
What is your mission What<br />
kind of impact, if any, do you<br />
want your music to have on<br />
your fans<br />
Win awards. Build my publishing<br />
company into a major<br />
firm and help to put on deserving<br />
DMV artists. I want<br />
16<br />
my music to be timeless. A<br />
blueprint. I want my fans to<br />
feel like someone understands<br />
them.<br />
What accomplishments and /<br />
or awards have you received<br />
Well, Love and Other Drugs<br />
has over 15,000 downloads,<br />
with no radio support, no<br />
organization backing me, no<br />
management and no label. I’m<br />
cool with the first step. <strong>The</strong><br />
Grammy is coming though,<br />
lol!<br />
Do you have a team behind<br />
you<br />
No comment.<br />
What’s next for you<br />
More shows out of town. Club<br />
Paradise. Expanding my publishing<br />
company.<br />

No Reckless Internet<br />
Posting better<br />
known as No R.I.P.<br />
is a movement started and<br />
led by entertainment mogul<br />
and rapper Waka Flocka’s<br />
mother, Debra Antney. Ms.<br />
Antney and her family have<br />
had documented turbulent relationships<br />
with several blogs<br />
and other media outlets which<br />
have sensationalized stories<br />
to garner popularity for their<br />
site as well as to drive traffic<br />
to the site. <strong>The</strong>se tumultuous<br />
relationships cost Ms Antney<br />
her twenty-two year old son<br />
Caodes “KayO” Scott.<br />
During the 2013 Christmas<br />
Holiday season the stresses<br />
and pressures of the world<br />
forced KayO to do the only<br />
thing he knew to ease the<br />
pain and end his own life.<br />
KayO’s kind heart often wept<br />
due to the malicious, reckless,<br />
and thoughtless people<br />
who spread vicious rumors as<br />
well as fueled harmful gossip<br />
about not only himself but<br />
his mother and other family<br />
members.<br />
Ms. Antney is determined<br />
her son’s silenced voice be<br />
heard by the world! She also<br />
hopes to speak for the millions<br />
of people living through<br />
the same storm while encouraging<br />
positive change in<br />
not just media but also in the<br />
Global Online Community.<br />
“In every test there is testimony.<br />
Through all adversity<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />
there is a lesson to be learned.<br />
And in cleaning up the mess<br />
around us often times you’ll<br />
find a message.” For Ms.<br />
Antney and the supporters<br />
of the No R.I.P. movement<br />
the message is simple… NO<br />
RECKLESS INTERNET<br />
POSTING! NO R.I.P.<br />
What It Means to Pledge No<br />
R.I.P.<br />
* KayO never supported the<br />
saying “Rest in Peace” because<br />
he believed that people<br />
lived on in their spirits<br />
forever. Instead, he would<br />
say “Long Live” to whoever<br />
transitioned on. In loving<br />
memory of Caodes “KayO”<br />
Scott, the No R.I.P. movement<br />
will take on a life of its<br />
own and continue. No R.I.P.<br />
#LLKayO<br />
* When you gossip and<br />
spread rumors and recklessly<br />
post about people’s lives, you<br />
are speaking death - killing<br />
their spirits, killing their reputations,<br />
killing their relationships,<br />
killing their hope and<br />
so much more. Stop speaking<br />
death. No R.I.P.<br />
* We are afforded the rights<br />
of free speech, freedom of the<br />

have a humane responsibility<br />
to each other. As media, we<br />

care for one another. Be<br />
mindful that words do hurt<br />
and can cause damage. Focus<br />
on the positive, not the negative.<br />
Focus on the truth, and<br />
not the gossip and the rumors.<br />
Stop the reckless, hurtful and<br />
destructive gossip. Whether<br />
you are media or the general<br />
public, please post responsibly.<br />
No Reckless Internet<br />
Posting! No R.I.P.<br />

es’ Find<br />
While trying to find a parking<br />
space during the 10th anniversary<br />
of the A3C Festival in<br />
Atlanta, Georgia, an odd pair<br />
caught my eye. One wearing<br />
what appeared to be a pair of<br />
Nike moonboots, with a light<br />
up Swoosh. <strong>The</strong> other a full<br />
body Count Dracula black<br />
cape! Yup! You know once<br />
I parked I followed this pair<br />
down the rabbit hole.<br />
To my surprise, the dude in<br />
the cape was by far the hypest<br />
hype man I had seen all festival,<br />
and the light up boots<br />
belonged to Chicago rapper,<br />
PHOR. Together these two<br />
captivated the crowd immediately,<br />
and not just because of<br />
their oddness.<br />
Phor performed a few songs<br />
that revved the crowd up. He<br />
had a sure presence on stage<br />
that tells me he is not a rookie<br />
in this rap game. Covered<br />
in sweat, he performed a few<br />
crowd favorites from his mixtape,<br />
“Nino.”<br />
I found myself chanting a<br />
few lyrics like “live for the<br />
moment,” “bury me in gold,”<br />
and “like I don’t know no<br />
better” along with the mighty<br />
MC.<br />
If you ever see this odd pair,<br />
I strongly suggest you follow<br />
them to the stage, as I am sure<br />
they will entertain you!<br />
