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 />

wonderful working relationship.<br />

FREE of cost for artist. We would<br />

appreciate you sending us your<br />

music, videos, upcoming events,<br />

pictures, and/or any other information<br />

you would like us to share. By<br />

sending an email to <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> at<br />

submissions@misfittunes.com. We<br />

request that you to ask your fans,<br />

followers, and supporters to support<br />

<strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong>. By increasing<br />

our supporters, we can reach more<br />

reach the bigger <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> will<br />

people will be exposed to your music,<br />

which in turn, will potentially<br />

increase your fan base.<br />

We would also like to request any<br />

promotional merchandise you can<br />

spare, as we would like to begin<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 />

people we get to engage with <strong>Misfit</strong><br />

<strong>Tunes</strong>, the better we can serve the<br />

indie market. We fully understand<br />

<strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> need the support of<br />

artists to reach our full potential as<br />

we are nothing without the music!<br />

having an album release, performance,<br />

and/or any event you’d like<br />

us to cover, send us press credentials<br />

or put us on your guest list. If<br />

we are in your area we will gladly<br />

enjoy covering your event. We<br />

want to support all events, however<br />

that can become very costly potentially<br />

taking funds away from the<br />

services we provide since we don’t<br />

charge for our services.<br />

. Make <strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> your #1<br />

source for indie news, music, and<br />

videos.<br />

Remember, we do this for the love<br />

of the music! So if you love your<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 />

<strong>Misfit</strong> Tun<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 />

press, etc. However, we also<br />

have a humane responsibility<br />

to each other. As media, we<br />

encourage all bloggers and<br />

other members of the media<br />

to take the No R.I.P. pledge<br />

and post responsibly on your<br />

site; report responsibly on<br />

your shows. As a community,<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 />

If you are a blogger, media<br />

entity or personality, or other<br />

member of the media, we<br />

invite and encourage you to<br />

take the No R.I.P. pledge. We<br />

simply ask those blog and<br />

R.I.P. pledge to download<br />

the official No R.I.P. logo<br />

and post it to your website<br />

and social media pages - this<br />

logo placement will serve as<br />

a visible badge which lets the<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 />

Mixtape ::<br />
