Fatz Da Big Fella (also<br />
known as Da Big<br />
Fella) hails from the<br />
Nation’s Capital, Washington,<br />
DC. Revered as a respected<br />
player in the DC music scene<br />
he follows up his 2014 streets<br />
approved mixtape, “Fatz Sinatra,”<br />
with the 50 Shades of<br />
Gray of the mixtape world, an<br />
erotic gem titled “Only 4 <strong>The</strong><br />
Ladies.” Just as a busty chested<br />
woman pops buttons on a<br />
too small top, this mixtape is<br />
bursting at the seams!<br />
“Only 4 <strong>The</strong> Ladies” was<br />
released on February 13, <strong>2015</strong><br />
via Spinrilla. It maintains an<br />
even flow throughout the entire<br />
project taking the listener<br />
on a racy roller coaster ride<br />
with the intentions to make<br />
you want to scream. Fatz Da<br />
Big Fella’s lazy flow can be<br />
compared to Bun B or other<br />
southern rappers. Da Big<br />
Fella is certainly not bashful<br />
to share how he will grab his<br />
woman by the waist and eat<br />
her from behind. Nor does he<br />
mind letting the listener know<br />
he knows his way around the<br />
bedroom, as it is pretty much<br />
the theme of “Only 4 <strong>The</strong><br />
Ladies.”<br />
Several dynamic producers<br />
worked tirelessly on the<br />
mixtape. <strong>The</strong> producers that<br />
crafted this gem are BuBu,<br />
Chris Heist, Diesel Beats,<br />
Don Amos, Endustretz, Mark<br />
Henry, <strong>The</strong> Directors, Tom<br />
Davids, and Tone P.<br />
Fatz Da Big Fella also had<br />
many of his talented counterparts<br />
featured on the mixtape.<br />
Such amazing talents as<br />
DeAngelo Redman, Krayzo,<br />
Eastman Osborne, Tre, Tone<br />
P, PinkyKillaCorn, Dino Bam,<br />
Savannah, Shorty Da Prince,<br />
Brian Angel, JusPaul, Scooby,<br />
Lyquin, Main Girl, Kevin<br />
Ross, Boobe,<br />
and Ay-Rock.<br />
All fourteen<br />
tracks<br />
on “Only 4<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ladies”<br />
will make<br />
you want to<br />
hit the repeat<br />
button. With<br />
that being said<br />
here are a few<br />
standout tracks:<br />
(1) “From<br />
<strong>The</strong> City”<br />
is produced<br />
by Diesel<br />
Beats features<br />
Krayzo<br />
and Eastman<br />
Osborne, is a tour of the city<br />
and all its lovely ladies. It is<br />
certain to be a crowd favorite!<br />
You will definitely hear “From<br />
<strong>The</strong> City” bumping from cars<br />
heating up the cold streets.<br />
(2) “Come Here Girl” is<br />
produced by <strong>The</strong> Directors.<br />
It features Pinky KillaCorn<br />
and Eastman Osborne and is<br />
possibly the sexist track on<br />
the album. “I’m tonguing<br />
her down, she biting my lip,”<br />
growls Fatz Da Big Fella in<br />
his easy lazy flow. Eastman<br />
Osborne once again slithers<br />
4<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com
Only 4 <strong>The</strong> Ladies<br />
vocally “temperatures rising<br />
no room from hiding ... you<br />
got me excited...so come here<br />
girl...” Pinky KillaCorn Corn<br />
drops napalm on the track<br />
with her lyrics “Poppy turn<br />
the music up cuz it’s going<br />
down...fucks you up cuz I be<br />
bustin’ nuts that make you<br />
call back.”<br />
(3) “Lay Up” is produced by<br />
<strong>The</strong> Directors. It’s a catchy<br />
song featuring Scooby, about<br />
spending the day wrapped up.<br />
Scooby delivers a soulful seductive<br />
chorus, “I wanna lay<br />
up lay up... we grown as fuck<br />
girl I know what you want...I<br />
am not stressing you but<br />
this bed was made for two,”<br />
between Fatz Da Big Fella’s<br />
verses telling his woman how<br />
he is going to satisfy every<br />
inch of her body. This is the<br />
song you want to play riding<br />
around town with your boo.<br />
(4) “Believe” is produced<br />
by Don Amos and features<br />
DeAngelo Redman. It is an<br />
ode to Fatz Da Big Fella’s<br />
lady. “Baby hold me up and<br />
I’ll hold you down” “keep it<br />
real from the jump and loyal<br />
to the end...my girl like Cookie<br />
with this empire...”<br />
Fatz Da Big Fella mixes witty<br />
pop culture references with<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />
blatant direct request to bed<br />
a woman to deliver a solid<br />
project that highlights great<br />
production and tiptop features.<br />
“Only 4 <strong>The</strong> Ladies” contains<br />
strong explicit language. This<br />
is not the mixtape to play<br />
during a ride out with your<br />
grandmother.<br />
Fatz Da Big Fella proves<br />
once again why he is a revered<br />
player in the DC music<br />
scene with delivering such<br />
a follow up project. I would<br />
strongly encourage you to add<br />
this mixtape to your collection<br />
(click cover below to download).<br />
“Only 4 <strong>The</strong> Ladies” earns<br />
three and a half out of five<br />

his one time in <strong>The</strong> A<br />
I was out exploring<br />
the historical section<br />
of Atlanta GA known as<br />
Sweet Auburn when came<br />
across Sweet Auburn Seafood.<br />
Sweet Auburn Seafood<br />
is one of Atlanta’s premier<br />
seafood restaurants, located<br />
at 171 P Auburn Ave in the<br />
historical Auburn Street area.<br />
It offers a delicious and innovative<br />
menu created by celebrity<br />
Chef Sammy Davis. Chef<br />
Davis has been ordained one<br />
of Atlanta’s culinary superstars<br />
making Sweet Auburn<br />
Seafood a must have, as well<br />
as the perfect venue for QT<br />
Entertainment to kick off<br />
their Hang Suite Series. QT<br />
Entertainment is an Atlanta<br />
based, all female marketing/<br />
promotions firm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> night’s vibe was easy<br />
and laid back. <strong>The</strong> crowd<br />
mingled and took in the artwork<br />
and the bartenders created<br />
cocktail and other drinks<br />
from Status Vodka made to<br />
stand up to the delicious edible<br />
gems on the plates.<br />
With an inviting atmosphere,<br />
textures, warm<br />
colors, and sleek furnishings,<br />
Sweet Auburn Seafood<br />
was the perfect pairing<br />
for the 90’s kickback<br />
soundtrack Fleet DJs’ DJ<br />
Kalisemo provided. <strong>The</strong><br />
lovely Carrie Michelle,<br />
hostess and founder of QT<br />
Entertainment, was the red<br />
velvet rope that led those in<br />
attendance down a musical<br />
trail paved with stimulating<br />
artwork by Aspernaut,<br />
as well as great talents like<br />
YMCMB recording artist<br />
Veronica V., Visto, Rantz Davis,and<br />
Kevin Caterz.<br />
Overall, the night featured<br />
artwork from multiple artistic<br />
platforms which created<br />
an unforgettable event. <strong>The</strong><br />
Hang Suite is a monthly<br />
event brought to you by QT<br />
Entertainment, which I would<br />
strongly encourage you to<br />
attend if you are in the Atlanta<br />
area. I am looking forward<br />
to next month’s and if you are<br />
too don’t meet me there beat<br />
me there! Be sure to reserve a<br />
table as they are the best seat<br />
in the house and rightfully so<br />
go fast!!!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Man Behind<br />
the Music<br />
n a surprisingly warm<br />
and pleasant winter<br />
day in Atlanta, GA, I<br />
find myself pulling up to a traditional<br />
craftsman style home<br />
on a dead end street nestled<br />
alongside a set of railroad<br />
tracks. <strong>The</strong> sound of dogs<br />
barking mixed with a passing<br />
train greets me as I approach<br />
the door. I ring the bell and<br />
was welcomed into the Hippie<br />
House by Visto.<br />
Crossing the threshold, I<br />
was expecting to find Nagchampa<br />
incense burning, sexy<br />
hipstresses scattered around<br />
the room, and jars of exotic<br />
hippie medicine, also known<br />
as Marijuana but better<br />
known as weed, stacked floor<br />
to ceiling. I know, sounds crazy<br />
yet when you consider the<br />
fact that it is Visto the Hippie<br />
King I’m interviewing, most<br />
would expect pretty much the<br />
same thing. However, to my<br />
surprise there was no weed<br />
stacked from floor to ceiling<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />
nor were there naked women<br />
roaming around. For all accounts<br />
Visto is an everyday<br />
man just like many others out<br />
here trying to live.<br />
One wall of the modest<br />
dwelling had a huge Bob<br />
Marley poster constructed<br />
of Marley album covers and<br />
the adjacent wall held a purple<br />
floor to<br />
ceiling Ying<br />
Yang flag. A<br />
coffee table<br />
set in the<br />
middle of the<br />
floor holding<br />
a healthy<br />
plant basting in the sunlight<br />
pouring in from the only window<br />
in the room.<br />
We got comfortable on a<br />
sofa set against a wall with<br />
the patented Hippie Life Krew<br />
monogram etched in the center.<br />
We shared an easy conversation<br />
where Visto opened<br />
up and spoke freely, as well<br />
as passionately, about topics<br />
“I don’t want a<br />
baby mama. I<br />
want a family!”<br />
ranging from young Visto,<br />
to his relationship with his<br />
parents, to the importance of<br />
education (even though he<br />
himself dropped out in high<br />
school). We talked about his<br />
desire to have a family of his<br />
own and the new church.<br />
Visto (real name Travis)<br />
originally hails from Norfolk,<br />
VA (but later<br />
relocated to<br />
DC) and was<br />
a shy, quiet<br />
loner in high<br />
school. He<br />
often felt like<br />
an outcast,<br />
maneuvering the halls with<br />
his head down to avoid making<br />
eye contact, although he<br />
seemed to always befriend<br />
the cool kids. Oblivious to<br />
the plethora of secret crushes<br />
girls had on him, Visto had<br />
one goal. One single focus<br />
that manifested early in his<br />
life. That goal was to become<br />
a star.<br />
9
At the age of only six, Visto<br />
exhibited a strong will and<br />
great discipline by calling Bad<br />
Boy Records everyday for one<br />
year. He was resolved to call<br />
until someone<br />
answered. And<br />
answer someone<br />
did. “It<br />
was well after<br />
midnight,”<br />
Visto recounted.<br />
He took the<br />
call as being<br />
the sign he<br />
needed to keep<br />
going. He remembered<br />
the<br />
woman who<br />
answered was<br />
very pleasant<br />
and helpful.<br />
She provided<br />
him with information<br />
he<br />
would later<br />
use to further<br />
propel his lofty<br />
goal of changing<br />
the world<br />
through music.<br />
Having gotten through to<br />
Bad Boy Records, young Visto<br />
now approached music with<br />
more focus and determination.<br />
He would rehearse dance<br />
routines he choreographed for<br />
hours in his bedroom. It was<br />
during one of those rehearsals<br />
when his father told him<br />
something that fuels him to<br />
this day. “I was in my room<br />
dancing my ass off in the<br />
10<br />
mirror when I saw my father’s<br />
reflection. He scared the hell<br />
out of me [laughing]! He was<br />
getting ready to head back to<br />
Virginia and he told me I was<br />
going to be a star one day.”<br />
Those are the last words, “You<br />
are going to be a star,” father<br />
and son shared. Visto’s father<br />
died shortly after returning to<br />
Virginia.<br />
<strong>The</strong> death of his father<br />
forced Visto to be the man<br />
of the house. A role he took<br />
rather seriously. He dropped<br />
out of high school to get a<br />
job to help his ailing mother<br />
make ends meet. Even in<br />
his new role as man of the<br />
house, Visto could not shake<br />
his father’s words. He told his<br />
mother he was going to be a<br />
singer. “She laughed me out,”<br />
Visto recalled. “It really<br />
pissed me off.” Deciding<br />
he could no longer<br />
wait and using his anger<br />
to push him, Visto went<br />
into the studio on a<br />
mission to create a masterpiece.<br />
Unfortunately,<br />
what was produced was<br />
“Burgundy Walls,” a<br />
hurried, sub-par project<br />
with a couple of decent<br />
tracks that showed Visto<br />
had potential.<br />
After going back to<br />
the drawing board,<br />
Visto went back into the<br />
studio and twenty-four<br />
hours later, “Before<br />
Euphoria” was birthed.<br />
“Before Euphoria” is<br />
credited with kicking<br />
off the Hippie Life<br />
movement. Released in<br />
August 2013 the album<br />
boasted such hits as “How<br />
That Pxssy Taste,” “Wakin<br />
Bakin,” “Acapulco Gold,” and<br />
fan favorite “Everything Gorgeous.”<br />
Visto seemingly appeared<br />
overnight with his hit<br />
project. Even though it was<br />
not his first release, “Before<br />
Euphoria” was the spark Visto<br />
needed to catapult him to the<br />
top of the DC music scene.<br />
Visto openly admits his<br />
Hippie persona is his means<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com
has thoughts on education, but<br />
on religion as well. Growing<br />
up in a religious household,<br />
Visto recalls going to church<br />
on Sunday mornings and then<br />
seeing the church clergy out<br />
in the neighborhoods. “<strong>The</strong>y<br />
don’t do that anymore. Church<br />
ain’t what it used to be.”<br />
Nowadays, Visto considers<br />
himself to be more spiritual<br />
than religious and seeks his<br />
own relationship with a higher<br />
being.<br />
Having no children of his<br />
there is no special woman<br />
in his life currently, Visto is<br />
open and ready to settle down<br />
if the right one comes along.<br />
“I don’t want a baby mama.<br />
I want a family!” Visto says<br />
with conviction. No specific<br />
type. A “fat ass and titties,”<br />
is what he’s into. But most<br />
importantly, she would have<br />
to understand that he and the<br />
music are a package deal.<br />
If you ask Visto how will<br />
he know when he’s “made it”,<br />
he’ll tell you he already has. It<br />
of “getting rid of stress and<br />
shit I’m going through. In real<br />
life I’m just living, breathing,<br />
fucking up and eating noodles<br />
like everybody else,” Visto<br />
says with a smile. He is a deep<br />
thinker that daily seeks to find<br />
his way through everyday life<br />
situations. Even though he<br />
himself dropped out of high<br />
school, Visto finds great importance<br />
in education. But not<br />
just the traditional kind. Visto<br />
believes that children should<br />
not only be educated by teachers,<br />
but that parents should<br />
also take a lead role. After all,<br />
who better to teach their history<br />
than those who have lived<br />
it? He believes in not only<br />
feeding the logical mind, but<br />
also in cultivating the artistic<br />
minds of the children.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hippie King not only<br />
may not seem that way to you,<br />
but once his mother showed<br />
her pride for his feature in the<br />
Washington Post, withstood<br />
her pain for his sold out, headlining<br />
show at <strong>The</strong> Fillmore<br />
Silver Spring, and having<br />
his mentally ill sister (who<br />
doesn’t sing anything but Bewww.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />
own, Visto often fantasizes<br />
about the type of father he<br />
would be. He sees himself as<br />
the type of father who will<br />
always have his kids by his<br />
side. <strong>The</strong> type of father that<br />
gets up to do his daughters<br />
hair for school and teaches his<br />
son how to be a man. While<br />

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 />

<strong>Tunes</strong> are and what we do, we<br />

yonce) singing “On Fleek,” to<br />
him, that was it. Although the<br />
awards would be nice, they<br />
are not his main goal.<br />
Visto doesn’t do music for<br />
popularity, but for a purpose.<br />
One of his main goals, like<br />
most mama’s boys, is to buy<br />
his mom a house so that she<br />
can rest just a little bit. Although<br />
16<br />
he<br />
knows<br />
that this<br />
a big<br />
goal<br />
and that<br />
he has<br />
to work hard to achieve it, he<br />
often feels guilty leaving his<br />
mother to do music while she<br />
continues to work. Even on<br />
days when she has dialysis.<br />
“All I ask for is respect for my<br />
work ethic,” he states.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man behind the music<br />
also has a few people behind<br />
him as well. <strong>The</strong> Queen Hipstress<br />
of Hippie Life Krew<br />
(HLK), Pinky KillaCorn, is<br />
the lyrical ying to his yang.<br />
She is his sister in music and<br />
always willing to lend her<br />
vocals. <strong>The</strong>y most recently<br />
collaborated on the newly<br />
dropped single “What Hippie<br />
What.” Also supporting<br />
Visto are his musical brothers<br />
and HLK members Eazy and<br />
Bonnie Rash. Others include<br />
his managers Melissa of<br />
Maniiifest and Greg Calloway<br />
of Defient Entertainment,<br />
DC’s own Raheem DeVaughn,<br />
DJ Chris Styles of 95.5<br />
WPGC (DC), Conan of 92Q<br />
(Baltimore), and the Morgan<br />
State University radio station<br />
88.9 WEAA. Of course Visto<br />
wouldn’t be able to fulfill his<br />
dreams if not for his amazing<br />
and loyal fans. Fans that<br />
will travel<br />
“She laughed me out!<br />
It really pissed me<br />
off!”<br />
from hours<br />
away just to<br />
watch him<br />
live on any<br />
stage.<br />
Gone<br />
are the days<br />
of being laughed out by his<br />
mom. With his fathers words<br />
planted firmly in mind, Visto<br />
went from opening act at<br />
the Fillmore to headlining at<br />
the Fillmore, to performing<br />
on some of the best stages at<br />
SXSW.<br />
Visto is fortunate to be<br />
doing what he loves. He is<br />
the true epitome of a hippie.<br />
His biggest wish? “Only love<br />
and peace for everyone in the<br />
world!” And he makes that<br />
statement with the utmost<br />
sincerity and the biggest smile<br />
he’s had all day.<br />

ower Of Water<br />
H20<br />
WATER has<br />
seen a surge<br />
in popularity yet it is still often the<br />
last drink choice. Every day, we<br />
lose 2-3 quarts of water through<br />
urination, sweating and breathing.<br />
Since many of the processes within<br />
the body rely greatly on water, it<br />
is important we replace our fluids<br />
regularly to compensate for this<br />
loss.<br />
For the human body, water is<br />
truly a vital resource. You can go<br />
weeks without food but only 5-7<br />
days without water. When the<br />
water in your body is reduced by<br />
just 1 percent, you become thirsty.<br />
At 5 percent, muscle strength and<br />
endurance declines significantly<br />
and you become hot and tired.<br />
When the loss reaches 10 percent,<br />
delirium and blurred vision occur.<br />
A 20 percent reduction results in<br />
death.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no more important<br />
nutrient for our bodies than water.<br />
No other substance is as widely<br />
involved in the processes and<br />
make up of the body. A man’s<br />
body is about 60 percent water,<br />
and a woman’s is approximately<br />
50 percent.<br />
Your body is made up of about<br />
60 percent water. Water is essential<br />
for removing waste from your<br />
body, keeping tissues moist and<br />
carrying nutrients to cells. You<br />
also need water to keep you full,<br />
protect your teeth and aid in digestion.<br />
To reap the benefits, men usually<br />
need about 13 cups of water<br />
daily, while women require about<br />
9 cups. However, your specific<br />
needs may vary if you live in a hot<br />
climate or exercise regularly.<br />
Top 9 Benefits of<br />
Drinking Water:<br />
1. Increases Energy & Relieves<br />
Fatigue :: Since your brain is<br />
mostly water, drinking it helps you<br />
think, focus and concentrate better<br />
and be more alert. As an added<br />
bonus, your energy levels are also<br />
boosted!<br />
2. Promotes Weight Loss ::<br />
Removes by-products of fat,<br />
reduces eating intake (by filling<br />
up your tummy if consumed prior<br />
to meals), reduces hunger (hello<br />
natural appetite suppressant!), raises<br />
your metabolism and has zero<br />
calories!<br />
3. Flushes Out Toxins :: Gets<br />
rid of waste through sweat and<br />
urination which reduces the risk of<br />
kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary<br />
tract infections).<br />
4. Improves Skin Complexion<br />
:: Moisturizes your skin, keeps it<br />
fresh, soft, glowing and smooth.<br />
Gets rid of wrinkles. It’s the best<br />
anti-aging treatment around!<br />
5. Maintains Regularity :: Aids<br />
in digestion as water is essential<br />
to digest your food and prevents<br />
constipation.<br />
6. Boosts Immune System :: A<br />
water guzzler is less likely to get<br />
sick. And who wouldn’t rather feel<br />
healthy the majority of the time?<br />
Drinking plenty of water helps<br />
fight against flu, cancer and other<br />
ailments like heart attacks.<br />
7. Natural Headache Remedy<br />
:: Helps relieve and prevent headaches<br />
(migraines & back pains<br />
too!) which are commonly caused<br />
by dehydration.<br />
8. Prevents Cramps & Sprains<br />
:: Proper hydration helps keep<br />
joints lubricated and muscles more<br />
elastic so joint pain is less likely.<br />
9. Puts You in a Good Mood ::<br />
When the body is functioning at<br />
its best, you will feel great and be<br />
happy!<br />

KNOW<br />
I<br />
was born and raised in Brooklyn,<br />
NY, but I’ve lived in NC<br />
as well. I don’t give out my<br />
government name so please just<br />
address me as Tamara Bubble.<br />
Tamara is my name. Bubble was<br />
given to me for so many reasons.<br />
My personality is very bubbly.<br />
I’m generally in a good mood and<br />
always laughing and smiling. I<br />
got the name bubble for physical<br />
reasons too ... ahem ... I’m pretty<br />
well rounded.<br />
I’m giving my self 3 years to get<br />
1 Grammy, 1 Oscar and 1 songwriter<br />
award. Short term and long<br />
term I want to connect with and<br />
build my fan-base. I feed off their<br />
energy and support. It’s motivating.<br />
I enjoy meeting new people<br />
and entertaining them, it doesn’t<br />
even feel like work when you’re<br />
have this much fun.<br />
If I had only 3 words to describe<br />
my sound, I’d say real, raw, and<br />
undefined. If I had only 3 words to<br />
describe my songwriting, I’d say<br />
powerful, comical and sexy. I just<br />
make music that’s real to me because<br />
that’s what people can relate<br />
to. Music you can laugh to, cry to,<br />
dance to, make babies to, all that<br />
good stuff.<br />
If I was not making music I<br />
would have a career in accounting.<br />
I took one class in high school<br />
and it was easy so I majored in it<br />
in college. I even passed my CPA<br />
exam and got my license, but it<br />
just wasn’t my calling. So here I<br />
am with EPs under my belt and<br />
Grammy within reach!<br />
I got into the music industry<br />
because of songwriting although I<br />
have been singing in church since<br />
I was old enough to remember<br />
being in church. I was more focused<br />
on modeling and acting until<br />
I met a producer at a photoshoot.<br />
I sang for him and he asked if I<br />
songwriter too? I said “I do now”<br />
and I went home that night after<br />
the photoshoot and wrote 10 songs<br />
in 2 hours. I’ve been hooked ever<br />
since.<br />
I have a gospel background. I<br />
grew up singing in church so I<br />
definitely have a soulful sound/<br />
influence. I love harmonies in my<br />
music and it’s because I listened<br />
to ALL the 90s R&B groups (male<br />
and female): Brownstone, SWV,<br />
En Vogue, 702, 112, Jodeci, Boyz<br />
II Men. You name it I listened to<br />
it. I attribute my rap influence to<br />
Biggie Smalls, he’s the reason<br />
that I respect lyricism in hip hop<br />
and I love his storytelling and<br />
flow. When it comes to Jazz,<br />
Ella Fitzgerald is THE REASON<br />
why I scat to this day. I still go on<br />
youtube and listen to her voice. I<br />
like Lena Horne too. Also, when<br />
it comes to Pop and overall stage<br />
performance, Michael Jackson<br />
does it for me!<br />
Michael Jackson holds two of my<br />
top three albums of all times. My<br />
top three are “Bad” by Michael<br />
Jackson and “<strong>The</strong> Miseducation<br />
of Lauryn Hill” by Lauryn Hill.<br />
You know now I think about it I<br />
actually don’t have a third all time<br />
favorite ... maybe Thriller by Michael<br />
Jackson, but “BAD” is definitely<br />
my all time favorite album<br />
ever ever ever! I really can’t even<br />
explain why and shouldn’t have<br />
to .. it’s Michael Jackson! I love<br />
Lauryn Hill because she’s a singer,<br />
rapper, musician and her content<br />
was positive and she’s a female<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />

too. Her music has had a really big<br />
influence on me.<br />
I always say if I can influence<br />
or inspire just one person, I’ll be<br />
satisfied. I want my fans to be great<br />
people and do great things and I’ll<br />
simply provide the soundtrack to<br />
their lives.<br />
“Living It Up” is my latest EP.<br />
It’s a 6 track EP that was originally<br />
called “Where Babies Come From”<br />
because the songs are definitely<br />
about love and sex, but I wanted to<br />
dig a little deeper on this EP and<br />
explain how all these babies actually<br />
got here. Babies come from<br />
somebody in the club you just met<br />
and don’t even know their name,<br />
babies come from cheating, babies<br />
magically come home war, all these<br />
things! I changed the name to the<br />
lead single, “Living It Up” at the<br />
last minute because pretty much<br />
sums up how all these babies got<br />
here. I am not afraid to take control<br />
of all aspects of my musical career!<br />
When the topic of signing a<br />
major deal or staying independent<br />
and have total control over your<br />
music arise I take creative control<br />
for $200 Bob lol I enjoy the indie<br />
life!!! I doubt I’ll ever shelf myself<br />
haha, but I also doubt I’ll ever stop<br />
promoting myself or be a lazy artist<br />
so I don’t think I’d have issues with<br />
a major. I just prefer to be able to<br />
wake up and drop a jazz single and<br />
then when I get good and ready<br />
24<br />
drop a rap freestyle video. My fans<br />
love the versatility. <strong>The</strong>y especially<br />
love when I blend the genres. A lot<br />
of times I’ll rap, sing, and scat all<br />
on one track. I think if I do any<br />
business with a major, it’ll be a<br />
(SILENT) partnership or investor<br />
type situation. I really just need<br />
an investor to cut the check and<br />
sit back and watch me work that<br />
return for them.<br />
I have a small team of HARD<br />
WORKERS, myself included. I<br />
have excellent management. S/O<br />
2 P.Spell Management. Special<br />
thanks to my make up artist Silhouette<br />
Beauty, my graphic designer<br />
and website admin. I’m my own<br />
stylist, but I rock with KrazyFigz<br />
for music production for my major<br />
projects and Manny Mac for my<br />
videos. It is these hard workers that<br />
keeps me grounded.<br />
I am always asked how will I<br />
know I made it. If it will be when<br />
I get to work with the likes of :<br />
Lauryn Hill, J. Cole, Joell Ortiz,<br />
Jazmine Sullivan, Lil Kim and<br />
John Legend. Or when I get to remake<br />
We Dem Boyz by Wiz Khalifa.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact is I won’t know when<br />
I “made it.” I’ll wait until you guys<br />
(the media and my supporters) tell<br />
me so much that I can no longer<br />
deny it. Even then, I’ll pretend you<br />
all are lying so I stay motivated and<br />
remain humble.<br />
Most people think because I<br />
am in the music industry I like<br />
being surrounded by people all<br />
the time. My supporters would be<br />
surprised to find out I’m a very<br />
private person that hide a lot from<br />
my fans, but I’ve recently started<br />
releasing one secret a week which<br />
I like to call #TuesdayConfessions.<br />
I post it on my facebook page,<br />
twitter and IG (all @TamaraBubble)<br />
on Tuesday mornings and try<br />
not to talk about it anywhere else<br />
lol. I’m a little upset because my<br />
fans have been stingy with theirs.<br />
I’m doing most of the talking and<br />
they haven’t really been sharing<br />
their confessions, but hopefully,<br />
once they’re comfortable, it won’t<br />
just be me. If you keep too many<br />
secrets in you’ll go crazy. I enjoy<br />
laughing and smiling so If you can<br />
keep me laughing, we can definitely<br />
be friends!<br />

KNOW<br />
I AM<br />
Patrick<br />
Jr.<br />
Goins<br />
I was born in Hamilton, Ohio an<br />
raised in the Cincinnati, Ohio area<br />
through out all my teen years.<br />
I came up with the name Saga<br />
first because I wanted a name that<br />
fitted my vision which as the meaning<br />
Saga in the dictionary means<br />
to always continue an a journey an<br />
long live non stop story. Because<br />
after I’m gone my epic story will<br />
continue to live on. Also I came up<br />
with my own definition meaning<br />
success always gains attention. An<br />
later later I added the great simply<br />
because everything I do an want<br />
to be remembered as is something<br />
great a great Influence to the world.<br />
My influences are just basically<br />
everyday life from my emotional<br />
an joyful experiences that I have<br />
encountered or witnessed. I’m<br />
highly influenced by others as well<br />
I just simply have a open mind<br />
from learning from other people.<br />
What made me choose to get in<br />
the music industry was basically<br />
the passion to speak to the world<br />
in a wide way that can talk to<br />
people’s lives. I feel like I’m that<br />
voice that’s different an convincing<br />
for people to truly understand an<br />
relate to. If I was not doing music I<br />
honestly don’t know what I would<br />
be doing because my passion for<br />
music is just so pure. Maybe if I<br />
wasn’t as passionate about music I<br />
could come up with something.<br />
I consider myself a very versatile<br />
artists from a conscious rapper to<br />
a energetic aggressive heart felt<br />
lyricist. Delivering witty an passionate<br />
word play to paint a picture<br />
of where I’m coming from in life.<br />
I feel like I can do anything from<br />
laid back music to great club music<br />
an storytelling. I do not limit the<br />
distance I can take my sound. My<br />
Top three albums that have influenced<br />
me as artist to do what I’m<br />
doing now growing up were Jay<br />
Z the “Black Album,” T.I. “Urban<br />
Legend,” and probably the “Carter<br />
II” by Lil Wayne.<br />
My latest project is the 2013<br />
mixtape “This Aint Music This Is<br />
Life” Vol.2 which I released a few<br />
years ago available on Datpiff.com.<br />
lately I just been focused on just<br />
consistently creating good music an<br />
singles an more importantly putting<br />
out a lot of music videos for<br />
my fans to really get closer to my<br />
appearance an personality videos<br />
which can be viewed on my You-<br />
Tube page - Saga <strong>The</strong> Great.<br />
My short term goals are to establish<br />
myself in the music industry<br />
amongst other media entertainment.<br />
As for long term it’s to<br />
inspire an build a brand that the<br />
people believe in an can hold on to<br />
for life.<br />
I would like to stay independent<br />
and just have great side partnership<br />
with a label. But I am really open<br />

to whatever opportunity fits my career<br />
an the direction I want to take<br />
my Music. So at this point I don’t<br />
want to jump to an conclusions but<br />
I definitely want to have control<br />
over my Music an continue to put<br />
in hands on work.<br />
I want my music to be able<br />
inspire an help people get through<br />
there everyday life whether it’s<br />
painful or joyful situations. A song<br />
that inspired me is “All Of <strong>The</strong><br />
Lights” by Kanye West. It is also<br />
the song I would have loved to get<br />
on the remix.<br />
A few more of my favorite<br />
current artist I would to work with<br />
would be J.Cole, Drake, Wale, Big<br />
Sean, Meek Mill Rhianna, and<br />
my all time favorite Jay Z. I know<br />
working with these artists would<br />
yield number one songs across the<br />
charts even with me being a little<br />
bit of a science nerd on low. I’m<br />
really into astronomy you know<br />
I’m just amazed by space an the<br />
mystery it continues to hold.<br />
For fun outside of music I enjoy<br />
playing basketball I’m really<br />
into sports just hanging with close<br />
friends as well bowling an watching<br />
a lot of movies. I also love to<br />
draw I actually drew my own Logo<br />
for my official stage name SAGA.<br />
I always said my greatest gift<br />
is not gone be treating myself but<br />
more of making others lives feel<br />
complete an purely happy. So when<br />
I have most of the worlds trust as<br />
a artist an brand I feel like I have<br />
achieved something priceless.<br />

* Capricorn :: Foreign ideas<br />
and concepts are suddenly<br />
much more appealing to you.<br />
If it has been your desire to<br />
work in a foreign country,<br />
now is your big chance to<br />
make a move toward that<br />
goal. <strong>The</strong> time is right for you<br />
to advance in a new location.<br />
* Sagittarius :: A radical shift<br />
in energy makes you feel like<br />
your efforts are actually getting<br />
you somewhere. You are<br />
not just a hamster on a wheel.<br />
You are a prosperous, successful,<br />
and extremely lucky<br />
individual who is on his or her<br />
way up in the world.<br />
*Aries :: Think back to the<br />
lucky break that you got a few<br />
months ago. Remember it?<br />
No? Well, perhaps you forgot<br />
it because it lost steam and<br />
seemed to have fizzled out.<br />
Now is the time to rekindle<br />
this opportunity and bring it<br />
back to life. Rewards are at<br />
hand.<br />
*Taurus :: You are suddenly<br />
seeing the light on obstacles<br />
that have been standing<br />
in your way for a couple of<br />
months. Suddenly you feel<br />
like you are making progress<br />
on an issue that has had you<br />
stuck in a rut for quite some<br />
time. Charge forward with<br />
confidence.<br />
www.<strong>Misfit</strong><strong>Tunes</strong>.com<br />
*Gemini :: Short-term rewards<br />
might not be much to<br />
speak about right now, but<br />
the long-term trends are quite<br />
favorable. Take a look at the<br />
big picture and you will see<br />
that the future is actually quite<br />
bright. Believe it or not, you<br />
are making progress.<br />
* Cancer :: Your financial<br />
luck is changing - and changing<br />
for the better. You will<br />
now feel like you are actually<br />
moving forward with regard<br />
to your finances instead of<br />
moving backwards. Pat yourself<br />
on the back for making<br />
this important shift.<br />
*Leo :: <strong>The</strong> train that you<br />
have been riding was stuck in<br />
reverse for a while, but today<br />
it is moving in a forward<br />
direction again. This spells<br />
nothing but prosperity for<br />
you with regard to anything<br />
having to do with your career.<br />
Take control once again.<br />
* Virgo :: An idea you had a<br />
while back is finally receiving<br />
the positive recognition that it<br />
deserves. Now it is your turn<br />
to review the plan and scan<br />
for any potential pitfalls. This<br />
may require reviewing data<br />
that you have already gone<br />
over, but that’s fine.<br />
* Libra :: Someone in your<br />
workplace, perhaps even your<br />
boss, has an important change<br />
of heart on an issue that directly<br />
pertains to you. This<br />
reversal in decision means a<br />
big opportunity for you, and<br />
possibly even a larger salary.<br />
Keep your eyes open.<br />
* Scorpio :: A problem you<br />
thought had gone away is<br />
now resurfacing. To make<br />
matters worse, this problem<br />
has seemed to worsen since<br />
the last time it reared its ugly<br />
head. Tackle this difficult<br />
issue once and for all instead<br />
of putting on the back burner<br />
again.<br />
* Aquarius :: Someone who<br />
knows that he or she is right<br />
seems to be rubbing it in. Try<br />
to get past this person’s immature,<br />
egotistical approach,<br />
and extract a bit of helpful<br />
information from him or her.<br />
This information will help you<br />
redefine your perspective.<br />
* Pisces :: Take a lesson from<br />
people who are successful in<br />
what they do. This is a good<br />
day to browse in a bookstore<br />

KNOW<br />
is Kalaii<br />
My name Griffin I<br />
was born in Springfield Mass (413)<br />
and moved to the DMV [DC, MD,<br />
VA] area at fourteen.<br />
When i first moved to dmv i<br />
bought a mic and tried to produce.<br />
Knew nothing about it, but i left it<br />
alone when i fell inlove with football,<br />
2 months ago i had got off a<br />
motivating phone call that basically<br />
made me feel. “ i am going to do<br />
what made me happy, and see what<br />
i can do to music if i just gave a<br />
little effort.”<br />
In the 10th grade we were freestyling<br />
and didn’t have anything<br />
that rhymed with kangaroo, so i<br />
used bang-o roo. Sounded good<br />
whenever it was said then i started<br />
saying it. A lot of my older friends<br />
started calling me Bang and it just<br />
kind of stuck.<br />
I ask myself all the time what is<br />
my sound? I ask myself that all the<br />
time, you have to grow and change<br />
with the time and vibe whether it is<br />
Drake, Will Smith, or any trap drill<br />
music artist you see a lot of change<br />
ups. I would say I adapt to whatever<br />
beat I’m on. That’s the best way<br />
for me to describe my sound.<br />
Ultimately I want my music to<br />
make my female and male fans party<br />
together. I want them to be hype<br />
before a event. At the same time<br />
have a woman vibe and want to<br />
listen to it while at the same time a<br />
grown man can turn it on and give<br />
me props.<br />
My short term goal is to open for<br />
many and work with artists like<br />
Rae Sremmrund or Travis Scott. My<br />
long term goals are to have a sold<br />
out tour and or perform with my<br />
favorite artist. I feel I would sound<br />
like a crazy collab with myself. Bizzy<br />
crook or wale i would love to “<br />
intern” with they would grow me as<br />
a artist at this point in my “career”.<br />
But for the dmv ! Streetz 1waynostra<br />
i think would be a good collab.<br />
When asked if I would sign a<br />
major deal or stay independent my<br />
honest answer every time has been<br />
id be good with either if it is reasonable.<br />
My fans and supporters would<br />
be surprised to find out that<br />
“1975” is my first real recorded<br />
song and video. Redspace studios<br />
did a amazing job dealing with<br />
the fact it was many hours and i<br />
couldn’t get the voice I liked when<br />
recording “1975.” It being my first<br />
real effort at music I wanted it to be<br />
better than people expected.<br />
Not at all did I expect “1975” to<br />
take off like it did<br />
just like the mixtape title this was<br />
all just to say i did it. Especially not<br />
the video or all the amazing positive<br />
feedback. Thank you for all the<br />
shares!<br />
