Meet Kane Comfort: The Musician Taking Over the Nashville Music Scene

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Music

The music scene in Nashville is so adaptable that it has welcomed different musicians and songwriters with open arms. This eventually gave way to a diverse culture of music in Nashville making it a hub of fearless musicians who love to experiment.  Musician, songwriter, singer, and rapper Kane Comfort is one such young talent who is storming the music scene in Nashville. Kane has emerged as a unique artist because he manages to evoke emotions in the listeners through music.  

The story of Kane Comfort starts when he was only 2 years old. Kane has faded memories of his father singing and playing the guitar for him when he was 2. He was quite young to remember everything vividly. What he can remember is sitting on his father’s lap and listening to him playing for hours. It was during this time that Kane unconsciously developed a love for music. Kane lived in a few different states growing up. Cities such as Cincinnati, OH, Denver, CO, and Salina, KS are where he called home. Kane remembers his childhood days in Denver when he spent most of his time singing without even thinking of pursuing it as a career. 

During his college days, Kane enjoyed singing more than academics. Following societal expectations, Kane never considered music as a career. He moved from engineering to accounting and finally finance in an attempt to choose a subject with higher prospects of a well-paying consistent job. It was during this time that Kane experienced the biggest tragedy of his life. His father passed away from cancer. This inconsolable loss changed Kane’s whole perspective and he discovered his true passion for music. 

His aim to become a musician grew even stronger when he found a handwritten letter from his father. The letter had a final message to his son: to use his talent in meaningful service to others. This is where Kane found his true purpose in life. He knew music was a way to connect with people and invoke emotions. With new enthusiasm and renewed vigor, Kane started honing his skills. He spent hours writing songs and composing music, growing his talents along the way. 

Today, Kane is a promising star in the music industry with an enthusiastic follower base in Nashville. He has opened for renowned artists like Jon Bellion. Kane has released an independent EP in 2021 titled “Lotus” with 5 songs in it. These songs are “Take Flight,” “Vine Full of Scars,” “I Cannot Condone It,” Raised by the Wolves,” and “Lotus”. Kane has recently rolled out three singles titled “Stupid In Love”, “65 South”, and “Green Leaves”. With every song, Kane has managed to develop a personal connection with his audience.   

Kane also has 7 hot videos to his name on his Vevo channel. He is working on several upcoming projects that comprise videos and music tracks. Apart from music releases, Kane is popular for this enthralling live performance in Nashville. He wants to stand by the departing words of his father by becoming a musician with a purpose. Kane wants to continue his journey for many more years, reaching more and more people through his music.

Music is Dope – Jayd Deroché

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Uncategorized

Per Jayd Deroché, music is dope. This statement can be interpreted in various ways. Let’s take a closer look at these meanings and how they can be applied when describing music, especially that of this artist.

The word “dope” is usually affiliated with drugs. To some people, music is a drug, but a healthy one. It has an addictive nature and quality that generates a craving whether it be to listen, sing, compose, write lyrics, mix beats, or any mix of these elements. Countless artists have a lifelong passion for music that has fueled their talents one way or another. Vocalists might not be songwriters so they partner up with a person who cannot sing but has a gift for writing stirring lyrics. In this event, creative energies flow off each other and each party can indulge their “addiction”.

“Dope” is also slang for something that is seen in a positive light, especially in large cities. So to call music “dope” is a compliment, meaning the work is good, nice, cool, etc. The term “dope” is frequently used in the hip-hop genre to describe something or someone as excellent or impressive. The term is entirely informal in nearly any capacity, but it has become a well-known slang term.

If you hear someone use the word dope, do not automatically think it refers to drugs. It’s just a fairly new term that can innocently describe a car. Music can be frequently described as “dope” which is a big compliment. If you want to get into biological terms, music has been shown to release the neurochemical dopamine that regulates mood.

So whether a person is referring to an artist, a song, or the pleasure that comes from listening to music, it can be called “dope” in any context. Or as Jayd Deroché sums it up, dope music is just something people love to have in their lives.

A Look into the Incredible Journey of Renowned Singer Ifty Kerzner

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Sponsored Posts

The road to attaining our dreams is never easy, and we often encounter various roadblocks that threaten our journey. However, no matter how challenging, we can still rise above the struggles, and Iftach “Ifty” Kerzner shows us just that through his incredible story.

Ifty had a great interest in music from a young age. He says that he would spend hours listening to legendary artists like Eminem, Westlife, Elton John, Doctor Dre, and Britney Spears, who were his favorites. However, no one believed he could make a career out of it. Ifty wasn’t too good with words and was even thrown out of literature class in high school.

Undeterred, Ifty didn’t let people’s opinions sway him from following his passion. Ifty started his journey in the music industry, and he began self-training to understand the basics of good songwriting. He recalls making a promise to himself when he was 17 years old that he would have a number one song on the radio, and true to that, four years later, Ifty released his breakthrough single “A Million Stars.”

According to Ifty, “A Million Stars” is a song he wrote and composed in memory of his friend Tom who lost his life during the Second Lebanon War in Israel. It was sung by Tom’s sister Amit Farkash, with the track becoming an instant hit. The song was played hundreds of times on different radio stations, becoming the most recognized song related to that war. 

“A Million Stars” has been sung at many national events and occasions, including the opening of the 2012 national Independence Day ceremony and every national Memorial Day event. Ifty has also composed and produced “The Heart Breaks,” “In Our Kindergarten,” and “The Night Will Pass,” among others, making him successful with sad and emotional tracks, romantic songs, and also upbeat comic songs.

“Success is a journey, and it takes time,” says Ifty. He also adds that it’s the result of resilience, hard work, determination, and focus. There are various obstacles along the way, but you shouldn’t let that stop you. Ifty notes that failure is only fatal if you let it be.

By choosing to fight for his passion, even when the odds were stacked against him, Ifty has established his spot in the music industry and is now recognized internationally. His songs have gained thousands of views on Youtube and various streaming platforms.

He’s also a TV host and the co-founder/president of the high-tech company Kisstera. Together with his team, they are helping US insurance carriers improve their marketing and distribution while making the job easier and faster. The company recently secured its first funding and, as stated by Ifty, is set to continue thriving.

The start of any journey is a single step. Even though one of the most challenging, the first step sets the pace and motivates you to press on. Taking his first step years ago, Ifty has fulfilled his dreams and is impacting lives through his music. Looking into the future, he says he has much more exciting content coming up.

Tasha K Responds To Jury Verdict In Cardi B Lawsuit: “No LIES Were Told On Anyone”

By: London JennnCategory: News

Tasha K will be appealing the new $4 million jury verdict reached Monday after she was found liable for defaming Cardi B. 

She took to Twitter and also made a live address on YouTube on Wednesday after Cardi B won the case. She vowed to appeal the decision all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

“No LIES were told on anyone,” she began. “I never admitted to lying about anything. Noone threw anyone under the bus. Mostly everything reported was a lie from the inside. The Court Transcripts will be available to the public soon. I forgot to add this into my speech. Read Them..”

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The tweet came after Tasha K delivered a lengthy statement on her legal battle with Cardi B. She read from notes throughout the 12-minute video as more than 29,000 viewers tuned in live on her UnWineWithTashaK channel. 

“These last four years fighting this conspiracy case have been extremely challenging, and yet I wouldn’t change a single thing about any of it. I’ve learned so much,” Tasha K claimed. 

Watch The Full Video Below

Cardi B is not mentioned by name in the video, while Tasha K claims she was the true victim. She further alleged that a “machine” driven by “corporate interests” including “prostitution, drug use, promiscuity,” and the “glorification” of violence, had “tried to squeeze us for everything.” 

Although Tasha was ordered to pay Cardi B $4 million, she claims she will continue to expand her brand. “This case was meant to drain me financially, and it did not,” she said. “I know y’all maybe think this is over, but no, this is just the beginning. I will spend as many years as I can to protect our right to voice our opinions.” 

She continued, “This trial was purely sympathy and payola to protect corporate interests, and we intend to take this all the way to the Supreme Court if need be. This is my life, and I will spend my life fighting for my livelihood and our First Amendment right as human beings.” 

Cardi B Responds

Meanwhile, Cardi B posted a picture of Euphoria character “Rue Bennet” played by Zendaya with the caption, “mood.” 

During the trial, Cardi testified that she felt “extremely suicidal,” and felt “helpless” as the blogger broadcast lies about her to her nearly 1 million YouTube followers. “Only an evil person could do that s–t,” Cardi B said, adding she also developed fatigue, anxiety, weight loss, and migraines.  

Cardi B sued Tasha K, real name Latasha Kebe, in 2019 after the blogger made nearly 40 videos referencing the rapper. She made numerous false claims about the rapper, including that she worked as a prostitute, used cocaine, and had herpes.

Kool G Rap.

One of the greatest emcees of all times is back. The rapper, the cool genius of rap, returns with a new song that is not so new. In 2017, Kool G Rap has joined forces with Lil Fame and Freeway for “Wiseguys” but has recently been re-released. Now, as it did then, it hits like an East Coast banger from the Golden Era should.

Those that know G Rap, know that he was one of the architects of the super lyrical rapper as well as a voice of the streets.

And, by teaming up with the likes of Fame and Freeway, it certainly looks like it’s going to be a good year. The word on the street is that an album is not far behind.

The video shows law officials and DEA agents chasing the rap god and his crew, but facing an army of guns proves to be too much. The story is told masterfully by director MysterDL, who offers a surprise ending for those that watch until the conclusion. Salute to  Moss on the beat with the boom, the bap and the scratch.

Pooh Shiesty Learns When He’ll Be Sentenced In Federal Firearms Case

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Pooh Shiesty will be waiting a few more months to find out his punishment for a federal firearms charge.

According to The Commercial Appeal, Pooh Shiesty is scheduled to be sentenced on April 7. District Judge K. Michael Moore will handle the sentencing at the United States Courthouse in Miami.

Pooh Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Williams, agreed to a plea deal earlier this month. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes. In exchange, prosecutors dropped three charges against him.

The plea deal allowed the Memphis native to avoid a potential life sentence. He was facing charges of conspiring to commit a Hobbs Act robbery, committing a Hobbs Act robbery and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.

Pooh Shiesty, whose been behind bars since July 2021, asked to be released on bond after agreeing to the plea deal. Magistrate Judge Lauren Fleischer Louis denied his request.

“Defendant is not entitled to a renewed bond determination now that he entered a guilty plea to Count One of the Superseding Indictment,” the judge ruled. “Even under the statute invoked by Defendant, the Motion has advanced no evidence, much less clear and convincing evidence, that he is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the community.”

Pooh Shiesty will remain locked up until sentencing. Prosecutors are recommending a 97-month prison sentence.
