Kyle Stemberger, The 21-Year-Old Producer Working With The Industry’s Biggest Stars

Growing up in the small town Griffin, in Georgia, Kyle Stemberger idolized new wave Atlanta producers like Metro Boomin, Zaytoven, and Southside among others. Their beats created the unique sound for artists like Future, Young Thug, and The Migos that fans grew to love. Kyle Stemberger was a genius producer, and it became evident to the industry as his work gained popularity. Self-teaching himself the piano at the age of 6, he was a natural musician. His fascination pushed him to learn the guitar, which can be heard being played by him in many of his productions. His melodically infused music has become a delight for fans of his work and the artists he produces for.

With rising notoriety, Kyle Stemberger worked on groundbreaking tracks. His production credits include Bad Bunny’s song, “Ronca Freestyle” off his 3x platinum and Billboard Latin #1 album “LAS QUE NO IBAN A SALIR.” He also produced the platinum singles “How I Move” by Flipp Dinero featuring Lil Baby and “Be Honest” by Jorja Smith and Burna Boy along with Lil Wayne’s ESPN collaboration, “Playoff.” 

On top of his star-studded list of production credits, his most recent accolade comes from Tory Lanez’ “BDay” off his recent “We Outside” EP which he co-produced with fellow producer, Hayes. Kyle Stemberger’s brilliance as a producer has won him a publishing deal with Prescription Songs, based in LA. Currently, his residence is also located in LA, where he continues to create chart-topping music. 

Kyle Stemberger is on pace to be memorialized beside legends like Max Martin, Quincy Jones, and Rick Rubin. Follow his socials to stay up to date on his projects to come.

Martin Luther King Jr. Comes Back To Life In Fortnite

Black History will come alive for the gaming world, as PlayStation reports that Fortnite will be creating a totally immersive edutainment experience for players that center around The Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

Created by members of the Fortnite Creative Community, ChaseJackman, GQUanoe, XWDFr, and YU7A, and produced by TIME Studios, the project is called March Through Time.

According to the video, March Through Time is a virtual museum, with a series of photos and videos from the day, highlighting King’s speech but also the many people that supported the vision of that historic day of social justice.

While playing, participants will go back into time, almost 80 years to Washington D.C. 1963 (creatively called D.C. 63), to learn lessons of social equity, freedom, segregation, Jim Crow, racism, civil rights, and the core philosophy of the Morehouse graduate.

Players will also get to travel the same journey those who actually attended the original march did, traversing across the Lincoln Memorial and the United States National Mall.

Because it is an interactive experience, players will be able to complete “quests” and learning challenges with each other. The goal is to promote one common theme in Dr. King’s transformative sermon that communicates that we move forward when we work together.

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, who was introduced as the “Moral Leader of Our Nation,” delivered the speech on August 28, 1963, in what was officially called the “March on Washington.”

Kanye West Made A Fortune Off Unreleased “Donda” Album

The unreleased Donda, as a project, has made more money for Kanye West than some rapper’s actual chart-topping albums.

Reports are now saying that Yeezy has made an estimated $10 million with the pre-roll out of the LP named after his mother, and that has happened without one stream of one of its songs.

He’s been making money off of selling tickets to the listening parties, the livestream deals that he struck up to air the events and merchandise connected to the album.

Billboard says that the mogul filled the Mercedes-Benz with 42,000 fans and charged them $25 to $100 per ticket.

He made approximately from those attending who went deep in their pockets to spend $7 million for in-person merchandise sales from the event.

The project is even making history. Apple Music’s livestream records were broken when 5.4 million viewers tuned in to see the icon play songs from the upcoming and highly anticipated album, Donda.

Billboard estimated that the actual listening parties grossed between $1.5 million to $2.7 million each.

The energy generated around the Donda events, like the Verzuz competitions, pushed fans to stream all of the “Gold Digger” artist’s music.

According to MRC Data, his U.S. music streams were bumped up almost 40% over the last month (July 19 to August 9) as a result of his elite promo game.

A game that no one does better than Ye and that makes him just even more valuable as an influencer and businessman.

One exec who works in brand marketing said, “An A-level artist like Kanye could demand a multi-million dollar deal or a guaranteed marketing spend to promote the spot.”

“It’s either about generating revenue to help support the album release, or to cover expenses,” the marketing pro continued. “But a lot of people don’t realize that A-levels artists will do deals for very little money if there’s a massive marketing commitment. It’s not always about the dollar, it’s about the promotion.”

Drake might be wrong.

Kanye might have a whole other plan that has nothing to do with him. He might just be playing the fans, using you as a tool to taunt and keep the conversation going, all the way to the bank.

Teyana Taylor Recovering From Emergency Surgery After Finding Lumps In Her Breasts

Teyana Taylor is recovering after having emergency surgery following the discovery of lumps in her breasts.

The singer and actress’ health scare is covered in the latest episode of her E! reality series “We Got Love Teyana & Iman,” as she’s seen having a biopsy conducted on her “dense” breast tissue, with the samples sent to be analyzed.

“I just want this to be the last time I go through this,” Teyana explained. “Cancer runs through my family, so it’s a scary thing both for me and Iman (Shumpert, Teyana’s husband).”

Luckily everything came back clear, but Teyana admitted she was going to struggle not picking up her daughters, five-year-old Junie and 11-month-old Rue, after being advised to avoid any lifting for the next six weeks.

Following the surgery in Miami, Teyana returned home to Atlanta, where she was greeted by her eldest child, who had made her a card and got her a bunch of flowers.

“Oh my gosh, it’s so great to see them right now because honestly this week in Miami has been very, very emotional for me because it’s very seldom that we’re apart,” Teyana said. “Junie is so loving and caring.”

But Rue struggled to understand why her mom wasn’t picking her up, as Teyana explained: “Rue don’t understand what’s going on. She’s like, ‘Pick me up, hello, what are you doing?’ I can’t do any tight hugs. I don’t even know if I’m going to last six weeks.”

Later in the episode, Teyana reflected on the surgery, as she said: “I accept every single body scar, everything that comes with mommy-hood, but the changes physically, mentally, emotionally, it’s crazy. As mommies, we really are super-women.”

“It’s been a rough year for me, but I feel like I, like, overcome it and I did a great job of balancing everything, trying to be mommy, trying to be wife, trying to be an entrepreneur and everything else I have going on. I just want to enjoy this moment and try not to think of the negative.”

Jane Doe Claims R. Kelly Forced Them To Write Blackmail Letters

R. Kelly allegedly forced his live-in girlfriends to write fake blackmail letters that he could use if accused of sexual abuse, a witness testified in court on Wednesday.

The witness, known only as Jane Doe during the trial in Brooklyn, New York, read out parts of the letter she had allegedly been forced to write by the singer.

In the letter, she told Kelly that if he tried to break up with her “I’m going to tell everyone you raped me. I’m going to say you raped me since I was a minor.”

The letter also included a claim that “she would spank herself really hard” – to leave bruises, which she could use as “proof” that he’d beaten her.

When questioned about the letters by the defense team, Doe said that the abuse was very real, and the letters were an idea by Kelly “to protect him in a trial like this from very serious charges”.

“The defendant would tell us exactly what to say,” Doe added.

In her opening remarks at the ongoing federal trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maria Cruz Melendez said: “As insurance and a way to make sure these women wouldn’t talk, (Kelly) created and collected collateral. He made them create embarrassing videos and false letters. He kept it in his back pocket in case anyone tried to accuse him of anything.”

Another witness claimed R. Kelly freaked out and docked his pay $1,500 when it was revealed that a male would be their tour guide during a trip to Disney World.

In another instance, everyone was fined because someone ate the singer’s donuts.

R. Kelly was arrested over two years ago and has pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking charges. If found guilty on all counts, he faces up to life in prison.

Lil Nas X Becomes Top Executive At Taco Bell With New Job

Despite many naysayers, Lil Nas X is on top of the world.

His music hits the top of the charts whenever he drops. When he decides to go on social media, he always creates a stir. And when it comes to self-expression and representation, he has makes a huge impact on society.

At least that is what Taco Bell believes.

The New York Daily News is reporting that the fast-food giant has appointed the Georgia native (and the company’s former employee) as its first Chief Impact Officer.

The “Montero” artist took to his social media to co-sign the business decision. He tweeted, “life has come full circle, i officially work at taco bell again.”

The social team at Taco Bell immediately hopped into his comments with the very coy flex, “You dropped this in the break room.”

The team posted a cool graphic that simulated a business card, signifying that this indeed is official taco biz.

One of the jobs the chart-topper has on his plate is to inspire fans to check out the returning breakfast menu.

Like McDonald’s did with Travis Scott and Saweetie, the commercial Mexican food hotspot will do cross-promotions with Lil Nas X’s upcoming album Montero and even a few personalized menu items.

Taco Bell CEO Mark King said of the new hire, “Lil Nas X knows the job, the experience and the culture Taco Bell creates for its fans — including its people.”

That is correct. Just five years ago … before his hit song “Old Town Road” took the world by storm, he worked in one of the Atlanta area franchises.

Rapper Gushy Bursts Onto The Scene With Catchy New Single “Cheeky Spending”

The music industry is becoming highly competitive for new artists. With the advent of social media, the music industry has become more challenging but open to new talent. The pandemic lockdown has further fuelled the popularity of social media, which gives budding artists a way to attract an audience. Gushy, a unique music talent, has explored this opportunity to earn his audience on social media and is emerging as a promising star. 

Before stepping into the music industry, Gushy was just another music lover. He loved listening to U.K raps and could be lost in his thoughts for hours. The lyrics often made him think. Gushy has always been a dreamer and that’s what separates him from other artists. He realized that the subjects of most of his favorite artists were similar. They talk about money, love, addiction, struggle, etc., and that is what makes their songs alike. He noticed that despite the similar topics, the songs resonate among the audience and gain huge popularity. This is what helped him discover the subjects of his song. 

Since the beginning of his journey into the music industry, Gushy wanted to be unique. Even though he decided to focus on similar topics like romance, wealth, addiction, obsession, etc. he wanted to create a signature style. He began working on his craft and soon managed to separate himself from the crowd. 

Gushy’s raps are unique in their tone that combines with notes of rap with a smooth flow of lyrics which is unlike the aggression that people often relate to raps. He recently released his single “Cheeky Spending”, which is charting higher on every social media platform. The song was released on the YouTube platform “GRM daily”. Within a few months, it has garnered thousands of views. This is quite an accomplishment for a musician who is a newbie to the industry. 

“Cheeky Spending” is directed by JFX and features Gushy in his signature looks. True to its title, the song speaks about the cheeky expenses that people are becoming obsessed with. From luxury cars to branded clothes and accessories, the show-offs are on a whole new level and they do not understand how superficial they are. In an attempt to look rich, people run after things that make them look classy without realizing their true worth as human beings. 

The video is shot in posh locations featuring skyscrapers and Rolls Romance. The classy backdrops complement the theme of the song. It has a dark undertone that hints at the fake trend of cheeky spending that we blindly follow. From expensive gifts to high-end cars, life seems to revolve around brands for us. It’s all about money and luxury now. With this message, Gushy has managed to connect with the audiences who loved the song for its unique appeal and fresh notes that break the conventional style of rapping. 

After the release of “Cheeky Spendings”, Gushy received a series of offers from big names in the music industry. He is interested in working with some of them. His fans will soon come to know about his upcoming projects on his Instagram account. Gushy has already chosen to be a part of the Wireless Festival. With his career gradually scaling up, he hopes his hard work will turn his dreams into reality.
