Nick Delahoyde- The Longest Way

By: Kellan Miller Updated Category: Features

Nick Street Shooting 41

Everyday, I’m inundated with young hopefuls that are intent on getting their music out to a wide audience. I only have two ears (and if you’ve seen, you know that they are very small) so I am not able to listen to all these submissions, but I applaud the effort nonetheless. Recently, I stumbled across a young up and comer named Nick Delahoyde. While this is not the same sort of molly-happy Hip Hop that is currently dominating Top 40 radio, Nick has a refreshing bent to his music. He appears at once humble, energetic, but confident in his abilities– the three halmarks of a successful rapper.

Music wasn’t always in the cards for Nick. In pursuit of a professional football career, Nick moved to Barcelona, Spain at the age of 15 and lived there for 4 years. It was during this time that Nick started to explore hip-hop music as a way of expressing his frustrations with the ups and downs of following his dreams. What started out as an outlet, soon became a burning passion. Nick wrote lyrics and melodies to his favorite instrumentals as well as original songs, in collaboration with Sydney based composer, musician and producer (and brother) Joseph de la Hoyde (de la Aurora & Monks of Mellonwah).

Nick started off writing his own introspective lyrics and recording them over modern hits, sharing his work on Youtube and Instagram (where he’s built an audience of over 60,000 at @ndelahoyde). Nick’s work recently caught the attention of Chicago based Hip-Hop producer Lemoyne ‘LA’ Alexander (R.Kelly, Aaliyah) who invited Nick to the USA to collaborate. The result, Nick’s debut single “The Longest Way,” realeased in October, entered the US top 100 chart strongly in 2015.

Charting this early in his career, the sky is truly the limit for Nick Delahoyde. If God willing and the creek don’t rise, Nick’s eventual debut album will feature the same sort of fearless disposition he executes on his debut single. The Hip Hop is sorely in need of it.

Put who am I? Check out Nick’s video for “The Longest Way” for yourself. Maybe you’ll spark up some interesting Youtube comment arguing.

As always, make sure to track Nick Delahoyde’s movements on the interwebs:

Chris Brown Suspect In Assault During Basketball Game

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: News

Chris Brown has a new set of charges against him. The singer stands accused of getting into a fight with a man during a pick up game of basketball early Monday morning.

He is now a suspect for battery.

The alleged incident occurred at the Palms Casino Resort about 3:42 am, where Chris Brown punched the man. Police were called, but they didn’t talk to the R&B star.

TMZ outlined Chris’ options: “Either sign a citation for misdemeanor battery, and agree to show up in court to face the charge — OR take his chances with the D.A … who would decide whether to press charges.”

Chris is no longer on probation so it is highly unlikely that he’ll see any time in jail.

Talib Kweli’s Javotti Media has created a new partnership with Morgan State University Professor MK Asante for Buck, the soundtrack to the best-selling book of the same name.

Based on his memoir, Buck features Talib Kweli, Ras Kass, King Mez, and even the late Dr. Maya Angelou, who offers an exclusive speech.

When you do, you realize that this work of art is not just important, but necessary.”
Buck, the book, was a Washington Post Best Seller and also was a finalist for the NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Literary Work.’

Born in Zimbabwe, raised in urban Philadelphia in the 90’s, MK Asante said dealt with the “same issues plaguing today’s hip-hop generation.” Despite these odds, he got his MFA from UCLA and became the youngest tenured professor at Morgan State University at age 26.

This soundtrack is a way for him to reach the Hip-Hop diaspora. “I wanted to do something new to push the boundaries of literature and the soundtrack does this.

It translates the book into the universal language of music.”
