Travis Barker, Lil Wayne & Rick Ross Collaborate On Gimme Brain Video

31 Friday Jan 2020

Travis Barker celebrated the launch of his label DTA Records with the release of the single “Gimme Brain”, a collaboration with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross in December. Yesterday, the Blink-182 drummer returned with the Andrew Sandler directed music video. Barker takes viewers to a barren warehouse, where he’s banging on the drums with fluorescent lights flickering around him. A short time later, Wayne steps in with a Styrofoam cup in hand to deliver his verse, while pugnacious UFC fighter Nate Diaz makes a cameo appearance ready to brawl with anyone in his way. Ross invades the set with a highlighter-bright jacket, the same shade as the 2015 LaFerrari next to him, which is valued at $3 million. Trippie Redd also makes a cameo appearance before the clip comes to an end. Watch “Gimme Brain” below.

This song is the property of Atlantic Records.

Inside The Industry

31 Friday Jan 2020

Tatiana Scott is a rising singer who isn’t a stranger to the stage. The New York City native attended the legendary fame school LaGuardia Arts, where she studied music. She’s performed at New York clubs Green Space and SOB’s as well. The single “IDCU (I Don’t Choose You)” is her first mainstream effort. A soulful, heartfelt moment of clarity, “IDCU (I Don’t Choose You)” is a song about the moment when you realize your worth and choose yourself over everything else. Tatiana received assistance from Venor Yard on guitar and Emmanuel Talton on piano. The track features string arrangements by Charlie Rosen. “IDCU” was recorded and mixed by Grammy award-winning engineer John Kilgore. Tatiana Scott serenades listeners while encouraging them to find strength in letting go. Scott wants her music to speak to the heart of  those who hear it. I’d say she’s off to a great start with “IDCU (I Don’t Choose You).” Following her spellbinding performance at the 62nd annual Grammy awards, R&B songstress H.E.R. returns with the single, “Sometimes.” On the offering, the Grammy nominated singer/songwriter fuses her beautiful tone with inspirational lyrics. “Sometimes” is the followup to H.E.R’s remix to “Slide”, her collaboration with Pop Smoke, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Chris Brown, released earlier this month.

In Memoriam: Thomassina “Toni” Smith

29 Wednesday Jan 2020

Posted by luevernoncross in allmusicnotescom.wordpress

≈ Leave a comment

Sad news from the world of R&B. Singer/songwriter Thomassina “Toni” Smith, remembered for singing lead on the Tom Browne classic “Funkin For Jamaica”,  has died according to a post on her Facebook page. Although Smith largely worked behind the scenes, her impact on the music industry is undeniable. The Bronx, New York native initially came to the attention of music fans when she joined the vocal group The Crystals. A short time later, she met trumpet player Tom Browne, and they co-wrote “Funkin For Jamacia”, which became a smash around the world, topping the charts and elevating both in the music world, as they both simply tore the song up. The two worked together on several songs the next few years. With her beautiful voice, Smith became a sought-after background vocalist, working with Stephanie Mills and Jame Ingram among others. She also released several singles as a solo artist, but never achieved commercial success with those releases. Although she was largely unknown to the general public, she was revered by her peers. Ms. Smith left behind a musical legacy that will live on forever and will be missed. May she rest in peace.
