Who is Benny the Jet?
You might think Los Angeles, California is a long way from Iowa City, Iowa. But for Iowa City artist Benny the Jet, these two cities made him who he is today. Born in LA, he moved at a young age to Iowa. But for this adopted kid, growing up as an only child was far from the spoiled lifestyle you would think this Midwesterner would have.
Having lost his dad at an early age, Benny the Jet found comfort dealing with the racism and discrimination of growing up as a biracial adopted kid in the fields of Iowa through music and sports. His name “Benny the Jet” coming from running track as a kid and being fast like a “Jet”, the name stuck, and he decided to keep the name as he began his music career.

Submuzik Boss Returns To The Music Scene With New Single "I Need That"
Submuzik Boss is impossible to ignore. Born in Milwaukee, SMB is revered for his emotional honesty, sweet melodic songs about pain, and young love that he crafts. The rapper speaks his mind through haunting tales packed with pure bars, street tales, and passionate deliveries. Having sky high ambitions and a work ethic to match, he consistently progresses with clarity; without compromising his well-honed sound.
The rapper’s interaction with music started from early on. His father and godfather (who are both musicians), SMB always registered his presence in the studios where they recorded and he subtly learned from those sessions. Drawing from influences like T-Pain, T.I. and Twista, SMB’s sound is tailored to motivate people not to give up on their dreams. Pulling from his wealth of experience as he recounts painful tales of his mistakes.
SMB announced himself to the world in 2018 with the technically impressive album “Dope Vibes”. The record focuses on themes of love, hustle tales, and healthy self reflection on piano-driven production. SMB’s ear for melodic sound gave the project an ear worthy texture, as his voice shape-shifted between gruff declarations of street life and sweetened confessions of love and lust.
SMB’s narrative has been a slow and steady progression of coming from nothing, to someone whose name you’ll never forget. The gospel of SMB is vibrating on a higher level. While the rest of his story remains unwritten, we’re all a work in progress. This is only the beginning. (Edited by Rosetta & Savana)

YB Linkz - Feanin
YB Linkz continues to ride wave of success with hit summer club banger ‘Feanin’
BROOKLYN, NY – A hot new club banger from East Coast artist YB Linkz has been creating quite a buzz throughout New York and expanding regions thanks to its upbeat vibes and sexy sound. “Feanin” is a song that YB describes as “dirty Pop with a Hip-Hop feel.” It’s a song he said feels like a strip club kind of song, but with a twist that includes R&B vibes that make it more smooth than raw. Featuring fellow East Coast artist A. Vinchi, the song serves as a platform for the two artists to display their impressive flow as they bounce back-and-forth with raps that explore their mutual desire for a gorgeous woman in the club.
“Basically we’ve created a concept where we’re both lusting over her,” YB Linkz said. “He’s the player and I’m the smooth guy. He wants to marry her, but I’m just trying to get with her. It’s kind of raunchy in some ways, if you think about it, but the vibe is just a fun club banger. It’s a hit, for sure.”
Originally known by the name Linxy Boi, and then eventually Linkz, today YB Linkz has developed a reputation in the industry as one of the hottest independent artists active around the world. It doesn’t matter who’s track he’s on, he absorbs the vibe and becomes more than merely another collaboration. Working alongside of the some of the biggest names in the industry, YB Linkz has developed a reputation as the go-to guy for hits.
To understand his genius as an artist, YB Linkz is quit to point new fans to his Caribbean roots and a unique sound and style that’s been inspired by artists such as Chris Brown, Rihanna and Busta Rhymez. He also uses inspiration from EDM and other various genres to make a fusion of sound that can only be described as original – or, in his words, “Jumbalaya Flow.”
“I want my music to be big,” he said. “At its purest form its Pop, but less Backstreet Boys and more dirty Pop. I am singing melodies and giving you a story, but It’s not a cookie-cutter kind of sound. I’m putting thought into what I’m creating and I’m speaking with people and giving them great stories. I have that Drake kind of sound, but I had it before Drake was even a thought – I’ve been doing that since the mid-2000s when I first started recording. I had to switch my style up and have done some things differently over the years – recently going to more of a rap style. I like to battle rap, and you can tell that with my flow. But more than anything I’m just going to be me. I cross lyrical content with keep the same flow I’m known for, and I’m Caribbean and I apply that to my music, as well. I’m taking all that with me into the studio and making crazy-ass hits.”

Buddha’s Sister - All Your Noise
new album ‘All Your Noise’
VANCOUVER, WA – The latest album from underground artist Buddha’s Sister is an impressive blend of genres with an EDM vibe. It’s a song that embraces ethereal House music, albeit with a bit of an alt rock edge. “All Your Noise” is an album and song that explores the effects of negative thoughts in combination with everyday experiences and how those thoughts can corrode an otherwise healthy relationship with oneself, others and the world around us.
“If you’re going to continue to think about only bad things, you’re not focusing on being productive. Lift up your mind however you can, even if that just means physically looking to the sky” Buddha’s Sister said. “There’s a lot of noise going on in the world right now and this song explores the effects of negativity in conjunction with working to keep a positive outlook.”
Her newest album “All Your Noise” is slated for release across all streaming platforms on Oct. 1. Inspired by many of the issues happening now throughout the world and over the past couple of years, the album is a collection of topics that explore positivity and the escape from dark thoughts and depressive moods and are prevalent and unavoidable. It’s a project that Buddha’s Sister considered her best work yet, rhythmic, poetic and melodic with sounds that invite listeners to vibe with.
“My sound is influenced by a lot of different styles and genres,” Buddha’s Sister said. “I am a music enthusiast – I listen to everything, if it grooves, I can dig it. Ultimately, I like to express myself in a poetically lyrical way that’s poignant, unique and which hopefully helps to paints a picture for the listener where they can find themselves and relate.”
Buddha’s Sister has developed her unique style of expression over the last 20 years of song-writing and performing. She is known for being an artist who is honest, authentic and expressive. Her music showcases a woman with a free spirit who endeavors to help others look at the brighter side of things and use music as a means of finding peace in the midst of their tumultuous lives.
“I have a lot of experience dealing with unfavorable and difficult situations, and I, of course, cannot help but express that through my music,” she said. “Yet while all my experiences have undoubtedly shaped me and, to some degree, my perception of the world, music has always been my center. I have always held the artists who have inspired me in such a high regard, that if my music can speak to and help others find a commonality in knowing we are not alone, then that’s really the greatest thing I could hope to achieve – that and a steady head bob.”

King K - Now or Never
King K expertly blends R&B and EDM on emotional new track ‘Now or Never’
TORONTO, CANADA – A slow-jam, EDM-inspired R&B vibe is making its way to the world with the hot new single from Canadian artist King K. “Now or Never” is a groovy new single that feels like a new take on the sound made famous by The Weeknd, albeit with a unique sound and style that is all King K. Featuring auto-tuned vocals set against a catchy beat and electronic melodies, “Now or Never” is this young artist’s take on a new approach to R&B.
“R&B is something I was so attracted to and it’s a sound that I wanted to recreate,” King K said. “I’m inspired by the new wave of sound I’ve been hearing lately, and I decided to use that to create a relationship-type song that has an element of heartbreak. This is a song that says you need to commit or it’ll never happen. It’s a song about love and heartbreak and regret and a bunch of different emotions that we all go through.”
Telling the story of a couple moving back-and-forth through a relationship, the song cleverly incorporates a phone call woven throughout to emphasize the modern-day tale of a love destined to lose. The story features a man and woman who never can quite seem to get on the same page, and eventually the man walks away from the relationship. When the woman realizes what she’s lost and tries to restore the relationship, it’s too late and she’s left realizing just how much she’s lost.
King K said it’s a song that he knows will connect with a lot of people around the world, and he’s excited for people to hear his new sound. Having developed a career as an artist in the hip-hop and rap world, King K is eager to bring about a new sound and style with his exploration of R&B and EDM. A true fan of storytelling in all its forms, he weaves intricate tales with clever wordplay and emotional lyrics in ways that has both industry insiders and fans buzzing.
“Essentially what I want to bring is music that makes people feel something and appeals to different groups,” he said. “I’ve been fascinated by so many different types of artists. My big three are Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown – all of whom didn’t stick to one thing but branched out and were able to execute many different styles in amazing ways. Like them, I don’t want to be categorized as a one-dimensional artist. This is my stuff and this is what I can do, and it’s something that’s available to multiple audiences.”
King K said he’s planning to follow up “Now or Never” with a full album called “Universal” sometime in early 2022.

Silence - Summertime Feat. EMDUBAI
Derek Baily most known as “Silence” was born in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Silence was given his name at an early age for being quiet and shy, but the name stuck has he got older and into trouble as he was known as someone who would react without being noticed. After turning his life around the name stayed but became more of a positive nickname in his life, now showing positive actions in “silence”.
His love of music started when he was younger but never turned into anything until the Summer of 2018 when he met Executive A&R Andre Williams. He started working under him as his Jr. A&R and learn the music business helping with different projects and artists.
It was in 2020 when he decided to take the business and use it for himself turning his love of writing into artistry.
When you ask him where his music comes from, he will sheepishly tell you it’s from the life and struggles of the pain he’s dealt with watching his sister die to his mother not being able to take care of him since the age of 12 due to a prescription drug habit. Being homeless since the age of 12 he’s relied on street smarts, his personality, and ability to adapt to turn him into the person he is today, and the artist we see now. His fun-loving humor, to his bold statements of survival as “the white kid” on the streets bouncing back and forth from St. Louis to Iowa, Silence is not so silent now after all.
He just released his newest single over the summer “Summertime” featuring Iowa/Atlanta artist EMDUBAI and it was also Executive Produced/A&R by DJ K Yung. He is sent to do a joint project with Cedar Rapids IA artist Tone da Boss set to release in October of 2021.
Silence's Bio
Silence is a writer and artist hailing from Cedar Rapids Iowa. He started in the music business as a Jr. A&R under the advisement of an Executive A&R moving his way up until deciding to turn his knowledge of the business into crafting his career with his own artistry.

E-Dash - D.O.A.
E-Dash puts competition on notice with powerful new single ‘D.O.A.’
ATLANTA, GA – When E-Dash arrives on the scene, the competition better watch out. There’s nothing anyone will be able to do to survive against this Southern rapper whose signature style has been called genius by many in the industry. It’s safe to say that anyone who even tries to stand up to him in the rap game will be Dead On Arrival. And this powerful force in hip-hop serves up that notice with his latest hit single “D.O.A.”
“It showcases a level of talent and skill that you don’t hear anymore in music,” E-Dash said. “I want to make sure that’s being brought back to the forefront of hip-hop. Basically this is a song for me to show that when I arrive, there’s nothing or no one else who will be able to survive.”
The single is the first off an EP called “Forever,” which further displays his talent and shows the world that he’s no fly-by-night, one-hit wonder. His music is timeless and of such a high quality that his songs could be played forever. His style is unique and original, like nothing else in the game today. After years as an artist, he’s mastered his sound and created a style that is untouchable.
Born in Queens, New York, but raised in Atlanta, music has been a mainstay in his life since age 9. Over the years he’s worked as a producer, artist, and CEO of his own indie label B-R.E.A.L. Ent. He’s made five albums (“Presidency,” “The Me LP,” “Real War,” “Silence of Lamb,” and “The Beginning”) and has had guest appearances on many unsigned artists’ material, such as Lee Danger, Capo Da Great, Jigg, Cradle Records, 2Chainz, and more. He was also in a group called Nimrod for four years. Along the way he said he’s learned a lot about the business side of music and the ins-and-outs of the recording process.
“It didn’t come easy, but I never gave up,” he said. “I would write songs daily and perform anywhere I could. I developed my own school of music. My life surrounds my music and my music surrounds my life. I’m extremely dedicated to the success of my dreams and goals as an artist and a man. Life inspires me – whatever I’m going through at the time I could create a song about. It all depends on the mood I’m in when I write. The process of recording and hearing my voice is a wonderful feeling. And then watching something you create be enjoyed by others is the best feeling in the world. I’m changing the world through music, and I have no intention of stopping.”

GMB Flash - Put Up or Shut Up
GMB Flash gets in your face with aggressive new track ‘Put Up or Shut Up’
NEW ORLEANS, LA – GMB Flash has witnessed a lot of messed up stuff in his life growing up in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The pain and suffering he’s endured is the core of the music he offers to the world – an inside look at the hard life through the lens of very good music.
His most recent offering to the world is the hot new single “Put Up or Shut Up.” It’s a message to anyone out there who claims to be a baller or to have money to affect change, that if they don’t step up and put their money where their mouth is then they better shut up.
“Prove to us that you have it,” GMB Flash said. “If not, be quiet. A lot of people talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. This is me letting you know you better put up or shut up. A friend of mine sent me the beat and he asked me to kill it. That’s my job, so that’s what I did – I killed it. We got it to put it up – there’s no shuttin’ up on my end. Ain’t no quiet mouths over here. The goal is to show the world we been doing this for a minute.”
GMB Flash is no stranger to aggressive and in-your-face lyrics. He’s made a career on it, in fact. For years he’s been performing at the top of the game, and his style is one that people recognize immediately for its authoritative and declarative nature. It’s the reason he was given the nickname Flash in the first place – because of his temper and the way he moves around in the streets. He’s never been one to wait on someone else to make a move, and when it comes to his career as a musician he’s been leading the way for a long time.
“Ain’t nobody else out there like me,” he said. “I’m not a mumble rapper or doing something just for clout. There’s an actual message in my lyrics that will definitely resonate with the streets. Anyone who is even close to this type of life will feel my music. Folks who went through the type of stuff that I went through – stuck in a poverty-stricken environment where you constantly had to battle – will connect with what I’m bringing. It’s music for anybody who’s trying to elevate out of that. I don’t ever want to open up a pack of Top Ramen again in my house.”
GMB Flash said “Put Up or Shut Up” is a single off a new EP called “Flashed Out,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. It’s a project that shows off his style and brings the Get Money Boys name into the world. He plans to follow that with the mixtape “Reincarnated” later this year.
