16-year-old Alyssa Colón drops another hot single with ‘I’m Gucci’

LONG ISLAND, NY – Alyssa Colón is like many other 16-year-old girls in the world – confident in one moment and then self-doubting in the other. But as the New York-based singer/songwriter grows up and is developing her own unique voice, she’s learning that strength and determination can sometimes mix with vulnerability in the most beautiful of ways. The more she learns this, the more confident she becomes – and it’s that confidence that she wants to share with other girls around the world through her new single “I’m Gucci.”

The single is the latest from one of New York’s hottest up-and-coming young artists. Earlier this year she released the singles “Because of You” and “Blocking You,” both of which have seen some strong success while building her fanbase. This new single is what she considers to be a logical progression in her young career and the perfect song to help her connect more deeply with her fans.

“It’s a song I wrote to help bring positivity and confidence to people, no matter who you are,” she said. “A lot of people say it when they’re trying to represent being good – it’s like saying, ‘I feel confident and can conquer the world.’ It’s also a song I wrote for myself because there are times when I’m not as confident and I look to this song and it reminds me that I’m good. I read this and I’m fine. Others can listen and get the same feeling. Everybody has those times in their lives when they’re not feeling confident. I had one of those when I first started writing this song, and I had to stop and focus on what I wanted to change or what I wanted to do better. And now when I listen to this song it makes me feel confident and helps me regain my confidence back.”


Colón’s unique sound and style are helping her stand out from others within the music industry today. Though young in her career, she said she wants to explore different genres and has had fun creating songs in hip-hop, pop and R&B. She hopes that the diversity she brings to her music will help her develop a fanbase with diverse tastes – so that when she does concerts, multiple people could attend and have fun while at the same time participating in an act of unity, not separation.

“At the end of the day I want people to think, ‘Wow! Who is she? I want to hear more of her!’” Colón said. “I want them to get a vibe of ‘Wow!’ I want them to see that I have a lot of power and I’m not playing around. I’m really here to dominate and be amazing and try to conquer something. I’m after it and I’m really working hard. If someone wants to look up to me, and I want them to look up to how I stay strong and work hard to get what I want. I hope they see me being confident and then they can be confident. I want them to succeed, but they’ll have to practice, practice, practice… I’m only 16 and I’m working really hard for this. But when people see that I’m 16 and doing it, they can know they can accomplish what they want no matter what their age.”


In addition to her new single, Colón will be performing at the Coast to Coast Live Show in Brooklyn on Dec. 15. She’s also working on another single called “Another Level,” which she said should be released in the first quarter of 2018.


Listen to the deceit in his tone as Guttaboi Mcdurmutt tackles a hard beat and a catchy hook from SF on his new single "Change" out now. From real talk to the wordplay on this record it is clear that Guttaboi Mcdurmutt is lyrically equipped to rap with the best of them. "Why change, cause i'm here today/ A million dollars worth of game I'm tryna' give away" Guttaboi has the bars of a veteran who has clearly experienced a lot and his ability to eloquently express his life experience is clearly the highlight of his talent. "Change" is more than just good raps however, this thing has some mainstream appeal. Between a modernized beat and a hook that is geared toward a wide audience but also the quality of the raps there is something for everyone on here from hip-hop purists to the casual fan.

10 Questions with beatmaker, Vantrill
1. What or who has been your inspiration for creating music?
Since I can remember, I’ve been creating music. I played in various bands growing up, and loved the process of creation and writing. As I grew older, my interest shifted from playing in bands to learning software inside and out and creating sounds that had never been heard before. I got the same kick out of making beats that I did from writing with bands previously, so I carried on working every day. I saw female musicians, such as Missy Elliot, take over their own production, and I have always been so inspired by people like WondaGurl, they were my inspiration when I first got into this.


2. You have been working as a ghost producer for years, why is now the perfect time for you to release music under her own name?
Yeah, I’ve worked as a ghost producer for so many people and some big names over the past few years, but I never felt 100% happy with it. I think that being in bands when I was younger has really encouraged me to stay in the limelight and make music for myself and WITH other people instead of FOR them. During this summer, I finally decided to start doing that. It was always the goal, so when better to start than now.



3. Did you produce the beat and write "Birthday"?
The beat was created with a very talented producer called Camden. The beat was then sent over to Young Preach, who I knew would suit it perfectly. Preach is an incredible writer, and did the beat justice with such brilliant lyrics and vocal performance.



4. What is the concept of the new song "Birthday"?
Young Preach’s lyrics speak of an ex who ‘always wants my time in the worst way’. He told me that his experience with a ‘toxic female’ is what inspired his writing, and I’m glad that the song gave him the opportunity to put those feelings into words. Many people have had experiences with an ex coming back after you’re finished with them, and it brings back the feelings and/or pain you wanted to leave behind. It’s ironic, because birthday’s are a celebration, the lyrics are clever.



5. How did you connect with Young Preach?
I’ve been a fan of Young Preach for a while, his sound is very unique and I knew I wanted him to work on at least one track with me. Being from the UK, I find it difficult to connect with a lot of the artists that I want to, but the internet is a crazy thing, and allowed me to reach out to him and create this artist relationship which I love.



6. Where did you get the inspiration for the beat?
We wanted this RnB/trap kind of vibe that was fast and had lots of things going on in the mix. The beats energy needed to reflect the somewhat angry and confused lyrics about an Ex. I spend a lot of time on my mixes, making sure they are the perfect balance and basis for a vocalist.



7. Is the song on a project that will be coming soon?
Yes, this song is part of my first ever album, which will be released in 2018.



8. What instruments and equipment did you use to create it?
I’m lucky enough to have access to incredible studios. I love to use a lot of outboard gear in my beats and mixes, such as the DPR402 , Phoenix compressor, culture vulture distortion units, Distressor, Manley EQ’s and more. I love putting sounds through these, such as drums, to create authentic analogue sounds that are lacking in this genre right now. A lot of people stick to their software and plugins, I like to bring the physicality back into my sounds during the mixing process.



9. How would you describe your production and mixing style?
Honestly, I think that at times, I can be very generic in my beat making. I try to create fresh new sounds and push the boundaries of Hip Hop as a genre. Hip Hop is so broad, and I’m so happy about that. There’s so many approaches that I know I can take to create a beat, so I just try to do the best I can to create a special sounding base for an artist. The thing I focus the most on in mixing is spaciousness - spreading sounds across the stereo field, even vocals to a certain extent, to fill out a mix and create an interesting mix that catches the listeners attention.



10. What should we look for from Vantrill in 2018?
I’m so excited for 2018. My album will be coming out, and I hope that people start to take notice of an independent producer who’s trying to work like the big names work. I’ve got great tracks coming out with some incredible artists, and I hope to be a part of the new sound of 2018!

Hit the go-kart tracks with up and coming Houston emcee Khody Blake in his new video for "GAS" backed by L.O.U.D Muzik. Khody finds a nice balance between his innocent persona and a southern-style banger on this record. The 23-year-old preaches positivity in his music and is quoted saying "When my name comes up, i want it to be about something positive every time. I want to be known as the guy whose face is constantly associated for positive events, positive vibes and happiness everywhere I go." This type of mentality is something that is much needed in hip-hop where the over-glorification of vices is what is at the forefront. Watch "GAS" below and check out http://hyperurl.co/KhodyBlakeGas for more music in the future.

ES Och is joined by Bocaine Dazsy & AlmightySuspect in the new video for "Slauson to Boston" and this thing slaps. The bouncy party anthem is also backed by a visual that reciprocates the feeling in a house party type of environment. ES Och has only been rapping for a couple of months but Slauson to Boston is gaining viral attention. Och grew up in the Nickerson Garden Projects of Watts, California where he first gained his passion for music and streets. Although music was always an interest, ball was Och priority and after a full season of playing at the collegiate level, he decided to put the ball down and pick the mic up. This transition is going smoothly for Och who seems to have made the right decision. Expect more coming from ES Och in the future but for now, turn up to "Slauson to Boston" below.

Some of hip-hops most influential bangers of the last four years have started with the infamous beat-tag "We got London on da Track" the trademark of the super producer out of Atlanta. The producers beat catalog ranges from legacy acts such as Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, and Jeezy to artists that he helped mold such as Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and so many more. London has become a pioneer of the Atlanta trap-influenced sound that has been taken from a regional style to a international hip-hop sensation. Now that London has proven that he can facilitate hits for others, he is taking matters into his own hands and releasing a solo project under RCA Records titled "Who Would've Known" set for release soon. The first single "No Flag" with Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, and Offset has lived up to the star-studded hype and now with "Whatever You On" as the second single it seems like London can't miss. The track features Ty Dolla $ign, Jeremih, YG, and Young Thug in a sequence of different melodies and flows from the superstar collaboration. The single is also packaged with a video that tackles a concept of an office party theme where the artists show that they can turn a boring environment into a good time. It is clear that London on da Track is exploring music from more of a pop-angle and as his genre of music is at the forefront he is capitalizing on the moment. It should be interesting to see how "Who Would've Known" performs in this musical climate because London has the formula to succeed in it.
