Independent artist and entrepreneur Stevieontay Burnz prepares to release Burnz and Beyond, a new project built around cannabis culture, ambition, independence, and the real-life experiences behind The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary)
Stevieontay Burnz is bringing together two worlds that have become inseparable from his story: music and cannabis culture.
The independent artist, entrepreneur, and founder of The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary) is preparing to release his new album, Burnz and Beyond, a project that takes listeners deeper into the lifestyle, business, and experiences that have shaped both his music and his growing brand.
Rather than separating the artist from the entrepreneur, Burnz and Beyond puts both sides of Burnz on full display.
The album draws inspiration from his experiences building The Southern Maryland Experience, navigating the independent music industry, developing cannabis products and brands, and continuing to push forward through the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.
From The Southern Maryland Experience to Burnz and Beyond
Founded under Unlimited Experience Holding Company LLC, The Southern Maryland Experience / The Experience Dispensary has grown from its Maryland roots into a legal cannabis and hemp-focused retail brand with operations in North Carolina.
The company focuses on the legal, 21+ cannabis and hemp market, offering a curated selection of products while building a brand centered around cannabis culture rather than the traditional dispensary experience.
For Burnz, that business isn’t separate from his music.
It is part of the story.
That connection can be heard throughout Burnz and Beyond, where cannabis references sit alongside themes of ambition, relationships, pressure, independence, success, and the realities of trying to build something from the ground up.
The Burnz and Beyond Rollout Begins
The album rollout begins with “Wax Wizardry,” arriving September 30, 2026.
Mixed and mastered by Crackle Kapone, “Wax Wizardry” introduces listeners to the cannabis-heavy atmosphere surrounding the project while showcasing the sound Stevieontay Burnz has continued developing as an independent artist.
The rollout continues with:
“Married to Mary” — October 7
“Terp Temple” — October 14
“The Experience” — October 21
AND MORE TO FOLLOW!
Each release expands the world surrounding Burnz and Beyond, connecting Burnz’s music with the cannabis culture and entrepreneurial journey behind The Southern Maryland Experience.
The project also follows a growing run for Stevieontay Burnz that has included independent media coverage, radio exposure, interviews, live performances, and continued expansion of his presence across streaming platforms and music media.
More Than an Album
The title Burnz and Beyond represents exactly what Stevieontay Burnz is attempting to build.
The music is one part of a much larger vision.
As an artist, Burnz is building his catalog and identity independently. As an entrepreneur, he is continuing to develop The Southern Maryland Experience as a recognizable cannabis-focused retail and lifestyle brand.
Those paths now meet in Burnz and Beyond.
Instead of simply rapping about cannabis culture from the outside, Burnz’s music comes from someone actively involved in the industry — dealing with the long hours, risks, regulations, branding, customers, products, and constant pressure involved in building a legal cannabis business.
That gives Burnz and Beyond a perspective that goes beyond cannabis references alone.
It’s the soundtrack to the lifestyle behind them.
What’s Next for Stevieontay Burnz
With Wax Wizardry kicking off the rollout September 30, Stevieontay Burnz is entering the next stage of his independent career with new music, expanded media coverage, and continued growth surrounding The Southern Maryland Experience.
For Burnz, the goal isn’t simply to release another album or operate another dispensary.
It’s to build an ecosystem where music, cannabis culture, entrepreneurship, art, and community can exist under one identity.
And with Burnz and Beyond, those pieces are beginning to come together.

Hip hop has grown into one of the world's most influential cultural forces, shaping far more than music. In Unbecoming: The Miseducation of a Poet, author Taquarius Ford explores how hip hop, media, education, religion, and culture influence identity, beliefs, and the way we see ourselves.
Rather than criticizing hip hop, Taquarius Ford examines its cultural impact and invites readers to ask an important question: How much of who we are was intentionally chosen, and how much was shaped by the world around us?
Through personal reflection, cultural commentary, and poetic storytelling, Taquarius Ford encourages readers to think critically about the messages they consume and the voices that have helped shape their lives.
"Culture is one of our greatest teachers," says Taquarius Ford. "The question isn't whether we're being influenced. The question is whether we're aware of what's influencing us."
As conversations continue across the hip hop community about authenticity, mental health, entrepreneurship, relationships, and cultural responsibility, Unbecoming offers a timely perspective on the power of culture to shape individuals and communities.
Unbecoming: The Miseducation of a Poet by Taquarius Ford is available now.

DL, a multi-talented artist hailing from the gritty streets of Queens, NY, has carved a unique path in the world of hip hop, acting, and entrepreneurship. With an unyielding commitment to authenticity and being the “genuine article,” DL has emerged as a true force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
Rising to prominence, DL’s breakout role came in the cult classic film “King of Paper Chasin’,” where he showcased his acting chops alongside his underground banger, “Bossman.” The film not only captivated audiences but also solidified DL’s position as a multifaceted talent. It was in this defining moment that DL’s artistry began to transcend traditional boundaries, capturing the essence of the streets and the struggles faced by many.
DL’s journey has been marked by setbacks and personal tragedies, including the sudden loss of his younger sister. These hardships have served as powerful catalysts for his artistic expression, allowing him to channel raw emotion into his music and performances. Through his art, DL offers a glimpse into the depths of human experience, delivering messages of resilience, hope, and triumph over adversity.
In his music, DL seamlessly blends his Queens upbringing with his passion for hip hop, creating an unmistakable sound that resonates with fans worldwide. His song titles reflect his diverse range, from the introspective anthem “Good 2 B Here” to the infectious energy of “Off Da Books.” With his latest single, “DAF,” DL introduces a fun and sexy vibe, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
Beyond his individual accomplishments, DL has established his own entertainment company, Triplebeam Worldwide. The name “Triplebeam” serves as a powerful reminder of DL’s roots, ensuring he never forgets where he comes from. It also carries a message of motivation and inspiration for those seeking a way out of their circumstances, a testament to DL’s unwavering belief in the transformative power of music and art.
Driven by a deep desire to give back, DL recently founded the Triplebeam Dreams Foundation. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to uplifting and inspiring the youth who face daily struggles similar to those DL encountered as a young man in the inner city. Through various initiatives, the foundation aims to provide resources, mentorship, and opportunities for personal and artistic growth, empowering the next generation to overcome obstacles and chase their dreams.
DL’s magnetic presence, coupled with his genuine passion for his craft, has garnered him a dedicated fan base that stretches far beyond his hometown. Whether he’s captivating audiences on screen, delivering captivating performances on stage, or making a difference through his philanthropic efforts, DL continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.
In a realm often characterized by pretense, DL’s commitment to authenticity shines through, making him a true beacon of inspiration. Through his artistry, resilience, and philanthropy, DL embodies the power of the human spirit, reminding us all that no setback is insurmountable and that dreams can become a reality.
In DL’s latest release, “Copy”, the artist steps into the part of the journey people never repost. The nights where the wins slowed down. The moments when support disappeared. The times he was counted out, overlooked, underestimated—and expected to fade like everybody else who almost made it.
This is where the imitators stopped watching.
Because copying the image is easy.
Copying the pressure isn’t.
Copying the confidence is easy.
Copying the doubt you have to beat in private isn’t.
When the momentum shifted and the spotlight moved somewhere else, the question wasn’t whether people believed anymore.
It was whether he still believed.
And that’s where the separation happened.
Beam II is about surviving the silence…staying solid when nobody’s calling…and finding the will to keep building when the world already moved on.
Some people tried to copy the look.
Nobody could copy the endurance.
Check out “Copy”, out now on all platforms, and make sure you follow DL on social media for his latest releases.

As Black History Month closes and Women’s History Month begins, a comeback story rooted in resilience, loss, and legacy is unfolding.
The industry might want to pay attention.
R&B singer Wadena has officially stepped back into the spotlight with her new single “Bum Busta,” produced by Grammy-winning Atlanta heavyweight Zaytoven — and the early numbers are turning heads.
Released on Valentine’s Day, the record made immediate impact:
For an independent artist who previously struggled to surpass 1,000 streams, the surge marks a significant shift.
“This is organic. No label machine. Just resilience,” Wadena says.
A Decade of Industry Tension
Wadena says she spent over ten years navigating industry disputes tied to past songwriter credit conflicts involving Grammy-winning superstar Alicia Keys.
“For years, every time I tried to relaunch, something would collapse,” she says. “But talent doesn’t expire.”
She says the shift in today’s independent music climate has finally allowed her to reconnect directly with supporters.
Personal Battles Behind the Comeback
While navigating professional setbacks, Wadena was also fighting deeply personal battles.
The singer recently recovered from a brain injury while supporting her father, who was hospitalized in a brain ICU on Long Island, New York, after suffering severe injuries in an incident at a Hilton-branded hotel that was reported in the news and described as involving racial discrimination. He later passed away on Mother’s Day, May 11, 2025, following a prolonged health decline.
“That season almost broke me,” she says. “But it built me.”
Enter “Bum Busta”
Produced by Zaytoven — widely recognized as one of Atlanta’s most influential hitmakers — “Bum Busta” delivers bold energy, sharp lyricism, and unapologetic comeback confidence.
With over 1,000 songs written, Wadena says her return during the transition from Black History Month into Women’s History Month feels symbolic.
“As a Black woman in this industry, resilience is part of the story,” she says. “This moment means something bigger.”
“They tried to bury me,” she adds. “But I grew.”
The question now isn’t whether she’s returning. It’s whether the culture is ready.
“Bum Busta” is now streaming on all major platforms.

This month marks the launch of Scroll Up Magazine, the culture’s newest voice and the first publication designed specifically to bridge the gap between the incarcerated community and the rapidly evolving world of hip-hop, social media, and street culture.
Founded by Crystal Gotti and Richie Forbes, Scroll Up Magazine addresses a critical need: keeping those behind bars connected to the culture they helped build but have been locked out of experiencing. For the estimated 1.9 million people currently incarcerated in the United States, staying connected to family, friends, and the cultural movements happening on the outside has never been more challenging – or more important.
“You don’t scroll the jack – you scroll the page,” says Crystal Gotti, Co-Founder and Culture Editor. “Some of our readers haven’t touched down in years. They have no idea what a TikTok video looks like, what’s trending on Instagram, or what’s moving the culture right now. We bring the world to their hands – unfiltered, unbought, and unstoppable.”
What Makes Scroll Up Different:
Unlike traditional magazines, Scroll Up Magazine transforms the digital experience into print, featuring:
Viral TikTok videos captured as photo sequences with captions Instagram posts pulled directly from the timeline Memes, video stills, and social media moments that define the culture.
Issue One launches with a powerful cover story:
“Welcome Home Pooh Shiesty” An in-depth feature on the Memphis rapper’s recent release from federal custody after three years, his welcome home celebration, and his plan to reclaim his throne in hip-hop.
Who This Magazine Serves:
Scroll Up Magazine is essential reading for:
Incarcerated individuals seeking connection to the culture and current events. Families and loved ones of the incarcerated who want to send meaningful, engaging content and Hip-hop enthusiasts who value authentic, street-level perspectives.

Los Angeles, CA — The buzz across the music industry is undeniable. Hip-hop legends Sen Dog (Cypress Hill) and Kemo The Blaxican (ex- Delinquent Habits) have joined forces as Negros De La Raza, and their forthcoming single “Para Mi Gente” (out October 17, 2025) is already being hailed as a defining moment for Latin hip-hop—a powerful anthem of identity, unity, and resilience.
A thunderous fusion of Latin rhythm, street wisdom, and generational pride, “Para Mi Gente” speaks directly to the people it represents—those who have carried the weight, built the foundation, and kept the culture alive. The record’s anthemic energy, produced by Fiyastarta, captures both the grit of the streets and the soul of a movement.
Early tastemakers and insiders are calling it “a new chapter in Latin hip-hop” and “the kind of track that crosses boundaries and generations.”
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name Negros De La Raza translates to “Blacks of the Race”—a statement of cultural truth and solidarity that reclaims identity while honoring shared roots. It reflects the Afro-Latino and Indigenous bloodlines woven through Latin America and the diaspora, uniting communities often divided by language, geography, or color.
For Sen Dog, whose heritage traces back to Afro-Latino Cuban roots, and Kemo The Blaxican, whose background bridges both Black and Mexican identity, the name isn’t just symbolic—it’s lived experience. Together, their collaboration embodies the global unity the song stands for: a reminder that rhythm, struggle, and pride transcend borders.
“We both come from places where identity is layered and powerful,” says Kemo. “This project is about embracing that—being proud of every piece of who we are and where we come from.”
A Legacy That Runs Deep
Few names carry the legacy of Latino hip-hop like Sen Dog and Kemo The Blaxican. Sen Dog, as a founding member of Cypress Hill, helped break barriers for Latino artists worldwide—his voice becoming synonymous with West Coast rap and cultural authenticity. Kemo, the unmistakable voice of Delinquent Habits, helped pioneer bilingual hip-hop with storytelling and rhyme skills that bridged barrios and borders.
Together, under the banner Negros De La Raza, they represent not just collaboration but cultural convergence—the merging of history, rhythm, and purpose into a sound built to unify.
Produced With Purpose
Behind the boards, Fiyastarta delivers production that feels both cinematic and streetwise—layering Latin percussion, hip-hop drums, and soulful undertones into a sound built for stadiums and global playlists alike.
The track’s scratches by Peoplemover bring classic authenticity, while the music video, directed by Jorge Newman, gives visual life to the anthem. From the humble backdrops to the faces in the crowd and the flags in the air, the video embodies what the title means: for the people.
A Movement Takes Shape
With anticipation mounting among DJs, tastemakers, and streaming curators, “Para Mi Gente” is poised to resonate across continents—from Los Angeles to Latin America, Europe and beyond. Its timing couldn’t be more perfect: in an era calling for unity and representation, Negros De La Raza stand at the intersection of legacy and liberation.
“This isn’t just a song,” says Kemo. “It’s a declaration. It’s pride, struggle, rhythm, and hope—all rolled into one.”
“We made this for the people who never stopped believing,” Kemo continues. “For the ones who put in work, hold their heads high, and move forward no matter what.”

Through her movement BTG, she fuses cosmic storytelling with gritty truth, weaving anthems that offer both escape and deep inspiration. Every verse reflects her journey—from surviving trauma and overcoming adversity to standing tall as a fearless voice for women reclaiming their worth, power, and divine royalty. Her artistry, not only is it heard but it also is felt—an energy that empowers audiences to embrace their scars, shine in their truth, and wear their crowns with pride.
More than an artist, BambiTheGawdess is a symbol of resilience and rebirth, a storyteller of transformation, and a rising star who embodies the truth that greatness is forged in fire. Her presence demands attention, her message sparks empowerment, and her sound marks the arrival of a new era where authenticity reigns supreme.
Her new single, “Catch Up”, is a fearless anthem of resilience, power, and unapologetic confidence. Blending raw lyricism with undeniable energy, the track delivers a message to anyone doubting her rise—you can watch, you can run, but you’ll never keep up with her pace.
At its core, “Catch Up” is a reflection of life’s balance—the heat and the cold. It’s about facing heated situations with strength, surviving the coldness of others, and still standing tall in the middle of it all. That clash of fire and ice is the energy behind the record—bing bow—the sound of impact, the collision of extremes that create power.
More than a track, it is a statement: no matter the climate, no matter the challenge, BambiTheGawdess will always stay ahead.

BambiTheGawdess emerges from the heart of Baltimore, carrying the grit, resilience, and raw truth of her city in every verse. Her music is born from survival—transforming pain into power and scars into strength. Each track is a reflection of her journey through struggle, healing, and rebirth, making her artistry not just entertainment but testimony.
Her inspiration comes from life itself—the battles she’s fought, the crowns she’s earned, and the women she uplifts through her story. She draws power from her past but refuses to be defined by it, instead turning hardship into fuel for her art.
As an artist, she is inspired by legendary voices who blended truth with power—icons like Tupac, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill, Cardi B, GloRilla and Beyoncé—figures who spoke unapologetically, embraced authenticity, and shifted culture. Just like them, she is building a movement where music is more than sound—it’s freedom, healing, and revolution.
For BambiTheGawdess, every performance is a reminder that true royalty isn’t given—it’s earned. She embodies divine feminine energy, using her voice to inspire others to rise, reclaim their crowns, and recognize that even from the fire, greatness can be born.

Rising artist Kunte Kente is back with more heat! The talented artist returns with his highly anticipated mixtape titled “Black Dynamite“. Make sure you check it out now on all platforms and be sure to follow him on social media for his latest releases.
Kunte Kente is a multifaceted artist hailing from Gary, Indiana, who represents Syracuse, NY, and Connecticut. His diverse musical exposure has shaped his artistry. He is signed to MNS Records, a label he founded to release his music independently, free from the constraints imposed by major labels. This decision was also influenced by numerous disloyal friends and unscrupulous promoters, which compelled Kente to rely on himself.
Despite his continuous pursuit of a record deal, he faced various rejections, each citing different reasons for his lack of success. Frustrated and determined not to let deceitful individuals hinder his aspirations, Kente dedicated his days to music and his nights to street life. Eventually, he recognized that to be present for his children, he needed to leave the streets behind and pursue a legitimate path. Consequently, he secured two jobs and invested his earnings into honing his musical craft.
Kente has performed at the 50 Mics and has taken the stage numerous times across Connecticut and New York. His ambition is to elevate his MNS brand to the status of renowned labels like Duck Down or Rawkus Records. Kente is open to collaborating with any artist who shares the M.O.E. ethos, without compromising on integrity, honor, or resorting to selling out for success.

Seen in the studio with none other than Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Latin producer Lil Geniuz, Miami’s rising star RichKiidNick has fans and industry insiders asking the same question:
Is an album on the way?
After a string of emotional hits, viral moments, and iced-out visuals, RichKiidNick is proving he’s more than just a lifestyle — he’s a movement. Known for his melodic pain-infused flows, boss energy, and signature Miami shine, Nick’s link-up with Lil Geniuz has the streets AND the blogs talking.
With Geniuz’s track record of producing for Latin giants and chart-topping records, and Nick’s story-driven lyricism and loyal following, this collab could be the crossover album we didn’t know we needed.
Stay locked.
The vibe? Luxury. Realness. Global appeal.
The moment? Now.

Da Foundation has recently performed at the Levono Center in Raleigh, NC. but the movement will not stop there. Continuing their journey, Da Foundation, recently released their album Sabbat Noir on May 20, 2025. Da Foundation continues to create music that is relatable, as they speak from existing moments as well as the past.
"Lust Paradise is a product of relief. It also can be a product of accountability. We often associate lust with love or love with lust and never hold ourselves accountable to the outcome...." Casso stated during the post album review of Sabbat Noir. "It’s hard to single out a track and say it has the most impact when each song represents something unique. In a space where we focus on substance in our music each song has its own impact equally."
Da Foundation speaks from the heart when they are in the music studio, which is why whenever these artists have a chance to perform on stage, they leave the crowd applaud.
The combination between Mu Smoova and Mile Casso only creates lighting and heat. Producers like Emmanuel Williams as Manny Beats Chi, vTomic and Track Pros and Dreez of Global Sound, all would say, these two are magical and one of a kind when they are in the studio.
Da Foundation performed a fans favorite City of Gold and Lust Paradise well as Joe Lighting and Pussy.
"Favorite songs is a tie between Lust Paradise and City of Gold I just really enjoy the beat and tempo.." Mu Smoova stated.
Da Foundation says this album is going to raise the bar. Stay tuned!

Hybrid Collapse is a boundary-blurring audiovisual AI project that fuses electronic music, generated visuals, and critical theory into a single immersive experience. The work is not merely an album or a series of videos — it's a conceptual framework for navigating life in a world dominated by digital abstraction, biopolitical control, and posthuman aesthetics.
The debut album Biopolitics is a meticulously structured narrative told across ten tracks, each accompanied by a corresponding AI-crafted video. The music moves from ambient decay to glitch-infused industrial and dystopian pop, building a world where identity is no longer stable but perpetually reprogrammed. Themes of surveillance, sexuality, artificial embodiment, and algorithmic behavior are embedded into both the sonic and visual layers, creating a unified, confrontational aesthetic.
What sets Hybrid Collapse apart is its integration of philosophical depth with striking cinematic style. The project draws on thinkers like Agamben, Haraway, and Baudrillard, translating abstract ideas into visceral, hyperreal sequences. Visually, the videos feature haunting figures — black-robed priestesses, synthetic lovers, faceless enforcers — all enacting rituals in bleak urban and ritualistic environments. Fire, oil, and shadows become symbols of sacrifice, transformation, and spiritual surrender to technological systems.
Unlike many AI-driven art experiments, Hybrid Collapse isn’t about novelty — it’s about meaning. Artificial intelligence is not a tool here, but a voice within the system. It co-authors the collapse.
Biopolitics is an act of resistance and a requiem — a refusal to submit quietly to digital hegemony, even while dressed in its skin. It is both warning and prophecy.
