Listen as Alyssa Colón uses her angelic voice and clever songwriting to drop an amazing message over uptempo trap percussion and an ominous loop. Her words touch the soul!

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.



D.A.R.E or Drug Abuse Resistance Education is a program which originated back in the 80's to prevent the use of drugs. Today, rising alternative R&B artist/producer, Papi Lotus, addresses the drug abuse issue in a very unique way with his powerful new video titled “D.A.R.E”. 



Papi Lotus and director, Luke Conway have created a dark and deteriorated world which serves as a metaphor for a tainted past relationship. The 1st thing you hear is soothing ominous distortion. Then all of a sudden you will be blown away by a botanical garden of audio and beautiful auto-tuned harmonies. However, you can feel the friction early as Papi Lotus sets the scene. He immediately addresses better things that he could be doing with his time rather than being with her. She is a drug and alcohol abuser who he seems to recognize less and less until she disappears completely. Papi Lotus has made a successful career for writing stories that captivate and educate. He says, “I feel like alot of my friends and people I knew, lost apart of themselves to drugs. I really wanted to put a song out there against drugs, kind of like an anti-drug campaign.”



 In addition to dropping the hot new video, Papi Lotus recently spoke with USA Blog Network's #TheDopeness interview series, giving detailed behind-the-scenes info about the new vid. Watch “D.A.R.E” and download it today on Spotify!

More about Maraiika~

"My name is Maraika Harris, I am from one of the hottest musical city’s, Toronto. My background is Jamaican and Guyanese. Since my father passing i have been living with my mother. I started dancing when i was 3 years old which lead me to enter a dance competition with kids that was 16 when i was 6. I always loved dancing but i fell in love with singing when i was 14. I did not know i could actually sing until people around me were insisting how much i should that this seriously. While attending St.Edmund Campion Secondary School at 16 I joined a club named “midi club” we did a miniature music video and preformed for the Dufferin-Peel faculty. That year really sparked my drive to sing and make my own music.Music has always been a huge part of my life.Music helped me through the toughtest points in my life and at the tender age of 15,many people began to tell me they loved my voice and believed i could make it far as i singer. i began to dabble in song writing and found releasing my feelings,concerns and aggressions on paper to be very therapeutic and i also found it inspiring to me that people that people my age could relate to my music and this is what has kept me going thus far."

What hits you right away with LaLa's new album "JazZy LaLa" is everything! The overall theme of the project is definitely smooth and flows thoughout. All the instruments sound so amazing.
