Traci Braxton "Crash and Burn" (@TraciBraxton)

Written by Mister Promo | September 25, 2015

Traci Braxton

Born Traci Renee Braxton, Traci is best known for her role in WEtv's hit show "Braxton Family Values".  This woman has a flame and its burning bright. Traci may derive from a musical family, however, she cannot be held in comparison to either of them in sound. Aside from her vocal talents she is also a writer. Not to mention, she has studied classical ballet, learned to play the drums and dabbled in acting in her childhood as well as in her adult years. As an adult you would have seen her with her husband, Kevin Surratt, in Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.

Traci is the third child following Toni and Michael Braxton. She may be one of the middle children along with Towanda Chloe, but I believe that it's clear that because of her many talents, being overlooked is not a factor. Let's get onto the music, Shall we?

"Last Call"
(Official Music Video)

This is in fact Traci's debut single off her album titled, Crash and Burn. It definitely sets the mood for what to expect on this album. Including songs, Holding On, DWLY, and What About Love.

Originally from Severn, MD and currently still residing in Maryland, Traci began her music career in 1990. She was apart of a RnB group, The Braxtons. She formed this group with her sisters. Although she would only be apart of the group to release one song titled "Good Life". This because Kevin Surratt Jr. (her only child) became the new light of her life when she found out she was pregnant with him.

In 2011, Traci and her sisters would rejoin once again to create WEtv's "Braxton Family Values". Then in just two years in 2013 Traci would begin her solo singing career. She signed with an independent media conglomerate Entertainment One under eOne Music and Soul World Entertainment.

On October 7, 2014, her solo album Crash and Burn would be released. It would reach #11 on the relaunched Billboard R&B Albums chart and #1 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.

With numbers like these, It's as if she has never left the music scene.

Taija New - "Newbian King" (@TaijaNew)

Taija New

The woman behind who you view onstage. She is more than just a Hip Hop lyricist and dancer. She is also a songwriter and one of the very, very few hardest working female indie artist I know. This woman holds talent in many areas.

Taija has put forth an extreme amount of hours to combine her love and passion for music, dance, art and life together to create the ultimate experience for you, her audience. 

Her heavy hitting (and at times) carnal texts demonstrate her ability to conform to every genre, tempo, and rhythm of tune. Yet this is all done entirely, still, with you in mind, her audience. 

Taija is currently working on her debut EP "Color Me Complex". Which features her sophomore single, "Newbian King".

Performing this single live for the first time it received the exact amount of attention it should have. Amazing!

Check that out in the video below.
I implore that you watch the entire video. It features two singles by Taija New, however, Newbian King begins at 4:07.

This performance was filmed live at the
1st Annual Latino Festival
Hartford, CT.

The phenomenal, Taija New.
The self-motivated, Taija New.
The all around talked about,
at the same time, America's 
best kept secret, Taija New.
This woman has enough drive
to power a 2016 Bugatti Veyron.

If you aren't ready for her,
then I suggest you take a backseat.



Taija New is moving in every
direction except down.
This Springfield, MA resident,
born and raised, just may be
what the city needs to jump start
the music industry outside of the
rock/alternative music scene.

There are many rap artist residing in
Springfield, MA who have talent but
very few possess the vision for success.
Taija New has both.

Teisha Matthews

You may know of TM in multiple ways. For she has a skill in various areas. One, modeling. As you can see judging from the photo presented just above. Two, a presenter. Such as the YouTube Video titled "How Not To Approach Women!" This is, in fact, where I saw her first. Hilarious.

And more recently, "How to conceal Dark Circles/Under Eyes"

Oh and three, you most likely know of her as an awesome Disc Jockey.

Let's cut to the chase. If you are like me you get uncontrollably excited when you see a female disc jockey. Sometimes a DJ could be mixing their tunes so good that you just want to spend your entire paycheck on drinks for the DJ. However, the DJ is usually a male and in my case, I'm also a male. I believe I would be sending the wrong message if I were to do that for a male DJ. Now, if I entered a party or a club and the DJ were Teisha, without a doubt, it would be a wrap and I would be broke.

Her mixes have this throwback feel. Their like yesterday wrapped in the present. These mixes are definitely party starters. Check'em out!

"Living Life with a Purpose, while dreaming of greatness!"

~ Wordsmith ~

In the words of Wordsmith the quote presented just above could not read with more motivation than what is delivered already.

I remember when I first signed up for twitter. It was in the Summer of 2009. One of the first local celebs to follow me was Wordsmith. The first thing I thought was, "how did he get verified?" Then I began to research him and that is when it became clear. This guy is a genius. Or perhaps just a man with a dream that he had plan to see through.
~ MPsays

The Past for Wordsmith.

"WORDSMITH has called many places around the world home. The son of a former full-time Army Colonel meant home changed often; from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, Texas, Kansas to as far as Germany. Growing up with the always inevitable relocation, Word found rap to be a powerful constant. His knowledge stems from starvation as he would save his lunch money each week to buy classic tapes from Redman, Big L, Nas, Eric B. and Rakim, Jeru the Damaja, A tribe called Quest, Da Bush Babees, Krs One, Gangstarr, Das Efx, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and his cousin Roc Marciano. Going away to school finally settled Word in one place, Maryland, first Morgan State with a full scholarship to play football, and finally Salisbury University where he continued football and received his B.A. in Theatre, Class of 2002.

The Present for Wordsmith.

Wordsmith, the man behind the lyrics. Being a hip-hop artist can really take a toll on a person. There are so many stereotypes that come along with performing in this genre. The "noise" that is classified as a musical theme for the "urban" communities. Over the years Word outgrew and overcame the negative stereotypes. With that he earned the opportunity of performing shows in not just clubs, but grade schools, colleges, theaters and festivals.
~ Co-MP

One thing people fail to realize about rap and hip hop lyrics is that not all tracks consist of sailor talk. Meaning, Wordsmith creates his music free from prophanity. Yet there are still messages to be received and through his outstanding style it is grasped by rock, pop, alternative and jazz music audiences.
~ Co-MP

This caused a cross-genre appeal. Growing fame brought a demand for a professsional presentation for a more diverse audience. This being why The Big Band Theory was formed. To provide a greater appearance and accumulate much larger and more sufficient bookings.
~ Co-MP

Wordsmith has toured throughout his career with stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas, Boston, Baltimore, Washington DC, Charlotte, Indianapolis, San Jose, Harrisburg, and overseas in London, England. He has both lectured and performed at various music conferences around the country sharing his great music and professional experience with other indie artists; conferences include SXSW, A3C, Mid Atlantic Music, Millennium Music, Launch and more. Wordsmith also visits grade schools to perform for students and promote anti-bullying messages.

As of yesterday, the Nu Revolution music and merchandise just went live. You can now support this present and future music mogul by purchasing hats, shirts and music from his site. ~~>> http://www.nurevcamp.com
