Artist Spotlight – ‘M!xBreed’

Posted on by

Hailing from the DMV M!xbreed is bringing a fresh style to the Hip-Hop game.  With so many different artists, rappers, crews, etc mixing it up throughout the DMV, it takes a special breed to outshine the rest of the competition.  M!xbreed is doing just that making sure that he creates his own lane.  M!xbreed is an enigma to say the least. Everything you look for in an artist but nothing you’d ever expect. Lyrical, energetic, charismatic, M!xbreed consistently strives to not only be the best but also the most original. With a seemingly unorthodox style and flow makes him sound perfectly out of place.

M!xbreed began pursuing his passion after making a name for himself at Woodbridge High School (VA) with the first four bars he uttered. There was a group of guys banging on lockers & a trash can recreating the beat to Pharell’s “Grinding.” He walked in the hallway and said, “Grinding… Girls only thing in my mind B, Girls call me Mikey… Flow in my veins like I.V./ I mean I got it in the bag like an I.V./ Tell Timbaland I’m def (deaf), he should sign me”. Those 4 bars set the integrity for the rest of his life. He signed with DC’s number one independent recording label and booking agency G Town Entertainment/Music. Now, he does shows with artists such as Jeezy, Juvenile and Young Dro. Stayed tuned and watch the birth of the next “ONE.”  You can find his music on both iTunes and Amazon. Check out his latest single “Lost.”

We all know Tamar Braxton to be a fiery, sassy, and no holds bars kind of woman.  However, it was a time when Tamar didn’t have all that confidence and spark, and her light wasn’t so bright.  In an interview with socialite Necole Bitchie, Tamar opened up to 30 other women in a special sit down chat with questions from the audience. She talked about having to fake the confidence until she was able to fully regain control of herself. Check out the emotional but inspiring interview below:

I knew from the moment that I watched the season opener of “DWTS” that Amber Riley was a strong contender for the crown.  Well deserved!!

Dancing through knee pains & injuries throughout most of the season, “Glee” star Amber Riley killed the competition Tuesday night and copped the “DWTS” crown.  In the final three competition, she beat out Corbin Bleu and Jack Osburne for the title.

Her message to the audience when she won: “No matter your size or color…. you can do whatever, whatever, whatever you put your mind to!”

Kanye West stopped by Power 105′s “The Breakfast Club” and SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning” on Tuesday, but only one radio show got him heated.

Walt Disney, Nike, Google—now who’s gon’ be the Medici family and stand up and let me create more? Or do you want to marginalize me till I’m out of my moment?”

Sway responded, “Or why don’t you empower yourself and don’t need them and do it yourself?”
