Champagne For Everybody - Ali Vegas X Ty Fyffe

What It Sound Like?

This is an honor! The level of respect  from some of the most admirable recording artists RAN gets is priceless. I usually drop tunes from underground artists that are uncharted or on the rise. This emcee already succeeded that before all these platforms were available. One of the few to set an early blueprint on breaking through the surface. @Ali Vegas has rung bells since the early 2000's . 

I remember getting mixtapes from Jamaica Ave when I first heard the Prince. Fellow Queens emcee 50 Cent ciphered with him on a classic over a Nature track. The Boro was in the building that day with @DJ Stretch Armstrong . That's a DJ you better know about!  This was a small dose compared to the amount of impacting stars Ali would go on to work with. After parting ways with former label, Trackmasters he stayed on his grind.  He would continue to light up mixtapes, plus land verses on Golden Era albums. Vegas didn't limit himself to rapping, consulting for celebs you know became a regular thing for him. 

There are enough stories and name drops to write a book series, but I wan't to get into this heat produced by @Ty Fyffe.  Don't be fooled by the jazzy instrumental, these lines are not your typical toast. He's over the comparisons, along with deal setbacks. Here to claim what's his. The only thing separating his career from bigger names was companies that tried to hold him back. Lyrically, he let's you know he's just as nice. Some cases, nicer and he's willing to prove it. "If Nas is Nasty then I'm Despicable, if Jay is God them I'm invincible."Proceeds to go through others that are held in high regard.
I also like how he points out society's stigmas with Jordan / Lebron talk, plus how media does everything in their power not to give Floyd Mayweather Jr his just do. I actually watched an interview where an ESPN anchorman admitted if he was white, he would be getting more praises from media. Ali Vegas is talented, intelligent, and has been mistreated by certain industry entities in a similar way. Despite any roadblocks, the entrepreneur still achieved success without a labels help.  

He deserves all the celebration, however the "For Everybody" part could be taking as a double meaning. Anybody can get it. At the same time, willing to share wealth with the real ones in his corner. This industry is not guaranteed, so it's encouraging to see this brother still doing well nearly two decades later. In his own words, "Winners don't forget how to win." Listen to this smoker, make sure to follow for future joints. Thank you to every reader showing love. Blessings from the Almighty!

The GlamBoss Pop Up: Ali Beauty Supply

What It Sound Like?

Though, this is not necessarily about music, it still involves rhythm. We're mixing it up with beauty &  fashion tonight. As part of our Artist Appreciation Week theme. I want to focus on
@The Siobhan Nicole, and her recently hosted event at @Ali Beauty Supply. I've worked side by side with The GlamBoss in the music end of the entertainment world. However, this kind of establishment is her domain. Some more of the @Coruscation House was in the arena.
@locqueenv  & Miss @Fantasy Photography were a big hand making sure everything went smoothly. 

It was my first time at a hair stylist, pop up shop. So, it was cool to see The GlamBoss live in action. It was like she helped organize the store, the way she directed inquiring clients. In the city of West Palm Beach, this is one of the nicest hair suppliers. Clients from different parts of the town were there for quality products. It's been a long time since I sat in a barber's chair, but they had the most up to date tools I've seen in years. Actually there were some new barber kits I've never seen. Men, women, and the kids all can find something for their hair. 

The GlamBoss is special with addressing people's needs. There were clients at her booth picking her brain, taking pics, and walking away fulfilled. She introduced me to the store owner, Ray. He's generous and a great businessman. One who knows his clients well. This practice of success brought him multiple locations with all the brands you're looking for. Including names on the rise. Speaking of that, @Hair Ecstasy could also be found on those shelves. A product introduced by @Carib Sales.

I'd recommend Ali Beauty Supply to anyone taking care of their mane. Whatever your hair grade is, they got you, and The GlamBoss will help you look like somebody! I have a lot on my head, so I was able to leave with a few goodies for my wool. Congrats to The GlamBoss on another win. Thank you to Ali Beauty Supply and the Coruscation House for having me. I appreciate your hospitality. Also, thanks to our fans supporting us. Take a look at some of  the action. Jah Bless!
