Moose Biggz still hustling hard and smart with new hip-hop single “Hustle Harder” and its EP
With “Hustle Harder, Pt. 2,” and its EP, Lucid Dreams, Texas hip-hop artist Moose Biggz is making a statement and at the same time opening the “latest chapter” in his music career.
The single, its video and the album drop on August 16.
It is a song first released on his EP Love Ballads 4 a G, but in this remix, it is expanded with features by artists S.U.C. Captain, LGND, Don Ke, Neka Nesha and Maine 1.
“‘Hustle Harder’ is kind of self-explanatory,” said Moose, citing a couple lines from the chorus.
Hustle harder, hustle little smarterMe and my niggas that was starvin’Trying to get this money every dayMomma raised me off fixed income
“It talks about the struggles of traditional urban youth, sometimes coming from broken homes, broken families, doing what they have to do to survive, be it legal or illegal.”
Raised up food stamps, raised in the hoodGot me up to no good
“As the saying goes, ‘It ain’t what you do, it’s how you do it.’ You can still do things with dignity, even sometimes if you’re not standing correct morally. Obviously, you want to be in alignment with both, but, yeah, hustle harder, hustle a little smarter.”
“Hustle Harder, Pt. 2” is a hip-hop anthem, with the rap backgrounded by melodies and beats that are, by turns, militaristic, R&B and hip-hop.
Moose’s smarter hustle included a degree from the C.T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston, an hour’s drive from Bryan-College Station, where he was born and raised.
He describes an upbringing in an underprivileged, under-financed household in the ’hood, where lighting was sometimes candles, water for baths was heated on the kitchen stove and, when the gas was off, cooking food over a lantern.
“We lived in a shotgun house at one point in time. When it rains the roof caves in on you — literally, the insulation and the sheet rock is falling on you. You’re enmeshed in poverty.”
And sometimes, he said, that upbringing leads desperate people to selling drugs and committing violence, and sometimes it leads people to say, “I want to do my best and be an honor roll student and get out of here.”
Hustle harder, hustle a little smarter.
“That was my story right there. I was an honor roll student, but I did hustle and did what I had to do. So, I was a little bit of all, you know?”
He was in corporate for a while out of college, went to the oilfield for several years, where he lost his taste for 9-to-5 office work, now has a day career that is two weeks on, two weeks off.
“Sometimes,” he said “people aren’t as fortunate as I was. I was lucky. Grace, you know, with God’s grace and mercy, I didn’t ever do any significant jail time, or penitentiary time, but everybody isn’t as fortunate. Some of them get numbers that ruin their lives — 15, 20, 30 years — that’s 16-17-year-old kids who just really were trying to, out of ignorance, make a better life for themselves.”
That’s in the song, too, with a play on words to indicate the difference: momma praying for Jesus’ peace, others spraying a piece.
Though he calls himself fortunate, his college career was not easy. “‘Hustle Harder’ is this,” he said, and told his story:
One day, as he was leaving for work in Houston, a police officer met him at the door with an eviction notice. His roommate had the lease, and he paid her his share of the rent, but she neglected to tell him that she was not paying the landlord.
He lost most everything in the eviction. The officer let him take his work backpack, his bags, a pair of pants, one pair of underwear, one shirt, and he went to work.
They lived on borrowed floor space for weeks.
“The whole time, I had to compartmentalize all of that anger and frustration and still go to work, be able to provide because my kids were still dependent on me, and I still needed to finish school, because that was the purpose of coming down here.”
He continued, “So, I couldn’t just drop out and work full time, because that would have been failure. Like, what was the point of coming to Houston? I lost everything and didn’t even accomplish the goal of what I left for — to get a degree to better your circumstance. So, I finished seeing the course through until I got my degree, but there was some trials and tribulations along the way.”
“That,” he concluded, “was hustle harder, hustle smarter. I was not, at this point in my life, going to take a chance of selling some drugs or something like that, like I had in my youth. I was hustle harder, hustle smarter.”
Lucid Dreams has six tracks in addition to Hustle Harder: “Tonite,” featuring KG; “L’s,” featuring LB; “Persecuted by Pain”; “Making the Bandz”; and “Top of the World.”
“Lucid dreams, you know, are the more vivid, explicit type dreams that simulate reality, where you can remember everything perfectly, every detail, where you can see every definition, every pixel. Sometimes life happens to us like that.”
And sometimes songs.

Anabel Itoha to Release “My Baby,” a passionate new track
Anabel Itoha, originally from Barcelona, takes a courageous leap to relocate from Spain to NYC to pursue her music career. She mentions, “everybody kept telling me I was crazy, but when people tell you that, it’s probably because you’re really up to something.” She describes the depth of sacrifice you have to make to pursue your passion, but “if you really want something, you should just go for it.”At an early age, Anabel’s primary school teacher noticed her powerful singing voice and pointed it out to her mother. Anabel shares that her family helped cultivate a path for her to explore her musical talents through concerts and performances throughout childhood. It wasn't until later when Anabel was fully invested in her dream, and the weight and reality of telling her mother, "No, Mom, I'm not gonna be a doctor; I'm gonna be a singer," truly sank in.When reality hit, it took her family some time to accept her decision. Although they initially joined the chorus of “you’re crazy for moving out of the country—and to NYC, no less,” they still show their support. Moving to the U.S. was no easy feat, which involves more than just cultural adjustment. Despite visa challenges and navigating how to work legitimately on her music and with management teams, Anabel remained undeterred and kept pushing forward.When asked to elaborate further on the challenges of breaking into the NYC music scene, she mentions having to create a name for yourself. It wasn’t just about adapting to a new culture; it was also trying to to keep up with the fast-pace lifestyle of New York City. With everything moving so quickly, you have to figure out your impact in a city full of hustle. Part of making her mark in NYC involved collaborating with artists like Bronx rapper Capella Gray, which gave her a platform to blend R&B, Hip Hop, and Afrobeat influences with her Spanish lyrics. This fusion of genres, driven by her cultural and musical background, creates a truly distinct sound. She also shared the realization of feeling like she was in it and really forging a path when she collaborated with Quimico Ultra Mega, a well-known Dominican rapper. Much of the collaborative and nomadic artistry of her pathway has helped propel her creations and develop the uniqueness of her sound.As she continues to explore her sound and open her heart, you can expect to hear the tenderness and fierceness of her love in her upcoming single "My Baby.”“Through thick and thin, you’re always gonna be my baby,” she shares about the message behind the track. While the song focuses on the good times and reveling in the best parts of being in love, it also casts the importance of being truly in it with someone, no matter the trials and tribulations. Love can be complicated, but it's worth the twists, turns, and growth. The upbeat nature of the song and pop influences make it perfect music to celebrate the sweetness of being in love.When asked what her favorite part of making this track was, she mentioned the opportunity for her to step out of her comfort zone and hit a new range of notes. She joked, “I will be the one to complain about something, while I’m doing it, but I’m still getting it done even though it’s hard.” She described the moment of realization— “Oh, I got this” when listening back over her recording and feeling the triumph of accomplishing something challenging and new.
Between catchy and heart-stirring melodies, a new range of notes, and a fresh take on love, you can expect to hear “My Baby” on September 13th on all streaming platforms. Stay tuned on Anabel’s socials for the upcoming “My Baby” music video, and for more updates on upcoming releases!

Born in Washington DC, raised in the DMV, JJ Sam is finding his way through the music industry. From his music debut in 2011, his last EP “Aloof” JJ has been perusing through genres within his wide discography of two albums and now two EPs. While he consistently includes in depth lyricism in his music, his sound coasts through boom bap, jazz, abstract, and recently more storytelling and poetry. He additionally keeps a strong cinematic presence at his core, most notably influenced by hip hop legends like Nas, tupac, Eminem, biggie, Big L, and more recently Kendrick Lamar and j.cole. His style of music traps the consumers into his music resembling a good movie or a good tv show from his great storytelling.

There aren’t many people who can point to a career full of success as a performer, teacher, storyteller, entrepreneur, and expert. But Michelle Danner can. The legendary acting teacher and founder of the Creative Center for the Arts and the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, Danner is also now well-established as a successful film director. Her last film,“Miranda’s Victim,” stars Abigail Breslin, Luke Wilson, Ryan Phillippe, Emily VanCamp, Mireille Enos, Enrique Murciano, Brent Sexton, Josh Bowman, Sebastian Quinn, Taryn Manning, Nolan Gould, Dan Lauria, Kyle MacLachlan, Andy Garcia and Donald Sutherland. The film tells the true story of Trish Weir (Breslin) who was kidnapped and brutally raped by Ernesto Miranda. The subsequent trials went all the way to the Supreme Court and led to creation of the Miranda Rights. Up next for Danner is the comedy romance film “The Italians,” which stars Matthew Daddario (Shadowhunters), Rob Estes (Silk Stalkings), Perrey Reeves (Entourage), David DeLuise (Wizards of Waverly Place), Olivia Luccardi (It Follows), Lainie Kazan (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), and Abigail Breslin (Zombieland, Little Miss Sunshine). The film is currently playing at festivals around the country. A dedicated mom of two (one is an aspiring filmmaker), Danner still has her “day job” – overseeing the faculty of the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory, and conducting her weekly acting class. Michelle has worked privately with Christian Slater, Salma Hayek, Gerard Butler, Seth MacFarlane, Penelope Cruz, Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union, Zooey Deschanel, Henry Cavill, Isla Fisher and James Franco. A longtime student of legendary acting teachers like Stella Adler and Uta Hagen, Danner’s eclectic approach (which she calls “The Golden Box”) allows actors the freedom to employ a wide variety of techniques. Raised in a show business family and with a deep appreciation for all of the performing arts, Danner also continues to run the boutique “Cinema at the Edge” film festival and is currently preparing to direct a new one-person play, Bonnie Culver’s “Norris,” starring Anne Archer, based on the memoirs of the widow of writer Norman Mailer. Simply put, there’s almost no one in the business who knows as much about acting and success as Michelle Danner – and her continued success in multiple creative fields makes her one of the most successful women working in the industry today.

Regal Rapstar creates the ‘stream vaccine’ with “F the Coronavirus”: the song, album and music
video
By Bobby Martin
Regal Rapstar simply had enough of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Pasadena based Latino-
American rapper/producer released a song with a title that says it all: “F the Coronavirus.”
This is a hard hitting track aimed at the culprit that put the whole world on hold, with plenty of
cool word play and a solid, original beat. It comes from the four track, self-titled EP that was
released in March, and is intended on being a “stream vaccine” that everyone should go get a
dose of.
“I want listeners to remember this song, and be like, this is a guy who covered a topic that
affected us all,” Regal Rapstar said. “This isn’t just like a regular rap song. It’s like a missile.
This isn’t like throwing a firecracker. It’s like a serious potion. That’s for real.”
The track starts with an ominous sounding intro and Regal Rapstar saying, “For those who don’t
know, corona means crown in Spanish. The crown virus.”
“I’ve got the touch like Midas
It’s Regal Rapstar minus the coronavirus.”
It continues: “You got the whole world going berserk, that’s why I want to see coronavirus dead
in a hearse.”
The beat for “F the Coronavirus” is all his, Regal Rapstar explained, but originally it was
supposed to be a sample of “New York, New York” by the Dogg Pound. Being a producer, he’s
got beats for days, and can pull them out of his back pocket like a magician. Instead of diving
into established old school tracks to pull from, he went for it with his own beat. Regal Rapstar
couldn’t be more pleased with his decision.
“I said to myself, why am I going to sample an old beat? Why don’t I go with a crispy new beat
instead of an old vintage hook? That was what’s up.”
Regal Rapstar was influenced by hip-hop in his late teens while living in Pasadena, California.
He was listening to West Coast rap to start, but what really hit him was the Wu-Tang Clan.
At first rapping was just an illusion, he said, and mostly involved just playing around and
practicing. Once he hit his early 20s, he realized that he needed proper production quality. This
slowed down his career like a brick wall at first, but also led to him learning how to produce. He
never gave up, and once he was able to “put it all together like a sandwich,” that’s when he
began recording and started his label Regal Records.
“I was really good at it, and I knew I was really good at it,” he said. “Listening to a lot of albums
and material gave me more insight than the average person. I had all this data in my brain from
other artists, but I could mix it up and make my own thing. That’s what gave me that edge.”
The music video for “F the Coronavirus” is on Youtube, and one that Regal Rapstar says is
much more than just a video with some words and music.
“It’s artistic with good quality production,” he said. “Every musician has it in their heart, and to be
honest with you, videos are either hard to make or expensive. This one is real, and well done.”
Regal Rapstar said this covers an important topic that affected the whole world, and now there
are even songs to celebrate the overcoming of what occurred on such a grand scale.
Be sure to check out “F the Coronavirus” and the self titled EP, available on all platforms.

Dynamic rock artist Ja’son Manwill advances to the quarter-finals of America’s Next Top
Hitmaker competition, placing him among the top 1% of entrants. This impressive feat
highlights his growing influence in the music industry. With a sharp focus and
unwavering determination, Ja’son aims to win the grand prize: a feature in Rolling Stone
Magazine, a spot on Rolling Stone’s Future of Music lineup at SXSW in 2025, and
$10,000.
When the opportunity arose, Ja’son jumped at the chance to showcase his distinctive
take on rock music. His sound merges classic rock elements with a modern twist,
setting him apart in today’s music scene. As a versatile artist, Ja’son combines
captivating songwriting with his talent for producing vibrant, innovative tracks. This
unique blend has earned him a place among the competition’s elite.
Ja’son’s journey to this point has been fraught with challenges. After a severe traumatic
brain injury in 2016, which left him debilitated, he faced a long road to recovery. Despite
the setback, he remained determined, focusing on regaining his ability to walk and
relearning to play instruments, including his specialty, the piano. During this difficult
period, he strategically planned his musical comeback. His perseverance paid off when
his single “Despair,” echoing influences like Blink-182 and Green Day with vocals
reminiscent of the Sex Pistols, earned him a Grammy nomination six years later.
Ja’son embodies the belief that with enough dedication, any goal is achievable. He
embraces his second chance with enthusiasm, driven by a profound desire to succeed.
“I am stronger today than I’ve ever been. Like, I have a hunger and drive with tenacity
and desire to take everything,” he says. “I’m not saying it’s to be superficial. I’m saying I
want it. I want it more than anybody else wants it because getting back to that point and
taking the Rolling Stone Magazine [feature] would be huge in itself. And then taking the
future of music showcase just shows that if I can do it, you can do it.”
Ja’son’s top finish in the group rounds and his place in the quarter-finals show his
potential to secure the Rolling Stone Magazine feature and the $10,000 prize. Fans can
help the promising artist bring home the gold by voting for him for free by

A Grammy-nominated artist and multi-talented professional, Ja’son is making significant
strides in the industry. His music blends influences from legends like Elton John,
Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica, creating a diverse and dynamic sound.
Whether delivering electrifying tracks or heartfelt ballads, Ja’son’s evolving musical style
keeps audiences engaged and eager for what’s next.

With bass, bongo, snare and guitar, indie pop singer-songwriter Mia Rago pulls you into
her trippy, boppin’ little alt-pop love-gone-wrong song “The Shower.”
And, it has a touch of the operatic, as Mia plays with her classically trained voice and
invites the listener to come play with her in the debris left from a breakup.
“The Shower” releases on August 9.
“It is playful,” she said. “Lyrically, it feels like one big run-on sentence, just the thoughts
going through your head, like, ‘What happened? What did I do? What did he do? What
did they do wrong?’ All this stuff that makes you feel absolutely crazy with a breakup.”
From the start of this affair we were 25 years young
And now I’m starting to regret what I said when I thought
You’re the one who always called
The only man of the hour
And I still just can’t believe I think about you
It will be the second song to be released from her upcoming album — her debut —
Wishing We Could Dream. More singles from the album are coming. The finished
project, with 11 tracks, will drop early next year.
The music video for “The Shower” will be released August 19.
“I had some fun with the music video, too, like, stuff you do post breakup. You know,
eating ice cream. Or just crying. But making it kind of fun instead of depressing and sad.
I wanted it to be upbeat, musically, and I feel like we did, me and my producer, Megan
McCormick.”
With the two singles from the album out this year, she is resuming a career path she
started with the release of a five-track EP, A Sea of Darkness, in 2020. The pandemic
and completing her degree in music interrupted.
“The pandemic did hit right as I was releasing my EP, and then I was in school up until
2022 getting my bachelor’s in music for vocal performance. That was my degree for
opera.”
Her post-college work as an operatic soprano includes performances of Puccini and
Verdi in Italy and singing in master classes and coaching work. She has sung baroque-,
classical-, romantic- and modern-era roles.
But her road to 2024 and the beginnings of a serious music career began with a
diagnosis of scoliosis at age 9 and surgery to correct it at 10. The titanium rods
permanently in her back and a long, painful recovery ruled out the sports and physical
activity she had loved.
Music became, as she says in her bio, the only thing she could rely on.
And, in another twist, she grew up in the funeral home owned by her parents, who also
owned a cemetery.
“Although some people might think it’s very depressing to grow up around that, I feel
like I have tried to appreciate life because I understand how short life is. And although I
do like the darkness of some of my songs, I try to highlight a lightness or a playfulness,
like in ‘The Shower.’”
Then there is the fact that, around the house, Papa sang Frank Sinatra and Mama loved
Elvis.
“I think of myself as an old soul,” she said. “I really love the older music, and I try to
incorporate some of that stuff and some of that writing into my songs.”
If some darkness is inevitable in her music, it comes in music that is beautiful and
versatile. The five songs on her EP, for instance, have country, “Rose,” a song with an
orchestral vibe, “Tension,” a rockish entry in “Alive,” and the very slow, moody,
contemplative “Serendipity.”
“Gone” is an upbeat tempo track that tells a story that is mysterious, ambiguous and
chilling. Did she disappear or was she disappeared?
All are beautiful listening. Mia Rago has a gorgeous voice, which she knows how to use
and clearly loves to play with.
The first track she released this year, “All of My Scars,” a song about her scoliosis, is an
alt-pop ballad of catharsis.
All of my scars, all of my tears
Gave me my pain and brought me here
The stronger my spine, my body and soul
Made up of bones with metal I’m whole
“I think ‘All of My Scars’ was very therapeutic for me,” she said. “I got diagnosed with
scoliosis at the age of 9, and to try to process that as a 9-year-old and then having the
surgery when I was 10 — it was not really possible for me to do, and I ended up
processing it years later.”
The years since A Sea of Darkness has been like a period of “research and
development.”
Going forward, she wants to develop — as long as I can — both her career in opera and
in alt-pop.
“My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between my more indie-pop, alternative stuff and
opera. They’re more closely related than we think. I incorporate opera in some of my
performances, and I feel that, especially on ‘The Shower,’ in the chorus, I was able to
highlight some of my vocal training.”
Still, she says “indie music is a lot more freeing than classical.”
“There’s more rules in classical, and it’s more of a challenge, which is what I like about
it, but it is fun to be able to experiment.”
Fans can only benefit from following her as she creates her bridge.
