Music industry update | Arizona, USA | Indie artist, Marco Richh

I think I might have just gotten fired, I’m not sure but something really awkward just happened and it ended with a really awkward silence and me slowly backing away from the conversion while making eye contact and then slowly closing the door. So just in case, I’m writing my letter of resignation in case someone tries to fire me – that way I can resign before they get a chance to taint my outstanding resume. 

How does this sound? 



Dear News Room Team, 

F*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you. You ass holes! You bastards have got some nerve. I hope the espresso machine breaks down and you have to drink Starbucks for weeks. I should have shitted in your coffees the first time you called me a nerd and laughed at my big glasses and cheap work shoes when I was just an intern - and I worked in McDonald’s for 3 good years, so you know I’m really good at that. I’ll stir it up real nice and add extra cream - you’ll never know. Now, I am hereby handing you my two weeks’ notice, it will arrive in 3 minutes. Skeet Skeet Skeet m*ther f*ckers. That’s how I sealed the envelope, which you’ve now unsealed. Sticky wasn't it? 

PS: I’ve totally messed with all your browser histories and you’ll never be able to clear them. Not even the overzealous tech guys will be able to help you. Just don’t try to show anyone your Google ANALytics data on your computers from now on. You’ll have a healthy selection of really creepy butt hole related suggestions in the address bar once you are half way through typing the address. I’m sure you are wondering why I just totally gave it away. It’s because there’s more. You’ll all need new browsers, say goodbye to ShittyFox, or FireFuck, or whatever you call that good for nothing slow piece of crap that needs an update every two days. I’m also changing all your passwords and cutting holes in the mouth and crotch of all your life-sized Miley Cyrus cardboard cut-outs and posters. Why the f*ck do you have so many anyway? You're obsessed!  

 


Yours sincerely, 
Smell My



How’s that? What do you think? 

Is it too harsh? Or does it need more RAGE!! I’ve got more, trust me – I’ll be really furious if I get fired, I just bought a brand new Ferrari. Okay I didn't, it's a rental with New Car Scent air freshener. Plus I’ve been nothing but awesome, AWESOME you hear? In fact the other day I saw someone trying to drive home after one of our crazy Monday night office parties and I totally took her back to my place so she wouldn’t drive drunk. See how nice I am? There are so many other examples. 

And I’m sure you would like to know why I think I’m getting fired right? I’ll tell you. 

My boss called me into her office early this morning. I was having an awesome day, just minding my own business. She asked me to sit, that she needed help with something really important. She couldn’t figure out whether to pay the mortgage on her holiday house or her holiday apartment. The first thing I thought when that information met my ears was “I’m asking for a pay rise IMMEDIATELY”. I can’t even pay my own rent sometimes, and this b*tch’s got TWO holiday homes?!!! I’ve never even been on holiday!! I was FURIOUS! But then I said: “Well why don’t you just get rid of the apartment and keep the house if you can’t afford them both? Why do you need 2 holiday homes anyway?” 

She screamed back: “It’s in case I need a f* holiday while I’m on holiday you f* idiot, I do more work on holiday than you’ll ever do your entire life!!”. “And, and what do you mean get rid of it? It’s an investment – do you know how much I’m gonna sell it for in a few years? Of course you don’t, you know nothing about the real world, you probably pay ALL your bills on time and then invest what's left don’t you? Sissy boy!!”. "Wait, do you even invest? Have you EVER invested? Why am I talking to you? Jesus Christ, I'm surrounded by morons! MORONS!" And then she laughed, but in a really sinister way, as if I wasn't even there anymore, and she went back to what she was writing before I came in. As she laughed I responded in a really soft voice, I was getting scared: “Em, isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Pay your bills first?”. And she responded in disgust, she couldn't believe I was serious and I could tell she had concluded that she had wasted so much time talking to an idiot. “OMG!”, “You’re absolutely insane aren’t you?”, “Next thing I know you’ll be telling me to pay my bills monthly by Direct Debit, so people can take money out of my pockets without asking”. When she noticed me about to nod in agreement, she got steamed. She pointed her finger at the door with an expressionless face to let me know she was beyond mad at me. “Get out… GET OUT!! And don’t ever come back here”. It was so awkward, I’ve never been kicked out of anywhere before. To be honest I was more than a little bit scared at that point, so I got up and started to leave really fast, but continued to make eye contact, then I slowed down when I reached the door and started to feel safer. I haven’t seen her all day but I know it’s going to be really uncomfortable. At least I’ve got my resignation letter ready just in case. Please write in the comments section to let me know if it’s good or what I should change. 

Okay let’s get right down to the music news story of the day – this may be my last day here at the SRL News room so I’ll make this brief and then I’ll go and start doing those things I said I had already done in the resignation letter. 

He's the most exciting and most talented new R&B music producer and songwriter to emerge from Arizona, USA this decade, and Marco Richh, who is just as talented behind the scenes as he is on stage is a fast-rising artist whose hits have been praised by some of the most discerning R&B music critics and fans in the world. With hit singles like "Strokin", "High School Lover" and "Have Your Heart", he sang his way into the hearts of local fans and put his name on the map as one of the Southwest region's next big names in R&B when he made his debut a few years back. More recently, with hit singles like "Party", and "Pink Room" his latest, he has made it clear that he's beyond ready for the big stage. This week, he sat down with host CeCe of the popular indie magazine Where It Begins and discussed his career so far, upcoming projects and future plans. The interview is available to stream and download on Spotify, Anchor.fm, Apple Music, YouTube and selected major podcast streaming platforms, as well as selected outlets for independent music. But don't go anywhere, the full interview is available to stream in the Spotify music player below for your convenience.

I feel like I should tell you a little more about Marco to make sure you never forget, and you watch closely as he rises to the top one high note at a time, like you hardly see on MTV anymore. Oh wait, did I mention that this awesome, amazing singer actually, well, SINGS? Well, now you know. 

Okay here's Marco's Soundcloud bio so you don't have to go anywhere to find out more: Learn it, and love it! Also, you'll find a link to his Skunk Radio Live profile at the end of this article. 

"Marco Richh is professionally and formally known as Reggie B and Sanger Boy. Since the susceptible age of five years old, music has been Marco's passion. Beginning with playing a Fisher Price piano at age six, his father saw his raw talent and quickly signed him up for music lessons. Marco would eventually learn how to play the guitar, saxophone and the drums. The beginning of his musical ingenuity began here. During junior high school, Marco would be the first to finish his class assignments; with the reward of performing for his classmates. His teachers would brag about the rising star. After creating some buzz, they started book him to perform in other classrooms. Shortly after his junior high school success, at 15 years old Marco Richh was given a taste of the limelight. He performed for a local radio station in Columbus, Georgia. Foxy 105 Jamz Talent Showcase would be the first of many stages that Marco Richh would light up. His musical background and edification now spans over 19 years. Since the start of Marco's international professional musical career in 2006, he has been featured on BET, Rowdy TV (Dallas Austin’s Profile Website), and Nappy Boy Online. In January of 2010, he performed at the City of Miami Gardens (Florida) 6th Annual Martin Luther King Festival for over five thousand fans. He was 1st place winner in the Foxie 105 Hip Hop Summit. With musical influences such as Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ryan Leslie, Marco Richh is evolving into a rock star in his own right. Marco’s originality, vocal dynamics and creativity reflect those of his musical influences. Catering to the broken hearted with soulful tracks that inspire and music that will make anyone have a feel-good time is how Marco Richh aims to climb to number one on the Billboard Charts. Marco is currently working on his debut album. His desire is to work with chart-topping artists such as T-Pain (Nappy Boy), Ryan Leslie, Kayne West, Lil Wayne, Common, Keri Hilson and Pink. Marco is a bursting ball of energy ready to rock the world. Don’t let the opportunity of his presence pass you by. The Marco Richh experience will leave you captivated, mesmerized and wanting more.

Music industry update | Georgia, USA | Indie artist, Tyler Noel

I had a lot of eggnog last year when I discovered one of my colleagues, Jesus could turn milk into really strong  eggnog. It wasn’t until I stopped to think about where all the milk was coming from that things started to get weird. There were no milk cartons around, I even checked the parking lot for cows. Yes, I was that wasted. And then I looked closer and noticed every time I saw him he always had a bunch of big breasted women around him. I haven’t been the same since so I must warn you, this article will suck ass! And you’ll probably kind of sort of hate yourself a little bit for not stopping reading it right here. 

I recently discovered something that I’d really hate to share with you but as a writer, I feel like I must. It is my duty to educate as well as provide information about amazing things happening in the world. I’m not one of those fancy writers that likes to sit back and dream up exciting stories, or has fantasies that they desperately want other people to have so that they are not alone in their sick sick world. I’m one of those serious types of writers that likes facts and substance when I write. To be honest with you I’m not sure I can share this information with you just now, it's too deep, but if I can, during the course of this exciting music news story I’ll ease into it gently like a virgin butt hole on Christmas Day. OOPS!! Did I just say that? OMG!! I can’t believe I just said that. Oh well, it’s too late to take it back now so whatever. Moving on. And just for the record, I’ve never done any such thing, and the good lord knows if I did, it wouldn’t be on Jesus’ birthday, how sick. I think that was one of my too many eggnogs trying to get out but don’t worry I’ve shoved it back down. Now where were we? Ah yes, that thing I discovered. To be honest with you I don’t think I’ll tell you just now. Let’s get right into this exciting independent music news update first shall we?

Released in the final quarter of 2022, “Cigarettes” is the hot new single by independent R&B music sensation Tyler Noel, who is hailed for being one of the exciting new acts that is keeping the genre alive in its most intrinsic form as she has done since the beginning of her illustrious career several years back. The track is quickly gaining momentum and according to many, is poised to be one of the Atlanta, Georgia, US singer’s most successful records to date. If real R&B music is what you are into then this one’s for you. “Cigarettes” is available to stream and download on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music and all popular digital music streaming, discovery, download and promotion platforms. Watch the official music video below now. 

…wait, before you go. Remember that awesome thing I discovered that I was going to tell you? I think I’m ready to tell you now... 

Here it goes...

“I recently discovered that the chances of God being a male or female are very slim”. 

Don't ask how I know, I just know okay?! It might have been all that eggnog, I don't know. 

I was never homophobic but just to be sure, I've signed up with a whole bunch of LGBTQ communities and charities online and told them to give all my money to the 🤔🤔  … 🤔🤔 ... wait, what’s the politically correct word for them now? I don’t want to get in trouble, I’m not saying anything – the Ts, let’s leave it at that and move on quickly. So what are your thoughts? Are you controlling your thoughts right now to try not to think about God and what he, wait she; "he and she"; wait "neither he nor she"? May look like, or sound like? Are you controlling your thoughts really hard to not feel okay with some of the butt hole pleasures (OOPS!! I meant secret fantasies) you’ve had recently? Are you holding your head right now trying not to think Anything at all? You need a cigarette don’t you? I know I do. Hit play and share this record. Happy smoking. Happy 2023. May it be a prosperous year of abundance of health, wealth, love and good thoughts for you and for me, and for everyone in your family, all your friends, and everyone you share this with too. Have a wonderful day.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Tamara Bubble

Weird stuff keeps me up late at night sometimes. Like: why wouldn’t Ross and Rachel from “Friends” just get back together? They were on a break darn it! Why couldn’t she just understand, and just deal with it? Huh?! I’ve done worse on my lunch break and no one ever found out. Oops!! I’ve said too much. Let’s move on quickly ... 

Or that Laura girl from that old “Family Matters” show. Why wouldn’t she just get with Steve and give him a chance? He wanted her so so bad. Good lord, he wanted her Bad! 

But you know what really keeps me up at night? When is Uber going to start hiring more female or female-friendly drivers? I’m sick of these darn "speed racers"  (and yes, I'm pretty sure they cum too quick as well 😆, after all that's what speed racers do), driving crazy like that driver in that old movie “Ghost”. Sometimes I actually wake up the morning after with only vague memories of getting in a cab; feeling like a ghost and dreading the worst - that the Uber crashed and I died. Then I remember what I’d been doing before getting in the taxi, phew!! and I'm totally relieved. In case you were wondering what I'd been doing, none of your business okay - just stuff. Okay I hang out around rappers sometimes late at night after work alright? You got me. Sue me. And no, I’m no Bill Clinton or Snoop Doggy Dogg, but if you smoke around me I’ll be sure to inhale it, every last bit of it, right before telling you off for smoking indoors or nearby and storming out like I didn't enjoy every bit of it for the several hours that had past, he-he-he. 

But this is not about me, or Uber drivers that cum too quick... 

Brooklyn, New York hip hop sensation Tamara Bubble just released a hot new record with emerging Utah indie pop sensation Shanin Blake. Like many records Tamara has released since the start of her illustrious independent music career, the record is causing a stir among her peers and is once again threatening to raise the bar for emerging female rappers and R&B singers so high Wiz Khalifa would try to reach it (but he's not a female rapper, so he'll never get there obviously). According to many critics this one will be sure to keep a lot of female rappers up at night. The music video for the new track "Lyk Dis" premiered on YouTube on the 1st of June. The song is available to stream and download on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and all popular digital music streaming and download platforms and apps

Music industry update | Georgia, USA | Indie artist, Tyler Noel

Do you sometimes kind of sort of hate everything? 

Don’t lie, I’m serious. I mean, don’t you sometimes think about some of the crazy stuff happening in the world and think to yourself: “these MFs must have really totally lost it”? And by "these MFs" you mean EVERYBODY in the whole damn world. 

I hate talking about politics and I hate people that do it too overzealously – if they know so much about politics and they’re clearly not politicians then we should first address the elephant in the room - that they obviously made the wrong career choices, he-he-he. If they know so much about politics then obviously they should be politicians shouldn’t they? 

Every time I turn on the news and see yet another video of that president Skillachi (😊 or whatever his name is, I’m terrible with names) begging the US and the UK, and other NATO countries to start World War III; my blood boils furiously. I’m empathetic and sympathetic about the whole issue but I’m one of those people that always insists on people handling their own beefs – I don’t give a damn who started it or who is ending it using unscrupulous methods, that’s your business. And for the love of God, could somebody please explain to me why in God’s name a country that has had such a formidable adversary on their ass for so long would elect an entertainer to lead them? That's what has really had me scratching my head. Nevertheless, I wish them well. 

Moving on ...

We’ve all been through so much over the past couple of years, and sadly a lot of us, whether it shows or not, have taken psychological blows. It’s important to be sympathetic to the plight of everyone around because you never know if something you say would be the straw that breaks the camel's hump, and send them straight to the nut house, OR to their basement to make a bomb. 

Music is one of those things that always has a place in any human life during difficult times but sadly the mainstream seems to be becoming less diverse by the day. It’s difficult to listen to songs about fantasy love, red bottom shoes, kissing your BFF and liking it, whatever Simon is saying, make up, hair and nails, Maybachs, helicopters, cocaine and all those exciting things that seem so important to kids and young adults today in the middle of a pandemic and a looming world war. But luck is on your side - you’ve discovered independent music and the best place to find it so you are safe, nothing can get you down during these difficult times. 

If you don’t know about Tyler Noel then let me tell you a little bit about her. Hailing from Atlanta, USA, she has made a name for herself as one of the Southeast’s most exciting new R&B artists and has a powerful voice that is guaranteed to set even the most troubled mind free. Her unique songwriting style and ability to write in a very broad variety of contexts has seen to it that her name is cemented in the minds of any and everyone who has ever had the pleasure of listening; a pleasure you are about to have right now, and that you will probably never forget. 

This week, fans got the rare opportunity to see the exciting independent Atlanta star perform live for the first time since lockdowns started back in 2019. During the short but impactful live performance, she reminded fans why they fell in love with her and why they’d missed her so much. Only a snippet of the full performance has been released so far but we'll publish the full video once it becomes available.

Music industry update | Georgia, USA | Indie artist, Tyler Noel

Over the years, R&B music is one of those genres that played a huge part in not just shaping other genres, but shaping the music industry as a whole. Its fan base is diverse, and crosses over into a wide range of styles of music that draw from it and build on its form. Like many genres, it has evolved significantly over the past couple of decades, so much so that many old-school fans say it’s almost unrecognizable today – with many so-called R&B artists blurring the line between rapping and singing. There are still a lot of exciting new artists who are staying true to what the genre is all about, and are still actually, well, Singing. Atlanta, Georgia’s Tyler Noel is one of such artists. She made her mark locally a few years back with the release of the critically acclaimed single “Lights On” on BET and has remained one of the region’s top rising artists to watch. On the 20th of March, 2021 she released her latest record “Just About Through”. The single is available to stream and download on Spotify, Apple Music and all popular music streaming and download platforms, as well as selected music promotion platforms for indie artists.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Tamara Bubble

Released on the 21st of March, “Boss Moves” is one of several hot new underground hip hop records that is once again causing pandemonium on the East Coast of the United States’ vibrant, highly competitive hip hop scene. 

Female rappers have often found it hard to compete in hip hop and are, even up till today, more than 3 decades after the genre became widely accepted in mainstream entertainment; a minority. But Brooklyn’s fast-rising independent rap sensation Tamara is changing all that. With back to back hit singles, each one better than the last, almost every month, sometimes twice a month even, she is taking her independent hip hop career to levels other rappers wouldn't even dear to dream of going fully independently.

Premiering in a Television commercial for LegalZoom, an online legal solutions and legal documents provider for small businesses and families; the new record scored Bubble yet another licensed music placement that exposed her music to yet another new demographic of potential fans that will no doubt stick around and become a part of her rapidly-growing loyal fan base as she careers down a path of global domination in the highly competitive world of hip hop.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Tamara Bubble

Since Tamara Bubble took New York's underground hip hop scene by storm back in 2017 she has so many music licensing success stories that sometimes it’s hard to keep up. Back in October 2020, in the heat of the infamous pandemic lockdowns that we’ll all be talking about and probably licking our wounds from for years to come, her track “Clockwork” was featured in T-Mobile’s new iPhone commercial. It was her first nationally syndicated television commercial sync licensing placement. T-Mobile is back with another exciting Metro by T-Mobile ad campaign and it features the Brooklyn hip hop star's single “Clockwork” once again - no it's not de ja vu, it's really happening.

Music industry update | Georgia, USA | Indie artist, Jackie's Boy

R&B music in the Southeast of the United States of America hasn’t been the same and probably will never be the same since critically acclaimed songwriter Jackie’s Boy stepped out from behind the curtains to pursue a career as a singer. Having worked with some of the world’s biggest recording artists including Madonna, Johnny Gill, Chris Brown and most recently, Shawn Stockman of the legendary R&B group Boyz II Men, it’s hard to have imagined it any other way. With a vocal performance style that is unique and exciting in ways no other artist has offered in a very long time, Jackie’s Boy is quickly making a name for himself locally and nationally completely independently and according to many of the music industry's top critics and discerning R&B music fans, is poised to be the world’s next big R&B star. In case you haven’t heard already, a few months ago during the heat of the pandemic lockdowns of 2020, the fast-rising multi-talented Savannah, Georgia star started a new web series called Music Mondays, which introduces R&B fans to a new never before heard record live every Monday on social media. Last week’s track was titled “Borrowed Time”. The unreleased song was produced by Miami, Florida based music producer Danny Keys, whose production credits include big names like Kendrick Lamar (K-Dot), Tech N9ne, Meek Mill, Vince Staples, MayDay, Wrekonize, Murs, Ras Kass, M1 and Stevie Stone.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Tamara Bubble

Following a series of exciting licensed music placements that have poured in since she made her mark in hip hop locally and nationally with the release of her critically acclaimed album “Your Favorite Rapper is a Girl” back in 2018, two more of Brooklyn hip hop sensation Tamara Bubble’s tracks have premiered on another exciting VH1 television series. “Absolutely” and “Big Boss” premiered on the internationally syndicated series “My Celebrity Dream Wedding” back in February shortly after her brand new album “I May Destroy You”, which was released on the 1st of February and is, like its predecessor “Your Favorite Rapper is a Girl 2” which was released at the start of the pandemic lockdowns of 2020, is causing pandemonium on New York’s underground hip hop scene and knocking the implants off any female rappers who still haven’t got the memo that she is New York’s new Queen of Hip Hop.

The new single was produced by Pennsylvania, US Emmy award-winning songwriter, music producer and composer Mikey Meiers. It premiered during Season 11, Episode 5 of the popular Showtime US television series “Shameless” on Sunday, the 31st of January; and is available to stream and download on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Deezer, YouTube and all popular digital music services, as well as Soundcloud and selected music promotion platforms for indie musicians and bands.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Tamara Bubble

The new album by independent Brooklyn, New York rap star Tamara Bubble has come at a time when the music industry is in a very vulnerable place both creatively and fiscally. It is shaking every speaker and leaving every hip hop artist and music industry insider on the underground scene with something to think about. But what are they really thinking about after they listen to, what is being called “the final nail in the coffin
 of bubblegum rap"? Or are they just literally speechless? Well, the truth is no one may ever really know, since it is in fact impossible to know what anyone else is thinking unless they spill the beans, but the only thing that’s for sure judging from the general vibe that is going around is that the album will blaze a trail for female rappers - both mainstream and underground, that will be very hard to follow but crucial in the "redemption" of the genre. If your favorite female rapper chews a lot of gum and blinks really fast but can’t seem to do both at the same time without looking absolutely confused consider this album a wake up call that there may never be another “new” Nicki Minaj or the other one, what’s her butt, in the post-pandemic era of hip hop, and a lot less pink (phew! sorry Jay 😁). To cut a long story short this album is giving off the vibes of a total game-changer, but that’s just the word on the street. Look out for the official review on SRL Reviews. 

Stream and download “I May Destroy You” on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon and all popular digital music apps, as well as Soundcloud and selected indie music promotion platforms. [Listen below]

With credits like Anthony Hamilton, Latoya London, Case and Jay Holiday under his belt, Arizona, US Up-and-coming R&B singer, songwriter, sound engineer and music producer, Marco Richh has worked just as hard behind the scenes in the recording studio as he has on stage.

Back in the summer of 2019 he released what was called his best record to date, “Party”.
