The Lady Tigra was born in Harlem and raised in Hollis, Queens blocks away from Run DMC and LL Cool J, to a Haitian mother and a French father. Music was an integral part of her upbringing. She shares, "I grew up in a large, tight-knit, musical family who played lots of instruments and played lots of records all day. I loved to write and very early on hip-hop allowed me to tap into both of those loves. I'm pretty sure that I wrote my first rhyme at around 7 yrs old about Santa Clause delivering toilet paper to me when I found myself stuck on the bowl without any. I still love bathroom acoustics lol." She and her family relocated to Miami during the birth of Miami Bass where she became acquainted with Miami’s biggest DJs and rappers. By the age of fifteen, she was signed to Atlantic Records as one-half of the iconic rap group L’Trimm. Tigra toured with the biggest names in hip hop and was ranked in VH1’s Top 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs and Rolling Stones Magazine's Top 100 Hip Hop Songs of All Time. Her reemergence led to her appearance on the award-winning show Yo Gabba Gabba, interviews for several books, and appearances in hip-hop documentaries like 808 The Movie, The Boogaloo Shrimp, and Netflix’s Hip Hop Evolution.
SPNCR is the manifestation of a dreamer, birthed from years of a wide variety of musical experiences as an accomplished producer and artist in major groups like Jupiter Rising, Her Majesty, and The Wolves. It was in college where SPNCR truly found his calling as a musician. "I was singing, beatboxing, and playing sax at open mic nights at UCSD Porter's Pub," he shares. "Shortly after that, I started hanging out in LA playing music and fell in with the Black Eyed Peas camp and shortly after that I was signed with a band I started playing and producing in called Jupiter Rising." SPNCR’s career as a songwriter/producer, vocalist, saxophonist, and beat-boxer lead to performances at festivals like Coachella, T In The Park, and Wireless Festival and put him in rooms with legendary artists like K-pop group Girls’ Generation, The Black Eyed Peas, Chance The Rapper, and Mike D of The Beastie Boys.

Following the trend of digestible, algorithm-friendly song titles, Rora Wilde’s new diva diddy, “DLM” lends a new acronym to your letter littered psyche. While Rora’s vocals settle into their R&B stride, the faintest tint of her country roots peer through her raven hair. Her voice never strays too far, however, from the ratatat keeping course of the soul pop Rora has set her sights on.
Maybe I am just getting old, but I could not have guessed what DLM stands for by its letters alone. Luckily, the song is catchy enough to pop in your head the same way you’d think about that special someone sliding into your DLMs. (That’s a phrase, right?) Rora spells it out in the chorus, playfully pleading, “don’t let me let you go”. While taking the time to convince herself of what’s in front of her, she does not shy away from some TLC before going OUT for the night.
In the video, Rora is looking for some me-time in preparation for the we-time, promising herself, and whoever she’s on the phone with, that it will only take her 10 minutes to clean…and bubble bath and decide on an outfit. After a few moments luxuriating on promised time, she finishes her fit with an affirming pout in the mirror and an Ariana Grande flounce out the door.
On DLM, Rora starts to find her footing between what’s now and what’s her. She’s cleaning her already polished living space, hinting that obsessing is her favorite form of procrastination. The Jojo vibes of the song compliment the video's references to other aughts songresses. With the same hopeful tone of that era, DLM delivers a bright and glittery promise of what’s been and what’s to come for Rora Wilde. -Robyn Dee
Hunnypot is proud to be Rora Wilde's official sync representative, ask us about LICENSING her new single!

“Go Betty Go has never meant more than it does now and we're all sticking together more than ever to help her fight”
– Go Betty Go
Guitarist Betty Cisneros made her debut into the Los Angeles music scene in 2000 when she and her bandmates in Go Betty Go were all attending high school in Glendale, CA. The punk quartet swiftly ascended from local shows to a national reputation via reams of critical acclaim and non-stop gigging which included two lengthy Warped tours, frequent cross-country tours, and an attention getting invasion of South by Southwest. Indie label SideOneDummy quickly signed the band, they released their debut album Worst Enemy in 2004 and have been making waves ever since. Go Betty Go’s music is driven by Cisneros’ big, roaring guitar, singer Nicolette Vilar’s soulful, siren call, the momentous urgency of Michelle Rangel’s bass, and Aixa Vilar’s tumultuous drumming.
“This is tough news to have to share with everyone as it feels surreal. Betty has received the gut-wrenching news that she has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She has no other option but to fight like hell. Betty along with all of us in the band and everyone else who loves her, sees no other road, except the one to recovery. Those of you who know Betty, know she’s strong, resilient, and is determined to become cancer-free! If love alone could cure cancer, Betty would be all cured now,” shares the members of Go Betty Go.
On July 3 Los Angeles venue The Paramount will be hosting a special all-ages Benefit Show For Betty starting at 3:00 pm and featuring Go Betty Go with Two Tens guitarist Adam Bones filling in for Cisneros.

The Benefit Show For Betty will also be available via Livestream, keep an eye on https://www.instagram.com/
"To say Betty's part of our band family would be a huge understatement; we came up in the same scene in LA beginning almost 20 years ago. She’s “Tia Betty” to our kids and also one of the most badass guitarists and songwriters out there. We’re here to support her in any way we can, knowing she’s one of the strongest women we know and will show cancer who’s boss"
—The Dollyrots
A Go Fund Me has also been set up to help Betty through her fight: https://www.gofundme.

Sham Blak is street wisdom and love expressed through modern boom bap. Sham Blak is hitting his stride and is most definitely in his bag; like Mary Poppins, there’s something for everyone in said bag - the “old heads” will love the purity and connection to hip hop’s roots, those who enjoy trap music will connect with Sham Blak’s ability to uniquely tell tales of redeemed hood life, and the vibe-centric turn-up kids will connect with his infectious energy. Sham Blak is a bridge - he is able to stay rooted in the community that created and shaped him (Southeast San Diego) while branching out to connect with people across the spectrum of life circumstance and experience. Sham Blak’s “lit and intentional” vibe ensures that listeners will turn up while simultaneously being challenged to think, whether his effervescence is being communicated through headphones, the system in your whip, or from any number of stages he’s performed on. Opening for artist like G Perico, Neff the Pharos, AFRO, Big Twin and Psycholess of the Beatnuts, Slum Village and Kool Keith
The music is the vehicle, but Sham Blak’s vision can’t be contained in one medium; his Waves in the Tide imprint seeks to take the energy and acclaim garnered through his music as a means to introduce and offer “at risk” youth a relationship to the vast mysteries of the ocean and to marine life in hopes of teaching young people how to heal themselves through a connection with nature. The ocean provides a meditative context in which young people from otherwise restless backgrounds are able to be still and reflect - two important ingredients to heal trauma. Sham Blak’s entrepreneurial spirit and community focus places him in the conversation with artists like Nipsey Hussle, Westside Boogie, Young Dolph and more. With the intelligence developed through surviving and thriving in South East San Diego and the discipline earned from his time in the Army, Sham Blak’s progress is both grounded and accelerated - join the movement, you don’t want to miss it!
Sham Blak is an artist first, and his mastery of the craft of emceeing is evident in his content, cadences, and delivery. Sham Blak’s music will move you and his stage presence will make you a life-long fan, whether your taste focuses on bars, production, vibe or message. Sham Blak has an industry-ready sound and style with the hustle and heart of independent hip hop; tune-in, it’s about to get SPOOKY!
I went from memorizing all the songs on every karaoke game on the playstation 2 when I was little, to releasing multiple singles and an EP series H.I.M Vol. 1. I write my own lyrics to every single song I release, sometimes being in my zone and writing a song in less than 30 minutes.
I love doing different genres and love working with artists who have a passion for the art of music like myself. I am a mother of 2 wild ones and a business student. To get the full scope of who Karima Jay is I highly encourage everyone to listen to my lyrics. I get really personal and expose a lot about myself through my songs.

"Not bound to any one style, this world is to big for one perspective" - CamPac
CamPac believes this to be true, with a sound not aligned with traditional Hip/Hop, Cam's mixture of hard hitting 808's and relaxing synthesizers create a truly unique experience . As producer and songwriter, Cam's skillset and love for various genres give us a different perspective on how we reflect on our world.
Viagra Boy's new brilliant single/video takes me back to my years living and growing up shootin' and dancin' in Wyoming. Trail Town style.

Hot Tub Johnnie threw an epic Hunnypot Memorial Day gathering. Steller interviews and live performances by Gussie Miller, Eva and the Vagabond Tales, RYN, and Rora Wilde. Full show Audio and Photos at the links above.
Gussie Miller has always been musically gifted. From a young age, he was singing, performing, and playing a variety of instruments. Throughout the course of his musical career, Gussie Miller has won over the hearts of music lovers from all walks of life.
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Miller is a graduate of the Fort Hayes School Of The Performing Arts, Miller went on to sing on CD's by Cher, Lavern Baker and several TV shows. During the 90's Miller's songs was licensed for use in such network shows as "Family Matters" "Doogie Howser M.D." the short lived Glenn Fry TV show "South Of Sunset".
While working with Marcus Miller, Gussie was asked to sing on the score for the TV show "Everybody Hates Chris" by Miller, and later in 2007 was also featured in a solo vocal spot in the Chris Rock movie "I Think I Love My Wife" performing the Marcus Miller composition "Could Be The One" which caused a stir online as people searched for the new song, that was in fact, only a short music cue.
From the alleyways of old town Riverside, CA come the sounds of old world folk-pop that broke free from the early ages of music and skipped through time to find its way into our modern world. Throughout the journey, stories were turned into songs, forming Eva and the Vagabond Tales.
The Vagabond Tales is a multi-instrumental music project centered around the songwriting of Russian born Eva Mikhailovna. The songs combine western, old folk, and ragtime into a musical melting pot, creating an alluring sound that transcends time and continents.
“The Vagabonds” (as Eva refers to her musicians) accompanying her live are long time members Jake Pflum (percussion), Alan Arteaga (banjo, electric guitar, ukulele), and Jasmine Capitulo (accordion). As the music continues to extend its fan base across the United States and with the release of Uncharted Ocean this spring, the band will continue touring, and performing around the west coast with plans to head east in the summer and fall. They are currently doing a residency at Disney in Anaheim, CA where they can be caught playing their songs as well as some special takes on some Disney classics.
Rising pop artist, ryn is taking the industry by storm. With a wildly outspoken style and attitude, nothing can hold her back. ryn has shown her star quality from the young age of 3. Constantly dancing and working the stage, ryn knew that she belonged in the spotlight. She discovered her passion for songwriting at age 16. 200 songs later, ryn has a newfound talent on the piano and a mastery in lyricism.
ryn sings for all the people who stand up and fight back. Being such an expressive and loud child, ryn was always told to keep quiet. ryn's purpose in the industry is to spread the message of never letting other people tell you who you are or what you should be. She wants to be the voice for the people who have been told to stay in their lane to conform to the norm. At one point in her life, even ryn fell victim to these outside voices telling her how she should act. After years of being the inauthentic version of herself, ryn found freedom in her songwriting, singing, and performing. Pulling inspiration from industry icons like Adele, Dua Lipa, and Cher, ryn creates music to express her mind and let her truest self shine through.

Hailing from California, Filipino-American artist Lisa Danaë has long been a powerhouse vocalist in the music industry. Lisa’s journey began as a young girl when she found solace in pop industry powerhouses Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. As she grew as an artist, Lisa’s goal became to spread her story of growth and empowerment through the same powerful pop hooks and unfeigned, timeless lyrics that she grew up listening to. Her ability to pay tribute to the late 90’s/Y2K pop movement while still honoring her musical tenor in R&B birthed her transition and curation of “dark pop” where she takes deep sound to balance and challenge the uplifting lyricism and vocal tenor to create and addictive genre blend.

DAGNASTERPUS is a jammin’ groove powerhouse that fell out of the mind of road warrior/composer, Tree Adams, former frontman of the New York City jam band, THE HATTERS. Tree is known for his award-winning work scoring film and tv projects such as The 100, Californication, Belushi, Legends, and NCIS: New Orleans, as well as producing songs for Grammy Award-winning artists like New Orleans legend, Cyril Neville, blues musician Taj Mahal and rapper YG.
DAGNASTERPUS features nimble horns, grimy beats and gritty vocals. Tree’s lyrics are imaginative and evocative with a hint of voodoo imagery welcoming listeners into an immersive and, at times, cinematic world of merriment and mirth. The DAGNASTERPUS is a benevolent mythical creature: part Poseidon, part Octopus and part Buddha. The band's self-titled debut album DAGNASTERPUS was released by Six Degrees Records on June 25, 2021.
DAGNASTERPUS is based primarily in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Recap/Photos: J. Gray
Long time Hot Tubber Larken Phillips aka L-Boogie will celebrate his birthday with a special Live performance.
Ancient Sumerian texts tell of a man with boogie so pimpaliciously slick, that the world could not withstand the weight of his almighty funkification. He was born in a maelstrom of smoke and fire, schooled by the legends of Shaolin, and set upon this world to seek that mighty groove, tweak it till it’s smooth, straight up freak and bust a move.
This legend of boogie was deemed too powerful by the elder gods of groove, and so it was decided to seal his spirit away. For thousands of years the spirit of this titan of twerk lay dormant only to be awoken for a single night each year, for if his boogie lasted any longer the cosmos could be torn apart by his vociferous vibrations.
Lo and behold: the great L-Boogie hath arisen from his slumber! Payeth him tribute with dope-ass dance moves & belligerent bong rips, lest ye soul be cast into darkness until he riseth once more.
Johnathan Ruiz, better known as Doc Samson, is an American rapper, multi- instrumentalist, and record producer from Bakersfield, California.
Samson’s music is primarily rooted in alternative rap and hip-hop with albums like Prelude: The Tale of Doc Samson (2015), Son of Sam (2018), Samuel L. (2019) and DEATHDOG (2019).
Doc’s style of production has progressed immensely from dark and grimy to more of an inspirational based genre originating from sounds of the past. His new record, DEATHDOG II, via Blossöm Records marvelously showcases his take on the many memorable eras before him. “Heads will roll” he says.
Comprised of Alexx Calise, an introspective lyricist and “harmony machine”, and Morehouse, a masterful arranger and sound manipulator, Batfarm is a two-piece alternative rock band whose sound can be best described as “darkedelic”. The multi-instrumentalists keep it small not only for efficiency’s sake, but also to keep creating the music they want without added personalities. Combining Alexx’s grunge and blues influences with rich, choral soundscapes and Dennis’s love of industrial, funk, and psychedelic music, Batfarm creates a sound that is like everything and nothing at once.
While the music itself is serious, they don’t take themselves too seriously, and it is their hope that the darkness of some of their own personal experiences will help others to find their own light.
Tampa's Glove are special. They very much look and feel as if they come from another time, but maybe it's because they're from the future? Their style is reminiscent of bands such as Joy Division or Echo & The Bunnymen. Stylish and cool "Behaviour" comes off of Glove's brilliant debut album Boom Nights. This Live performance piece will have to hold us until an official video is released, catch them on tour.

Photos & recap - Jeffrey Gray
We are special/sexy/sleazy, we live in Los Angeles, and we make loud, aggressive, feedback-drenched indie rock. Influenced by the heartfelt shrieks and squeals of bands like Modest Mouse and Pavement, the energetic guitar-powered pop of bands like Everclear and Third Eye Blind, the dense compositions and non-stop energy of bands like Bomb the Music Industry and Prince Daddy, and the guitar wizardry and showmanship of classic rock and hair metal, special/sexy/sleazy blend joy with sadness, introspection with exuberance, and invite you to have as much fun as you can stomach.
Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jake Medeiros, special/sexy/sleazy also includes Brie Goldsobel (vocals/keys), Brandon Ferguson (guitar/keys), Summer Wetmore (bass), Katie Wong (keys), and Joey D’Alfonso (drums). We just finished our debut self-titled record, special/sexy/sleazy. The record was produced by Ryan Pollie (Los Angeles Police Department, Ryan Pollie, Teddy Grossman), mixed by Chris Baglivo (Spirit of the Beehive, Mannequin Pussy, Hop Along), and mastered by Mark Chalecki (Tokyo Police Club, Islands, Joyce Manor). The album has not been released yet, but will be soon

Inspired by nostalgia and romance, ibeshocker delivers music that will transfix and transport listeners to different time periods in their lives, allowing them to reflect on their past, present, and future relationships.
