Buhg-Z-Fuego
Buhg-Z-Fuego is an up and coming hip-hop artist from North Carolina. He’s originally from Virginia, relocated to Wichita for awhile, and only recently wound up in the Winston-Salem area. Even more impressively, he only recently began recording his own compositions – but already seems to be on top of his game! When asked about his musical philosophy, he had this to say:
Music has always been a dream of mine, and it’s something I know I can do. It’s not just about what you create for yourself when it comes to music…it’s more about the audience…understanding what’s in, and how to give it to them the best way possible…I grew up in the 90s…and in hip hop right now…that’s the “it” factor..I was aware of this, as well as my skills, and simply told my wife…”I’m going to do that, I’m going to make music” …what they want…what’s in style…is simply what I’m into…so here I am!…but I’ve always felt confident enough to reach out with what I’ve come up with in a short period of time…factoring in my cheap equipment…and lack of studio knowledge..I hoped someone would be able to see what I see…
We are most impressed with his lyrical dexterity above all else. But in every way, he is an exciting, fresh new force on the scene, and we at Exquisite Noise are stoked to have released his first handful of singles…with many more brilliant tracks to come! Don’t just take our word for it, though, by all means listen for yourself:
Siles Hendrix
Born Glen Dale Coleman, Jr. in a small country town by the name of Belle Glade, FL, the artist known as Siles Hendrix (formerly Almighty Siles) describes himself as a “goofy, laid-back type of guy.” But make no mistake about it, music has always been his first love. He realized at an early age that music was his dream job. Honing his skills while attending job corps, he became a freestylist, and then, after returning to Florida at age 18, he dropped a mixtape single that became quite popular in the region. After taking a few years off during college, he is back on the scene, working with “a football team of artists” to help craft his latest r & b smashes.
Here is a nifty little piece about him The Daily Chronicle, too. It explains a little bit more about his life and musical history: https://thedailychronicle.in/news/293784/glendale-coleman-jr-november-18th-1985-better-known-by-his-stage-name-siles-hendrix-formerly-known-as-almighty-siles-is-an-american-musician-rapper-rb/
Bullhead*ded
This comedic rap trio from Colorado had this to say about their own unique sound, in a press release accompanying their Boiled Bones album: “Bullhead*ded, known as The Most Notorious Group In The Underground has been winning over hearts and heads for over a decade. Recognized as having one of the highest-energy shows around, their style and experience is probably most relatable to The Beastie Boys. For several years Bullhead*ded has been carving their place into hip-hop history, and are now looking to cement their place as one of the greatest groups of all time. They have cut their teeth all across the U.S. sharing stages with such legends as Mos Def AKA Yasin Bey, Public Enemy, KRS-One, Sage Francis, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony & Long Beach Dub All-Stars to name a few. Their story is one of Legend. A story of love, a story of lust. A story of failure, and triumph and more failure. This is a story of freedom, and the chains that bind. A story of who, but most importantly a story of why. This is a story of pain, and one of loss. But mostly, this is a story of LOVE.
Consisting of the mighty Che Bong, the masterful Nato Lucero and the brazen ZETfree. A bond of brotherhood has been forged between these three that has already endured the group far beyond the normal life span of a vast majority of hip-hop groups. The main meaning behind the name is an indicator of their unwillingness to quit. Their drive to continue in their passion no matter what. They are too stubborn and bullheaded to ever stop their journey. “Boiled Bones” Chapter 1 of the Brazen Series We present to you “Boiled Bones” the first part in a 3 part story known as Brazen series. We will be joining in with our audience on a fantastic journey. Think of it as a mystery adventure we invite you to take part in. In correlation to the three EPs (Boiled Bones, Heart Stones and Brazen) will be the release of comic books of the same names in succession. The comic books tell the story of “Our Young Hero”. The comics take place in a not too distant future where Technology and Religion are one, and government rules both with an iron fist. Freedom of speech and thought that are not in favor of the institution are all but outlawed. As “Boiled Bones” starts a pirate radio broadcast commences the exact way the Comics start… “Much Like anyone you may know… from a town like anywhere… Our young hero was given a life not much different than most.” A whole world awaits “our young hero”. An epic saga. And, as you come to learn by the end of the Brazen series. This is our young hero’s story, but it might as well be our own.”
In 2020, they contributed the captivating, high energy track Try Me Out See What You Think to our Fiction Avenue compilation. We expect even greater things from this trio over the years to come!
Young Vice
Though he has been in the game for 6 years (and under contract with us, in development, for 2 of those, truth be known), Young Vice has surprisingly enough just gotten around to bringing forth his debut disc. A hard hitting – lyrically, that is, for the beats trend more toward the sleek end of the spectrum – and modern sounding effort, it has just hit iTunes and Spotify but racked up hundreds of thousands of listens, generating a ton of buzz, on his SoundCloud page (https://soundcloud.com/youngviceofficial) beforehand.
Young Vice is set to open for Childish Gambino soon in select dates, which is a huge step forward for him (and in the name of full disclosure, we must admit it’s a pretty big deal for us, too). Fans of hiphop and the current pop or EDM scenes alike will find something to love about this release, give it a spin now on Spotify!
