Ra-Sool - 'Stronger' ft. Naomi (Hip Hop)
Thursday, December 17, 2015
The indie rapper known as Ra-Sool has released his new single, “Stronger,” feat. Naomi. The track has been proudly published on the Treyead Entertainment independent music label without the influence of the corporate music industry. Founded on a booming bass line, a rock-solid back beat and featuring brilliant vocals by Naomi, “Stronger” from Ra-Sool is a wake-up call for America shouted from the soul of the hip-hop underground.

This feeling builds to a crescendo over several extremely deliberate and well-written verses, each of which exhorts the listener to consider the history of oppressed Americans and to consider, also, that these tribulations have made African-Americans and the civil rights movement ever so much stronger.

Commenting on his new single, “Stronger,” Ra-Sool writes:

“People feel the echoes of today’s problems which turn into tomorrow’s future. Many livelihoods have been taken for granted leaving holes in the hearts of many. With the recent decision of the Michael Brown grand jury to not indict, I decided to bridge the gap with a song dedicated to Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and families abroad facing the same struggle.”

It must not go unmentioned that the vocal work of featured singer Naomi on Ra-Sool’s new single is one of the track’s most prominent qualities. Exceptionally precise in terms of tone and bearing the natural grace that marks the world’s most gifted singers, Naomi brings a feminine power which pairs with Ra-Sool’s own measured aggression and makes the song a full and complete work of hip hop for the betterment of humanity.

Penny Well - 'Shots Delivered' (Rap)
Wednesday, December 16, 2015
Penny Well debuts on Jamsterdam with his hit track 'Shots Delivered'. Penny Well is an up and coming hip hop artist with a taste for success.

"I changed my pen name from $hots to Penny Well because i wanted to use something real. I wanted nothing to be made up, from my stage name to my lyrics. I want the world to know that it's best to be yourself at all times, in any setting. My biggest dream as a musician is to change what people look for in music. I want people to listen to lyrics more than simply bobbing to the beat. Meaningless lyrics can never be classic or timeless. I was born in the 80's, raised through some of the 80's and all of the 90's. Which allows me to deliver a style from that era of music. A style that is full of substance, has a distinctive delivery and metaphorical wordplay. Often melodic harmonys and singing are fused with the hip hop style to create soulhop." - Penny Well
