    New rap artist Spendit blends a whimsical beat and street lyrics in new single “Hold Up” By Kurt Beyers To begin his career as a recording artist, Buffalo, New York, rapper Spendit has put out “Hold Up,” a chiming, melodious single with some hard-edged, explicit street lyrics. “That track, I feel like, it describes my life,” he said. “I’m always trying to get to some money, and it’s an ever-changing world. I’m always trying to adapt.” “Hold Up” is the lead single off his EP Check. Another single off the EP, “Grace,” has also been released. He said that when he got the beat from his brother, Akaey, he only had an hour to work with it, and his first thought was, “I cannot attack this in an hour, and all I could think of was life is moving too fast. Can you hold up?” And with that, he realized, “Hold up. Wow, that’s really me.” And it turned out to be one of the easiest songs he ever wrote. Life movin’ too fast, can’t wait up, can’t hold up Spend it, what’s the hold up, bands can’t fold up Dropped out of college, she givin’ me brain, she givin’ me knowledge Brand new coupe, no mileage, always flee, don’t need a stylist He’s been writing for a few years but until this year he hadn’t made up his mind whether to pursue it as a career. “I was never into music growing up. I was kind of getting into it in middle school, but I was more of an athlete. That’s what our family was known for.” Akaey, though, was into music. “He was the only person in the family doing it. At night he would play his beats, and I was in my room but because he was so close I could hear him. He would be up to 3 in the morning.” Eventually, he said, “This was clicking. I could listen to songs, and it was, ‘Oh, he’s off beat. This one’s not off beat.’ I was observing even when I wasn’t trying to.” Spendit works out his beats with Akaey and producer Losart, a childhood friend of Akaey’s. They find the beats for Spendit, and together the three of them work out the tracks. “Whenever I’m done with a song and I need another one, they will send me a care package — that’s what we call them — and it’s like 100-some beats in there.” Spendit wound up making three songs with the beat that became “Hold Up.” “I kept hearing it differently every time I listened to it. It is definitely a unique beat, for sure. The other two I’ll probably break down and add them to different songs, because they’re quality as well. But this one, ‘Hold Up,’ this one got it.” He wrote the EP a year ago, but even then he hadn’t made up his mind about music. “I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to take it serious. My brother had been doing this for a while, and he knows the only way that you can make it in this industry is if you’re going to invest in yourself, invest in the time. And so I had to come to the realization of, ‘Is this really what I want to do?’ After months of thinking about it, I told him let’s go ahead and do it.” This year, he has released Check and the two singles from it. Each of the six tracks is something new, a different sound, a different flow, a different feel. Spendit seeks new things. “I’m open to like working with different styles, and not just rappers but singers because that’s how you get better, by doing things that you don’t think or don’t know if you can do. I want to be a person that’s like, ‘Hey, we’re making this song, and it’s not something that you’re used to.’ I want to be as versatile as possible.” His plans are to put out another EP, with more videos. His YouTube channel has videos for “Hold Up” and “Grace,” but he wants more. This winter, he will begin performing live in the Buffalo-Syracuse-Rochester region. He is glad that he got a late start to his career because he believes it increased his creativity. “As soon as I get in the studio, man, it’s like everything just comes. I don’t plan on slowing down no time soon.” Spend some time with Spendit and connect with him on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

    Jett Jenkins dances with “Daredevil” in an exploration of indie-pop covers With her newest release — a cover of Fiona Apple’s “Daredevil” — indie pop artist Jett Jenkins departs from the “dreamy, colorful production” of her last few releases and shows all the assertiveness and force of Fiona Apple’s original. “Fiona Apple’s my favorite artist, and the album that ‘Daredevil’ is off of is the first one that really got me hooked into her music,” said Jett. Jett’s “Daredevil” drops on November 17. “That song really showed me how she can use emotion in her singing, and the bridge of that song was just so special to me — I loved it so much that I wanted to sing it myself.” Jett’s voice has softer edges than Fiona’s, yet when she launches into that bridge she is every bit as commanding — “Seek. Me. Out. — every word an order to be obeyed. Seek me out Look at, look at, look at, look at me I'm all the fishes in the sea Wake me up Give me, give me, give me what you got In your mind, in the middle of the night “It’s a song that I love so much I wish I wrote it, so, the best thing I could do was sing it. It’s kind of a declaration of love to Fiona Apple, but it’s my own version, and it’s how I hear the song and how it — my interpretation of it musically — how it makes me feel.” Her version has the same musical structure, the same emphatic beat and rhythm, but the instrumentation gives it a more whimsical vibe as it builds toward that powerful bridge where the woman singing demands the attention of her lover. And the listener. “I wanted to keep it similar because I love the song so much, but I also wanted to make it a little bit more modern, make it more my style, so, it has a bit of flair.” The EP that “Daredevil” precedes, Break Cover, Volume 1, will be, as the name suggests, an EP of cover songs. Her live shows include cover songs, and she gets good feedback on them. “I wanted to choose some of my favorite artists and songs and put them out. A lot of my favorite artists, like Phoebe Bridgers and Fiona Apple, have released cover songs, but I thought it would be really interesting to do a whole EP of them.” The planned release for the EP is December 2. In its tone and assertiveness, her “Daredevil” is much more like her first song, “City in Anger,” released in 2021, than the reflective, meditative indie-pop music she has released since. “I think I tend to go toward meditative stuff because I consider myself more of a poet,” she said, Jett, a Texas writing major attending college in Brooklyn, New York, says she is willing to go wherever her music will take her. “I’ll always put out music even if it doesn’t get super big or even just big at all, because I am such a diehard fan of all music. I’d love if it could take me to a bigger place where I could meet people and share my music. My music is very personal and has helped me through a lot of hard times. I hope that my music can help other people.” She is moving back toward the edginess of “City of Anger,” which was the first song she ever wrote and is still one of her favorites. “To me, it was like the perfect first song because I Ioved the rock element, but it also felt a lot like meditations on grief. It was just a plethora of things that I loved about music.” Her next album after Break Cover will be more in that direction and “more into indie-punk rock, and a little bit like new wave.” “I’m definitely trying to write more aggressive stuff. Most of my favorite songs are very anger filled songs, and I’m kind of going towards that.” Go with Jett Jenkins on her musical journey and stay connected on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

    Honey Made lays down driving funk, soul and hip-hop in new EP titled Charge It To The Band Fund By Bobby Martin It has been a long road with many twists and turns, but Austin based funk group Honey Made has released their newest EP called Charge It To The Band Fund, which has an eclectic mix of soul, funk, a little hip hop and plenty of horns. The newest single, “Ashy Pockets (My Mode)” is a remix of an original track that was very much focused on the “green culture,” McDaniel explained. Producer John Ryan liked the chorus and hook of “Ashy Pockets” and wanted to rework the arrangement and lyrics for radio that is now being released on the new EP. “The sentiment is still there but the focus is now on why this person maybe wants to smoke,” Trombonist Donald McDaniel said. “Like, what is he trying to get away from or self-medicate with. The theme of that song is that ‘I’m in a dead end job. I can’t wait to get off work and get in my mode.’” Honey Made is a nine piece funk band consisting of: Willie Barnes, Vocals; Donald Ford Jr., vocals; Brian Cokeley, Keys; Lee Braverman, Bass; Chris Barnes, Drums & Vocals; Mark Saldana, Percussion; Dustin Hunter, Tenor Saxophone & Baritone Saxophone; Joseph Marrow, Trumpet & Flugelhorn; and Donald McDaniel, Trombone. Honey Made as a group came onto the Austin music scene in 2018, but their story goes back to 2014 when members of the band went by Mama K and the Shades. Mama K and the Shades was founded by saxophonist David McKnight and singer Kelsey Garcia. While they had a great run, in 2015 tragedy struck after a show they were playing in San Marcus just south of Austin. The venue they were playing at had a beach theme, and after the gig, members of the band decided to swim in the San Marcus river. McKnight went in the water and never came back up. The band gathered afterward and decided that David would have wanted them to keep performing following his death. “We had a lot of original music with that band, and we did release a record after his death,” said McDaniel. “The actual name of that record was Honey Made.” McDaniel said bands can be kind of like marriages, and as they were coming upon the fall of 2017 they were in the studio. They hired Steve Berlin of Los Lobos fame to produce the album Brand New, and McDaniel said it is very high quality, although there were some intense moments of criticism that McDaniel said made the product better. However, in the middle of the session Garcia quit the band, leaving the rest of the nine-piece funk group wondering what to do. They had to go back, take out her vocals and re-track everything they had done to that point. The band finished the record, but they knew they could no longer be Mama K and the Shades. McDaniel said that when the music was really good, McKnight used to say, “well that’s just honey made.” In a way of honoring their founder and continuing the funk, they decided that would be the choice. “We said why don’t we just be Honey Made?” McDaniel recalled. “Well, that makes perfect sense. It’s a tribute to David and kind of our identity. We wouldn’t be a band without David.” The name change made things tough, as they had established themselves with their former moniker and they were struggling to get gigs and they had debts to pay off from the making of Brand New. Fast forward to 2019 and McDaniel came up with a plan to re-establish their identity and release music under the new name. He was at the South By Southwest Festival and the Austin Music Foundation was putting on educational sessions, and one free session was to meet talent buyers. They managed to get booked for a show at Stubbs, in the indoor venue in June 2019 which ended up being the launch of the band Honey Made. The wild journey continued, and just as they were getting started the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to all momentum. They wrote music and rehearsed as much as they could and put out “stay at home sessions.” “The music that is on the new EP was written largely while we were isolated,” McDaniel said. “We kept creating even though we couldn’t get out.” The EP is set for release in November 17 and will be available on all major platforms. It features seven very different tracks with a wide range of emotions emitting from the tunes. It has all the elements a funk album should have, whether it is the fun loving “Get On Up” and “Vibin”, the soulful R&B sound of “Upstairs and “Love It”, the relatable aspect of being fed up in songs like “Ashy Pockets (My Mode)” and “FYC” , or a song of gratitude like “DFA”-standing for D-Bone Funk Amazing named after McDaniel, who plays trombone, and what he’s done for the band. “When you listen to this EP, you’ll see that we just refuse to be defined by a single genre,” McDaniel said. “We don’t just play the heck out of a single sound. That’s not us. In this record there’s a little more hip hop influence...
