During the kick-off party for the One Music Fest in Atlanta, I heard some good music coming out the speakers. I walked to back and saw an artist rocking the crowd with some great energy and dope music. That artist was Childish Major. During his set he combined his own fresh energetic music, while blending in throwback music from groups like Outkast. The Atlanta artist is also an establish producer who has created beats for Rick Ross, Future and Wiz Khalifa. I caught up with him after the show and asked him about his influences and his current album Woo$ah.
Black Truth News: I like the show, what can the people hear more of you at.
Childish Major: You can check me out everywhere, on all the platforms. I got a new project coming out call Duro Diamond, but I have a project out now called Woo$ah.
BTN: What I liked about your set is you paid homage to the people before you but it was also current. How important is that for you to keep the tradition of good music going?
CM: It’s everything, but it’s not really about paying homage. It’s about feeding off the crowd and involving everything that’s good into one. It’s just a vibe
BTN: When can we expect the new music?
CM: It’s coming soon and go check out that Woo$ah.

Last month Warner Brothers recording artist Scotty Music had a exclusive silent party listening session in order to preview some of his new music. The Joliet, Illinois native is a singer, songwriter, producer and rapper. I was curious about the protocol, vibe and experience of going to a silent party. I been invited to a couple but never went to one before. My first encounter came with my attendance of Scotty Music silent party listening session in downtown Chicago. Although it was a listening session and not a party per se; I got the gist of how the silent things operate. I got my headphones and was impressed with what I was hearing. Continue reading
