J. Sipp Brings The Mississippi Grit With Debut Album ‘A Gift From Me To You’

ALBUM

Mississippi’s own J. Sipp is officially in album mode. The Meridian artist, engineer, and producer just released his debut album, A Gift From Me To You, hosted by Gutta TV, giving listeners a full look at his sound, his story, and the versatility he’s built over the past few years.

For J. Sipp, this project has been a long time coming. He grew up surrounded by music, listening to different styles depending on which side of the family he was with. Those early influences eventually shaped his ear for production and helped him transition from an artist discovering his talent to one confidently building a brand.

The debut album blends solid lyrics, Southern grit, and polished engineering—reflecting his skill both behind the mic and behind the boards. The project features collaborations with Kia Shine, Boy Fresh, Wacotron, J Money, and engineering credits tied to Hustle Life and Bone The Mac, giving the album a mix of hometown pride and industry credibility.

J. Sipp’s journey hasn’t been easy. He’s faced trauma from the military, everyday life, and time in the streets—experiences that pushed him toward therapy, self-work, and using music as a way forward. That honesty shows up throughout the album, adding weight to the bars without forcing the narrative.

His resume is stacking quickly, too. He’s been featured on The Source, Making It Magazine, Urban Grind TV, The Progress Report, and even secured a sync placement in the film “Push to Shove.”

With his debut album now out, J. Sipp is focused on building momentum, expanding his fanbase, and pushing his brand to the next level.

Redd Fidel Turns Up the “Frequency”

MUSIC

Miami-bred artist Redd Fidel is not just making music—he’s shaping a lane that hip-hop didn’t realize it needed. With a 15-year run rooted in authenticity, discipline, and lived experience, Redd stands as a “new veteran,” a rare voice who brings the weight of wisdom without sacrificing lyrical sharpness or cultural relevance.

Redd’s connection to music began at ten, sparked by parents who played everything from soul to gritty street rap. By fifteen, he recognized his gift—and within the same year began pursuing his craft with intention. His influences read like a Mount Rushmore of lyricism and truth-telling: Nas, Scarface, Jadakiss, Fab, and Rick Ross. Yet, when it comes to his own style, Redd refuses comparison. “None,” he insists—because his mission is individuality.

His journey hasn’t been smooth. Trauma, hardship, and near-death moments shaped the depth of his writing, offering the transparency he now views as his artistic duty. That honesty has already earned him respect across the industry and media outlets like The Juice, Cypher Mag, Rap Pages, and Rolling Out, all of which have labeled him one of the most prolific emerging pens of his generation.

With his latest single “Frequency” making industry waves, Redd aims to expand the reach of his message-driven music—introducing a new demographic to Adult Contemporary Hip-Hop, a lane he envisions himself eventually leading.

Redd Fidel’s legacy goal is clear: create music that frees hearts and minds, and be remembered as one of the greats.

VetbredNikko’s “My Testimony”: Turning Pain, Purpose, and Healing Into a Powerful New Beginning

MUSIC

VetbredNikko is stepping into a powerful new chapter of his musical journey, one defined by purpose, honesty, and healing. Growing up in Jamaica and now based in Orlando, VetbredNikko brings a global perspective shaped by life experience, military service, and personal transformation. More than just an artist, he is a storyteller committed to addressing resilience, PTSD, and mental health—anchored in the belief that while we may all be broken, we are still fixable. As the founder of Vetbred Records, his mission-driven artistry stands as both a personal testimony and a beacon for others navigating their own battles.

His current single, “My Testimony,” is the purest reflection of that mission. Born from lived experiences including combat, PTSD, rebuilding his identity, and rediscovering purpose, the song pulls no punches emotionally. Awarded three Bronze Stars—one for Valor—VetbredNikko channels the weight of those experiences into a record that speaks for those who often suffer in silence. Rather than focusing on a single standout line, the artist emphasizes the overall emotion and release the song carries, describing it as letting go of something heavy and hoping listeners feel understood, comforted, and less alone.

Beyond the music, VetbredNikko is building an ecosystem of impact through VetBred.com, where his music, clothing, and storytelling merge to support mental health and PTSD awareness. He has also launched meaningful sub-brands like Broken Angels Club and Lil Legends, aimed at reaching different communities while promoting rebuilding, family, and emotional strength. “My Testimony” isn’t just a song—it’s a foundation for everything he’s creating. As VetbredNikko fully steps into this new era, his work stands as living proof that healing is possible, and that even our deepest scars can be transformed into purpose.

Meet X-TEIR: The Artist Fate Couldn’t Deny

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT

Chicago has never been short on storytellers, but every so often, an artist emerges whose presence feels less like an introduction and more like destiny. Enter X-TEIR, a rising force whose music is shaped by survival, sharp intellect, and an unshakeable belief that he is “the one fate could not deny.”

Raised across multiple homes while his mother battled illness, X-TEIR’s childhood was marked by instability, foster care, and abuse that forced him to grow up faster than most. By six years old, he already recognized he had something special. His first major spark came when he heard Twista’s rapid-fire verse on “Worldwide Choppers” — a moment that cracked open the world of rhythm, speed, and lyricism he’d soon make his own.

Three years into taking his career seriously, X-TEIR stands firm in his voice and versatility. He refuses to emulate anyone, insisting on crafting music that speaks to every mood, every truth, every listener. His growing catalog includes collaborations with emerging names like luhwixked, K5ive, Queen T5, and Jay5ive, each track further refining his signature blend of emotional depth and slick, shape-shifting flow.

Though new to media coverage, the streets and studios have already stamped him with respect. Producers and artists repeatedly tell him the same thing: “You’re good.” And he knows it — but he’s focused on more than praise.

X-TEIR wants impact. Longevity. A legacy that proves he turned pain into power and voice into victory. With his hunger, authenticity, and Chicago grit, he’s well on his way.

DXRCI Makes a Powerful Return With “Menace,” Owning Her Confidence and Creative Identity

MUSIC
Singer/Songwriter DXRCI, raised in College Park, Georgia, is stepping fully into her power with her striking new single “Menace.” After years away from releasing music under her own name, the record marks her long-awaited return to the spotlight. While DXRCI has been professionally active again since 2020, much of her journey unfolded behind the scenes—writing for major and other independent artists. With “Menace,” she boldly transitions from background contributor to lead voice, reclaiming her place as an artist in her own right.

The inspiration behind “Menace” is deeply personal and rooted in resilience. After facing years of obstacles, self-doubt, and fear that pushed her into believing she belonged behind the scenes as a songwriter, DXRCI finally found the confidence to step forward. “Menace” represents her decision to stop shrinking herself and instead show up unapologetically—being a menace by going so hard in her purpose that her presence demands attention. Her favorite line, “Who’s that girl that’s out air bending rules,” perfectly captures the freedom and authority she now holds over her artistry.

What truly sets “Menace” apart is its symbolism. The song is DXRCI’s first official release in seven years, marking a clear evolution from her teenage beginnings to the fully realized artist she is today. With sharpened vision, creative independence, and lived experience guiding her sound, DXRCI is entering a bold new era. Fans can witness that growth live when she takes the stage in Spring of 2026 as she continues to build momentum and claim her space as a dynamic artist to watch.

True to his artistic identity, The Vision of Ra1den Vision is about emotion, movement, and authenticity, inviting listeners back to music that makes you feel something from the first note to the last groove.

Lyrically, the track radiates freedom and connection, highlighted in Ra1den’s favorite line: “Everywhere you go I just want, me and you right here. The dance floor is right up there. I just want you grooving up with no fear.” Beyond his solo artistry, Ra1den Vision’s alter ego Monteasy boasts over 300 placements across wrestling, NHL, and the BIG3, further cementing his impact across multiple entertainment spaces. With a new feature alongside AEW wrestler Swerve Strickland and Raekwon, momentum continues to build.

Romee Rombe Stands Out With “White Peacock,” A Bold Anthem of Leadership and Individuality

MUSIC

Fort Lauderdale artist Romee Rombe is making a powerful statement with his latest single, “White Peacock,” releasing on October 22, 2025 under Its Gorgeous Musique. Known for his fearless confidence and competitive edge, Romee Rombe uses this track to challenge conformity and elevate individuality. Produced by Solomon Reilly and Archie Patmore and engineered by Jerome R. Baubien, “White Peacock” blends bold energy with polished sound, delivering a record that demands attention both sonically and lyrically.

The motivation behind “White Peacock” is rooted in leadership and self-belief. Romee Rombe wrote the song as a reminder to be different, to refuse blending in, and to confidently stand apart from the crowd. He describes the record as a mirror of who he is—a rare individual, one of a kind, and unapologetically himself. That message is echoed in his standout line, “WHITE PEACOCK WHEN THEY SEE ME OOOOOOUUUUTTTT,” which captures the essence of being seen, recognized, and respected for uniqueness rather than sameness.

What truly separates Romee Rombe from his peers is his proven competitive spirit. By his own track record, when placed head-to-head with other artists, he consistently comes out on top, an accolade backed by real-world results, not empty talk. With buzz already building and strong placement potential, “White Peacock” is a song to watch, with possibilities of landing in film or television. As Romee Rombe continues to rise, this release cements his position as an artist who doesn’t follow trends—he creates his own.

Exclusive interview with music producer, T.J. Tha Producer

INTERVIEWS

For readers just discovering your work, how would you introduce yourself and your sound as T.J. Tha Producer?
I’m a emerging music producer from the south side of Chicago with a eclectic or very open style of producing drawing from many genres.

You’ve been involved with music since the age of 10. What sparked that early passion, and how has your relationship with music evolved over the years?
I started in the church choir singing, but my mom listened to many music artist as I was growing up. When I got into high school and was in the band I started appreciating the instrumentals and different instruments. In college I really started learning how to compose which to me is the foundation of producing.

Growing up and still living in Chicago, how has the city’s music culture influenced your production style and creative approach?
I feel it influenced me greatly because I’ve heard blues and jazz bands, as well as R&B, rap, juke and a little rock.

What does your creative process look like when you’re building a track from scratch? Mood first, melody first, or something else entirely?
My creative style is me listening to different instruments sounds, melodies, drum beats as well as creating a sound myself. It may take me a few days to finish a beat to a month. But there were times I’ve done it in a few hours.

One of your biggest accomplishments is getting your music—and the artists you work with—heard worldwide. What does that milestone mean to you personally?
It TRULY MEANS A LOT, that means that I have a true starting point. It also lets me know how people truly feel about my music and what to work on, because I don’t want to make good music, I want to make EXTRAORDINARY MUSIC.

As a producer, how do you approach collaboration with artists to make sure their vision and your sound align?
I like to get with the artist and discuss the meaning of the song a they write to it. I some times write down my thoughts and let them arrange the lyrics. Im a stickler for PRACTICING THE SONG BEFORE WE RECORD IT. To me the recording studio is NOT for practicing the song but for recording and mixing.

Who are some producers or artists, past or present, that have influenced your journey in music?
My biggest influence is N.W.A, which I was a huge Dr. Dre and Easy E. fan. DJ Quik, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Timbaland and DJ Khaled. Currently Im a huge Glorilla fan, as well as Bone Thugs, Twista, Da Brat, Cardi B, Megan The Stallion, Sabrina Carpenter. Trust me there are way to many both male and female to name.. 😂😂

You’ve expressed interest in producing for both well-known artists and up-and-coming talent. What excites you most about working with emerging artists?
Me having a hand in cultivating them as an artist as well as their style.

You mentioned having a few songs currently in the works. What can listeners expect from these upcoming releases in terms of sound or direction?
I want them to hear something completely different as well as something everyone can relate to.

Looking ahead, what goals are you most focused on right now, and where do you see T.J. Tha Producer in the next few years?
I’m truly looking forward to working with different artists weather they’re emerging or the top tier well established artist. Im looking to eventually hear my songs on rotation on the mainstream radio station as well as being a platinum artist along with the artist I worked with.
