Arkansas native Big Rome continues to carve his name into the culture with his new single, “Who I Am.” Growing up in Camden, Arkansas and now based in Springdale, Big Rome brings over 15 years of experience to the mic—delivering the kind of storytelling only a seasoned artist can provide. Released under his label, Big Rome Entertainment LLC, and produced by ILL MUZIK, this single dives deep into his personal autobiography, reflecting the pain, struggle, and resilience that shaped him.

Big Rome is no stranger to major accomplishments. One of his biggest wins came when “Who I Am” was featured in the Showtime original series House of Lies (Season 4, Episode 8, “He Didn’t Mean That Natalie Portman”). This placement amplified his voice on a national level and spotlighted his ability to create music that resonates across audiences. His most recent project “Mentally Disturbed/Scarred 4 Life“ continue that same raw, honest storytelling, painting a vivid picture of a life forged through adversity.

What makes “Who I Am” especially powerful is its authenticity. The song serves as a journal entry from Big Rome’s life, sharing the hardships he faced growing up and the hustle that pushed him forward. Every bar reflects truth, but his favorite line, “Every rapper ain’t no hood star, let’s get that understood,” stands as a bold statement that separates real life from industry gimmicks. With this release, Big Rome cements his reputation as an artist who not only raps—but inspires.

Miami-bred artist OHGEE, now based in Tampa, is turning his pain into power with his latest single, “Long Way.” Signed under STB ENT, OHGEE has been making noise in the game since stepping into the professional music scene in 2023. Within a short span, he’s earned over 250,000 Spotify streams, gained label-backed distribution, and established himself as one of the most authentic new voices coming out of Florida’s underground. His music reflects the grit of street life, the heartbreak of betrayal, and the determination to rise above it all.

The single “Long Way” was born out of OHGEE’s real-life experiences, the highs and lows that shaped him, and the people who turned their backs when he was at his lowest. The track paints a vivid picture of loyalty, loss, and perseverance, with OHGEE laying bare his truth over a raw, street-influenced beat. As he puts it, this record is not just music—it’s a reflection of his journey and everything he’s overcome. His favorite line, “Residue stuck all on my digi,” captures that hustler’s essence, bringing listeners into the world he came from while showing how far he’s come.

With an upcoming EP on the way, OHGEE shows no signs of slowing down. His storytelling, passion, and resilience make him a standout artist in a crowded industry. Each release adds another layer to his evolving story—one that’s rooted in real-life struggle, but driven by faith and focus. Fans can expect “Long Way” to be just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a powerful run for this rising Florida talent.

Dayton, Ohio’s own Philonius Phunk, founder of Phunk Breaks Entertainment, returns with a bold and empowering new single, “Take It Off” ft. SwagSwitcha, released on October 22, 2025. Known for his creative approach to hip-hop and club music, Philonius sets out to deliver a track that feels sexy, high-energy, and rooted in respect. With production by Keke Got Beats and engineering by Bill Beats, the record delivers a polished blend of bounce, rhythm, and confidence—crafted for nightlife but grounded in intention.

What sets “Take It Off” apart is the message behind the music. Philonius Phunk wrote this record from the perspective of a supportive male patron, deliberately avoiding misogyny while uplifting the women who make club culture thrive. His motivation came from wanting to show appreciation for sex workers, recognizing them as entrepreneurs who navigate supply, demand, and branding like any other business professional. “Just because they use their bodies as a business,” he explains, “doesn’t discredit them from getting money or being who they are aside from work.” This commitment to honoring their hustle shines through lyrically, especially in standout lines like: “They’re just mad, cuz they’re broke, sippin’ on hater lean / They see your best life is on point, and that content mean.”

With all his music available on major streaming platforms and Bandcamp, Philonius Phunk continues to expand his reach and his message. While he’s earned many achievements in his career, he proudly states that one of his greatest accolades is simply “the gift of life”—a perspective that reflects his grounded, grateful energy as both an artist and a person. “Take It Off” is more than a club anthem—it’s a celebration of empowerment, entrepreneurship, and giving flowers where they’re due.

On October 17, 2025, J-COOL officially dropped FULL TIME TRAPPIN, a record that embodies his grind, his lifestyle, and the ambition that’s shaped every chapter of his journey. While the core of the track still reflects long nights hustling and early mornings chasing goals, J-COOL adds a unique twist: a nostalgic Ninja Gaiden–inspired NES aesthetic fused with a vintage Cash Money vibe. That combination gives the song a sound that feels both familiar and futuristic. For J-COOL, this record is undeniably special because it isn’t fabricated—it’s his real life, crafted bar by bar with intentional hit-making precision. “The beat lures you in from the beginning and keeps you in my trance so you can quickly get submerged in J-COOL’s realm,” he explains.

The artwork mirrors that energy: J-COOL in full ninja mode, masked up, chains shining, weaving through a neon-lit city with a tattooed model rocking beside him. It’s a cinematic visual pulled straight from the world he lives in—raw, flashy, and unrushed. But what really seals the track’s personality are the lyrics, including one of his favorite lines: “She my lil freak like to do the nasty,” a bold, playful bar that “screams ratchetness,” exactly the energy he aimed to capture in today’s hip-hop climate. On top of the song’s originality, J-COOL continues to stack achievements: reaching 9K YouTube subscribers, creating his first AI-generated music video for Full Time Trappin, and crafting a deeply personal track called “The Vibe” with his little brother Cameron before his tragic passing—one of his most meaningful milestones as an artist.

The sound of FULL TIME TRAPPIN is cinematic, raw, and addictive—hooks that stick, bars that hit, and production that immediately grabs the listener. For day-one supporters, this release feels like an evolution. For new listeners, it’s the perfect introduction to the unfiltered, high-energy world of J-COOL. Stream it on all major platforms, run it through the speakers, and let the beat pull you into his universe. J-COOL season is officially in motion—and he’s only getting started.

Florence, South Carolina’s own B.G.I. Dean is making serious hometown noise with his latest single, “S.T.A.B.” Representing Blaq Global Industries, Dean has been crafting his sound for a few years, and it’s paying off—his track is in heavy rotation across local clubs and radio, making it nearly impossible to step out in Florence without hearing his voice. The song blends simplicity with undeniable catchiness, a formula that’s connecting strongly with fans and helping Dean earn the respect he’s worked for in his city.

What truly makes “S.T.A.B.” special to B.G.I. Dean is watching real-time reactions from the crowd when the song drops.
