SINGLE ∙ POP ∙ 2022 Let You Know performed by Life Adjusted
Life Adjusted is the in-house, DIY, progressive metal project of former Army specialist Chase Grim
The musical journey of Chase Grim began at age 10 when he received a guitar from his parents as a birthday gift. He has not put it down since. Completely self-taught on both guitar and drums, Grim began playing in church worship bands as a 13-year-old and wrote his first song at 14.
Grim took his love of music with him when he was stationed in Iraq in 2009 and 2011 as an E-4 specialist. Grim would play songs on a cheap guitar hooked up to an even cheaper amplifier just to relieve the stress of the experience.
It was also during his time in the military that Grim met Cedric “Legacy City” Bellamy who taught him about the mechanics of songwriting, showing him how to structure a song, but more importantly, how to make a song stick in the listener’s ear.
After returning home from active duty, Grim took to his MacBook and began recording songs both as a solo artist and in collaboration with connections he made throughout his travels. Grim has kept up the practice of writing and recording music in tandem with musicians across the world to this day.
Inspired by the heavy percussion and deeply introspective lyrics of bands like The Devil Wears Prada and Slipknot, Grim began recording under his progressive metal moniker Life Adjusted in 2019. Since then, Grim has amassed a database of over 100 songs that are just waiting for the right time and the right touch.
Approaching his work like a musical mad scientist, Grim’s music grows organically out of experimentation, fusing together elements of heavy metal, pop-punk, dubstep and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll. For his latest track, “Let You Know,” Grim even brought in elements of emo after working with LA singer-songwriter Eric Formhals.
In addition to Formhals, Grim has worked with artists both at home in North Texas and abroad to bring Life Adjusted out of the shadows. Italian session singer Eric Castiglia contributed heavily to Life Adjusted’s 2021 debut album, Transition, as well as Dallas singer-songwriter David Southern.
As Grim travels across the country as a field technician for a clean energy company, he is continuously looking for more artists to expand the breadth and depth of his Life Adjusted project. Anyone interested in working with Grim can contact him through his Instagram: @life_adjusted_official
2016 RnB Soul Single Different (Remastered) performed by: Lakeem
Lakeem Williams is an American singer, songwriter. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, he started his career in 2010, releasing the several mix-tapes. Currently Lakeem is flaunting his singles “Poison” and “Danger”. The latter song was originally created in 2013, with the artist’s dad putting down the funky baseline. They did the recording in about 3 hours. In the world of R&B music, there is a void; an all-too-obvious lack of credible, intelligent music that so defined the genre in its heyday. The R&B or Soul, of yesteryear was written by masters of their craft. Now what we are being handed–with a few notable exceptions–is a body work that lacks soul and meaning. Yes, you can dance to it, but where is the deeper, soulful meaning? Lakeem seems to be delivering both, with his latest cuts.
Lakeem seems to be carving a highly impressive slot for himself in the R&B world with an ingratiating style highlighting emotionally savvy lyrics from a man’s point of view that shows a mature grasp of women’s feelings in relationships.
Alongside that, his appealing vocal delivery, bearing a hint of influence from MJ’s limber phrasing but with a smoothness of his own, is a welcome deviation from the over-produced performances of many of his radio contemporaries.
Finally, urgent but cool tempered, groove music, with a nod to the solid astuteness of present-day urban sonic structures. The focused frankness of Lakeem’s lyrics also cements his position as a purveyor of sophisticated, contemporary R&B and Soul.
The rhythm feels incredibly simplistic, with a basic bass guitar pattern and light razor sharp drumming. Meanwhile Lakeem’s vocals are made to carry the workload, and are given the backing of more vocal performance which add sonic depth.
The combination of these vocals melismatically transcend through the notes and then drop back and forth exquisitely. The whole package is incredibly appealing, but nuanced vocal performance and clever songwriting are the order of the day here. “Danger” invites the listener to the kind of music exploration only a voice like Lakeem’s can offer.
In a time, that R&B has changed immensely. A time, when it feels like the sound is moving away from the traditional, vocally-focused aesthetic of the game’s core and the genre is waning in popularity as a whole, in favor of EDM and Trap, Lakeem steadfastly – maybe even stubbornly – sticks to his musical guns.
Now while all the R&B singers are rapping, and all the rappers think they can sing, and traditional R&B is being pigeonholed into some other corner, Lakeem delivers some real authentic sounding stuff with “Danger”.
Clearly there’s still space in the modern game for a singer of Lakeem’s stock, especially as he seems to have found a way to make his latest singles sound both vintage and modern, without trend-chasing. “Danger” is one of those tracks that when you put it on, your body – mind, heart and feet – just sort of naturally do what they’re supposed to do. It’s kind of a no-brainer. Just follow the groove!
Nice strong voice tha goes well with the vibe and tone of 1991. This is a song that sets the mood to celebrate an anniversary because a lot of people can think back to 1991 and try to remember what they were doing, I know for me it was a pleasure flash back since the world was so different. Thank you for that trip back as I was able to revert to a better time in my life. You did an outstanding job. We will put on our Spotify Playlist, YouTube Playlist and Blog also if you send us an mp3 we will feature it on our June Artists Podcast.
Referred by MusicSubmit Byzantine Hip-Hop Rap Group - BMI - Philadelphia - Single "Steppin"
Byzantine is a new edgy Hip Hop group from Baltimore and Philadelphia whose music represents a light in a dark period. Adopting monikers of Saints of the Byzantine Era, these masterful artists use cautionary tales, songs of hope and good vibes paired with grit from the streets to offer a refreshing aura to the world of Hip Hop.
The four artists who make up the group are St Justinian, St. Leo, St. Phocas and St. Zeno. Together they’re introducing their unique sound and style to the world with their second single “WATER”. “WATER” is the follow up single to the group’s lit first single “ILL,” which was featured on SWAY in the Morning, BET/MTV Jams, DTF Radio, Air it Out Radio and various other mix shows throughout the country.
When asked for the meaning of their latest single “WATER”, each member gives their perspective of the song which; echoes the same profound message; “Water” is about making the change in one’s life that takes you out of harm’s way.
According to St. Phocas, the big picture for the group is creating music that is thought-provoking, aggressively challenging, and inspiring through its personal and sometimes convicting messages.
“We want people to understand we’re not talking about the same things everybody else is talking about,” St. Phocas said. “We’re not degrading our women or our brothers and sisters. We’re making songs that sound good and have a deeper message.”
“Each of us individually has a different sound,” St. Leo said. “I’m more laid back, while St. Zeno and St. Phocas are more animated than myself. When we come together, we blend well together. We’re all carrying each other, and we all bring that same level of talent to the table.” Official Website for Byzantine
