Roscoe has also built a legacy as a songwriter, contributing behind the scenes to records including Wale and Miguel’s “Lotus Flower Bomb.” His ability to create melodies, hooks, and moments that live beyond a single release remains central to his influence.
Roscoe is now preparing for the highly anticipated release of Can’t Catch the Lambo II, a new body of music that draws from the energy of his earlier career while reflecting the artist and creative visionary he has become.
The project is rooted in evolution, bringing listeners into the futuristic world of Roscoe Dash and revealing the full range of his artistry, perspective, and imagination.

The music connects Roscoe’s recognizable sound with a more intentional and multidimensional creative direction shaped by experience, growth, and a deeper understanding of the industry.
This chapter reintroduces Roscoe Dash as more than the voice behind some of hip-hop’s most recognizable records. He is stepping forward as a complete creative force whose work now spans recording, songwriting, production, performance, and acting.
Can’t Catch the Lambo II represents both a return to form and the beginning of the world Roscoe is building next, as he teams back up with hitmaker Drumma Boy for their upcoming single, “I Wanna Rock.”

Stevieontay Burnz Announces Burnz and Beyond — Where Music, Cannabis Culture, and Entrepreneurship Collide

Independent artist and entrepreneur Stevieontay Burnz prepares to release Burnz and Beyond, a new project built around cannabis culture, ambition, independence, and the real-life experiences behind The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary)

 

Stevieontay Burnz is bringing together two worlds that have become inseparable from his story: music and cannabis culture.

 

The independent artist, entrepreneur, and founder of The Southern Maryland Experience (The Experience Dispensary) is preparing to release his new album, Burnz and Beyond, a project that takes listeners deeper into the lifestyle, business, and experiences that have shaped both his music and his growing brand.

 

Rather than separating the artist from the entrepreneur, Burnz and Beyond puts both sides of Burnz on full display.

 

The album draws inspiration from his experiences building The Southern Maryland Experience, navigating the independent music industry, developing cannabis products and brands, and continuing to push forward through the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

 

From The Southern Maryland Experience to Burnz and Beyond

 

Founded under Unlimited Experience Holding Company LLC, The Southern Maryland Experience / The Experience Dispensary has grown from its Maryland roots into a legal cannabis and hemp-focused retail brand with operations in North Carolina.

 

The company focuses on the legal, 21+ cannabis and hemp market, offering a curated selection of products while building a brand centered around cannabis culture rather than the traditional dispensary experience.

 

For Burnz, that business isn't separate from his music. 

 

It is part of the story.

 

That connection can be heard throughout Burnz and Beyond, where cannabis references sit alongside themes of ambition, relationships, pressure, independence, success, and the realities of trying to build something from the ground up.

 

The Burnz and Beyond Rollout Begins

 

The album rollout begins with “Wax Wizardry,” arriving September 30, 2026.

Mixed and mastered by Crackle Kapone, “Wax Wizardry” introduces listeners to the cannabis-heavy atmosphere surrounding the project while showcasing the sound Stevieontay Burnz has continued developing as an independent artist. 

 

The rollout continues with:

 

“Married to Mary” — October 7 

“Terp Temple” — October 14 

“The Experience” — October 21

 

AND MORE TO FOLLOW!

 

Each release expands the world surrounding Burnz and Beyond, connecting Burnz's music with the cannabis culture and entrepreneurial journey behind The Southern Maryland Experience. 

 

The project also follows a growing run for Stevieontay Burnz that has included independent media coverage, radio exposure, interviews, live performances, and continued expansion of his presence across streaming platforms and music media.

 

More Than an Album 

 

The title Burnz and Beyond represents exactly what Stevieontay Burnz is attempting to build. 

 

The music is one part of a much larger vision.

 

As an artist, Burnz is building his catalog and identity independently. As an entrepreneur, he is continuing to develop The Southern Maryland Experience as a recognizable cannabis-focused retail and lifestyle brand. 

 

Those paths now meet in Burnz and Beyond.

 

Instead of simply rapping about cannabis culture from the outside, Burnz's music comes from someone actively involved in the industry — dealing with the long hours, risks, regulations, branding, customers, products, and constant pressure involved in building a legal cannabis business. 

 

That gives Burnz and Beyond a perspective that goes beyond cannabis references alone. 

 

It's the soundtrack to the lifestyle behind them.

 

What's Next for Stevieontay Burnz

 

With Wax Wizardry kicking off the rollout September 30, Stevieontay Burnz is entering the next stage of his independent career with new music, expanded media coverage, and continued growth surrounding The Southern Maryland Experience.

 

For Burnz, the goal isn't simply to release another album or operate another dispensary. 

 

It's to build an ecosystem where music, cannabis culture, entrepreneurship, art, and community can exist under one identity. 

 

And with Burnz and Beyond, those pieces are beginning to come together.

Atlanta Female Artist Sparoh Previews New Single "Panama"

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion. Equal parts vulnerable and unapologetic, her work explores identity, liberation, and the complexities of Black womanhood.

Raised in the DMV on a foundation of jazz, funk, and blues, Sparoh was drawn early to artists who challenged convention and redefined what was possible. Influenced by trailblazers like Joyce Kennedy, Betty Davis, and Tina Turner, she later expanded her sonic palette to include contemporary icons such as Beyoncé and the raw intensity of bands like Slipknot. The result is a genre defying duality that is uniquely her own.

Before fully stepping into music, Sparoh spent time in New York as a professional dancer, an experience that deepened her understanding of movement, storytelling, and performance. After relocating to Atlanta, she embraced her identity as a multidisciplinary artist, weaving together music, poetry, movement, and visual expression into a creative world that is both intimate and electrifying.

Now entering her next chapter, Sparoh is preparing to release her latest single, “Panama.” Bold, hypnotic, and emotionally unfiltered, the record signals an evolution in her artistry while remaining rooted in the themes that have defined her work from the beginning: self-discovery, confidence, and creative freedom.

At the heart of Sparoh’s music is an invitation to live without apology. “I want people to be fearless, to do what the f**k they want to do, and to express themselves however they see fit,” she says.

“Especially as Black women, we often put ourselves in boxes based on what we think others expect from us. There’s so much more to us than that. I hope my music encourages people to embrace every part of who they are.”

With a sound that resists categorization and a presence that commands attention, Sparoh is carving out her own lane—creating a soundtrack for the rebels, the outsiders, and anyone courageous enough to be fully themselves.

AdeBoy (@adeboymusic) - "Good Die Young" (Video)

At 15 years old, AdeBoy lost his father, a loss that would shape the direction of his  life long before he fully understood its impact.  Now at 40, the artist returns to Nigeria in an emotional journey back to his roots,  reconnecting with family, identity and the memory of the man whose absence has  echoed through every chapter of his life.  Captured through powerful visuals and raw storytelling, “Good Die Young” is more  than a song. It is a moment of reflection, healing and legacy.  Traveling back to stand at his father’s grave became a spiritual experience for  AdeBoy. It was not simply about mourning loss, but about understanding lineage,  honouring sacrifice and recognizing how deeply a father’s presence can continue to  live through generations even after death.  “This song is deeply personal to me,” AdeBoy explains. “I created it in loving memory  of my father and to honour the people we carry with us long after they’re gone.” Blending vulnerability with strength, “Good Die Young” speaks to anyone who has  experienced grief, separation or the lifelong search for identity and belonging. The  record carries themes of resilience, generational connection and the unbreakable  bond between father and son.  Though his father passed away too soon, AdeBoy believes his spirit lives on through  him, through his children and through the family legacy that continues to grow.  The accompanying visual journey through Nigeria reinforces that message,  grounding the release in heritage, remembrance and reconnection.  “His name, his strength and his story will never fade. This record is for him. This moment is for legacy.”

Big Grip (@ynpgrip) - "Fck The Market" (Video)

Big Grip releases “Fck The Market,” the latest official video from his new project Get Rich Or Keep Tryin. A solo rapper from Eastside Atlanta raised in Covington, Georgia, Big Grip has been moving steadily through the Pack Power run with a string of official drops that show the pace of his output rather than a stop-start rollout. Before “Fck The Market,” he released “Black Truck” featuring CEO Trayle and “Slanger,” both produced by CashOut Beatz, then followed with “PNoid” featuring Bally Baby and “Math Class,” again working with CashOut Beatz while pushing visuals shot by 1Way Films and Gawds Vision. Along the way, Grip has continued building within a lane tied to street records, visuals, and consistent releases, with notable connections including Big Moochie Grape, Johnny Cinco, and No Plug.

Tezzerd Eagle & Swoe Whoa take the “Jiggalate” to On The Radar | @OnTheRadarRadio

Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa bring The Jiggalate to New York on On The Radar. Gabe P and Lady Jay share how they discovered the movement, their thoughts on the Jiggalate movement, and advice for rising artists.

From Naptown to New York

When regional culture reaches a national stage, it creates moments bigger than music. That is exactly what happened when Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa brought the “Jiggalate” movement from Indiana to New York City for a standout appearance on On The Radar.

The moment represented more than a performance. It was a celebration of Indiana energy, Naptown pride, and the power of music to connect cities and cultures.

How On The Radar Learned About Jiggalate

According to Gabe P., the movement came to his attention through Lady Jay, a key member of the On The Radar team with deep Indiana roots.

He explained that Lady Jay’s family is from the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne region, and she also attended Indiana University. After hearing about the song and dance a few months ago, Gabe P immediately saw the value in showcasing something meaningful to a member of the team and authentic to Indiana culture.

That decision turned into a national spotlight moment for Tezzerd Eagle & Swoe Whoa and the Jiggalate wave.

Naptown Talent Made a Strong Statement

When asked about seeing the Indiana artists in person, Gabe P spoke highly of the experience.

He shared that On The Radar values welcoming people from all walks of life because every appearance brings a new piece of culture into the room. He said the energy brought by Tezzerd Eagle, Swoe Whoa, Lil Billy, Kaz, Yo Mari and Norrie was needed, appreciated, and something he hoped made Naptown proud.

Lady Jay echoed those sentiments and said it was an incredible experience highlighting talent from Naptown and Indiana as a whole. She emphasized the importance of building community and connecting artists. She also noted how meaningful it was to see artists supporting each other throughout the event.

Lady Jay also remembered Norrie appearing previously during an On The Radar DJ set with DJ Draftpick, making his return even more exciting.

Could Tezzerd Eagle Return for a Remix?

When asked if Tezzerd Eagle could come back for a remix to Jiggalate, Gabe P kept the door wide open.

He explained that when any artist has a real movement that continues to grow, and when both the artist and On The Radar can amplify the moment together, it makes perfect sense.

That answer sends a clear message: keep building momentum.

Gabe P’s Advice for Artists Trying to Get On The Radar

Gabe P also offered honest advice for rising artists hoping to land on the platform.

First, he warned artists not to give money to scammers pretending to offer placements. He made it clear that On The Radar does not charge artists to appear.

Second, he encouraged artists to sharpen their craft and create music and content that stands out from the crowd instead of blending into it.

Finally, he explained that many artists are discovered organically through the team’s own feeds and research. There is no single formula, but consistent work gets noticed.

Special Thanks to Lady Jay

A special thank you goes to Lady Jay for helping bridge Indiana culture with a national audience. Her vision and connection helped create a moment that fans will remember.

Final Thoughts

Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa did more than perform a record. They helped bring a regional dance, a city’s energy, and a culture to one of hip-hop’s most visible platforms.

This is how movements grow—one opportunity, one stage, and one unforgettable performance at a time.
