When running through today’s landscape of “true” Female MC’s that is able to deliver with the lyrical strength and poise through a male dominated industry, who isn’t backed by plugged music hubs, it’s one name that has to be mentioned if you aren’t already familiar with it & it’s Omerretta The Great. A Atlanta (Zone 3) native who decided to start taking  her music journey seriously after quitting college 2016, she released her debute mixtape Black Magic: A Dose Reality December 2016 that alone show she made her mind up and was ready to work.

She’s a Star, while being co-signed by YFN Lucci and to have said they have unreleased tracks, you could only imagine what’s to come. With Releasing the video of “Dats Cap” December ‘17 she ended the year pretty strong leaving us all waiting. In her current interview with DJ Smallz this year she state that it was a time where she wanted to quite rapping last year. She really didn’t speak too much on it but... To me it sound like the mistake that many great people do before they actually realize that they are “Great”. Which gets themselves in binding situations unknowingly that make bad business decisions because the creator is loosing. But with whatever that situation is , it looks like it’s behind her and it looks like she’s ready to tear the game a new rectum 😂😂 BUT CHECK OUT HER VIDEO "DATS CAP"!!! Follow @omeretta

Shi was born and raised in the Detroit Metropolitan area. However, both of her parents immigrated to

the United States and are of Jamaican heritage. Shi is striving to become well-rounded in the performing arts.

By far, her greatest gift is as a musician. At age 8, Shi has had the honor of performing at Disney World.

At age 10, she has opened for Kevin Little at the Detroit Caribbean Cultural Festival. She has been asked

many times to sing the Star Spangled Banner and GOD Bless America for distinguished guests such as;

Detroit’s Mayor Mike Duggan, City Council Member Raquel Castaneda-Lopez, at a Detroit Tigers game in 2015 at Comerica Park, and for Veterans from World War II, Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, Dessert Storm,

Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Shi was a 4-year member of the Michigan Opera Theater Children’s Chorus Principal Choir at the Detroit

Opera House. Where she deepens her knowledge of musical theory and site reading. In the spring of

2018 she starred as Josephine in the opera H.M.S. Pinafore. She also had a leading role in the Summer

King. Outside of music, Shi was crowned Lil Miss Strawberry Princess at the Belleville Strawberry Festival at age 4, she was briefly seen in the Nike commercial ‘Dream With Us’, she was featured in a Better Made

Special commercial, she appears as Addy on the American Girl website, she appears in a Mike Posner

music video, Be as You Are and the Gold Star Chili, ‘Chili Mac is Back’ commercial.

Shi has recorded three singles; Keep It Running, Feelin Fine, and Our Vibe. And now she is excited to

release her first EP! To be SHI is an expressive R&B Ep that consists of heartbreak, social experiences, and life lessons while also incorporating the complex personality of the artist SHI herself. “CTRL” which is the first song on the Ep gives the listener a warm and inviting sensation allowing you to sit back, relax, and vibe with SHI. While also hitting you with the hidden intensity that the lyrics have to offer. “Game Changer” and “ Love Me Now” open up the complicated relationships that the artist SHI has encountered as a teenager, feeding you organic emotions that might confuse a first time listener, but as you re- listen and dive deeper into the lyrics these convoluted love songs start to make sense and expose the development of young love in today’s society. “Afro Puffs” is a coming of age song that highlights the development of SHI as a young West- Indian/ African American child. Showcasing the trials and tribulations of a young chocolate soul. “Confused” recognizes the heartbreak in SHI’s life, from the over contemplation and regret that surfaces in the lyrics. The last song “SMOKE” was created to halt the convoluting thoughts that are constantly mentioned within the EP. It’s simply a song of encouragement that carries nothing but raw emotion and a reminder that SHI don’t bangs with none of these hoes.

Hailing all the way from the motherland, WKMT-DB DAGR8FM presents  the up and coming international sensation "Nuw". Originally from Nairobi Kenya, Nuw, born Brian Kangethe, emigrated to Canada around the turn of the century. He was raised in a very traditional African household with very strict parents that always stressed the importance of academic excellence. Whenever he found the chance to get his head out of the school books he would dive into the wonderful world of music. From the tender age of eight years old Nuw was exposed to the likes of legends such as Tupac, Biggie Smalls, are Lauryn Hill. This was the foundation of his love affair with music that was later cemented when hometown hero Drake broke out onto the scene. All of these artists influenced Nuw's development heavily along his musical journey.

When making music he draws from the dynamic lyricism and wordplay of many of the hip hop artists from the old school and add nuances and cadences derived from New age artists currently on the scene. The result is a music that has depth, figurative language, content, and knowledge well beyond Nuw's years. This is evident in one of the tracks "Intro (Flex)" off of his recently released self-titled EP. In this particular track he talks about many of the trials and tribulations that he's faced along his journey through life like superficial friendships, mental health issues as well as childhood trauma.

As he continued making music, his fan base and outreach grew immensely. So much so that during his senior year of high school he expanded his music pursuit to the professional level.  What was initially just a hobby used as a therapeutic outlet became a burning passion that has yet to show any signs of dwindling.  Through his music he aims to convey the importance of individuality. Staying true to yourself and not conforming to outside influences are keys to standing out. Raw authenticity goes along way.

On the horizon are many new projects in the works by Nuw himself. Aside from his self-titled EP released earlier this year he is currently working on new singles as well as features that will be released in 2021 and has even been entertaining the idea of creating another EP set to release in quarter four of 2021 or the first half of 2022. Nuw is definitely an artist to be on the lookout for in the near future. Young, humble and hungry for success, Nuw will definitely continue to impact the hearts of many for years to come.
