on May 5, 2010

cover LETITBEFAMOUS
If you are unfamiliar, DOXX, is a local MC. He’s been in Toronto for the last 10 months, but has returned to Cleveland with some new music, and some serious steel toed boots. His new mixtape is entitled “Let it Be…Famous” and is a tribute to his favorite band of all-time The Beatles. This is the first re-mix project of Doxx’s career, so he wanted to make sure he did it the right way. He enlisted his partner-in-crime producer, Freeze, to help him bring his idea to life. You can download the mixtape here.

I first met DOXX last week when Clipse was at Next Coventry. It didn’t take long for us to set up a photo-shoot, interview video, and in-store listening party. The in-store event will be at Next Coventry, and in collaboration with The Coventry Kids on May 21st . Stay tuned, more information to coming soon. Above is the photo-shoot at Next Coventry. Below is the video interview, with some nice stop motion editing courtesy of Sir William Productions and AdAb Productions.

Is Bria Davis Cleveland’s Next R&B Sensation?

on March 23, 2010

Wow! Thats all I could say after I heard Bria Davis singing while shopping at our Next Coventry location. Bria is an aspiring singer/songwriter who attends Cleveland School of Arts. Bria also impressed me with how professional she was at the age of 15 as she handed me her bussiness card. Her goal is to become an international performer in the arts of music and entertainment. I believe she has more then enough talent to achieve her goal. Just dont take my word, check out the video and see for yourself.
