In the world of music, originality is everything. Some artists stand out because of their sound, others because of their style—and then there are those rare gems who have both. Enter Stick Boovy, the genre-blending powerhouse who’s making waves with his fusion of hip-hop and rock.

But before you even hear him spit a bar or shred a guitar solo, there’s one thing everyone notices: he looks like he could be Zach Galifianakis’ long-lost brother. With his rugged beard, expressive face, and unpredictable energy, he has an uncanny resemblance to the actor best known for his role as Alan in The Hangover. But make no mistake—Stick Boovy isn’t here to crack jokes (though his stage presence is electric). He’s here to rock the crowd.

A Genre-Bending Sound That Hits Different
What makes Stick Boovy a standout artist is his seamless fusion of hip-hop and rock music. He’s got the gritty lyricism and rhythm of a seasoned rapper, but he brings that raw, rebellious energy of a rockstar. Think Kid Cudi meets Rage Against the Machine or Travis Scott with a splash of Nirvana.

Whether he’s spitting rapid-fire bars over heavy drum loops or belting out choruses over distorted guitar riffs, Stick Boovy’s sound refuses to be put in a box. His music is a sonic rollercoaster, mixing head-nodding beats with moshing energy—something the industry hasn’t seen in a long time.

Fashion as Bold as His Music
If his music wasn’t enough to grab attention, Stick Boovy’s fashion sense takes it to another level. He doesn’t follow trends—he creates them. Picture this: vintage rock tees, studded jackets, oversized shades, custom sneakers, and accessories that scream “I don’t care, but I know you’re watching”.

His style is a perfect reflection of his artistry—bold, unpredictable, and entirely his own. Whether he’s rocking leather pants on a Tuesday or pulling up in a fur coat at a summer festival, he makes sure every outfit is a statement.

An Entertainer Like No Other
A Stick Boovy performance is not just a concert—it’s an experience. He doesn’t just perform; he commands the stage, engaging the crowd like a true rockstar. Stage dives, wild dance moves, unexpected freestyles—nothing is off limits.

If you’re lucky enough to catch him live, expect to leave sweaty, hyped, and wondering what just happened. He has that rare ability to connect with an audience, turning any venue into a high-energy, unforgettable moment.

What’s Next for Stick Boovy?
With a sound that defies genres, a look that turns heads, and a stage presence that keeps fans on their toes, Stick Boovy is on a fast track to becoming one of music’s most unique entertainers. His upcoming projects are rumored to push the boundaries of hip-hop and rock even further, and if his track record is any indication, they won’t disappoint.

One thing’s for sure: Zach Galifianakis might have found his rockstar twin, but Stick Boovy is carving out his own legendary path. Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss what’s coming next.

Hailing from the vibrant streets of Queens, New York, Zieta Eve is carving her path in the music world with a blend of authenticity, versatility, and raw emotion. Inspired by legends like Hayley Williams, Alicia Keys, Madonna, Donna Summer, and Teena Marie, she effortlessly bridges the gap between timeless influences and modern innovation. Refusing to be confined to a single genre, Zieta Eve explores a dynamic range of sounds, from R&B and Afro R&B to indie rock, rap, and pop. For Zieta Eve, music is not just a craft—it’s a journey of connection, growth, and self-expression.

Her journey in music spans seven years of creating, performing, and evolving, but her connection to music has been lifelong. Zieta Eve has never shied away from challenging expectations, and her body of work reflects her relentless passion and creative fearlessness.

Zieta Eve’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. She’s shared stages with some of the industry’s most iconic names, including Remy Ma, The Lox, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, and more during Pretty Lou’s 3rd Annual Charity Concert. Her electrifying performances have also graced Bronx Pride twice, amplifying messages of love and inclusivity. Beyond live shows, she’s made waves in the studio with a hit Gauracha track in collaboration with DJ Pereira and showcased her versatility by winning the 5BORO Showcase. Even local recognition like being named “Artist of the Week” by Saucey Pizza in Long Island City reflects the buzz surrounding her artistry.

For Zieta Eve, motherhood became the turning point in her artistry. Her upcoming project, “Love Is… V2,” is the continuation of her debut EP, “Love Is…,” and it represents her newfound confidence, personal growth, and understanding of love. Reflecting on her journey, she shares,
“The irony of dropping an EP called ‘Love Is…’ while simultaneously beginning my journey of learning what that is for myself is just perfect. My journey now understands love through motherhood as well as self-love. This is the most I’ve ever accepted myself as I am, so this project has no essence of second-guessing. It’s me in all forms—completely loved and seen by myself as my biggest critic.”

This newfound self-assurance has allowed Zieta Eve to embrace every part of herself—the vulnerable, the strong, the loving, and the unapologetically real. Her music reflects her truth, inviting listeners to connect deeply with their own stories of love, resilience, and transformation.

As 2024 comes to a close, Zieta Eve is preparing to release a special track titled “Mindless,” which she describes as a bold step into a new chapter of sound. Looking ahead to 2025, she plans to bring her vision to life with an array of creative projects. Fans can expect captivating visuals that showcase her talents in acting, dancing, and choreography, as well as intimate live productions that weave storytelling into her music. Beyond her music, Zieta Eve aims to expand her creative impact through photography, using her platform to empower women and fellow artists to build confidence and express themselves freely.

The artist attributes much of her inspiration to her 2-year-old son, Anthony Ruiz Jr., who she credits as the driving force behind her most recent work.

Zieta Eve also extends her gratitude to SwagStudios, the birthplace of “Love Is…”, and to Karel and Nicole Rogers for taking her live performances to the next level. She credits her parents for their unwavering belief in her talent, always reminding her that every song she creates is a hit.

But what truly sets Zieta Eve apart from other artists is her unapologetic authenticity. She embraces everything that makes her unique:
“What sets me apart from other artists is simple: I am who I am, and that is ‘too much,’ ‘too sensitive,’ ‘too understanding’—and I claim it all. The good, the bad, and I write about it. I live it. I’m here for the music as well as true human connection. Anyone can connect to me. It’s like being both a beautiful piece of art and a blank canvas at the same time.”

With a career rooted in self-discovery, resilience, and human connection, Zieta Eve proves that the most powerful art comes from being unapologetically yourself. From her powerful performances to her heartfelt music, Zieta Eve’s journey is just beginning, and her fans are invited along for the ride.

Stay tuned, because Zieta Eve is ready to redefine artistry in 2025 and beyond.

Ohio has long been a fertile ground for unique musical talent, producing renowned acts such as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Machine Gun Kelly, Killarmy, Stalley, Trippie Redd, Illogic, DaBaby, Hi-Tek, Copywrite, and Ray Cash. Adding to this legacy is the state’s next emerging powerhouse, The Council 2432.

The group is gearing up for a groundbreaking 2025 after securing a distribution deal with Dominion Hill Records, a New Jersey-based label, and Roc Nation Distribution. Their rise to prominence began with a buzzworthy performance by their lead artist, Jag Da Apostle, during a rap cipher in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event, part of an after-party hosted by Killarmy-Supreme and Mook of the Wu-Tang Clan, featured appearances by Wu-Tang affiliates Dom Pachino of Killarmy, Rugged Monk of Black Knights, Cappadonna, and Inspectah Deck.

Billy Blaize, CEO of The Council 2432, is not only a driving force behind the group but also a major player in the legal cannabis industry. Leveraging his influence, Blaize has secured opportunities for the group to perform at prominent festivals and cannabis events across Ohio and the Tri-State area, further solidifying their presence in the industry.

The Midwest-based group comprises artists Jag Da Apostle, Mall Black, Manny Devise, Matthew Cooper, Zach Wright, and Billy Blaize. Notably, Jag Da Apostle doubles as a dynamic producer, as showcased on the group’s self-titled mixtape, The Council 2432.

“Midwest Hip-Hop has its own identity,” says Rhasun of Dominion Hill Records. “What sets it apart from New York and the East Coast is that the market here isn’t as oversaturated. New York, being the birthplace of Hip-Hop, naturally has more artists, producers, and DJs who grew up in the culture. In New York, you often have to convert other artists into fans, which isn’t easy since everyone views you as competition. The Council 2432 has a unique advantage by cross-promoting their music through cannabis festivals and events.”

The Council 2432 is set to release their debut album, currently untitled, in the first quarter of 2025. With their distinctive sound and innovative approach, this group is poised to leave a lasting mark on Midwest Hip-Hop and beyond.

Hailing originally from Uniondale in Long Island, New York, and now based in Queens since 2020, C MiLLi has been carving out his unique path in the world of music. Rooted in a blend of Hip-Hop (Boom-Bap) and R&B/Soul, his artistry reflects both his spoken word beginnings and a deep introspection that resonates with fans across the board.

C MiLLi draws inspiration from legendary acts like A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Wale, J. Cole, Kanye West, and Musiq Soulchild. These influences shine through in his reflective lyricism, soulful melodies, and grounded storytelling. His musical journey began in 2011, but his first commercial release came in 2019—a testament to the patience and perseverance that define his approach.

For the past four years, C MiLLi has headlined his own live show series, “C MiLLi Live,” across NYC. Each show is a fully curated experience, with 1-3 artists performing their own 15-minute sets, followed by C MiLLi’s 35-60 minute headlining performance. From behind-the-scenes planning to on-stage execution, he’s built a reputation for creating shows that captivate and inspire audiences.

C MiLLi’s latest project dives into self-reflection and his experiences as an independent artist. “Reflection on my life and this musical journey,” he explains. “As independent artists, we face unforeseen challenges that mold us—sometimes for the better, sometimes not. It’s important to give ourselves grace, to cherish how far we’ve come, and embrace what lies ahead.” His message is one of perseverance, gratitude, and hope.

Fans of C MiLLi have plenty to look forward to in the coming year. He’s preparing to release new music, likely in the form of an EP, along with visually stunning music videos in collaboration with a trusted director. His upcoming YouTube series, “MiLLi Bought It,” will debut next year, showcasing his creativity in a fresh format. Season 2 of “MiLLi Merch” has already launched, and the line will continue to expand into 2025. Additionally, his “MiLLi Vision”newsletter offers a closer look at his journey—available for subscription on his website, cmillivision.com.

C MiLLi gives special recognition to several key contributors to his recent project: producer DJ Flipside, engineer RM808s, and visualizer director Rafa Diaz. Their efforts have helped bring his vision to life, elevating the quality and depth of his work.

What truly makes C MiLLi stand out is his spoken word foundation and his thoughtful, reflective writing style. His artistic awakening began in high school, where he performed Gil Scott Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” That experience profoundly shaped how he approaches conveying messages in his music. “I’ve believed things were bigger than me for a long time,” he says. “I keep that mindset in my writing so others can resonate in their own ways.”

C MiLLi’s music is more than entertainment—it’s an invitation to reflect, grow, and connect. As he continues to evolve, his fans can expect nothing less than authenticity, creativity, and a deeper glimpse into the mind of an artist who’s here for the long run.
