Kansas City’s Rising Star: Recording Artist DonDrizzy

DonDrizzy is a new emerging artist out of the midwest, specifically Kansas City, MO. Born in Columbia, Missouri, Donte grew up an athlete playing football, basketball and baseball but always knew he had a calling to do music. 

After moving to Kansas City, by age of 20 he had released a few songs on Soundcloud that grabbed people's attention online & word spread through the music scene which ultimately found its way to Billboard producer "Smartalec On The Track aka Subliminal Beatz". After hearing his potential, he reached out began trying to work out a distribution deal through Subliminal Music Group. 

The two began recording and working on his sound for the duration of 2 years before releasing his first single titled "Sober" which has hit airwaves in several major cities across the U.S. Since then DonDrizzy has gone to feature with artists such as Stevie Stone & Stephen Jailon and has released his first studio album titled 'Aspera Adastra', which stands for 'to the stars through hardship' (in Latin) and has amassed over 250k streams. "Just think if Jay-Z or Wayne were in their early 20's, his best days are only ahead", Smartalec states, "he's no stranger to the grind and understanding the art of patience when it comes to the creative process", Drizzy claims "it's really about pushing yourself to limits you didn't think you could reach, being an artist that's coming up out of a smaller market you have to go to lengths that aren't normal in order to get your music heard, standing out is a must". 

He's currently in the process of shooting music videos and recording projects being produced by Smartalec & multi-platinum engineer Robert Rebeck. His plan is to make a wider variety of records that incorporate r&b with the trap-drill sound, so be on the lookout for the upcoming EP ‘Between Love & Lust’ 2/14/23 as well as ‘Aspera Adastra II’ winter ‘23.

South Korean Music Sales Exploded the First Half of 2022

South Korean music sales exploded by 31.7 percent during the first half of 2022, the Korean creative content agency reveals — behind only film, pulling ahead of all other forms of entertainment (comics, games, broadcasting, publishing, and animation). 

Korean Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) published its report for 2022’s first half, revealing incredible growth in South Korea’s music industry. Revenues grew by 31.7% year-on-year, behind only films, where sales increased 58.1%.

Additionally, music export revenues increased 26.2% year-on-year thanks to K-Pop’s continued international success with artists such as BTS and Blackpink. The Korean entertainment sector as a whole has experienced tremendous growth in the first half of 2022, with fans eager to return to movie theaters and live performances.

While KOCCA’s report only covers the first half of 2022, some of BTS’ most significant accomplishments for the year occurred later, which speaks to the group’s staying power. They were the IFPI’s Global Recording Artist of the Year in 2020 and 2021, and the June 2022 release of their album Proof brought the already-successful group even more acclaim. Their live-streamed concert in Busan attracted more than 49 million viewers in October.

2022 has also been a banner year for Blackpink, whose international success has indeed rocketed them to the top of South Korean pop stars. They became the first music artist to reach 75 million YouTube subscribers, and both they and BTS held official YouTube Shorts challenges to encourage fan participation.

K-Pop has seen such success globally, thanks largely to the prevalence of streaming, enabling groups to cast a wider net and gain more fans in the West. But physical album sales for the genre have been similarly impressive.

Researchers at South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Securities claim that in May alone, nearly 10 million K-Pop albums were sold. Notably, 48% of those were artists signed under Hybe, including Seventeen and TXT, who had just released new albums that month and accounted for a large portion of the sales.

Pusha T Confirms He’s Cut All Ties With Kanye West

Pusha T has publicly cut ties with Kanye West’s former record label G.O.O.D. Music, which he first joined in 2010, and remained with through the release of his 2022 Grammy-nominated album “It’s Almost Dry.”

In 2015, Pusha became the president of G.O.O.D., but in a new interview with XXL, he confirmed his affiliation with the label was cut following West’s outspoken descent into antisemitism. The company’s parent label, Def Jam, ended its business relationship with G.O.O.D. in late October and clarified that its working relationship with West ended in 2021. Pusha now shares a 50/50 deal directly with Def Jam for his music and is under his own label, Heir Wave Music Group.

The rapper told the publication that he hasn’t spoken to West since he articulated his disappointment with him in a November interview. “I was still on tour. I just expressed myself. I express myself to him a lot. He expressed his thoughts to me,” he said. “And he got off the phone saying, ‘Thank you. I know you don’t agree with me, but you never kill me in the public. And some people can’t wait to do that.'”

When asked about West’s appearances on far-right shows and podcasts, he responded that it was “nothing to tap dance around. It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again.”

He continued: “If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new stuff [on “Infowars“]. I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.”

He recalled having disagreed with West in 2016 following his public support for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign: “People gotta remember, too. This isn’t new for me, when it comes to disagreeing with him politically and things like that.
