UPDATE: "Nebulous" has reached the Top 10 on Bandcamp, currently sitting in the #8 spot. Let's keep pushing!

Monday evening Illect Recordings artist Wes Pendleton released a "pay what you want" style album called Nebulous on Bandcamp. There is also a deluxe edition available for only $5. All beats were be Wes and he is joined by a few special guests.

Here's what Wes had to say, "Basically this project is my way of sharing some inner turmoil I went through with balancing how I do my music, with the expectations of folks who support, and the realization that I am now marketed to a totally different base altogether.  I started off like a bolt of lightning, and then felt like I ran into some obstacles which caused some frustration and confusion.  So the outlook began looking hazy, and I wasn't sure if I could really see where this was going, hence the title name "Nebulous".  So this little nugget is basically my way of working some things out, starting with ultimately just trusting God that he knows what He's doing, and the outcome is gonna be blessed regardless.  So, like the project shows, this all starts out with me and Him, and ultimately ends with me and Him as well, and from this point I can carry out what I am supposed to do without and worries."

Full Ride Music Group recording artist, Thi’sl, has had the hip-hop scene buzzing with his most recent musical works. From his release of Beautiful Monster, which debuted No. 4 on the iTunes hip-hop charts, No.24 on Billboard Rap Charts, all while being completely indie. Now, with his music video release for “Hey Moma,” Thi’sl proceeds to supply his audience with quality work that points to an even more superior message. 

Thi’sl’s “Hey Momma” is a song that celebrates the strength, beauty, and importance of women and mothers everywhere. As a kid growing up in the hood, Thi’sl witnessed how countless women in the community endured many hardships in an effort to open doors for the next generation. Overworked and many times fatigued, these women gave of themselves to benefit others. However, a lot of them failed to receive the proper gratitude and appreciation they deserved for the efforts.
