Ray J talks Kim Kardashian & new record "I Hit It First (Interview)

Ray sits with DJ Fell Fel  and Big Boy about his new Trending single called "I Hit it First". Ray J says this song was not intended to be aimed at Kim and is not a Kanye Diss.............Riiiiight.





What we do know is that this record was trending worldwide on Twitter earlier this week and has been talked about on TMZ and every website, blog and radio station in the country. People can easily put two and two together. It 100% aimed at Kim and Kanye. Luckily for Ray-J not only is it Controversal but it is also an undeniable smash that is taking rhythmic and top 40 radio stations by storm. The record features Bobby Brackins and he delivers a nice uptempo verse to keep the pop feel of the song.  It's testing very well and the mixed reactions on the subject matter are helping it's hype tremendously. And we ALL know Kanye may come back with something as well...  If you haven't heard it check it out below

Local Artist Spotlight: Rapper AlphaTvylore (Columbus)

Name: Jacob Taylor Estep


Rapper Handle: AlphaTvylore



Hometown: Columbus, OH - born and raised


Currently Residing: Los Angeles, CA


Favorite Rappers: Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, and Childish Gambino


Biggest Influences: Kid Cudi, Lauryn Hill, Biggie, Wayne, Wiz, Eminem, and Andre 3000


Education: Cal-State Fullerton - 2 years into a bachelors in Business. Currently taking a break to pursue his music career, but we will be to finish. He promises.




The first thing you will notice when you meet Jacob is that he has a big head. It's rather obvious. I am not talking about how cocky he is, I am literally talking about the actual size of his head. It's like a size 8. His friends and family always knew he has something special going on up there.


Jacob, A.K.A. AlphaTvylore is actual a very humble man once you get to know him. Born and raised on the East Side of Columbus, OH, his family always had his best interests at heart raising him to be the motivated, educated man he is today. From day one, he was the odd man out. Going to a predominantly white high-school and being the "token" Black Guy having to listen to bad jokes all through high school. See white folks can't only not dance, they can't tell good jokes while trying to impress their one black friends. Its shameful really.



All of that led him to find a way to get away, to ignore the things around him and it led him to his true love: MUSIC. Jacob's love for music started real young, the first time he heard the miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Ready to Die albums. He knew at the very least music would be a big part of his life from here on out.


His other love, sports - particularly football, also played a major role in growing up. It was football and music, music and football. If he wasn't doing one, he was doing the other.


A naturally gifted athlete, Jacob earned a football scholarship to play football at Texas A&M. Most people being raised on the east side would have loved a full ride to a major university playing football, but AlphaTvylore's heart just wasn't in the game as much as it was into music. Rapping, Producing, Making beats, you name it, he wanted to do it all.


That's the thing about Jacob, he is a very driven individual who did what all of us dream of, and will hopefully will do one day. He followed his heart. He gave up an easy life, living the college dream, playing D1 football, snow bunnies, free tuition, playing alongside Johnny Football (although unknown at the time) to pursue his true passion in life: MAKING MUSIC.


That is where he is at now. Living in not too shabby Los Angeles focusing strictly on making music, producing music, and changing music. Staying up all night in studio, not even knowing when the sun rises and falls, giving his everything into the music he is making. He truly fits the motto "when you wanna succeed as bad as you wanna breath, that's when you will become successful"


Just 20 years old, Jacob turned down a deal with Interscope a few weeks back to remain unsigned in hopes of doing it on his own and making his own path, not following in the footsteps of others. Do yourself a favor and listen to this young man's tracks, I promise you will hear from him again and again, and you will want to say 'I know of AlphaTvylore before he was famous'

Check out some of the music!!

"SPOT"Light Embassy Boardshop

This weeks "SPOT"Light is Embassy Boardshop located on 3347 N. High Street Columbus, OH 43202.
Embassy has been in business since 2006, providing the Columbus area with great apparel and skate accessories. I personally am a fan of the shop because of its Nike SB and HUF selection. I'm not a skateboarder but I do enjoy the culture itself, so its laid back feel and cool vibe makes non-skaters feel comfortable to shop and maybe learn a thing or two about the culture you may not have known about otherwise. So if you are ever in Columbus, OH and need to pick up some gear head over to Embassy Boardshop or hit the website to check out new gear coming in everyday. Embassy Boardshop
