Conversations With Lexi featuring Ja'Rahn Leveston

This is the first installment of Conversations with Lexi and I wanted to kick it off with Ja'Rahn. He's one of my favorite artist in the city, a really humble guy, and I enjoyed being able to introduce him to those of you who may not know who he is. Thanks to Oh James for making the interview possible and enjoy.

Marlee D- Tell Him

I dare you to tell me that this song isn't dope....the lyrics are real talk and I love the production. I just learned of this young lady today but I'm a fan already. She's from Washington D.C and she sings and raps. Check out more of her music at www.reverbnation.com/marleed...I'm sure you'll be a fan too

Yung Oki-Dr.Frankenstein

This song is bananas....from the minute it came on, my head was nodding. It features Jae Ace and Naykol...here it is...

Vonny Del Fresco-Gone

J-EA-For You

I like this song, it's got a nice vibe....he's got a nice flow and I'm gonna check out some more of his music. Check him out at InternationalEA.com and follow him @AllThingsJEA....

Taryn Mai

Talk about a girl that can sang....I love Taryn's voice. I had the pleasure of meeting here while we worked together and she sang at karaoke and nobody expected that powerful voice to come out of that little body. She writes her own music and I see her going far. She's really focused, ambitious, and has all the makings of a start. Check her out at reverbnation.com/tarynmychalmai to hear all her music. I think my favorite song is Overanalyzed but her version of Marvin's Room with Tony Cash is dope.....You can watch videos of hers at www.youtube.com/tarynmai and follow her @tarynmychalmai for some positivity

Night Shadowz

So my homie T makes music, he's apart of Black Vegaz and they are really dope. I like this song and you all might too...

Kooley High

A collective of 6 artists who met in college and formed H20 which turned into Kooley High. They make nice hip hop music that you can vibe and groove to. My homie Tone put me onto them and I will definitely be digging deeper into their music. They have and EP The Summer Sessions, 2 albums Eastern Standard Time and David Thompson. Out of all the songs I've heard my favorite so far is Somethin' Outta Nothin'....check enm out at www.kooleyhigh.com

Thee Tom Hardy

So I'm sitting here talking music with my Kinfolk and she asked if I heard of The Tom Hardy. I've read about him but I've actually never heard any of his music until now and it was so not what I expected. I came across a song called Off The Radar and it was pretty slick. I gotta listen to more of Thee Tom Hardy, he's got me interested....

No Church In A While

The homie Ja'Rahn Leveston has a new mixtape out...No Church In A While. Go download it at www.mixtapefactory.com. You can pop this mixtape in and let it play from start to finish. Every track is pretty dope, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the No Church In A While joint. You can expect an interview featuring the man himself coming your way very soon. It's no secret that I'm a fan of Ja'Rahn's music and this mixtape made me an even bigger one. I see Ja'Rahn going far in this music thing. So far he's been consistent and I always look forward to new music from him.

Helena Beat

I heard this song through my Kinfolk....It's Foster The People, the same people that bought you Pumped Up Kicks

SwitchBlades Live

The Lucky Third Entertainment Group and Lexi Trenee present to you a live performance of The SwitchBlades....you've heard of them before and I wanted you all to see them perform because it is an experience. These girls love what they do and it's an honor and a privilege to be working with them and I know you guys will be seeing more of them for sure....

Tonight Is The Night

I love this song and every other song I've heard by him...I wanna see him live.

Baby Drew

If you are from Milwaukee and you know the local rap scene then you definitely know who Baby Drew is....my dad has to know like every Baby Drew song ever made and I remember my brother used to play his music all the time when he was in high school and in his early 20's. His music is real and you know when it's a Baby Drew track. Nobody has a flow like him. I'm a always bump me some Baby Drew..... This right here is a classic and he went so hard....my brother is funny when he raps this song lol

JR Scalez

I first heard of this guy when I saw the #ScholarCypher....I listened to some of his music @ reverbnation.com/Scalez and he's got some hot shit. My favorite song that I heard of his is Everywhere We Go...ya'll know I'm a groover and this song has a nice one. Make sure you follow him on Twitter @JrScalez....here's Ur Gonna Love Me, another smooth track...

Paranormal Karaoke

I'm pretty sure The Cranberry Show is about to blow up and since they're my favorite artists in Milwaukee right now I can't do anything but support them and their movement. We need to get behind them because if we do, that'll be a really good look for Milwaukee. They are consistently good and I've yet to be disappointed by anything they've put out. Paranormal Karaoke has everything you expect from the guys....quality lyrics, comedy, and banging beats. My favorite song probably is A Groupie Ballad for now...it'll change. Here's Traffic Lights and Sail for you guys to enjoy....

Ray Nitti- The Long Road Home

I like this song....he got off and showed that his talents go well beyond Bow

Richie Rich-Closer To My Dreams

My friend Stan put me on to this guy and I like this song. You can follow him on Twitter @RichieRichTOS and follow him @ purepancakes.tumblr.com..........here's the song

Kal'L

This is gonna be for all my R&B lovers out there....smooth sound, nice voice, cool guy. He's won me over as a fan and hopefully you all will soon join me. Follow him on Twitter @TheOnlyKaLL and he's got a YouTube channel @youtube.com/TheOnlyKaLL and make sure you like him on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/TheOnlyKaLL. You can expect to hear a lot from this guy Kal'L in the near future..... Here's my favorite track of his featuring Qewl Miles And he can really sing

VIvaFidel

Talk about a positive role model for black males to look up to and you gotta mention this guy. He's one person in the city I look up to and look forward to doing some work with, in and out of music....you can keep up with him @ vivafidel.info and make sure you follow him on Twitter @vivafidel and subscribe to his YouTube channel @ youtube.com/user/vivafideltv
