The competition in the music industry is becoming more and more aggressive because people are looking for fresher tunes and more relaxed vibes. Not to mention that people are now looking for music that fits their mood and lifestyle. Mont3ga is a rising star set to catch everyone’s ears and hearts through his fresh and unique music. 

Mont3ga is becoming the new talk of the town in New York City, the birthplace of many stars in the industry who rise to high levels of success. Today a new star, Mont3ga, has been catching everyone’s attention at a rapid pace.

“When I was young, my mother used to make music,” recalls the artist. “She had me in the Stu at a young age, so I grew up seeing my favorite artists like Lil Wayne, French Montana, and Chief Keef do their thing only fueled me more. Also, being from where I am from, Harlem, New York, it isn’t easy making it out.”

Mont3ga is also known as The Harlem Villain, a.k.a. Tha Popular Loner, one of the best rappers alive today. He believes that he is not the kind of artist this industry has seen before. On top of his unique and fresh music, his challenges and stories make him an artist that stands out from the rest. 

As Mont3ga’s music insanely attracts more and more people, he believes that his kind of music is not limited to a specific group of people only. Instead, he is looking forward to attracting people who know how to appreciate excellent music or music lovers who are open to listening to different kinds of genres.

The rising star takes pride in his youthful and vibrant energy. He believes that this energy is channeled to his craft, turning into a contagious feeling for everyone who listens to his music. He wants people to get to know him through his unique music and, along the way, gain new fans and grow with them through his music.

“I’m one of those guys whose energy is always going to speak for itself,” says the passionate rising artist. “I’m so confident in my artistry that other people will gravitate towards it naturally because you just can’t ignore good music. And that is what I have, with having my sound, I know I stand out.”

Mont3ga has a unique source of motivation and inspiration in creating his brand of music. It is not new that artists receive hate from different kinds of people, but it is the hate that he gets from the people he loves. 

“Ever felt like you had to be protected from the people you love that don’t love you the same way? Well, I go through a lot of that, and that’s what drives me. Something in me loves to prove people wrong. So let’s just say ever since I chose music as my career, I have been proving people wrong, and I got more of that to do,” says the gritty artist. 

In the next five years, the rising artist sees himself selling out arenas all over the world. Though some may say that’s far-fetched, the artist believes not for him. He firmly believes that it’s in his hands, and his energy will make that happen.

Music is powerful. For centuries, it has been used to entertain, influence, inspire, and evoke emotions. The powerful effects of music still exist to date and have spurred many musical talents to take up the mantle of welding that power to make the world better. Brian Moragne, also known as Papi Versace, is one of those talents and has laid out a sequence of events to make his music seep through all the cracks and holes in the world and close them up.

Papi Versace is from Atlantic City, New Jersey, and he grew up listening to music from Hispanic, Brazilian, and African cultures, which shaped his musical style and sound. Even though he nursed the desire to become a musician, he didn’t take it seriously as a career until his 19th birthday, and since then, he’s been on a roll with it.

Papi Versace’s sound heavily relies on energy, and he always aims to radiate energy that is powerful enough to move his audience by carefully putting his lyrics and other musical elements together. Every song he released was made with the intention of making the listener feel some type of emotion and get them hooked to his style of music. His motivation to create music comes from his desire to become a powerful, influential figure to millions of people globally.

“I recognize the power of music and the responsibility that comes with having that power. So I want to acquire it and put it to good use by releasing music powerful enough to influence people globally,” Papi Versace shared. He believes the effect good music has on him can be replicated worldwide, and he has gotten in the driving seat to achieve that by creating music people can connect with.

Before music, Papi Versace sold pest control products door to door in Houston, Texas, but music took him off everything else to fulfill his dreams of impacting the world positively. He draws inspiration from iconic artists like Michael Jackson, Drake, Chris Brown and Asher and hopes to see his album or single hit the number one spot on national and global charts. He already has an album out and is currently working on a second album Visions II slated for release in March. He released the single “Commitment” on December 32, 2021, which he’s currently promoting and hopes people globally discover soon.

“The record is an R&B record that I enjoyed creating and is one of my favorite songs to make. I wanted to create something different from the typical club or twerk songs that people were used to. I hope people enjoy the tempo of this song,” he said.

Outside music, Papi Versace is an avid lover of photography and videography. He enjoys capturing moments and saving them for memory purposes. Alongside his music career, he puts in work to maintain personal relationships with his loved ones and relevant people in the music industry. One of his songs, “Vince Carter,” already amassed 100,000 streams on SoundCloud, and he looks forward to smashing more landmark records like that.

As he continues to work on his upcoming album, he hopes to connect with as many people as possible who have discovered his first album and gotten an idea of his talents and abilities.

Gus Edwards first rose to prominence as an athlete, more specifically as a running back for the Baltimore Ravens. However, aside from being a gifted football player, the young man also has many other layers and talents. In the past couple of years, he has pursued yet another one of his passions—music.

As an artist, he is making waves in the hip-hop scene for his impressive tracks and singles. The decision to start a music career may have come as quite a surprise to some, but music always has a special place in his heart. 

As he insightfully shared, “I’ve always known I wanted to pursue a music career, but l didn’t always have the time to focus on that aspect of my life. When the pandemic started and the whole world was forced to stop their usual routines, I took the opportunity to spend time getting back into my music.”

On top of that, he considers music to be therapeutic. The creative individual uses it as an outlet to express his thoughts and as a way to relate with others. So naturally, this motivated him to get started in the business even more. 

Going by the artist name Gusto, he has since released several hit tracks such as “No Average,” “Pray For Me,” “New Drop,” and “Mona Lisa.” These extraordinary songs are all shaped and inspired by his life experiences and learnings. This also allows the musician to connect with his audience profoundly.

In addition, he recently dropped his latest single, “Frozen Heart,” featuring Zayzayy, which is part of the duo’s upcoming project. Explaining the meaning behind the track, the talented individual said, “The song is about how different life experiences can make your heart turn cold: betrayal, losing love, death, all the things we go through that can change you us in ways for the worse.”

Not only does the track show his immense skills as a songwriter, but it also showcases his growth as an artist. He optimistically shared, “I hope my fans really see my development as an artist in this song and can have a song to relate to.”

Even though it has only been a few days since its release, “Frozen Heart” has already impressed fans and listeners. In fact, many have left positive reviews and comments on the song’s official video on YouTube.

The exceptional young man is incredibly flattered by the encouragement he constantly receives, and he uses them as motivation to keep creating relatable songs. He proudly explained, “Seeing the support I get from people who like my music, and seeing their reactions to how they feel when they play my songs have been my proudest moments so far. Those feelings are priceless.”

Gusto has impressively shown his prowess as a musician in just a short span and established himself as one of the most promising hip-hop artists. Moving forward, he aims to continue scaling his success. Fans and music enthusiasts alike should be on the lookout as he has a lot of exciting plans prepared for the future.
