TreyCa$h is one of South Carolina's best kept secrets. A true novice, only having taken rap serious since peak quarantine in 2020 but it's very apparent there is a lot of promise packed into the young, ambitious musician. Having early influences from the likes of Drake & Lil Wayne, his sound is very reminiscent of today's rappers such as Rylo Rodriguez, Rod Wave & NoCap, to name a few. The perfect fusion between harmonizing and brilliant, meaningful bars. Even though being soft-spoken & introverted are some of his character traits, Ca$h is very confident in his abilities and ready to show listeners he is the real deal. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thenoviceprinciples/support

Raised in Mississippi and now residing in Atlanta, DaQuashia is an emerging musician with a voice that is filled with so much soul. If there are three words I would use to describe her music, they would be soulful, radiant & alluring. When she sings, you can feel the passion behind every lyric. There's no secret that R&B as a genre has recently transitioned to a more “Trap Soul” era but even so, DaQuashia has been able to gain traction with songs like ‘Unconditional Love' that highlight the timeless R&B feeling listeners love so much. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thenoviceprinciples/support

I had an opportunity to sit down and speak with Park3r on his home turf, Plugged-In Studios, which is located on the westside of Atlanta. We had roughly a 20-minute conversation but in that time, I learned a lot about a man on a mission. He opened up about his beginnings, the assistance of his mentors, his working relationship with the emerging talent Kali and a range of topics centered around him as a rising producer. He's gaining a lot of traction in the industry and is currently being sought by a few labels. Even with the attention, the achieving musician knows there's more work to be done. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thenoviceprinciples/support
