In the constant search for the next big thing or new sound in the music world, Hip-Hop, the essential art has remain pure even in the shadowing of the "Rap" and Pop charts. As being a part of the youth today, one cannot help but to be disappointed in the direction Hip-Hop music is headed in. Instead of waiting for the next leader to lead the way for the next generation of musicians, we have to lead for ourselves in make real Hip-Hop in the way we want it portrayed and bring it to the masses for all to hear and witness the realness of Hip-Hop and Urban Music.
Frontline Music Group… Frontline Music is the expression inspired by the idea of being on the frontline of the music war and leading this MOVEMENT (of urban music). Frontline Music consists of a talented, blessed, well-rounded group of young artist seeking to become the future of urban music by expressing themselves through their music.
Frontline Music formed and started progressing in the year of late 05' into 06'. Currently ran by two of it’s main artists, Devin “Young Flash” Jones & Alvin “Youngsta” Johnson, both residing in the Windsor Mill area of Baltimore, MD and current seniors in high school. While focusing on our education we performed at many showcases, churches, block parties, and anywhere else we were allowed to pick up a microphone and have our voices heard .We also take the time out to perform at popular, legendary local venues and clubs such as 5 seasons and Sonar as we perfect our crafts, on stage and in the studio.
Linking up with other young local artist such as Keenon “Keen” Richardson (former frontline member, now sign to L.L.F. records), S.P., and Bizzy released a compilation mixtape of all of these artists (including himself) titled "Frontline Authorized". Now with major mixtape releases from Young Flash and Youngsta both a having a strong positive feedback we feel as though its our time, we ARE the next generation, it’s a lot of people who forgot what real hip-hop is; therefore it will be US who reminds them.
Frontline Music Presents: The Voice (Young Flash)(2006)
Hello how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished producing a yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Capturing the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
I have attached a mini player for you to listen to a sample of the album so just press play to get away from this mad world we are living in.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
Please let me know what you think of it, I look forward to your reply.
