Shenseea Teams With Captain Morgan and Vita Coco for Tropical Takeover Tour

by Chris K. Singh July 4, 2023
written by Chris K. Singh


6-28-23- As we are midway through the wild ride we call an NYC summer, things have been ramping up as of recently and really taking on a life of its own.Β 

Β Β One event in particular in reference would be the Tropical Takeover Tour- sponsored by Vita Coco and Captain Morgan and Headlined by current worldwide sensation Chinsea Linda Lee otherwise known as Shenseea.Β 

Β Β From the doors, those who had the pleasure of attending were immediately greeted with an island vibe that could not be described.Β 

Β Β As you enter, the plants and lights that greet you seem as they are growing through the ceiling.Β 

Β Β From drinks to food- Captain Morgan and Vita Coco did not miss a beat. The drinks were based on the tropical theme and it seemed as if everyone was drinking the Jamaican Rum Punch as the distinctive red liquid seemed to be in everyone’s cup.Β 

Β Β As if the drinks weren’t enough, the food had those in attendance in a frenzy as people were lined up all throughout the venue.Β 

Β Β By the Shenseea hit the stage- fans were more than ready.Β 

Β Β As the lights dimmed, you heard her distinctive voice before you saw her. And upon arrival Shenseea did not disappoint.Β 

Β Β The energy was electric from the beginning, as Shenseea did everything from free-styling to performing her biggest hits.Β 

Β Β From the critically acclaimed β€œLighters” to her newest single β€œCurious”- fans were not starved for much, as she did not disappoint in any fashion.

Β Β One of the more notable things was how Shenseea went out of her way to uplift all the women in attendance, reminding them the importance of an independent mindset.Β 

Β Β The highlight of the night was the dancing contest that Shenseea chose to host on stage.

Β Β Three contestants had the opportunity to not only dance with Shenseea but the winner actually performed her closing song with her.Β 

Β Β As the concert came to a close, it was clear that the bond Shenseea was developing with her fans might still be growing, but is extremely strong.Β

Bronx Artist to Watch: Gudda Babby

by Lenique Vincent July 4, 2023
written by Lenique Vincent

With household names such as Cardi B, J Lo, French Montana, Swizz Beats and the legendary Notorious B.I.G; it’s safe to say the Bronx, New York is responsible for some of the most influential musical artists. Sharing the same birthplace as Hip-Hop may have greatly shaped the many musical talents that continuously emerge from the β€œboogie down” Bronx; which is the case of up and coming rapper GuddaBabby who credits the nitty gritty borough for fueling his craft.

Taking influences from Notorious B.I.G, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Drake and more; GuddaBaby released his first studio record β€œMhtl” on December 22,2020. Since, the Bronx native locked into the studio to record his latest project, β€œLife is Beautiful.” The Knocktural was able to conduct an interview via email with GuddaBabby, to get some insight to the story behind the artist.

Q: What’s the story behind your stage name?

A: GuddaBabyy steams from the slang, β€œGutter Child.” Growing up I spent a lot of time in the streets, or in slum areas. Growing up in a low economic station I kind of adapted to the lifestyle that came with it. However, as I got older, I started to lean towards the more positive things in life. I could never forget where I Came from . I’ll forever be a GuddaBabyy.

Q: When did you start making music?

A: I started making music around 2015 during high school, however, I never took it as seriously as I do now until around late 2019. Once my first studio recorded track β€œMhtl” hit all platforms, I just kind of took off from there .

Q: Tell me about your latest project? How did it come about? What’s the main message behind it?

A: β€œLife is beautiful,” my first studio project released on March 20, 2023. It was inspired by the events that took place within the three months of me actually focusing on my craft.I took about three months to actually focus, plan and execute the mission no matter what was going on in my life. Three months of dedication opened doors for me I never thought I’d walk into.Β This project was everything I felt, went through and did within that time span and I just wanted to share it with everyone.

Q: Drill is so popular right now, how do you keep your sound and image unique?

A: With the drill scene taking over mass majority of the industry, I do my best to stay versatile and have unique schemes, punchlines, metaphors, and sounds. As far as my image goes, I like to keep it calm, clean and not too extra.

Q: How do you hope your music will contribute to the NYC music scene?

A: I wouldn’t consider myself a Drill artist, however,Β I hope my music can contribute to the NYC drill scene to inspire, uplift, motivate and relate to my supporters. I pursue music to let everyone know: no matter who you are, you can do whatever you want. You just have apply the pressure and don’t ever quit!

Supporters can stream Gudda Babby on Apple Music and YouTube! He will also be releasing a single titled, β€œDon’t Know,” on his birthday July 6.
