KULA VONCILLE is bringing BOOM BAP, TRADITIONAL hip hop BACK TO VA




          You remember legendary emcees such as Roxanne Shante, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, the late Ms. Melodie, Monie Love, The Lady of Rage, Jean Grae, Bahamadia, Da Brat, Remy Ma, Rah Digga, and Lauryn Hill?  What do all these talented lyricists have in common?  Not only are the individuals on this list exceptionally gifted hip hop recording artists, but they are also strong, intelligent, powerful and influential women that were also inspirational to a nation of young girls aspiring to follow in their professional foot steps.  In 2019 and beyond we have Kula Voncille, the daughter that was birthed from the mother of golden era hip hop.  While the game is now saturated with female recording artists that would rather sacrifice substance in favor of shock value. Nowadays we have more Barbees, Strippers and IG models picking up the mic to represent for the ladies instead of strong willed, powerful women with integrity giving hope and motivation to the next generation of girls, but with the rise of Kula Voncille, she has enough stage presence, lyrical skills, flair and substance to bring the art of "femceeing" back to it's glory days.
          Kula Voncille was born and raised in the heart of Richmond, VA and is the living embodiment of the state mantra "VA is for Lovers and Hustlers" (because Kula is most certainly both of course).  Kula Voncille AKA Kueen Kong has always been a student of hip hop, but graduated from the school of hard knocking hip hop emcees in 2014 the year she started her music career.  In that year Kula won the Soul Logistic Radio Gong Show Contest and opened for the legendary Slick Rick.
          Kula's musical influences include but certainly not limited to Eminem, Lauryn Hill, J. Cole, T.I. and Redman just to name a few.  There is no one word that can encompass everything Kula Von is as an emcee.  Kula is so versatile as a performer that it's hard to put her in a box and hard for the artist to even describe herself, when others ask her to define her style she kicks a verse a capella to show them rather than tell them!


Kula Voncille has performed at various prestigious venues in many cities in Virginia such as Ma Michele Cafe and Catering, Maple Bourbon, 
The Camel, The Top, VCUs International Contemporary Arts Building, 
The Well Art Gallery, The Beauty and Barber Fashion Show.  Kula Voncille has also performed at Fashion Shows in Atlanta, as well as industry parties and open mixes in New York and North Carolina. 


Awards
2014 1st place winner of The Souls Logistics Gong Show Contest
2017 1st place winner of the Music and Lyrics Competition. 
2018 RVA Music Awards Best Rapper and Best Lyricist

BOOM BAP ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Abdullah



Get familiar with hip hop recording artist Abdullah!  Abdullah is certainly a traditional hip hop recording artist with a golden era boom bap hip hop sound!  


Abdullah is also a devoted and dedicated father to his son Malik, as well as a soon-to-be college graduate from DeVry University, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems.  Abdullah is a person who is a freedom fighter for Black and oppressed peoples throughout the world. 

Abdullah is also an advocate for Black Nationalism, which simply means he cares for owning, controlling and policing the businesses, politics and society of the Black community. Abdullah also cares about the African continent and the development in which our brothers and sisters there should have a hand in, which makes him a staunch supporter of Pan Africanism. 

Abdullah believes in educating the Black masses properly on the truth of our history, and how we should apply it to his own existence in bettering black people as a whole. Abdullah values the hip-hop culture and takes it very seriously, and holds himself accountable as to what he says in his music and the impact it may have on people (particularly the young generation).

 Therefore, Abdullah is a positive, thought-provoking lyricist with an enlightened message to represent for the masses; while at the same time, staying true to himself and not becoming a sellout.  Adbullah will use his potential to the fullest, while providing the people with good music to listen to for both their soul and mind.

SwagSwitcha and his new single is ILL (Boom Bap Exclusive)




SwagSwitcha Bio
SwagSwitcha Double J.B The Platinum King, when you refer to one you refer to all. You may remember him originally as the Commander in Chief of the Mild Fleet. Since then he has retired that position and became the bridge between mainstream rap and Nerdcore. Unique from his look to his music, it will open the eyes of all who listen. His style and swagger is as good as his flow and lyrics, and he shines as bright as the0 jewelry he rocks. Nerdcore is his home, but his sound knows no boundaries just like his style has no limits. No matter what music he does, Nerdcore or not I will always stay true to his self and that is a GFL “Gamer for Life”. Hip hop is about expressing oneself and talking about what I know and your experiences. I grew up around drugs, sex and money and street life but lucky for him, he chose anime, video games, super heroes and the nerd life.


Check out the new single IM ILL from SwagSwitcha's  upcoming EP Kings Banner available late May. Follow SwagSwitcha and listen to the track on Spotify. You can also find the artist on Itunes. Shout out to the beat maker Behemoth Beats check him out on soundcloud. @behemoth_beats
