This October Art Nation Gallery will be exhibiting works form Marko Stout most recent series and a sampling of his early at their Times Square Gallery, kicking off with a VIP and collectors preview party on October 23rd. The exhibit will then open to the public on the following day. But, for those wishing to avoid the large crowds and long lines there is a preview showing of Marko Stout’s works that the Rivington SoHo Gallery on the Lower East Side of NYC that will run 08/31/6 thru 09/04/16.
Stout is currently one of New York’s hottest artists and continues to gain the attention of numerous collectors with his works selling for rapidly increasing amounts- at last spring’s annual Art Expo Show in New York City a Berlin collector and nightclub owner reportedly purchased a pair of Stout’s large figurative sculptures for $160,000. This was the largest sale at the Art Expo show this year.
His work is often classified as “industrial pop”, with many comparing his rise in the art word to that of other New York artists, Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. His cool sexy style seems to resonate with his large following of younger millennial fans and yet maintains it interesting gritty edge.

During the Hip Hop Honors show last night on VH1, Rich Homie Quan forgets the words to the classic Notorious Big Verse in “Get Money”. It seemed like Lil Kim was thrown off as well.

Dockko born Donnell Tucker comes from a long line of hard workers and thus he is the product of hard work. He works hard on his craft and is self-taught to play the piano, drums, and bass guitar. Dockko produces his own beats and handles his own engineering. Dockko grew up rapping and his family is supportive of his career. Dockko was raised by his grandparents who taught him about the importance of morals and ethics to have common sense which has brought him a long way in life. Dockko started making music at the age of ten as he started to play music on glass cups filled with various levels of water which made different unique sounds. Those various sounds stuck with Dockko as years later he became a producer to turn those sounds into music as his dream and vision come to life with his talents. Adding his voice to his music productions took things to the next level as Dockko realized his rapping ability and he immediately began recording vocals to more and more of his productions to receive great positive feedback. This lead to Dockko's motto "Hear my vision."
Dockko began networking and came into contact with the founder/owner of Zobe, Alonzo Black, who saw the potential in this talented individual and who signed Dockko to an Exclusive deal with independent-major label Zobe Records. Dockko immediately began enhancing his artist development with Zobe and has been increasing his exposure, promotions, marketing, booking, fan base, and his image. Currently Dockko is working towards becoming successful music artist, producer, performer, and writer in the industry while continuing to learn as much as he can about his craft. Dockko is currently promoting his new single "One Night" and he is building up to the release of his debut album "#TheRealDockko".

Zobe Records adds well-established singer-songwriter from Atlanta, GA to the roster of their indie-major label!
Zobe Records is building up their roster and the first to be
added for 2016 will be the well-established singer-songwriter Tejai
Moore.
Tejai Moore is an R&B/Pop vocalist and writer (of all genres) out of the Atlanta, Georgia area coming to a
stage, radio station, magazine, and TV near you after signing to Zobe
Records!
Tony
Edmond Jr., the singer-songwriter professionally known as Tejai Moore,
has penned one of the newest singles of one of London, UK's rising
stars, Curtis Moore. The single,"Lipstick" (featuring Scorcher),
impacted on major radio stations and TV networks in Europe as well
as USA and other countries. The record had reached #4 on the UK
Billboard charts (Urban Top 30 category). To begin 2015, Tejai Moore had
revealed that he is co-writer on new single of Cash Money Records/Rich
Gang RnB artist, Jacquees, entitled "One In A Million", due to Jacquees'
release of his highly anticipated project, QueMix2. Tejai Moore has
also had the opportunities to write music for artists such as Fifth
Harmony, Taylor Swift, Rough Copy, Ronja Hilbig (of the European Pop
group Queensberry), and more. At this point, Tejai Moore is becoming a
prolific songwriter in the industry all while continuing to focus on his
career as an artist as well. Before opportunities like these
became more than a dream, Tony Edmond Jr. was born on July 20, 1986 in
Miami, Florida, grew up all over the world from overseas back to the
United States, and due to being a “military brat” (mother and father
served many years in the U.S. Army), went to elementary, graduated high
school, and began strong musical aspirations in Germany. Due to
in-taking and being exposed to several different cultures daily, Tejai’s
music and appeal has no choice but to display unique personality with
one’s listen.
Tejai Moore was introduced to the music industry
first as “Lil T” in a frostbitten 2002 winter of Germany. Fast forward
to early 2007 in Munich, Germany, Tejai and musical partner, at the
time, BamaBoy (of their group YK), had the opportunity to share the
stage with former group members of B2k and BadBoy Records Recording
artist Loon along with other accomplishments. Tejai has since then
performed/opened along-side Jagged Edge, B.o.B, Machine Gun Kelly, Swazy
Baby, Sean Kingston, Trina, Young Dro, Travis Porter, Roscoe Dash, DJ
Unk, J-Dash, Verse Simmonds, GS Boyz, & More.
Once
relocated back to America to pursue musical career In 2007, Tejai had
the opportunities to work on records with major artists like Jagged Edge
as well as major producers like KE on the Track, which created an
authentic Tejai Moore (then known as T. Plezya) sound and image. At the
end of 2007 he was signed under the GS Boyz, most known for their songs
"Stanky Legg" & "Booty Dew", who were at the time signed to Yung
Joc's Swagg Team label imprint {under Bad Boy Records). The GS Boyz
group soon went their separate ways which also severed Tejai Moore’s
contract before he received his "shot" at televised success.
Reflecting on the year 2015 going into 2016 and the rapid change of the
world's economies, Tejai Moore is destined to bring an equal change to
R&B and Pop music in general. Focusing simultaneously on progressing
as a major songwriter in the music industry as well as major artist,
Tejai has his hands full with juggling the two but is working hard to
make his mark every day of his life. Tejai Moore through
networking, came into contact with a Zobe Records A&R who saw the
potential in this artist and decided to introduce him to the owner of
Zobe who signed Tejai Moore to a deal with
independent-major label Zobe Records. Tejai Moore immediately began
enhancing his artist development with Zobe and has been increasing his
exposure, promotions, marketing, booking, fan base, and his image.
Currently Tejai Moore is working towards becoming successful music
artists, performer, and writer in the industry while continuing to learn
as much as he can about his craft. Tejai Moore is currently promoting
his previously released music and preparing to distribute world-wide a new single, producing his
new EP, and developing his new album that will be released under Zobe
Records along with a few music videos so look out for this outstanding
artist who will be featured in Zobe Magazine and on Zobe TV Network as
well. Tejai Moore is a seasoned writer and music artist who has a nice
buzz within the industry with a lot of eyes on him, and he is ready to
take his music career to the new heights with Zobe Records in his
corner!

A week ago, Shy Glizzy tried tweeting about his chain being snatched but now he’s addressing the situation in a new song, “Cut It (Remix).” The Washington D.C. rapper was scrutinized after video footage of Memphis rapper Big Mota and his crew showing off Shy Glizzy’s chain flooded social media. Shy Glizzy attempted to set the record straight on Twitter but then chose to talk about it in a song to really express himself. It is a 4-minute song that begins with a piece of an interview with Big Mota in which he talks about wanting to work with the “Awesome" rapper. Then you hear a piece of the video that was posted by the chain snatchers. In this song, Shy Glizzy explains that he was two deep when the incident occurred and describes how Big Mota and his camp are a bunch of haters and will get whats coming to them. He also includes a message for those who have something to say about him online. Shy Glizzy even takes shots at DJ Akademiks, who had something to say about the incident on social media. Shy Glizzy explains that his chain fell off his neck and when it hit the ground "broke boys had a f*cking scrimmage." The Memphis rapper Big Mota posted a now-deleted clip on Instagram explaining why he took Shy Glizzy's chain. Big Mota stated that Shy Glizzy declined to collaborate on a song and that he wanted $50,000 for the chain to be returned. Check out the audio below... listen to this track and tell us what you think...
