[NEW MUSIC] LI LI NICOLS - "PULL UP" | @LiLiNicols

Hip-Hop Artist Li Li Nicols delivers her latest single "Pull Up" featuring Juug

Born in New Orleans, LA, Li Li Nicols immediately shows an interest in music and entrepreneurship. At the age of 7, she's inspired by the artist Alicia Keys and asks for a keyboard. “I was captivated by her beauty, music and loved that we shared the same name.” Although artists like Alicia Keys, Jay Z, and Kanye West influenced her passion for music and the industry, Nicols father's ambition instilled values of hard work and developed this love for music. Growing up, she experiences music of all genres and generations like The Temptations, The O'Jays, Michael Jackson, Mary Mary, Biggie, Hall & Oates, etc. 

At the age of 19, Li Li generates over 200k views and a consistent audience to her site "Live Li Li." Additionally, she managed several local artists, getting them opportunities to open for major artists. At the age of 21, she begins freelance writing for a plethora of blog sites and urban magazines including Society 19, Blasting News, and Hype Magazine. In 2016, she moved to Los Angeles after releasing a small EP which gave her a small music buzz, and shortly after began working as an intern for a boutique public relations firm called FYI. This position helped to establish a solid foundation in the Los Angeles music scene. 

Experiencing several trials and tribulations in her adult life, Li Li rediscovered her passion for music and decided to create more songs. Her single Black Diemen that featured Liberian Atlanta artist Wrebel put her back in front of the world after a four-year hiatus. This time, she presents her latest single "Pull Up." This song is a fun, catchy, and vibrant one that is relatable to audiences that enjoy partying. The hook is meant to focus on a phrase that we often use to have fun and get together. The song production is by an Atlanta producer named Snook Nazty.

It allowed me to engage with my 4-year old son when I came home in a fun and positive way. I hope fans take away from this that I am Brooklyn Batman and my job is to motivate people through music and share how I overcame my own many struggles. Growing up in foster care, not being wanted, getting wrapped up in the system were all obstacles to me. However, a seed was planted and it grew out of concrete for me.

[Music] Micah Willis - "Forget" | @iammicahwillis

Sensational R&B singer and songwriter Micah Willis drops a brand new R&B single titled "Forget." "Forget" is a moderate tempo elevating R&B track with lyrics and theme leaning towards dance and "having a good time." "Forget" is a "feel-good" song somewhat written in response to the most recent world upsets and crises - especially the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020. According to Micah Willis, “Forget,” just as the song title suggests, is about “forgetting all the terrible times we had in 2020.” Micah believes it is time everyone goes out to have fun. Instrumentally, “Forget” is rooted in very solid R&B influences as it also taps some minor [but not insignificant] elements from genres like rap, trap, soul, and blues. The tranquilizing, fluid, and subtle piano harmonies/melodies meddled with rudimentary but thumping R&B drum grooves, trap percussions, cinematic sound effects, 808s, and the sensuous vocals of Micah Willis create not just an elevating atmosphere but also quite a calming and reassuring one. Willis as a musician is known to always push musical and overall creative boundaries in his compositions and writing. With a voice as soothing as water, Willis passes for both an R&B story-teller and a therapeutic singer. Talking about therapy, “therapeutic” is another perfect word to describe the single “Forget.” With naturally fluid and melismatic vocals, Willis manages to bring together influences from diverse and “not-exactly related” musical styles and genres to create a unique blend of a familiar genre like R&B - a special R&B blend typical of only Micah Willis. “Forget” is available on all music streaming platforms. You can also follow Micah Willis on all social media platforms to keep up with his ever-dynamic lifestyle.
