The Band of the Hawk continues their lyrical onslaught with another full length project. A DIFFERENT CLOTH, featuring co-founder and lead lyricist Yeaux Majesty, showcases the B-sides and alt takes from his extensive catalog.

Previously known as “KING”, Yeaux Majesty is heavily featured on all The Band of the Hawk releases, but this is his first solo release under the new name. Tracks from side projects THE MASCHINE WARS and BOHUP make up the bulk of this project, giving fans a teaser before his next release of all new recordings, PRINCELY ROBES. His lyrics on tracks like “Chariots of Fire” and “Kundalini” make you listen twice, either in your mind or when you rewind. Soundscapes from Noah Archangel mix perfectly with every line, and the lyrical features take you back to the feeling of early BOHUP records. The outro, “Mornin Cigs”, is a previously unreleased joint and a foreshadowing of what’s to come when he drops PRINCELY ROBES later this month. After listening, you may want to go back and listen to the original The Band of the Hawk releases like KANGOL, BOHUP Vol.2 and THE LAST TEMPTATION. One undistracted listen to either and you will see why The Band of the Hawk and Yeaux Majesty are cut from a different cloth. #BOHUP

What is Love? is track 11 from Dejhare’s recently released album “Unbreakable”. What is Love? takes us back to basics, to the core values that define the meaning of love . What Is love? also reminds us to think twice about what we would do for love and what we expect from love.. While seeking for love, we so often settle for less than we know we deserve. Quite many of us find ourselves in relationships lacking in compassion, in understanding and in affection, but we are too busy to take time to pay attention to our love lives or too afraid to move on.

First love heartbreak is painful; first love heartbreak coupled with abuse is heart-wrenching. R&B singer/songwriter and Independent Music Award nominee Nikki Hayes knows it all too well, and in her latest release titled Stingray, she hopes to help others recognize the signs – specifically what’s known as “gaslighting” — a very powerful and dangerous tactic the abuser employs to create bewilderment, helplessness and confusion.
