Scar Mega - "F Quarantine" Ft Dave East

Today rapper Scar Mega delivers his new single with New York staple, Dave East titled, "F Quarantine." Connecting the Bronx and Harlem on one track, Scar Mega gives fans some much appreciated entertainment amidst a worldwide shutdown with one of New York's dopest rappers out now in Dave East. 

Emerging from the gritty streets of the Bronx, where Story Ave and Rosedale meet at the Monroe Projects, Scar Mega has found a way to rise to the top amidst a saturated market of lyricists and an unforgiving environment. In the Bronx, the birthplace of Hip-Hop, you can't just rap about anything. According to Scar Mega, you had to be crafty and lyrical with your music or else you weren't getting heard. 

"The scene in the Bronx is saturated with lyricists,"Scar Mega explained.  "How I came up you had to be credited with what you spoke about, you had to be lyrical and you wanted to be crafty with the word play."

Despite a COVID-19 shutdown, Scar Mega is confident in his plans for 2020, 2021 and beyond. There's no question, Scar Mega has the city in his crosshairs as he takes aim at the game with a slew of new content. Accompanied by industry insider and radio marketing guru Smit BDM, Scar Mega has been pointed in the right direction as he continues to gain attention and accolades along the way to gaining wider recognition. 

"Pay attention I'm coming full force with a bunch of new music the rest of 2020 and all 2021, the city’s going to be mine. They are already playing me on Shade 45 with DJ Kay Slay Street Sweeper and on HOT97's Drama hour. I'm up next." Scar Mega proclaimed 

Detroit Femcee Mena Mahone Stands Up Against Domestic Violence with "Keep It Moving" Single; Speaks on Bully Boys Crew And Riding With Boldy James

Recently female Detroit rapper, Mena Mahone, released the audio to her new song, “Keep It Moving” ft JRich and produced by Killa Smuv. Putting on for the 313 like few female emcees ever have, her song is a domestic violence awareness song and looks to spread truth about domestic abuse in America, while providing hope for those that are trapped in an abusive relationship.

While the song is a domestic violence awareness song, don’t sleep on the bars that Mena Mahone has on this song or any of her other recent singles like “Workin.”

“This video is about domestic violence and as a survivor of domestic violence, I want you to know that you too can overcome domestic violence. We are bringing awareness to this issue, whether they grew up with it or they are in a relationship of domestic violence. We are letting people know that this is a problem and that it is a problem that nobody is talking about.  Thankfully Hot 107.5, a Detroit Hip-Hop radio station, stepped up and they are supporting the Keeping It Moving record. We want to help domestic violence victims overcome anything that are going through trying to get out of that bad relationship” Mena Mahone said.

While many people are rightfully raising awareness to police brutality, Black Lives Matter and COVID-19, Mena Mahone doesn’t want people to forget about how domestic violence is also plaguing our communities as well. 

“Its saying whether you are in a domestic violence relationship or you have  a friend, family or whatever that is trapped in one, this is not what defines you as a person – Keep it Moving. You are better than that, you are a survivor, just because we make mistakes doesn’t mean we have to live through those mistakes for the rest of our life,” Mena Mahone explained. 

Mena Mahone also spoke about her crew the Bully Boys and her friendship with the widely popular and rising rapper Boldy James who recently collaborated with Alchemist for what some people have been calling the album of the year. As the “First Lady of The Bully Boys,” Mena Mahone takes her role seriously and can keep up with the guys, bar for bar. 

“The Bully Boys is my crew, you feel me. You got me you got me, you got Boldy James, Fast Lane, Reddi Rock, JFox the Breadman, and of course me”,  Mena Mahone explained. “Boldy James is the homie – I’m down with him til the wheels fall off. He’s been on the road, he’s one of the hottest rappers out right now. He had just dropped his album with Alchemist so he’s making a lot of noise right now.”

Expanding on her sound and how it fits into the Detroit scene, Mena Mahone explained her sound and the purpose of her music. 

“Not a lot of people have the same sound as me and I don’t mean that in a bad way, but my sound is different, and there’s not a lot of people that sound like me.” Mena Mahone explained. “I got into music because it was an outlet to me to express my emotions. As far as making music I wanted to start making a positive impact in my community, so if someone is going through something in life hopefully people can put on my music and take something from it and learn and grow.”

That seems to be a theme throughout Mena Mahone’s music as she hopes to inspire her listeners whether they are homeless, domestic violence survivors or just the hard working Detroiters who wake up every day and punch the clock.

“The type of music I am making is inspirational. If you are homeless, suicidal or whatever, I want you to know you can put on my music and it’s going to inspire you. When you hear my music like the single Workin, the number one thing you gonna take from that is – let me get up and start Workin. This is about bars and all that, but we want to make a difference in people’s lives. If I can’t inspire anyone, then what am I doing? It’s never been about money, fame and clout. To me when someone comes up to me and tells me that I motivated them out of a situation or to go get a job, thats the kind of stuff that makes me happy about my music.”
