For the second video release from The World Famous Tony Williams’ upcoming solo album, he enlists his long time writing partner and co-collaborator, Ron “Kat” Spearman to concoct the funk ballad #1 Fan. Spearman, a P-Funk All Star alumnus spent several years touring with the God Father of Funk, George Clinton, as a guitarist, bassist and vocalist. For the last few years (with George’s blessing), Spearman has dedicated his craft and time to his own band, Katdelic, a Bay Area favorite known for their sold out shows. Embodying the essence of being an eclectic project, Williams uses #1 Fan to educate his audience and communicate that breakups don’t have to equal bitterness. The song veers slightly to the other side of the road from the first single, Money which features Pharohe Monch, a bluesy rock inspired banger that also served as the lead off number for his June release, The 7th Day. ​ My new sound is my old sound, and Ronkat and I went to school together on this funk stuff a long time ago”- TWFTW The complete title of the album is a mouthful… The World Famous Tony Williams: TO GAIN THE WORLD, King or The Fool (an opera) Volume II is the sequel to his 2012 release King or the Fool (an opera) Volume I. The release date for the 12 track and 9 skit album is set for January 2018 and includes credits from Spearman, Marsha Ambrosius and more. https://www.google.com/sorry/index?continue=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmBx92WZqZ0&q=EgQ2uICCGPCGg_kFIhkA8aeDS1mZGzgqyz1dv1VQeEqFAaklPxdtMgFy

Independent hip-hop heavyweight, Chris Webby looks to shed his party rapper image to become known for what he’s truly always been; an accomplished businessman and lyricist. In an effort to do so webby has decided to drop a brand new album today entitled “Wednesday”. The project itself is a compilation of music he released in 2017, along with a few new unreleased tracks, to create the tracklist webby used analytics from his supporters, using their responses, to depict the direction of the project essentially allowing them to become the official A&R’s. Appearances from artist like Rittz, Justina Valentine, Anoyd, Jitta on the track, merkrules, madi wolf, skrizzly Adams and so on have also become very instrumental in constructing the direction of the project, with each track assisting in showcasing a new and improved version of Chris both musically and mentally. While it is true Chris Webby once had a stigma of only caring and rapping about women, parties, and drugs, he’s since become politically active and socially responsible, and has recently joined forces with the non-profit “1% for the planet”, which will see to it that a piece of his yearly earnings is donated to environmental causes. He’s also ramped up the usage of his platform to call out the flaws in modern day society, from the rise of mumble rappers to the morally corrupt politicians who run the country. However, as he’s changed so has his surroundings, deciding in 2016 to split from his management team of almost 5 years. Starting the beginning of 2017 with an entirely new team, this abrupt change left him in a bit of disarray: saying quote “I was depressed and wondered if my almost ten years of hard work in the industry were for nothing. I felt completely lost,” but then I remembered two things. first off, I have you … I still had a ride or die fan base that believed in me. and secondly, I can rap. better than most.” Chris pushed through the challenges of the change in management and in March of 2017 launched his #webbywednesday series. where each Wednesday, he releases a new song or video. this year alone, he has released twenty-five songs and ten videos which birthed the release of his second album “Wednesday”. on the recent album, webby demonstrates his diverse style paired with witty east coast punchlines and melodic reggae influences. From the start of 2017, #webbywednesday songs have amassed over thirty million streams within the past ten months and continue to surge. His monthly listeners continuously increasing to over six hundred thousand on Spotify. as well as his average streams rising from fifty-two thousand to over one hundred thousand a day. ​ ​ With his new found success Chris webby has put his social life on hold, focusing only on the music and business. saying quote “what you’ll hear on Wednesday is only the beginning of webby 2.0,” in his letter to the fans. He notes“ I finally feel like I’m becoming the musician, businessman, and human being I was always meant to be. thank you all for accompanying me on this bumpy ride, I honestly couldn’t have done it without you. and trust me, the best is still yet to come.”

It was a hit last year and now fans get a whole new 9 songs to jam to as they unwrap presents and celebrate with holiday cheer. Its been a long 2017, but this makes the end of this year that much sweeter. Santa to Chicago a lil early this year and we ain’t mad one bit. ​ ​

In his lyrics, Ash speaks on the real ones that have held him down out the gate and have never switched up on him: “This record means a lot to me because I went through some hard times recently and if it wasn’t for my real ones, I wouldn’t be the man I am today. I wouldn’t be as strong as I am today. And I wouldn’t be here today. And I want to dedicate this song to anybody that has been a real one for somebody else. Who’s a ride or die for their friends.” Check out the audio for Ash the Insomniac’s “Real Ones” out NOW! And make sure to stay tuned and prepare for Ash’s upcoming project. “Real Ones” Spotify.
