"5th Mixtape"
Many female artists struggle to establish their musical identity and are scared to have that ALL IN YOUR FACE attitude but still remain humble and respectful. Some female hip-hop artists refer to completely changing their image to obtain success. Suni MF Solomon fits in neither of those categories while her sound is something rap/hip-hop is missing! Parole Liquide says: “Rap and soul together create something original and not obvious, and the flow of Suni is remarkable!” making music to live to, laugh to, smoke to, reminisce to, and party to. Her new mixtape, “5th Tape Outchea”, which is set to drop mid June, Suni is definitely letting her ATLien come out in her own unique original way but still having some songs for EVERYBODY! Currently pushing “Incomplete Thoughts” she is still shooting visual for this mixtape.
A happy jumping 11 pound baby girl was born June 13, 1991 in Brockton, Massachusetts at home with a midwife. Quickly moving down south after birth Suni grew up on the Westside of Atlanta, Ga. Suni began showing interest in music at a young age, rapping in the mirror at 7 and playing the violin in middle school, but she didn’t get serious about music until her teenage years. She explains, “I was always involved in music through schools, I was chorus in elementary school but I always wanted to play an instrument, I got lucky in 7th grade when my school offered orchestra and provided the instruments.” Although being a rebel got her kicked out of her original high school, Suni changing schools was great for her music venture, her teenage years was when she found herself as an artist, “Before I got kicked out of Douglass I met my producer BobxWeave, but I was still timid about my music or even mentioning the fact that I did music to other people. Me changing schools was the best thing that happened to me I gained a new found confidence and developed & name and a buzz” High school was where Suni began calling going under “Suni MF Solomon” as her rap name, “High school was great because I developed my name, just began going to the studio and putting music out and that quickly got me a buzz amongst my peers.” Linking up with North Atlanta high school’s rap entourage SBi (Curtis Williams x FLYTASTiK x Key Dolo x Wade B), Suni began a great musical relationship with FLYTASTiK and ever since 2009 they have been making music together. “I met Fly when I went to North Atlanta, he has such a mature, cocky, but fly demeanor our personalities just clicked and our ideas were always dope when it came to music.” Shortly after linking with SBi Suni dropped her mixtape “Back to the Basics”, “I dropped my first mixtape and the whole school went crazy I felt good walking in the hallways.” “Greedmont Park a big blog in Atlanta got ahold of my tape & reviewed it before I even knew anything about submissions so that was a great feeling!”
Throughout the time of releasing her first mixtape “Back to the Basics” in 2009, Suni has released 3 more projects: “Suni With a Chance” in 2010, “MFmix” 2011, and “Incomplete Thoughts” in 2011. Suni’s name grew through and out the city of Atlanta while collaborating with artist such as: Purple Monkey Sircus, JaMEEL, De-Capo Music Group, The Born Genius, Kemelia Da’Vinci, FLYTASTiK, and many more. The pieces slowly began falling into place with her music career. From winning open mics at GSU and open mics most venues provide. Performing at legendary venues such as Apache Café. Teaming up with local artist and her longtime producer forming a team that goes by “CMFTBLVN” (Comfortable Livin’). In which they sponsored their own college tour, The Feet Up College Tour, touring UGA, HU, and ending in DC to perform at legendary venue Twins Jazz in DC. “Working with my team and being able to list my accomplishments throughout my dream chasing I feel very confident that God has a lot stored for me in the future, with a great following and fan base I will continue to drop new music to keep myself relevant and successful,” says Suni.
With the attention that “Incomplete Thoughts” caught from new fans and blogs Suni says she’s ready to give her fans new music and to expect new sounds, “On my new tape I want to touch some topics that no one has ever touched. I like to think outside the box and not sound like your typical song. Some beats I’ve had for a moment but haven’t touched because when I write I aim to give you that sound you never heard and speak on that thought you never spoke of.” “I’m in the studio recording everything piece by piece no rush because I want to make sure I have no regrets on anything I put out.” With BobxWeave producing his unique mellow sound & Suni MF getting features from her team CMFTBLVN & others we are positive the fans will not be disappointed by her performance on “5th Tape Outchea” but we all have to wait til it drops!

TMC: Introduce yourself.
Charm: Hello, My name is Charm aka Babygirl. I am a 17 year old female rapper from Decatur, GA.
Charm: I became interested in music through church and television via music videos, etc. My father was also an artist, and he was a big influence on my career as well.
TMC: What sets you apart from other artists? Charm: I am a female with lyrics number one (much needed in todays music industry)! I don't prefer to talk about materialistic things like many other rappers choose. I speak on all issues from the streets, politics, education, fun, sports, and male bashing(Just Kidding)!
TMC: What projects do you have planned for the near future? Charm: I will be releasing my new EP this fall which includes my singles, Poinsetta (over 15,000 views on youtube), Vibrate (Battle Grounds champion on Hot 107.9), and my new dance record titled "To the Top (Drop)".
The new era of music includes the likes of Scooter Smiff, Mindless Behavior, Diggy Simmons, and Jacob Latimore. But now, there is a new up and coming artist that’s about to take the freshman music group by storm! Her name is, “that’s right!” HER name is “CHARM”! Charm is a very talented young lady from the streets of Atlanta, Ga., the daughter of Yolanda and Keith Russell. Keith Russell, a convicted felon, was determined to see his daughter, Charm make better decisions on her personal journey to success. A former artist himself, Keith encourages Charm to work on her skills day in and day out. Yolanda Russell believes that Charm was a blessing from the skies since she was not expected to have any more children during the time of Charm’s conception. Yolanda stated, “A woman told me that she dreamed about Charm being surrounded by many people, some will hate her and most will love her.” This same woman was killed nearly two weeks later and her prediction has been on the mind of Yolanda Russell ever since. During the summer of 2011, Charm was introduced via Keith Russell, to “John Boy on Da Track,” a multi-platinum producer. John Boy was floored when he heard Charm’s skills for the first time ever in a recording studio. “It was so raw and natural”, said John Boy. “She has talents that can’t be taught!” A few months later, John Boy signed Charm to a recording agreement under his personal label, Bionic Entertainment, aka “8 Oasis”! Charm has since released a five song promotional EP titled “Charm School”, which includes street certified single “Yeen Know” and self-titled single “Charm School” featuring Princess of Crime Mob. Kaine, of the Ying Yang Twins, provided assistance and coaching for the project. Charm’s influences include Nikki Minaj, Chris Brown, T.I., Tyga, and Beyonce. If you like the new age of music, then you will LOVE what Charm has to bring to the table. You can catch up with Charm via Twitter.com/@AKACHARM, YouTube.com/AKACHARM, or Facebook.com/CHARMAKABABYGIRL. For further inquiries, send email to charmakababygirl@gmail.com. Stay tuned for more from Charm, because this is only the beginning! “Yeen Know!”
