Hip-Hop Lives Here
MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE - After hitting the hip hop scene with his debut album, “Hayl,” VeeVerse has pulled out all the stops for his follow-up EP, “Boarding Pass.”
“The crazy thing is I don’t listen to hip-hop as much as people think I do. I listen to R&B, rock, and everything outside of hip hop,” said VeeVerse. “So, I know when I start writing that I have a clear mind. I’m always trying to be creative with my next pitch.”
VeeVerse’s creative process is unique but results in an ingenious four-track EP containing multiple hip hop styles, including pop, trap, and R&B influences which result in VeeVerse’s dynamic cadence. “I try not to sound the same on every individual track that I create,” explained VeeVerse. “My cadence changes within different genres that I collab with. My cadence is trappist and R&B. Of course, you still hear the same voice in each song, but I always try to be creative and think outside the box.”
“Boarding Pass” is produced by Tim Hill and represents VeeVerse’s ability to shift from rapping a sappy love song to a hype song to rally the audience to a pop-influenced piece.
The first track on “Boarding Pass” is “Air,” which includes a Phil Collins sample infusing a pop vibe. Written after the death of a friend, VeeVerse pours his heart out, paying tribute to his friend using the famous pop song’s beat as a background for VeeVerse’s silky smooth lyrics.
Channeling his inner J. Cole, “Line Em Up” is destined to be a crowd favorite with its mellow vibes as VeeVerse invites his haters to line up. “Line ’em up for whoever is coming against me,” he said. “Just line ’em up; I’m ready.”
“Nvm” (a.k.a. Never Mind) mixes singing and rapping in a hip-hop song, demonstrating his musicality to switch back and forth while relating to fans with the song’s message. While everyone deals with things out of their control, “Nvm” tells listeners to step back and simply say, ‘never mind’ and walk away from trouble, whether it is someone playing mind games or potential physical harm.
Going back to his rapping roots, “You Thought” rounds out the new EP with a strong trap performance. “I’m talking real reckless in this song. You can never get past me with anything. So, don’t think that you can,” he said, describing the lyrics.
“Boarding Pass” shows his growth as a musician and lyrical hip hop artist. Content with his first EP, VeeVerse knows “Boarding Pass” is a step up. “I reached into my bag and pulled out a little extra for this EP - a little extra energy and time with this one. I worked on it for months to make sure that it was right,” he said. “I listened to beats over and over again just to find the right one.”
As more fans get introduced to this born and raised Murfreesboro artist, VeeVerse has found his place in the hip hop world as a lyrical mastermind who can shapeshift musical genres. “I am multi-diverse. I don’t discriminate against nobody. I want everybody to enjoy my music. I’m just trying to bring everybody together when I create music,” he said.

“A sexy, sensual song about making love.” Any questions?
That’s how Atlanta rapper PrettyP describes “Headboard,” her latest single, which has been released on the label Famous Records and features the talents of Lil Durk.
As a nurse, dancer, and mom of four, PrettyP is a busy woman. But in making music, she steals her own time to shine.
I’ma grab that headboard
Suck it with no teeth
I’ma have you drowning
When you go underneath
PrettyP says, “My verse was dedicated to my fiancé. I really wrote it, thinking of him.”
Making a name for herself in music, PrettyP is on an inspiring path from rags to riches. In 2024, she was offered more than 20 feature opportunities through a label supporting independent artists. She also boasts of an ongoing independent contract for feature collaborations.
PrettyP comes from a musical family. Growing up in Milwaukee, music was like oxygen surrounding her as her parents had multiple record labels. Her brother is a rapper as well.
With these musical roots in her family, she learned music production early. Now, she takes a hands-on approach to her career as an independent artist. Recording primarily on BandLab, PrettyP handles her own mixing and mastering. Her approach is decidedly self-directed and allows her to shape her sound and music career exactly as she sees fit. She can move quickly, experimenting with sounds and collaborators without having to wait on traditional studio timelines or big label approval processes.
As for her goals, PrettyP says her focus is on building consistent visibility and earning a place in regular rotation on radio, Spotify playlists, and in the club.
Her lyrics are based on her life. She is inspired by artists like Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj, and references artists like Boosie Badazz and Pop Smoke. In turn, she wants others to be inspired by her own upward aspirations, her own philosophy of “not taking ‘no’ for an answer.”
In short, PrettyP’s message is clear: “Anybody can do it,” she says. If someone like PrettyP can aim for collaborations with the best and brightest in hip hop, then her fans should surely feel that the sky is the limit.
In addition to the release of “Headboard,” PrettyP is also gearing up for a major birthday celebration. In honor of her 27th birthday, she is hosting a live concert event at Atlanta’s Tabernacle. The event includes a lineup of special guests for what she promises will be a “night to remember.”
Fans can access discounted tickets using the promo code PRETTY. Additional group rates are available through the event page.
“Headboard” is available now with promotional support from Starlight PR. Follow PrettyP at the links below.
