Lieutenant $hyne ‘8 Legged Freak’ EP continues to make waves

Memphis rapper, Lieutenant $hyne continues to make waves with his latest release. The EP features eight new songs from Lieutenant $hyne with “Only Fans” being the buzzing lead single and produced by legendary Memphis Producer, Blackout. Other notable songs on the project are “No Question,” “Call Me” and “Big Spider” which features Bizzle2Turnt55. ThaiStik appears on “Done It All” and the EP also features production from Troy Cole, Timmy Barr III & Chefry Kitchen. Both clean and explicit versions of the EP are available on all streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, etc.

A few years ago on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God stated that, “Memphis has the best rappers in the game right now” and $hyne is solely focused on becoming the next independent artist to be mentioned in that conversation in 2023. While being inspired by the likes of Lil’ Wayne, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Starlito, Memphis legends 8Ball & MJG, and the late great Young Dolph, just to name a few, $hyne was raised in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in South Memphis on McMillian Street. 

$hyne considers himself to be the modern-day Picasso of music. On instrumentals he masterfully paints literary art with his heartfelt lyrics of authenticity which are derived from his life’s experiences. With his distinct style and sound, $hyne is taking the music industry by storm with this EP serving as a preview of what’s to come from his debut album, “De$tined 2 $hyne,” which is currently scheduled for a Spring 2023 release. $hyne is signed to I Eat U Eat Entertainment, LLC., a Memphis based independent label.

$hyne recently launched the “Bop It Challenge” on TikTok and other popular social media sites, with the aim of introducing “Only Fans” to a wider audience and increasing fan engagement and streams. There will be cash prize giveaways for the best dance performances with first, second and third place winners.

What city are you from/ Where are you based now?

I’m from St. Ann Jamaica. Based in Orlando, FL.

What is your artist name? What is your real name? How did you get your artist name?

My real name is Adrian Rowe. Chucky was a nickname given to me as a toddler by my uncle because I was inquisitive and always got into some kind of trouble. He said I reminded him of the Chucky doll. Royale was incorporated later in the 8th grade when I started believing that everyone should be able to live a Royale lifestyle, not just the royal family. My friends and I were the Royale Empire in high school. Chucky Royale was born. 

How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?

The sound is a mix between Underground Rap and Jamaican Dancehall. Listeners will get a mellow, upbeat vibe from my music. I would describe it as New age Dancehall music geared to incorporating Rap/Hip Hop culture. Half of my music will make you want to get up and dance, the next half will have you thinking and holding some meditations on life. Witty, lyrical Lines are my forte´ and my lines are given in a sleek wavy manner. 

What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you?

I am passionate about music because of how it makes me feel and the message I can get across to my people. I’m able to touch lives and be an extension of the Truth. I am inspired by being financially literate and passing on the knowledge to my people through my music and other art. 

Who are some of your main musical influences?

Bob Marley, Nas, Jay Z, Sean Paul, J Cole, Nipsey Hussle, Damian Marley

Tell us the name of the project you are currently promoting? What inspired this project?

The project is called “Roll Out.” This project is inspired by my Jamaican culture. We take going out to heart and go hard to make sure the vibes are good and everybody has a great time. 

What is this project about in your own words?

This project is about rolling out with my people, enjoying life to the fullest. Especially after the covid pandemic. 

What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects we should be on the lookout for? Include some dates if you have them.

Putting in the work, promoting and marketing my music. Other than Roll Out, my next big project will be Loose Change (around early summer) and Different Dimensions (September)

What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from this project?

Financial Intelligence is the message for my art. From this project, I hope the fans understand that “Once we work hard, we can live any quality of life that we can dream of. The sky is the limit, and we can Roll Out whenever we want”

Being 1TakeJay is no small task in “The Biggest” Visual

Being 1TakeJay is no small task and he had to let it be known on his brand new single and video titled “The Biggest”. Jay is braggadocios as ever, spewing the bars “I don’t eat at Burger King because I’m talented, I told her have it your way because I’m having it” in a much calmer manner on this track, as opposed to his typical zealous flow. The visual directed by YOURJUSTNTIME captures Jay’s spectacular life, filled with french maids bringing him the biggest breakfast, followed by him watching the biggest TV, with the biggest chain on, in the biggest penthouse. 

1TakeJay has kicked off this year with two new singles already and is just getting started as he plans on releasing much more music in the coming months sticking to the formula of consistency plus quality he has come to be known for. 

With over 100 million streams combined, Jay has proven himself an elite contender among the rap’s new class.  An only child raised by a single mother; Jay grew up in Compton’s Westside. His home was not far from Centennial High School—the alma mater of Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar. Jay would have graduated from there, too, had he not transferred to Carson due to his football talent at wide receiver, safety, and cornerback. Gridiron talent kept Jay disciplined—qualities that he uses almost a decade later in his music career. “Sports built my character and motivated me,” Jay recalls. “You can’t miss practice; you go hard on every play, and you never skip the weight room. I apply that to music and life.” Although Jay received a scholarship to play safety for Fresno State, an injury sidelined him and eventually sent him back home—transferring to nearby El Camino Community College. As 1TakeJay’s football dreams were in question, he discovered talent elsewhere.

Hanging with friends 1takequan and 1taketeezy during the summer of 2013 eventually led to him hopping on a song. “I liked how it came out.” Jay’s verses and choruses continued, building to a 1takeboys Soundcloud mixtape. In 2014, things changed. With Quan and Teezy focused on other things, Jay was forced to work alone. “To Da Neck,” among the first three solo songs 1TakeJay made, became a hit among the redeveloping L.A. underground. The song achieved over 10,000 streams in less than two weeks and is on its way to over 22 million streams. Songs like 2018’s “Arco,” 2019’s “No F*cks” and 2020’s “Proud Of U” proved that Jay is here to stay, with millions tuned in, across work with DJ Mustard, Blueface, & others.

“I have gotten better with confidence and believing in myself, musically,” Jay says. The rapper tore down stages, including Southern California & Bay Area’s Rolling Loud festival as well as Day N Vegas. “I enjoy performing more than making the actual music,” he shares. “I think I brought a new element to the type of music that I make. Artists that make party music and ratchet music—you don’t see them performing like I do. I get in the crowd and party with my fans, as you see in trap music.”
