Q: What is your artist name? What is your real name? How did you get your artist name? A: My name is Solomon Headen. That’s my real name and my artist name. When I think about people that I want to be mentioned beside, they all used their first and last name. Micheal Jackson, Quincy Jones, Whitney Houston etc…
Q: How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you? A: I’d describe it as a thin line between R&B and Pop. I’ve found the perfect marriage in my music where I play that middle line. I’m just as much R&B as I am Pop.
Q: What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you? A: Music is in me. I started off playing drums at 5 years old. Since then I’ve explored different parts of music. I also come from a very musical family. My mom and Grandma sing. My Uncles are musicians, so I kinda had no choice but to love music. Greatness inspires me. I want to be the greatest. It keeps me up at night. So yeah, I’d say that’s what keeps me going.
Q: Who are some of your main musical influences? A: Ye, Pharrell, Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyoncé, Tyler, The Creator, Drake. I’m a fan of so many artists honestly, but these are the people who have been influencing me more recently.

Q: Date that this project dropped or is set to drop? A: The single “Crime” dropped on January 1st. The official music video drops on April 12th.
Q: What is this project about in your own words? A: The song is about that juxtaposition between love and lust. It’s a wild thing to navigate, especially these days. So even with the visual, I wanted to paint a haunting, sensual picture that felt contemplative. “Like I want you but I want her too, but I love you”. It’s crazy I know, but that’s what makes it beautiful art to me.
Q: 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. A: I am working on an album, and in the meantime you can definitely expect more singles.
Q: What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from this project? A: I hope people feel inspired after watching this video. Hell I really just want people to feel in general, while listening to my music or watching my videos. I want it to be an experience. A moment.

Today, breakout New York City teenaged rapper Sugarhill Ddot serves up a chilling new single and music video “Tweakin” out now via Priority Records. Listen HERE. Watch the video HERE.
Produced by AyyoLucas, EliWTF, and Vogo, the track hinges on a hypnotic soundscape laced with a gripping piano loop and 808 thump. Ddot doles out bold and braggadocios rhymes as he reflects on his trials and tribulations. Backed by jittery hi-hats, it culminates on the tense and disarmingly catchy refrain. “Paranoid ready to die, cause lately I’ve been tweakin.” He exhales, “Pray for me.” Directed by Jalen Scott, the accompanying visual proves both stirring and stunning. Set in an ornate church, he pleads for divine help as emotions overflow. The clip places viewers inside of his head, wading through stress, anxiety, and darkness with punchy bars.
Watch “Tweakin” By Sugarhill Ddot
It arrives on the heels of Sugarhill Ddot making his Rolling Loud debut and his single “Outside,” which was the first single from Ddot since the high-intensity “Spinnin’ Pt. 2″ with BBG Steppaa. It was preceded by “My Baby,” the rambunctious “Shake It,” “Make A Mess,“ and the Miami-inspired “3AM In The Yams.” That track quickly made waves, hitting over one million video views within four days. It’s a testament to Ddot meteoric rise to prominence. To kick off his Priority Records debut the young MC dropped the MCVertt (Lil Uzi Vert) produced standout track “Let Ha Go“ alongside a striking George Buford (Ice Spice) directed video.
Beginning at age 13, Ddot quickly made waves with his abilities. Through YouTube, his self-released tracks “I Wanna Love You,”“Dream,” and “The Real Purge” have racked up nearly 20 million combined views — and those conventional metrics only capture a small slice of this phenomenon’s first steps to stardom. To date, he has amassed over 50 million streams in the U.S. alone in his budding career.
