We can’t always control what goes on around us and that’s okay! In this song the Brooklyn queen goes on a journey to finding her inner harmony and peace. She stops questioning herself why and takes a couple of hits and sips to clear her mind. Shout out to the producer UrBan Nerd Beats, HeyIndo on the engineering, Jack Arnold on the A&R side of things & OnlySuave on the cover art. This record is such a mellow vibe! Chill out, roll a fat Backwood to this and keep an eye out for Dashana and her upcoming releases. Make sure to follow her Instagram @Epicvibeee and ours @Sloppyvinyl for more updates.
Our unproblematic social beautiful butterfly gives us all kinds of vibes on new EP “While We Wait,” to hold fans over until her album comes out.

Ladies if he doesn’t want you when you have your meek mill braids in or don’t have your nails done, he doesn’t deserve you. If he cant handles you at your worst then he isn’t allowed to breath the same air as you when you’re glowing. That’s how Kehlani wants you to feel on her “Morning Glory” track which gets impressive when she switches her flow up like she was an original member of TLC.
Things getting distant during your relationship which is common RPG(feat.6lack) is the perfect song to get both perspectives. This song is a slow jam that is perfect for those nonverbal imitate moments that can explain everything without saying a word. 6lack comes through with the males perspective of things which helps even the most sacred man more understandable without speaking.
Ladies the moment you try and understand a guy and love him the way he needs it, is the moment you become everything too him. Kehlani is preaching to y’all on “Love Language” because how are you going to love somebody you can’t understand?
Kehlani comes through with a solid EP that gets the job done, to hold fans over while we wait. The features fit and its cohesive with her being over shine. The fact that she did this all the while being pregnant is amazing and shows how much of a boss she is.

Qc adds Youtube singer Layton Greene too lead the R&B side the label was lacking. Layton Greene is a 20-year-old female from St.Louis Missouri that blew up from her cover of Kodak Black “Roll in Peace,” track that received over 26 million views on Youtube back in December of 2017.

She only released a hand full of tracks after that with her most recent track “Myself” gaining over 9 million views on Youtube. She also did a cover of Derez De’Shon “Fed Up” that she called “Fed Up Remix” which gained 18 million views.

Not much else is known about her, but with QC now backing her it’s only a matter of time before the whole world knows her story. Pete is really putting QC in the conversation for the best record label and 2019 might be solidify it.
Whats up you guys! We are back with another interview. This week I have the pleasure of interviewing Photographer/Artist Tilly Garcia who will be telling us about her life story!
How are you!
Doing well! I’ve always done photography and art in since high school. I grew up in the east coast near the pine barrens, and I liked the darker side of things. A lot of my work reveals my spirituality and mythology.
Are you spiritual?
Yes, i’m spiritual with ambiguity.
Interesting, what’s your favorite part about photography?
I like editing, the magic really happens there!
Very true! When it comes to me and modeling, there’s nothing better than a dope edit on my pictures! How’s your relationship with you parents btw? You guys close?
Yes, my Dad is cuban and Mother is italian so we had freedom to choose a religion.
That’s cool, how do you feel it impacted you?
I was always into buddhism and christianity.
Wow I don’t think I’ve met anyone that’s into both Buddhism and Christianity. How do you connect the two together?
Those are just examples. Their all valid and all an expression. I consider myself clairvoyant and psychic.
Ooh so can you read minds?
No, but I can get messages in my dreams and I read tarot cards.
That’s dope, be careful with those things! Lol where do you currently, reside?
Pine barrens of nj
Did you go to school out here in Jersey?
I went to school around there and went to art school in Baltimore.
Oh, so what do you want people to get from your art and paintings?
My goal is to bring beauty to things that are overlooked.
How would you go about that and bringing beauty to the cemetery?
I do it in my photographs. The beauty of the family wanting to memorial on things that their love. I was at the cemetery this morning. I go there a lot. I feel I am more in touch with spirits. It feels timeless.
Now, when you convey this to people… do they perceive it as weird?
Yes, but I am ok with that. In my lighter work I’ve always felt that there is a darkness that comes through. I like it because life is the darkness and the light.
Where do you feel your style comes from?
A combination of dark or gothic things and religious, and more modern things. The state of the environment- but more nature.
Do you consider yourself a nature lover?
Yes, I go near a lot of parks. It’s beautiful, I think it should be appreciated.
What is your nationality by the way?
I’m Hispanic, my father is cuban, and my Mother is Mediterranean Italian.
That’s popping, do you think that Mediterranean sandwiches from Arby’s actually Mediterranean?
Lol, I’m not sure because I’m a vegan.
What made you become vegan?
I made that choice at a young age because of Buddhism. It’s been 15 years now.
Did it require you to become that way?
Not sure, but most Buddhists are that way.
Now quick question, what is your favorite color?
Black.
Would you consider yourself to be gothic or goth-like?
Absolutely!
What’s your favorite music genre?
Gothic music, dark electronica, black metal.
Has anyone ever called you a devil worshipper?
Yes, people in social media have taken things out of context. I don’t identify with anything that involves that. Not that there’s anything wrong with satanism or witchcraft.
Does it get to you?
A couple of articles that I’ve been involved in where I would have comments towards me saying I need Jesus which is weird because I am very spiritual.
How do you deal with it?
I made a couple of posts trying to explain but I’m not sure.
Do you block people?
Only if it gets crazy.
Would you say you have your fair share of stalkers?
My aesthetic scares people and I’m ok with that.
Well, who’s your favorite artist?
I was obsessed with Frida Kahlo and Dali.
Do you have any favorite music artists?
Its such a hard question. Cocteau Twins. They make stereotypical music.
Who is someone that you looked up to?
I’m not sure, I don’t have an answer.
How do you feel about what’s going in the world?
I feel it’s a mess and people have lost touch with nature & spirituality. If people were more in touch in nature they wouldn’t be chopping down trees.
How do you feel about our president?
Its a disaster.
If you had the authority would you change the world or no?
Yes, I would like to see people planting trees insteading cutting rainforests.
Are you big on going green?
Yes, but I don’t think it’s enough.
Will we see you driving a Tesla anytime soon?
Hahaha if only, I drive a nissan altima but if it was my choice it would not be for profit. I feel the problem is corporate using the atmosphere for monetary gain and its stupid. A tree can make food for hundreds of years why cut it?
Where can we see more of you?
I was interviewed yesterday for RVN TV. It should be in my instagram and highlighted.
If you can have any superpower what would it be?
The ability to change people’s thoughts. Telekinesis or being invisible. Any superpower would be amazing.
What does Tilly Garcia look for in a mate?
Someone who is compassionate, spiritual, artistic.
Tell us a particular moment where you were awarded for photography and art?
I was chosen for NJ in Time’s Top 50 for Photography and I was mentioned for NJ.
What’s the best advice you ever received?
“All life is suffering.”
Flyleaf’s lead singer says there’s blessing in suffering, do you agree with that?
Yes.
Can you take a second to tell us your life motto?
I always ask myself who do I live for, when I am picking an outfit or choosing a job opportunity. I always say myself. I have to be true to myself.
I agree. What would be a good theme song for your life?
Funeral party by the Cure. Its gothic and partyish. I’ll probably think of a different answer later on today. I wasn’t prepared for all of these good questions!
Do you have any bestfriends?
My sister and I are very close. I am fortunate to have other friends as well.
Did your style scare your Mom?
She hates it. She tried to steer me away from it but it didn’t work. My style still scares her.
Would you consider yourself to be the real life female Twilight?
Hell no!
You’re more of a fan of the classics like Dracula 2000?
Yes, and “Interview of the Vampire”. I saw a movie called “Dark Song” and it would be great if you love horror movies.
Are you huge movie goer?
In the past no, but I’ve been obsessed with horror movies. I did a post asking for suggestions and people gave me a lot.
Have you been able to live off your career?
For the past two years, I’ve been a freelancer. I’ve been doing fine arts and commercial for extra money.
Wow, how does that make you feel?
I prefer to be the boss but commercial is easy.
Do you have pain or go through things?
Yes, and my art is the most effective way of me expressing myself.
If you weren’t in the field that you’re in right now, what do you see yourself doing?
Modeling.
How do you separate yourself from any artist or photographer?
I don’t need to try. I just be myself.
Do you see yourself doing this forever?
Yes.
Ok, so what advice would you have any advice for someone who wants to into the field for photography & art?
Just be true to yourself. I know that’s cliche! But it’s true!
You sound really deep! Are you a poet?
Secretly.
What makes you hold back?
That’s a good question, it’s extremely personal. My art is more mysterious and ambiguous while poetry is raw.
Thanks to RECMETRO, you’ll be making your debut as a slam poet soon right?
Hahahahaha, yes a slam poet!
Who would you say is your celebrity crush?
Neil “DeGrasse” Tyson. An Astrophysicist. He’s from NY.
Be sure to check out Tilly Garcia’s work online via her website www.TillyGarcia.com and on Instagram ( @_spirits ). It was a pleasure speaking with you! Stay tuned for next week’s WCW!
WCW Interview with Professional Model Malika Miller: 4/11/18
Whats up you guys! We are back with another interview. This week I have the pleasure of Interviewing WCW recipient the lovely Ms. Malika Miller! She is a professional model straight out of Montclair, New Jersey!
What made you decide to become a professional model?
Ans: I worked at hooters my friend told me that I should be a model.
Has anyone ever said you looked like Amerie?
Everyone from Amerie, Michelle Obama, Alicia Keys (The most).
Any stalkers?
More annoyances really! I have a fair share of people in social media that ask me out and give comments such as, “I would drink your bath water”, “let me take you all around the world.”
Do you have any best friends?
My younger brother. He is really smart. I go to him for brain power. He is the genius of the family. I don’t have a whole lot of friends but I have my tight group of girls.
I call my best friend “wifey!” People tend to think because I call her wifey that means we’re gay when its not even like that. She tells me the truth and wants the best for me. I have different friends for different things.
I have my girl Rockel, she’s the Doctor of the crew. For instance, if there is something wrong with you she will call the Doctor for you or get you to the hospital herself. I have Laura who I’ve known for years and she has a great ethic and we feed off each others energy.
What happened to basketball?
TCNJ was D3, I had one D1 offer but it wasn’t official. It was just a visit. I went to TCNJ because it was hard to get in there. My SATS were trash. My high school coach was a big push in getting me in. I didn’t have a good relationship with the coach at TCNJ. I sort of felt they were racist and did not like the coaching style. I would ask questions about a play and they would tell me to be quiet. I would be considered to have an attitude. It just wasn’t meant to be but that was fine because it led me to where I am now!
Obviously, you are a successful model! What advice would give you someone trying to be a model?
I would never tell anyone not to do anything. I just think the model industry is suggestive. Someone who you think is beautiful may not get a contract but someone who you think is not attractive may make millions. It’s about timing!
Do you have a heavy interest in music?
I started working with artists and dabble in creative management. I love R&B and didn’t get into rap until middle school. My itunes are all over the place. From Britney Spears to OJs to Kodak Black.
Who stands out to you?
I love OnlyJahmez! I love his sound! I love how weird he is! I love how hard he works! I love twenty one Savage and Kodak too but I still listen to Brandy and Alicia Keys. I work out to Teddy Pendergrass. People think I would be working out to Bobby Shmurda!
Where can we see you next?
I just did a spread for Manhattan Bride Magazine which is out now! I am also involved in New Era Fitted Cap Campaign which involved Asap Ferg and many more.
What does Ms. Malika look for in a mate?
Consistency and communication. It’s not easy to find that right now!
Interviewer: Ms. Miller it was a pleasure getting to know you! Be sure to check her out on Instagram @malii_boo .
Ms. Miller: It was a pleasure as well! I definitely enjoyed it!
Interviewer: Be sure to check her out on Instagram @malii_boo !
