    Bio
    K.P. (The Infamous King of Positivity) is a first-generation Honduran American of Garifuna descent and a non-binary rapper and producer whose every move is intentional. From their stage name to their sonic palette, I.K.P. creates with layered purpose.Their latest single “FTW” is a high-voltage anthem built to energize your morning, fuel your workout, or soundtrack your world domination. The track’s rattling drums and bass, combined with an eerie and dominant melody, drive a sense of urgency that perfectly matches I.K.P.’s electrifying performance.“I want them to feel unstoppable. Whatever you’re doing, you’re doing it for the win, and you’reundeniable,” they share.I.K.P.’s writing process is as fluid as it is instinctive. Sometimes they write with pen and pad, other times they record voice notes or use their phone’s notes app.“Inspiration strikes in fragments or floods. As they say, you don’t gotta get ready if you stay ready.”In a landscape where many artists cling to one sound, I.K.P. thrives in versatility. Whether it’s boom bap, drill, reggae, or Latin rhythms, they co-produce and collaborate across styles, honoring Hip-Hop’s hybrid roots and their own Afro-Caribbean heritage.“I gravitate towards a lot of things and I don’t like to be in a box. I do a lot of co-producing with a multifaceted team. I love Hip-Hop so much because you can make all these hybrid styles make sense.”Their sonic range mirrors a life of movement and resilience. Raised in Norfolk, Virginia after their family emigrated from Honduras, I.K.P. also served over five years in the Marines. Growing up near Portsmouth, they drew early inspiration from Missy Elliott’s boundary-breaking creativity.The name I.K.P. represents more than music. It embodies advocacy and empowerment. Their stage name was inspired by their mission to combat the stigma surrounding HIV-positive diagnoses and to use art as a tool for visibility and strength among marginalized communities.“I decided I wasn’t going to let things that happened to me define how I saw the world. I wanted to show people who looked like me and lived like me that they could gain a sense of power. And if they didn’t know how to do it for themselves, I could show them that it could be done.”I.K.P. also explores the intersection of rap, pop culture, and the evolving LGBTQIA+ experience, acknowledging both the progress and the challenges that remain. They reference artists like Kevin Abstract, Tyler The Creator, Lil Nas X, Young M.A, Steve Lacy, and Syd, trailblazers who continue to push the conversation forward.“It’s about self-actualization. Whether you’re Black, gay, and/or queer, you’re often kept out of certain rooms and conversations. I want to show people that you can always take control and be free.”For I.K.P., rap is a ritual, a reflection of joy, pain, and transformation.“I want to continue to speak for those who feel like they don’t have a voice or that their voice is being suppressed. Hip-Hop has always been a tool of progression and evolution, and I just want to continue that tradition,” they said.Their fanbase, affectionately known as #PozFriendlies, can expect a wave of new releases following the success of their fourth full-length project 11:11 | eleven eleven released in 2021. I.K.P. is also expanding their BLOCK SPINNINseries on TikTok and Instagram, a Stereogum-inspired chronicle exploring the history of Billboard Hot 100 hits.

    Bio
    Los Angeles/Las Vegas artist Michelle Ann Owens releases her latest single, “Enough”, a funk-rock anthem of empowerment and self-worth. Released on October 16 to coincide with Purple Thursday for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the song anchors her forthcoming EP of the same name and leads into her full-length album, Chapter Vegas, due later this year.“Enough” is about reclaiming personal power and breaking free from toxic situations. Musically, it fuses funk, rock, soul, and pop, with gritty guitar riffs, bold horns, and a retro-modern groove that highlights Owens’ soulful, defiant vocals. The track was produced with Michael “Fish” Herring and features a powerhouse lineup of live musicians, while Owens handled her own vocal production.Her music blends influences from Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool & the Gang, Prince, and The Jacksons, creating a sound she describes as “funky.” The Enough music video, directed by Kenneth Williams, mirrors the song’s journey from tension and pain to empowerment and release.Owens continues to perform live in both LA and Vegas, sharing her empowering message with fans of funk-rock, soulful pop, and bold female vocalists.

    Bio
    Nikena is a Caribbean-born artist whose music radiates love, authenticity, and cultural pride. Love serves as the heartbeat of her artistry, inspiring every lyric, melody, and performance. Her singles “Hold Me” and “Surprise” each explore love from distinct perspectives, one through vibrant Caribbean rhythms and the other through soulful R&B tones, yet both remain unmistakably her.Nikena’s creative process is as authentic as her sound. She records herself twice, first in her home studio where ideas flow freely, and then in a professional studio for the final cut. Writing often takes place at home or in peaceful outdoor spaces, allowing her to stay comfortable and inspired throughout the process.“When I’m writing at home, I can just be myself and play around with the song however I want. Whenever something comes to me, morning or night, I can immediately bring it to life,” she says.Songwriting is Nikena’s favorite part of creating music. She recently experienced a full circle moment that reminded her how far she’s come as an artist.“I was printing my lyrics the other day, and it hit me. I used to do that for other artists growing up. Now I’m doing it for my own music,” she reflects.Her single “Hold Me” holds special meaning in her catalog, blending dancehall and pop in a way that celebrates her Caribbean roots. The song’s vibrant percussion and gentle melody reflect both her heritage and her personal evolution.“As someone of Caribbean descent, it’s important for me to fully express who I am without holding back. My culture shapes my identity as an artist. Authenticity matters to me, every song I write comes from personal experience,” she explains.The accompanying music video for “Hold Me” captures the essence of Caribbean energy, from club scenes and colorful outfits to wine-based choreography, all visualized through Nikena’s creative vision. Similarly, her R&B-infused single “Surprise” takes a more intimate approach, showcasing her emotional depth and versatility as both a writer and performer.Creating her debut album This Is Me, set for release in October, has been a deeply rewarding journey. The process taught Nikena patience and trust in her creativity, understanding that inspiration arrives in its own time.“It had been about five years since my first single, and I realized there’s no better time than now to pour my heart into a full-length project,” she shares.Originally planning to release an EP, Nikena chose instead to craft a complete body of work that reflects her growth, resilience, and joy as an artist.Her love for performing is another driving force. From open mics and outdoor festivals to intimate showcases and listening parties, each stage experience fuels her passion for connection.“I love seeing people have a good time. It’s fulfilling to share that energy with them,” she says.For Nikena, authenticity is everything. She continues to evolve as an artist who leads with love and self-belief.
