"Crashing Down" Free Download (right click to save)

Soundtrack caught up with L.A. pop artist Kady Z to talk about the meaning of the "Z" in her name and a few other burning questions

ST: What does the "Z" in your name stand for?  And what are 3 other "Z" things you think represent you?

KZ: It's short for Zadora or sometimes when life just gets too crazy, Zoo. I would say Zed, cuz my friends call me Zed, Zero cuz "Less than Zero" is one of my favorite books and Xylophone, because I am a classically trained Xylophone player.  :)

 

ST: Your debut album was called One Million Pieces, tell us what that title means to you.

KZ: Well the EP is about a breakup so it's literally about a heart breaking into a million pieces.

 

ST: Who was your favorite contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race when you were on the show?

KZ: Definitely Raven and Jujubee, even though they were on my team! I think they are perfect!!

 

ST: What is your favorite past/present MTV show?

KZ: Awkward because Ashley Rickards cracks me up and I think everyone can relate to feeling out of place at some point in their lives.

 

ST: If you can collaborate with anyone on your next album, who would it be?

KZ: Ed Sheeran because he's a genius.

Najee The 1

Rapper Najee The 1 is a major force of the New York Hip Hop scene. He was recently featured in the New York Times focusing on Independent Artists doing their own thing and creating their own rules. Hip Hop, Rap - whatever you want to call it, comes from the same place. Punk Rock was spawned from the streets of New York in the early 70's (arguably) and the same is said for Rap. From the streets to the beats. Najee The 1 has single-handedly handcrafted his own style and and never looked back. No handbook on how to rock the mic, just pure organic from-the-heart musicianship. Najee The 1 recently released the track "Elevated (Feat. DB2)" which can be heard tonight in The Pauly D Project

Najee The 1 is offering you an exclusive song called "Paradise (feat. DB2)"
