This is a song by a Canadian creative artist with a unique sound, molded through the
inspirations from classic rock's, poetic touch, to today's mainstream Hip Hop. Rising artist Levy
writes, records, and mixes his very own music.
“This song talks about missing a girl, the "girl" is truly bigger than that, it's life and feeling lost
and confused. "Dazed and Confused" is a perfect term for it, like the song title by Led Zeppelin. From
my very own thoughts and ideas, swimming inside of me, this is Lonely Sheep (5am)”. - Levy
Mulaarie in West Philadelphia born and raised; but he didn’t play on any playgrounds. Mulaarie coming from the musically sacred grounds of Philly, didn’t have time to play. Life’s cruel
circumstances left him to fend for himself in any and every way possible, which in the end morphed himinto a sort of ‘prophet of the street.’ Mulaarie calls it as he’s lived it and the rawness of his language is drawing the attention of people with similar experiences, people curious about what that type of life is like and the big wigs who are accomplished who see in him, what they saw in themselves. Mulaarie at the tender age of 25 has lived 10 lives and now his lyrics act as a bullhorn for what it’s really like to be out there relying on instinct alone.
‘Everyone says I’m soft now’, says the burgeoning rapper. ‘But I’m not soft, I’m a father’. Life haschanged drastically for Mulaarie since the days when all he had to worry about was himself. He has completely taken on the role of a loving, nurturing father and has decided that his young king will live vastly different than he. Taking a long hard look in the mirror, Mulaarie concluded that the only way his son should live is in excellence. He’s growing up and glowing up doing the right thing by family while breaking into this industry with a vengeance.
Wasn’t too long after Mulaarie decided to mix urban myths, realities and street tales into a fusion of melodic chant, did South Philadelphia native Beanie Sigel take notice; and the rest as they say is history. Sigel began to walk around with Mulaarie as if he were his musical son; someone whose future he absolutely cared about. Sigel knew what we all know.... Hip Hop keeps living when new life is breathed into and the evolution continues.
Mulaarie has come MILES from where he started. His career path has become the stuff of legends and his discography is intriguing, telling and musical. He’s proud of all his work but has done remarkablecollabs with the likes of Styles P and Beanie Sigel; something up and coming rappers wish they could say. Some of his singles include, Been Like ‘Dat Produced by KRISSIO, Dreams of a Drug Lord, Whole Damn Life, and Bully Lyfe featuring Beanie Sigel. Check out more of his current releases on Spotify, SoundCloud, iTunes, videos on YouTube where much of his work is streamed.

JC is a up-and-coming artist coming out of Atlanta. The new artist takes a trip to the West Coast to find his big break and discovers it with award-winning singer/songwriter Eric Bellinger on the new single, “Way Too Much”.
In the Stacking Memories-directed, JC and Easy find inspiration at the beach on a hot Summer day. The two play it cool beside the waves as ladies flock to them and their smooth mid-tempo hit. JC is an undeniable charmer that will be a hit on the airwaves in no time.
For Justin Crowder, the goal is to make music that people will remember and relate to; invoking an unforgettable feeling. For his more popularly known moniker, JC, it's about creating real music with a touch of swagg; charisma in the form of a sound recording! Referring to his writing style, he states, “Everything I write is catchy with strong metaphors, fresh concepts, and captivating melodies that stick.” JC is pleasant, humble, quite witty and even a little shy at times. He lacks arrogance, yet embodies character built confidence. But one thing stands above all these traits…JC is a STAR!
This baby-faced, multi-platinum singer/songwriter has many colorful tales surrounding his entry into the business….common, yet, vividly unusual stories of death threats, being cheated, being broke, and politics that cut his progress short. He has many, “And then…what happen was…” moments, things that should have made him throw in the towel but JC hung on. The Nashville, TN native and Atlanta, GA resident understands that it’s all a part of the process. He was even forced involuntarily to go under the knife for vocal surgery five times! Doctors at the Vanderbilt Voice Center told JC they’d try to recover his “speaking voice” but singing again “probably just wouldn't happen.” God obviously had another plan in mind because JC’s been crooning just fine. When JC presented a CD of recorded songs to his doctors, they were brought to tears!
JC’s career really began to kick off after the independent release of his first album All of Me, which was a major global success. He would later gut out a passenger van and fill it with his belongings, as he began the short yet seemingly uncertain trek from Nashville to Atlanta. Being shuffled in and out of meetings when he arrived and literally leaving the city’s music industry coveting and speechless at his natural abilities from live shows, writing, and the indie release of “Nobody Gotta Know,” JC was always content with being an “independent” singer/songwriter until “the right deal” presented itself. As a driven entrepreneur, JC plans to continue showcasing his music and catapult his career even further with his company No.2 Pencil Muzik, LLC which concentrates on songwriting, producer management, vocal production, and artist development aspects of the industry.
JC has further made his mark in the music industry as a songwriter and vocal producer, developing several artists & producers. And he’s created a demand for himself from a surplus of major music companies by being such a successful global artist independently. He frequently collaborates with Grammy award-winning, platinum-selling producers Keyzbaby, Cheeze Beatz, and Dirty Rice along with up and coming producers Bridgez, Tad Beatz, and Tony Rozay.
JC has managed to work with some of music’s heaviest hitters: Diddy, Future, T.I., Rick Ross, Wyclef, Bangladesh, Zaytoveen, and Brian Michael Cox (to name a few) and sharing the stage with Chris Brown, Migos, Usher, Lil Wayne, and many more; performing at everything from school pep rallies to radio station/community events to major concerts, including Atlanta’s largest show: Birthday Bash. In November 2011, JC signed an agreement with Star Base/P-Vine Records in Japan to release a series of musical compositions abroad.
He showcased his giftedness with the release of his album ENCORE, which peaked at No.3 on the Japanese R&B album charts and astoundingly features 8 songs that charted on the Top 100 R&B Songs chart, the most popular being Hwy 2 Luv which peaked at No. 5. JC also released an album entitled EARCANDY in 2011 and a digital EP entitled ENCORE in 2012, which were both very successful and escorted by international tours. In March of 2013, JC released a classic joint album with KeChelle entitled FOREVER. It was yet another successful global indie release; it peaked at No.5 on the Japanese R&B charts and reached thousands of sales in the U.S. & abroad. He also released several singles in Germany that all charted on their Top 10 Urban Charts: Say U Scared (w/ Tyro), Cheers To Us (w/ DJ T.O), Attention (w/ DJ Santo-T), and Hands On You (w/ DJ Belay). All of these projects were released independently and were successful with practically no major promotion or budget.
He plans to capitalize on his new partnerships with Elation Entertainment, Heard Well, Onepeace Inc. (Japan), Bonaphied Ent., and major distributors by independently touring and releasing new music internationally throughout 2019. However, JC has recently released a couple of new indie singles, Bounce, Shamone, and Way Too Much that have been very well-received! *His upcoming singles Way Too Much (feat. Eric Bellinger) and No Filter (feat. Jacquees) are in high demand after posting teasers online!
What separates the singer/songwriter from the droves of R&B hopefuls is he didn't have to choose this path. Though he has been belting gospel classics professionally since he was 9, JC graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tennessee State University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, followed by a Master’s in Education with a highly impressive 4.0 GPA and was teaching high school as Mr. Crowder by day and exploiting his creative talents as JC by night. JC utters, “A plan B is great but music is my heart.”
“You just don’t understand what I've been through,” he says tiredly. "But I've never possessed the energy to give up doing what I love, despite being called a fool. I’m at a place in my career where my fulfillment comes from knowing I’m doing this Independently and still being successful both musically and financially, having fun, seeing the world, and making good music.”
Where sex and scandal ravage through the airwaves, JC offers sensuality and feeling, and at times his music can merely be described as just “cool.” His music is littered with hidden meanings and innuendos, but it’s always backed with chart topping production and the components that hit songs are made of. His boyish good looks don’t make it hard for his fans to fall in love on sight, but it’s his ability to regurgitate his soul on wax that will cement his position and make him truly UNFORGETTABLE.
