Fusing the sounds of different countries and cultures, the track features representation from Australia, Nigeria, Italy, the US, the UK and Argentina.

“Supporting independent music is important to me, and I want this song to showcase the artists’ talents” explains DJ K-Wale. “The song title emphasises this and also states that there is no competing with our talent”.

“No Competition” is DJ K-Wale’s first release of 2023, with more new music to follow later in the year.

ABOUT DJ K-WALE:

DJ K-Wale is a London-based artist with West African Roots. He produces hip-hop and dubstep music and is a founding member of EBI Records, an organisation that works with and supports independent artists in the local community. His father was a DJ and is his main influence.
As well as releasing music independently, he has also collaborated with gaming company Ubisoft to provide music for Watch Dogs Legion and Beyond Good and Evil 2.

He is a major supporter of artist rights and believes in helping new artists find their feet in the music industry and helping them to collaborate with others to build long-lasting business relationships. DJ K-Wale released his first EP in October 2022 and is currently honing his craft and planning to go on tour.

ABOUT HONEY-B-SWEET:

“Feel the beat, let the rhythm take control. I’m all about that music life, baby!”

As a songwriter and lyricist, Honey-B-Sweet is driven by the power of words. From a young age, she has been obsessed with crafting the perfect rhymes and wordplay. The greats like 2PAC, Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre were early inspirations, but it was the fierce female artists like Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B who showed her that a woman can run the game just as hard. Her goal as a musician is to create music that motivates, empowers, and gets you hyped, no matter the subject matter.

ABOUT MICA FRANCO:

Argentinian singer/songwriter Mica Franco is a professional who has been studying singing for over 12 years. With experience in a wide variety of musical genres including rock, jazz, soul, r&b, funk, blues, pop, as well as being a backing vocalist, she began releasing music officially in 2022.

Her latest single “En Control” was released in September 2022 and is available to stream/download worldwide.

ABOUT KING CRIS:

King Cris (Cristopher Lewis) is a rapper, singer-songwriter, and audio engineer from Southern California. He is known best for his unique stylistic approach to songwriting. From telling stories, to creating scenarios from pure feelings of the soul, he intends to push the narrative of rap, R&B, and Neo Soul in an entirely new direction.

He was drawn to the culture of hip hop within the basketball community at high school, inspired by artists like Drake, J. Cole, Logic, Cordae, and Childish Gambino. As his interest in the genre became more apparent, a late night freestyle with his cousin and brothers convinced him to dive into the creation of music and explore the technology behind audio engineering.

He began releasing music in 2018 with a series of experimental singles that were created from an iPhone 6. Continuing to establish his identity in the rap scene in 2019, the string of singles was concluded with the release of his first mixtape ‘20K’, which he dedicated to his late grandmother.

King Moore: A Rising Star on a Mission to Inspire and Unite

Published

on

At just 75 pounds, 8-year-old King Moore is emerging as a powerful voice for the Alpha generation. With a blend of music, acting, and political activism, he is capturing hearts across the nation. King’s radiant smile and relentless determination have made him a sensation. With visionary manager and Grammy-winning music publisher Tony Mercedes—known for hits like Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and TLC’s “No Scrubs”—King’s debut single “ABC,” released on April 30, 2024, has already amassed over four million views on YouTube.

But King’s ambitions extend far beyond personal fame. After a memorable FaceTime meeting with iconic songwriter Jackie DeShannon, he proposed a reimagining of her classic song “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” This sparked the creation of The King Moore Unity Project, where he collaborated with six handpicked young artists and Grammy-nominated producer Sean McMillion to record the iconic track. The project aims to inspire hope and healing in an increasingly divisive world. As Tony Mercedes aptly noted, “The message was bigger than the melody,” emphasizing that with determination, anything is possible.

Jackie DeShannon reflected on the collaboration, saying, “The Angels came down from Heaven and sang my song. My brother Randy would have been so proud. I know he’s watching over me always.” The single is now available through Tribeca Records and Tony Mercedes Music.

King’s journey began at just three years old, nurtured by the unwavering support of his family. This year alone, he has starred in a national commercial for AT&T, joined the Dreamfest Tour alongside former Nickelodeon star That Girl Lay Lay, and acted in two feature films: Cora Bora and DreamWorks’ animated masterpiece Wild Robot, featuring Lupita Nyong’o. His impressive accomplishments caught the eye of Daytime Emmy-winning talk show host Tamron Hall, leading to a surprise invitation to her “Big Dreamers” series. On the anniversary of her 1,000th episode, Tamron committed to making King’s dream a reality by becoming the Executive Producer of his television show, “Everyone Loves King.” After the show, King exclaimed, “Today was the best day of my life!”

In addition to his entertainment endeavors, King was invited to the White House to participate in a Gun Violence Prevention initiative, where he moved lawmakers with his poignant statement: “Kids make up fifty percent of the population, but they also make up one hundred percent of the future.” He later recorded the song “Safe at School” to advocate for stricter gun safety laws, emphasizing the need for safer environments for his generation. “As a kid from the Alpha generation, and bring a special representative with Celebrities Against Gun Violence (CAGV), I know that better gun safety laws mean better chances for my generation to feel safe at school,” he asserted. King now travels the country speaking out about school safety while on the Dreamfest kids’ tour.

King Moore holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to receive a proclamation from the city of Atlanta and the youngest hip-hop artist invited to speak at the White House. King and some of the members of the Unity Project were also the youngest to appear Live on stage at Times Square in celebration of International Peace Day to perform “Put A Little Love in Your Heart.” 

Despite his many accomplishments, King cherishes the wisdom of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who said, “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” With this guiding principle, King is on a mission to transform not just the future of his generation but the world around him. While the ultimate outcome of his remarkable journey remains uncertain, one thing is clear: King Moore is destined to be remembered as one of the hardest-working kids in show business.
