What does it mean to be an underdog? What does it mean to be slept on? Avery Harden (@averyhardhiphop) was recently referred to us @rareflavr to feature in our next artist snapshot , and we had the chance to go over his new project, Atlantis , the main theme of Atlantis, his current relationships in music, and overall process.

At RareFlavr we are constantly seeking more music, talent and hardworking artists who are constantly developing their craft and have established themselves in music of all genres. Luckily we were introduced to another talented artist online Avery Harden. Thank you for tuning in to RareFlavr!

(Atlantis available below)

Avery Harden (@averyhardhiphop) Nevada native, now residing in Los Angeles, California has been making music and developing his game over the years and has now released his 11th project —-truly a Hustle-Grind to accomplish that! As far as his music process, we learned more in detail of how this project came together and his overall process. He mentioned ,

“Beats are always first for me, I’ll search through what people send me. And I also go out looking sometimes. And the Collabs happen with the people I work super close with I pick the beat that would fit them best! We have a studio we are continuing to build in La Mirada, California we just stated the beginning of this year, before that we were in home studios or renting out hotels and recording in rooms… The writing process happens wherever inspiration develops honestly it’s not one particular place.”

The Studio is called, "Meditateabovmoon Studios”:

MEDITATEABOVMOON STUDIOS

“The studio name came from our collective so a couple of the guys on the project are my partners who own the studio with me:

Drivinchi - is meditative mindstate media

I’m ABOV- (a bunch of visionaries)

Issac Lawrence - is moon (masters of our now)

“That’s why its meditateabovmoon studios haha”

So once we learned how the project was made, we found out more about the Project itself,

“The underdog concept is because I feel like I’m still being slept on. Humbly I’m super talented and hardworking, but I still feel like it gets over looked!”

At one-point or another we all can relate to being an underdog- which is important in society to continue to challenge yourself and grow as an artist, person, and in life. This is truly a strong body of work. In particular the metaphors, delivery, and story line of this project makes it an all-around solid body of work. This EP features 7 tracks, all with impressive transitions and easy-listening capabilities with some surprises.

AVERY HARDEN ATLANTIS

As of Currently, Avery is working with a known independent label called “undercoverprodigy” and working to get signed through them. He currently works with the label and learning things about the industry and get to know one of his inspirations HOPSIN more. Jammie the label president, his been a major influence in setting the stage for Avery and gaining insights.

We asked how the relationships all began and forming with Undercover Prodigy,

“I actually been a fan (of Hopsin) since like 2011, they were looking for extras in his Crown Me video in 2012. From there I just made it a priority to know Jammie she was his assistant at the time I just made sure she always knew who I was and remembered my face. Time passed I kept getting invited and Hop started noticing me and late last year Jammie popped the question if I wanted to help out on the label working under her I did not hesitate and from there I’ve been building a relationship with everyone there. “ - Avery Harden

What have you learned from theses experiences?

“I have a different mindset when it comes to this music thing, I’m all about my fans! Idc about any other artist that are rocking with me I’m here to Please the fans and the fans only. I would encourage anyone to cherish their fans just as much as the music”

- Avery Harden

IG @averyhardhiphop

We like to give credit where it is due, and you can tell that Avery has been putting in loads of work to accomplish his dreams and make music. He is loyal to his fans and cares about the entire process. From creating 11 + projects, to starting a studio, to working with labels, he has definitely earned his position. We are inviting you to check out his project and decide for yourselves!

“.. I JUST LIKE TO PUSH THE PEACE, LOVE POSITIVITY AGENDA, LOVE YOURSELF AND LOVE PEOPLE AND DON’T BE A DICK HAHA” - AVERY HARDEN

Thank you for tuning in-

"EITHER YOU WORK HARD FOR IT OR YOU DON'T WORK HARD FOR IT"

STLNDRMS

2017 GREATLY WELCOMES @STLNDRMS (<---STLNDRMS.COM):  "beat maker/Ex Power Ranger", (stlndrms.com/bio)**. "Libra, Likes long walks thru the city, favorite foods- Canned Beans, Sticky Rice, and Vegan Brownies. Favorite Color-Blue. Horrible Skater. Host of Beats+Chill  , Maker of Wavy Sounds, Spreader of Love" (stlndrms.com/bio)**.

RAREFLAVR.COM had an opportunity to ask STLNDRMS some questions and learn more about himself and projects he has out currently and what he plans for the future.

DON'T LEAVE YOUR DRUMS AROUND STLNDRMS!

VIDEO BELOW- SOURCE

YOUTUBE- CHILLHOP

 The Process of making hip-hop beats or any other form of modern music through technology typically involves a production process. Hip-Hop beats are typically made with kits, sounds, external instruments, and or samples from vinyl or previously recorded tracks which are produced on a new track and layered with more tracks. This way you can bring music to life and add your own sound. The name STLNDRMS comes from his specialty to find the right quality drums from records and make them his own! 

 The chill vibe and rarity of the music is what was intriguing for us to feature and we learned that STLNDRMS has been making beats for over 10 years. He currently hosts his own show on his  facebook page called Beats+Chill. Also, he has been seen hosting on the up and coming website/show/beatconnect called Chillhop.  

 The Samples he enjoys to use the most are from a genre of the 60's called,  Brazilian Soul  because of the groove and mellow vibes that it creates #RAREFLAVR. As far as his specialty on the drums he prefers the sounds and liking of Al Green.

"As far as drums I always liked the drums on al green records...they have some mojo to them man..." -STLNDRMS

Currently He drops about two tapes per month, so be on the lookout and follow his bandcamp, instagram, facebook, twitter, and  youtube  ! Right now has his new tape out called, 'BLUE STREET' . We asked him about the title and he explained that he has lived in Japan and there was a strip he walked almost every morning called blue street. It seems a lot of his inspiration comes from cityscapes. If you view his instagram you can see images of the city vibe and it seems to play a part in his life. 

 Along with music he used to be a freelance photographer and explained that he enjoyed to take a piece of the landscape and turn it into something of your own creatively. He uses the same aspect and method for inspiration in his music as well.

LISTEN TO 'BLUE STREET' BY STLNDRMS

Blue Street is a tape that definitely captures his type of sound and can be perfect for all types of listeners. From the sample of the motivational young man on youtube on "Work", to a quote from American Gangster by Denzel Washington on "Nobody", and a quote from Dr. Lara Boyd on "Neuroplasticity"  there is a wide variety of influence and sound.

We asked about the fashion world and as far as fashion goes he mentioned, "90% GoodWill" .  Also he mentioned a clothing line titled, Aliens Worldwide which is dropping on February 25th, 2017 owned and operated by one of his friends which you can link up with below.

Artist Snapshot: CLUTCHBOY KUMA (@CLUTCHBOYKUMA)

Being reliable is a skill and @Clutchboykuma has delivered. Combining worlds in music is a challenge and we found Clutchboy Kuma does just that. #RareFlavr had a chance to interview Kuma to learn about his influences, creative process, and goals for the future in collaborations.

   Akuma known as "clutchboy" and Kuma grew up in Nigeria West Africa and now lives in Maryland and Newark, Delaware. He moved to the east coast and was given the name "Clutchboy" Kuma for his reliability and clutch-ness. Throughout high school he started making music and enjoyed listening to a variety of artists including: Lil' Wayne, Drake, Led Zeppelin, Travis Scott, Kanye West, Sisqo, Aaliyah, and anything Timbaland had a credit on. #RareFlavr noticed a tone to his music  , which seems very cinematic, mood induced, and creative.  

Please Press Play in Browser, Listen, and Continue Article Below

Kuma's interest in movies a big are a big influencer on his creative process; Ranging from the likings of Movie soundtracks including Transformers and Gladiator. His favorite movies include The Godfather, The Matrix, Oldboy, and Inception; a diverse catalog hence the title of his instrumental album, Mood Swings . Kuma mentioned, "Mood swings reflects my new transition in sound design. I want my music to be able to change and reflect the moods of the listeners as well as the producer." 

 The melodies and harmonies of his music stems from his African roots, but as far as the artwork and connection the history and culture of Baltimore plays a big part. The process of writing lyrics starts from observation and gaining intelligence reading. On the structure of songs, he takes a big credit in Orchestral Movie Soundtracks. Currently he uses some of his favorite programs/equip. to produce including:  FL studio, Cubase, Abelton, Akai Mini Keyboards, and Moog Analog Synthesizers. Overall,  he mentioned the importance of being consistent, adaptive, and open to new ideas are what will help him always connect with the people who listen to his music. 

 Currently he has several projects open to collaborate on. Kuma is looking for artists open to new creative ideas without a genre. Artists that can bring consistency,lyricism, talent and the "90s bounce" combined with sounds of the future. . Overall, his goal is to change the way we interpret music.

Went to LA to do some music!

Follow @thephronetic on instagram or click picture

The Phronetic (22) young producer was born in Bogota Columbia, now living in Brooklyn, New York. A Little over a year ago he decided to start taking music more seriously after making his first songs as a rapper when he was 13 years old. He recently had an opportunity to fly out to LA producing a custom beat for a group of musicians and is now open for sale of his beats online (www.thephronetic.com) . His name The Phronetic comes from the ancient Greek word "Phronesis" , which is a term for "practical wisdom". The Phronetic mentioned, "It is a state of being where one knows how to act with virtue in practical, every day situations." He also mentioned in our interview" I always strive to reach that state of being so I decided to call myself the Phronetic to symbolize my journey to Phronesis." This was pretty impressive. As of May 2016, he has graduated college and is now a full time producer. His current goal is to climb up the ranks in NYC collaborating with artists such as: Dave East, Pro Era, and Nyck Caution. Later in his career, he would love to work with artists like J.Cole and Logic. As for other producers he wants to work with talent in the realms of: Beats by J Black, OddKidOut, and Freddie Joachim.  For his setup he uses: Macbook Pro, Logic Pro X, JBL LSR 305, Akai MPD32, MXLV67G microphone with a CAD reflection Filter, the M Audio M Track Plus, and the M Audio Keystation 88. As far as fashion The Phronetic is a fan of Mishka and Vans Shoes, and Supreme, but most of his money is to be preferred back into music. He is a fan of dope music and you can purchase his beats on his website: www.thephronetic.com
