French Quarter Festival In New Orleans is BACK!

6/16/2021

As New Orleans makes its comeback, fall 2021 will deliver nearly a year’s-worth of events in a few short months. At the City's request, FQFI organizers have consolidated festival activities into an action-packed three-days in order allow the city to focus its security and safety resources on the New Orleans Saints home game on Sunday, October 3.

FQFI has shifted programming in order to maximize the concentrated schedule and present time-honored festival traditions, stages, and performances. The event will bring regional cuisine from more than 50 local restaurants, hundreds of Louisiana musicians on 19 stages, and special events that celebrate New Orleans’ diverse, unique culture. The festival will operate from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Thursday, September 30 through Saturday, October 2.

ATLANTA RAPPER DAMEZ IS BACK WITH NEW EP 'COVERBOY'

6/3/2021

Source: CR8

Multi-faceted emerging Atlanta artist Damez has just released his highly-anticipated fifth project. The EP showcases Damez's East Atlanta roots and offers trap, up-beat, and turn up vibes just in time for summer. The track list features some bangers such as his hit single "Ate That", twerk anthem "Up Down" and "We Outside" which celebrates the near-end of a deadly pandemic. 'COVERBOY' can be streamed on all major digital outlets now!

The new EP's title was inspired by the many magazines the artist has graced the cover of. The covers include Out Magazine, Atlanta Magazine, Raynbow Affair and Swerve Magazine. He was also featured in Billboard & GayTimes, showcasing his divergent artistry. The lead visual from the EP holds its same name and begins with Damez belting out a touching monologue from the heart; detailing everyday struggles and his desire to keep pushing forward through adversity. It then switches gears as the young star boastfully raps about his career taking off without the assistance of a record deal. He can be seen at the upcoming MOBI FEST performing his popular hits as well as new tracks from 'COVERBOY'.

Damez Coverboy

Damez CoverBoy

"This is the most confident and triumphant I've ever felt. After a really rough 2020, landing those magazine covers really got me back up. Everything on this EP is stylized in all caps because it speaks to that triumph. I want people to feel BIG and confident in themselves when they listen to this new music" he says

One of the EP's key singles, "We Outside" is a track that everyone can enjoy. As CDC restrictions have been lifted, people across the nation are celebrating their freedom to well, be outside. Full of metaphors and strategic word play, this track simply boosts your confidence while simultaneously exciting you to celebrate making it through a global pandemic.

"I am the one, I ain't coming in second. I tell him pull up, he'll be here in a second. Fuck on your face while I'm counting my blessings. Leave me the money then I leave an impression," he raps.
