Rising Artist: YOSHI "Listen Up"

HIP Video Promo presents the latest music video from the one and only Yoshi. This talented hip-hop artist and songwriter from Michigan expresses contemporary elements of well-known artists such as Common, Lupe Fiasco, and The Roots while blending power driven MC styles that speak truths about the current state of the world. His positive hip-hop and alternative genre of music creates an atmospheric vibe that constitutes his latest video “Listen Up.”

Originating from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Yoshi expanded his passion for music as one of Metro Detroit’s most creative and talented artists. At the mere age of fourteen, he put pen to paper as a poet. At seventeen, he stole hearts at local poetry slams throughout Michigan, and today he continues to innovate his fans as he establishes himself as Michigan’s premier MC. He has described himself as a “professional inspirational rapper with many years under my belt. I enjoy creating unique music that nourishes the mind, body, and soul,” and that is exactly what Yoshi expresses in his well-manicured and affluent sound. With countless tracks available for free on Soundcloud.com, Yoshi delivers fresh beats that erupt from his old-soul style. Forget everything you knew about hip-hop because Yoshi is rewriting the rules of the game!

Armed with an arsenal of soulful hip-hop tracks, this artist on the rise of fame has already created a number of mix-tapes, EPs and full-length albums, not to mention the establishment of a unique sound, soul, and style. Songs such as “Black Plague” feature old school beats while he spits a flow that can be compared to the all-encompassing artist known as Mos Def. His last single, “Magnetic” conquered the charts across the world, inviting fans from Canada and the Czech Republic with welcoming arms. The mass appeal has landed his hits on FUSE TV On-Demand, Okayplayer, URB Magazine’s Top 1,000, the Ann Arbor News, and Kaboom Magazine. His most recent video “Listen Up” encompasses all of the above, and HIP Video Promo is proud to introduce the clip. Shot and directed by Alexander Falk, “Listen Up” demands the attention of the world’s most important contemporaries—the citizens of the nation.

A delicate offering to his true love in hopes of mending a broken heart ..... Jeff M. Dixon

Jeff M. Dixon is able to immediately captivate an audience with his charisma and electrifying stage presence. HIP Video Promo recognized this true vocalist and over all entertainer as an artist who can completely inspire and recreate those most beloved classic R&B elements that artists such as Usher and R Kelly have done so well to create. In his most recent music video “My Baby,” this persona and vibe is emanated by catapulting images of successful choreography and empowering vocal performances.

Dixon was influenced at an early age by a multitude of entertaining artists that came before him such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. However, Jeff’s ability to add silky smooth styles of choreography blending jazz, hip-hop, pop-lockin’ dance moves, and expression into his well-framed performance ability adds a certain spice of flavor to this rising star. Live performances showcase Dixon’s musical gifts as a true musician, yet all the while he captivates his audience with live guitar leads and keyboard licks.

Jeff’s main passion in life is the creation of his music, and he believes in finding new and innovative ways to truly entertain his fans. His music is more than just what we call a song and dance—his audience always feels the energy and genuine talent being brought before them throughout any performance. With these energetic skills and high-volume movements, Jeff M. Dixon’s stardom has nowhere else to go but forward. No matter the size of the venue, be it large or small, Dixon’s performances have been said to always be “intimate, leaving his audience feeling that they have been truly entertained.” His latest video clip “My Baby” encompasses all of these lasting elements, and HIP Video Promo proudly presents them to you with incredulous honor.
