Goddess Jones is Back!!!!

 

For Immediate Release:  

 

 

 

 

Tenacity Radio Welcomes The Return of Goddess Jones And Her Love Jones Experience 

Fans of independent radio show are excited over a hiatus’ end

 

Atlanta, Ga. (May. 2015) How do you measure the importance of soul music? For some, it's always the depth of the lyrics; mere content with an unrelenting ability to plug into the listener's heart and proceed to inject the equivalent of medicinal emotion and subsequent nostalgia. Conversely, others may find escapism in the melody's construct; that thing that grants momentary euphoria only when the body is moving and in accordance with the rhythmic frequency of the composition. How about the total package? Others would say that achieving the delicate balance of both is what is most important for it validates the skill of the artist. 

 

 

Now what if I told you that The Love Jones Experience radio show speaks directly to and celebrates all of these sensibilities and best of all, its back! 

 

 

With new perspectives on love and life, new co-hosts, and the intent of providing an unparalleled experience for the listenership, the show is sure to meet and quite possibly exceed what the existing audience has come to expect. And as usual, the discussions will be entertaining and relevant and the showcased artists will exemplify the definition of "talent".  

 

 

So, it is with sincere revel and excitement that we invite you to share in the return of Goddess Jones and The Love Jones Experience, every Tuesday from 8 to 10pm (est) beginning on May 12th, only on tenacityradio.com

 

 

-End-

TCOHHL_RADIO Debuts On WWW.TenacityRadio.Com Tomorrow 8pm est

Hip Hop Fantasy/Sci-Fi Literary Series Expands Reach With Radio




The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend Radio Looks to Provide An Experience for its Listenership

Brooklyn, NYC (April. 2015) - The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend Radio Show (TCOHHL_Radio) provides a listening experience that encompasses its own interpolated version of arguably the single most important phrase ever to be coined concerning the intent of the culture of Hip Hop; "[Knowledge ], Peace, Love, Unity, and Having Fun".

Serving as a strategic extension of The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend brand, Chaz Staton, Ishmael Street, and D.D. Turner regards this foray into radio as an opportunity to share their reverent regard for the culture, while offering recognition to Legends and future legends alike. And understanding that Rap music, being the soundtrack of the culture, is subject to a generational interpretation that is largely structured by the respective members of that generation, the radio show intends on taking what D.D. Turner refers to as a "Jump Generation" approach to the way in which the show programs its music selections.

"Chaz, Ishmael, and I spoke programming and we agreed that the approach would be to always allow the show's music programming to tell the history of Hip Hop. From break beats to Joey Badass/ProEra back to Rakim to Sage The Gemini, we'll have every fathomable Hip Hop palette covered. And because of our independence, never will there be any big corporation restrictions interrupting the flow or intent of our format. If you were fortunate enough to experience underground Hip Hop radio in the early 90's, we are, in some ways, attempting to recapture and provide that feeling."

In addition to music programming that will reflect the culture's 40 plus year history, the show will provide exposure for up and coming artists to its audience of more than 30k listeners via the use of aggregated distribution offered by the hosting network, TenacityRadio.com. Secondary distribution in the form of pod - cast conversion will also be used for the purpose of sharing show archives.

But the show's approach to music selection is not what will make it unique, nor will the interviews, dialogue, or exposure opportunities that it will afford its quests. Interestingly enough, The Chronicles of Hip Hop Legend Radio Show is a derivative venture of The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend literary series; the 1st Hip Hop Fantasy/Sci-Fi multi-installment literary series. 

By leveraging the same boundless creativity expressed in the literary series, the team is extremely focused on creating an undeniable listening experience for its listenership.

"What makes this opportunity so dope is that we have an additional platform for sharing lit series developments and chapter details as they are unfolding," D.D Turner stated.

"Also, because of our decision to option the audiobook method for each installment's release, we can share selections with the listening audience," he continued.

As it masterfully achieves in its literary series, The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend Radio Show (#TCOHHL_Radio) is sure to take the listener on a journey; a journey that will not only offer a purposeful and sincere recognition of Hip Hop's Legends, but also, evoke the pleasant memories of nostalgia that can only be achieved by the melodic beckoning of music. And while all of this is unfolding, you just might find yourself captivated by stimulating and entertaining dialogue regarding current topics.

This is the place where true Hip Hop legends are celebrated and the pursuit of legend status is nurtured. This is, TCOHHL_Radio, where we’re, Always ALL About The Culture.

Ellene Masri Goddess Jones Pick of the Month

Who is Ellene Masri? Check here out as Goddess Jones pick of the month. 


“When I first sat down and listened to Ellene Masri’s debut album entitled “Music” I found myself almost immediately facing a dilemma. Despite my propensity for skipping to the next track on almost everything I ever come across for the first time, I was so captivated by the tabala in the opening song “Secret Lover” that I just had to listen to the whole track. Despite it’s obvious commercial appeal, it has a certain quality that suggest a degree of artistic integrity, that is sadly not so prevalent in theses times of fast food, disposable electronics and computer generated music.



Nonetheless I got to the second track with every intention to have a quick listen and skip on. But alas, my dilemma! The next track was equally as captivating but for very different reasons. Despite my itchy mouse - wanting so desperately to do what it does and drive me to the next track - I just couldn’t move it on. I was hooked. Track two “Lonely Girl” draws you into Ellene Masri’s world. A place where even the trees form part of the ensemble. But as it went on and on, track after track, I felt incapable of doing what I do. I just could not skip.When I got to track five “Music” the title track of the album, I resigned myself to just kicking back and letttin’ it flow until the end. Skipping is just not an option on an album like this.

 

When Ellene broke into the sweet tones and sublime melody of this aptly titled track, I was faced with yet another dilemma! Is her voice ‘velvet,’ ‘satin’ or ‘silk?’ Someone please research which one of those three is the smoothest and apply that to Ellene Masri. The last time I got this excited about a smooth jazz album it was Corrine Bailey Rae’s debut, before that I think it was Anita Baker’s “Sweet Love”. So when Chris Phillips designated Ellene’s debut album as “Album of the Week” on Jazz fm, I found myself thinking actually it’s my album of the decade.”
