Q&A WITH STRAIGHT OFFICIAL

How did you get started in music?
My father would play records and let me dig through the crates.

Who did you listen to growing Up?
I listened to Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, James Brown & Michael Jackson. He was my biggest influence. Rap music took over and I listened to Kool G Rap Rakim & KRS-One. I moved to Long Beach and listened to Snoop Dogg, The Dogg Pound, DJ Quik, NWA, Eazy-E and Tupac.

How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard you?
I’m like Snoop Dogg Jay z Jeezy and Young Dolph all mixed together.

What is your new song Summa about?
It’s about paying homage to the city I grew up in and the city I was raised in (Compton & Long Beach). I wanted to pay homage to the greats that came before me. (Snoop and Dre).

What are your plans for the rest of 2022?
Well, honestly, it’s to continue to create records doing what I love to do which is rap. I want to create more influence and cut through some of this clutter by marketing and promoting myself.

What are something that people don’t know about you. Do you have any hidden talents?
Yeah, I cook very well. My street dudes can understand what I mean. I’m something like a professional chef.

Do you have any shout outs?
Yeah, I want to shout out my God most importantly. Without God I be nowhere. I want to shout out my family and fans. They’re my major support system. Y’all got me here. This one’s for you!!

RAY LIOTTA has passed away. Confirming multiple news reports, the acclaimed actor passed while on location in the Dominican Republic. TMZ reports that while shooting a movie titled “Dangerous Waters” that he died in his sleep. Liotta was 67 years old.

Sources close to Liotta also claim that his fiancée was with him during the filming. There has been no reports of foul play nor any other suspicious accusations surrounding this story.

Ray’s Sketch of Life

Liotta was one of Hollywood’s hardest working stars. While known for several roles, his most memorable role was starring in “Goodfellas” alongside Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci as mobster Henry Hill. Another unforgettable performance was in the iconic film “Field of Dreams” and his portrayal of Shoeless Joe Jackson.

Liotta had countless films under his belt including “Cop Land”, “Corrina Corinna” and “Blow” where he played alongside Johnny Depp as Fred Jung, the father to Depp’s character George Jung. It was this role that was a personal favorite of mine. The heart-wrenching scene produced one of the film’s most memorable quotes.

Ray was a devoted father and husband. He most recently celebrated his engagement to Jacy Nittolo via social media. Liotta leaves her and his daughter Karsen Liotta, who is also following in her father’s footsteps to mourn his loss.

Straight Official Magazine offers our prayers and condolences to the Liotta family as well as his peers and his fans.

on ArtistStraight Official MagazineVideo add comment

When it’s time to take center stage with your first drop of the year, you might as well do it with the question of the century.

Atlanta native, artist and producer NLG YB is back with his latest hip-hop offering “When You Gone Let Me“. For his first track of 2022, he joins forces with 3k Towjo for the Kyduh produced summer anthem. The melodic hi-tempo bop finds NLG YB and 3k Towjo in conversation mode and sets the tone for one hell of a return.

No stranger to hit making, the multi-talented artist/producer has contributed production to artists such as Lil Baby, Lil Keed, Ralo and more; crediting his music influence to the likes of T.I. and Gucci Mane.

With promises of more releases of his own due later this year, the Last One Standing Music Group (LOS) artist gifts us with edgy, yet chill visuals to accompany the undeniable banger. Check out the official video for “When You Gon Let Me” below and stream the single, available now on all platforms.

Akademy Records Releases new video by Bae Gii for the single ‘On You’

on Music Videos add comment

​R&B fans want that old thing back, and Bae Gii is going to give it to them. Her new release ‘On You’ produced by Mini on the Boards, don’t we just love when the sounds of R&B and Hip-Hop merge? It’s always the perfect verse over a tight beat.

​If you think R&B is dead, think twice. Bae Gii is a former girl group rapper turn singer, and is emerging as one of R&B’s saviors and will soon be joining the ranks of R&B’s next generation. R&B’s freshman cohort is breathing life back into the fading genre and Bae Gii is at the top of her class. Reminiscent of 90s R&B in its prime, she is all we loved about it. A little bit of edge, all the soul, and the perfect mixture of rhythm + blues. Her new single ‘On You’ has already generated quite the buzz, and fans are highly anticipating her accompanying video release.

​Bae Gii is what R&B fans have been longing for, with her sultry voice and unique style she is sure to revitalize the genre. She is the missing piece, and her fans can vouch. With her popularity growing, and music being streamed on all major platforms Bae Gii will soon be a household name dominating the R&B charts. Get hip.

About Bae Gii:

Gianni Chatman better known as Bae Gii is a Pop R&B singer, songwriter and actress. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts she now resides in Atlanta, Georgia. At 16, she formed the girl group B.O.Y. an acronym for Be Only You. B.O.Y used their music to spread love, positivity, and to address bullying. The group signed to AkademyRecords but later disbanded. Bae Gii is now focused on her solo career and will add to her growing list of accomplishments. She has opened for Lil Kim, performed at Birthday Bash Atlanta, and toured nation-wide. She released her first single in 2019, and later won best new artist in 2021 with Meet The Underdogs.
