MTV’s hot reality show “Jersey Shore” featured a song by up-and-coming rap music artist Skiddalz when it kicked off its second season this week. If you haven’t heard of Skiddalz yet, you’re not alone, but the rapper is making a big impression on the music world. Skiddalz, who hails from St. Louis, isn’t your typical rapper.
In an interview with St. Louis Today, she says she’s “bringing a new voice, a fat white girl.”

Rap Music Is For Everyone

If Skiddalz offers one thing to the rap music industry (besides some outstanding raps) is the idea that rap music is big enough to break through the stereotypes that have grown up in rap music about who rap musicians are. The art form isn’t exclusive to one gender or one race; anyone with a story to tell, a good rhythm and a good rhyme can become the next rap star – even a self-described “fat white girl” like Skiddalz.

So, after you listen to Skiddalz, and know that she got her start on Unsigned.com, what are you waiting for? What is your story? How are your rhymes?

If you really want to tell your story and make it happen (did I mention that Skiddalz has licensed several of her songs to MTV for use in their programming?), you need a few tools in your toolkit. One of the tools you don’t want to pass up is Sonic Producer. Sonic Producer allows you to make the beats that mean something to you quickly and professionally.

Rap music artist Ke$ha says she won’t rule out a crossover to country music someday. Ke$ha is a Nashville native and grew up listening to country music.

The medical director for the Long Island Railroad (LIRR), Dr. John Clarke, has recorded a rap music video designed to help riders get on and off the trains safely. The nearly four-minute public service announcement (PSA) instructs riders on safety measures they can take to help avoid personal injury while riding on the organization’s trains. Dr. Clarke stars in the rap music video and delivers several key messages about the potential dangers of entering and exiting train cars.

Rap May Help Reduce Rider Injuries

Since 2007, the LIRR has reduced the number of riders who were injured by falling into “the gap” the space between the rider platform and the train car. The railroad attached additional fittings to help reduce the size of the gap, but with the rap video, the LIRR is hoping to reduce the number even farther.

This is not the first PSA rap music video that Dr. Clarke has made. He also made public service videos about psoriasis and the H1N1 flu virus. Clarke’s H1N1 video won the Department of Health and Human Service’s Flu Prevention Video PSA Contest in 2009 and has been viewed nearly one-quarter of a million times on YouTube.

L’il Wayne’s latest beat making music will be released on September 27, nearly two months before the artist himself is released from Riker’s Island prison in New York. L’il Wayne’s manager, Cortez Bryant, says a new EP entitled I Am Not A Human Being, will hit the rap music scene on L’il Wayne’s birthday. I Am Not A Human Being is part of L’il Wayne’s next album, Tha Carter IV. Tha Carter IV was originally planned for release in 2009, however its release was put on hold following the rapper’s arrest on a weapon’s charge. Weezy began serving his one-year sentence following two delays. He is expected to serve eight months of the 12-month sentence and should be released in November.

Weezy Vows To Work On His Music While In Prison

Tha Carter IV is a much-anticipated followup to Tha Carter III, a rap music album for which the rapper earned four Grammy awards, including Best Rap Album. Tha Carter III was also the best-selling rap music album in 2008. In February, L’il Wayne released another rap album, entitled Rebirth, and joined Eminem on No Love, a track from Eminem’s newly released Recovery album.

Before entering Riker’s Island, L’il Wayne told his fans that he would continue to work on his music while he was incarcerated, and intended to return with several new rap songs. Recording any new rap music will have to wait until he’s released, however. L’il Wayne is largely segregated from the other prisoners in the facility and has limited access to visitor.
