Do It For Charity

Morra DeRey & The Heavy Quarterz has composed a song titled Ixilongo (The wake up call) which they have chosen to be released as a single promo for a social responsibility campaign. The aim was to identify a beneficiary within the community of the Vaal Triangle to adopt and fundraise for.

On the 26TH of December, Morra DeRey & HQ, held an event in the Vaal Triangle, South Africa that was a proud moment for them and as well what a worthy cause that will benefit those less fortunate than you and I. The day was a day of music, dance, poetry but above all, a day of Giving.

Taking a stand and helping our fellow man is not only self fulfilling but shows that as a people we still maintain UBUNTU.

All proceeds of the sale of this ep will be passed on to the relevant charity.

Keys by S. S Bonga & B.Sibisi (Jazzulu)

Priss – On My Way (Incl. Ricone, Rancido & PolyRhythm Remixes) [Offering] {promo}

release date: Feb/24/2011

preview



Offering new sensation, produced by Boddhi Satva & Atjazz

Priss was introduced by Jack Kabamba (CEO of JMoney Ent.) to Boddhi Satva early 2010 to initially work on One single. After the first day of recording, He knew this would not be the only piece of music he would be writing with her. He sent what he had written of the song to Atjazz who absolutely loved the atmosphere and vibe of the original that he indeed took this song even further to heights that only he has the secret. This collabo between Atjazz & Boddhi together with the amazing talent of Priss has given birth to the wonderful ON MY WAY.

The single Includes remixes by Offering favorite Ricone, as well as future Offering artists Dutch sensation Rancido and NYC up & comers PolyRhythm.

About Priss:

Priss was born in 1984 in Kinshasa (DRC).
Her family had to leave her mother land in 1991 because of the war. This journey took her and her family to Belgium where she pursued her education in medicine. She always felt the frustration of not being able to be accomplished in her first passion, Singing. She began singing at the church as a young girl and she was already noticed for her vocal tone and melodic ability’s. During this journey in Belgium, she joined an Acoustic band that was playing Hip Hop which allowed her to be out there, on her own vocally for the first time. She was soon noticed by Dj Kost who at the time and until now remains one of France’s most popular R&B and Hip Hop Deejays.

Priss was quickly signed to his label Hit Trackerz to record her first musical piece entitled Num?ro 1 dans la Ville in english Number 1 in Town. Supported by NRJ Radio which is the biggest Mainstream radio in France and Belgium, her single is ranked in third position in the Radio’s Charts.

Shortly after that she was blessed with the birth of her son whom then made her stronger and helped her realise that it was time to move to the next chapter and bring her perspective on music with soul. Whether she sings in English, French or Lingala, she try to translate into lyrics her understanding of the world as she goes to each stage of it one step at a time.

Currently working on her debut album produced by Boddhi, Atjazz and a few other surprise guests producers, expect her to be One vocalist to makes a decisive move in the game with a true and raw talent.
