About Saxkboy KD

Saxkboy KD ignites a blaze amidst new hip-hop hopefuls. His melodic drawl, a familiar but rebellious rendition of Deep South storytelling, is reminiscent of the late 80s legends of “Dirty Souf” rappers UGK.

High stepping into manhood, Saxkboy KD has already lived a life that rivals most urban fiction. Born at the family reunion in Jasper, Texas, he was destined to be a musically inclined child rocking front porches and living rooms since he was seven while vibing with family and friends to old school RnB hits and soul jams. Some of Saxkboy KD’s earliest Hip-Hop influences were already legends, including Ice Cube & Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, and the Wu-Tang Clan. Their lyrics began to hold new, meaning as Saxkboy KD’s life hit hardest during adolescence.

Before life had truly begun, he was burdened with felony charges when he was just 17 years old. Raised in the streets of Houston’s impoverished hoods, Saxkboy KD experienced a deeper, darker version of “getting it out the mud.” Bracing the responsibility to provide a better life for his family by any means necessary, Saxkboy KD focused on honing his skill and toning his craft. The soulful sounds of RnB sirens like Fantasia, Keyshia Cole, and Beyonce helped him find peace and direction in the hellish “hood” he experienced spending his formative years in prison. Those closest to him, including his elder sister, Yazmyn, encouraged him to focus on his gift of writing to tell his own story.

Released from prison at age 18 and on house arrest, KD was crowned “The Opportunity” by his closest friends and focused on writing while stuck in the house, away from trouble. He had found his voice and set out to tell his story. Back outside in 2021, determined to develop a recording career, Saxkboy KD connected with local Houston rapper, Lil 3rd and started attending showcases and cyphers around town. He received a beat from a childhood friend with similar aspirations and created his first underground hit “Bipolar Depression.” While promoting this project, Saxkboy KD was introduced to Versatile Enterprises’ CEO and founder, SWAC. This union resulted in the creation of 54 songs in 21 days and an introduction to Cash Money Records and the official signing of their first Houston artist.

Loud Luxury × DVBBS × Kane Brown

Global dance music duo Loud Luxury and Canadian brothers DVBBS team up with multi-platinum entertainer Kane Brown to release their new single “Next To You” viaUltra Records/Sony Music Nashville/RCA Records. The upbeat, infectious offering is driven by bursts of synths laced effortlessly with Kane’s soulful vocals. “Next To You” showcases a vibrant collaboration that blends each artist’s distinct styles into one powerhouse single.

Loud Luxury shares, “”Next To You” is a very special song to us. Between taking almost 3 years to perfect it and wanting to do a song with the boys from DVBBS since we all started DJing in Toronto back in the day, it’s been a labor of love. Kane is easily one of the most unique voices in not just country, but in all of music right now. It’s an honor to create something that blends our sound with him. This is the perfect soundtrack for a night to remember with the ones you love and seeing where it takes you.”

DVBBS says, “The minute Kane sent us the demo vocal of “Next To You” we knew this was going to be a special song. Excited to be working with our hometown brothers Loud Luxury together with Kane Brown on this.”

About Loud Luxury:

Loud Luxury is a Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based international touring dance music duo, composed of Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace. The group was formed while attending Western University, where after several independent releases and remixes, their career took off with the smash hit “Body.” The song is certified Diamond in Canada and multi-Platinum across 9 countries, accumulating over 1.5 billion streams across all platforms. Since then, the duo released “Love No More” and “I’m Not Alright” (with Bryce Vine) totaling over 400 million streams.

About Kane Brown:

Named as one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world, Brown has ascended from social media notability to become one of country music’s most accomplished mainstays with eight chart-topping singles to his name. Noted as “the future of country music” (Billboard), Brown first broke onto the scene with the arrival of his self-titled, 2X Platinum debut album (2016), where he became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard ’s main country charts simultaneously. His debut effort, Kane Brown, topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 13 weeks and garnered 7X Platinum-certified hits “Heaven” and “What Ifs”-the fourth and seventh most-streamed country songs of all time (U.S. Nielsen Country On-Demand Streams chart). With the release of his follow-up album Experiment (2018), Brown became the only male country artist in more than 24 years to have his sophomore album debut at the top of the Billboard 200.

Following Experiment, Brown released his multi-song project Mixtape Vol. 1 – which earned Brown an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year (2021) and an ACM win for “Video of the Year.” A CMA, ACM, Billboard, AMA and People’s Choice Award nominee, Brown has collaborated with numerous artists including Grammy and Academy Award winning singer-songwriter H.E.R.

Jonas Brothers – Wings

Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated powerhouse trio Jonas Brothers return with their anxiously-awaited new single “Wings,” out now via Republic Records—listen to “Wings” HERE. “Wings” launches a new era for the band and is the first single from their sixth full-length record—and one of the most anticipated releases of the year—The Album, out May 12^th.

The new song is released alongside the official music video featuring actress and self-proclaimed Jonas Brothers fan Haley Lu Richardson [White Lotus]. Shot in Las Vegas and directed by Josh Rimmey and Zach Williams, the feel-good video includes an impromptu hotel room dance party and surprise cameo by the Jonas Brothers themselves—watch HERE.

Kicking off another chapter, The Album marks Jonas Brothers’ first body of work since 2019’s Platinum-Certified Happiness Begins, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the GRAMMY® Award-nominated, 5x-Platinum, Billboard Hot 100 #1 smash hit “Sucker.” Pre-order/Pre-save The Album now HERE.

Executive produced by sonic visionary artist Jon Bellion [Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Halsey], “Wings” revs up with shimmering keys, as it embraces late 70’s pop with thick bass, hummable synth runs, and heavenly harmonies. Wrapped up with lush guitar, a head-nodding beat, and no shortage of fiery falsetto, it culminates on the instantly chantable chorus “You are the wings I need to fly away.” The band began teasing the song on socials last month to online chatter and debuted it in full for the very first time last weekend at their “Jonas Brothers: Live in Las Vegas” residency.

The Jonas Brothers said, “‘Wings’ is the perfect start to this new chapter for us. Working with Jon pushed us to explore our artistry in a way we never have before. The song is a great first taste of that creative exploration and what’s to come with THE ALBUM.”

Jon Bellion chimed in, saying, “We wanted to wipe the palette clean and demolish every expectation and box the brothers have ever been put into out the gate. We pushed ourselves to launch this thing musically into space while grounding it in a sort of Americana / Laurel Canyon nostalgia. There was a time when structure and composition mattered not only loops and vibes, and we dove into that mind frame. We went so deep into the spirit and energy of the late 70’s, the mustaches and long hair method acting approach started to just become our actual reality. The brothers have a God given ability and talent that deserves this level of record making at this point, and I just wanted to honor how special they are with this music.”

Jonas Brothers notably wrote and recorded The Album with Bellion at the helm. Together, they unlocked the next level for the band, embracing formative influences and igniting their sound from every angle. They delivered an unpredictable, undeniable, and unstoppable record uplifted by their inimitable chemistry and endless creativity.

This is The Album. This is Jonas Brothers in 2023.

ABOUT JONAS BROTHERS
Jonas Brothers lean on an unbreakable familial bond to elevate pop music. Standing out as one of the most successful groups of the 21^st century, New Jersey-born brothers—Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas—have sold north of 20 million albums and counting, garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, earned 25 Billboard Hot 100 hits, logged three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200, and generated billions of streams. Among many accolades, they’ve claimed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and headlined legendary venues on both coasts, including Madison Square Garden in New York and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. In 2019, they notably ignited the comeback of the decade with their Platinum-Certified Republic Records debut, Happiness Begins. It yielded the history-making, 5x-Platinum smash “Sucker,” which minted them as “the first group in the 21^st century to debut at #1 on the Hot 100,” exploded as the “longest running #1 Pop Airplay Single of 2019,” and received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” Bowing at #1 on the Billboard 200, Happiness Begins impressively scored the “biggest sales week of 2019 at time of release” and housed the Double-Platinum “Only Human” and platinum “Cool.” The band supported the album with the worldwide “Happiness Begins Tour”—selling over 1.2 million tickets—and the Amazon Original documentaries Chasing Happiness and Happiness Continues. Along the way, the members simultaneously juggled prolific solo careers. However, nothing quite matches their union as Jonas Brothers, and it powers their 2023 full-length The Album, produced by Jon Bellion and introduced by the single “Wings.”

Paris Jackson – Bandaid

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, and activist paris jackson unveils her new single “bandaid” out today via Republic Records—listen HERE.

Drawing influences from 90’s grunge and alternative, the spirited anthem was sonically inspired by Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, and Nirvana and lyrically inspired by Andy Hull and Conor Oberst. It follows her critically acclaimed 2022 singles “just you” and “lighthouse.” Last fall, paris debuted “bandaid” live for the first time with a stripped-back, acoustic performance for SPIN—watch it HERE.

Of the song, paris says, “this is the type of music i used to dream of making myself when i was 14 discovering nirvana and pixies for the first time. lyrically it’s the most raw and vulnerable i’ve ever been in any of my songs. it’s the first track i’ve truly let loose and yelled on in the studio, which you can hear in the third chorus, and i feel like that’s why it had to be the title track for my next record.”

She continues, “i’m grateful to have also started producing, and simon oscroft has been the perfect partner to do that with after having learned everything i know from andy and Rob in the studio previously. i’m also deeply honored by my good friend anthony salazar, who, when i said, ‘hit those drums harder than Tommy Lee on wild side,’ did just that. i hope there are people out there that get from it what i got from albums like “i’m wide awake, it’s morning” by bright eyes, a record that truly made me feel heard and understood from the inside out.”

paris is currently on tour with The Silversun Pickups across North America—see the upcoming dates below. Last year, she hit the road with The Revivalists, Courteeners, and Royal & the Serpent, in addition to performing her own headline shows in New York and Los Angeles and making her debut at SXSW and Boston Calling. Not to mention, this summer, she’ll perform at more US festivals, including BottleRock and Bonnaroo.

In 2020, paris delivered her debut album, wilted, joined by collaborators Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra. Upon arrival, it captured #1 on the iTunes US Alternative Albums Chart and incited the applause of NPR, Rolling Stone, Associated Press, Entertainment Weekly, E! News, People, NME, NYLON, Refinery29, WWD, and more. Additionally, she ignited late-night television with an emotionally charged rendition of “let down” on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!. paris remained prolific in 2021 with The Struts’ collaboration “Low Key In Love,” before sharing the lost EP as a surprise gift for her fans in early 2022. Last summer, paris re-introduced herself with an honest and raw signature sound, marked by singles “lighthouse” and “just you.” Inspired by 90’s bands like Weezer and Marvelous 3, “lighthouse” was produced by singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Butch Walker and features Mike McCready of Pearl Jam on guitar. paris debuted the song with an electrifying live performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Why are electric cars getting more expensive?

It is no longer convenient to drive an electric vehicle because its price has increased. Although you can save money on fuel, you will not until you afford an EV. You might never buy an electric car unless you find many income streams, including playing kasyno na telefon games online.

Electric vehicles from Tesla and other companies have always been expensive. Their price is steeper now, thanks to the rising cost of raw materials and other factors. We will explain why buying an electric vehicle is costlier nowadays. Learn more next.

Conducting research is costly

Electric vehicles are a fresh idea requiring further development. Unlike typical combustion engine cars and hybrid vehicles, EVs use different systems. Hence, developing them requires doing expensive research and development projects.

Companies like Tesla and Rivian spend more money on research and development alone. They produce fewer cars and must allocate the higher research and development costs to only those items. Regarding R&D costs, it is cheaper to make a regular hybrid or gasoline/diesel vehicle than an electric one.

Rising costs of raw materials

It costs an electric vehicle producer more money to buy raw materials in 2022 than in 2020. In 2020, the cost of developing an electric vehicle battery was $3.381. Today, the average price of raw materials for making the same battery is $8,255.

A comparable combustion engine car costs 125 percent less to construct. The EV industry buys its raw materials for making battery cells from Russia. Since Russia triggered a war in Ukraine, the price of these battery cells has increased as the supply chains continue to crash.

This leaves the EV producers no choice but to increase their car rates. Tesla has had to raise the price of some of its models by $6,000. Even if gas prices have increased and helped raise the demand for EVs, ordinary income earners may still need their combustion engine vehicles.

EVs are out of reach due to their hefty pricing. According to AlixPartners, we are likely to endure this trend until 2024.

Competition is low

The cost of producing electric vehicles is higher than most small and medium manufacturers can afford. Thus, Tesla, Revian, and Ford might enjoy less rivalry for a long time. Fewer competitors mean higher prices for electric cars. The hefty EV prices might continue until more producers penetrate the EV industry.

Customers are willing to pay more money

When the first electric car emerged, it was expensive. The cars that followed were also expensive. Hence, customers do not expect the price of an EV to be small. Manufacturers take advantage of this perception by raising the cost of their EVs. If some competitors create cheaper electric vehicles, this might help change the customers’ view.

Electric vehicles are expensive to insure

People view EVs as a status symbol. If some of them have the money, they will not hesitate to pay a higher price to improve their status in society. Moreover, an EV is more expensive to insure because of its luxuriousness.

One of the reasons for higher insurance costs is expensive spare parts. Ruining the lithium battery alone could cost you fifteen thousand dollars to replace. Many car thieves would like to lay their hands on a luxury EV, which raises its insurance cost.

Conclusion

For ordinary customers, it is cheaper to buy a regular vehicle than an electric one these days. An EV does not pollute the environment, but it is out of reach for most ordinary buyers. Its cost has almost tripled in only two years and might stay that way for several months.

What Payment Methods Guarantee Safe Online Casino Play?

Online casino sites face some level of battering or outright prejudice attributable to the ignorance of the masses to some extent. Do not get it twisted; casinos have always appeared to be alien to most people, and it is only the other day that some countries began to accept and legalize them. With that said, it is highly probable that very few people are willing to share their confidential banking details while transacting with online casinos. Fortunately, with the legalization of gambling in most jurisdictions, online casinos like https://www.slotozilla-pl.com/pl/metody-platnosci/paysafecard are required to put in place the highest level of encryption technology that secures the gamer’s confidential information. Failure to do so has some serious consequences. Every gamer can now play their favorite game and deposit/withdraw money without any worries.

Choosing the Right Payment Method

Casino owners cannot always have an easy time when deciding on which payment method to adopt for their wide spectrum of clientele. With the high volume of transactions that need to be processed timely, securely, every second, and 24 hours a day, very few payment providers are willing to work with online casinos.

Some of the challenges include the following:

Challenge

Summary

1. Regulatory requirements

online gambling is heavily regulated globally and the provider has to comply with the requirements in your region of operation.

2. High volume transactions

Online gambling is a 24-hour business and users from across the globe transact at any time. A provider is supposed to monitor and honor all transactions without compromising on possible financial risks.

3. Chargeback rates

Fraud attempts are common on online sites and the provider should be able to handle them accordingly.

4. Fraud and Money laundering risk

The payment gateway provider is faced with this issue and regulations require they put in place measures to counter these.

5. Heavy site Traffic

This is a common issue with online casinos. Millions of users will visit the casino and the payment gateway sites and this can be overwhelming.

Choosing the Best-Rated Payment Methods

Online casinos provide various methods of deposit and withdrawal of funds to their users. It is therefore wise to familiarize oneself with the house rules before you commit to being a member of the site. Additionally, the gamer should understand the payment methods that are easy, convenient, and safe for them.

Security and privacy are major concerns for anyone transacting online, including gamblers. In fact, the online casino sector is a primary target for fraud and cyberattacks.

Cases have been reported in the past of some sites losing millions through fraudulent transfers, therefore your safety and privacy come first and these are factors to consider when choosing the right payment method:

Regulatory compliance for online casinos-the ideal payment gateway should comply with your region’s security and financial standards.
Variety of payment channels-with the advancement in tech collaborations across payment channels are a norm. Gamers should be able to transact within and across various payment channels including digital wallets, crypto, wire transfers, and many others.
Turn-around time and Fees-the user will prefer a payment method that is fast and does not charge hefty fees.
Security-an ideal payment method should guarantee the safe keeping of the gamer’s money and confidential data. The provider should be able to secure the funds from fraud and money laundering.

Available Payment Methods for Safe Online Casino Play

On top of the list of the safest and most convenient payment methods for online casinos include:

Crypto-currencies

Most gamers prefer crypto and the reason is apparent. The digital currency has revolutionized global payments. Users do not have to open an account or fill out a form in order to transact. It is particularly one of the best for those who would like to operate anonymously.

Crypto transactions are fast, safe, and provably fair. The currency itself also appreciates in value most of the time, giving an added advantage to the gamer. On the downside, not everyone is familiar with crypto posing the challenge of difficulty in getting the first coin. There is also the risk of losing all your coins if it is sent to the wrong address. Finally, its volatility is an issue crippling crypto.

Virtual Visa Cards

These are comparable to the usual credit and debit cards, but have an expiry date and are prepaid. The cards tend to be worthless once existing funds have been utilized and you will have to buy another one.

With Visa cards being accepted globally this payment method allows gamers to play on top casinos. It can be used in the place of your actual Visa or debit card and hence preferable for anyone who dislikes sharing their card details while transacting online. They are easy to use and safe. Unfortunately, these cards expire and are not ideal for high stakes. You cannot also withdraw huge winnings to a virtual Visa card.

E-wallets

These are the most popular global payment methods. They include PayPal, Skrill, EcoPayz, Neteller, and WebMoney. Many other have come up across the globe and they provide a safe, easy, and convenient way of shopping and gambling online.

Some of the advantages of e-wallets include; being user-friendly, globally accepted, trusted brands, secure, fast, and facilitating deposits and withdrawals. Contrarily, gamers have to incur fees while transacting. They also tend to be extremely strict in terms of compliance.

Voucher Systems

Casino voucher systems are a popular payment method for gamblers since it makes it possible for them to manage their wagering habits. It is one of the best ways of setting a preferred wagering limit.

High-stake games can be tempting and the gamer might end up depleting their savings. The voucher thus serves to restrict the gamer from spending beyond what is set on the voucher.

Other Payment Methods

Online casinos have also put in place some other payment methods for gamers; Bank or wire transfer, Mobile Credits, E-checks, Debit/Credit cards, and Instant transfers.

Conclusion

Options are unlimited when it comes to payment methods that are safe for online casino play. Depositing or cashing out funds from your Europa casino has never been safe, easy, and convenient as it is presently. You can always find the right payment method that will meet your needs. Among the factors to check out include fees, flexibility, security, TAT or turn-around time, and verified reviews.

Reebok and Danielle Guizio unveil the latest capsule collection between the two brands: the GUIZIO x Reebok Club C Cleated. This follows the Club C 85 collaboration from Reebok and Danielle Guizio that debuted in June 2021 and was brought back by popular demand in November 2022.

The GUIZIO x Reebok Club C Cleated utilizes durable construction and advanced technology to provide superior support and comfort even on the toughest terrain. Available in two colorways – Brush Brown (HQ2064) and Harmony Green (HQ2065) – the model features a thick, enduring outsole and a premium suede upper to provide the wearer with a practical and timeless hiking shoe.

The teams at Reebok and Danielle Guizio drew inspiration from the traditional hiking boot and the aspirational idea of reaching your personal peak. This Club C Cleated is meant to inspire the wearer to climb any hurdles they face, featuring a sock liner showing the route to a common destination for us all,
self-actualization.

“It was so important for me to continue this journey from our previous sneaker and reach new meanings that reflect a personal journey,” said Danielle Guizio. “I am eternally grateful for the partnership with Reebok and have enjoyed developing our collaboration further. I wanted this new model to be a continuation of the story developed with our past model and relate back to human nature and self-reflection. With the previous collection telling its story of grounding yourself, it only felt all the more right for this shoe’s meaning to set inspiration intentions to climb high and set your goals knowing you can very well achieve them.”

The GUIZIO x Reebok Club C Cleated will be available in women’s sizing for $160 on danielleguiziony.com beginning February 25th. The collection will then become available on Reebok.com beginning March 3rd.
