BLADZY Talks Being A Female Musician, Influences & The Meaning Behind Her Pseudonym 

Kimberley, Northern Cape recording artist Queen Bladzy has established herself as an artist-to-watch with her collection of new music and magnetic persona. I remember first meeting her backstage at The Come Up Tour in 2019, this lioness has been leaving a statement at every show she's been at! Her latest effort, B.L.A.D.Z.Y EP, has become a 2021 favorite by most critics. As the year comes to a close and 2022 slated to be Bladzy's most anticipated yet, we speak with the rising star on developing her unique sound, her personal growth and more. Before you check out her catalog, learn everything about Queen Bladzy in new interview below.
1. What is the meaning behind the name Queen BLADZY?

There is a meaning behind the name BLADZY
It's a self made motto "Be Loving And Don't Zero Yourself"
In short Bladzy
I was named Cocky Jyc and I changed it to Bladzy 2016
Just because I thought it was unique. 

2. Be Loving And Don't Zero Yourself, ahh that's quite catchy and hella unique. Talk to us about your early years, what were you like as a younger version of Queen BLADZY? Did it play a part in what you are today?
The younger Bladzy was honestly just so observant
I wanted to learn so I would pair myself with people with experience
And I would say I was kinda like baddie
Coz most of my songs have cussing words. 

3. How long have you been creating music?
It has been a long time, since the age of 12, I'm 18 now and I feel old..
So it's been 7 years ❤

4.Wow, you're so young and already making a name for yourself, it's really inspiring! To your potential new listeners, what are 2-3 must-listen songs from your catalog?
I'll say my whole EP 
There is a meaning behind the EP as a whole
So I think if they listen to it 
They will get the message. 

5.If you could describe your music in 2-3 words what would they be?
"Definitely unique"
I think my music is me 
It says alot about me as a musician
And trust me, I'm not like other people

6.Who were some of your influences growing up? Musical influences?
Would be Nicki Minaj and Rapsody
RnB it's definitely Rihanna

7. Where is BLADZY from?
I'm from Kimberley
Born and bred in Kimberley

8.What is it like for a female doing music in Kimberley? Is music something that's accepted as a career path in Kimberley?
Definitely not, I think even me being female makes it even harder. People think doing music is childs play.
Thats why they never take females seriously
Apparently this is a "male dominated" Industry
It took time but I think I'm at the peek of proving people wrong
And show em why I say I'm Queen

9.Can you talk to us about your pen, your craft and abilities? Where did the abilities come from?
From being a kid I've been writing my music
It's just like an addiction
I have books full of verses I haven't even used. I get my writing abilities probably from listening to too much of Nicki but besides that I write from my heart and before I lace it, it has to hit hard. 

10. Do you tend to write or freestyle?
Sometimes I write, sometimes I freestyle

11.Where can other creatives reach you for features?

On my official page and by emailing me

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz)// The Mosh Turnout

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz) ¹. Gives definition to the high end of the vocals ². Makes the vocals more crisp and clear ³. Makes the vocals sound like a more defined part of the mix ⁴. Brightens up the vocals for a more "professional sound"  One of the keywords are "Brightens", which refers to a tonality when the signal is rich in high frequencies. To make the vocal "poke" out of the mix this is one of the best ways as it creates a type of lift to the vocal that when done to proper taste, can be the difference between your vocal sounding bland and your vocal sounding crisp. This also makes the vocal more audible and clear as adding high end frequencies somewhat balances out someone with a deep voice when you are trying not to cut too much out of the frequencies of their voice. When using additive equalization before compression you can really push a high shelf as the compression contains the high end. Advertisement   Promote your...

Am done recording my first ever album titled " Kabeloa Manong " which consists of 12 tracks including songs like Being strong 2.0 ,  Oreratile and Uyang'basela It seems like we'll be getting a Being Strong installment every year but this is just our assumption because the rapper hasn't mentioned it yet.

Song Review: Company by Flassouw

By The Mosh Turnout

  One of Flassouw's great storytelling songs from her most recent EP, "Nothing To Something," is titled "Company." The album follows the female rapper's 'Teenage Life Patterns' effort by almost a year. This song features some of Flassouw's best lyrical work; her flow is flawless, and the phrases are delivered precisely and passionately. I was astounded by how she brought out Mvx053 to sing backing vocals over the hook. The structure of this song is truly amazing; it has a little bit of everything. This provided the song the well-balanced "Melodic Hook" + "Rap Verse" + "Melodic Hook" formula, which has consistently shown to be a "hit song" formula if the plot and vocal delivery are planned up appropriately. You can hear a lover pleading for her boyfriend on the chorus, saying she wants his company. The first verse tells the tale of a young woman who is under pressure from others because they have great expec...
