“Feed Me Beats” Contest featuring Ohene Savant, WaKiL, and Gabe Roland, with production by Young Fyre.

Hip Hops newest independent rising stars have collaborated for the first major release of the Fail Mixtape called  “Feed Me Beats”  featuring Ohene Savant, WaKiL, and Gabe Roland, with production by Young Fyre. The track is the first single of the mixture which includes new music from T-Pain, Diggy Simmons, Jacob Lattimore, and Khleo Thomas, and is a showcase of up and coming talent who, like the web series, are taking music through the internet, by storm.
In keeping with Fails brand of being a fresh look at sitcoms and hip hop, the single is designed to do the same. Opening the 3rd verse to up and coming talent, “Feed Me Beats” is the first official contest of the Fail Mixtape and AllHipHop. Rappers from across the nation are invited to add a verse and “eat the beat up”. Winners will be announced at the beginning of September and the winner will be officially added to the track as well as featured on all Hip Hop and the video for the song.

WaKiL is no stranger to the limelight. The Kansas City native has been doing music for over a decade. While making a buzz in the Midwest, he drew the attention of producer Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown) and relocated to Los Angeles to begin working with him.  Both as an artist and producer WaKiL has rocked stages from Los Angeles to Singapore as well as leant his production talents to numerous artists including John West feat. Big Sean’s hit “Already There as well as his lyrical talents to the likes of Fantasia who will be featuring the young rapper on her upcoming project. WaKiL’s newest EP “Little Giants” is set for release this fall.

Ohene Savant makes his return to the Fail Mixtape and AllHipHop with this collaboration. Savant, the protégé of M’tume and mentored by other Hip Hop greats such as Christopher “Play” Martin, has been making headlines for his lyrical ability and infectious musical genius over the past few years. A recent BET Music Matters showcase participant, Ohene’s “Superficial Girl” video will be releasing on AllHipHop with an exclusive behind the scenes.

Gabe Roland rounds out “Feed Me beats” with his smooth melodic vocals. Another native of Kansas City, Gabe’s musical ability has carried him from the heartland, to Los Angeles, to most recently New York City, where he, too, was a BET Music Matter’s featured artist.  Roland’s latest mixtapes “Planet Nowhere” and “DreamNation” have made waves online. Proficient in keys and producing, Gabe has proven that musicianship is not dead, but has transformed into the artist that can do it all.

 Young Fyre lends his expertise to Feed Me Beats serving as producer and co-writer. Fyre made his debut on the music scene years ago working with such music greats as Tech Nine, but came to fame when he was signed to by T-Pain to his Nappy Boy label after winning a nationwide producer contest.  Since, Fyre has failed to disappointment. Producing such hits as “Best Love Song” by T-Pain and Chris Brown as well as T-Pain’s “Bootywurk” Fyre has become one of the most sought after music producers. The icing on the cake was producing Lil Wayne’s “How to Hate” which was featured on his Grammy Award Winning Carter 4 album. Currently in the studio working with various artists, Fyre has only begun to change the way the world spells fire.
