<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Upcoming EP July 6th, 2022</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>1 A.M. & Angel</strong></p>
<hr><p><em>Note from 1 A.M.</em></p>
<p>"This album was very fun and challenging for me. Angel comes from a battle rap background and I am more of a storyteller type writer. We decided to do this EP to challenge ourselves and ultimately have fun creating good music. The mixing process for me was very challenging too because all the beats were two tracks and had a full range of frequencies to work around. The mastering process was more of a relief once I solidified the mixes! I also had fun creating the album cover because I have never really worked with designing metal coins in Photoshop. Thats what I love about this whole creation process for the album; from the writing to the final product I have learned new things along the way. Shout-out to Rocco for hooking me up with the software because if you didn't, we wouldn't have an album cover in time for release! Shout-out to Loud House where this album was recorded and I am happy we were able to utilize the space before it ended. I hope everyone enjoys this album as much as we do once it drops! Thank you for your support and encouragement!"</p>
<p><em>Note from Angel</em></p>
<p>"You can see every subject from two sides. That is what this project is to me. This is what happens when you give artists from two completely the same subject matter to speak about. Life is never one sided, it's always 2 Sides of A Coin. This also shows our passion. It shows the importance of a bar and importance of a flow. One of us focus mainly on bars, the punches, and the other focuses on the song structure and delivery. We push each other, always have. Two opposing sides came together to make a perfect circle. Us combined makes one PERFECT artist!"</p>

<p>"Battle of The Bay! This Versuz will host two multi-talented femcees put their catalogs against each other. Hailing from The South Bay representing Gilroy, CA is Independent rapper, singer, producer, engineer, video director, graphic designer and podcast host for the Breakaway Artist Society 1 A.M.! With 18 albums to her name and 19th on the way, she is one of the most consistent and forever evolving artists the 408 has to offer. With versatility across various styles and subject matter, she is not afraid to try out new things and is always spreading a positive message for all her listeners. But aside from her positive message, 1 A.M. is also a deadly MC that can go toe to toe with any heavy spitter or wordsmith. Definitely not an artist to take lightly in a versuz. Her Challenger, Hailing from the North Bay representing San Francisco, CA is Independent alternative Hip-Hop artist, singer, MC, audio engineer, guitar player and producer Versoul formerly known as Babii Cris! This artist is one of Frisco's most talented femcees who constantly sharpens her craft. From taking on live instruments, challenging herself to create a new song everyday, and on top of hosting various artist showcase show across The Bay Area, she definitely is no slouch when it comes to her work and gives back by showcasing other talent from around her way. Her music has a very, and dare I say, Soulful vibe to it, but don't get it twisted, she's also a contender when it comes to her bars and she's not afraid to show how much of a worthy adversary she can be on the mic. So join us on July 8th to see these two highly decorated artists go head to head to see who's catalog comes out on top! hosted by John D. Contradiction and will be judged by a panel of 4 random judges. Participating judges will be announced the day of event. We will be Live on Twitch, Facebook & Youtube at the same time.

Lets start this off by saying she is super fucking talented. She can rap, she can sing and she can produce. Add this all up, you got good music. The time machine this project puts you in, but also just how relatable it is, is super impressive. It had moments that made me feel like I was a goofy teen again on a stolen bike, with my no skip walkman and a pair of big dusty headphones that cover 30% of my actual ear. The features on here came to work but by far the best and most consistent feature was this Angel dude, rapping like he wearing a full baby blue velour suit with shades on during the summer at night. The only thing that this project needs is more engineer love, like a truly overly dedicated engineer to really capitalize on any wasted spaces or moments that need to be brightened that much.

I used to think I was alone in my struggles and I used to have a "why me" mentality. Not guna lie, I used to be a negative minded person. (I'm not perfect and I am still working through it.) But as I grew older, I came to my senses that obviously I was not the only one dealing with the day-day bullsh*t and how it is simply is a part of life. The only thing I could change was my mindset and how I react to these things that will change the results. I started looking at others around me and trying to understand what they have to deal with as well. Ultimately, "I Know" is about how WE ALL are not alone in this messy life and WE ALL know what it feels like."</p><p>-1 A.M.</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="/window-side-b-album" target="_blank" data-link-type="page" data-link-label="Window Side B Album" contents="Learn more about Window Side B here">Learn more about Window Side B here</a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/66r9tBV7HrCdbuoO2pa7JN?si=7946f4c5dacc4c09" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents='Listen to "I Know" here'>Listen to "I Know" </a><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/66r9tBV7HrCdbuoO2pa7JN?si=7946f4c5dacc4c09" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents='Listen to "I Know" on Spotify'>on Spotify</a></p><p>#its1amsomewhere</p>1 A.M.tag:iam1am.com,2005:Post/66606892021-06-15T20:37:22-07:002024-03-02T20:40:08-08:00NotYaManz reviews 1 A.M. - “Ain’t So Bad” - Single<p style="text-align:center;"> </p><div class="video-container size_null justify_inline" style="--video-width:320px;"><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="1AHaXjnfWHg" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1AHaXjnfWHg?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p> </p><p>NotYaManz reviews 1 A.M. latest single “Ain’t So Bad”.

I had been learning about the old school drum machines and I decided to download a sample pack of one. I downloaded the Roland 808 Drum Machine pack and just started making beats for the fun of it. At the time I was listening to LL Cool J and 80's Hip Hop. To me, this particular beat came out dope and so much so that I just wrote to it as soon as I had an 8 bar loop going. I never intended on releasing it though. I figured it was just for my own experimental entertainment purposes. But then again I thought why not ask Gigio if he would like to be on. We both love and respect Hip Hop culture. Once he sent back the track with his verse, I was just excited to hear the full song and with how it turned out!</p><p> </p><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4> </h4><h4>LINKS</h4><p><a class="no-pjax" href="/track/2581500/duffel-bag-feat-senor-gigio" target="_blank" data-link-type="track" contents="Duffle Bag Feat.

Now, my experience with this show was kind of negative but I am not going to sit here and bash. I am grateful to have been able to be on TV for my mom and make her proud. That is ultimately what matters plus the fun time we had traveling! However I do want to just say that talent is talent no matter what language it is in... (yeah I got eliminated for not speaking Spanish hahaha)</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtu.be/_-zS3whEQ5k" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="Watch Cassidy Guerrero on Tengo Talento Mucho Talento Here"><i>Watch Cassidy Guerrero on Tengo Talento Mucho Talento Here</i></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"> </p><div class="video-container size_null justify_inline" style="--video-width:320px;"><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="_-zS3whEQ5k" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_-zS3whEQ5k?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p> </p><p style="text-align:center;">I am just revisiting this memory because I want to just share what this experience has taught me.

I hope I was able to inspire you to keep working towards your dreams.

So that is the purpose of my "Reels", to share some of my experiences during this music journey and reflect on how far we have come! Window Side B is coming 2021 and I hope you are all ready!

<span class="text-big"><strong>Behind The Music:</strong></span><strong> </strong>
</h4><p>The year 2020 was a rollercoaster ride for all of us, and for me, rapper <strong>1 A.M.</strong>, it was no different. The onset of Covid-19 coincided with the release of my track, “Window”. The subsequent quarantine put a damper on the momentum we had been building, and to be honest, it took a toll on my spirit.</p><p>I had been eagerly looking forward to performing live and had numerous plans lined up for the year. However, as we all know, many things are beyond our control.</p><p>In the early part of 2020, I found myself juggling between promoting “Window” and working on a side project titled “Winter Heat”. This was intended to be a fun, summer release. My initial plan was to drop it in early June, but the widespread protests during that time led me to hold back. It simply didn’t feel right to release it amidst such significant events.</p><p>As we brace ourselves for a potential second quarantine, I’ve decided to release “Winter Heat”. My hope is that this project will lift your spirits during these challenging times. Remember, stress can weaken the immune system, but joy can have a positive impact on your health! So, ensure you get plenty of sleep, maintain a balanced diet, and don’t forget to exercise - even if it’s just dancing to the beats of “Winter Heat”! ❄️🔥</p><p>#its1amsomewhere</p><p> </p>1 A.M.
