Warchyld is back with his street anthem “Church 4 G’s”
Philadelphia rapper Warchyld recently released his mixtape “The Streets is Back” hosted by DJ Kay Slay and gives us a sneak preview of what is to come with his street anthem “Church 4 G’s.” Church is an ode to the OGs of the streets craving for someplace to go and confess because they can’t do it like just anyone else…the song has a very poignant message for those who understand; and gives some education to those on the outside looking in.
Year after year, Philadelphia born rap goon Warchyld has been faithfully holding down the streets of Pennsylvania and the whole East Coast with back-to-back block-burning singles. With the release of his highly anticipated mixtape, “The Streets Is Back“, Warchyld is gracing more magazine covers than your favourite rapper’s favourite rapper.

Raps and song placements on popular MTV shows (“Caged“, “The World According To Paris Hilton”) and famous Oxygen TV shows such as “America’s Next Top Model“, Warchyld is without a doubt a future superstar in the making already crossing the border to major success.
Known for his gritty delivery and painful lyrics, combined with hard-hitting beats by extraordinaire producers, the streets disciple will blow your speakers with “The Streets Is Back”, which is available for download via DatPiff.com. Warchyld is an exceptional artist for all of the right reasons. His musical ear and soulful upbringing gave him a sound unlike no one out today.

My Exclusive Interview with Grammy Award Winner Whitney Peyton for – Yahoo! Voices – voices.yahoo.com @WhitneyPeyton
Posted: November 5, 2012 by jdobypr in Grammy News, Hip Hop, mixtape, Music, News, Yahoo! VoicesTags: 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, All About Bullies...Big and Small, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, bullies, Gangsta Boo, Grammy, Grammy Award, Jadakiss, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Philadelphia, Whitney Peyton
Independent hip hop artist Whitney Peyton, won her first Grammy as contributing artist during the 54th annual Grammy Awards. Peyton is a rapper from Philly whose lyrical delivery summons visions of a hip hop dynamo with more years in the game than this young lady. Whitney’s collaborations include projects with other Grammy winners like Lazie Bone (Bone Thugs N Harmony) and Gangsta Boo (Three 6 Mafia).
The Grammy!
Hip hop is Peyton’s main genre however, in 2011 Whitney showed her artistic versatility by taking writing and recording gigs on an anti-bullying album geared towards children titled “All about Bullies…Big and Small.” The album was a hit and gained attention by winning a Grammy Award for “Best Children’s Album” at the 54th annual Grammy Awards in 2012, as well as Parent’s Choice Gold Award from the Parent’s Choice Foundation.
Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, her firecracker personality is totally in line with that city’s musical history and the stellar performers from that area who came before her. An undeniable star quality is exhibited in her stage presence and she is in constant demand, sharing concert stages with well-known acts including Jadakiss, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and too many to name in a short article!
I had the opportunity to speak quickly with Whitney as she begins her recording process for an upcoming full-length release. We discussed her recent EP “Coffee Cups And Combat Boots” which dropped September 4th, 2012 and the motivation behind that project.
