Chicago’s own DaWeirdo, also known as “No Face McKinney,” is making waves in the music world once again—this time alongside Grammy-nominated rapper Freddie Gibbs. Their new single “Brothers” is more than a track—it’s a gripping narrative, wrapped in gritty production and fearless authenticity.
DaWeirdo’s come-up started early. By nine years old, he was already building his brand and eventually launched the Stop Teen Violence Music Tour, performing across Chicago schools with a mission of hope and healing. His national spotlight moment came on BET’s 106 & Park with Lovandre, and he hasn’t slowed down since.
Now, as co-founder of DAWEIRDO, Inc., he’s pushing boundaries not just as an artist, but as a leader in independent music—focused on digital distribution, artist development, and staying true to self.
“Brothers” is more than a song. It’s a statement. It’s a soundtrack for anyone grinding through adversity, holding it down for their day ones, and daring to be different in a world that demands conformity.
The wait is over! The highly anticipated album from the Grammy-nominated platinum artist and producer Jon B, titled "Waiting On You", Available Now!!!
The album features Donell Jones, Rick Ross, Tank, and Alex Isley. This album by Jon B is definitely bringing back the true essence of R&B, with previous single releases from the album: "Understand", "Priceless", and "Waiting On You", featuring Tank, which rose to #26 on the R&B Billboard airplay charts and charting #2 on iTunes R&B sales charts.
Jon B’s latest single and video “Pick Me Up” gives a neo soul vibe. This album has something different with each track for the listener. Let’s celebrate! Grab your wine and cigars and enter the Vibezelect cafe. This album is definitely one to add to the collection.

Midnight Moonlight and You" was written over 30 years ago and has a storied history. Way back in the 90's I had a music management company with Jim Saxon called "Calvin James Music." We were really excited because we just signed Giorge Pettus, a great R&B pop singer who had a record deal with MCA Records and they were working on his album. What he needed was a hit song! Jim and I got together with songwriter Tom Campbell in my living room and wrote "Midnight Moonlight and You." We thought it was a real banger and the record label would love it. So, Jim and I flew out to LA and met with Louil Silas. At that time he was MCA Records executive producer for Babyface, Bobby Brown, Sheena Easton, Pebbles, Patti LaBelle, and Giorge Pettus. When we told him about "Midnight Moonlight and You" he said had already given the last of the budget to the Isley brothers to finish Giorge's album. Disappointed, we gave him the song anyway but I doubt he ever listened to it.

That night we were invited to the Isley Brothers studio session with Giorge and hung out with Ron and Marvin Isley as well as Angela Winbush. We all shared a fast food dinner as they recorded Giorge’s vocal tracks. Unfortunately the song they produced wasn't a hit for Giorge and that was his last album with MCA records.
Decades later I came across "Midnight Moonlight and You" in my archives and thought maybe Mr MooQ should give it a go. Excited, I called Jim Saxon and we put together a modern version of the song. I then hired Chuck Zwicky to do the arrangement and oversee the production. Finally after all these years, here's "Midnight Moonlight and You!"
Since Giorge and Tom are no longer with us I dedicate this song to them for all the fun we shared. Miss you guys!

“One of the year’s breakout up and coming artist” – ZekeBeats “Unflinchingly honest, earnestly positive, and resolutely single-minded” – AWF DJ Services “Magicc should be a major label signed artist. Top 40 HIT”- Dan Matthews (Klubjumpers)
13 MAY 2022 (SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – Magicc has unveiled the highly anticipated “Too Late”, the single he has called “Song of the summer” Stream/download “Too Late” HERE.
The release of “Too Late” follows Magiccs’ breakout single and music video “Rewind” which peaked at number 21 on the Top 150 Independent Artist Digital Radio Charts and spent multiple weeks in the top 50 of the same chart (as well as going top 100 globally on DRT Global Chart). Coming off of multiple shows with artists such as Trippie Redd, Soulja Boy and more, Magicc will be killing the stage throughout this coming summer.
Mind catching, soul grabbing and fierce, ‘Too Late’ is an anthem for men and women to reflect on how their actions and bad habits can lead to their spouse being pushed away and finding new love. Written by Magicc – the highly talented artist behind ‘Rewind’ – ‘Too Late’ arrives alongside an iconic video directed by James Karoki AKA JayScribe, who has previously worked with the likes of the New Mexico United Professional Soccer team as a videographer. The video further showcases this talented, increasingly- fearless young artist living out all his wildest super-star-dreams, but in a manner that displays his big heart.
This is an extraordinary journey that Magicc has worked towards his whole life (even dropping out of college two years ago to pursue the goal and follow the journey further). Still aged just 23 years old, the chartting independent artist has already surpassed over 200 thousand combined streams since beginning his music journey.
Out of some troubling times Magicc has fashioned a sensational, boiling hot summer record, a head bopping, energy flowing single, which can sit proudly on a global stage next to The Weeknd, Tory Lanez and Jack Harlow. In mood, if not exactly in sound, it has some of the complete realization and energy as some of the latest The Weekend, work.
Now poised to join the pantheon of international pop greats, his tireless energy, positivity and drive were never going to allow Magicc to settle for anything other than ‘High Expectations’ and ‘High Output”. In years to come watch Magicc meet them and keep reaching higher still.
