    Matt B: Southern Soul, Trail-Ride Anthems & the Story Behind “Stepping Boots”

    From grandma Beatrice to radio spins—finding a unique voice, stage confidence, kids’ books, and a new film role. Southern soul/country-soul artist Matt B sits down with BeatsToRapOn to trace the roots of his sound: living-room sing-alongs with grandma Beatrice (the “B” in his name), choir and church training, and that first studio session at 21. He breaks down the grind of staying consistent, turning nerves into performance energy, and crafting records that move dance floors and trail rides alike. We dive into song stories for “Stepping Boots,” “Step My Way,” “Friday Weekend Joy,” and the slow-burn favorite “Don’t Want to Leave.” Plus: the “Hello, I’m Matt B” coloring book for kids, an upcoming “Step My Way” book, and a new indie film.

  2. Be Holy, Be Legendary — Tramaine Long on Finding Your Sound, Faith & AI

    NOV 1

    Be Holy, Be Legendary — Tramaine Long on Finding Your Sound, Faith & AI

    Atlanta-raised and church-shaped, Tramaine Long is a minister, rapper, producer, mixing engineer—and a testament to sticking with the craft.  He started with FL Studio and a $20 mic, spent years sounding like everyone else, and then did the hard work to sound like himself.  We talk about the DJ Drama-era lesson (influence ≠ imitation), vocal coaching and production reps, and how he treats AI (Suno) as a workflow accelerator—not a replacement for skill.  Tramaine opens up about the dream that sparked his album “Legendary” (“It’s time for you to be legendary”) and the indie discipline behind a release that cleared 300K+ streams in its first three days. If you’re building a catalog and a life at the same time—this one’s for you. Listen here or what the video interview here  Topics: • Origins: ATL, church, FL Studio, the sock pop-filter • Finding your sound vs. sounding like your heroes • AI as a tool (Suno) without losing your identity • Workflow, speed, and staying present for family • Albums & growth: Clear (2015), R & G: A Love Story (2020), Legendary (2025) • Faith, obedience, and the “Legendary” mindset for indie artists Guest links:  Website — https://tramainelong.com/ YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@Tramainelong TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@tramainelong86 Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/TramaineLong86/ X/Twitter — https://x.com/tramainelongMusic: “Be Holy” — https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/tramainelong/be-holy “R & G: A Love Story” — https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/tramainelong/r--g-a-love-storyCredits: Host — BeatsToRapOn Guest — Tramaine Long We’re building the future—empowering every artist and creator with the tools, beats, and network to share their voice, connect boldly, and leave a mark on the world. 🔗 Visit us at https://beatstorapon.com.

    D-Future: Grind Hard, Never Sleep — Bars, Battles & the Blueprint

    From Brooklyn roots to a South Carolina grind, D-Future breaks down the come-up: battle-rap origins, pen-game obsession, and the GHNS ethos—Grind Hard, Never Sleep. We talk the 90s NYC DNA (Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Nas), Southern takeover energy (Wayne, T.I., Jeezy), building a brand from lunch-table ciphers to league nights, and why his music hits like a hustler’s soundtrack.
