Fifty Something Records and Lrae Entertainment Sign NBC's The Voice Top 8
Stand Out Alum Justin Aaron (Virginia
Beach, VA) - Earlier this year, ministry, music, and media mogul Dr. Earl Bynum and award-winning songwriter and influential
businessman Jim Vierra announced their unique partnership between Bynum's Lrae Entertainment and Vierra's
Fifty Something Records. The collaborative effort of these two labels has yielded multiple single releases
via Vierra's anointed songwriting featuring vocal talents Ron Poindexter, Emoni Wilkins, and Royce Mosley. Vierra and Bynum
announced today that they have signed their first artist, NBC's The Voice Top 8 standout alum Justin Aaron,
to their label partnership. Justin enchanted audiences across the nation as a contestant on season twenty-two
of The Voice. The educator turned singer-songwriter is a soft-spoken southerner whose musical style is deeply rooted in Gospel
and Contemporary Christian music, laced with a hint of soulful R&B. As a seasoned artist, executive minister of music, and music industry and media
mogul, Dr. Earl Bynum understands the responsibility to nurture and pour into young talent like Justin, ensuring that the
next generation carries the mantle with excellence, integrity, and heart. Bynum and Vierra aim to cultivate more than hits; they want to develop a culture
of business integrity, steeped in spiritual purpose with Christ as the nucleus. Building legacies, expanding their media
presence, and helping their artists grow both creatively and professionally is their collaborative goal. Justin Aaron is
the next step toward that for the label, with new music expected to be released at the beginning of 2026. # # # (Source: The

John
Oates and Jt Loux Release a New Single 'Never Change My Mind' (New York, NY) - Multi-Grammy nominated
John Oates and indie Rock singer-songwriter JT Loux has teamed for the release of a new single,
"Never Change My Mind." The collaboration came to life at East Iris Studios in Nashville's
vibrant Berry Hill neighborhood-part of Universal Music Group's renowned global network of recording studios, alongside legendary
locations such as Abbey Road Studios in London and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. Since opening in 2018, East Iris has become
a creative hub for artists and producers shaping the city's modern sound. Although many people around the world
know him as the co-creator of the pop group Hall & Oates, this versatile artist's musical roots run deep. As a young child
in the early 1950s John's life and influences parallel the evolution of American rock and roll. Playing and singing from the
age of five he was born into a life of music. "I am old enough to remember music before the birth of rock and roll so
when it hit, I was aware that something new and groundbreaking had happened." Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Everly
Brothers and Elvis laid the foundation and the regional sounds crackling out of the AM radio from labels like Stax Volt/ Specialty
/ Sun / Chess were Oates' sonic pallet from which to draw inspiration. In the early 1960s, when the folk revival
swept the college campuses, John immersed himself in songs he heard from all the newly rediscovered artists, many of whom
traced their careers back to the 1920s and 30s at the beginning of phonograph recordings. Living in Philadelphia at that time
John haunted the coffee houses and festivals to hear folks like Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, Sonny Terry & Brownie
McGhee and spent many a Saturday night at the fabled Uptown Theater to experience R&B greats like Sam and Dave, Otis Redding,
the Temptations, Curtis Mayfield and James Brown. It was from these early influences that John Oates became the musician he
is today. A keeper of the flame, an Americana amalgamation of all that he heard and all that has come before him. Working and moving to Nashville in the early 2000s John was embraced by the burgeoning Americana music community and surrounded
by kindred spirits and with their help he began to tap back into his earliest musical DNA to establish and re-define himself.
The results of which have been seven solo albums, multiple singles, and many classic collaborations. JT LOUX (pronounced "lucks") JT LOUX is a genre-blending
musical force born in Sacramento in 2020 and sharpened in Nashville since 2022. Led by frontman JT Loux (vocals/guitar) alongside
drummer Zach McCoy and bassist Ethan Pecha-with a second guitarist added for live shows-the band crafts emotionally charged,
sonically rich alt-rock. Their sound draws inspiration from artists like Jeff Buckley, Fontaines D.C., Briston Maroney, The
Backseat Lovers, and The Beatles-fusing atmospheric vocals with vivid guitar work and raw lyrical storytelling. Following their 2021 debut "Taken By Moonlight," JT LOUX signed to Yelawolf's Slumerican Records in 2024. Recent
singles include "Daisy," "Go Ahead," and "Waiting For You" (with Riley Whittaker), leading into
a new era of music. Upcoming releases feature collaborations with John Oates and Yelawolf, all building toward
JT's sophomore album in April 2026. Known for energetic live shows, JT LOUX has toured Spain, opened for Yelawolf across the
U.S., and played festivals like Sturgis and Launchpad, with 60+ shows in 2025 alone. Tour Dates November 7 - Corpus Christi, TX - Concrete Street Amphitheater November
8 - San Antonio, TX - The Aztex Theatre November 9 - Fort Worth, TX - Tannahill's Tavern & Music Hall November
13 - Dothan, AL - The Plant November 14 - Chattanooga, TN- The Signal November 16 - Memphis, TN- Minglewood Hall November 18 - Green Bay WI - EPIC Event Center November 20 - Kansas City, MI - Uptown Theatre November 21 - Minneapolis,

Public Enemy Releases
Music Video to 'VIDMash Black Sky' (Los Angeles, CA) - Public Enemy releases music video for "VIDMash
BLACK SKY," a cinematic medley featuring three tracks from their critically acclaimed album "Black
Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025" - "Siick," "Confusion (Here Come The Drums)" and
"Evil Ways." Directed by longtime collaborator David "C-Doc" Snyder, the video mirrors PE's blend of revolutionary
sound and unflinching social commentary, with Flavor Flav and Chuck D delivering a high-voltage
performance alongside footage from the group's 2025 festival and stadium world tour and raw scenes of people under siege by
their own government. "VIDMash
Black Sky" extends Public Enemy's legacy as one of music's most politically charged and creative groups and comes on
the heels of the CD and vinyl release of "Black Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025" (which followed its digital
release in June). A fusion of classic Public Enemy sound and contemporary relevance, "Black Sky Over the Projects"
is also available in three exclusive vinyl variants: "Earth" (Barnes & Noble/Natural Black Swirl Opaque Mix
vinyl), "Wind" (MVDShop.com/Light Gray Marble Opaque Mix vinyl, Exclusive Artist-Signed Edition), and "Fire"
(Zia Records/Blood Orange Opaque Mix vinyl). Public Enemy's classic albums are the soundtrack to hip-hop's rise as social and political commentary.
Their debut record,"Yo! Bum Rush The Show," was named Album of the Year by NME, with Rolling Stone declaring that
the release "heralded hip-hop's great leap forward" and The New York Times calling Public Enemy "the voice
of a community." Their sophomore effort, 1988's "It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back,"
is one of the most important records ever made and was named to The New York Times list of 25 Most Significant Albums of the
Last Century. "Fear of a Black Planet" featured Public Enemy's signature song, "Fight The Power," used
by Spike Lee in his film "Do The Right Thing." The album also included the powerful "911 Is a Joke" and
"Welcome To The Terrordome." "Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black" carried on the group's legacy,
reaching #4 on the album chart and going platinum. The record included "By the Time I Get To Arizona," demanding
that America confront race relations after the state's governor refused to recognize the new Martin Luther King, Jr. national
holiday. In 2012, Public Enemy's "Harder Than You Think" went to #1 on the UK urban and indie singles chart and
to #4 on the official UK singles chart, their tenth Top 40 hit in England and their highest charting single ever. By 2020, Public Enemy were tapped to open the BET Awards with a remix of "Fight The Power," where they were joined
by Nas, Rapsody, The Roots, YG and Jahi in a fiery protest against the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless
others at the hands of police officers. The critically acclaimed album, "What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down,"
was released that year on Def Jam and featured guest performances by the Beastie Boys' Mike D and Ad-Rock, George Clinton,
Cypress Hill, Ice-T, PMD, Run-DMC and more. "Black Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025" Tracklisting: 1. SIICK (Produced by
