Beyond the Valley: Liverpool’s Royzy Rothschild Spits Fire on “Eminem Effect”

Posted on by Leave a comment

One thing you can count on every Monday on The Quinn Spinn is great indie music, of any genre, from artists near and far. Sometimes, we opt to play international artists on our “worldwide” show.

We’ll do that tomorrow, guaranteed, when Royzy Rothschild makes his Quinn Spinn debut. Royzy sent us his new single, “Eminem Effect” featuring Kay Francis, this week. It’s a big-sounding track, and the kind of hip hop that always has a welcome home on Quinn Spinn programming. You can find it on tomorrow’s show, to be made available on SoundCloud, iTunes, and right here on Lehigh Valley Underground.

Can’t wait that long? We’ve included the official music video for “Eminem Effect” below. Just promise us that you’ll still check it out alongside all of the other great music on tomorrow’s show!

Beyond the Valley: About That Ayoinmotion Guy You Heard Yesterday…

Posted on by Leave a comment

One of my favorite artists from The Quinn Spinn‘s previous run is New York-based hip hop artist Ayoinmotion. You may recognize that name, because you heard his song, “She’s Leaving” on yesterday’s episode.

I had the privilege of catching Ayo’s live show a couple years ago at Webster Hall, where he opened for Talib Kweli during the NY Loves J.Dilla Tribute Show. The man and his band can straight-up perform. They are among the most talented, engaging artists I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing live.

Ayo is also very globally-conscious. A native of Lagos, Nigeria, he also spent time Flint, Michigan before arriving to New York. In response to Flint’s recent water crisis, Ayoinmotion performed a benefit show a couple weeks ago, raising more than $500 for the children of Flint.

Below is a visual recap from Ayoinmotion’s Facebook page, which goes to show that indie artists can make a positive difference on the world they know.
