Wordspit x America’s Got Talent Audition [Video] (NY)

May 22nd, 2012 | By Janei

Yooooooooo we are truly the illest! First off I would like to say congrats to Wordspit for accomplishing so much in his career and never giving up. From McDonald’s commercials, to Rocawear campaigns, to now audition on live television to America’s Got Talent, Wordspit shows the world that he is here to stay

This is somebody I have been rocking with for about 3 years now. It’s great and exciting to see someone from the streets of East New York to set a goal for himself and follow his dreams, whatever the costs was. He never stopped reaching. Even when he had doubts he never stopped reaching. This is the real definition of DEDICATION and GRIND MODE. I’m proud of you sweetie

March 26th, 2012 | By Janei

I’ve been speaking about this brother for a long time and its about time to let ya’ll listen to what I am talking about. Avery Wilson has been making appearances all around the tri-state area, blessing stages, and pleasing he ears of many audiences that’s come out to support. If you never had a chance to see him perform, think about a R.Kelly concert in the 90s, where chicks would go wild over a high note. Yes Avery Wilson can sing the alphabet and send you over the edge of your seat.

Wilson recently entertained at the stage of Weiibees Open Mic, getting into the very sensual Floetry, “Say Yes” cover. Back by keys player Brian Lorde and 106 & Park house drummer, Jeff “smooth Groove ” aka “SG” Noble

New cypher, new people. But what’s different about this cipher? No on is trying to prove something. There is no competition. It’s just free flowing bars, that sound more effective than Meek Mill spitting on all radios. YEA I SAID IT! Shot by Adam J Dunn for The Best Love Is Free, a group of emcees (Sean Anonymous, Phillip Morris, Logik and Dex from the Wize Guyz, Botzy of Culture Cry Wolf, Lizzo, Ceewhy, St Paul Slim, MaLLy and Toki Wright to be exact) rock over a beatbox by Carnage. Oh and shout out to the goddamn beat boxer. You deserve it!
