[From All Music.com-Timothy Monger] Exuding star power and charisma, South Korean pop singer Kang Daniel was vaulted to celebrity status with his first-place finish on the 2017 reality contest Produce 101, and subsequent chart-topping run as a member of boy band Wanna One. Following a 
court battle to reclaim contractual rights unlawfully sold by his previous management agency, he formed his own company and launched an even more successful solo career with the Color on Me EP, which topped the Gaon Albums Chart upon its 2019 release. Kang has remained a chart favorite in South Korea, hitting number one with more color-themed EPs, including 2020's Cyan and 2021's Yellow.
[From All Music.com-Fred Thomas] Montreal-based collective Chiiild combine the raw emotional push of R&B with elements of groove-friendly 
indie rock and textural electronic production for a sound they dub "synthetic soul." The band began touring and releasing songs in 2019 and issued an EP the following year. Their debut album, Hope for Sale, arrived in 2021. Read more @All Music.com (Click Here)
[From all Music.com-Craig Harris] Trombonist, composer, and bandleader Willie Colón is one of the pioneers of Latin American music and a noted social and political activist. Despite initial criticism, Colón's album El Malo was one of the first to feature the "New York Sound" that sparked 
a renewed interest in Latin music during the 1970s. Colón was instrumental in the careers of such Latin musicians as Hector Lavoe -- who sang with his band from the late '60s through the mid-'70s and created a virtual template for New York salsa in the process -- Rubén Blades, and Celia Cruz. Colón produced Ismael Miranda, Sophy, and Soledad Bravo. In addition to 11 Grammy nominations and one Grammy award, Colón has received a CHUBB fellowship from Yale University, the most prestigious award given by the Ivy League school. Colón was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award from the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He was portrayed by actor John Ortiz in the Hector Lavoe biopic El Cantate, which also starred Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez. In 2006 he issued his last album for Fania, Legal Alien: Top Secrets/Altos Secretos.
[From All Music.com-Fred Thomas] With a spaced-out, subdued flow that sometimes sits at the edge of mumble rap, Chicago rapper Lucki sets himself apart from the herd with inventive 
production choices and exceptionally vulnerable lyrical narratives. The charismatic young talent has addressed troubles with addiction and mental health in his songs, and collaborated with artists like Danny Brown and FKA Twigs. He has released multiple innovative mixtapes such as 2015's Freewave along with more fleshed-out projects like 2021's F1lthy collaboration Wake Up Lucki.
[From All Music.com-Neil Z. Yeung] Prolific Houston rapper Z-Ro is a local legend in the Texas scene. Since 1997, his mixture of singing and rapping has appeared on countless tracks with peers like Scarface, Gucci Mane, Bun B, and Pimp C. Born Joseph Wayne McVey, Z-Ro (aka the Mo City Don) grew up with equal parts inspiration from 
hardcore rappers like 2Pac and the Geto Boys and soulful crooners like Babyface and Sam Cooke. His style merged the two genres, bringing a hard edge to explicitly honest songs about love, relationships, and street life. Z-Ro got his start with the Screwed Up Click, a crew of Houston rappers led by the late DJ Screw. He made his solo debut in 1998 with Look What You Did to Me, following it with an album release each year (except 1999 and 2013) for nearly two decades.
