“Shit Ain't Official (Freestyle)” by KI Back At It, Hot New Artist 2018, Jersey We Lit Records
Hot new music and artist coming soon! Stream album Destroy and Rebuild NJ 8/18. Vocal and video services coming soon to all! Start marketing your career the proper way.
My name is Alterik Finney, stage name "KI Back At It." I'm currently owner and CEO of "Jersey We Lit Records." I've been creating concepts and writing music for over the past 10 years now, some for small indie labels and others for independent artists. I've recently decided to start this label and do things the correct way this time around and will be looking to help artists -- mainly "NJ Artists" -- to help market and create commercial music, even performing management work.
I've been working the back scenes learning the paperwork/business, video editing plus filming, online marketing, vocal recording, mixing, mastering and more, and plan on being in full effect by the end of 2018. As Jersey artists, we're known for sounding like others or sounding like street rappers, and it has never gotten us anywhere. My plans, with help from business-minded people, is to be the "Def Jam of New Jersey," opening doors for NJ artists who want to sound different and, like ATL GA, connecting mainstream artists to small indie artists on collaborations.
For my own music, I have an album available for streaming on 8-23-18 on all platforms, titled Destroy & Rebuild NJ. I basically want to create a body of work that's original, but commercial, and that has radio-sounding tunes!

Anthony Caruso is an ambient loop guitarist from the Trenton, New Jersey area. His performances can leave you in a state of wandering, introspection, or intense tranquility. No two live performances are ever the same. Anthony uses a guitar, tiny synthesizer, and a colorful array of effects pedals to manipulate his sound. He pulls from influences from over two decades of intense musical study into cyclical compositions that will leave you thinking about something. If you happen to be nearby during one of his performances, sit down, get comfortable, and enjoy the journey!

Keywords: Alternative, Indie, Rock
Based out of Madison NJ, Above the Moon is a four-piece that melds indie pop melodies with 90’s rock intensity.
The group has pulled from their individual experiences, years of playing in multiple bands in various clubs, bars and basements, to develop a sound that is reminiscent of the greats they grew up on, but still remains new and exciting.
The band is fronted by Kate Griffin on vocals and rhythm guitar, in collaboration with Shawn Murphy on lead, Chris Mangin on bass and John Gramuglia on drums. Together they create a powerful collection of songs that continue to push the boundaries of modern rock music, yet feel familiar at the same time. Above the Moon’s melodies will get stuck in your head all the way to the last feedback note.

Keith Egan is 19-year-old singer/songwriter/recording artist from the Jersey Shore who began singing and playing guitar at the age of 7, with songwriting following shortly thereafter. Keith's musical influences range from Ed Sheeran and James Bay to the classic Jersey rock of Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. He is also a huge fan of hip hop and artists such as Logic.
In August 2016, Keith released his debut EP entitled Come Along. The title song, "Come Along," was released as a single in the form of a music video in June 2016.
In June 2017, Keith released his second project and first eight-song record, The Best Is Yet To Come. An infectious mixture of pop-rock, blues, and soul, with a hint of folk and more, the album is alternating-ly poignant, fun, introspective, and heartfelt, with a relatable narrative that is sure to be enjoyed by anyone who's ever loved and lost but kept forging ahead. "I wrote a lot of the album during a change of scenery in my life, moving out and into college. The whole album embodies the idea of having a positive attitude in all situations [...] all of it roots from the title, The Best Is Yet To Come, which I attempted to live by more when I began working on this project," says Keith. The Best is Yet to Come includes a pop song, power ballad, acoustic ballad, and upbeat pop/dance single entitled "Can't Stop" and is available on iTunes, Spotify, and more.
You can catch Keith performing live, either accompanied by a band or solo with his guitar, using a loop pedal to mimic the full band sound.
"I am looking forward to spreading my music around the Jersey Shore with more shows and also working on more projects in the future," says Keith. To view Keith's upcoming show schedule, visit his website and social media pages below.

J.Bleu is a singer/songwriter, neo-soul artist with hints of jazz and funk. She has written songs for various local artists. I recently partnered with a producer from Paris, France and local DJ DJ-Solo from Wildwood, NJ to feature in my first house music song "Steppin Population," (releasing in Spring 2017). In addition, I am releasing my first single "No Media" and first EP "Human Nature" this spring. You can check out my music video to "No Media" on YouTube. What to expect......... a flavorful, unique sound from an artist who takes pride in writing her own lyrics and making music that will hopefully bring people together and change the world. I represent South Jersey and hope to open an outlet for other indie artists to follow. You can also tune in to two-time Stellar Award winning radio station WEHA 88.7 FM every Sunday afternoon to hear me co-host with Lady Dee on a segment called Inspirations.
Hometown and/or Current City: NJ / Brooklyn
Keywords: indie rock, alternative
Indie rockers Ruby Bones combine energetic rhythms with visceral, existential lyrics and unabashed hooks to form short, punchy songs best digested in the sweat-soaked clubs that define New Jersey and Brooklyn.
Made up of vocalist/guitarist Chris Nova, drummer James Janocha, and South African import FC Spies on bass, the trio (along with Denis Daley providing sax) describes itself as "Bruce Springsteen on cocaine after a few drags off a helium balloon."
With a mutual love of rock and roll, the band turned Nova's folk songs into thoughtful yet vibrant tracks inspired by love, loss and the double-edged blade of a technology-reliant culture. Their debut full length will be out in Spring 2017.
