Q. Hey everyone it’s ya boy Darren Southern Plug Brown,
here with a mega Southern Plug Exclusive. Introducing to
some, the uber talented and beautiful Tasia B. So, tell our
readers that may not be familiar with you or your work just
who you are and what it is that you do exactly.
A. My name is Shontasia Brown otherwise known as Tasia
B. I am a lyricist who raps and sings. You can check my
work out on YouTube and Instagram at 1TasiaB. I released
four songs with videos and am preparing for the release of
the first song from my upcoming Mixtape OSO (oh-so)
Carolina on 25 January 2025.
Q. So, what inspired you to start your journey as a hip hop r&b artist?
A. I come from a musically gifted family my brother is Keezo
the rapper, Uncle Sam the producer is my cousin and Mike
Smith the R&B phenom (God Bless the passed away) is
also my cousin. The death of my mother and grandmother
was the spark that lit the flame which resulted in my
embarking on the career I have been pursuing the past five
years.
Q. How and when did you coin your stage name and how
do you feel that title fits you?
A. My original stage name was my family nickname TayyB
with Tayy being short fort Shontasia and the B for my last
name Brown. Attorney Bernie Lawrence-Watkins (out of
Atlanta) searched the quote-on-quote-on-quote and she
found that the name TayB was already trademarked by a
rapper signed to Giant Records. My production company
Strong Link Music Group suggested a name change and we
have begun the trademark process for the name Tasia B my
present and final stage name.
Q. Do you have any upcoming projects or announcements
to make?
A. We are preparing for the drop of the mixtape OSO (OhSo) Carolina. The first single from this project is Buss
Down, scheduled for release on social media on 1/25/25.
The mixtape will also feature the anthem “OSO Carolina.”
My production company Strong Link will be pursuing a
major label partnership with the release of the mixtape.
Q. What would you say is the quote-on-quote secret recipe for your success?
A. Hard work, prayer, staying true to myself and my music and working with a good team.
Q. What is your favorite part about being a rap star?
A. My favorite part of what I do is performing. I enjoy seeing how people react
to my lyrics when I’m rapping or singing and it’s funny because I think
they don’t expect what they get from a female with such a small stature,
lol!
Q. Name a time where you've faced adversity in your career? And,
what impact did it have on you or your career?
A. as a female rapper I face adversity every day. Rapping is
geared mostly around men and there are only a few female rappers
who are taken seriously. I strive to be in that group of ladies who
are considered dope as fuck.
Q. Is there something in specific that you want people to know
about you or your art?
A. I want people to know I do music because I love it. Not for just
the money or the fame but because I really enjoy being creative
musically and it makes me feel good, you know all warm and fuzzy
inside. I write my own lyrics but I would like to work with some other
writers for sure. I lay my own vocals in ProTools and prepare my
songs myself in my computer before entering the studio.
Q. Okay, so its no secert you are a very attractive person. Our men
readers would like to know, are you boo'd up or what? If so spilt the
tea. Who's the lucky guy?
A. Pretty boring right now because unfortunately I am not “boo’d” up
at the moment, just concentrating on my career. However, if
the right situation presents itself I am open to the possibility
of being “boo’d up.”
Q. How do you juggle your personal life and professional life?
A. Music is pretty much totally my life right now but I do try to
balance my time with things I enjoy doing like reading,
googling things I find interesting and traveling whenever the
opportunity presents itself. “All work and no play make Jill a dull
girl”, I must make time to “Jill” off, lol J.
Q. What advice would you give those wanting to start their journey
in music?
A. Stay focused and find a good team, one that supports you and
pushes you to be better. Everyone needs help, you can’t do it
alone.
Q. Who would you say is your biggest inspiration and why?
A. Beyoncé is my biggest inspiration. I look to how she eases through performances and owns
the stage. I love her versatility and ability to move between musical genres with her songs.
Q. Ok we do this every interview! What creatives would you absolutely die to work with?
A. I would love to work with Chris Brown. He is the modern Michael Jackson. He always remains
fresh to the ears even though he’s been in the game a long time. On the rapper side the list is
long, too long to name them all but I would like to work with Lil Wayne, Lil Baby and Future. and
for my females I would say Dej Loaf, Latto, and Megan the Stallion. I wouldn’t mind Glorilla as
well.
Q. Tell our readers how they can book you and connect with you on the world wide web and on
the socials.
A. My fans can hit me at 1TasiaB on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. I can be reached for
bookings at StrongLinkMusicGroup@gmail.com // Kaprice Rowan 803-569-8493 // George

Confident, hard-hitting rapper Sally Sossa delivers biographical
tales that occasionally betray her sensitive side. Although the
Houston native has cited the likes of Nicki Minaj and early
supporter Lil Durk as influences, Sossa quickly distinguished
herself after uploading her first recordings while in high
school. She made her label debut as a teenager in 2020 and has
since released Life of Sossa (2021) and 4EVER SOSSA (2022), projects
highlighted by hits such as the Durk collaboration "Star Song" and the Flo
Milli-assisted "Toot It Up." Born in 2002, Sossa learned to rhyme -- and
developed a competitive spirit -- during the many family rap battles that
permeated her youth. In high school, she fed much of this determination
into playing basketball. However, when an injury forced her to take time out
from the sport, building a rap career became her number one priority. By age
17, she had uploaded numerous tracks and mixtapes online, transforming
from an artist with local support to one with the backing of
established names in the industry. Early on, Lil Durk
become a key mentor. He almost signed Sossa independently, but eventually she chose a deal with Listen to the
Kids, an imprint patronized by the major label Interscope.
In 2020, "Who You Are," the first track released as part of
the contract, achieved 500,000 streams within a matter of
months. This was swiftly followed by "A Letter to the
Streets," "GMFU," and "100 Flows," pieces that all ultimately appeared on Life of Sossa, issued in September 2021. While those tracks were filled with
attitude, tempered piano-led material such as "Need
Me" and "It Ain't Love" brought her softer side to
the fore. The latter track included a reference to
her grandfather, an early champion of her
talent who died before Sossa's career had
begun to blossom. Another ballad, the
Lil Durk collaboration "Star Song,"
became Sossa's most streamed song
to that point. Life of Sossa wasn't even
a week old when she released "TMU," the
first track from her follow-up project. By the
end of the following March, she issued 4EVER
SOSSA, an EP. An expanded deluxe edition of the
set was out that September, and it was soon trailed
by singles such as "Real Freak" and her first 2023 offering,
"Never Be the Same.
Sally Sossa has proven to be the next voice out of the Houston rap scene. The recent high school graduate has excelled in the books and the industry as she became the first female talent under Interscope’s joint venture with LISTEN TO THE KIDS. Impressing the industry with her 2019 mixtape series, In late 2020 the emerging artist dropped her label debut project “Life of Sossa” which has garnered over 31 million streams globally and includes fan favorite “Star Song” feat. Lil Durk. The single currently has over 25 million streams on spotify and over 1.5 million creates on tik tok. Sally’s new project, “4EVER SOSSA” includes fan favorites, TMU & Moncler Coat and features a guest appearance from Flo Milli on the lead single "Toot It Up". It also highlights her versatility- from her melodic flows to hard-hitting bars, she shows she can hang with any of her peers, men and women alike.
Inspired by the likes of Lil Durk and Nicki Minaj, Sossa’s voice in hip-hop is one of heart and strength with each release setting her apart from her peers. “I want my fans to know that I’m real, I’m authentic, I’m me, and I’m making music to help them,” she says. “I’m growing with my fan base and they’re growing with me.”

Unapologetic and focused are two words that describe singer and
songwriter Miya Guggs. The qualities that allowed her to be an
elite athlete on the basketball court now help the independent
artist launch her music career. A woman of many gifts, Miya’s
talents on the hardwood allowed her to earn a scholarship to her
hometown college basketball team, Kansas City (Kansas)
Community College. Nobody would have blamed Miya if she had
pursued her hoop dreams to their logical conclusion – a college
education, maybe attracting the attention of a Division One school
and becoming a Lady Jayhawk and achieving the ultimate dream
of being drafted into the WNBA. Miya, however had a different
dream. It’s a dream that Miya first spoke into existence during late
nights in the presence of her aunt, Denise. “We would sit there
and watch music videos because me and her are night owls,” Miya
recalled. “We would be up watching music videos, and I
remember watching those videos and I was like, ‘I want to do
that.” This is a part of the story where Auntee Denise tries to talk
sense into the child by telling her about the steep odds she faces
in trying to make it in the music business or describing the
cautionary tales of heartache that befell those tried to make it in
the industry and failed. However, Miya’s aunt encouraged her
niece to follow her dream. “She was like, you can do this, and I was
on my way,” Miya said. The singer and songwriter also received
support from her parents to pursue the music that constantly
played in her head and her heart – even when Miya was on the
court. “It’s crazy because during halftime I would just think about
music,” she recalled. “It was a hard decision to leave basketball
because I do enjoy the game, but school and basketball kind of
wore me down.”With the encouragement from those who cared
for her the most, Miya was all in. “A lot of people expected me to
have a back-up plan, but I don’t really believe in that,” she noted.
“I’m just going to keep going and it was nice to hear
encouragement, especially at a young age, because most people
will tell kids to be more realistic. “I appreciate what my auntee
told me and I feel like the universe spoke through her.” So, Miya
decided to devote efforts to pursing her passion. The results can
now be heard in a series of singles that showcases a vocal her range and diversity that allow her to
move from sultry ballads like “Situationships,” to
conversational rapid fire, hip-hop inspired delivery of “Bad
Boy,” a club banger where Miya playfully and seductively
where she lets a roughneck guy know that she can be his ride
and die chic. “Bad Boy” pairs Miya with Richard Wingo,
member of the legendary R&B group Jagged Edge. That track
gave Miya an opportunity to work artist who made music that
was a part of her mom and aunt’s soundtrack. “It was a very
nostalgic feeling and I really enjoyed working with him,” Miya
recalled. “He’s funny and a very talented person. And yeah, my
mom and my aunt listened to Jagged Edge a lot, so they were
really excited for me.” “Situationships,” Miya’s latest single,
provides insight into her songwriting process. The song tells
the story of a person trying to manage emotions and
expectations in a relationship.“Iwas on Twitter one day and
one of the topics that was really trending was situationships,
and I was like I can talk about that because I’ve experienced
that,” she recalled. “So I kind of put my little take on it – my
little two cents and it became something really cool. “It was
how I was feeling in that moment and it came out really great.”
Miya takes her next step in her career when her EP, “Patterns,”
drops later this year. “I’m excited for that and I am putting the
finishing touches on it.” The EP will be a mix of new tracks and
tunes from her existing catalog. She said that the album’s title
tells a story. “It actually refers to the patterns in relationships
that I’ve seen that are just negative and I am kind of making
people aware of that.” That mindset of using music to seek
truth shows that Miya is following a path laid down by singers
like Amy Winehouse, SZA and Jazmine Sullivan. “All of those
women are unapologetically themselves and that is what
draws me toward them, and that is what inspires me to be
unapologetically myself,” she said. “That is what it’s all about.
“Following your own dreams and being an inspiration to
others to achieve their dreams. The same thing that those
artists do for me, I want to do for others.”
