As of now the fourth quarter is going to Bay Area ladies. Last Tuesday Netta Brielle’s mixtape and Mara Hruby’s EP dropped and were instantly in rotation. This week Jimmie Reign released her five-track EP Digital Girl, available on iTunes. From Go Girl [...]
Mara Hruby’s first solo singing performance was at Monday Soul. It was her birthday and folks packed into Oakland’s Air Lounge to celebrate. That was the evening that many of us went from recognizing her as a dancer to viewing her as the young lady [...]
No I did not post the wrong song, this is really a Traxamillion song. Usually known for his up-tempo Bay Area slappers, he brings a little someting different for the track “Start Livin.” Anytime Zumbi jumps on a track you know it must be fire. [...]
Netta Brielle is a favorite around these parts. She’s nice, has great energy, and makes music that makes folks want to dance. The 80s is written all over her and pop has a clear influence on her style, but Love, Pain & Music isn’t a tribute to an era. [...]
Lately, the 38th Notes squad has been talking about content and options. We’re trying to bring you even more of what the Bay has to offer including more artists and more events. You might consider it a New Year’s Resolution of sorts (which are always [...]

“I come from a city with absolutely nothing,” Mistah FAB exclaims before proclaiming that his city needs him. There is a part of me that gets defensive at such an indicting statement about Oakland, but then again, it’s true that we have more going against [...]
http://www.hulu.com/embed/W4adKUSqGoKqHr-mN1LSRg The Bay Area’s music scene has always been graced with comedic characters; just think E-40, Mac Dre and Shock G for starters. But with the Lonely Island crew’s ascension to Saturday Night Live, they have [...]
Netta Brielle is a multi-talented diva who was born and raised in the East Bay and has been moving crowds here since childhood. A dynamic vocalist, she was recently selected by 38thnotes and WarriorsWorld.net as one of the 3 hottest up-and-coming female [...]
Pomplamoose is dope, if you hadn’t already concluded that from our previous coverage. Their approach to music is to craft a multimedia experience of split-screen video songs featuring live instrumentation of each and every sonic layer. The Bay Area duo [...]
