What’s really good? Ortizus is taking over the blogs this month, you know the vibes!
It’s getting warm out so you know what that means! It’s time to press refresh on those playlists and jam out some new tunes–including the latest drop from one our local favorites, IshDarr!
It’s common knowledge that the local giant who took over Milwaukee and nationwide airways with hits like “Too Bad”,“Sugar” and “The Real” has taken a long hiatus from the limelight. While projects have dropped over the years, we haven’t heard or really seen IshDarr in the forefront the way we did back in the 2015/2016 era but boy do we have some news for you!
IshDarr is back with his latest single, “6”, that quite literally addresses his hiatus. Luring us in with bass boosts and a monotone hook, I think he’s perfecting his recipe. With parts directly relating to our Milwaukee Bucks and our newly found “Bucks in 6” energy, he’s warning us about his comeback.The way people counted the Bucks out of the playoffs and ruled out the underdog, he takes his time to harness that same energy in regards his career and makes it a point to let us know that he won’t be making any more “messes” that impact his career— “Less talk, stop the press, had to clean up my mess.”
He has returned and he’s ready to take on the music head first and we are so amped for this comeback! It’s giving calm before the storm. It’s giving interlude before the album, maybe? EP? Mixtape? All I know is–we need more!
We can’t wait to see how IshDarr plans to take over this summer! A Lot of y’all said y’all missed the 2015/2016 summer so… we shall see how nostalgic we can get!
If you want to hear this ode to redemption from one of the best artist in the city, you know what to do: https://music.apple.com/us/album/6-single/1680754062
Are y’all getting excited for this summer? I feel the heat already! Catch it! #Bucksin6

Spider Creek 7 is a 2 day recording session bringing together an eclectic group of artists from across the city of milwaukee. With recording artists of all genres and skill sets. The goal of Spider Creek 7 for each artist is to create great music with other talented people they may have never worked with before. We ask that if you would like to support you repost the flyer for the event on instagram. It will be posted on Spider Creeks account ( @spider.creek). If you would like to get involved you may either DM @spider.creek on instagram or email spidercreekarts@gmail.com .
Spider Creek is a music collective based out of Milwaukee Wisconsin full of an eclectic group of artists ranging from musicians and producers to visual artists. Sonically, the group enjoys the term “Genre Fluid” to describe their sound. On any given night you may hear rock, blues, hip hop, R&B as well as many other genres. The collective’s inception took place in March of 2020. In an attempt to escape the insanity of the early stages of the pandemic the 4 original members, SAINTRÈ, IanJames. , Makatà and Lizzie Kay rented a house in northern Wisconsin on a body of water called “Spider Creek”, with the intent of writing a collaboration album. At the end of the week they had finished the project and went their separate ways as artists. Over the course of the next year and a half they continued to have Spider Creek recording sessions while maintaining their solo artist status. It wasn’t until January of 2022 that the 4 decided to focus on creating a collective. Since that time the group has invited new artists to each session, and added two new members into the collective full time, Keyba and LOVEPeso, only intensifying the complexity and eclectic nature that Spider Creek embodies.

In this Issue of CopyWrite Magazine, we take a strategic exploration of legacy. Noting the people, organizations, and cultural convergers that came before us. This, and all other publications we have released, are archives that WE exist and will not be forgotten in the folds of history. We understand that without the headway our predecessors have made, we would not be here. We also understand that history is only archived if someone deems it worthy and the narrative is always guided by the perspectives left "on wax".
Interviews w/ Reggie Baylor, Mutòpe Johnson, Element Everest-Blanks, Jeffrey McAlister, Ex Fabula Ft. Dasha Kelly

In this issue of CopyWrite Magazine, we curated a group of voices that are multifaceted in their journeys. Some features show change as a means of survival, others have relearned their position in the world to combat generational disenfranchisement, and even more, have renegotiated their complacent realities for passion and purpose. Shape Shifting pay homage to the many forms creativity manifest.
Interviews w/ Razito Zulu, Steph Crosely, Style Pop Cafe, Shonn Hinton, Yaya Edmonds, and Tru West
What a Room it was when thinking back to the faces seen at Company Brewing on Black Fri- I mean ‘Vibeday.’ DJ FreakishNerd kept our favorite musical artists, both mainstream and local of course, in a grand rotation as the space was overtaken by creatives, known and unknown, along with the ‘average joe’. This was very tactful of Miss Mocha; bringing the Artistic Community together as an indirect way of experiencing a bit of that Thanksgiving energy with our peers. Watching the room gradually fill up with so many way makers, innovators, and game changers is something to be thankful for. Now of course when that first hour or 2 goes by, we start feeling good, including the DJ, having had a few shoots himself, we all get to hittin’ that two-step, whether we're still hesitant and keeping near to our seats or are casually making our way to the main floor, but that was not the case for too long. Towards the night’s end, the spirit of Milwaukee’s golden age of fun and youth came out as a circle of models, rappers, CEO’S, dancers, musicians, and entrepreneurs alike were provoked to form a circle at the sight of two creatives engaging into a battle: I’m talkin’ bout hittin’ the stollie and bangin’ like its ‘09! ‘Aye, Aye! Huh, Huh!’ Everyone was shouting and cheering altogether. Personally, what I believe to be the highlight of a night like this.
