Artist AJ Henry goes by the stage name of H.B Almighty and was raised in Roosevelt, Long Island, New York. Ever since he was a young boy, he has had a passion for music and Having the musical background makes him play many instruments along with the spiritual ability to be in the church at one point, AJ made it no secret that music was always around him growing up. It was something that he fell in love with all his life. It was pretty much like breathing to me, he recalls in an interview with a newspaper.
Growing up in The Church
In his mind, church was more of a place to go and do something good with your time than an event that was going to change your life forever. He didn’t feel the need to give up everything in order to serve God, he only felt the need to make himself better in any way possible because he knew deep down that it would be beneficial in the long run.
His Musical Background

His grandmother is her inspiration . She’s one of his biggest fans. In 2019, his grandma passed away and he wanted the best for her.
Choosing a Stage Name
When he first started making music, he had no idea what he wanted the stage name to be. He knew that he wanted something that would represent his faith and his love for music, so he eventually settled on H.B. Almighty. H stands for Heavenly Father, B stands for Best Believe, and Almighty is in reference to God’s almighty power. The heavenly and blessed portions of the name show his faith while the latter part of the name shows how much he truly enjoys playing music.
Covid Time
It was during the pandemic that H.B. caught Covid and it allowed him the space to think and build his brand on what he loves most – music. He had a group of longtime friends that would call him HB as a childhood nickname. He told himself he would recover from COVID, expand his talents, and make his family and Grand Mother proud.

“One of the year’s breakout up and coming artist” – ZekeBeats “Unflinchingly honest, earnestly positive, and resolutely single-minded” – AWF DJ Services “Magicc should be a major label signed artist. Top 40 HIT”- Dan Matthews (Klubjumpers)
13 MAY 2022 (SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – Magicc has unveiled the highly anticipated “Too Late”, the single he has called “Song of the summer” Stream/download “Too Late” HERE.
The release of “Too Late” follows Magiccs’ breakout single and music video “Rewind” which peaked at number 21 on the Top 150 Independent Artist Digital Radio Charts and spent multiple weeks in the top 50 of the same chart (as well as going top 100 globally on DRT Global Chart). Coming off of multiple shows with artists such as Trippie Redd, Soulja Boy and more, Magicc will be killing the stage throughout this coming summer.
Mind catching, soul grabbing and fierce, ‘Too Late’ is an anthem for men and women to reflect on how their actions and bad habits can lead to their spouse being pushed away and finding new love. Written by Magicc – the highly talented artist behind ‘Rewind’ – ‘Too Late’ arrives alongside an iconic video directed by James Karoki AKA JayScribe, who has previously worked with the likes of the New Mexico United Professional Soccer team as a videographer. The video further showcases this talented, increasingly- fearless young artist living out all his wildest super-star-dreams, but in a manner that displays his big heart.
This is an extraordinary journey that Magicc has worked towards his whole life (even dropping out of college two years ago to pursue the goal and follow the journey further). Still aged just 23 years old, the chartting independent artist has already surpassed over 200 thousand combined streams since beginning his music journey.
Out of some troubling times Magicc has fashioned a sensational, boiling hot summer record, a head bopping, energy flowing single, which can sit proudly on a global stage next to The Weeknd, Tory Lanez and Jack Harlow. In mood, if not exactly in sound, it has some of the complete realization and energy as some of the latest The Weekend, work.
Now poised to join the pantheon of international pop greats, his tireless energy, positivity and drive were never going to allow Magicc to settle for anything other than ‘High Expectations’ and ‘High Output”. In years to come watch Magicc meet them and keep reaching higher still.

The future of Hip-Hop is here; 8-year-old Lil Jeezy brings fresh sound to the table with hot new single
LAS VEGAS, NV – A fun track from a young new artist is lighting up the West Coast and causing quite a buzz among music industry insiders and fans alike. “I’m A Baller” is the debut single from 8-year-old rapper Lil Jeezy. The son of long-time songwriter and recording artist D’jon, Lil Jeezy has burst onto the scene with his own brand of hip-hop that showcases his fun, carefree style and entertaining performance. Written by his father, “I’m A Baller” is a fun, upbeat track that’s all about being good at basketball and football. Inspired by his love of sports, the song also features a short-film that showcases the young star chasing his dreams of being a professional athlete and putting in the work to achieve those dreams.
“I love being active and competitive, and I love shooting the basketball,” Lil Jeezy said. “I like the same type of music as my dad, and I’ve grown up watching him record and produce music, so it’s fun for me being creative. I love telling a story with my lyrics.”
Lil Jeezy’s father was an athlete and has been involved with music as a career for many years, but he’s never encouraged any of his children to follow in his footsteps. He’s been intentional about supporting them in whatever passion they choose to pursue, and for the most part those passions have been with athletics. But for his youngest son, the notion of making music is something that attracted him at a young age and when he was 6 years old he finally approached his father about creating a song together.
“When he was 6 he just out of the blue was like, ‘Dad, I want to do a music video. Can we do it today?’” D’jon said. “I said, ‘Well, we need music first.’ So, we got some production from two-time Grammy-nominated producer DJ Vudu Spellz and I wrote the song. He’s been an athlete for the past couple of years, so when I asked him what he wanted the song about he said sports. When we got ready to record it, he had the whole thing memorized and he took direction very well, as far as vocal production, and he fell in love with the process and now wants to do even more songs.”
D’jon says they’ve been working ever since on building a brand and plan for pursuing Lil Jeezy’s dreams moving forward. Part of that plan involves creating music videos that are more like short films than traditional music videos. That’s where the idea of creating a story called “Follow Your Dreams” came from – something that builds off the themes of Lil Jeezy’s debut song, but takes it further through video mediums and will continue in future videos.
“It’s an inspirational story for kids,” D’jon said. “If there’s something you want to accomplish, put in the work and you can make it happen. With this first video it shows him hanging out with friends on a Saturday morning, and when the friends leave,he gets bored and so he picks up a basketball and he’s absolutely horrible. After a frustrating effort, he sits down on the ball and starts daydreaming. During the daydream he realizes his dream is to become a great basketball and football player. It’s as though, even at a young age, he is such a sports superstar that his games are nationally televised. He has fans and he even has haters. After the daydream is over, he asks his dad to teach him how to play basketball. Being that basketball was his first love, dad becomes elated at his son’s request. Then after months of hard work and dedication, he shows his growth from working hard and there are highlights from his first season ever playing, in which he is much better than he was when he first picks up the ball in the video. He’s a living example that hard work pays off.”
Lil Jeezy is eager for new fans to check out his music and get a taste for the unique sound and style he’s bringing to the game. It’s been many years since there’s been a young artist like Lil Bow Wow or Lil Romeo in the game, and D’jon is certain Lil Jeezy will be able to fill that vacuum with an amazing natural talent. With songs and subject matter that comes straight from the mind of an 8-year-old, Lil Jeezy’s music is nothing short of fun and entertaining.

"I Like The Way That" is about someone who is in love with their best friend but is afraid to say it. They keep giving them signs or trying to show them that they are meant to be.
The main questions are: There is some passion between us both, but is it something more than a simple attraction? Does the other person have feelings as well or is it all in my head? Should I give it a try or should I not ruin a perfect friendship?
Are they catching feelings too or are they simply being kind?
So many questions can remain unanswered between two people... Should we give it a try?
This song is about being somehow stuck in the scary so-called "friendzone". It isn't healthy for either side to remain friends with someone only in hope that they'll take us as their partner one day. We can't force love, it finds us.
As woman we go through so many phases of our life. Many times finding that we've lost a part of ourselves along the way because we're so busy with everyday life.
With this particular project I wanted to embrace the side of myself I hadn't seen in a very long time. That side of me that was fun, free, fearless, dangerous and sensual. Wow and it felt so good feeling free to be me.
I challenge all women to embrace all of themselves again. The woman you used to be combined with the woman you've become is unstoppable.
