Hip-Hop artist, Founder, Creator, and CEO of Miami Pop Up, Michael McDonald, is revolutionizing the Miami Music Scene through his legacy. As a local Miami Hip-Hop artist, better known as Made in Philly to his fans, McDonald released his first album South Street to South Beach in September 4th, 2020. The layered album presents a mixture of endlessly-playable array of tracks with deftly-produced beats accompanied by raw, skillful lyrics. Reaching 100k streams on music platforms, Michael’s hit showed no sign of slowing down.

Stemming from his own passion for music, McDonald wanted to design an environment of exposure for artists and entrepreneurs alike by creating the Miami Pop Up. On February 4th, 2019, McDonald’s first Miami Pop Up event became a platform for local independent artists and entrepreneurs to showcase their talent, budding businesses, and individual brands. Making his dream a legacy, McDonald’s monthly Miami Pop Up showcases the epitome of the diverse Miami culture at various venues selling out the event weeks in advance. The event has hosted artists including New York rapper & artist Dave East, NFL star Jerome Baker, Jim Jones, Trina, DJ Stevie J, Foreign Teck, Tory Lanez, and DJ Bodega.

Having experienced multiple hardships in life himself, McDonald is aware of the impact small gestures can make in people’s lives. Driven to further give back abundantly to the community, McDonald founded The Give Back Foundation. Through the foundation, McDonald makes it a point to ensure that those gestures are done in the most impactful way possible for those in need. The foundation hosts numerous events that provide water, food, clothing, and health and wellness vendors to the homeless and those in need. The foundation also holds annual holiday events such as the Give Back Toy Drive where they also accept donations through Christmas Eve. Like the Miami Pop Up, the events for the Give Back Foundation continuously grow with each event showing the significance of value and dedication for the foundation.

Through his music and promotional efforts, McDonald knows that growth means nothing if you are not also honorably giving back to the community that contributed to your growth. As McDonald continues to impact the local community through events, he also is prepping to inspire the Miami Music Scene further with his sophomore Made in Philly release, Pandemic Pack, accompanied by numerous album tracks.

Lil $o$o Enjoys The View In New Visual “Passion”

Enlisting Sexyy Red director Suave Films for the Remdolla produced small screen interpretation, Lil $o$o signals a compelling exploration beyond her usual Rap style and leans into the realm of R&B with the release of “Passion.” Following “Enhancements,” the timely track unveils a vulnerable dimension that showcases her versatility as an artist. With emotive lyrics and a smooth melody, “Passion” shines light on a deeper layer of $o$o’s artistry, inviting listeners into a journey of introspection and raw emotion.

In a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about single, the Issa Rae-approved “Florida Girl” reveals: “I love this record because it really shows another side of me. Sometimes, I feel like people are so materialistic or surface level, and I really am starting to see that ‘real’ is rare. I hope to find something deeper than that and that’s what made me put that into my music.”

There’s something in the water. From the City Girls to Kodak Black, with a long list of others, the Sunshine State has been the stomping ground for hip-hop’s culture shifters. Entertainer Lil $o$o is looking to keep that tradition alive. Despite being native to Chicago, since moving to Miami in her early childhood, she’s proudly claimed it as her musical home.

The 22-year-old Colombiana, whose real name is Sofia Donado, has persevered through trauma and pain and continues to show up for herself and her 3-year-old son, who she’s raising as a single mom. Lil $o$o’s boyfriend was gunned down in 2019, while sitting in his car, leaving her without a partner and their son without a father. He was in the music business, and after his passing, Lil $o$o found healing in discovering her musical voice. The result was upbeat rhythms intended to make people dance, smile, and feel free. It was the only way she knew how to make things better.

After laying the groundwork with promo singles “Better Life,” “Go Ooh,” “Bad Attitude,” and “Woo Tang,” the rising rapstress made her official debut Summer of 2022 with ‘$o$o World.’ Executive produced by mentor and label head LunchMoney Lewis, the 14-track collection of records includes additional instrumentation from JulianBeatz, SFL Xavi, TheonlyDiet, Toju, BrianXWhite, Diem, and SoundsbyBreezy. Guest features come by way of Roc Nation recording artist Bobby Fishscale, XXXTentacion affiliate C Glizzy, Warner Records vocalist Savannah Cristina, and Nelle.
