MsTVAnka chops it up with Aion Clarke about his new mixtape and more!

MsTVAnkA: Tell me about your new mixtape, “The Leaks”, what can listeners expect to hear?

Aion Clarke: Listeners can expect to hear melodies reminiscent of 90’s R&B (which to me was a great era in the genre), you’re gonna hear real subject matter, you will also hear Bryan Michael Cox, Noah Shebib and more make for some of the best production on this planet, and I’m gonna be singing my you know what off!!

MsTVAnkA: A lot of people refer to you as a “true R&B artist”, what sets you apart from other R&B artists today?

Aion Clarke: I’m no different from any other true artist R&B artist. I grew up a church boy, singing my first solo at 4 years old and continuing on, singing with choirs and groups, playing the drums and just using the gifts God gave me in a positive way. I’m just doing what God called me to do.

Richie Sosa chops it up with iHustleDaily.com about, well…his hustle!

1. What’s your daily Hustle? What do you do to survive?
Well I’ve always understood that if you work hard now … you live easy later … and if you live easy now … later on in life your gonna be faccked cuz you haven’t  created the foundation necessary to ensure financial stability for yourself. So i do any and anything to get paid as long as it doesn’t involve selling out or selling my ass.

2. What makes you stand out from the rest of the competition? What makes your hustle unique?
A step ladder.  And my hustles unique cuz it’s me. I’m not the first one to rap, work a 9-5, sell drugs (back in the day) but when i do it, it’s genuine and i think that’s a key point in how i’ve been able to connect with so many people on so many levels over the years and still maintain positive growing relationships with meaning. I’m also very extreme. It’s a passionate dedicated go hard or go home mentality i cant get rid of. If i’m goin in … I’M GOING IN … Oh … and i’m black.
