By Crowd Editor 2:04:00 PM , ,

 

MotzANeli recorded a live version of his “When They Went Solo” playlist early one morning. Despite occasional stumbles, interruptions, and awkward vocal repetitions, the footage, about an hour long, reveals a side of the curator fans rarely see. While we understand your appreciation for the original playlist and your love for the video breakdown, we can only imagine your reaction to his playful self-deprecation during this live show. This was a captivating version of the playlist featuring dope musicians from great groups who have successfully transitioned to solo careers and Motzy has apparently brought joy to this experience for a third time.

JoinDaCrowd Radio: (Episode 28) “When They Went Solo”

By Crowd Editor 11:19:00 PM , ,

 

Motzy Says…. 

“It is bittersweet when a standout member of a group decides to go solo. While we cherish the group’s unity, we cannot help but recognize the individual’s talent and hope for their future endeavors. Throughout history, numerous artists have chosen to embark on solo careers. Iconic figures like Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie exemplify this trend. This compilation spans the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, encompassing various genres such as pop, R&B, and hip-hop. Each of these artists has left an indelible mark on the music industry, and their solo works are among my personal favorites. I trust that you have enjoyed this compilation as much as I did in curating it."



MotzANeli goes into full detail of each song on this playlist through its origin, sample, producers, recording process, track listing and more.

Playlists Of Life - “When They Went Solo”

By Crowd Editor 5:00:00 PM , , ,

 

37 memorable songs at a lil over 2 hours where music artists from some of our favorite groups took the solo route. There was a time when being part of a group was the ultimate way to gain recognition in the music industry. Whether it was a duo like the Clipse or a nine-member group like Wu-Tang Clan, having a rap squad carried immense notoriety among supporters and fans who adored them. As with any group, there were certain members who stood out more than the rest, and these were the ones who took the bold step to explore the possibility of releasing a record solo. 

Surprisingly, most of the time, it worked! Iconic figures like Michael Jackson of the Jackson 5 made groundbreaking achievements, and thanks to rapper N.O.R.E, who went solo after his rap partner Capone of CNN was incarcerated, the Neptunes were introduced to the world with his hit song “SuperThug!” While being a solo music artist may require more effort, capitalizing on the momentum gained from being in a successful group and releasing a hit record can significantly enhance your chances of success. This playlist celebrates those who achieved this remarkable feat!

Motzy Says...
"Yeah, I know, it's been a while since we dropped a new playlist but with some new motivation, we connected the name to this one to motivate the listeners. I wanted it to be no more than an hour and a half so there are a few bangers that I left off here like Em's "Lose Yourself" or Wiz's "Work Hard Play Hard" but I feel that this is a solid playlist of motivational music regardless. Hope you enjoyed!"

JoinDaCrowd Radio: (Episode 26) When R&B Was Rhythm and Blues (Vol. 2 of 4)

By Crowd Editor 6:44:00 PM , ,

 

Motzy Says......

"Early on music artists like Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and The Temptations created a sound of music that blended soul, country funk and pop. Mostly based around the ins and outs of love and relationships, we would later deem this sound as rhythm and blues because of its melodies combined with storytelling. Broken down into 4 volumes of 24/25 songs each, here is more of our personal favorites that most call classics as we keep this series going. Hope you enjoyed volume 2. 2 more to go. Stay tuned....."
