[Video] @SmileyHittown 'Good Vibes' Ft @IamJoanaKing, @Mcklezie

CEO and founder Smiley, of Hittown Records, along with various artists from the label are releasing their first Summer 2020 single and is set to be one of many.

Broward County, FL - Today, Friday, July 3, 2020, the new single “Good Vibes” featuring Joana King, Mcklezie, and Smiley is set to be released. Production began in November of 2016. Produced by Super Producer Jay Anglin, this Club/Dance mega anthem is set to become the official Summer 2020 Hit. “Good Vibes” is available for listening/streaming on all platforms. “Good vibes” is the good feeling record for everybody no matter what color you are, if you’re male or female, young or old It’s for everybody. If you like having fun, this is the soundtrack for you. It doesn’t matter whether you are cleaning your house, at a barbecue, or celebrating your birthday this song is for you and for now,” said Jay Anglin, Super Producer. Due to COVID-19, we are unable to know exactly when clubs and strips will be open. To adjust Hittown Records decided to provide their audience with an at-home club/dance song to keep hopes alive and energy high in these tough times. “It was a song we had in the vault that fit a time in which the world needed “Good Vibes.” The idea is to have a colorless record with any generation dancing and enjoy the vibe. I felt good when I made this record and I feel even better now that it is out. This one should set the mark for artists and companies. When u have experiences with artists it helps with the new artist development. Joana King is the first girl with Miami’s “Juke Record”. Mcklezie is a veteran having had local and national hits “I’m So High“ from Grind Mode and “Get F**k up“ by Iconz. The times are changing and I built Hittown Records to last. Major companies are folding all across the world but for us, it’s coming out party,” said Smiley, CEO, and founder. Hittown Records understands and sympathizes with all affected and involved as it relates with COVID-19. We stand by the CDC guidelines and regulations in hopes things will soon return back to normal.

Dr. Scot Brown "Last Man [Remix]" ft. Mr. Ric, Bryonn Bain and Rick Marcel

Dr. Scot Brown is not just a historian of music, he makes it.

Brown -- a renowned scholar, music historian and commentator -- who's made appearances on HBO/Cinemax, TV One, VHl, Sirius/ XM Radio, BET /Centric, National Public Radio and PBS, recently released his debut single, "Last Man", a danceable and uplifting tune inspired by a style of Reggae music known as Lovers Rock.

Brown's experience as a musician and songwriter is the untold force behind his dynamic insights, artist interviews and presentations. Having grown up in Rochester, NY he played in a local band called Radiance during his high school years, and always kept his funk shield close while combining his love of music and history to become a published author, educator, and public speaker. "Last Man” features two of his musical comrades from Rochester, NY: singing sensation Mr. Ric, and guitar whiz/vocalist, Rick Marcel. The song also includes a rap verse by fellow UCLA professor, Bryonn Bain.

Dr. Brown considers "Last Man" as a call "to see beauty in one another during these challenging times."
