If you’ve followed my Music Monday posts at all there is a good chance that you’ve seen Chase Stebbins featured here a few times. He was a local Boston rapper who is now living in Los Angeles trying to follow his dreams.
In my opinion this is probably his best song, it shows his true growth as an artist, trying out a different sound, and making it work. This video is dope too, I just had to throw that out there.
Luckily I was able to ask Chase a few songs about his new sound, his big move to LA, and his biggest influences.
1) What inspired this song? The song was about a conversation i had with my mother about moving to LA and following my dream
2) This is a new sound from you, are you planning on continuing down this route or just continue to try out different sounds? I do want to continue down this route when it comes to my sound. I am comfortable on every record now. I know who I am with my music now and because of that I can start growing
3) You’re a Massachusetts native who ventured out to Los Angeles to follow his dreams. What was the hardest part of moving across country? The hardest part was giving up all the connections and relationships back home. It’s a complete fresh start which is scary for some, but I learned to love the challenge.
4) Can we expect a full album or mixtape any time soon? I have a few things in the works, but don’t hold your breathe for a full on album just yet
5) What artists inspire you the most when it comes to your own music? I’m currently taking a lot of inspiration from Mac Miller and Chance The Rapper. I love to watch them perform because they just let the music and beat pull them and make it look so natural.
Chase is definitely making waves on his own though on the West Coast. He has already performed at a ton of different venues, and is headlining his first show tomorrow May 16th at The Study Hollywood.
All that I can say is Chase has come a long way from rapping Eminem at karaoke to putting together incredible songs with deep lyrics.
Today up and coming rapper Chase Stebbins released a visually stunning music video for “10 AM”. The song also features up and coming vocalist Miranda Rose, who has an incredible voice.
Chase is originally from Boston but moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming the next big thing. Clearly he has a lot of talent and I genuinely believe that he will make it. With his rapping ability, play on words, and nice smile, there’s no way he won’t make it. His hustle is also like no other, something you have to respect.
In case you were wondering he has already opened for artists like Big Sean and Jeremih.
I have said a lot of things about The Chainsmokers this year, and I won’t take it back, but I will say that this is a really awesome move. If you have even kind of kept up with this blog you’re aware that I love the Backstreet Boys. So any time any other group wants to bring them out on stage, or whatever, I am all about it!
Last night The Chainsmokers performed at their biggest venue yet. They had their first solo show at Los Angeles Convention Center and have been teasing the set list for a while now. Did anyone think they would bring out the legendary Backstreet boys? Absolutely not.
They also brought out Big Sean but let’s be real. Backstreet Boys all day!
If you remember, Celebrities Are Tragic featured Chase back in May with his song “Love U” and he is back out with another hit, “10 AM”.
Somehow, I don’t know how, but Chase is an unsigned artist with incredible talent. He is an amazing writer and rapper, with songs that come from the heart. It is one of the many reasons why I have been a fan of this artist since day one. His focus on perfecting his craft is extremely impressive and with each new track, he just keeps getting better.
This song is a more personal track for Chase, which he explained to me. “So it was written for a girl I had a one night stand with I had to be at work at 10 am the next day, so it’s all the events leading up to that.” Chase then went on to explain that the girl meant more to him than just a casual hookup, but he moved to Los Angeles and she moved to Colorado.
My absolute favorite line is “I wish I missed my 10 am shift”, why? Everyone has those moments when they have responsibilities they have to take care of and sometimes you wonder what if you stuck around. Would things have changed? Who knows, because you had to take care of those responsibilities.
Big shout out to the female vocalist on the track Miranda Lambert! She sounded incredible!
Chase is going to blow up, I promise. If you are in the Los Angeles area, click on his Facebook line below to find out where he is performing, maybe in an area near you!
Be sure to follow his personal SoundCloud , Twitter, and Facebook for updates and become a fan before he is a household name!

Well, it looks like D’Angelo Russell broke “bro code” and now every player on the Lakers hate him. Why you ask? A recent video came out that D’Angelo recorded as a supposed prank, where Nick Young admits to bringing a girl home from the club.
Apparently D’Angelo did this as a prank because Nick had no idea he was being filmed, but I don’t see how this is a prank? I mean is it funny to film someone admitting to cheating on their fiancee and then post it on SnapChat? I really have no idea.
NBA star Nick Young Caught on Video Admitting To Cheating On Iggy With A 19-Year-Old Girl After The Club! pic.twitter.com/9ny9tDG0Mb
You can hear Nick stating that he is 30 and the girl brought home was 19.
According to reports there has been a serious rift because of this, “bro code” and locker room talk aren’t meant to be broken!
After reading some of these comments on different articles it is pretty disgusting. People say that all basketball players are cheaters and Iggy is stupid for being with one at all. I mean, maybe she fell in love guys, I am sure she wasn’t aware that her soon to be husband was bringing home girls from the club. That’s just what I think though.
Iggy hasn’t made an official comment about the video but she did tweet.
hmmm i see D Angelo Russell is trending… I actually liked his film. Thanks bro.
No word on whether that was sarcasm or what, no word on whether or not the engagement is over. All that has been confirmed is that no one cares about Iggy and how she is probably heartbroken, everyone is just mad that D’Angelo broke the “bro code”.
Also, Amber Rose shout out at the end, apparently Nick never tried because she knows Iggy.
There’s nothing quite like finding a new love to get over a broken heart.
Such seems to be the case with Selena Gomez and Orlando Bloom. The pair was spotted together Saturday outside of the Chelsea Handler show in Los Angeles, reports TMZ.
Once the “Hobbit” star saw paps he reportedly got up and left.
They arrived in the same car together and looked comfortable in each other’s company throughout the night, sources told HollywoodLife.com.
Damn Orlando Bloom, looking haggard as shit! I mean I know he was probably trying to run away from the paparazzi but still. He is looking wily as hell. Selena isn’t looking too good either, but is anyone surprised with that? She is heading down a rough path.
I remember I heard about rumors about this couple from a while ago but I just said no way. Now after this picture, maybe. This paparazzi is probably one of the luckiest paparazzi in the world. These two were just going to have a smoke during the Chelsea Handler show but the lucky paparazzi knew where to go!
Anyway, this is probably just some rebound bang type of thing, can you blame them? Back in 2012 there were rumors that Justin Bieber and Miranda Kerr had hooked up. Orlando is probably so happy that he is able to hang out with Selena, ultimate rebound sex. Am I right? No? I think so.
Still fucking random right? Legolas and Selena Gomez, never thought that was going to happen.
I have on serious question, why are they still hiding the fact they are a couple? I mean the whole world knows, so why do they need to hide it? I mean just look at the way Rihanna looks at him in these pictures! I could just die! So beautiful! Back in November I posted about how these two would end up together, I am usually right!
Stop hiding from the world and just come out as a couple already! No one would hate you, we would all love you for it! Come out with more songs, more Oh Na Na, and get married!
“Something I’ve never talked about before, but with my drug use I could hide it to where I would sneak drugs. I couldn’t go without 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes,” the 21-year-old singer said. “I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there. I’d sneak to the bathroom and I’d do it. That’s how difficult it got and that was even with somebody [with me], I had a sober companion, somebody who was watching me 24/7 and living with me [and] I was able to hide it from them as well.”
“I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just nine in the morning and I was throwing up in the car and this was just to get on a plane to go back to LA to the sober living house that I was staying at…I had all the help in the world, but I didn’t want it,” Demi said about her rock bottom moment. “When I hit that moment I was like, it’s no longer fun when you’re doing it alone. I’ve really never talked about this stuff before… I don’t know if I should be sharing this.”
“I think at 19 years old, I had a moment where I was like, ‘Oh my God… that is alcoholic behavior. [It’s] no longer, I’m young and rebellious and out having fun, it was, wow, I’m one of those people…I gotta get my s*** together,’” she explained.
After reading this interview I realized why Demi wasn’t mad at Joe for exposing that she made him smoke weed for the first time. He still basically called her crazy which was really uncalled for, extremely uncalled for actually….ANYWAY.. It was because she was ready unload about her coke filled younger years, which I am not very surprised about. The rumor is that she punched a back up dancer in the fact after the singer joked about Demi’s coke problem, then the next day she got sent to rehab.
It is kind of refreshing to hear someone opening up about their drug problem though, right? Usually it is all about how they are just lies. Demi is like yeah, I did coke, I am bipolar, fuck you! Good for her standing up for herself. I do think she is a better idol than most because she is open about the problems that she has faced rather than act like it didn’t happen. You will never see B.Spears talking about when she shaved her head and ran around with an umbrella!
So you go Demi, you keep reaching out and talking about how you over came some struggles! Thanks for being human!
So last night was the Jingle Ball concert in LA where the biggest names playing were Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Ariana Grande. According to a lot of different people there was a ton of issues with technical stuff. Ariana Grande’s song was all fucked up and she threw shade at Gomez saying “At least I don’t use a back track.” Once I read that I immediately Youtubed the Selena Gomez issues.
Let’s just say little Ms.Gomez is probably getting someone fired today. She did fucking awful, she should also fire whoever thought it would be good for her to dress with a bob and look gothic as fuck. Selena will make sure heads will roll, she plays this little nice girl but you can tell she is a real bitch.
Can we just laugh about the fact Miley Cyrus was probably laughing at the little Gomez’s mishap, she loved every single second of it I am sure!
