ABOUT GHOSTLUVME:
Tragedy, trials, tribulations, and triumphs forge character. The scars, lessons, and experiences of an often-unbelievable life define Ghostluvme. The Philadelphia-born and Broward County-raised rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer transforms moments of darkness into bright melodies and bold rhymes underlined by a signature sonic fusion of hip-hop beatcraft and punked-out rock instrumentation.
After gathering millions of streams independently and receiving acclaim from KAZI Magazine, Rap-Up Magazine, AllHipHop, and many others, he presents his story in clear focus on a series of 2021 singles and much more to come.
“I have a story to tell,” he affirms. “My career is about turning something bad into something good. I’m using melodies and elements of rap, grunge, and rock to share what I’ve gone through and learned.”
At ten-years-old, his family endured an unspeakable tragedy. In the midst of a high-speed pursuit, the suspect-at-large crossed multiple lanes of the highway and crashed into a car occupied by Ghostluvme’s mom and two older sisters who unfortunately did not survive in what the police deemed a “murder-suicide.”
“Music is my way to honor their memory,” he elaborates. “I can play guitar, I can sing, and I can rap, so this is the best thing I can do to pay my respects to them. I feel like their ghosts are watching over me, which eventually inspired the name.”
From this point onwards, his father raised him alone. With dad constantly busy at work, he retreated into music, learning flamenco guitar at school, and teaching himself drums, bass, and piano via YouTube. At the same time, he listened to the likes of Prince, David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Nirvana, XXXTentacion, Lil Uzi Vert, and Future, sampling a cross-section of genres and drawing on a wide palette of inspiration. In order to pursue music, he eventually relocated to Los Angeles and recorded countless songs at a prolific pace, honing his chops as a vocalist, producer, and musician in earnest.
During 2020, he formally introduced himself with Eccendentesiast, generating 1 million streams between cuts like “Wendy Darling,” “Dreaming,” “Long Live Marquise,” and “Bullvine,” to name a few. He also collaborated with heavyweights such as the legendary Scott Storch [Dr. Dre, DJ Khaled, 50 Cent] and RonnyJ [XXXTentacion, Ski Mask the Slump God]. The marathon-size 27-track Viva soared with “Pop That” [774K Spotify streams] and “Soda” [727K Spotify streams]. Riding this momentum into 2021, he dropped Don’t Go Gently led by the single “Pill Cosby.” However, he reaches another stratosphere altogether with the project GhostToven—a collaboration with GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum legendary producer Zaytoven.
Future, 21 Savage, Migos]. It features collaborations with a powerhouse guest list, including Lil Keed, Lil Gotit, Slimelife Shawty, and Mad Marcc. It’s also yet another step on his journey as Ghostluvme continues to fulfill his destiny with more music on the horizon.“I’d love for people to immerse themselves in the melodies and lyrics,” he leaves off. “I genuinely care. I’m a musician, first and foremost. Music is what I’m supposed to do. I’m never going to stop creating.”
ABOUT ZAYTOVEN:
His name alone sets the tone for who he is, what he does, and the magnitude of his skill set. Super-producer Xavier “Zaytoven” Dotson copped his name from the German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven because of the many similarities the two musicians share. Both were born in Germany, both mastered the organ and piano at a young age, both boast a genuine interest in music and most notably possessed the same good foresight to align themselves with key people who could help further their careers. For Beethoven it was the dignitaries of Vienna, for Zaytoven it was Gucci Mane, king of the streets of east Atlanta.
Zaytoven is the epitome of a multi-layered musical genius. He has been on his grind behind closed doors for over a decade. Not only has he mastered playing the guitar, drums, organ, and piano by ear, but he is also a gifted producer, songwriter, and performer. The man behind the magic can even be considered an instrument himself, expressing his passion and poetry through keys, strings, and drumheads. While he wears many hats, he wears them all well, constantly re-inventing himself and his sound to become a crucial force in the entertainment industry.
Zaytoven laces Breadwinner Kane with a new single beat for the anticipated single and video release for “Smoke.” “Smoke” is set to appear on Kane’s forthcoming EP “Street Certified” which will feature Boosie, Fredo Bang, Haitian Fresh, and more. Connect with Kane on socials: @kanebwa
The song is a testament to dating in 2021, and how people might not be who they appear to be. With a creative delivery over Zaytoven’s dreamy and bass heavy production, “Love Me Not” explores what goes through a man’s mind when he feels his love interest is untrustworthy.
Allen “Grindin Pun” Lane was born on January 26, 1990, on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois. He was raised in the Henry Horner Projects, just blocks away from the United Center, home to the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks. Being raised near the United Center opened Pun’s eyes to expensive homes and condos, luxurious cars, high-end fashion, and expensive jewelry. Although only nine-years-old when he first discovered he was a talented lyricist, Pun knew that he would one day live the of the rich and famous on his terms.
In early 2001, at the age of eleven, Pun and three of his cousins formed the rap group, S.W.A.T. In 2006, as new members joined the group and became intrigued by Pun’s cool, yet sly demeanor, the name of the group was changed to Chi-Town Shysters, with Pun serving as its leader. Upon entering high school, the group sought out ways to make money to finance their careers, which they believed could catapult the group to a new level. Some got jobs and others locked into the streets to make money. Now with more capital, the group was able to make an impact on the local underground rap scene.
In January 2007, the Chi-Town Shysters were featured on Fox News Chicago for their accomplishments, with the exposure opening many lucrative doors that allowed them to become more regionally known. Capitalizing on the exposure, Pun has made countless business endeavors, has repeatedly appeared on public access television, has been featured on 28 mixtapes, and has released 5 solo albums.
In 2015, Pun left the dangerous streets of Chicago for Phoenix, Arizona, where he was blessed to be in the presence of Les Paul Rogue, a music sensation who once performed with Kool and the Gang, Billy Paul, and Sister Sledge. While in Arizona, Pun continued to work on his music, producing “Pills and Patron”, which quickly became Pun’s highest viewed video, with a combined 2+ million views. Pun would go on to produce for videos and perform on stages across the West Coast. But in December 2020, after realizing that Arizona was not a good fit for his advancing music career, Pun picked up and moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
Since moving to Atlanta, Pun has worked with in-house producer Shaun Heard, with the two of them creating a number of hit songs, including “Fine Wine”, that caught the interest of three-time Grammy award winning recording artist, Ne-Yo. He would go on to host “Fine Wine” releasing it as the number one song on his unsigned artist playlist. Following the release of the Ne-Yo project, Pun received a message from Zaytoven, which led to him getting production from him and creating “Love Me Not”.
“It’s a blessing to be able to work with someone we grew up listening to. Zay was just as famous to us as the artists that rapped on his beats. I am anxious to see the type of response and growth this song generates. I feel great about it and [feel] like it’s perfect timing”.
