"DiVersODy"

By: LaCheston Moore

“Shawty where you headed tonight?” a popular line within the hit single “Tear it Up” by Controversy and Big D, but also a common phrase in which we have all used at some point in time.  One could safely say that with these catchy tag-lines and soothing, yet bouncy music, that they possess the formula for success as their music can move any crowd.

Controversy and Big D capture words such as, “soothing, fun, sexy, and mind provoking” when describing their music to iPubNow. When considering the ideal audience in which the group chooses to target, they would like to win the hearts and minds of the younger-college crowd.

 

After seeing an exhilarating performance at a local sports bar in Birmingham, Alabama, one would find themselves placing bets on when this group will take off.  Energy, they got that; Hype, they got that; Fans, they got that, as I seen them bring in a number of people with them just for their performance that night.  The vibe that was created when Controversy and Big D hit the stage is one that you will find yourself bobbing your head and singing too; and you have to mention dancing.  From authenticating their own dance moves, to singing to the young ladies on the front rows of their shows.  These young cats may have what it takes to take their music to the next level.

iPubNow finally caught up with Controversy and Big D as they have been hitting the studio hard and making videos for their newly released mixtape Lyrical Healing (http://controversybigd.bandcamp.com/album/lyrical-healing).  The mixtape features their highly favored Tear it Up, Ride Wit Me, Put It On Me, and I Must Be The Man.  Some of these tracks do have official music videos that can be viewed on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce09DaQF5H0).

When trying to categorize these young gentlemen, you might find yourself going in circles.  Controversy and Big D told iPubNow that they, “wish to crossover into all genres.  Creating a sound that is like none other in the industry.”

With Controversy and Big D favorite rappers being Eminem and Tupac; and their favorite R&B singers Musiq Soulchild and Sisqo.  One could probably see that they like to mix it up and see what it is that they can produce without mimicking anyone in the industry at all.  The group goes on to state that, “we use no one’s music or style when writing and if we sample anything, its soul music that we produce newly upscale beats to.”

 

Controversy and Big D drive speaks for itself.  Within the next year or so, their goals are to be interviewing and discussing longevity with major record labels.  They are also geared towards ensuring that their music is heard nationwide. 

So in conclusion, on behalf of Controversy and Big D, from iPubNow, “We finna tear it up”.
