The Voice of The People

Lord Daze & L.A. Quinn take us on a road to Colombia

The Road to Colombia: How Lord Daze Linked with L.A. Quinn and Turned a Birthday Trip into a Global Music Movement!

On the coast of Cartagena, Colombia

In the vibrant heart of Colombia, where the Caribbean breeze meets the rhythm of the streets, a movement was born. What began as a birthday celebration for Curvy Chrissy in Cartagena would soon spiral into a journey of creativity, ambition, and music that refuses to be confined by borders.

At the center of it all stood Lord Daze, the mastermind behind the Scrilla Guerillaz imprint, a name built on hustle, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to culture. Known for turning street dreams into multicultural platforms spanning New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, Daze had already carved his lane. But now, he had his sights set on Colombia.

Fate had other plans.

A Meeting That Changed Everything

Cholon Island, Colombia

Cartagena—a city of color, history, and endless possibilities—set the stage for what came next. Daze wasn’t supposed to be here for business, but destiny doesn’t wait for convenience. Through his business partner, Monsta Yo, he was introduced to L.A. Quinn, better known as Lionheart, an artist with a fearless work ethic and a knack for seizing opportunities. The chemistry was instant.

These weren’t just two artists meeting. This was a collision of ambition, a fusion of two creative juggernauts who saw the world the same way: as something to be conquered.

With them were Los Angeles-based TV director Renato Moore and Colombian photographer/videographer Jonathan Ferreira, capturing the magic behind the scenes. What followed was an unplanned, unapologetic dive into the heartbeat of Colombia.

Yacht excursions. Penthouse parties. Nights lost in the electric pulse of the city. Mud volcanoes. Lavish dinners. Music, laughter, and beautiful women. It was a blur of indulgence and inspiration, the kind of trip that fuels art, reinvents perspectives, and leaves a permanent mark on the soul.

And in the midst of it all, Daze and Quinn hit the studio.

Their first collaboration, “And We Pray”, was recorded and shot in less than 24 hours. The hunger was real. The vision was bigger than just Cartagena. It was time for Medellín.

But there was a problem.

The Journey That Defined the Mission

Heading to Medellin, Colombia

No flights. No easy way out.

For most, this would be a setback. For Daze and Quinn? It was an opportunity.

Instead of waiting, they embraced the unknown, opting for a 16-hour bus ride through the breathtaking landscapes of Colombia—cliffs, jungles, tunnels, and mountains that seemed to stretch beyond the sky.

This wasn’t just travel. This was a test.

Would the momentum last? Would the chemistry hold? Was this really the next step in their empire?

By the time they arrived in Medellín, there was no doubt.

Birth of a New Genre: Travel Music

With a new city came new connections. Through a friend-of-a-friend, they met Martin Garzon, a man whose expertise in private security became invaluable. With Martin on board, they were free to move the way they wanted—boldly and without limits.

It was in Medellín that the next phase of their movement took shape. They had seen what Colombia had to offer. Now, they wanted to give something back.

They called it Travel Music—a genre that wasn’t just about sound, but about experience.

Pick a beat. Write the song. Record it. Shoot the music video immediately. Capture the energy of the place in real-time.

And just like that, their next anthem was born.

“Road to Colombia.”

One day in the studio. One day shooting the video. The formula was locked in, and they weren’t stopping.

By the end of the trip, they had shot five to six music videos, each a timestamp of their journey. But the mission wasn’t just about their music. It was about building a bridge between Colombia and the U.S.

“We’re bringing some good energy to this beautiful land of Colombia,” says Daze.

Their goal? To create real opportunities for Colombian artists, producers, and creatives—to make sure their voices, their talents, and their culture reach a global audience.

The Road to Colombia Tour, TV Show & What Comes Next

With everything in motion, the next phase is bigger than ever.

Daze and Quinn are preparing for the “Road to Colombia” tour, set to roll out across 2025 as well as a reality TV Show “Travel Music”. Fans can expect explosive performances, high-energy sets, and a new wave of music that captures the essence of movement, risk, and reward.

But before the tour kicks off, they’ve got something special lined up.

Their next single, “Mr. Boss-Man,” is set to drop spring of 2025 —a bold way to spark 2025 and kick off with a statement.

And because they never do anything halfway, the music video will feature the black Cybertruck, adding a futuristic, high-stakes edge to their already cinematic visuals.

Anticipation is rising. The streets are waiting. The movement is growing.

This is only the beginning.

The road continues.

FEATURED IN ISSUE #22

MONROE has continued in the pursuit of his goals of making his mark in the music and entertainment industry as a whole as he is currently dominating the airwaves with the release of his hit single titled “Wish I Never Fell In Love.” The song has already started to garner favorable reviews from local media, consequently setting the tone for several follow-up songs from the talented R and B artist.

The music world has undoubtedly evolved over the years with different stakeholders contributing to the development of the industry. Pop songs have become increasingly popular in recent years, giving birth to the emergence of several talented acts in the industry. While the development of the music industry is an amazing feat that is worth celebrating, many of the artists and other such institutions have not particularly made the kind of delivery desired by fans and listeners. This is so as many of such artists seem to have deviated from the true essence of making music – passing thought-provoking messages in a subtle, entertaining way. This is where MONROE is looking to make a huge difference, a claim that has been substantiated with his hit single.

Signed on to Seven Tyme Entertainment, the POP and R&B artist aims to be a major stakeholder in the world of entertainment by not only making good songs and having multi platinum records but is also looking to make the screenplays by the team at Seven Tyme Entertainment into movies.

The self-thought musician and music maker has always been a lover of good music and always nursed the dream of building a career in film making. He eventually decided to focus on music and started off recording demos and performing at local nightclubs in Virginia, Maryland, and Georgia. His major breakthrough came after the release of “Wish I Never Fell In Love,” a love song that has created a buzz in Atlanta Ga, Maryland and Virginia.

“Wish I Never Fell In Love” is centered around love, talking about falling in love with someone, putting everything into the relationship with the other party eventually breaking the relationship and making the other feel like they meant nothing. The song basically expresses the regret of a person after having his or her heart smashed by the other.

MONROE has been fortunate to open for some of the biggest names in R&B and Hip Hop, including Trey Songs, Jagged Edge, R Kelly, Brownstone, Silk, Mac10, Killer Mike, Bone Crusher, David Banner and Kurtis Blow and more. His perseverance and hard work in addition to his skills have stood the aspiring musician out from others in the industry.

More information about MONROE and his songs can be found on SoundCloud. MONROE is also available on Facebook, Spotify, and Instagram.

Attachment_1548427481.jpg

Described as the green haired beast, Frankie Smallz has continued in the pursuit of his goal of making good music and treating his fans to the real essence of music. The talented independent hip hop artist is set to drop another amazing single titled “One of a Kind,” which comes as a follow up to his new song, “Make A Wish” that has already captured the hearts of lovers of music across the globe.

The music world has evolved over the years as musicians, producers, and other such creative minds and stakeholders in the industry have continued to contribute their quota to the development of the industry and the making of amazing songs. Unfortunately, while the different stakeholders in the industry have done a lot to development the world of music, music lovers have not particularly gotten the best possible as many of the songs made seem to have deviated from the true essence of music – passing thought-provoking messages that anyone can relate with. This is where Frankie Smallz has been able to make a huge difference in a relatively short while, which has been reiterated with his singles.

“Make A Wish” is a song that really showed the world the stuff the versatile hip hop artist is made of, exploring obtaining the realization of hopes and dreams while learning to deal with the trappings of success. Otherwise known as Joshua Varner, Frankie Smallz made a promise to his deceased grandmother to put his name in stone and he seems to be doing well towards achieving the goal as his blazing hot single “Make A Wish” debuted on the top 150 Hip-hop and R&B charts, thanks to the support from Scrilla Guerillaz Magazine.

He has continued to stay true to his promise to his grandmother, building a concrete foundation by destroying the dead weight that has been on his road to success while giving us a hell of a performance along the way.

His follow up single titled “One of A Kind” is set to be released in the coming weeks and as expected, the song will be a hit that will show the versatility and creativity of the rapper that is looking to write his name among the greats in the music industry.
