Today, hip-hop artist Big Boogie released his new project, Underrated, a 16-track body of work that includes a collaboration with Yo Gotti. The Memphis native dropped the new project via Gotti’s CMG record label and you can buy/stream it: HERE

The release comes shortly after the CMG signee unveiled brand-new visuals for “Mixed Emotions” earlier this week. It also comes a year after Boogie released his mixtape, Final Nightmare, in December 2020 that featured guest appearances from Gotti, Moneybagg Yo and Dej Loaf and earned 71 million US streams.

Underrated also comes a little over a year after Boogie formally signed to CMG in November 2020, where Gotti gifted him with an iced-out CMG chain during a dinner ceremony to welcome him to the acclaimed label. Most recently, the Memphis Grizzlies invited Boogie to be a halftime performer at their 2021-22 home opener at the FedEx Forum against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Boogie first built a buzz in his hometown of Memphis a few years ago, prompting Gotti to invite him to perform at his annual Birthday Bash concert at FedEx Forum in 2018 and again in 2019 and get live performance experience. Over the years, Gotti would mentor Boogie – specifically as he released mixtapes such as “The Final Chapter” in 2018 – before finally signing him in 2020.

Beyond receiving mentorship from Gotti, Boogie has also developed a rapport with his favorite rapper and fellow CMG counterpart – MoneyBagg Yo – which resulted in their dynamic collaboration on “Thuggin” last year.

The 25-year-old also cultivated friendships and co-signs from multiplatinum producers like Tay Keith (credits: Drake, Travis Scott, Lil Baby) and Drumma Boy (credits: T.I., Jeezy, 2 Chainz) and received support from a wide array of veteran artists, such as Offset and Young Buck.

Boogie recently garnered viral success on TikTok for his guest verse on Mohead Mike’s “PTPOM (Remix).” Prior to being released to streaming platforms, the song had garnered over 100,000 TikTok fan videos.

GARY BARVE FOR USA PRESIDENT IS THINKING BIG WITH HIS NEW ELVIS-INSPIRED SINGLE, “UNCHAINED MELODY,” AVAILABLE NOW WORLDWIDE

image

If there is one phrase that sums up the music of the dynamic 41 year old American Arizona-based singer and Republican 2028 Presidential candidate Gary Barve, it is this: think big.

An aficionado of the American songbook and karaoke favorites, this year Gary Barve began releasing cover songs under the artist name Gary Barve For USA President.

His first released single was “Perfect,” originally sung by Ed Sheeran. Soon after, he released Enrique Iglesias’s “Hero,” Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and Coldplay’s “Fix You,” available worldwide on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal and many more music channels. Gary Barve’s music has been played on radio stations in The USA, England, Spain, Columbia, Sweden and many more countries.

Now comes his latest, a 6-minute version of “Unchained Melody,” the world-famous hit song first popularized by the Righteous Brothers and later immortalized by Elvis Presley.

Whoa, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Gary Barve’s inspiration for his “Unchained Melody” came from the version by Elvis, whom he calls “The One and Only King of Music and the American Music Legend.” Presley’s famous 1977 performances of the song, featuring just Elvis and his piano, are widely regarded for their emotional resonance, showing a singer with a powerful voice and a personality that is truly magnetic, larger than life and electrifying.

Gary Barve wanted to channel that emotiveness of Elvis in his own rendition. Indeed, when he heard the final, mastered version of his own 6 minute cover song “Unchained Melody,” he said “it brought emotions of happiness and at the same time nearly brought a tear to my eye.”

Also like Elvis, Gary Barve’s version of Unchained Melody includes just his vocals and the keyboard. In fact, all of Gary Barve’s music recordings include just his vocals and either keyboard or guitar, recorded at his friend Dave Paris’s Wall Of Sound Productions Recording Studio in the great state of Iowa.

These simple music arrangements create an honesty to Gary Barve’s performances: there is no AI, only simple instrumentation sharing Gary Barve’s artistic vocal melody that emotionally and artistically resonates with his listeners.

A relative newcomer to recording and publishing music, with no formal music coaching to speak of, Gary Barve isn’t letting that stop him. A huge supporter of our President Donald J. Trump, Gary Barve takes inspiration from President Donald J. Trump’s 2008 book, Think Big, which he calls “the greatest book ever written, after The Bible.”

Gary Barve has taken the motto of that book to heart, and releases his music with the highest hopes in mind, including the possibility of chart-topping success.

Gary Barve is also an author and budding entrepreneur. He is the author of the book One Nation Under God, available worldwide on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple iBooks, and he is about to launch his first Luxury Sweet Perfume For Women and Strength Cologne For Men brand in the USA that will most likely be named The President From Gary Barve.

With his highest ambitions in sight in the present and the future: his USA Presidential Campaign to Save America, Gary Barve is also focused on his music, his artistic passion. He wants his listeners to feel the same emotion he feels when listening to “Unchained Melody.” He wants them to feel the power of potential. He wants them to feel that, in America – the “greatest country in the world,” Gary Barve says – anything is possible. As long as you think big, take calculated risks and wise relatively reckless risks, love what you do, never give up and stay loyal to our flag and to our country, The Greatest Country In The World, The United States Of America.
