International Entertainer Mayjah Payne releases hit music video “Down For The Cause”
Marc “Mayjah” Payne is a talented entertainer from Los Angeles, California. He is known for his dynamic performances that combine music, dance, and other elements of entertainment to create a memorable experience for his audiences.
Internationally acclaimed entertainer Marc “Mayjah” Payne is a Los Angeles born and based artist who creates timeless media for the culture that range from literature to lyrics, books to beats. His newest hip-hop single and its accompanying video, “Down for the Cause,” inspired by his love of the Dominican Republic, just hit the scene and like most of what he writes in his manuscripts and music, reflects life as it is, as well as how it should be.
Entering the hip-hop industry by making beats and writing songs following his exit from high school varsity sports, Payne became a versatile artist by simultaneously traveling the globe and remaining true to the streets, his first true classroom. He shares his perspective and experiences in a creative and ultra relatable way, which is why he has topped the charts in the U.S. and UK numerous times and will likely achieve that and beyond with this single.
After spending eight days in the Puerto Plata area of the Dominican Republic, a region him and his friends frequent, Payne produced the “Down for the Cause” music video, directed by Claudie Jones (@youknowclaudie), featuring some of his LA comrades, and many of the DR locals that he has come to know, trust, and love. True to his modus operandi, he emphasizes topics that are near to people’s hearts and that humanity thinks about and faces every day. The music video can be viewed on his @MayjahPayne Instagram page and many of his other works, including his books Two Homes, One Love and Pyramids Under The Sun can be seen, heard and bought across all social media platforms, on www.mayjahpayne.com, and Amazon.com.
Mayjah Payne is a continuous supporter of local businesses and currently partners with ‘West Coast Wingz n Sliderz’ (@wc_wingznsliderz). They can be found online at https://www.wc-sliderz.com/ and visited in the Baldwin Hills Plaza Crenshaw Mall on MLK Blvd in Los Angeles, California. “Down for the Cause” derives from his project “No Payne No Gain” which charted #5 on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts on February 4, 2022. The record is produced by 2 Tall (@iam2tall) and mixed and mastered by Quickology (@firasquick).

WeslyNorth: The Eclectic Artist’s Journey from The New Hippie Nation to “I Take It Back”
WeslyNorth was born in Salisbury, MD on the 3rd of December in 1988 as William Hudgins Named after his father, who was an army vet and later became a local DJ. William was raised in the church, as his mother is a devout Jehovah Witness who sung in the choir regularly.
Born into a musically inclined household, WeslyNorth developed a love for the art at a young age. At the age of 18, WeslyNorth started a collective of artists and musicians in DC called The New Hippie Nation. The collective grew into something that still thrives in DC where most know him as Willy Wesly.
His creative process consists mainly of views that allow his writing to flow. Bright rooms with windows, pops of vibrant color and tea with honey help him focus on curating the songs he’s known for, but don’t box him in. His style is eclectic as he pulls from artist inspiration he’s heard his entire life. Growing up listening to music from Fred Hammond, OutKast, De La Soul, J Dilla, Slum Village and Nate Dogg. Artists like James Fauntleroy, Jon Bellion, beaux nox, aldae, Isaiah Huron, Dijon and Sunsetto are just a few of the many he aspires to today.
His new album is titled “I take it back. An apology to those he has not shown his best to. It is a hopeful reverse of bad karma for anything negative he’s done or said. He sees this album as a way to say, “If I’ve ever hurt you or hurt myself..I take it back, maybe I meant it in the moment but I take it all back now.”
The album is a mix of melodic soul pieces that feature stadium sounds and choir harmonies. It is a cinematic, feel good, road trip, morning mood type of vibe that we cannot wait to hear.
