Proponent of Anti-Bullying, Slyide Knows First Hand How it Feels
Ashland, May 5, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Independent poetry-driven emcee and hip-hop dancer, Slyide, who resides in Ashland, VA is managed by Ace Talent Management with publicity through UBO Consulting Services is excited about new music he is working on; including a remix of a popular country song set to lyricism, while putting his past behind.

Last year and not so long ago, 32-year-old Slyide was managed by the independent music label, Bentley Records who; according to the label, had a non-exclusive distribution and marketing contract with him. According to Slyide, once the contract was up, Bentley planned to charge a fee for him to resign with the label another year. The two parties decided to go their own way and Slyide's '18 album remained shelved by the label.
"Hardly anything that the initial contract stated [was] delivered," Slyide opens up.
Slyide was then able to release, 'Kiss Your Scars' on his own. The track is a tribute to not only his life but to the woman in his world. The two are expecting a little one in mid-January this year. The excitement in Slyide's voice about becoming a father for the first time can put a smile on just about anyone.
My first impression of Slyide, shows a fine mix between being humble in who he is and at the same time very proud of his accomplishments. Sharing some of his life struggles during our conversation is really what raised the idea that Slyide has pushed himself to his limits to succeed. Slyide has lived on the Autistic Spectrum since he was just two or three-years-old.
He was not diagnosed until he was a few years older and this made it difficult for others to understand him. Even as an adult, Slyide has had to deal with so-called fans not getting where he is coming from. He feels comfortable now to open up to UBO MAG about his experience with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (A.S.D.)
Slyide wants his fans to know the struggles he has gone through with A.S.D. his entire life because it is what has made him so strong and pursuant in his goal to become a substantial emcee and dancer. It has also caused so-called fans to bully his triumphs and belittle his passions on social media.

Self-taught Hip-Hop dancer, Slyide learned how to dance like Michael Jackson, Usher, Chris Brown and Boy Bands such as NSync and The Backstreet Boys by watching their music videos.
"I have danced at competitions [and] was a dancer for international record spinner, DJ Jahmar who is Safaree Samuel's tour DJ." Says Slyide who also danced for Dj Lexx of City Boyz West from Tucson Arizona at the end of '17 and through '18.
What not many people know is that Slyide grew up with a father who was a musician and singer-songwriter, even though they didn't have a close bond and his grandfather was a well-known country singer where he lived. Music is in Slyide's blood and bones. It didn't take long for his mother to take notice of his special skills and this was around the same time he was diagnosed with A.S.D.. Even though he was different than the other kids, he was already writing poetry at four-years-old and fell in love with artists like Vanilla Ice with his poppy, youthful rap skills.
By the time Slyide was a teen, he was already an avid Hip-Hop dancer, putting poetry to the music he wrote. His IQ was tested at a high score of 163; the results show how quickly he grasps directions and subjects he is interested in. As he became an adult, he also learned to produce his own music in '16 and promote it.
"I learned to produce just recently and taught myself everything. I've been promoting music on and off since '16 for NC promoter and artists Dot Jones and King Jones.
Much of Slyide's influence in music comes from Eminem whose music helped him to get through emotional times. Snoop Dogg is someone Slyide deems as someone who would be dope to hang out with given his chill demeanor. He also enjoys listening to Logic, whose music is relatable to Slyide. He especially feels that Slyide is speaking his own language on the track, "Nikki."
"I felt that way before about a female. I felt like a puppet." Slyide explains who seemingly puts his entire heart not into just his art but into his relationships with others.
Slyide's efforts to get the attention of more prominent music labels and A&R's has gone by the wayside. This all started with conversation Slyide had with Bizarre through email from the defunct rap group, D12 of which Eminem was a part of. After the two had been emailing back and forth for some time, Slyide asked Bizarre to slide a track Eminem's way. Bizarre told him that he could submit the work with a $5000 finder's fee. Slyide decided to stay independent after this occurred, finally understanding how corrupt the music industry can be on the level of the big music labels.
Besides releasing new music in '20, Slyide plans on spreading the word about A.S.D. and wants to give back through his music to groups like Autism Speaks. He is currently looking for sponsors to help provide the funding he needs to get his music to market. Slyide has this statement to say to those who struggle with the same common issues he does:
"Don't let the world's labels change you."

Could sharing ketchup over french fries be an 'indirect kiss?'
Click here for more articles by Kormedi.com. Sharing french fries with a friend can sometimes lead to a familiar moment: You take a bite, then plunge the same fry back into the communal ketchup. It may seem harmless, particularly among close friends. Children and teenagers sometimes jokingly call sharing food this way an "indirect kiss." As it turns out, the joke may have a little science behind it. Bacteria from the mouth can indeed make their way into a shared sauce when someone takes a bite and dips the food again, a practice known as "double dipping." But how many double dips would it take to transfer roughly as many bacteria as a 10-second kiss? The answer, based on a playful comparison of findings from separate studies, is around 800,000. Double dipping can transfer oral bacteria Researchers at Clemson University in the United States examined how much bacteria could be transferred when a person bites into food and then dips it back into a shared sauce. Their findings were published in the Journal of Food Safety. The experiment confirmed that bacteria from the mouth can enter the sauce
Busan moves to secure trademark rights for viral waterfront shark
When a shark estimated at around two meters in length — believed to be a bronze whaler or dusky shark — drifted unannounced into the harbor off Busan’s North Port, it transformed almost overnight from a surprise guest into a viral mascot for Korea’s second-largest city. Now, municipal officials are stepping in to ensure that the unlikely local celebrity remains a public asset rather than a corporate cash cow. The city government said Friday that it will file trademark applications this month for "Bukangi," the affectionate moniker bestowed upon the shark currently frequenting the North Port Waterfront Park. The decision comes after officials discovered five unauthorized trademark applications filed by a private individual on Sept. 21. The private claims seek exclusive commercial rights over the name in both Korean and English, alongside design graphics covering roughly 40 product categories, including keychains, plush toys and apparel. While trademark filings do not grant automatic rights under Korean law, city administrators warned that a private registration could severely res
18-month prison term sought for Seoul mayor in appellate political funds trial
A special counsel team on Friday sought an 18-month prison term for Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon in a political funds case over opinion polls conducted in the lead-up to the 2021 mayoral by-election. Special counsel Min Joong-ki's team made the request at the Seoul High Court after a lower court fined Oh 10 million won ($7,400) for violating the Political Funds Act, putting him at risk of losing his mayoral post. Under the law, elected officials are stripped of their seats if they receive a finalized fine of 1 million won or heavier punishment for accepting illegal political funds. Oh was indicted on charges of having a supporter pay 33 million won for opinion poll results he received on 10 occasions from self-proclaimed power broker Myung Tae-kyun ahead of the by-election in April 2021. The lower court partially recognized the charges, ruling that Oh had asked Myung for opinion polls on five occasions and his supporter paid a total of 21 million won. "Defendant Oh Se-hoon is a prominent politician who, more than anyone else, is in a position to follow the Political Funds Act," Min's team said,
Korean American singer wins appeal in 3rd lawsuit over visa denial
A court of appeals on Friday upheld a lower court's ruling in favor of Steve Yoo, a Korean American singer, in his third lawsuit seeking to overturn the Korean government's decision to deny him an entry visa after he renounced his Korean citizenship, allegedly to evade mandatory military service. The Seoul High Court ruled that the decision by the Korean Consulate General in Los Angeles to deny Yoo an entry visa must be revoked, upholding a ruling by the Seoul Administrative Court in August last year. The high court did not provide a specific explanation for its ruling. The case is an appeal of Yoo's third lawsuit against the LA consulate general after it denied his visa application. Yoo, 48, also known by his Korean name Yoo Seung-jun, has been barred from entering Korea after he became a U.S. citizen and renounced his Korean citizenship in 2002, with the alleged goal of dodging his military duty. Yoo first filed a lawsuit in 2015 after the LA consulate general refused to issue him a visa. In 2020, Yoo won a Supreme Court ruling that the visa refusal was procedurally flawed. After the to

David vs Goliaths: Singapore builds most accurate clock ever, leaves US and China in dust
A small Singaporean research team has beaten scientists in China and the United States to build the world’s most accurate atomic clock. The clock, built with a single ion of a rare earth metal element known as lutetium, is so precise that it would lose one second every 260 billion years – nearly 20 times the age of our universe. It is about four times as accurate as the previous record holder, a calcium-ion clock developed by a Chinese Academy of Sciences team in Wuhan, and also surpasses an...
