After hearing the tragic news of Trayvon Martin's murder while in Amsterdam, Suave had the chance to discuss issues of race and injustice in a studio session with musicians and producers from Holland, Germany, Curacao, Suriname, and N. Africa. Each artist shared stories of racial profiling they've experienced around the world, and their words sparked visions of a global musical revolution. As a result of that conversation, Suave penned this heartfelt call to action, "No Justice No Peace," not only for the African-American community, but the human community as a whole. Accompanied by frequent collaborator, label mate, and producer, Prospek (@prospek), they call on the lyrical skills of buzzing DC hip hop artist Kam Royal (@kam-royal) to bring together this live instrumentation hip hop soul joint that will have people from all walks of life questioning who our real oppressors are.

No Justice No Peace feat. Kam Royal (Prod. By Prospek)

Hip Hop Soul and Funk duo, Suave x Prospek  are back with the leading single for their upcoming album, Politics of Love and Life. These New Orleans natives, recent Cincinnati transplants, and Guerilla Publishing Company (GPC) co-founders bring their award-winning blend of live, funky drum breaks, soulful melodies, and social awareness to the topic of unity among the masses. “For My People” serves to empower the independent artist community and those impoverished (especially in the the state of Louisiana) to mobilize against generational political corruption. It serves as a call to action and solidarity for those seeking equality and freedom in and out of the music industry, as well as a cease and desist letter to opportunistic music executives. And, most poignantly, it’s a notice to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and his statewide political machine of corruption that their divisive tactics won’t work against a growing population of conscious young artists and their contemporaries. The song is combined with a short excerpt from a speech given by Angela Davis in 1975 on the empowerment and fair treatment of oppressed people of the United States.

Childhood Food Solutions (CFS) was founded in 2007 out of a desire to combat childhood hunger within low-income neighborhoods in Cincinnati. By providing meals for kids living in areas of high poverty, high crime, and hunger, CFS offers much-needed hope to children and families struggling against the odds. Many of the consequences of childhood hunger - including illness, poor concentration in school, and limited college and career opportunities – can lead to becoming a low-income adult and can directly contribute to ongoing cycles of poverty and crime. CFS is dedicated to and focused on finding replicable solutions to break this cycle.

Suave Ft. Lyrikill, Mike X, L'Daialogue - Unify

The musically prolific team of GPNYC Records’ Suave and Prospek, a talented duo who first met and collaborated as visionaries of the New Orleans indie music scene, have released “Pictures With Words,” the first single from their 2nd album release together, Politics of Life & Love. 

Succeeding their debut album, Day 2 Day Soul (2012) - a project both highly praised by independent music critics like The Indie Mine and Nerdy Boi Media and nominated for Album of the Year at the New Orleans Hip Hop Awards - this sophomore offering builds on the natural connection and complementary worldviews Nate “Suave” Cameron and Jonathan “@Prospek” Bailey share.  While the two currently reside in different parts of the United States, with Suave a recent transplant to The Bay Area and Prospek currently calling Cincinnati home, their ability to weave together seamlessly their creative expression has not been lost. If “Pictures With Words” is any indication, this album will continue a recent but potent legacy of soulful, expressive lyrics, inventive production, and provocative socially-relevant themes.

The single artwork for "Pictures with Words" features an image captured by New Orleans-based photographer Larry Everage of the South Rose Window of Notre Dame Cathedral. It was in these chambers that Moorish academics shared with European dignitaries (later the founders of Oxford and Notre Dame of Paris) the knowledge that would eventually influence The Renaissance that brought the Middle Ages to an end. Much like this historic view, Politics of Life & Love is a window into how unseen and often unrecognized forces shape the realities we stake our lives, loves, and identities to. - K.O.C.

Suave x Prospek - Pictures With Words

In some ways, Suave’s “Hard Grind,” his recently released single featuring fellow NOLA native Melaphyre, is both an ode to New Orleans’ historic musical contributions and an indictment of a social and political climate that has made the city increasingly difficult to navigate as a professional artist. Like many of the nation’s rapidly gentrifying urban centers, The Big Easy is in danger of losing core elements of its magnetic and enchanting culture thanks to low wages, high costs of living, and new codes that penalize culture bearers for disturbing the city’s growing population of affluent transplants. This song paints a compelling picture of how post-Katrina challenges continue to threaten the very survival of those whose life’s work is to uplift and inspire their communities through art and calls on the art community at large to unite in order to combat this growing trend.
Hard Grind will be featured on Suave’s upcoming album, CRTN: Collaboration Rules The Nation, dropping Spring/ Summer 2016 - K.C.

New Orleans independent soul artist, Suave, will release the first single from his latest project, The Feel Good Movement, on iTunes Thursday, February 23, 2012.

"Heaven," a groovy, uplifting track featuring funky, Jazz infused production by Miles Felix, is Suave's ode to anyone and everything that make moments of paradise-on-earth possible.

"Your Heaven can be your spouse, your child, your passion," Suave explains. "Whatever makes you happiest and gets you through your day, this song celebrates that."

Upbeat yet smooth, this addition to The Feel Good Movement fits in perfectly among other original tunes meant to transport listeners back to a time when music provided a safe haven and respite from the stresses of everyday life. "I just wanted to create something that everyone can enjoy. No barriers, no demographics; if you love good music, then this single, the entire Feel Good Movement, is for you."

Suave x Blackstar Bangas  - Suave Is Here (Live)

Combining classic elements of hip-hop, soul, funk, and jazz, singer-songwriter Suave is in a genre of his own innovation. His soulful original lyrics laid smoothly over hard-hitting, yet melodious beats and live instrumentation give Suave’s musical productions the genuine character and artisanal flavor often lacking in mainstream music.
 In 2010, Suave joined forces with a talented group of like-minded, independent artists from his hometown of New Orleans to form the Liberated Soul Collective. After coming together for regular jam sessions at BlackStar Books & Caffe’s Liberation Lounge event, Suave, Elliot Luv , Tarriona 'Tank' Ball , Sybil Shanell, and the BlackStar Bangas (now known as Tank and The Bangas ), decided to take their funky blend of soul music on the road. Their 100% fan-funded tour gave the band the opportunity to perform for venues in New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Mobile, Gulfport, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Austin, Houston, and more, exposing a broader audience to the groovy sounds of Suave’s original tunes and his energetic stage presence. 
 
Suave is currently a part of the 2020 Grammy-Nominated (Best New Artist) band and collective Tank and The Bangas’ management & production team and has written, arranged, and produced multiple songs with the band as well.

He is the co-founder along with recording artist/producer Pell, of the New Orleans based hip hop and music business collective GLBL WRMNG. The Founder of Liberated Soul Records, The Oakland Second Line Project, and co-Founder of the cultural curation team, Them People Productions and New Orleans youth music business mentorship program, Hitts After Hitts Enterprises.
