Corey Wims, the name itself, holds a lot of weight in this industry. What can't you say about Corey, hailing from Philadelphia born and raised who has been singing his way into our hearts for years. Born to a loving family of his parents Esther & Ralph Wims, and 2 sisters, Desiree & Jocelyn and 1 brother Ralph Jr. Aka Gooch. Corey value family more than anything. His style is very unique such a throwback to the raspy sounds of David Ruffin & Bobby Womack & Teddy P. As well as compared to Tyrese, Aaron Hall, Teddy Pendergrass, & K.C. Hailey. Which is also a few reasons Corey gained the name TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) because of his unique throwback sound, and everyone knows him for that.

Corey's presence on stage is a force to reckoned with and he gives it all on stage. His quote is "God gave it so I must use it to the fullest.” Corey writes, arranges, co-produces, vocally trains and any time he hits stage he brings energy like a born natural.

He has toured with so many stars already in his career he's simply as he says “BLESSED."

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Love and just love and live. Be free with being you, be ok with falling in love & being a softy for the

one you love. Also, what I want them to get from music is, the sound of Philly is still alive. That good old-school TSOP sound is still here & forever it’ll stand.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I'm promoting myself and my brand which has been blessed for years now as the king of hooks. I literally have done what no other has ever done in music having to date over 505 hook collab records with Hip Hop artist worldwide. I have worked with many as the bio mentions & I write, sing, and arrange them all. Also, my brand is known as the Old Soul Sound of Philly. I’ve been known all my life to sing oldies and to be blessed with a sound of the throwbacks of David Ruffin, Bobby Womack, and Lil Sonny Jr. I love keeping the oldies alive and I am blessed to make a great living off traveling singing oldies worldwide. But my huge impact on the industry is my hooks and I have so many catchy hot hooks, that are pleasing to any ear. Also, a part of my brand I do these things I created 6 years ago called "Singing Telegrams" yes, I show up wherever u want me to and pull up dressed looking good to do what I do using the gift God gave me singing a song of any occasion. Also, I did over 250 funerals and weddings that I sang at in my career, so as u see I'm truly a walking empire and been super successful with no big backing or mega label behind me.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

My style is unique! If you knew me or did your research you'd know. I'm blessed with a sound and style that's extinct. I never had training or any music class, this is God given and all hard work from me.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? Well finally my album that I put off for 10 years is finally happening this year 2023 starting with a smash love song that's amazingly for weddings titled "Wife You" which is written by the great "Jay Reezy" and besides him the project is being put together by myself and Speedy Ridah, and Jay Reezy for the most part and shouts to people like Jimmy Da Saint & Leon Huff and a few others that I will have help with plugging it in all the ways they do.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Love, healing, and the people, yes, the people! We are in a time now where the music isn't like the 70s 80s and even 90s so many people are lost. Music is a ministry, it has the power to help ease pain and set moments, give memories and more. I am also inspired by wanting the world to know my story and inspired to make my parents proud as they watch me from heaven.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

To continue to do what I do which is spread love & joy with the gift that God gave me. To God be the Glory!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Well music has always been important to me because it is me. It's my life, it's my journey, it's my passion, my joy, my escape, my love, my most valuable piece that nobody can take from me. Because as the good book says, "The world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away.”

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

The album is a benefit because it gives them that love and feel-good feeling again when they want to put on a clean R&B and soul monster record. It'll give them love, happiness, joy, healing, and vocal magic. I want to say as those guys been pushing me for years to do it besides my huge fans, my fiancé pushed me strongly to finally do an album. She said many times I need to, and I owe it to the fans knowing that I work so hard for others but never put my album or protection first. So now I’m ready to tell my story.

“I’m the sound of Philly, the Kingofhooks the baddest soulful singer walkin.”

Rapcrush

Rapcrush is a driven, passionate, and charismatic American rap artist and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois.

Rapcrush was born Kanesha Donae Carter on the 29th of June 1994, being the oldest of five children in her family, including 3 girls and 2 boys. Her mom had her when she was only 18, and it is easy to connect with a young mom, and it’s almost like they grew up together! She is also a lot like her dad, who is a very funny guy and a music lover, who made music when he was younger!

Ever since she was only a child, music has always been an important part of her life, and she had been in love with amazing melodies and emotional lyrics. Today, she has a unique sound and a vibrant personality with a colorful, crazy, and energetic attitude, which really reflects on her music! As a rapper, she was particularly inspired by her dad, who was also a rapper. When she was younger, she had the chance to spend some time at the studio, becoming familiar with that environment. In addition to that, she started writing a lot of poetry, which eventually morphed into memorizing songs and writing her own lyrics! Rapcrush stands out for songs that are great examples of her uncommon lyrical skills, as well as her ability to turn a beat into a massive explosion of heavy grooves and infectious melodies. This skilled wordsmith knows a thing or two about creating dope rhymes, and she’s here to kill it, one verse at a time.

Rapcrush excels at writing personal tunes with a very emotional overtone. Ever since she was a kid, she was in love with the sound of artists such as Missy Elliott, who is an empowering role model for her. Rapcrush has had on multiple radio stations with music featuring Chella H, Stunt Taylor, Sinatris, and One Fame throughout the US and is doing everything she can to really follow her dreams of being a star.

Her new album “Soft Girl” dropped March 1, and has a very inquiring soft style to it. Every song is totally different and shows her creativity and songwriting ability. Soft girl is currently available online at every music streaming service.

If you like great modern rap and R&B, you don’t wanna miss out on Rapcrush: she is taking the music scene by storm with her great songs and personality!

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

I want young women to know that every woman is created different in this world. Everyone must realize that we need love, we need to love and care for one another. Evil has become such a thing of praise and it's not who we were ever created to be, it was something we have been taught to be. We need more love we need more God we need more marriage because it's going to get past down to the younger generation.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I’m promoting my new album “Soft Girl,” which consists of eight songs.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? Well, this project is real, it's something that every person should be able to learn and get something out of it. Rather it's loving a woman or man respecting each other or just caring more about one's feelings and emotions.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to

its success?

Mixsa studios, which is my engineer, mixed every song and made every song sound good and professional. Also, I had two features which are Ross Augusta and Co., two good singers from Chicago Illinois.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Working on this project was very special to me because I feel like the world lacks women that are feminine people has lost touch of who they are supposed to be.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Well positive good videos, maybe a new album towards the end of 2023 and more shows.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

This project is valuable to me because I took my time working on every song. Every song has a special message, and every song is positive and inspiring. Listening to Soft Girl makes people feel good and more loving and I feel like that's what the world needs.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It literally took me two years to drop this project since the project I dropped in 2021. I wanted to make sure every song was aligning with the goal that I wanted to push and all though it was kind of difficult I'm happy I took my time to make every song different and special.

O.G. Quest Mr. Get 2 Da Money

O.G. Quest

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

The message I'm trying to get across is you must trust the process and believe in your team. You accomplish more with a machine behind you than you would by yourself.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

My debut Ep. title “She Knows” which is set to hit all streaming platforms this May. The backstory to the project is one many people can relate to.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

The main thing that is unique about this project that separated it from the rest is the amount of time behind the scenes that went into the making of it.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

First, I must give credit to my manager and engineer Doug Long. He helps me as an artist grow into a professional sound. Next credits would have to go to track producer DJ Kurious George, Coldblime, & Money Makin Beats. Also, I can’t forget about DJ Montana. He assists with anything I need help with musically.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

“She Knows” comes from a place of remembrance and serves as a reminder to ones ex’s or situational partner. That, no matter who you decide to move on to, you will never forget the bond we shared.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

You can find me in Miami again for the 3rd year performing during Rolling Loud Weekend. Also, more music is on the way. Lock-in with me and stay tuned for more to come.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

The reason why “She Knows” is meaningful to me is simply because of the truth expressed in each song.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

This project was mainly put together using majority SC Natives to push the envelope with there being talent in the Carolina. This will give the rest of the world a sample at what SC has to offer.

Jersey's Finest YK Major

Nahjae Wilson, 25. Is an American Actor, Recording Artist, and Print Model, with a bit of photography experience. Born and raised in New Jersey, the native has been writing music since the age of seven and recording since fourteen. YK began getting more recognition for his talents at age eighteen as he began doing more shows and releasing more music. Catching the eye of various music artists like Neyo, he has transcended beyond levels some thought unimaginable. Though YK has always kept consistent in each category, there isn’t one he loves more than the other. Currently, YK Major is preparing and working on an album. All at the same time doing various acting projects appearing as a guest star in web series “Kicks and Losers” written by Paul Benjamin now on YouTube and starred in a short film entitled “Fling” written and directed by Christian Foley. More projects are definitely in the works for the Jersey native but to find out, you must keep up with his dayto-day updates on his social media pages.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

YK Major has a new song streaming on all platforms entitled "BBE" (Big Boss Energy) that will be followed by a music video set to release in 2023 which could be followed by a new single.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Being the underdog is inspiration. Guys with my build and my frame are rare to see as the standout talent. My lack of experience being the top dog and main event is what inspires me to keep going. Along with family and friends, and most importantly, I inspire me. Through flaws, ups, downs. I inspire myself to always look to be the best version of myself I can be.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Entertainment is all I know, all I love, all I have consistently been good at. It is how I express my emotions. Posing in front of cameras, acting as a different character or performing. We tell stories through every song we write or sing, and every line we recite in a film, so to be able to depict another human’s emotions like that is so amazing to me.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? This year, this cover, and this journey I am on are different because I am no longer going into things blind. Experience taught me a lot about patience, having a plan and executing efficiently. You are going to see a more calculated yet hilarious and dedicated unpredictable YK Major that many are not used to.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

My team 4.0, M.E., Christian Foley, friends, family, and supporters.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

People are going to love the music as it is relatable and something cool to vibe to. Also, these films and shows are going to keep the people entertained for a long time to come.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

To LOVE one another! Do this because you have something inspirational to offer and advertise. Aspire to be great so you can instill this mindset in the next generation and future generations inspired by your messages. Do it for the love and not for the hype.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

More movies, commercials, shows, music, and photoshoots, all 2023.

Her bottom line is to encourage people to regain their power, take back their own voices, and inspire them to walk in their destiny and purpose. Heather's transparency in sharing her life experiences, coupled with her ability to show others how she got to the other side, makes her a magnet for listeners. Heather's speaking experience is as follows; she has led professional development presentations, both at KinderCare Learning Center and La Petite Academy, as well as biblical presentations at Hosting His Presence LLC, as well as platform services at Mount Carmel C.O.G.I.C.

Today, Heather's life's work is to coach others through their pain, mentoring them to take back their power, reclaim their voice, and tell their story, all while encouraging them to step into their destiny. She desires to use her journey of feeling silenced by her pain, to let others know they have a voice, it matters, and they are enough. People remember how you make them feel sad with every encounter, Heather wants to encourage those who feel worthless to feel empowered. This is her bottom line!

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

You have a voice, and it matters, so tell your story.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I am currently launching a 1:1 writing mentor program. This is a 6-week program that walks you through taking your thoughts in your head and turning them into words on paper to produce a literary piece you can be proud of.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

What makes Anointed2write unique is the fact that the clients will be able to work with someone who knows firsthand what it's like to be the underdog silenced, and what it’s like to feel unseen and worthless. I utilize my story to inspire others to walk through their pain and step into their purpose by reclaiming their power and taking back their voice that was once silenced.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Anointed2write's writing mentor program is just starting and to be honest, the Lord woke me at 5am and downloaded the course content to me.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Romans 8:28 says "For we know that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called to his purposes. Not some things or most things, all things. So, I know that my hurt works together for my good, my pain works together for my good, my fear works for my good, my grief works together for my good, all my lows as well as my highs, failures as well as my wins, and successes as well as my failures. They all work together for my good because I love the Lord and I am called according to His purposes. There is purpose in my pain. I want you to know you have a voice, it needs to be heard, and you are enough!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

I have experienced so much loss from losing my mother at 7, my father at 15, and in 2021 I lost a sister. Then 2 weeks later I lost my job. I had 15 large fibroids removed with a vertical cut, inky to be told I could not continue fertility treatments. Then in 2022 I lost my pastor and then my sister who practically raised me. I had to do a lot of self-reflection so under the direction of one of my mentors, I did individual, spiritual brand asking; Lord, how can I use my pain to glorify your name? It was at that point that I realized my life is not my own, so what is the purpose in my pain; to give a voice to those who feel silenced by showing them there is purpose in their pain.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

People can expect speaking engagements, more books, features in blogs, magazines, podcasts, and radio interviews. I am also working on a group coaching course for aspiring and already published writers.

Giving a voice to those who felt silenced.

Erexlic Solar Powered Heels Perja Jones

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

One day, I had an epiphany and thought about risks I took in the past when I didn't get the results I wanted in life. So, I decided to do something that could possibly lead me to success. So, I reminded myself of my past failures; this isn't new to me but, if I don’t fight against fear then fear will hold my success captive. Losing is easy but winning is the award of succeeding the battle of overcoming fear to obtain an accomplishment. Failure is only the practice of maintenance to master success.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? As an inventor, I would like to present my product Erexlic Solar Powered Heels. The heels have installed solar panels surrounded frontal of the platform. Inside the platform is a battery that supports the option of using natural eco energy or battery power. The main feature we have is an Illuminated glowing arch that shifts to four different colors: blue, red, purple, and yellow. Secondly, we have assembly lighting to complement the arch of the heels. For instance, like the Audi doors lighting symbol that shines to the ground both features are Identical. The symbol will be a spotlight of a lion as you walk away in the night. Including, soft foam insole for comfortable walking and standing.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? The mission is to be innovative and develop a product that will Illuminate the power of fashion in the new industrial world. The solar heels were created to ignite confidence and feminism with natural eco technology. Erexlic was uniquely invented from the heart with God's touch.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? Proudly, I would love to highlight a few individuals of greatness that encouraged me on this journey despite my circumstances. They accepted me with the value of equal opportunity. I'm blessed to know these individuals; Mzminah the Browndivah from FMP Radio, DJ GET EM Chicago finest, That Girl Olivia and ChiBlizz from Soul 106.3, My Radio Chicago Station, Mary Kennedy from RockTruth Media, Seandale from Power 92.3 Radio, my agent Mr. Ray Pointwski from Invent Help, account executive Jessica Washington and Media Director Jared Williams from CBS Paramount. Lastly, I would like to thank the government of patent law for granting and awarding me as the official owner of the project “Solar Power On Heels.” Overall, I thank my grandmother Ocie Williams for encouraging me to push forward. This was her dream, and I was blessed with her gift to fulfill destiny, I love her very much, rest her soul.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? Ultimately, God and the purpose to create, my gift was discovered through troubled circumstances in life. My emotions allowed me to be a visionary that led me to sketch fashion clothing since I was twelve years old. I've used fashion as an expression by wearing something bazaar or professional as a young girl. I

was determined to be unique even when faced with criticism from relatives and peers. I was assertive in being bold and no one was going to stop me from being who I wanted to be. As I evolved as a woman in today's society, I refused to be influenced by this millennium, but only to reinvent the wheel. God knows your destiny, but you must accept the assignment and stop appealing in the process.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

The journey has set its course, I will continue to be innovative, I have more projects in storage, we’re just getting started.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Every part of the process of building and analyzing took patience and sacrifice. It was not guaranteed that I would be approved to be a successful inventor. Most importantly, granted ownership by the government of patent law. I first needed more value in my faith to continue moving forward. When receiving the first decision from the law office the government denied me. My lawyers began the appealing process, discouragement fell upon thinking, I could lose everything including my legacy, but I chose to keep my faith. Finally, KI received my feedback from the government overturning their decision and granted me approval of my project. As a woman, mother, and student, this moment held a strong value to me. Not because of money but to implement history and everyone connected to my legacy.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

The solar powered heel technology embraces the modern-day woman no matter what style you choose to wear, whether night life or casual style. One of the best benefits is safety. In case of damage, a warranty and safety plan will be put in place. You will have Insulated impervious material that will protect you and the heels from water or fire damages that could potentially, cause any safety hazards. Safety is our priority.

My YouTube series of positive messages, a plethora of singles and features with well-known artists, 2024 album " The Light House Effect " and the continuation of the "Darkest Part of The Shadow" mixtape series.

It has always been valuable to me, when I had nothing else, I had music, the love for music is what made me become an artist and song writer.

The main goal is to bring together people from all walks of life and give them an artist to relate to.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Dayzel the machine from the Lox was one of the first ones to hit me up saying he liked the brand, I immediately sent out a hoodie to him, he showed love to the brand, and that alone makes what I do so worth it. Those that are different know what's up, there’s an avenue for us that don't follow and it's by wearing us. We represent them.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Success is such a broad word. Who helped along this journey a lot of people, first I can't do anything without my faith in Allah. Then there’s immediately family who's helped every way they can, mostly consultation. And then

you have my bro who I brought on board for this journey, @Differentclothclothing_keem on IG.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

My inspiration is just people in general Maan! Different personalities, that walk-in life, to have someone wear our designs it's a mission accomplished, because that same garment is going to travel no matter where that person goes as long as it's on them.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

The Breakfast Club Hot 97 Power 105 interviews, fashion shows ahh man the possibilities are endless, sky's not the limit it's just a view.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

It's valuable to me because Different cloth is what defines me it represents me; I am different and do not plan on fitting in. I want to build the brand up to the point we can do an exclusive licensing deal, with a serious investor, The main point is my kids they need to know dad put all his work in during my younger years and they can enjoy the hard work and have the tools to recreate their own legacy.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

This was put together from the ground up, to build a foundation, it started with a thought put into action, yes, we are trademarked legally. Started this idea back in 2016, trademarked in 2018. Coming from Queens NY, my edgy New York style never left me even though I moved upstate.

Keewill "Solid I Promise Never Stop Grindin Solid Since Day 1 yafeelme"

Keewill is an upcoming artist reigning from Houston's Northside, Acres Homes to be exact. He is the head of the group CSMG (Concrete Soljaz Music Group) along with Bishop State James and Fire Trucc Zo which was founded in 2015. Long story short, their slogan speaks for itself, it's solid I promise! The first time I heard Kee was in 2016 when DJ Michael Watts premiered his single "Hard and Wet" on the Swisherhouse show on 97.9 The Box. When I heard it, I was like "Man this dudes story telling abilities are outta this world, emaculate is almost an understatement. Keewill also has received radio play in other places from Columbus, Ohio to London, yes, I said London. You can’t pinpoint is sound due to his tremendous versatility and his ability to spit in different tones. It has been said at times Kee sounds like T.I., Young Buck, and Bone Thugs and Harmony's Krayzie Bone. But even with that being said he just has his own unique style and distinct voice, that in my opinion can never be duplicated. Kee is the definition of a true artist he has a knack for making people listen when he speaks. Soon he will be a major influence in the Hip Hop community you can bet on that. There are great things to come for Will and the CSMG family. He is expected to release his debut solo project " I for one am truly excited for this project to hit the streets. There is no doubt in my mind that we will be talking about Keewill for years to come. Solid!

We’re trying to show the world that if we can do it anyone can do it. We don’t come from parents with a lot of money, we never had money for new instruments or even music school or training. We trained ourselves using YouTube every day. We are all self-taught.

The message that I hope everyone takes is just doing clean and honest business and you'll win!

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? We are promoting entertainment. We are a full-blown tech company. That happens to have a label embedded in it.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? What's so unique about the company is that we are really a one-stop shop. We don't have to farm out anything.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

I have to say a big part of the success is That Guy Sam. He's my right-hand man.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

What inspired me to do what I do is people and the community. It was a way that I could give back to the people.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

What people can expect from me in the near future is nothing but great products and people who care about the craft.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

It's valuable to me because it has an educational factor embedded in it. It has something that everyone can relate to and that's music.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It was put together with a lot of thoughts. The benefit to the consumer is that it's very cost-efficient. We are not in the business of breaking people we are in the business of helping people win.

“There's only one way to do business and that's clean.”

Vic Nice Not at the top, but still climbing.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

I mainly want to try to inspire people to never give up on their dreams. Don’t be afraid to express how you feel and never be ashamed of your past because everyone has a story to tell.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? Right now, I'm promoting my single, “Way I get it” featuring Rick Ross. Way I get it speaks of living a certain lifestyle and explaining how we get it.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

What's unique about this is the sound. You have one of the top artists in the game and you have one of the top up and coming artists collaborating on one record. I mean this is unheard of. This song has a nice up tempo beat with lyrics that will have you recite them for years to come.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? Myself, Rozay, and my engineer A the Great.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I'm inspired by things that I've been through in life. Another of my inspirations is my brother Oskimo. We were younger. We always talked about becoming Hip Hop Artists and what it would be like to become a famous artist.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

In the near future I'm working on some different collabs with different artists of different genres. I stay busy doing shows, hitting the studio, and promoting. Overall man just staying busy and working.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

It's valuable to me because I want people to hear my story. I feel I have an untold story of an underdog who's been through different life situations. Hopefully my story can inspire others to keep going or maybe they can gain knowledge of the do's and don’ts in life.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? It was put together on a friend through a friend type deal and just so happened it worked out for both sides. The consumer is going to get something refreshing something. They're going to get something that's reminiscent of 90’s rap when artists recorded songs that had content. They will get a song that they can listen to for years to come and maybe even call it a classic one day.

My cast and crew are my only other contributors.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I want to bring awareness to certain aspects of life that the masses cannot comprehend beyond entertainment.

I have recently been offered two separate movie distribution deals. So, I plan on filming six movie productions a year. I think I can do what Tyler Perry did in less the time. Thanks to the internet of course. Plus, I plan on entering every film festival that’s available. So, these next few years will be big for me. I’m excited.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Many independent artists are not heard and mainly are not able to express themselves properly. I was blessed with the gift to do so, and I feel it is my cosmic duty to do make it available.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

I woke up from a dream with this film project and decided to shoot three months ago. We have one week of filming left. It’s called The Forbiddeen.

Independent Hip Hop R&B Artist J.E.V.I PE$CI aka Longevity releases Judgement Environment Violence Instinct 2 (J.E.V.I 2) a sequel to the original title for the start of 2023! The aesthetic artwork cover embodies the artist’s Hip Hop roots with a throwback kodak photo taken of Jevi throwing up double peace signs (deuces) in front of an old Ocean City, Maryland graffiti mural circa in the early 2000’s. The title tagged & touched with dripping ink & freshly painted fingerprints symbolizing his b-boy origin. The back cover art track list is also a nod to his upbringing of an old photo taken of him practicing head spins in the well-known Newcastle County Llangollen neighborhood basement where he grew up. His signature soul touching gritty east coast Mobb Deep like sound combined with creative emotional lyrical wordplay & mesmerizing R&B vocals proves why he’s in the game to stay. With prominent features from upcoming artists to big names this full-length sequel project is a solid listening journey all the way through each of the 20 tracks from start to finish.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Create Inspiration. Never give up. You learn more from failure than you do from success. It doesn’t matter who you were it only matters who you’re becoming. You don’t need validation from anyone but yourself to continue surviving this life. There is no gain without loss. Happiness is the greatest asset and memories are the priceless currency from which it’s purchased. You don’t need money to be rich the wealthiest people are the most miserable and some of the poorest are the happiest, why is that? You do the math.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

What separates us is the idealism that you can get everything in life you want if you can just help other people get what they want. Success is a journey not a destination I refuse to judge or be confined to a box, a label, an identity, or an image. I am a face for the faceless a voice for the voiceless. I bring hope for the hopeless inspiration to the uninspired. I am nobody so in turn I am everybody. I am Lonjevity.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Beginning with an intro from one of his favorite movies “A Bronx Tale” quote that the artist strongly relates to having it tattooed on his left leg “the saddest thing in life is wasted talent” collaborating with R&B powerhouse Fedarro on “All She Got” exchanging lyrical wordplay with fellow NC artist ASL on “Ryte Now” to an amazing surprise feature from his real life brother & fellow villain member Philosophy on “Lifes a Game” with future club hits like “The Way” & “Lose My Mynd” to showcasing multi talented singing skills on softer R&B vibes like “U & I” “Dying 4 Ya” “Can U Remember” and single “Ryde Witta G”.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Kenneth Andrew Roberts aka Jevi short for Lonjevity was a Bboy, a break dancer graffiti artist who was influenced by hip hop growing up in the late 90’s. Passionately practiced developing his craft to go on to perform live showcases across the tri-state eventually accepted into Cab Calloway school of the art for visual arts & dance in Wilmington DE. He began teaching breakdancing classes & writing poetry in & out of class as a therapeutic outlet afflicted by the surrounding drug related environment of Wilmington DE that led to becoming the artist he is today. If you were to ask anyone who knew him growing up, they probably would have said things like, “he’s got talent” or “he’s gonna make It” or people that didn’t know him knew of him from break dancing at local dances & parties, social gatherings, or yearly community celebrations. They would likely say he was one of the “popular” kids who had a cool mom who let them do anything, but they would also know of him from dealing drugs & being in trouble. Wasted talent they would say. Jevi was expelled from Cab Calloway the art school that would have been his only steppingstone to a promising future after being caught selling marijuana on school property. This redirected his life path to become a drug dealing high school dropout traveling a negatively affected road filled with multiple incarcerations. A household divided and family separated by alcohol & drug abuse gave him little choice of coping with trauma dealing with dramatic change clinging to the instability of relationships and houses he could never call home. Eventually forced to put his talent aside to survive would eat at the core of his soul daily which he continued to use as fuel writing about his struggles as an outlet throughout. Learning how to survive at an early age with no familial structure & only peer guidance persisted through relentless challenging life lessons as did many in the Newcastle County Wilmington DE environment in the 2000’s. Now a repeated misdemeanor offender & 4-time convicted felon destroyed

any legal future talent career opportunities he may have had scholastically. But he knew he was destined to leave a musical legacy & vowed to never give up. After persevering through overwhelming heartache sacrifice & loss faced with becoming a known habitual offender visualizing the direction, he was headed like many before him made an unimaginable choice to take a chance & work up the courage necessary to make a change by leaving everything & everyone he knew including his mom & brother who needed him behind. Carrying only two trash bags filled with clothes he left Delaware to start over, believing it was the only way to save his future & pursue his talents. The year was now 2011 Jevi recently released from jail on federal probation in a new state began to reinvent himself slowly focusing on his talent again but not without circumstances. Being a 4-time felon in society brought a lot of judgement & closed doors. Facing constant persecution working hard to get any job that would hire him including fast food & construction to make ends meet. Describing a very humbling experience all while determined to achieve his reformation goals he eventually completed his probation being free moved back to the east coast to North Carolina from Indiana to pursue a music opportunity. Overcoming adversity with extreme dedication faced many closed doors but opened numerous windows for his passion with support from his future wife & community seeing talent he scouted like-minded artists & began sponsoring local music showcases & performances offering studio recording engineering music production & videography services helping others in similar situations share their passion. Something he claims he wished someone did for him. Gaining reputable notoriety from the local music community he started JEVIPESCI Productions an independent Hip Hop company specializing in musical artist talent services including recording engineering promotion marketing & distribution. To give back opportunities & open avenues for young artists an alternate to the streets & share their talent with the world operating without the funding from outside major record labels. Now based out of Orlando Florida. The years that followed would produce elevation growth constant learning, adapting, sacrifice, discipline & determination. Continuing to fight the system & break barriers never thought possible. After being denied standing before the federal board of pardons retelling his reformatory story was granted a full pardon by the governor of Delaware for all his felony charges in 2019. A self-proclaimed cycle breaker also pursuing new career paths in real estate encountered pushing limitations when appearing before The Florida state DBPR to tell his story once again & fight for his rights as a recovered felon to take the Florida state NAR exam received acquired votes & given acceptance across the board then went on to pass the state exam becoming a licensed Florida state Realtor and business owner starting a home rehab business “KAR Real Estate Group” with his wife Ashley explaining is another way to give back to the community. Releasing musical projects under his independent label JEVIPESCIPRODUCTIONS helping struggling artists from mixtapes promos video services to EPs singles & full-length albums retelling his story attributing a name for himself in the music meta verse. With much adoration following the release of his studio debut project “Judgement Environment Violence Instinct” & now most recent 20 track sequel “J.E.V.I 2” has shown the artist has found his niche by staying true to himself & never giving up as the hard work is finally paying off within the music world coming full circle including a featured article in the Orlando Voyager and awarded “Producer of the year 2022” by the city of Ocoee, FL. With overall goals to be an inspiration providing hope, patience & perseverance to other human beings facing similar situations. Quoting “I’m still here for a reason they don’t call me Lonjevity for nothing” jokingly emphasized although he has been doing hip hop for a long time believes it is just the beginning for this multi-talented self-proclaimed juggernaut with new fans all around the globe respectfully looking forward to what Jevi brings next! Listening to J.E.V.I 2 is truly a breath of fresh hip hop air within the current saturated industry.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

I have multiple future projects set for release including my next few albums titles J.E.V.I 3, J.E.V.I 4, U Have 2 Die 2 Leave Here, The Most Dangerous Animal in The World & more! Featuring many of my favorite artists! I will be performing live at this year’s Hustlefest 2023 in Orlando at Level 13 Easter weekend & my music video for my single “Ryde Witta G” filmed in Cancun also drops this month. Stay tuned for more surprises!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Growing up less fortunate it was normal to be told no even with limitless potential & talent, monetary value limited accessible capability & growth. Through years of sheer will & determination becoming self-taught constantly learning I cut out any middlemen & overcame obstacles by creating my own access and becoming the source in turn opening possibilities for struggling artists faced with similar challenges. Giving back to the communities gave purpose & priceless opportunity.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

From struggle come progress & failure is the greatest teacher, I believe success is measured by the obstacles which one has overcome so each relationship is distinctive providing consumers a unique perspective to maximize growth based on these principles gives invaluable motivation you can’t teach or pay to learn in schools.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? I got a lot of support from my family and friends.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It came together by accident. I was playing music at my own house party and a few guests were like “Bro you should be a DJ!

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Let’s bring fun back to partying again! Whether we know it or not it helps sometimes when people are going through a lot emotionally.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Definitely! A lot of film work and acting.

Dr. Shane Jackson

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

My message is loud and clear that food is more than just fuel, it is also a medicine. The foods we eat can have a profound impact on our health, both in the short term and over the course of our lives. By making healthy dietary choices, we can reduce our risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer and possibly reduce criminal behavior, and improve our overall quality of life. I want a society that prioritizes nutrient-dense foods in its diet, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. In parallel, I always advise individuals to limit their intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods high in saturated and trans fats as these can increase your risk of chronic diseases. If you need help getting started, do not hesitate to seek guidance; with the right knowledge and support, you can achieve your health and wellness goals and live your best life.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I am a nutrition coach with the add-on qualities of a staunch social worker who is disseminating my knowledge about nutritional diet. I have been serving society with my civic responsibilities as well as volunteer efforts. Being an educator, I try to bring stability to the lives of common people through guidance to quality food. I believe that mental and physical health is directly linked with the quality of the food one consumes. Moreover, I teach children about raising health standards by showing them simple techniques to get them to enjoy eating more healthy foods. Beyond my job, I consider students as my own babies. I honestly think that good nutrition will help grow a healthy generation that will excel in every field of life.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

Unlike a traditional nutritionist, I put stress on educating people rather than inviting them to a clinic and bombarding them with complex diet plans. My teaching is simple and doable for any age group. Moreover, I make visits to seminars, conferences, and symposiums to educate people from all walks of life to take good care of their diet. In recognition of my work, I have been awarded various awards as well.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

The Genesee County Sheriff, Christopher Swanson has been the driving force in front of my diet awareness program “Mood and Food.” He along with his staff provided an opportunity to teach and reach each inmate in jail. Subsequently, the inmates trusted me to help guide and lead them on such a journey of ending generational curses and habits. As a Nutrition Instructor, I see the correlation between crime & eating which helps inmates feel human due to the disconnection from their mental behavior. Synergize with their motto “From Incarceration to Education,” I emphasize providing a healthy diet full of proteins as it will ultimately put a positive impact on their lives, and they will not return to jail once they are out.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I have been working towards quenching my thirst to help people. My aim is to empower them with the strength of self-awareness, motivation, and sound physical and mental health. I currently run a class at the Genesee County Jail where I motivate and educate inmates on the effects of sugar and not eating properly. I believe that the entire dynamics of the criminal justice system can be enhanced by providing an appropriate diet to the inmates. Moreover, I own a motto that if they eat healthier, they will feel better and be able to make healthier choices for their lives. The Flint, MI water crisis was also one of the inspirations that ignited the spur inside me. More than 180,000 residents were directly affected by the water shortage. I took a huge responsibility in the rehabilitation of Flint’s residents. I have witnessed that the community was abandoned and was not looked after properly. Similarly, I noted that food insecurity made it harder for residents to eat a healthy diet rich in foods that mitigate the effects of lead toxicity.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

As the world is turned into a global village and everyone is just a click away from each other. Therefore, a healthy individual needs an hour. I would like to gather all stakeholders to help create a platform where we can discuss practical measures to reduce mental health issues through food. In addition, I am in favor of developing a uniform Global Nutrition Curriculum that can be used everywhere. Planting the first seed, I am planning to run my own restaurant with a theme that wraparound service of healthy food, physical health, and therapy will be enjoyed under one roof.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

I once suffered from mental health and anxiety issues during my younger years and slowly transferred into my adult years as well but changing my diet gave me a whole new outlook on life. I realized I was strong enough to overcome that situation by consuming a healthy diet. Thinking like a deprived one enabled my energy to help society against the odds from which I have gone through. Keeping in mind the dark phase of my life, I took the initiative to help people with depression and stress through awareness of getting healthy food. Resultantly, I am running the “Healthy Just Feels Right” campaign now.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It was not an easy journey and even now I have to sacrifice my personal space. However, to fulfill my aim, I provide advice and guidance on dietary matters with the goal of promoting optimal health and preventing or managing diseases. My work typically involves several key components like assessment, counseling, and educating the consumers. Further, I offer personalized dietary guidance and education that help individuals to improve their overall health and well-being, reduce their risk of chronic disease, and manage existing health conditions more effectively. I also guide people to dispel common myths and misconceptions about nutrition and provide practical tips and strategies for making healthier food choices daily.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

No matter what others may think or say, you are loved, you are needed, you are enough, you have a gift, and you shouldn't wait to become a master at what you love. Be yourself, be kind to yourself and don't forget to give back. Pretty and handsome don’t win games, warriors do.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I am excited to present my new single featuring Sean Kingston called “Du-O” that will be released May 21, 2023. Each month this year I am dropping something new. Recently I have released, written and directed my first independent film documentary. Events are based on pieces of my love journey and what pushed me to focus on self-care, self-love, faith, motherhood (single mother of 1 daughter nick named ZeeZee who is age 14 and she is a 1st degree black belt Martial Artist) and becoming more focused on my music career and that's when miracles started to happen. The film is also in honor of my late manager Nigel " Bez" Lee executive with Universal Music Group and owner of Bez Knows Talent. This movie also has 16 celebrities involved in my true story such as Money Bagg yo, Safaree, Snoop Dogg and more. I had the honor of having legendary Philly's very own Freeway as my mentor on the for 5 years at that time I went by Azia Marie (pronounced Asia).

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

Everyone has their own unmatched beautiful fingerprint, mine is a born work of art just like anyone else who wants it bad enough. Passion and work ethics are a secret formula I apply in my daily routine.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Keith Thomas Jr. my brother, photographer and camera man took

his skills to the next level with this new single visual with Sean Kingston. Along with my engineers and producers. My daughter, my family, close friends all have been a big support system for me. I can't forget my supporters aka " Nami Tribe ". My mother most of all has been by my side the entire time she has been my rock since day one and it is such a blessing to have a mother who believes in my passion.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I have always had a passion for music and performing since I was a little girl, my first audition was at age 6. I haven't been able to shake it off, it's all I think about, a sick obsession for lighter words. What drives me to keep going is beating the odds against me and wanting to reach others who might have endured the same things I have or can gain a new perspective of others along life's journey. My mission is to help others all over the world like Akon and bring people together and show others that a positive outlet for your emotions is profitable. Also, to become a parent doesn't mean to give up your dreams because I am proof that you can do both.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

If I don't create music, I don't feel alive. It's everything I am. Time waits for no one, and I vowed to myself to fully make the most of it possible.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

Great vibes and valuable life messages surround my art.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

More big surprises are coming this year that I cannot speak on just yet, but I am very excited about what I present to the world next, but every month this year on the 21st something new is on the way so stay tuned.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

I’m Florida to my heart, born and raised. But there’s absolutely a side of Florida that’s never been seen besides what on television and social media. I am that other side of Florida they don’t want you to see.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I have a few major summertime tracks that’s in the works. I’m currently in the studio with Carl McIntosh of the legendary group Loose Ends (London, England). The track is entitled "Toast to My Haters." We are also in the studio with Solomon Childs of the Wu Tang Clan working on several tracks entitled "Mr. Me Too" and "Connect" that will be released this summer as well. Both tracks will also feature MULTiMiLCUZiMULTiTask of The Neighborhood Watch Worldwide and Roniel of the Tribe Life Assassin's.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

What’s unique about what I have been able to achieve is that I have created my own lane and sound. I have no aspiration to be or sound like what I hear these days. My goal is to be original, truthful, and reflect Hip Hop's Golden Era of the 90's when bars mattered.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

I like to give a shout out to MULTiMiLCUZiMULTiTask of the Neighborhood Watch Worldwide. Shout out to Roniel, Peter Sparker, and Que of the Tribe Life Assassin's. Shout out to Solomon Childs of the Wu Tang Clan. Big shout out to Carl McIntosh of Loose Ends.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

What inspires me is being able to wake up and do what I love, being able to achieve a high level as an independent artist and producer without having to navigate the circus and record labels.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

People can expect the usual from me and my camp. Bars, Beats, and Bangas!!!!! Consistency is the key.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

There is no time better than now, and it’s important that I leave a real legacy behind for my children and artists that’s appointed to me. That’s what’s important to me; leading by example.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

I have made it an effort to produce tracks that’s unique in sound, so I’m offering my listeners and fans something they want to hear anywhere else, it’s a breath of fresh air so to speak. My sound and production are uniquely my own.

BAPS

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

The messages we hope to portray are striving for excellence without malice upon one another and strive for success and enjoy the abundance of creativity. Get your goals and love out of life! Whatever the vibe of a situation, you can tell a story through music and enjoy the process of creating with good company.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

BAPS, based on the storyline of the pop culture movie we resonate with the real live definition of what BAPS stands for in multiple forms. We are two artists standing together to promote our music skills and express our diversity together in the form of music and business. We are anticipating the release of a collaboration project this summer.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? What's unique about our project is it's relative to the diversity in our communities and steps away from the cliche ideas of seduction and lure of appeal. Our subject matter pulls from various aspects of Hip Hop and Black American Pop Culture.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? We had many people to thank for contributing to our project. From various producers and studios in Dallas and Atlanta and beat creators across America. In a

special way Kendra G in Chicago, YouTube, Instagram, and ourselves of course.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

We are inspired by women in music before us who have paved the way, the freedom of expression and feminine empowerment through music. Big artists such as Salt n Peppa Jjfad and City Girls inspire us to collaborate and create together.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Our project will be released in Summer 2023 with cool visuals that hint to the best of days in Hip Hop from the 90s. A sort of ode to the 90s Pop Culture and BAPS in a new age form.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Because we as women especially in music must represent more than just solo stardom. Unity and togetherness in music and all art forms are a necessary energy especially in today’s culture.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

I believe our project is beneficial to the Hip Hop community and music industry in contributing to new age ways of creating music as art and expression. We are delivering a different vibe of female rap and R&B with hints of familiar popular tunes giving the new era a run for its love via entertainment.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I'm promoting my music. It's a new style of music with a positive movement and background.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

My projects always have some sort of melody involved and my message involves love or manifestation of prosperity. Not only that, but my music teaches people to own who they are, be proud of who they are, and not be afraid to express their sensitive side. Also, I don't want to put anyone down. I want everyone to succeed in this day and age and I make sure I express that.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Wardell "Drummerboy" Jasper and an insanely talented artist named Timothy "Demarii" Hogan played a huge role in getting my projects out there.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you

I've always been adamant about expressing creativity and love to the world. My inspiration mainly comes from artists such as J. Cole, Logic, Earthgang, Bas, Kendrick Lamar, Lute, J.I.D, Wyclef, and Kanye West. Their messages and more importantly their delivery is legendary, and I want to be able to carry that in my music.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Large collaborations with mind blowing artists, music video, promotional campaigns, school tours, merch launch, prime time investments, radio promotion.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why

Music is from the soul and for the soul. It gives you the power to be yourself without having to bow down to someone's standards. It brings you absolute freedom and the most beautiful part is its diversity. This is exactly what I want to preserve. Nowadays the sound is all copy and paste with no soul. No originality. So now more than ever it is important for me to show the world what music can really be.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

Constructively put together with unique passages and strategic methods. It helps to aid in good feeling music and feel-good vibes.

My ultimate goal is to become one of the leading news anchors at Good Morning America. Eventually I will be hosting my own talk show called none other than Rasheena's Show!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

I feel as if were living in such perilous times and now more than ever people have a lot, they want to get it off their chests. From inflation to all the crazy things that take place on social media, I offer a platform and safe space for individuals who want to share things that they have been through, currently going through and have overcome.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

I was the brainchild behind it, but it helps consumers by getting their stories out as well as introducing people to an audience that otherwise they're not familiar with.

First the love of God and music. I thank him for giving me the talent to write songs as a keyboardist composing and producing music, opening myself to all styles of music. I have written over five hundred songs and my inspiration comes to me sometimes in my sleep. It’s a gift I could never explain, I just thank the creator. Music has been a part of me since the age of seven.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

My music brings back true R&B love making music and still bring crossover to Hip Hop. So, when you come to my show's no one will feel left out. I’m looking forward to still do love songs.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

True artist never stops is something no one can place a value on always have something to express music is valuable to me. Why now? Try to bring music with a feeling and something people can relate to as an artist I feel I have something that people want to hear. And it's no better time to let my music speak for itself.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It was put together by spending time wanting to put out quality in good music. We took six months on writing and composing and producing. We want to give the people something they'll like and buy.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? I always loved music as a kid and would always listen to it to calm my nerves or express myself. Listening to rappers like Gucci Mane,

Al Papers

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

The message I hope to get across with this album, is "Never give up on your dreams and do what you love always".

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

Al Papers has announced that he’ll be dropping his first new project T.R.A.P next month. The Bronx native took to social media (via Instagram) to share some new song snippets, behind the scenes studio sessions, and album art for his fans. The 13-track T.R.A.P Album will be the follow up to '81 The Album' his first of many releases since 2020’s followed by 'Family Over Fame' a group project by Papah Boi Ent/TayDrive Records last year. T.R.A.P is an acronym for Trust, Rebuild, Appreciate and Pray. T.R.A.P features guest appearances from 13 Geez, TakeNotez, Stephytheway, Floxkito and Dolo1B Al Papers delivers something different on each track while, using diverse sounds, switching flows, and tapping into different genre styles from HipHop, Drill, and Trap. Fans are getting pumped up about Al Papers New project as many have taken to social media by sharing videos, and commenting with and emojis.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

The T.R.A.P album experience is unique because it captures the vision of an artist, sharing my voice and bringing you into my world. At the same time, it allowed me to discover new sounds, styles and broaden my horizons in terms of music production.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Shawny “13 Geez”, who featured on my first project '81 The Album' and served as the executive producer on the Syracuse Sammy's Award Winning 'Hip-Hop Rap Album of The Year' - 'Purple' by Slick Fashionz (March 2020) 13Geez, always expressed to me follow my gut and do what feels right to me. I can recall times, during the making of T.R.A.P, I would send him voice notes, song drafts and even talk with him for hours about the project. In addition, to that he would throw new ideas into the air, and I just fed off that energy and created different tracks from the previous

album '81'. Another person that contributed to the project was Alex PGSV Artist/Producer/Engineer at Creativity Evolved Media House in Charlotte, NC. I met Alex about 7 months ago and was introduced to him by Owner/Friend A.J. Williams. Working with Alex on T.R.A.P has been fun pushing each other and making the best tracks each session. He's not a one-dimensional type of producer nor artist. We’re going to experiment, we’re going to try new things and more importantly we're going to challenge each other to be the best versions of ourselves and you'll hear that on tracks like 'Gotta Get It', 'Imaginary Playas', and 'Pop It' Lastly, LostX26 of ABSSTUDIOSATL in Atlanta, GA who I met in September of 2022 Lost is the type of Producer that will throw an occasional curveball at you or a no look pass with his unorthodox mixing styles. I feel it resonates with the project and something musically I haven't tried on the last album. Working with Lost has taught me to find that balance of keeping the hook of the melody or song lyrics right there, but still adding that stamp to tracks such as 'Cold Blooded', 'Your Love', and 'Commas' Feat Dolo1B Atlanta based artist.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? My Biggest source of inspiration is my mother Sylvia who always taught me that anything you want to accomplish in life takes prayer, hard work, and dedication. Those words still echo in my mind today. And my sister Radiance the one person I can always count on to give me life advice, tough love, and strength to stay grounded. My children are the motivating forces in my life, they inspire me to be the very best version of myself, they fill my life with great joy and love. Everything I do is for them. I couldn't see my life without them!

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

What people can look forward from me in the near future is crossing over to different musically genres and creating a program for our youth and families being destroyed by gun violence nationwide.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? This project is valued to me because of family. Family It’s greatly valued in Belize and has always been something my mother Sylvia sacrificed for. She was the rock of the Godoy Family and will forever be in our hearts. Why now? Because I feel there’s no better time than the present.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

The overall sound of the album came from various stories. They drew a scene of my pass experiences, moments of emptiness, and the motivation I gathered from my family and friends to see the new album through. In exchange, the consumers and music lovers get an open invitation to a musically diverse body of work traveled, recorded, and expressed in various places with a front row seat on this musical journey with me and every stop along the way.
