EXCLUSIVE: Angie Christine - C E.O. Of GrinderZZ 24/7 Magazine & TV On Her Grind



Hello everyone! Welcome to my world....the world of GrinderZZ. My name is Angie Christine, C.E.O of GrinderZZ 24/7 Magazine & TV. I am a mother, an author, a writer for Fuzionz Magazine/TV, actress and soon to be talk show host of my very own show titled "The Ultimate Surprise Show". When it comes to being a hard worker, I always strive to come out on top. I decided to create this magazine to applaud and to recognize all of the Grinders across the world who are out there doing their thing. These people come from various backgrounds, work trades, even different religions, but the one thing that makes them all the same is that they are hard workers. It takes a special person to become one. You have to eat, drink, and sleep your skills, your talents, and become that head honcho. I know you all will be very pleased at reading the different interviews and articles inside this special magazine. I would also love your feedback. If you would love to drop me a message, please send all inquiries to Angie_Christine@aol.com. Take care and keep grinding! (If you dream it, make it happen)

Female Flava of the Month

When I chose this young lady for flava of the month, I knew I picked a winner. Tiffany Titus isn't just a girl with flava, she's also my daughter's Godmother. At 34, Tiffany holds down a great job as a patient access rep at Riverside Hospital in Newport News Virginia. Originally, from Jamaica Queens New York, Tiffany was raised by great parents who worked to give her, her brother and sister the very best out of life. Her father, Dr. Al Titus, is a Sgt. with the Police Department in New York City, so Tiffany always had a hard structure of discipline in her life. Her job mostly takes up all of her downtime, but when she's able to escape she and her fiance’, Neil, like to bowl, shoot pool and go hiking. I am proud of this young lady and today, we at GrinderZZ 24/7 Magazine & TV, salute Tiffany Titus for being our "Flava Of The Month".



Author Angie Christine Interview (cont‌) My name is Shenoba Kinsey, C.E.O. of Fuzionz Magazine. I am also an author and editor for GrinderZZ 24/7 Magazine & TV. I first met Angie back in 2014 and we have been close, ever since. Angie is a wonderful mother, friend and someone whom I am proud to call my little sister. After seeing the type of person that she was, I was very pleased to have her as a friend/sister and writer for my magazine. She is the type of person who would give the shirt off her back if somebody was cold. Angie is a writer for my magazine, which I back in 2015 hired her to be a correspondent for my magazine on the red carpet for the Soul Train awards. Angie is very professional when she is out there conducting the interviews. She was so great at it, that I made her work the Stellar awards, as well as the B.E.T awards in Los Angeles. I felt that it would be great to interview her for her own magazine. Here is the interview I did on Angie Christine:

GrinderZZ: Hello Angie, I am so excited to be interviewing you. First, tell everyone a little something about yourself? Angie: I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York (Prospect Place). I was raised in a middle-class family. My brother and I were spoiled, but we were great kids, so I guess we deserved what we got. I was in the dramatic arts program for 4 years in my high school (Sheepshead Bay) and the first girl who joined the football team in the school. After high school, I went to college and received a degree in Accounting and Business Administration. For a couple of years, I was an officer and I decided to quit and move out of New York to Virginia after 9/11 happened. GrinderZZ: I know 9/11 was an awful time for our entire country. How did you manage during that time? Angie: It was extremely hard. My oldest daughter, Briana, was in kindergarten at the time. That Tuesday morning after dropping her off at school, I was on my way to take


my mother to her doctor's appointment. We saw the second plane hit the tower. I would wake up having nightmares and every time I would see a plane flying way too low, I would go into a frenzy. GrinderZZ: When did you first get into writing? Angie: When I was 5 years old. I would write short stories that I would personally make up, then I would invite my friends over and would read them the story just to see if they liked what they've heard. GrinderZZ: How many books do you have out? Angie: I have 4 books out, but if you want to add the magazine (GrinderZZ 24/7) then it would be 5. GrinderZZ: I just want to say how proud of you I am sis for your achievement with your magazine GrinderZZ 24/7. This issue will be the 6th one and you were in Baltimore filming the TV edition with your special guest, Gene Groove Allen, from the rap group Groove B Chill and Groove from the House Party movie. How does it feel to be on top with the magazine? Angie: Well, first, I give all the glory to God. Without him I would be nothing. Second, I want to thank my big sister, Shenoba Kinsey, for being a part of GrinderZZ 24/7 and helping me with the editing and the input of it all. GrinderZZ: I was so happy when I hired you for the red carpet at the different award shows. Do you ever get nervous when you're out there surrounded by all of those celebrities? Angie: I never do. I always keep my composure and stay professional, at all times. I usually react after the show, especially when I look back at the great pics that I was able to be in, with the different celebrities. GrinderZZ: You have been, for the past 3 years, creating a show titled “The Ultimate Surprise.� How is that coming along?


Angie: Right now, my agent has narrowed it down to 1 network (whose name I can’t mention) that is very interested. Hopefully, my show will be on the TV screen and into your households, soon. GrinderZZ: I was saddened to learn that your entire family, your mother, father, and your brother, are all deceased. I know family is very important to you. How well have you been handling things? Angie: There are times when it can get really crazy. I have moments when I would break down and start crying, because I miss them. I know they are looking down at me and they are very proud of me and everything I've accomplished. If it wasn't for my 2 daughters, I don't know what I would do. GrinderZZ: When it comes to your love life, I know you can be private. I know your fans would like to know, are you currently dating? Angie: Well, I am seeing someone. He is also in the entertainment industry. He is caring, loving, and all around an incredible man, and I am so lucky to have him in my life. Sorry no name drops ...lol... I won't even put his picture on Facebook. As long as I'm happy, that should be good enough for everyone. GrinderZZ: How can your audience and fans reach out to you? Angie: On FB- Author Angie Christine, GrinderZZ 24/7, The Ultimate Surprise; Email: Angie_christine@aol.com and on Instagram @ Angiechristine718. GrinderZZ: Any last words or shout outs? Angie: I would like to give praise to God, shout outs to my daughters, Briana and Demetria, my stepson Demetrius Jr. in VA, my brother Terrence Sharrock, my God daughter, baby Blessing and my baby sis Samantha Robinson, my nieces Johana, Cheryl, Tisha, and Tashina, my bestie Dannie, my beautiful man who I love and adore, my friends here in Las Vegas, my friends back in VA and Brooklyn. I can go on and on with names......and a special shout out to you Shenoba, my big sister whom I love to death. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

Male Flava of the Month

P Magz My name is P. Magz (short for Papi Maguire). My friends call me Syylky (Silky). I was Born in Long Island, New York on February 20th 1980, which makes me approximately 38 years old (on this date September 24,2018). During the day, I’m many things... I started cutting hair at age 11 and got my license in 2003 which makes me a Master Barber of 15 years. I am also a licensed Security Guard of 5 years and a driver of late. I guess you can call me a hustler. Lol… but...I’m from New York and that’s what we do...we hustle. “We grind to the best of our ability!” I developed that mentality when I moved to South Jamaica Queens after my Daughter was born in 2002. I actually grew up here all my life, between here and the Bronx NY (where my mother raised me). My dad was in Jamaica Queens, so I was here regularly. From what I always saw growing up, Queens has the money! However, as we move on... what I do when I’m not working and bringing up a future Queen, is Practicing being a Music producer, Hip Hop, R/B, Soul. There’s no real set limit on the types of music I would make, because I’m a fan and influenced by everything from soul music to country I just love to be inspired. Period. I started my musical journey when I was 16. I used to hang with an older cat in my building. While he and others were doing their thing, I used to play around with his Technic 1200s and practice DJing. I never got too ill with the scratch form of the art, but I got real dope with blending. It was evident I had a mission to move the crowd, so 3 years later I bought my own set and a year after that (2001), I created SmokinMoProductions. Not really sure what the mission was for SmokinMoProductions at that time, but I had a vision. Fast forward: In 2005 I had been barbering for a few years as a career and decided I wanted to take on a hobby making beats, so I bought a program called fruity loops, after I went to visit a friend of mine. He showed it to me on his laptop and that began the music producer portion of my journey that I still use to this day, in addition to my MPC studio and Logic Pro on Mac. Currently, I have been working on a project that features a host of up and coming talent titled “Potency”, as it promises just that.

I’m not married, but at the moment, I’m kinda dealing with somebody; however, very hopeful to crown my queen before the next 5 years, after all my goals and obligations are accomplished...Yeah, I’m hopeful.

GrinderZZ 24/7 Traveled To Baltimore, Maryland For An Interview With Rapper/Actor Gene Groove Allen When you think of the movie House Party, you'll start to think about all the different talented young people who starred in this classic movie; Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, of course, Kid & Play, but did you all pay attention to the hip hop group Groove B Chill? The group was able to show their acting skills in front of Hollywood when the Hudlin Brothers gave them major roles in the film. One of my favorite characters in the movie was Groove, aka "The drunk guy". Gene Groove Allen was gracious enough to have a sit down with us in Maryland, back in September, to talk about his newest projects. I bet you all didn't know that House Party was actually his story and fellow member Chill's ( Daryl Mitchell) story. At the time, Kid & Play were the happening group that was out, so the directors went with them instead of Groove B Chill. Groove explained to us that there was no bitterness at all about the Hudlin Brother's decision; they were still in the movie and they got paid. Groove is still in the industry doing voice-overs for commercials and hosting House Party events all over the states. His group just recently went back to their hometown of Long Island for Wyandanch Day 2018. Be on the look out for Groove B Chill in your neck of the woods very soon.

GrinderZZ Steps Into The World Of Perry Mason

GrinderZZ: Tell us a little about yourself and how old were you when you discovered that you were musically inclined? Perry: Well, foremost music is life, all forms not just rap. Music itself is life and I’m here to deliver life to the masses. I hail from South Park in Houston, Tx. Music has been influential in my life for as long as I can recall. My mother and father were avid listeners of everything from Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley and Erykah Badu, to Billy Ray Cyrus, Meatloaf and Led Zeppelin, so over time, I naturally gained an interest and love for the craft...Music is therapeutic for me. It heals old wounds and soothes any pain you can think of. It gives peace and comfort and I channel these truths into my sounds and creations in hopes that they do just that for the listener.... GrinderZZ: Who has been your biggest inspiration (s)? Perry: I’d have to say my biggest inspiration would be other artists. I’m inspired by the craft as a whole, so I love hearing other artists do their thang. I’m motivated by seeing other artists’ process and progress. GrinderZZ: Tell us about your music and the history behind some of your songs and why you wrote them. Perry: My songs stem from my real life situations, I’ve stored and I’m storing many stories, ((did you catch the word play ?)) ..from past and present, I want to promote peace, love and positivity with my craft...I want the youth to know that they’re not alone in this and that somebody just like them has been through what they’re going through maybe even more and that it’s ok. We’re all going to be fine.


GrinderZZ: Are you working on any current projects? Perry: I’m currently working towards finishing my first ep, “4rmMySoul2woUrz”, anticipating a release date on the day my Daughter makes her grand entrance to the world on February 1st 2019.. GrinderZZ: What advice would you give to those who are trying to get into the industry? Perry: Stay FOCUSED, stay positive, keep good energy around you at all times and never let anyone tell what you CAN OR CANNOT do. GrinderZZ: Have you collaborated with other artists? Perry: I’ve worked with a few talented artists, local and out of state, from the likes of Mike’shaCk, M3, even the homie from Paterson, Jersey’’ Lifeaziseeit aka Jerz, mad love, respect and salutes to everybody who’s been a part of this process.

GrinderZZ: Give our audience some words of inspiration to take with them for future reference. Perry: STAY TRUE TO YOU AND YOUR CRAFT. Never let anyone steal your passion or joy. You are great, you are special you are somebody and I love each and every one of you. GrinderZZ: Where can our audience find you? Perry: Find me on social platforms @gvomason; soundcloud.com/gvomason. GrinderZZ: Is there anything else that you would like for our audience to know? Perry: GVO is forever...the GVO stands for G.ood V.ybez O.nly...and love is the key to change, and change starts within, keep ya head up and ya chest out, this World is yours to conquer and I’m glad I’m here to watch you take over...ONE LOVE from me and the entire GVO family...
