    Push and Pull Strategies
    Apr 12 2024
    We’re pushing and pulling…pushing and pulling…AND pushing and pulling, yall. *laughs*


    Here’s a quick pod episode where I speak on some school things: push strategy and pull strategy. I understand these methods but reading it in the space that I’m in made the ‘ah haa’ light bulb come on.


    I share my…vision…on how push and pull strategies apply to marketing…or whatever your involvement is with your purpose in life (shout out to the capitalist/’GET MONEY’ folks out there). I’m not near my book to reference it, but I’m thorough with it, so it’s good.


    Enjoy. #TOTHETOP

  • Grace and Mercy

    Grace and Mercy
    Apr 3 2024

    Grace be upon to you and yours.

    This should be one of the standards for humanity. Your grandparents probably exhibited this growing up…and if they didn’t…you know of a person that extended grace and mercy to you…when you KNEW you needed it the most. When you get grace and mercy offered to you without any warning, you feel a sense of luck. You definitely feel thankful.

    That’s how you SHOULD feel.

    With that, I share my thoughts on grace and mercy and the applications surrounding it. Enjoy…learn…receive…extend…suggest…oblige…#TOTHETOP

  • Dear Artists feat. Krate Digga

    Dear Artists feat. Krate Digga
    Mar 6 2024

    I’ve been receiving inquiries about what an EPK (electronic press kit) is and what needs to be in them. I’ve also been in various conversations where some artists missed opportunities due to not having certain tools to present to media, DJs, event promoters, and even to their fans. One would say that its tragic to not have an EPK, but for me, I give grace…to an extent.

    To an extent = Google, networking, asking an OG or someone that has done this over and over is always a reliable resource. Plus, Krate Digga might not go so far with you. *laughs*


    With that, I took some time to share quick bullets (below) that artists need to consider and have on them…at all times. You never know when someone will ask you for a song to play at a kid’s event or if a blogger wants to cover your music on their platforms. We HAVE TO BE PREPARED.


    Enjoy the show and thanks to my brother Krate for coming through with the voice of reason. #TOTHETOP

    -have an EPK

    -have clean music

    -build relationships with the DJs

    -make sure you’re sending the work to media

    -keep making dope music and share it

    Reflections on The Neighborhood show
    Feb 5 2024

    …I’m slightly coming down from the high I’ve been in for a month now. I’ll probably jump back to being high again because of the episodes I’ve been producing…and what I have in mind. If I could have more time…while resting…that’ll be great…but who said it’ll be easy? *waits on no one to reply*
    I’m thankful to everyone who sent their warm blessings to me about the show. I’m thankful to everyone who gets a chance to listen to it. I’m thankful to WJCT/JME for the opportunity. I’m thankful for all of the practices I’ve done to get to this point.
    You can listen to The Neighborhood show HERE on Saturday nights at 9pm. Check out the trailer HERE.

    Enjoy the show, Neighbors.

    9-11 and Jay Hova
    Sep 11 2023

    September 11th, 2001 will forever be a memorable moment in history. The 9/11 attacks on the United States has been dubbed as one of the worst events to occur. We send respects and prayers to everyone that was affected by the situation.

    On the flip, Jay Z released ‘The Blueprint’ album on the same day. This project was received well with hits like ‘Izzo’, ‘Takeover’, and more.

    On the 22nd anniversary, I took time to share why September 11th, 2001 was memorable to me and how these events will be close to my heart. Enjoy.

  • Mass Shooting in Duval

    Mass Shooting in Duval
    Sep 2 2023
    …interesting. I used Chat GPT to come up with the description of the unfortunate racial shooting that happened in my city. I’m not THAT much of a political person, so this doesn’t sound like me. On the flip, the words are meant.


    Blessings to my city, the community New Town, the people on the frontline, Duval County, and everyone that is feeling hopeless. I do see some light but I'm getting my thoughts out on this so I can be sane. Power.


    Title: Tragedy Strikes Jacksonville, Florida: Racial Shooting Claims Lives


    On August 26, 2023, the city of Jacksonville, Florida was rocked by a devastating incident of racial violence. It is with heavy hearts that we report the tragic shooting that reverberated through the community, leaving lives shattered and an indelible mark on the city. In this senseless act, innocent individuals were targeted solely due to their race, a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted prejudices that still plague our society. As the community mourns the loss of lives and grapples with the aftermath of this horrific event, it serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for unity, understanding, and a collective effort to battle against racism in all its forms.
