C.E.O.Red- I feel it. Anyone in ya fam do music? 

Myke- Dad raps but he didn’t inspire me. He put me on the mic when I was 2 but he never knew I rap. I kinda started late cause I had to find my way. Ya know

C.E.O.-I understand bruh. So who would ya say is your inspiration?
 
Myke- I would have to say Busta was. To listen n to really start makin music. Not jus flowin. When I seen the elephant n "put ya hands where my eyes can see" I said "that was dope, I need to do that". 

C.E.O.Red-Whose ya biggest influences to this day?

Myke- it has to be Eminem cause of his word play. Busta cause of personality. Big Daddy Kane cause he clean n not disrespectful toward women. Rakim cause he was always ahead of his time. N they was all original. That’s what us rappers need to be. Original, don’t do what others do be you. Bring something to the table no one else has. 

C.E.O. Red-So you would say your original n coming wit sum new? 
 
Myke- fo sho. I listen to all music and I’m always coming up with concepts. I started using concepts in my tracks so it wouldn’t be off the wall like Wayne. If there were more concept rappers, Hip hop would be better.

Myke- It was a lil contest.” So ya think ya can rap.” I went in with just a beat from my dude who had passed away. The first round I just spit freestyle. They loved it. I advanced to the second round but lost. So I used another cs wit snippets of other tracks. I stayed freestylin as the beats changed. The crowed loved it, but I didn’t advance. It was a vote type thing. Everyone else had more peeps wit em then me. It still felt good though.

The Face Behind the Blog

Heather Henry will not lose in 2014.

One to Watch in 2013

Heather Henry founded Entity Entertainment in 2013. Already a C.O.O. of Up All Night Ent, and WRTA on-line radio, Entity Ent became a subdivision of U.A.N.E.  An M.B.A. graduate, Heather started advocating for issues such as; the current mass levels of incarceration in the United States. Targeting laws that felons become second class citizens of, Heather understood the disappointment behind the lack of jobs for male felons. Heather Henry also sits on the O.S.U. Advisory Board, is a member of MFM, United Way and the worldwide Peace Keepers funded by Russell Simmons.

A motivational speaker, Heather realized while dealing and visiting prisons, that a lot of our black males were musically inclined and talented, they just needed someone to believe in them. Humbled by the accomplishments and success from the Ban the Box project, which applicants can no longer ask if you are a convicted felon, on applications in certain cities, Heather feels that if people showed up in numbers at Congress, town hall meetings  and petition halls, Afro-American’s voices could be heard. Campaigning and marching with different churches, Heather Henry went door to door and registered over 200 males to vote.

After working in the streets and mentoring young males, Heather decided, after her Master’s Degree, that instead of managing individuals at a corporate level, she would rather help the inner city youths by building self esteem, tapping into talent, and moving the aggressive behavior we display by music. Music touches souls and heals wounds. If artist could pour out their souls, and put it in a form of music, Heather believes that it would be less violence amongst each other. Heather also believes the youth of today just wants to be heard, and given the benefit of the doubt.

In 2013, Entity Ent was formed with a vision of turning gangbangers, violent offenders, and artistic males and females toward a hobby, which most times includes something in the music industry.

As of now, Heather is the hardest working Underground manager, writer, and Owner in Ohio. In 2013, with the help of her business partner Dayna Foster, Heather decided to play underground music on Dayna’s on-line radio station. “Playing underground 24/7 gives artist a platform to see what other artist are speaking about. WRTA also is a place to show friends, family and fans the talent they invested in.. Acknowledging all that she has had a pleasure of meeting she would like to give these artists a salute. Putting together a song with the right beat is not an easy task, and it’s even harder to perform in front of guest.

A writer, motivational speaker, manager, PR Executive and mentor, Heather Henry-Entity Ent. is on the rise. As of now, Heather works at the Jock Boxxx Radio Show, independently manages over 30 artist, practices entertainment law, and engages in her true passion writing by starting a magazine and being a publicist for artist and magazines such as Next2Blow in Alabama and Spitt Magazine here in Cleveland.

Taye Tags, The Peoples Champ!!!!

Complaining gets you nowhere in this game and are truly a waste of energy that could be dedicated to other things, like growth and improvement. For example, one thing I do in my career as a hip-hop artist is to make sure I give back to the community. Evaluate your past, pray for your future, and make today as productive and enjoyable as possible

- Dante Taye Tags.

Did you see that Mustang? I love Mustang’s!! I’m going to buy me a money green one!!! A money green one would be my 1^st choice, but I also love black, green, blue, and of course purple, because purple represents “the world”. With a sense of style I could definitely rock all those colors in one. Driving down Euclid on a Thursday evening listening to Sky High and Winning, Dante Taye Tags Peoples is very mature for his age. Dante was born two days before Christmas in 86, and since the age of six, Taye Tags knew he was destine for greatness especially after attending a hip hop concert featuring Kris Kross. This marked as a milestone as what he later embraced as a way of life, a culture.

 Growing in East Cleveland, on Elm Ave, by Shaw, Dante attended Euclid High School. With the help of his great parents  and grandparents, Dante, and his four siblings, 2 boys, and 2 girls, lived in a wholesome household.  Dante is proud of his musically inclined family with his brother being a producer and his sister finishing up in college. Raising a son, Dante is determined to set an example by following his dreams and creating a road to success with the help of his family and fans.

Not running with many people, Dante grew up a loner. He believes that “you” are everything to yourself. Wanting to learn how to play the guitar one day, he feels he’s very unique, and diversified, painting stories with punch lines. By switching from rapping to smooth R and B in his lyrics, Taye can keep a crowd fully engaged. Knowing how to blend in with his culture, he finds many ways to express himself. Like his favorite artist, Jay Z, Taye wants to stay relevant and run the race by longevity and blending different techniques in his delivery.

Attending Cleveland State for Communications, Dante currently Works at, “Da Jock Boxxx Radio Show”, as one of the host, as well as producing for the show.  Formed in March 2013, the show comes on every Thursday from 9 to 11 p.m. Co-hosting is one of Dante’s strong suit, right along with his ability to get in front of a crowd and perform. Dante has done over 100 shows in the Cleveland and surrounding areas, and shows no sign of giving up anytime soon. Before blessing the stage, he blesses the mic and wears his rosary as a good luck charm.With a strong stage presence and knowledge to overcome any obstacle, Taye has the ability to be the next biggest artist out of Cleveland, Ohio.

Credited with a strong personality, Dante can be seen on-line quoting inspiring quotes. Some of  the quotes that grasp readers attentions are, “The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory, “If you are doing what is right and positive but they still find reasons to hate on you just know you're en route to success, “If you believe in a cause then be loyal to those that share your belief and you will see the true strength of a shared vision, “Focus on building a team that specializes in getting things done not talking about it, and wanting to successful  becomes a strong possibility that Dante will be the next hottest rapper outside of Ohio #iSupportOhio.

Written and Interviewed by Heather Henry

C.C.Marley ________________________________________ *GOIN COMMERCIAL BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL*

	C.C.Marley
*GOIN COMMERCIAL BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL*

C.C.  Marley’s 1st interview ever and  Heather Henry was able to sit down with him and chop it up. A lot of laughs later, a story emerged how C.C. Marley was able to become C.E.O. of West Side Money Team, L.L.C.

Born in Cleveland, with ancestors from Maryland, Marley grew up on Detroit Ave, a one- way street out West. Laughing, Marley explained how he did what most children do, dumb shit. Throwing potatoes at cars, sitting in lawn chairs trapping, getting his jaw broke and chipping and losing his two front teeth, it was never a dull moment for Marley. Listening to locals wasn’t his thing. Matter of fact, he would tell people he was already famous, because of a 5 piece grill he got for fucking up his 2 front teeth.

 He’s mom worked all the time, leaving him time to do what the middle child does, slip through the cracks. He’s father is D.J. Mark Cox, but Marley doesn’t use his father’s name in the game, because he didn’t meet his father until 8. Marley feels that he’s dad didn’t shape or mold him to what he is today. Smoking good since he was thirteen, he was forced to enter a drug treatment program and drop every week.

He credits life skills classes for teaching him the entrepreneur skills needed to run his empire. Marley made it to twelve grade, and then entered life skills. He stopped going because they couldn’t stop breaking into his van.  His mom didn’t know he had a car for months. He would act like he was walking to school and hop in his car down the street. If you ask him, he will tell you he was not banking on rapping. His thing was drag racing his corvette. After everyone started screaming west side money team, he was given an original beat, and forced to do a verse. He didn’t want a label, he wanted a movement, and he didn’t want to scream one side of town, when cats could move deeper together. After analyzing the game, Marley decided to call himself a commercial rapper. Marley feels that he is farther ahead than most cats that have been in the game for years. He took his time studying the game watching other people’s mistakes and mastering his craft.

Always a leader, the hate came as soon as he started putting out promos.  Marley would get his own camera, put in on top of his car, and shoot his own videos.  You won’t catch him in a battle or freestyle because he has to marinate on what he wants to say. His songs are calculated, thought out, and synchronized. Always thinking ahead of the game, Marley knows that putting out an album sinks ships faster than just flooding the streets with singles. Why do an album, let it be hot for a minute, when you can keep dropping singles?

At 23, mature for his age, Marley just entered the game a year and some change ago.  It took him one time to have a bad show, with bad lighting, before he decided he would book his own shows, bring his own equipment, and if he had to, call it his production. After getting good feedback from people who didn’t even really listen to rap, Marley officially entered the game in January 2012.

 Mastering his craft by studying the competition and seeing the mistakes they made, taught him how to not do what they were doing.Some would say he’s arrogant but it’s okay with him, because he doesn’t care what you think. Marley believes the people who work with him are considered family, and he doesn’t want to push a gang, or side of town, but a movement.

Luck is a dangerous word. Marley wouldn’t say that he’s lucky, but would say that he has had some experiences that he doesn’t know how he got out of. One time while getting robbed, a guy squirted some industrial cleaner in his eye, which could’ve blinded him for life.One day Marley bought a cash explosion and didn’t think anything of it. His mom found it in his car, mailed it off, he got on the show and won eight-teen thousand dollars.

Marley seen some stuff in the courtroom. Not one to elaborate on certain situations, Marley had situations where he was supposed to point someone out and didn’t, he took a case to trial on mistaken identity, and witnessed dudes who tried to get him, tell on each other. He got stereotyped on a robbery charge for having the same amount of money in his pocket, than the victim claimed was taken.

Having his hair dreaded for three years, smoking well every day, and having the name Marley, C.C. gets asked all the time is he trying to be like Bob Marley. The answer is no.

 With a limited budget, his engineer and beat maker are people he grew up with, so they show him made love. He knew Smokehouse since he was a child, and they can chop it up for hours making beats.

 The $500 Performance Winner, in the, “Are You Visible Contest Concert”, feels signing to a record label is creating debt, and Marley doesn’t like to owe anyone. So he’s contingency plan is to use rap to build an empire and take his business skills to another level.With his budgeting growing and people seeing his potential, he plans to use rap to expand into a bigger company.

You can catch him at an Italian restaurant, out with his friends, at the movies, or being a good father to his children. Marley is going to hold it down until his dude Vic gets out of jail on a murder charge.

“People who analyze games are called experts; those who ignore the stats are called champions”. C-C Marley.
