I remember growing up looking at reviews and interviewers discussing a project with an artist and go into full detail. Now a day’s a writer writes a review in a few lines makes one comparison to our icons that we grew up watching and they call it a review. For an artist like Ray Fame a few words just are not enough, and I am not just saying it because of my friendship with the ICMG 2 DEEP member. The newest member of their team lived a lifetime of heartache and pain in which we never understood nor he cared to share with us for a long time and he took the time to express the hurt and the pain in the only way he knows how through music. With his help from label mate Teddy Grahams and Kony Brooks at the helm making sure he continues to spread the message to all of us. At some points he surprised us all where his words became motivating as opposed to the normal thotty thot stuff you see on a daily basis. The five track EP was released this past Friday November 16th, a special day the day of his daughter’s birthday. The project describes everything he has endured in his past and the wisdom he wants to pass down to his children. Untold Story, Thoughts of a Felon, and Pain Muzik are our favorites here . Untold Story dedicated to his mother and her life story, The line that touched me the most was Fuck a job I told her i rather run these streets. She said son you bugging go and get your degree one day I wont be here this family going to be missing me . In this track he has us thinking about the choices he had to make and to prepare a future that one day would not have his mom. It touches you makes us all think of the questions when our parents do not want to bury us but we dont want to bury them either. We never want to be able to live a life without our parents, and we think about their thoughts if we are on the best path or not. Thoughts of a Felon , which debut on Write Your Own History Live . Our favorite line includes As im hanging up these pictures on my cell walls praying one day they will open these cell doors never sell my soul homie, so don’t sell yours homie cant wait till they open up these cell doors . I automatically think about the struggle he went through without his children and the pain they felt waiting and trying to understand why Fame was not home. I felt all the pain and agony from Fame’s eyes and his story of his life in incarceration. Pain Muzik the opening track of the entire EP describes Fame’s life and how the world shut him down and told him no to be emotional dealing with the tragic deaths of both his cousin and his mother. That the life he was living is the answer to take away all his pain, if he would still have the respect if he took another way. Describing what he could do to give his daughters a life they deserve. The vocals in between the verses has you in contemplation to the sound. The EP was put out in a story line, where each song was a different scenario which includes the hit single She’s My Type featuring Teddy Grahams and Saay Park but the remix featuring newcomer Ceresse J . Only thing that could have been added was a transition between tracks in order to give us some time to process what we had just heard. Overall this project is truly amazing and Fame has truly surpassed all expectations. The young rapper will be an irresistible force keep up with him.

When most college students are enjoying their four years, drinking their beer and going to parties, studying their butts off because they waited last minute the day before the test or just partaking in extra curricular activities. Justin Drummond was playing basketball and essentially taking over the world. Rawrrzone interviews one of the youngest CEOs of our generation. 1) When most college students are enjoying their college years you are building an empire, what motivated you to do this at such an early age? How did basketball play a role in your success? I understood that life will hit you hard after school if you don't prepare for it. I have always tried to be wise and think ahead when it came to the my future. I always tried to learn from other mistakes instead of having to make them myself. This concept motivated me to think deeper than the average college student, and prepare for life after college. I knew starting my business in college would increase my chances of success due to the time that I will have to build before graduation. Basketball played a big role in my success, it took me across the world and expanded by mind and taught me how to be leader. I was the leader of the team, and learned how to lead a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. I always kept a level head perspective with basketball, it was always a means to an end for me. Not end all, be all. Without basketball, I wouldn’t be where I am today, but it was only a launching pad. 2) Did you originally go to college to pursue business? What was your dream when you were younger? No, I went to college to pursue the NBA or a career in criminal justice. My dream when I was younger was to make it to the NBA or be an FBI agent. 3) How has your experience as a mentor for the boys and girls club help you in defining your leadership skills in your current positions? Mentoring at the boys and girls club opened my eyes to the ability to affect change in kids lives. Along with me being a high-profile basketball player in Toledo, this provided an avenue to reach young people and change their perspective of themselves. Also, I realized I was very good at public speaking and inspiring kids creatively. It gave me a fulfilling vibe that great and I wanted to continue building on that energy. 4) Where did the idea of the inspirationist come from? “The Inspirationist” name came from the effect I would leave on audiences after speaking. “The Inspirationist” is defined as the one who inspires through Information, Inspiration, and Access to Opportunity. I fine tuned my inspirational abilities by having to motivate my teammates during the season and at times of adversity. 5) How did you become involved with Execz Suit Company @execz_suit_company? It was an idea that I have always had, the biggest question was how I was going to make it happen. The key to entering the suit market is with a niche, ours would be providing the best quality at the lowest price. That was my mission. The mission was achieved by taking a trip across the world to Asia and found the best manufacturer of all time. Execz provides the best quality suits for the lowest price. We are unmatched in this market, and we will continue to grab our market share in the DMV area and beyond. 6) How do you feel about appearance in today's generation? How will your Execz Suit Company help change the cultures viewpoint on presentation in a professional setting? Appearance is everything. You are judged by your appearance. Perception is reality. It is important and our youth are moving away from valuing appearance. At times, that is due to the cost of presentable clothing, especially in the professional realm. Also, a suit can change one’s perspective of how they see themselves. I want to make this feeling affordable and easy to acquire. We need to create more black professionals in our communities and this will definitely encourage that goal. Execz will always serve the community by providing people with high-quality suits at comfortable prices to encourage professionalism within our communities. We want to provide suits to young children suits so they can see the value in themselves and think about the professional journey that lies ahead. I want to change the perception of how young black men are viewed. More suits on our young men will help change the perception of others and themselves. 7) Tell us about SparkC? How do you feel like your time at SparkC helps you in your daily routine? SparkC is a way to tap into my passion for safety and security. SparkC is a cyber-security and mission consulting firm that provides integration, innovation, and impact to the defense and armed forces. SparkC was my first company, and this type of company is strictly corporate business. I started this business with $400 so it has really made me discipline and understand that you don’t need much to start a business. DISCIPLINE! DISCIPLINE! 8) Your motivational speaking is it directly primarily to the youth? Or do you also look to speak in older more mature crowds? I speak to all types of crowds. When I speak, I like to do my research on the demographic of the audience I will be presenting too. When speaking to young people, I tap into more of my creativity side. When speaking to those older than me, I tap into principles and process for success. 9.1) What goes through your mind when you speak? This is a funny question. When I speak, I kind of blank out and am I in “The Inspirationist” mode. Of course, I know what I am speaking about and I practice so much it's kind of like muscle memory. I definitely stay focused on the timeline of my speech and some of the creative inserts that take during my speaking engagements, such as, my premiere “Inspirational Sound”. 9.2) Do you ever feel intimidated in front of your audience? During my first speaking engagement at the District of Columbia Attorney General “Right Direction Event”, I froze up as I was speaking. I totally went blank and froze in front of 200 people, but then I played it off so smooth as if I was thinking. After the speech, people told me they thought the pause was cool because I was speaking a little too fast. 9.3) What do you do when you do not feel motivated? I listen to “Inspirational Sound” which is my premiere inspirational product, you can find it on soundcloud. It is a new way to digest smooth inspiration, I believe it will be big one day. It will be on ITunes soon. 10) How did you develop the three C's of Spark? The three C’s of SparkC is Character, Creativity, and Consistency. This is a message that I started off with when I first started public speaking. It was honestly how I got my business off the ground. 11) Thinking back as a child did you ever think you will be doing this and achieving so much in your future? No, I didn’t know I would be starting a business and actually being able to survive off of my business. I always knew I enjoyed working hard and going the extra mile, for some reason, In my life i’ve always been doubted by others especially in sports. I have translated that same mentality to business. Nobody is obligated to give you anything, you must work for it and prove that you deserve everything that you get in life. I learned that excuses don’t do anything. 12) Without all of this who is Justin Drummond? Justin Drummond is guy that loves to chill and work. I enjoy time with family and loved ones. I am pretty simple guy outside of the businessman. I rarely get to spend time outside of that role because work is life for me as a entrepreneur. 13) If you had to give a child who wanted to follow in your footsteps what would you tell them? I would tell them start early. Start expanding your knowledge early in life, like age 10. Learn how the world works, learn about different professions. Don't believe that you have to wait until you get older. The smarter and more educated you are at a young age, the potential of your success increases. I started my business when I was 11, It was called J&J Snack bar. I started it with my brother and this helped us learn how we can make our own money. I believe doing that at a young age propelled me to directly diving into entrepreneurship. Follow Justin everywhere and follow us at @mnrawrrnyc

The MC from Southside Queens is at it again, if slaying people in cyphers was not enough he made sure he had the best video out on the scene. With the an old school glamour vibe XYLE and Melly. The song as a visual representation of the F**K you movement they on longer have f***ks to give and that they arent waiting for anyone for them to take off. The video dark and sexual has the rapper portraying a rockstar, in our opinion he has pulled off the rockstar personal of Lenny Kravitz. His collaboration with painfully gifted visuals was the missing piece in his arsonal and now that he has it he is unstoppable. May the scene be warned he is going for the kill.

The Silent Celeb is back at it , the songstress from the Bronx and one of the long standing members of the musical renaissance is back to showing us why she is the real celebrity here. Her latest song and visual Slide featuring Red D Daz is setting her apart from her normal musical styling but its a refreshing taste of fresh air. Shot by Invisible Imagery the video took place in a beautiful loft, which set the tone for the house party where Celeb woos the girl on the dance floor. Whats interesting about this song and video is after hearing Celeb’s musical styling her RNB and sometimes outspokenness (i.e Good Music) we seen a transformation in her musical style, first with her collaboration with Nova November, then her remake of Touch me Please me featuring Kony Brooks and first where she has integrated more hip hop into her music, and currently her collaboration with RedDDaz shows she can transform her music to be adaptable with different styles making her even more of a hot commodity in this industry. The woman is a force to be reckoned with. This video is definitely one of our Rawrr Picks in October. Follow The Silent Celeb @thesilentceleb

J. Garc formally known as Long Island's Fresh Prince stepped on the scene way before Katie Kay was even a name, and has continued to keep us bumping to his smooth, and sometimes his adventurous sounds. Now a days the artist from Long Island has been surprising us with a little experimentation . From Lose my Mind to , R4TN we have the latest piece of magic Tonight. Tonight is a combination of both his smooth styles, mixed with the EDM / trance sounds provided by Itsthebee. The production of this song took Garc to a new plateau not only as a rapper but a singer and a writer. The freshness of his sound is something the hip hop community should look out for. He is the example for artists to not be afraid of going out of your comfort zone. Video for the single to be released soon. Follow him everywhere @garcityblues

It has been the year for the self proclaimed King of New York himself Kony Brooks . He went from being the underdog in the industry to one of the most respected artists on the scene. His latest album All Hail The King which released in May of 2018 was a stepping stone for the young artists career, with that he has made numerous appearances at events, made the covers of magazines and more recently was on Shade 45 for the Kay Slay show. The most important thing the MC has done in our opinion was bring his music to life. Recently he has dropped the visual for his single Waistrainer . Directed by Teddy Grahams, the visual has taken place in a gym showing the ladies working hard at the gym while illustrating the visual while the MC himself is the coach for the ladies. Who wouldn’t want Kony Brooks to be their waistrainer after watching this video? The best thing about these two working together on the visuals as well as the music is they seem to get the grasp of what each other need visually as well as musically. He never seems to go wrong directing the video. We cant wait to see what else Kony Brooks and the rest of the ICMG 2 Deep family have in store for us Follow him on instagram @konybrooks
