FAITH-FIGHT OF A WORLDCHANGER N8 WORLDCHANGER IG: @nateworldchanger

“N8 WorldChanger’s skill and talent shows that he is indeed the 8th wonder of Hip Hop” Check out his music.

N8 WorldChanger was born Nathaniel A. Douglas in Brooklyn, NY. His whole family is from Jamaica so he is first generation American. Raised by his father and mother, they noticed that the crack epidemic started to change their surroundings in Brooklyn, so they quickly sold the Jamaican corner store that they owned together, and moved to Langley Park, MD, in the DMV. As we know, the crack epidemic continued on to be a nationwide problem plaguing Black communities for decades. By the time WorldChanger became a teenager, drugs and violence had also plagued his community in MD. His family always kept him grounded on Godly principles from the time he was young. Having the presence of loving parents, gave WorldChanger the advantage of avoiding becoming a statistic to death and jail. However, like most parents, they unable to shelter WorldChanger from all pain and loss.

By the time he was 15, he had his first encounter with death and murder. One of his closest cousins was shot and killed by his girlfriend in Langley Park, MD. Soon after that WorldChanger would lose the very cousin that helped him mourn, Jomo Hollingsworth. The fall of that same year (1995) Jomo was hit by a car as a pedestrian, and the driver fled the scene. Jomo was pronounced dead a few days later, after being on life support.

These two ordeals would rattle WorldChanger's mind. And in a time when therapy wasn't as popular as it is now, WorldChanger was left to figure out his own emotions surrounding his great loss that year.

WorldChanger continued to discover his ability to write poems and songs by the time he was 18, but still hadn't found his lane as a solo music artist. He was more famously known on the U-Street scene as "The Poet".

“His journey is as fascinating as his music which is very lyrical and captures a room everytime”

N8 WorldChanger’s “Sedition” is just what you need: take a listen.

In 2001, the DMV area was terrorized by the infamous DC Snipers, who's state-wide tyranny would last for six months ending in the DMV, and claimed a total of seven lives. The lives taken included the final sniper victim, Conrad Johnson, the Ride-On bus driver, who was the first cousin (and mentor) to WorldChanger.

By this time, WorldChanger’s life took a turn for the worse being a young adult in his early 20's.

The anger, anguish and confusion that came from being riddled by so many tragedies, caused him to spiral deeper into the street life. He got involved with selling marijuana and being a pimp. And during that time, he realized what he wasn't cut out to be.

"You have to really play the role as a pimp. There are women that want you to physically abuse them. And if you don't, to them it's a sign of weakness. I took it as a sign that this kind of life just was not for me. I don't like hitting women," says WorldChanger.

“My testimony was the only way I could overcome the devil. Every mistake, was a learning tool. And sharing my testimony makes learning easier for the next person. I tried the path of anger and unforgiveness, so many others won't have to."

After years of avoiding the word of God that his parents instilled in him, and trying many other solutions, WorldChanger decided to invest his time cultivating his relationship with God. He learned how to forgive the people that caused him the most hurt.

Consequently, his life took off in a direction he appreciated, and he hasn't looked back since. N8 WorldChanger credits his steadfastness in his Creator, simply to his testimony.

WorldChanger found his identity as an artist after many years of searching. He credits his identity as an artist to his relationship with his Creator as well.

He has moved on to become a thought-provoking Soul-Rapper, along with being a loving husband and father.

He calls his present life, the fruit of his faith.

We're excited to see where that leads him next!

BEATMAKING

by E’jaaz A. Siddiqui, Producer It's also vital to consider the overall style and vibe of the beat, including the tempo, instrumentation, and overall feeling of the instrumental, to ensure it aligns with your style and message. In addition, it is critical to verify that you're buying beats from reputable sources that provide high-quality instrumentals. This will ensure that you're getting the best possible instrumentals for your music, which can help you stand out in the music industry.

Beatmaking is a fundamental aspect of music production that employs various musical elements to create a high-quality track. The beat plays a critical role in expressing the message of the song to the listeners, making it a necessary factor in any song. Even when people may not enjoy the lyrics, they will still listen to a song because of the beat. It is an undeniable fact that people can identify the beat readily, even when they don't know the lyrics.

In music production, the beat serves as the starting point for building the rest of the song.

It is vital to select instrumentals that match your style and message while meeting specific quality standards. When purchasing beats, it is essential to consider the production value, including the quality of recording, mixing and mastering, and overall sound design. A beat with excellent production value will have a polished and clean sound that is easy to work with, and it can help your music stand out from the rest.

Therefore, it's important to understand that the quality of the beat is what makes or breaks a song. It sets the tone, stage, and atmosphere for the rest of the track, making it a crucial element of any music production. So, if you want to create a high-quality track, remember to invest in the beat and work with instrumentals that match your style and message.

Another crucial aspect to consider when purchasing beats is the rights and usage of the instrumental. It is essential to understand the terms of use for the beat you're purchasing and that you have the proper rights to use it in your music. Some beats may only be licensed for non-commercial use, while others may have more restrictive terms. Understanding the terms of use before purchasing a beat is critical, as using a beat without proper rights can lead to legal issues down the road.

It is also important to consider the exclusivity of the beat. Some beats may only be sold to a single artist, while others may be sold multiple times. Knowing whether the beat you are purchasing is exclusive or not can affect the uniqueness of your music.

When purchasing beats, it is crucial to consider the genre of the instrumental. Different genres have unique soundscapes, instrumentation, and production techniques, so finding a beat that matches the genre of your music is vital.

Being Feminine

by Phoenix Fire Water

I never deny that I am a wombman. I never allow anything or anybody to take me away from all of me.

I am happy to stand in the truest of feminine embodiments. I am original woman. I take this seriously. I must allow the shackles of western toxic feminity off of me!

I never wanted to be a part of this country. I never wanted to answer yes when people asked are you from here?

Then I think about the creativity that could never be ripped out.

The creativity that could never be chained.

Creativity that allows me to experience the type of freedom that my oppressors only dreamt. My attempted oppressors lust for and try to buy what I embedded in my DNA. So, yes I am a woman and I am loving me.

1 OF 1'S Written by Glenn Edward Poetic Artistic Testimony with conviction, best describes the words used by Gee Dodd aka G-Smoove. Spiritually charged, rhythm driven, experience inspired to produce real life music. "Triumph Over Adversity", his mission statement, and "ANDWHATDOE", his battle cry.

If a song can touch your soul and content can stimulate your mindset; What does that say about it's creator? Do you become an admirer or a fan? Do you become both an admirer and a fan? Can you become both at the same time? Can you become inspired to get involved or take it further? Do you feel compelled to create? Do you consider it an honor to be received with high esteem for creating something considered to be valuable? Something natural but complex, or even something simple with depth. The artist G-Smoove is one of those "one's", facing questions like these head on with receipts for the debt associated with life's challenges paid in full.

Here's an even bigger question. Are there any true music lovers left? People who love music and feel like life is almost impossible to bear without it. People who can recite works written, composed, and recorded by an artist that they may never get a chance to meet in person. People who have adopted artistic works as theme music to their lives. Works that have shaped and or motivated the listener's mentality to think harder, work harder, plan further, and push for the achievement of set goals. Gee Dodd is one of those "one's" inspired to produce these type of works.

Gee Dodd aka G-Smoove intends to release a project titled, C.O.A.B.S. (CONFESSIONS OF A BLESSED SINNER). The album contains his trials, tribulations, triumphs, and adversity. A testimonial, if you will, sure to show and prove that life's lessons are truly a blessing; that the righteous and wicked will always share God's gift in common, LIFE...

ARTIST MANAGEMENT IS AN ARTIST MANAGER NECESSARY?

If you are a vocal artist, securing an artist manager is crucial if you want to pursue your music career seriously. Although some may argue that a manager is not necessary, the benefits of having one cannot be ignored. As an artist, your primary focus should always be on creating music and perfecting your craft.

However, there are many other aspects of your career that require attention and effort, such as booking shows, negotiating contracts, and managing finances. A good artist manager can take care of these tasks, leaving you with more time and energy to focus on your music.

Moreover, having a manager can also help you make better decisions and navigate the industry more effectively. A good manager will have experience and connections in the industry, which can help you get your foot in the door and connect with the right people. They can also offer valuable insights and feedback on your music, performances, and overall career strategy.

It is important to note, however, that simply having a manager is not enough. You need to have a strong and collaborative relationship with your manager, based on mutual trust and understanding.

STEELPAN MUSIC SWEET LYNDON ZORO & UPRIZIN BAND

“...when your work is doing what you love, you live a full life.”

The name Zoro was given to Lyndon B. Sorzano because of his quick notes while adlibing. Zoro, was captivated by the sound of steelpan from a very young age. Even as a four-year-old, he could be found in his grandmother's kitchen or backyard with makeshift pan sticks, creating his own rhythms on any pan that could produce a sound.

As he grew older, Zoro's passion for steelpan only intensified. He visited various pan yards in Trinidad and Tobago and watched in awe as adult players created mesmerizing melodies and rhythms. Soon enough, he joined them and started playing the real steelpan, which brought him immense joy.

In high school, Zoro played for the school band, Pamberi, and for many other bands as well. He quickly became a skilled steelpan player and travelled to France, Scotland, England, and Japan to showcase his talent. However, Zoro's musical abilities weren't just limited to steelpan. He also played the keyboard and sang genres like reggae, soca, and zouk. Despite exploring different genres, Zoro always kept his first love, steelpan, close by to the extent that he founded the Uprizin Band, which performs all over the US for a variety of events.

The band's sweet steelpan music is complemented with vocals as they perform both old and new melodies. Zoro's dedication to steelpan has made him a true musical talent, and his love for the instrument continues to inspire others.

Zoro has taught steelpan to high schoolers and has also taught the steel drum ensemble for one semester at University of Michigan. He is a recording artist and is currently in charge of the entertainment at Kola Restaurant in Detroit, MI. When he is not on the music scene, he is enjoying his wife of over twenty years and his four children. Zoro is a contractor and Lead Inspector in his day job and hopes to make music full time because he believes that “when your work is doing what you love, you live a full life”. As any seasoned steelpan player will tell you, “steelpan music sweet”.

LET’S BAECATION Hi Zaneta, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for sharing your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers. I have always had a deep love for traveling and exploring new places. It was during one of my own solo trips that I had a lightbulb moment – why not create a platform that brings together single travelers who share the same passion for adventure and connection?

Growing up, I was fortunate to have a father who was a big influence in my life. He owned his own business in the financial industry and always prioritized family vacations. I fondly remember joining him on his business trips, where he would make sure to include my mom and me in the travel adventures. These experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for the value of family vacations and the power of creating lasting memories through travel.

DIVINE MENTALITY - THE JOURNEY BEGINS “I just try to give my heart and soul in everything we do.”

Nate The Vizionary, is the producer and vocalist of the group. "I just try to give my heart and soul in everything we do. Been at it for years, but we're honestly just getting started." We have MUCH to learn and this journey is long, but with God, the Bible says "In their hearts Humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." - Proverbs 16:9

Divine Mentality is not just a group, or brand, it's a life style. The constant pursuit of getting closer to God and purpose. Helping and relating to God's people and letting them know they are not alone.

We push each other to overcome our own fears and trauma to become the best possible versions of ourselves. Sharing love, hope, light and wisdom along the way. Divine Mentality as a whole means "Like God," not to be confused with "God-Like." We are humble, patient, kind, and we spread the word of love and of faith.

We strive to be the ones that bring the change to the people who need it most. Our goal above everything, is to use the gift God gave us, and show that no matter who you are, and what path lays behind us, we are all chosen by God. There are three voices of Divine Mentality. Fred Bonez, the rapper who started the group says," Some would say fate brought us together, but it was faith that brought us closer." R.A.E.-E, who is the female voice of the group, "Takes great responsibility in adding the feminine compassion and strength in each song."

EAS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP EVENTS “We are intentional about hosting, attending, and participating in events because we understand that events are a necessary part of the entertainment industry”.

DMV TALENT EXTRAVAGANZA Events are an integral part of the entertainment industry. As the saying goes, “a candle is meant to show its light not to be hidden”. Performers and those within the entertainment space are encouraged to find ways to make themselves known.

One of the ways that hey can do so through attending events.

EAS Entertainment Group understands this and when it launched in June 2022, we hosted the first DMV Talent Extravaganza at the Bowie Center for Performing Arts. We auditioned artists through virtual submissions and selected fifteen, twelve of whom performed at the Talent Extravaganza. Judges were present to review the artist performances and first, second, and third place winners were selected. They received large tastefully designed trophies so that they can remember that particular success. They also received recording studio time since as a vocal artist, the studio is a place that they would frequent if they are to take their career next level.

We were pleased to hear that some of the artists first time experience of performing on a large stage was at the Talent Extravaganza. With this and other comments, we knew that EAS Entertainment Group was poised to make a difference.

The event was well designed and executed.

PERFORMANCE CRITIQUE SESSION Among other important factors, believe that constructive criticism is important to the development of vocal artists. Given this, one of the events that we recently hosted is a performance critique session. We secured a venue at a audio visual studio and secured judges and a professional photographer. Each artist came well-prepared as if they were the headliner at a concert. The performances were excellent and the judges gave feedback that were well received by the artists. We secured a professional photographer. Additionally, each artist was interviewed so that they can gain added interview training. The event was one for the books and well appreciated by all.
