Words from the Publisher This month, I want to give a big shout out to my Tastemakers Network and of course to its founder Kevin Shine.

Tastemakers is a network started

by Kevin Shine which links a variety of intellectuals together for the purpose of networking.

Tastemakers meet via conference call biweekly and discuss various topics relating to the music industry.

I've learned so much in the short time we have started and have truly enjoyed all the special guests who have come thru and shared their knowledge with us.

I think so far my favorite call was with the rep from BET who gave us great insight on the behind the scenes at the station and what the audience doesn't see. Big should out to BET!!!

I been able to link up and work with several people I've met thru tastemakers and it’s truly a blessing of a network.

Thank you once again Kevin Shine!!! Follow him on twitter @Kevin_anr_Shine where he drops knowledge on the regular.

How did you get started in music?

Hmm… well when I was about thirteen years old, I remember having a BAD day. I had a lot on my mind and no one to talk to. Even if someone was there to talk to, I could not have expressed myself like I wanted or needed to in order for them to understand. I went to my room, grabbed a pen and some paper and wrote my very first POEM. It was a poem but to my surprise, it became a song entitled, “My Life”.

How would you describe your music?

REAL!!!!! RESPECTFUL!! PURPOSEFUL!!! STORY TELLING!!! FUN!!! My music promotes Self Confidence, not pride. When I talk about the club and party scene, I don’t degrade women.

Most of all, my music is the reflection of my life. I share my struggles but I never end the song without letting my listeners know that Struggles don’t last always…they make us BETTER. What's your motivation when it comes to this music game?

Wow, what is my motivation, My Son of course? Well, this is one of my motivations. People getting to know me, the REAL me is my motivation. Too often artists are like books, we judged by the cover. If I can give someone hope and the courage to follow their dreams motivates me. In this business, we are all placed in one category…Rapper. I am motivated to prove that there are intelligent business men in the music industry, even at the unsigned level. What motivates me? Let me see, this is my dream career. I want my chance at the top.

What makes you unique as an artist?

My goals & dreams make me unique.

I am unique because I believe in me. I just don’t want to be signed; I want to

be discovered by America. When I have a pen and some paper, I am like Picasso. Even if you don’t understand or can relate to my music, you will always see that BREEZZ is by Design.

What part of doing music do you enjoy the most?

I enjoy interacting with the crowd and seeing how the crowd is responding to me and my music. I enjoy going to the lab. When I am in the lab, I am in another zone. I also enjoy being on the grind promoting my music. In a nutshell, I enjoy People and their response, ESPECIALLY the women.

If you could collab with any artist, who would you choose and why?

I like to and have assisted some local artists and have been featured on some tracks. There are so many talented artists in the 239; it is hard to be limited to picking just one. But I would collab with an artist that has a different style than mine. You were probably expecting me to say a major artist, but I am a realist and I want to win at each level so I can learn enough that when opportunity to sign does come, I will have knowledge and not just sign my life away.

If you could compare your music style with any current mainstream artist, who would you compare your style to and why?

Nelly! Yes, I am similar to Nelly. I know my audience. I represent Pretty Boi Swagg. Make no mistake…Pretty Boi Swagg goes hard, but the focus is more on Fun, Club life, Weekend Rendezvous and Life in general What are some of your goals in music?

First thing first, I have to first make a name for myself, by performing when and where I can (that is appropriate) 15

around the 239 & eventually expand. I want to expand my topics. I want to be able to talk about things from current events to the streets to Religion. I want to start an Indie record label, so that those coming behind me will not have to work as hard as I did. You know what, My goal is to always have my music, my style and my sound being a TRUE reflection of me, Not Jeezy, not Plies or anyone else. Don’t get me wrong, I respect them, but I don’t want to be them.

What made you choose to be an artist?

LOL! It chose me! I just went to my room to write a poem. Since the first Poem…”My Life”, I have been passionately driven to communicate with world through my music. Later in life, I realized that I am an artist & not a rapper. On my Bad day, I discovered my passion and my purpose …To paint the world Breezz Babii!

Before I exist, I would like to thank Ford Magazine and Lady Chelle for the opportunity to be featured. I also would like to thank Ms. Danielle Randell for an awesome photo shoot.

Thank you and great appreciation goes to those who support my music, pass out my music and just love my music.

Special shout out to my number one fan, my son Anthony Brown Jr. Daddy loves you. To my mama who pushed me and still pushes me to become a better person and a better artist. I love you mama! To my brothers, my circle…

You know who you are…This is a movement not just a performance, Lets gooooo

A year after our very first cover, it was only fitting to feature Ford’s favorite group back on the cover! Ladychelle traveled down to their neck of the woods to catch up with the four members of G.U.N.S. and find out what’s been going on, and what’s next for them. Ford also linked up with the guys last Easter right before their scheduled performance alongside Plies in Ft Myers (that interview can be seen on our website FordEntMag.com)

What is the secret to staying together as a group?

It actually doesn't take a lot of effort or a lot of work. We do whatever we wanna do, but music is what everyone has in common. This is what we do. We do this naturally. This is first nature, its not second nature to us. This aint a job. We cant call in and say ‚I need somebody to come in for me today‛. We live our job. Everyday, we wake up, we get our texts on our phones with messages that tell us what we need to be doing for that day. Our job is easy. And we’re used to traveling. So when its time to Load up, its time to go.

Last time I seen you guys perform, you had a lot of energy on stage. The people were loving it. Do you guys have any special rituals before hitting the stage?

Yea, Smoke. But people tryna make it seem like its so much more then what it is. Like it aint no ritual. We just do this. We listen to other people music that we like, on each other’s gadgets and smoke. That’s just what we do. Even when we not rapping.

We don't put our energy into them. We don't put our energy into stuff we don't wanna learn about. We trying to learn about music. We’re in different states every week. Their concerns don't reach us where we be at. We just try to keep a positive mind. People don't bother us. We worry about stuff like Which one is our good side to take pictures in, should I wear a hat and stuff like that. Those are the hard things we deal with on a daily.

One of your songs on the mixtape, the whole premise of the song is pretty much about the perks of being a rapper. Give us a little run down of the music lifestyle.

It aint what a lot of people would make it out to be. This is real hard work. And you really have to put your everything into it.

The grind don't come easy. Its not a step you can skip. You actually have to grind and get there. And you gotta stay consistent in whatever you do.

How do you guys deal with negativity?

We love them. Shout out to the haters. They have to know what you doing to actually not like you. That means they’re putting their energy into it.

21

All that work and all that grind. When do you guys play?

When we go out, yea its out job, But we party while we there. We don’t just go out just to go out.

There’s a purpose to it. You go thru all kinds of emotions in this. You be at your happiest moments in this. And you be at your hardest moments in this.

You go thru all kinds of emotions in this game. So we party we chill, we hang out with our people. All our families is each other’s families.

Ford Ent Magazine truly looks forward to catching up with these fellas again. We want to thank them, once again, for grazing our very first cover last year and definitely look forward to catching up with them throughout the year!

Hopefully pretty soon, we can all catch them again in Ft Myers and we’re definitely all looking forward to the BIG video! Stay updated with G.U.N.S via t w it te r @GoonsUnited and also via their website: GoonsUnitedBytheNewSchool.com

Kaspa Tha Wicked

Www.KaspaThaWicked.com Let's start at the beginning, how did you become "Kaspa ThaWicked"?

I got the name Kaspa as a kid from an older hustler on my block that I looked up to. He realized one day that I wasn’t interested in playing football and kiddy games like my peers so he would let me hang around him and his boys. When I started hustling I didn’t tell him or anyone that I was involved in the life. He one day found out when I was on the block after school and a package slipped out of my half opened bookbag in front of him.

He then said that I was like a ghost because I was so quiet and low key that he would have never known about it. Since “casper” was a popular ghost from a well known cartoon, he then started calling me that so I just switched up the spelling and it stuck with me.

I later added on “Tha Wicked” because I had developed a

reputation for being spiteful and vindictive in my neighborhood.

That’s just an extension of my personality.

Why music?

I believe that there is power in words and/or lyrics. I'm not one that’s good at verbally expressing my emotions but I found that through music I can get my thoughts, feelings, and opinions out. Growing up I would write notes to my mom when we would have issues or a falling out, and I would hide in the cut as she read the words and at times it would break her down into tears when she would hear my feelings or concerns. I just wasn’t good with face to face talks or interaction with people. I later found out that by putting it on paper and to a beat, I can touch on any subject without fear of embarrassment.

24

What are most of your songs relating to? Street life? Love?

A mixture?

My music is inspired by the streets because I am a product of the streets. I have been involved in that life since a youngin and I done been through it all from incarcerations to loosing soldiers and close ones. Through my music I take you on a tour through these Miami city streets and that road can get bumpy at times. However, I like to focus on the struggles and the celebrations of life versus the day to day operations or illegal activities of the streets.

What makes you unique as an artist?

I believe I have a different sound and it’s a sound that’s been missing from the music Industry, I'm just raw and uncut. I know you hear people claiming they keeping it “100” Well I'm keeping it “1000”! My resume is out there for anyone to check or ask about.

I came up listening to Pac, Scarface, 8 Ball & MjG, Trick Daddy and a lil Biggie so I'm into the Tales From Da Hood! I love a good story line in a record and that’s something I pride myself on. I like to take you on a journey with each record.

Tell us about your new single, Lots of Doe...

That’s just a MONSTER right there! A lot of times you hear about just the hustling activities, well I wanted to make a record that focused on the celebration that occurs after you done made you some money, your paper is right, and Stacks is on Deck! My producer Shoota played the track for me, within 15 minutes we went in on the hook. I took that with me, rode around with the concept and the very next day I came back a laid down a masterpiece. I think it’s a good coming out record for me and its getting a great response in the clubs, Strip clubs and Underground radio. But we not stopping here its a lot more where that came from believe Datt!

We know you have a record out with one of the south's favorite rappers, Lil Boosie, Tell us about that record, how did it come about? What's it about?

I was always into Louisiana artists, from Souljah Slim and the whole No Limit records to the Hot Boys and the Cash Money movement. I was presented the opportunity to work with Boosie through my cousin Black that

fucks with the Trill Ent. Camp. I was already a fan of what Boosie was doing and his grind inspired me. Upon meeting him we clicked ASAP on a personal note, me and Kid vibe alike and real recognize real since the beginning of time. I was going through some legal issues myself at the time we recorded the record so I wasn’t able to be on the road and promote it as I should have and shortly after he had his situation which sadden s me a lot! The record is a super banger , its called “Get Loose” . it’s a great club record and Boosie did his muh’fuckin thing on that! Its something for the ladies to bounce and pop to. Get it Get it Get it …lol Finish this sentence: The Game Needs me because: The game needs a makeover, its too much cookie cutter shit going on and all the real niggaz are becoming extinct, I'm that breath of fresh air.

25

What do you enjoy the most about the music industry? Making hits? Performing? Traveling?....

I like being in the studio working and traveling is great, but the performance part of it is the BEST! To see your work come alive and to feel a connection being made between you and your fans right before your eyes is the greatest feeling, no drug can give you that.

What's next for you? Where do you foresee yourself by this time next year?

I see myself running the Game or atleast the South, lol. No, but I see a better, improved, and more experienced ME. I'm still a student of the game but I'm willing to go out and give it my all. It is better to have tried and fail then to never try at all. I'm ready for what the game has to offer, I signed up for the long run so Let’s Go!!!!!!!

Beauty

Get Ready for Fall As fall is approaching, so are all the new fall trends. From fashion to hair and to makeup. But before you go into a panic that you have already spent a ton on wardrobe and school supplies, you do not have to break the bank to still rock the latest trends in the makeup department.

One of the greatest issues that I hear all the time, around this time of year is, losing that tan you have worked all summer to get and keep.

You do not have to let go of your bronzy look yet ladies, there are ways you can still have that bronzy summer glow and wear it gracefully in the fall.

Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Lotion is a self-tanner that is easily applied (CVS $7.49). It is recommended to add a few drops of it with your daily moisturizer to keep a healthy glow and avoid the dry skin that fall winds bring. By mixing it with your daily moisturizer, it makes it less intense like a summer tan and transitions you in to the fall subtle glow. Having a self-tanner will also help you avoid going from tanned to pale and pasty in days.

Since we hit the moisturizer topic, that is a year around must have! You should be careful on which moisturizer you decide to use in the long run, a lot of name brand moisturizers

contain harsh ingredients such as AHA, Salycilic acid, alcohols, benzoyl peroxide, drugs, steroids etc. these will only dry out the skin even further (causing flaking, rash-like symptoms). Neutrogena has many great products under $10.

And ladies, we do not need to let go off the bronzer (the heavens just opened and a ray of heavenly light just shined down as the heavenly choir sings Halleluiah). We have been taught by the best of the best to apply bronzer (our bff next to mascara and eyeliner) and to apply it on the apple of our cheeks and areas where the sun naturally hits your gorgeous face. Well, here is a new trick of the trade, apply your bronzer that you already have, off your cheekbone and start using it under the cheekbone. A good contouring product is Lightsweep shadester sculpt and shape powder by MAC. This is a well spent $28 . Now, I know I said I wouldn’t break your bank, but Fall means natural/neutral colors, so you can even use this MAC powder as an eyeshadow.

Having a great blush is also imp o r t a n t .

30

Colors like taupe and brown are a must have too. You can find great colors by e.l.f at Target under $3.00 and great eyeliners and brow liners under a buck!

Place some eyeliner under your upper lashes as well, to make your eyelashes look more full and blend it nicely with your choice of eyeliner and mascara.

But where would you be w/o full coverage and flawless looking skin? Motives cosmetics has a great line of makeup, especially their Custom Blend Foundations.

They also offer a selection of crème, powder, or liquid. You can go to Motivescosmetics.com and select your color and they will send you a sample of their custom blend foundations or hook you up with a motives consultant in our area that can have that one on one personal consultation as a one stop shop. Last, but never the least! Our luscious lips ladies…remember to have a good lip balm, because the worst is a dry, chapped lip. Nieva kiss of moisture is under $3.00.

Welcome the fall with a peace of mind knowing you are prepared and always looking good.

Fashion

Wearing White After Labor Day

Fashion has gone through an evolution as the decades have gone by, but it seems that this was just more than a fashion rule, it was set in stone. In the 1950’s you couldn’t wear your thigh high white boots in the fall like you did in the past summer! This was also a way to distinct the classes. Only the Elite had money to transition through the seasons when it came to everything from cars to fashion. Let’s all be realistic, white will always be a part of our wardrobe.

The fashion rules have been broken for centuries, as long as the rules have been made. Fashion still distinguishes through the classes. You have your elites that wear exclusive limited

fashions, but who is to tell you that you can’t wear your white air force ones, your white pumps, your white pearls, and your classic white Adidas when you feel like it…even after labor day??? I know one lady who would tell you that fashion is what you make it. She made a statement, more of a statement then being the only person in the couturier field to be named on the Time:100 Most Important People of the Century.

Coco Chanel incorporated white in her everyday wardrobe. Let’s also face the fact, if you live in Florida, the chances you will see cold weather in the month of September are slim to none. So if you find yourself standing in front of your closet with a blank look on your face and can't decide if you should dare face the world on Tuesday with a white article of attire, take the words from a wise woman: “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” Coco Chanel. Remember, " Everyday is a Fashion show and the world is your Runway!"- DJ Torres

Clothes by Delias.com

In the early to mid 20th century, wearing white became more than just a way to stay cool in the long excruciating summer weather, but more of a fashion statement and etiquette. So what does white and Labor Day have in common you ask? Labor Day is celebrated in the United States on the first Monday of the month of September, so it is traditionally marked as our last day of summer. Digging through the history and opinions of the fashion gurus throughout the centuries, they felt as though it was a fashion faux pa to wear the same wardrobe with a new season approaching. Many also felt that wearing white in the rainy season would get you all muddy and who wanted to walk in the streets of New York City with mud stains on their crisp clean whites?

Pimp This Game By @McKlezie -- I Bet You Remember My Name Hello everybody and welcome to another installment of Pimp This Game. I enjoyed the response that I received from the first article I wrote, so I decided to go ahead and enlighten you with just a little more knowledge. "Thank me later" in my Drake voice. Any who's, I seem to remember a time when Grind Mode and I headed to some city in the Midwest, in the hopes to expand our greatest (yeah I'm feeling myself), and while sitting in VIP indulging in some of the finest that this Midwest town had to offer, I was approached by a local artist and his manager. Now mind you, I'm 3 matrix, 2 shots of patron, 1 cup of goose and cranberry, and a one fat blunt into the evening already, so any discussion of business was a "chicken wrap".

Need-less-to-say, dude passed me a cd with a phone number written on it in what seemed to be eyeliner pencil and began to tell me that this was "the hotness". I let off a Wiz Khalifa laugh, and got back to giving this redbone all of pimping. I was giving her some of the best game that this young pimping had to offer, when a song came on in the club that caught my attention. Now there's a couple things that I pride myself on. This hellified pimping and my ability to call a hit before it takes off. So as I peeled Red off me, I took in the song and listen to the strong possibilities of it taking off.

By the second time the hook came around I'm mouthing the words like I made the record and doing my dry little two step. It didn't take long for the local artist that just dropped off the cd to me to return and proudly let me know that the record playing was the song he just gave me. Now listen very carefully, because I'm slowly pulling to the point. Being that his number was scribbled on the cd, I put the cd into my leather jacket with every intention to listen and decide how I would move forward with this potential hit. Fast forwarded five hours later, laying in the bed and waiting for Red Bone to bring me up some breakfast from the La Quinta free breakfast buffet (Oh yeah, I didn't forget about Red. You know I killed that lmao) I decided to throw the cd into my mac book pro (I get paid every time I mention mac books) and vibe on it. Besides the mixing issues and a couple other lil problems here and there, I thought the record was fire. I played the record for about 3 hours straight while driving back down to 34

“How Important is Branding yourself in this industry?�

Miami. Seeing nothing but an upside, I decided to give this local dude a call and let him know I wanted to fuck with the record.

Now some of y'all may have noticed that I've been saying local artist and haven't mentioned his name once. Well, there's a good reason for that, because after doing all this research on this record and getting all excited, dude failed to put a valid number on the cd.

Not only did he not put a correct number, but he never mentioned his name, never gave me a Myspace, Facebook or Email.

There was actually no way in the world for me to reach this dude at all. So this local artist made a cardinal mistake; He did not brand himself to me.

How important is branding yourself in the industry? Well, lets think of it like this. McDonald's, Pepsi, Nike, At&t yield billions upon billions of dollars and obviously are known throughout the world. You as a customer know that when you walk into any Mickey D's you will see the Golden Arches, a Big Mac, and those delicious fries. You know when you pick up a pair of Nike running shoes, you will see the check on them. You see a N and Y on a hat, you know its a Yankees hat no matter the color. So why do they still spend billions on advertising?

Simple, they are branding in your minds who they are while at the same time creating impulse thoughts about what they are trying sell you. For example, you're sitting in the studio starving wondering what to eat, and the engineer walks in with bags with the Burger King logo on it, and you suddenly hunger for a whopper. That is a brand that was sold to you because of constant advertising and once seeing the brand, you remember the product and craved it. Now that we understand what branding is, how do we use this to further our musical careers.

Truth told, some of y'all our branding yourself and don't even realize it. But its all got to mesh together and make sense. If you are a goon at heart, you talk like one, you walk like one, you dress down in all black, grilled up tatted up, you whoop your woman and whatever else goons do, then let the music you doing reflect that. Making a record like Parents Don't Understand

wouldn't be up your alley so to speak. Don't misunderstand this as me saying to become a carbon copy of what's out there.

You still have to create your own lane. It's not that you're trying to be like everyone else but you are trying to have the public remember who you are and for it to make sense to them.

Repetition makes perfect. There is no wonder why when you watch WWE you know what's gonna happen. You know the Rock is gonna hit them with the peoples elbow, raise the peoples eyebrow, and ask you "if you smell what the Rock is cooking."

Then later on you see millions and millions of fans walking around wearing the Rock's shirts .

The better you brand yourself on the small circuit, the more you peak the interest of the majors.

Think about Khaled yells out "We the Best," Jay Z throws up the Diamonds, and Waka Flacka yells his name 1,000 times thru out his records. You may not agree with the tactics but whenever they get interviewed or perform you know what they are about to say sometimes before they say it . I am aware that every one I've mentioned has a machine behind them, but it's not all about the money. You as an artist must remember to brand yourself on the smaller scales with the ways that don't need money. Ask yourself this, when you perform on a record, do you remember to even say your name, whether it is in a verse, intro, or hook?

35

Do you have a phrase, accent, or sound that identifies the crowd with who you are? Is your name spelled correctly on cd's, flyers, and t-shirts?

Or more importantly is it spelled in the same font so that it becomes familiar with your target audience?

Are you at rhythmic club, trying to break a trap record? Does the deejay say your name? If your answer is no to these question, then maybe you're not branding yourself correctly.

Its simple people, the more you are seen or heard, the better you are branding yourself. If you performing at a club for free, then ask the promoter to put your picture, name, and/or logo on the flyer.

Do not shy away from interviews, or cameras. Do not be afraid to introduce yourself to new people while at the same time making sure they remember who you are (In a good way). If you are funny, loud, arrogant, tall, short, whatever makes you stand out; use that to your best ability. At the end of the day when you leave your house, someone new should remember you. Invest in flyers and a photo shoot with the right image that you are trying to promote. This is key in branding because when you are gone and out of sight from your target audience, your flyers and image are still left behind.

And lastly, your internet game should be agreement with one another. If you have a blue back ground on Facebook, twitter, and MySpace should be the same.

Remember McDonald's. Every store looks alike for a reason. That's so no matter where you are in the world when you see it, you know its McDonald's. Same premise, no matter where your target audience goes on the internet, when they see it they should know its you.

Branding is extremely important if you are trying to make in any where in this game. Now you can get money without being known, and that is another topic.

However if your goal is to be famous, then you need to brand yourself. Because honestly, who wants to be that guy that has a hot song but no one remembers their name.

Thank you for your time and once again follow me @mcklezie for any questions or insight.

Poetry/Spoken word The Impossible Come Alive

In Times To Come

Born in a world where drugs and killing ruled, she was taught to never loose but raised to cheat if it lead to win.

In her heart she knew there was more then this, how could this cold world have love for this type of living.

In times to come as things have past we find that for the things we ask and the things we do are to get in where we fit in or get stuck up in sin, where our mission is either over or beginning. One thing we don't want to do is keep going through battles and duels unless we know its a way out of this struggle we go through.

Grew up being told she wouldn't succeed, the tears burn her eyes but refused to let her weakness be seen. With broken dreams she continued to push hard, knowing one day this would take her far.

Her shadow became her best friend, trust and loyalty had died. Waking up with screams, she knew she needed to become free. To the sky she looked and prayed to GOD for wings.

Her day finally came....

Determination broke those chains, released from what held her in. The gray skies that have never been bright are now showing a new light. The doors that lead to a new life began to open wide.

To those that told her no, she showed them wrong.

Reaching her goal, finally finding the missing pieces she held her head high and walk that road with nothing but pride....Crossing that finish line she made THE IMPOSSIBLE COME ALIVE!

By and by through bloops and blunders things that happen they make us wonder, how it can be just like a jungle sometime in our mind but it's designed to fight from the start as long as we have the heart to finish. We can't be diminished by the people that are going to smile in our face, disgrace us, act like they were there with us and didn't even have a clue that God had designed for us to make it through.

Sooo laugh now cry lata alligator we're gonna go on and meet our Creator, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and Ending To Him we will be sending all lf our prayers, sorry bout that slayas I'll pray for you too cuz that's what my Bible tells me to do but u can't keep watching out for me cuz I can't keep watchin out for you the only person I know is you that's got to walk in your shoes. For the popo's and judges we can't hold grudges for the incarcerations and fingerprint smudges they can't hold a soljah down won't nothing stop us now as long as we keep on movin. And if you think I'm smooth @ what I'm doin I'll just tell you that Jesus comin through.

Ya see naughty boyz are like twelve gauge shotties kickin noise and when we abuse our toys uumm boyee, ride or die ,die or ride get inside for if it takes all day or if it takes all night I'll be like drac @ ya neck on sight, not strapped in wrong but strapped in right lookin for our Savior to give us some light. See mind bashers are like computer hackas hacking off into the brain but we've got to maintain move on man or woman avoid the strain hear what I'm saying!
