P

icking up the pen at the age of 12, Chaz Burney, also known as Psycho Pilla, developed a strong liking for writing songs as his passion grew deeply for music. Travelling from state to state gave Pilla an opportunity to experience many different walks of life and encounter diverse cultures. Pilla was heavily influenced by his military family and an older brother who wrote music daily; Pilla followed in his brother’s footsteps closely.

As his passion for music grew, he also became fascinated with his brother’s night life; which led him to becoming gang affiliated at the age of 15. Although Pilla was a pretty good student, he found himself constantly in trouble. His criminal behavior sent him back and forth in the court system which almost landed him federal time. Fortunately, there wasn’t sufficient evidence to convict him on any charges. When his brother’s throat was cut by the same gang that he was affiliated with, Pilla decided to quit the gang scene. He made up his mind that, “You can be a one man Army; instead of riding for an existence that isn’t all the way 100% loyal”.

Psycho Pilla became his name as he chose to take his craft and passion seriously in 1999.

Psycho, was chosen because

his styles are crazy, and Pilla stands for “Pray Infinitely Lord is Liable to Answer”, a bold statement. His first group out of Chicago, Illinois was called “Fin Elite Squad”, which would explain his fast rapping abilities. Upon returning to Georgia, he formed a group called “D.P.S” meaning, Dead President Society, with ex-military friends Wayne C, Da Coach and Latex. While grinding as a solo artist and doing shows throughout the region, Pilla linked up with DJ Neko of MBM, Coast to Coast & Slip N Slide DJs elites and pinned remixes and songs on mixtapes to include Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Blood Raw. Pilla has also been featured on songs with multi-platinum artists TI & Gucci Mane.

In 2005, Pilla was back and forth hustling and grinding CDs and doing shows when bumping into the city’s well known, Absolute tha Truth.

While forming an effective and strong promo team, Pilla joined Lute on the road and quickly recognized the same grind and passion that he had for music. While affiliated with family ties Gutta Records Ent., founded by Jiggolo Joe, Sapp Reefa & Crosby Lanham and sponsored by Eightball & MJG, Pilla expanded his grind and network in the ATL area.

Before a collaboration CD could be formulated, Money Rome was murdered in Columbia, SC and Lil Hip was in

and out of incarceration, Jiggolo Joe, fiancé’ of Pastor Troy’s artist Rhonda (Help Me Rhonda) passed which eventually left only Sapp Reefa on the label.

Tired of ups and downs of the industry, Absolute formulated a master plan starting up a record label called, No Deal Entertainment, and quickly applied knowledge and skills to market while teaming up with Red Hott Records, a mutual business partner’s company. With the grind and rank after helping move over 20,000 units only counting Georgia, Pilla would get elected as Vice President of No Deal Ent. Features such as “Cook Up” on DJ Khaled’s titled “Boss Status” mixtape by Absolute, shows his lyrical capability and diversity as he rides the track to perfection. His first album, Psycho Pilla “Til the World Blow”, only warmed up the city streets but when he dropped “305 meets 706” he sold over 15,000 units out the trunk and continued to appear almost everywhere from Georgia to Florida setting stages and corners on fire with his impeccable grind to move crowds as well as CDs. In late April 2011, Absolute opened a studio in Augusta, Georgia to bring together all of the motivated and most active record label bosses of the city.

After a collaborative meeting with the heads of 6 record labels, a title was voted on to become the now well known & growing Powerhouse Muzik Ent. Being that strength comes

in numbers, the name would perfectly fit the team in its entirety.

The company now functions like an umbrella family effect; showcasing Street Skrilla Ent, No Deal Ent, FE Ent, Red Hott Records, Kang Koopa, and the Phantom Muzik Group.

ailing from Richmond, VA, Shaun Nicole was bred in the 80’s era of Hip Hop. Immediately she was drawn to it. Her entrance into the Industry was as an Emcee by the name of “Buttas”. She was under former Management Co., 438 Entertainment (I.D.U.), where she shared management with R&B Soul Sensation D’Angelo. She was a successful Female Hip Hop Artist, maintaining “sexy”, raw skill and the ability to command an audience all while outshining her male counterparts. She placed 3rd at a 32 Emcee Battle at a Hip Hop Music Convention called “Rap Sheets” at BET, (then home-based in Washington D.C.). She had a Hit single named “Snake Eyes” and her Debut Album “The Forgotten MC” spread through airwaves and had modest sales.

She wasnt satisfied with just being an Artist, so she ventured out thirsting for more.

She attended school at the Institute Of Audio Research in New York to learn more about the “business” and technical side of the industry. She went on to become an Artist Manager and made her mark in the Industry as “Shaun Nicole”. Although Buttas evolved by gaining

knowledge of the Music Industry and though she was just as successful as an Artist as she was a Manager, she still hadn’t found her nitch.

Pulling together education, experiences and obstacles she overcame being an MC, Shaun Nicole’s 2 Turntables & A Mic Show, started in August 2010 in Richmond, VA, was born.

Shaun Nicole is a strong force to be reckoned with.

Her creativity, attention to detail and business savvy are undeniable! Her humbleness and integrity will give her longevity in the Music Industry!

Sewa-Cida does GUT MUSIK!!!

H

e always explains his name by saying, “Sewa~Cida is pronounced suicidal, but it’s not like kill yourself. The sewer is the underground and that’s his side.

Therefore you have Sewa~Cida.

You may only know Sewa~Cida from the YouTube video Explain My Name that has a couple hundred hits.

He is a very talented artist that has a past worth reckoning. He started recording in Columbus, GA at 16 in 2000 with a group known as O.B.C. (Official Bloodline Clique).

An album produced by his childhood friend Jersey.

In 2003 he was introduced to an up and coming producer known as J.T. They formed a rap group called R.A.N. R.A.W (Real Ass Ni@$as Ready And Willing with CT3, Slimm, & Mark da Sniper); they recorded numerous songs and collaborated with local artists. Sewa~Cida eventually moved to Decatur and recorded full time with J.T which resulted in two albums in sequence. Sewa~Cida Thoughts: The Mixtape and Sewa~Cida Thoughts: The Album in 2008. In 2009 he worked with a local producer

name DMT to create a mix tape called Brangin Bak ’96 The Mixtape.

In November of 2009 he was sentenced to 5 years serve 18 months for burglary and during his incarceration received a random letter from J.T. He informed him of his “Da Spot Recording Studio” and wanted to give Sewa~Cida another shot. In 2011 they recorded numerous tracks like “Explain My Name”, “Smile” and “No More”. In mid 2011, with idofilms.com, he shot the “Explain My Name” video, re released Brangin’ Bak ’96 The Mixtape and released an album called GUT MUSIK . In 2012 Sewa~Cida started on another mix tape called “Sewa~Cida Still Writing” with Sparktacular Studios. He will be performing at Apollo Amateur Live! in New York August 22, 2013.

He always says the underground is his side, hopefully not for long.

With his newly formed group South Kamp he took the southern independent scene by storm. South Kamps first single South Geoi landed S-Wayne and his group a record deal with All-Net Records.

IAMU:was up primo how are you doing?

What it do, folk, what it is, maintainin', you know how we do!

IAMU: where are you from?

Planet Carolina, southern hemisphere IAMU: Cool so what inspired you to become a rapper I was prone to outbursts, and I love music! Once when I was young I saw a talent show and this guy did a rap, and I was like "that's pretty cool, I think I can do that!" And now I do it. Power of the mind. Put your mind to something and you will always accomplish it.

IAMU: Do you try to support other SC rappers on the come up as you?

I support those who support me. Period. And I got a list, I know who you are!

IAMU: How did you get your name?

I used to kick it with this Cuban dude, and he used to always say "Primo, primo, primo" So people thought that was my name. In reality, "primo" means "cousin" in Spanish, so he was really saying "Whaddup cuz!" (laughs out loud)

And Starr represents the center star on the rebel flag, which is South Carolina. Also, Primo means "one" and in certain cultures the star represents the child, and I'm one child. My mama ain't had no more puppies, and my daddy ain't had no more puppies, it was just me!

IAMU: what was it like for you growing up in SC? Hard. Racist. Confusing. Stressful. Where I'm from in SC specifically, it is the only place in the world that has a world-famous Ku Klux Klan museum, so that should give you an idea of the type of attitudes that I face towards my appearance daily. Crazy part about it is, I love everybody.

I may have one of THE most diverse camps in all of hip hop.

IAMU: when can we expect some new music from you?

June 15th!! "D-Evil's Advocate."

IAMU: ok cool so with that being said is there a particular single we need to listen out for?

As a matter of fact, two of 'em - "Say Hello To

My Life" and "Mollywood."

IAMU: last but not least do you have any shout outs to give?

Yep, shout out to all the haters, you are my motivation I appreciate you! Second, I'd like to shout out Next Level neck bezzle, JKnight, Nina German, Born of Eve!! Shout out to all emcees on the planet that's tryna get it in right

now, north south east west, Asia, Africa, the whole continent Europe [laughs out loud] WORLDWIDE! I'm willing to work if YOU ready to work!

This is the man so many of our friends and children idolize. This liar who is an ex corrections officers who now pretends to be a drug lord!! This clown who poses for magazine covers looking like Liberachii (hmmm). This poor excuse for a black man who raps about slipping a woman a Molly and then having his way with her while she is completely unaware of what's gone down. BTW that's called rape!! Please, he gets no love, no respect, no support from me!!

Kendra Quinn-Ward Atilewa Gray Girl Rick Ross is a herb!! He won’t take responsibility for the words that

came from lips. He’s trying to convince people that his words were misunderstood.

Too bad so many of us can read and write!! I think he believes that because he didn’t use the word rape that he can manipulate people into believing he wasn’t talking about rape.

Kendra Quinn-Ward “Put Molly all up in her champagne, she ain’t even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it,” So that’s not about rape????? What did he enjoy when he took her home? What exactly happened that she didn’t even know happened? Rick Ross and his followers are nuts if they think anyone believe this ain’t about rape.

He’s right about one thing it definitely is not about consensual sex!!!! That’s called rape!! You just used a Molly instead of a Ruffie!! \ Fatima Abdullah It’s unfortunate these self righteous ego types have the lack of integrity, and audacity to criticize another persons faults, just to appear notable in the public eye.

How can a mature intelligent black woman become so Muppet by a society as to demonize a black man or woman without personally meeting them 1st hand?

Paparazzi puppets like this woman chasing Hollywood machines and not the genuine person behind that large

entertainment smokescreen.

Do some real investigative research and contacts before you attack others. “The spiritual monk who criticizes the garments of the material man, has indeed himself become the material one!

Tamika Guy-Thurston Rick Ross, Lil’ Wayne, Tyga, Meek Mills, YG, Ace Hood, Two Chainz and anyone else of this ilk disgusts me. These “artists/ entertainers” view women as receptacles for their poles and DNA deposits. They rap about screwing women who are nameless - except for “bitch” and faceless as they hit it “from the back” except when they want her to “choke on it”.

If this doesn’t qualify as rape then what is it? It is rape of the female spirit when we are nothing more than things they acquire, less precious than their money, jewelry and cars.

These “artists” hide behind the veil of “entertainment” as their lyrics corrupt the minds of our sons and daughters who think life is about fast money and outrageous dangerous behaviors that are ok as long as you say YOLO after it. I thought it real interesting that Rick Ross’s comment to you ended with “money up”. Thanks for validation, Rick. Thanks for being a voice, Kendra.

Sela Lewis But here’s another thought. It’s not that it’s “just music.” It’s terrible music by a fraud, a fake.

When The Notorious B.I.G.

rapped about robbing selling drugs so he can feed his daughter, he also rapped about being paranoid and having suicidal thoughts. What he did was paint a rather unglamorous picture of small- and mid-scale drug life. Those songs may not have turned some away from the drug game, but at least they were given an honest portrait of the risks that come with dealing drugs.

Ross, on the other hand, has completely lifted the legend of the real “Freeway” Rick Ross, and supplanted it onto himself; someone who used to work in a system that is supposed to reform drug traffickers. What he has presented us is a minstrel show of the “black gangsta rapper.”

This is truly heartbreaking because guys like him get easily confused with every other black man with a mic in hand.

Friday at 3:45pm · Like · 7 Brooks Sales @sela soooo u never changed your mind b4??? Rick Ross is not responsible for doing the job of parents. I listened to, and watched everything as a child, no filters in our house. I still ain’t killing anyone, selling drugs or got a baby moms for 2 reasons Kim&Ray Sales wasn’t having it!!! It’s that simple. And that was in the 80’s when we knew less then we know now. Blame the parents for not teaching at home!!!

Sending ya kids to school ain’t enough. Parents need to continue the education and parent/child interaction at home But I understand its HARD cause the old-fashion Ass Whoopin they use to b able to give out is now child abuse and parents get it trouble, so don’t blame Rozay blame the weak ass politicians that give kids the power to act out because the consequences for their actions don’t scare them.

Go AHead with all of That!
