MemphisRap.com interveiw with The Independent Movement™

MemphisRap।com interveiw with The Independent Movement™ Lately there have been a buzz of movements throughout the Memphis, TN area that are all well-focused on trying to bring together the musicians, artists, models, rappers, singers, dancers and more in the city। Some are positive and some are not, whereas some seem to be somewhat effective, while others simply seem to be riding on pure faith alone.When attending an event in Memphis, you're sure to catch a glimpse of some hot local talent but you're also sure to run across a postcard here and a postcard there with local artists trying to get exposure for their CD and it's simply going to take more marketing than that. Well, local music executive as well as board commissioner of the Memphis and Shelby County Music Commission, Antonio "2 Shay" Parkinson, has been for some time offering artists means of exposure through his movement which utilizes street marketing as well as exposure over his Raleigh Frayser compilation CD entitled "Welcome To Ridgemont." "What this CD is doing is creating a fan-base without the large budget of having to invest in a whole CD themselves. They (local artists) build a fanbase with Welcome to Ridgmont," stated 2 Shay to MemphisRap.com. "We've already got a following, [Welcome to Ridgemont] is an established brand with over 4,000 CDs sold on Volume one and Volume 2 and we expect Volume 3 to do 5,000 copies."Local artist performer/rapper Miscellaneous (Misc.) is also on the movement train track with his development simply called the "Memphis movement" which held an event back in June 2006 along with the help of 2 Shay and sponsors MemphisRap.com and others at the National Civil Rights Museum. The Memphis Movement included a live concert of local performing artists, a panel discussion, voter registration drive, Civil Rights Museum tour and meeting of Memphis political Candidates. Miscellaneous recently told MemphisRap.com he has washed his hands of the beef he once had with Yo Gotti and is now focusing more on his new CD and the Memphis movement. Miscellaneous' new album is entitled Key 2 Da City and is expected this year.Rapper and producer Cortez "Godfellow" Currie, once of the Out Da Frame's/Dynamimk Production's print has also stated he too is working on a movement, one he calls an Independent movement for local artists to promote positive rap lyrics into their CDs and performances. "I started as a Gangsta rapper when I started rapping," Godfellow told MemphisRap.com. "But I started out singing at the age of 10. I think rappers can be more positive but they also can remain true to their gangsta lifestyle in their lyrics as well, but until we start coming together as artists and media, we won't get far."Another movement is the Memphis or Die movement headed by CEO Barry "Plutonium" Walker of Nuclear Records who has taken the audio and visual movement to DVD with the Memphis Or Die DVD which is set to release early this year. The DVD features 8Ball & MJG, Project Pat, Playa Fly, Crunchy Black, Yo Gotti, Lil Wyte, Frayser Boy, Chrome, Gangsta Boo, Skinny Pimp, Al Kapone, La Chat, Kavious, Miscellaneous, Young D, and many more. "I've been studying the game for a while and I just pay attention to detail. What I was seeing was that every city that blew had a movement going on within that city," Walker stated to MemphisRap.com. "The Cd is crazy I mean I searched high and low in every corner of Memphis to get the best I could find."

In unfortunate news, Memphisrap.com has learned that legendary Memphis rap producer DJ Squeeky of 47 Mobb and Mo'Cheda Records, who's viewed by the Industry as one of the founding fathers of Memphis buck music, the roots to Crunk music, was involved in an accident last Friday night/Saturday morning at 3am which has left the 'beatmaker' hospitalized.
"He had a very brutal accident… From him blacking out," Memphis rapper Yung Kee of 47 Mobb told MemphisRap.com.
Further details revealed that Squeeky, after just 'touching down' back from Atlanta on business, took a dose of strong medicine and after coughing furiously at the wheel, blacked out, which caused the accident.
"He was just coming back from Atlanta. He had a little cold, he was kinda sick.. It was some medicine, and he took the medicine and the medicine was too strong," Lil Lody, the youngest member of the 47 Mobb, told MemphisRap.com. "So while he was driving - he coughed, he had already been coughing and stuff, so when he coughed — it made him black out, the medicine was so strong, he just blacked out, it made him blackout," added Lil Lody.
Kee and Lody both confirmed to MemphisRap.com that Squeeky suffered from a broken hip, broken bones to his face and bumps and bruises that has left the producer facing up to 3 months in hospital recovery, but Squeeky is already looking to recover maybe sooner.
"He's getting better as the days go by, he broke his hip, he broke part of his face, and a few bumps and bruises, but Squeeky is a soldier, he's healing fast!" Kee told MemphisRap.com. "He's already up moving around a lil bit everyday!"
Both Kee, Lody and the whole 47 Mobb are asking for fans' support and best wishes during the healing stages of their friend and somewhat mentor, DJ Squeeky, as Lil Lody states, "Everybody keep him in your prayers."
"We've got alot of new stuff coming.. that's my dawg, my ace 'boon' — that's who be teaching me," Lody added.
"Most definitely we need prayers and support from everyone," stated Yung Kee. "It's hard for us right now, but it's getting better as days goes by! He's also talking now..," added Kee.
Before his accident, Squeeky recently produced the track 'Welcome Back' for Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy and was preparing to continue recording work for his solo album release as well as other releases from off the 47 Mobb brand and outside of the squad.
In related news, both Yung Kee and Lil Lody have new album projects coming soon. Yung Kee's latest album "Perfect Timing" is in stores now and features the single "I Be On Dat Good," which recently had a music video released for the song.

I feel accomplished in the last month..broke a record in 3 days

Working with long time associate Ian "Mista Ian" Wilkerson, Godfellow blasted to over 1500 Djs, industry execs, radio stations, overseas countries and entertainers alike day and night. Mista Ian's single "Cellphone Watch Ft Lil Scrappy and S.M.G"(dirty version) a promotional song for Mista Ian's new telecommunications device the cellphone watch with touchscreen capabilities, usb, voice command, camera, an.. introduced for retail in the United States for the first time on a large scale (www.mistaian.com). The process seemed easy for the brainchild and consultant "Godfellow" he first used a long time connection with Memphisrap.com by networking through his personal profile by posting his highly acclaimed commercial and the cellphone watch single on his music player. Two days later Hosea Mays founder and creator of Memphisrap.com featured the single on the main page of Memphisrap.com all at the same time Godfellow enterprised on his internet marketing skills by blasting the single via myspace, blogs, emails, and other major and independent networking sites. In his great efforts the single was played on Hot 107.1 FM in Memphis, Tn in heavy rotation (Hot 107.1 version) along with a commercial done by Hot 107.1 on the third day, the single had posted to over 15 Blog sites by this time, and highly acclaimed Internet radio stations. Lil Scrappy even tried to capitalize on this mass effort by doing his own version of "cellphone wacth" with his group G'z Up which ended up on his personal myspace page (www.myspace.com/lilscrappy), xxlmag.com, and other sites with mediocre reveiws.
Godfellow and Mista Ian continued the grind and the original version was met with great reveiws, heavy rotation, a product and concept to go along with the song, which was what Lil Scrappy was missing. In all the madness Godfellow remained consistent and landed deals with T-Mobile, Disney, Endorsements, and other credited formats to the new found cellphone watches. Godfellow is one to be reckoned with in the music industry with his known success as the go to guy to get your record heard, played, and land deals, outside of his own career as an artist, producer, promoter and management. Keep your eyes and ears open to the next project to date.
