When it comes to creating a cohesive project, there are a few components that need to be taken into consideration — production, sequencing, style, and vocal delivery. For immersive St. Louis rapper Rezz, he’s been able to establish all four on his newest EP entitled Buddah. The title comes from a childhood nickname given to him by his late grandfather and is an indication as to what to expect from the full-length project.

On the Buddah EP, Rezz finds his stride in expressing the ins and outs of his hustler lifestyle that comes equipped with fast spending and even faster decision making. On tracks like “Voicemail”, he dispels his own personal experience when it comes to choosing between his personal life and chasing a check. The braggadocious “Swerve”, which features 42 Dugg, acts as the single for the EP with him wrapping up the 10-track project with ”30 for 30” featuring production by 300hz and Zero.

The young rapper worked alongside a number of talented producers like ROCKTEE, CHASETHEMONEY, and Drellonthetrack and worked closely with late engineer Turn Me Up Josh. During their time knowing each other, Rezz was able to witness the young engineer truly perfect his sound and see the passion he had for it. He was the first to come to mind to engineer the Buddah EP but passed away during the middle of the recording process. He was able to provide the ideal template to help the project materialize.

Rezz truly takes the spotlight as his long hours in the studio proved to pay off. He impressively takes full control of handling the engineering and recording of the project, even recording some tracks in his bedroom. The intimate recollection of his day-to-day life is laced with vibrant production and hard-hitting bars that are sure to have you run it back.

Atlanta, entrepreneur, Music Business

Before you start your firm, you need research your market, locate rivals, comprehend risk, and plan your finances.

For a successful launch, you must first understand the labor needed in beginning a business.
The significance of proper planning cannot be overstated, as these decisions will determine how your company develops.
Making wise judgments early on can assist assure long-term success.

This post is for anyone who are thinking about starting a new business and want to learn more about the requirements.

Meet Neisha Davis, business owner and and, and host of Entrepreneur’s Takeover

What are the top 5 Things you need to know when starting a business?

Do your own research

Make sure you know everything there is to know about the industry you’ll be working in so you can succeed.

Before you start your business, conduct some research on the market. Know the industry you want to go into, as well as the important players and potential competitors. You should research your market before you start spending money on advertising. One of the simplest ways to start is to look at other businesses that offer comparable products and services. These businesses will almost certainly be your rivals. Without having to go through the process, you can discover what works and what doesn’t by watching what they’re doing.

2. Determine your audience

Take time to focus on whose attention you want to grab. This group of people will have an impact on every decision you make. Knowing who needs your product or service can help you perfect the offerings and ensure that your marketing and sales efforts are directed to the correct audience. Understanding whether you’re a B2C (business-to-consumer) or B2B (business-to-business) entrepreneur is crucial. Know who you’re talking to. A defined target market will help you better acquire new and repeat customers.

“If you don’t know what you want to achieve in your presentation, your audience never will.”
– Harvey Diamond (#1 New York BestSellers)

When you know your audience, your audience is receptive to your message. Every consumer journey starts with content that focuses on people and their needs.

3. Map Your Finances

Starting a business requires an investment, which you may not have right away. Therefore, you must look for new ways to raise funds. Make a strategy for how you’ll pay for initial costs, whether it’s with your own money, money borrowed from friends and family, or a small business loan. Estimate how much money you expect to make with a clear business plan.Plan how you’ll put that money to good use, and examine the disparity between your strategy and reality.

4. Create a Business Plan

A business plan lays out the measures you’ll need to take to establish and expand your company. This document is critical for developing a company focus and obtaining and retaining financing. A business plan guarantees that you present your firm in the best possible light to other professionals who are analyzing it. Even if you don’t think you’ll need it, draw together a professional and polished business plan so you’ll be ready to hire executives, raise funds, or expand when the time comes.

5. Find a Mentor or Get Professional Help

No matter how appealing it may seem, starting a business should not be a solo journey. Finding people who have been on this road before you can help you get on the right track. Connect with other professionals in your field, attend industry-specific events and conferences, and reach out to thought leaders in your field to learn more about their strategies. Learn directly from someone else who has gone through the process to help you set up your new business for growth.

Atlanta, entrepreneur, event

A Native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Neisha is a young, female, entrepreneur with multiple businesses.

As the youngest of three siblings, Neisha has always been around music, talent, and southern culture. The majority of her family are artists and musicians. Although she comes from a creative background, she had some struggles growing up as her mom was addicted to drugs and her father was in and out of her life and passed away when she was 12. After that, tragedy struck again with Hurricane Katrina and she had to relocate. Having always been extraordinarily strong and very independent, Neisha made her way to Atlanta, Ga. She used to always feel abandoned and often questioned her purpose but had faith that her trials and tribulations would pass and she would have a fairytale ending. Now she has made it her goal and purpose to help others find their own. Even though her journey has not been smooth, they make Neisha who she is today and she appreciates the journey and the process.

It has never been an easy path from my childhood to adulthood. I have always been very independent with a string drive to be successful. I have gone through so many obstacles over the years and still to this day. I have had many setbacks, but even more major comebacks. I have faced so many challenges that have caused me to go harder for what I want to achieve. I believe that if you continue to strive, your opportunities are endless, but the challenges are always going to be there. My strategy for success is staying on top of everything and knowing a little bit about everything.

Chicago Rapper Grindin Pun Releases New Song with Zaytoven

chicago, hip hop, Zaytoven

Fresh off the release of his single featuring Ne-Yo, Grindin Pun has released “Love Me Not” with Grammy award-winning producer, Zaytoven.

The song is a testament to dating in 2021, and how people might not be who they appear to be. With a creative delivery over Zaytoven’s dreamy and bass heavy production, “Love Me Not” explores what goes through a man’s mind when he feels his love interest is untrustworthy.

Allen “Grindin Pun” Lane was born on January 26, 1990, on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois. He was raised in the Henry Horner Projects, just blocks away from the United Center, home to the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks. Being raised near the United Center opened Pun’s eyes to expensive homes and condos, luxurious cars, high-end fashion, and expensive jewelry. Although only nine-years-old when he first discovered he was a talented lyricist, Pun knew that he would one day live the of the rich and famous on his terms.

In early 2001, at the age of eleven, Pun and three of his cousins formed the rap group, S.W.A.T. In 2006, as new members joined the group and became intrigued by Pun’s cool, yet sly demeanor, the name of the group was changed to Chi-Town Shysters, with Pun serving as its leader. Upon entering high school, the group sought out ways to make money to finance their careers, which they believed could catapult the group to a new level. Some got jobs and others locked into the streets to make money. Now with more capital, the group was able to make an impact on the local underground rap scene.

In January 2007, the Chi-Town Shysters were featured on Fox News Chicago for their accomplishments, with the exposure opening many lucrative doors that allowed them to become more regionally known. Capitalizing on the exposure, Pun has made countless business endeavors, has repeatedly appeared on public access television, has been featured on 28 mixtapes, and has released 5 solo albums.

In 2015, Pun left the dangerous streets of Chicago for Phoenix, Arizona, where he was blessed to be in the presence of Les Paul Rogue, a music sensation who once performed with Kool and the Gang, Billy Paul, and Sister Sledge. While in Arizona, Pun continued to work on his music, producing “Pills and Patron”, which quickly became Pun’s highest viewed video, with a combined 2+ million views. Pun would go on to produce for videos and perform on stages across the West Coast. But in December 2020, after realizing that Arizona was not a good fit for his advancing music career, Pun picked up and moved to Atlanta, Georgia.

Since moving to Atlanta, Pun has worked with in-house producer Shaun Heard, with the two of them creating a number of hit songs, including “Fine Wine”, that caught the interest of three-time Grammy award winning recording artist, Ne-Yo. He would go on to host “Fine Wine” releasing it as the number one song on his unsigned artist playlist. Following the release of the Ne-Yo project, Pun received a message from Zaytoven, which led to him getting production from him and creating “Love Me Not”.

“It’s a blessing to be able to work with someone we grew up listening to. Zay was just as famous to us as the artists that rapped on his beats. I am anxious to see the type of response and growth this song generates. I feel great about it and [feel] like it’s perfect timing”.
