INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Almost every community in the U.S. – and in fact throughout the world –battles opioid addiction. In the U.S. alone, drugs kill an average of 130 every day, and the fight against the problem affects the U.S. economy by an estimated $78 billion a year, according to
usafacts.org.

Drug addiction is a major issue in the U.S., and U.S. Public Health Service Officer Nana Kottens is on the front lines of that battle. As a professional artist and founder of Sound Lion Records,
Kottens is in a unique position to bring attention to the issue by way of his music. And on March
27, he’ll be releasing the single “Mama Don’t Give Up” as a way to educate the masses on drug addiction.

“I’m a public health professional and I go out and educate people on opioids and other drugs,”
Kottens said. This song is an attempt to raise awareness for that support system – to raise
awareness of addiction and its effects on individuals and families. It’s also a way to shed a little
bit of light on the stigmatization of addiction. A lot of people are striving for a better life away
from addiction, but they aren’t likely to share that struggle because of society’s stigmatization
of addiction.”

Kottens said the song has a slower vibe that will help elicit emotion from the listener, with the
hope that it will lead to personal reflection and spur conversations with loved ones. It’s also the
first version of the song. Kottens said the plan is to release different versions of the song over
the course of the rest of the year, with different vibes – from reggae to dance to alternative and
more.



“I’ve been a songwriter for a very long time – more than 25 years – and I felt that this was a
good time to use some of the messages we’re trying to get out there in the form of music,”
Kottens said. “I really believe it’s a song that will create connections and help families. It’s also
going to showcase different demographics and help people understand that there’s a whole
range of people who deal with addiction. And people’s struggle with addiction is not a joke or
something to bounce to but rather, something to be serious about and sit down and talk
about.”

Kottens served in the U. S Navy for 5 years. Following his time with the Navy, he completed a
master’s degree at the New York Medical College & Liberty University. He’s been serving in the
public health sector ever since while also pursuing his love of music by founding his own record
label in May 2012. Since that time, the label has signed four talented musicians and has freely
distributed music for more than 40 Ghanaian artists, ensuring their songs are distributed
worldwide.

More recently, he also co-founded Grino Music – a new music streaming app in Ghana that
enhances the way up-and-coming artists can monetize their creative works.
In conjunction with the launch of “Mama Don’t Give Up” on March 27, Kottens is also
developing a Vevo channel that he hopes fans and followers will interact with over the next
weeks and months.

HIP HOP RECORDING ARTIST 'BIG LOVE' TALKS NEW RECORD "VERSATILE CHILD" AND MORE!!!

Death of older brother inspires Texas artist  to create soul-searching new album ‘Versatile Child’ 

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW

BIG LOVE (16:12)

Download the MP3

WACO, TX – When Shawn Love was young, one of his favorite things to do was ride around town in the car with his older brothers, Aston and Deon. The three of them would turn on music and freestyle, making up their own songs from other people’s music and competing with one another to see who could have the hardest adlibs. If Shawn’s adlib was off, his older brothers would coach him and help him be better. The three formed a close bond.

So it came as a hard hit when Deon was killed in 2017 after being shot in the back three times. The family is still reeling from the loss, and for Shawn, the best outlet has been music. And so, taking the nickname passed onto him from his older brother – Big Love – this budding young musician has put together an album that pays homage to the late Deon in a way that also connects to others around the world who have experienced loss and heartache and pain.

The album is called “Versatile Child,” and it serves as Big Love’s introduction to the world. It’s a project that showcases his unique sound and style in a way that new fans around the country
are already clamoring for. With hints of Dolph and Wiz Khalifa, Big Love takes inspiration from some of the legends of Hip Hop and puts his own spin on it, creating a one-of-a-kind sound that is undeniable.

“I’m in my own zone,” Big Love said. “I just want to sound like me. What you see is what you get. “Versatile Child” is fueled by the passing of my brother, but it also has songs on there that a lot of people who don’t like rap will like. I make music for all people to like. I talk about a lot of different things on the album which makes it unique because it’s not the same on every song. The main reason I started making music was because my brother passed. But we actually lost more people after that almost back-to-back. It felt like one person would pass this week, then after a few weeks another person, and so on. So seeing my family go through heartaches for so long, I took it upon myself to make it my mission to be the reason why everyone smiles. My family is strong and blessed. I wouldn’t trade them for the world.”

 Big Love said “Versatile Child” lives up to its name by showcasing a lot of different styles and deliveries. Sometimes he’s singing on the hook and sometimes he’s giving listeners straight rap. He’s always trying new things while staying in his own lane, which is part of what makes him so versatile.

“People don’t really know me, and this album is my way of easing them into my world,” he said. “I have a few songs that are heart-touching and some that are more upbeat. People who have heard it have been saying they love it, and I’m eager for more people to check it out.”

One of the standout singles from the album is a song called “KingPin.” It’s a song that explores the various reasons relationships shift and evolve over time, and Big Love uses an experience with an old friend to illustrate the sometimes-hard roads that have to be navigated when it comes to meaningful relationships.

“’KingPin’ is me expressing the disloyalty of my friend and how you can’t trust no one,” Big Love said. “However, it’s also my motivation to keep going. If you really want to do something, then you have to invest in yourself. It’s also me being in my own lane and trying to get to be the best person I can be. When I cut that song on, it makes me want to go harder. I catch myself replaying it over and over because it’s basically my motivational song. This song is talking about real-life stuff and it really brings together everything that I want my music to be known for. I want my music to be known for getting my message out. It’s just me and as I progress, you’ll get to know me more and join me on the journey. I just want to make some good music and at the end of the day, if you can enjoy my music, then that’s everything.”

HIP HOP RECORDING ARTIST 'LOVE DOCTA' TALKS NEW SINGLE "HOOD ROMANTIC" AND MORE!

Luv Docta offers relationship advice with new single ‘Hood Romantic’

CHICAGO, IL – Ladies and gentlemen … the Luv Docta is in session.

LOVE DOCTA (19:21)

Download the MP3

Hailing from Chicago, this lyricist with a heart of gold has amassed decades of wisdom when it comes to love and relationships, and he’s ready to impart that wisdom to a wider audience with his new mixtape, “Luv Affairz,” which is slated to drop April 24. He’s already been helping people all over the U.S. through his videos and podcasts which bring his many experiences of love and loss into the light in ways that help other people through their own situations. And with this new mixtape, he hopes to give people a soundtrack, of sorts, to their lives and to offer a musical outlet for the ups and downs of their relationships.

“I’m bringing Soul and Hip Hop together in a way that can change the game forever,” the Luv Docta said of his new project. “Every track on this project represents a kind of vibe that’ll have you drunk in love, but through my music. It’s more than just making good music though. It’s a movement.”

Three of his singles off the tape have already been making the rounds and have created a wave of excitement in anticipation of the full release on April 24. Most recently, his single “Hood Romantic” has been gaining some major attention throughout the Midwest. Luv Docta said it’s a song for everybody, but he recognizes that more women will catch the message behind the music than men.



“Women love guys who have a soft spot to him,” he said. “A guy who is romantic and sweet but who also has a little aggressiveness – not in a bad way but a good way. I consider myself as an artist who has a good side and a bad side. And because of that, I can give those females that different vibe experience. The song, overall, is mellow and drives people in with melodies as well as with vocals and my unique cadence. So the women are not only getting one thing but many things. And that echoes what the song is about – a man who fits all the criteria of what they’re looking for. I want people to get that sense of soft R&B Soul, but with a little bit of trap and melodies. I’m rapping and singing. I’m giving you a chill, summer vibe. And people are already loving that vibe.”

Luv Docta said he prides himself on being a versatile musician and for having a keen business sense when it comes to the industry. More than anything, he’s glad for the opportunity to use his past experiences to help others through difficult times. He points to his own seven year relationship that ended in heartbreak and how the lessons from that broken relationship have not only helped him make more positive choices in his own life, but have also lent themselves to good advice for others dealing with difficult relationships issues.

“The way I fought through the heartbreak and the deep depression that came afterward was to fight through those dark places and mentally pick myself up every day,” Luv Docta said. “I started working out and started praying and developing a routine that made my everyday life lighter and better. I took some time to find myself again, and the music helped me become at peace with myself. I started posting these transformational videos and started getting some buzz on social media. I’ve had a lot of eyes on me ever since and I’ve been blessed to encourage and inspire others. That’s why I’m excited for this new tape to drop because I really believe it will help a lot of people.”

MEGAN DUKE TALKS NEW ALBUM "HEART ON FIRE" AND MORE!

Seasoned artist Megan Duke delivers hope with new album “Heart on Fire”



LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

MEGAN DUKE (27:19)

Download the MP3

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The soulful and sensational Megan Duke has been singing for her entire life. Starting off as a worship leader, she moved up to performing live in front of huge crowds including the Restoring Honor Rally at the Washington Mall (500,000 people), and four times at the March For Life (100,000 people).

After more than ten years of touring experience, she had a realization a couple of years ago in downtown Indianapolis. She started singing in Monument Circle where she suddenly understood that her singing gift was not only meant for her - it was meant to be shared with others. Megan’s new album, “Heart on Fire” carries a message of hope which is particularly relevant at these times. “So many people are in search of peace and hope, and trying to discover their purpose in life,” Megan said. “I feel that the messages of these songs are really what so many people are searching for.”

With traits of Christian worship music and a sound that cannot be pigeon-holed into one particular genre, “Heart on Fire” is slated for release on March 27. The collection of 13 original tracks was produced by Leo Flores and primarily recorded at his studio in Muncie, Indiana, with two tracks recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. Over the past ten months, Megan has been releasing singles from “Heart on Fire,” including “Set My Heart on Fire” which artfully shares the story of Megan coming to share her singing gift.

Another single which resonated with many listeners is “To the End.” It speaks of God’s boundless love
for all, and that a person can never stray so far that they can be separated from the love of God. Megan
said “Once you’ve experienced His love, He will never let you go and He’ll be with you all the way to the
end of your life and beyond for all eternity.” Believing every word she sings, she feels that God will
never let his followers down.



Megan has several years of professional music experience. She was featured on over ten major
projects in partnership with Prestonwood, Integrity Music, Hans Zimmer’s team, Liberty University,
WOW Records, Red Tie Music, Radiant Music, TobyMac’s Man Cub Studios, and Biglife (including the
Dove Nominated Album, “Horizon”). She also appeared on albums with Paul Baloche, Michael W.
Smith, Michael Neale, Charles Billingsly, Biglife, and the Gaither Vocal Band.

Working on her own album which contains songs written together with her husband, Megan was able to
discover her own sound. Drawing from her own background and the influences of powerhouse diva
vocalists like Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, Megan’s own unique creativity is shining through. She
creates music to transform lives in the hope that listeners will take the message and share it with
others.

Megan Duke’s impressive background includes being named “Vocalist of the Year” at Liberty University
three times, plus numerous live shows and musical projects. Besides her appearances at the Restoring
Honor Rally and the March For Life, Megan also performed at the Ark Encounter Grand Opening, David
Platt Conference in Thailand, CRU’s global church planting conference, and has toured the US, parts of
Europe, and Asia. She has been the main opener for FOR KING and COUNTRY, and toured with
Winter Jam with Crowder, Passion, Hillsong Y&F, Building 429, Andy Mineo, Riley Clemmons and
Zauntee.

Previously released singles from “Heart on Fire” are already creating quite a buzz! Megan’s songs are
featured on Spotify’s “New Music Christian Friday” playlist, Vertical Church Band, Weekly 10 Best of
2020, New Christian Music 2020, Top Hits 2020, Worship Music 2020, New Music, Discovery Global,
Top Friday New, Global Hit Music, and more.

Encouraging and positive, Megan’s music has wide appeal which connects with people of all ages and
backgrounds. She continues to write music, and considers the album release the beginning of a new
journey. This deeply spiritual artist is determined to touch as many lives as possible.

CA$H El PRINCIPE TALKS NEW SINGLE 'Te Necesito' AND MORE!

Prince of Reggaeton displays his mastery of sound with hot new single ‘Te Necesito’



LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

Ca$h El Principe (15:04)

RIVERSIDE, CA – One of the pioneers of Reggaeton is continuing to make hit after hit every year, and his newest single “Te Necesito” is no exception.

Hailing from Riverside, California, notorious artist Ca$h El Principe who was born in Bronx, New York has been lighting up Reggaeton charts and the greater music industry for years. What started as an original sound that shook up the Latin genre in the mid-1990s has grown to become a global phenomenon, and the opportunities that have come from that one-of-a-kind genre-bending sound have been numerous. Ca$h has had his music played on TV shows – including “Sons of Anarchy,” “The Kardashians,” “Love N Hip-Hop,” “Burn Notice,” “CSI Miami,” “Bones,” “Dexter,” “Terriers,” “E! News Live,” “90210,” “Bad Girls Club,” and VH1’s new hit “Cartel Crew.” He’s also seen major success on the international market with daily downloads in countries such as France, the UK, Brazil, Greece, Spain, and of course the U.S.

His new single “Te Necesito” is set to continue that global success. Featuring Rikee We$t with whom Ca$h frequently collaborates, the upbeat Reggaeton vibe explores the lengths to which a guy will go to get the attention of a girl he likes. The song can be found on all digital streaming platforms, billboards and radio stations from West to East Coasts, with a new music video set to drop in mid-March. From there Ca$h will be starting his tour on Spring Break at the famous Club Iggy’s in Rosarito, Mexico then going Nationwide from Cali to Miami.



“I consider myself one of the pioneers of Reggaeton since I’ve been doing it since 1990 before it
even came out as a genre,” Ca$h said. “It has come out bigger than I ever thought it was going
to be and right now, the Latin market is huge. It’s a perfect time for me. I know what I’m good
at and what I do, and I’ve done music for TV and film. I think this is my time and I have a lot of
supporters who are behind me. I really feel like this song is the one to take me to that next
level.”

More than anything, Ca$h said “Te Necesito” puts on full display his unique voice when it
comes to melodies and arrangements. What starts as a unique writing style evolves into a
unique vocal delivery, and when those things are paired with his signature Reggaeton vibe, the
result is magic.

“My creativity and the tone of my voice are just different than anyone else out there,” he said.
“At the end of the day, I hope my music is known for the messages I bring. I’m not just talking
about drinks, cars and money. I want all my music to be positive and something that can soothe
your ears – for all ages and races. Anybody can listen to it and enjoy it. I just want to bring
something new to the world that can last for decades.”

Following “Te Necesito,” Ca$h said he’s planning on dropping another single called “No Mas”
on June 1. It too, will feature Rikee We$t and will continue to display his mastery of Reggaeton.

HIP HOP / SONG WRITER CHAZO TALKS NEW EP 'GOOD FOOD GOOD WOMEN GOOD VIBES: THE INTRO

New York artist set to drop follow-up EP to successful debut effort



LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW

CHAZO (21:14)

Download the MP3

HARLEM, NY – The wave of success that fast-rising New York artist Chazo has seen since his debut EP release “GoodFood GoodWomen GoodVibes” in late 2019 has propelled him onto the music scene in ways that cannot be ignored. And now he’s set to follow up that eye-opening EP with a second installment called “GoodFood GoodWomen GoodVibes: The Intro.” Set to drop by March 20, this project features four new songs from Chazo that he said will help fans get to know him better as a person and as an artist.

“The last one was the prequel so it talked about everything that happened with me before the music,” he said. “This one is the intro. It’s all original music and content and all of them are album cuts. They’re not really mainstream commercial songs. They’re more songs that you can get to know me. I really believe you can learn about an artist the best by their album cuts. And with this, I’m showing people I’m continuing with quality material and making music that will continue to resonate with people, like the first one did. It has the same feel and vibe you might get from the first one – with storytelling and quality songs – but it has different styles of music. That’s what I want people to take from me as an artist – relatable and versatile.”

The first song on the new EP features fellow artists C-Nellz and APO. Chazo said the concept of
the song is to introduce people to the idea of what it takes to start over in life. He said it’s a
song that gives people a sample of his life and nods to the things he talked about in the prequel
EP, but then flips the script and introduces them to this new life that he’s undertaking as a
professional musician and entertainer.From there, he takes listeners on a ride with the single “Dough Boy.” It’s a song that he said showcases his unique skill as a rapper. “It’s me just rapping,” he said. “I’m being a rapper’s rapper. I’m free styling on an original beat and showing my skills.”



That song is followed by “Another Story” which Chazo said may be the most relatable single on
the EP. It’s a song that nods to all the minorities who have grown up in the hood. And though
he said he recognizes that there are thousands of other songs about the struggle and street life,
this song is one that is very personal to him and will connect with many people because of how
it presents a universal story of a kid growing up and how he wants to tackle social justice and

political issues and ultimately make a difference in the world.The final song on the EP is “Reality Check” which Chazo said is simply a song about taking a hard look at the things that go on every day of our lives that we often overlook.

“It’s things an average person go through – whether with family or friends or associates or
work-life,” he said. “Everybody has a story, and this song pushes people to take a look in the
mirror and ask themselves if they’re really living the best life they can live. One of the things I
love about this project is that everything is universal. Everybody can relate to it in some way.

You might be at work having a good vibe with a co-worker, or on vacation, or at the table with
your family having good food, or out somewhere with your home girls … every possible
experience is encapsulated with the title ‘GoodFood GoodWomen GoodVibes.’”

Deep emotions and unique lyrics combine controversially on new music from Mayne 

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW! 

MAYNE - HIP HOP (22:20)

Download the MP3

Landover, MD – Originally from Mississippi and raised in Maryland, Jamel “Mayne” has always been a soulful guy whose emotions run deep. Moving around quite a bit as a child, he found a passion for art, human skill, listening to soulful music and writing, and often wrote poetry to better express the riot of emotions running through his mind. He would soon discover the potential of his poetry after joining the Marines right out of high school, paired with a roommate who played the guitar. The two had one thing in common, the love of music. Mayne quickly discovered that the poems he’d written for so many years worked even better as lyrics on top of his roommate’s original guitar riffs.

Not until years later did Mayne discover what he stood for and knew exactly how he needed to deliver it. He broke back into the music scene with the EP “Soul Speak,” which he says is about spiritual growth. The single titled “No Hook” – with its intoxicating beat and melody – is comprised of different songs, bands and artists in a way that solidifies what he feels his song
should represent, that being teaching and guiding through music, like a lot of the music he enjoys to this day.

His newest project is a two-track EP called “Moonlight Dream,” which explores the double meaning behind things like growing up in the streets or the false face that the world often presents through the paradigm of culture and technology. 

“I would consider myself a spiritually focused artist who is speaking with intent to connect to the emotions and spirit of the listeners, rather than the ego,” he said. “When I craft songs, I write with the aim to speak not to follow the trend but for the sole purpose of speaking from true inner feeling bringing different perspectives on life, love and passion of having faith and finding purpose. I like to think of myself as being very knowledgeable about different styles of music, and I’m open to listening to a lot of different genres. All forms of music I believe has an energy that can either lead to the promotion of negativity or positivity, destruction or creation. I look deeply into situations and events, I’m an analytical person and my music I believe or at least try to help people associate with the emotions and true feelings that come from what’s going on around them.”

Mayne said there are a lot of roots of alternative rock to his music. But even that descriptor doesn’t truly do his signature style justice. It’s more of a guide than anything else, as Mayne prides himself on bringing an original sound that nods to what’s popular today, but also stretches the boundaries of what’s progressive and new. 

“My music has a lot of double meanings in the songs,” he said. “I know not everyone is going to listen and get what I’m saying in the underlying message, so I also try to make the track relatable for the conscious as well as those who just want to hear beats.  I don’t always succeed but I make the attempt.  But if you were to really listen to it, you’ll see that there’s actually something deeper there. Only a person who is more aware and conscious will understand what my music is really supposed to say. But really, at the end of the day, I want my music to just be something you can vibe to that brings you an energy that creates and love. My music is not negative or meant to try and destroy. It wants to rebuild. I don’t want to be known for putting anyone down, it’s enough of that. When you have a platform like this, it comes with a lot of responsibility. I don’t want to perpetuate a negative cycle even if I have done something that maybe seen as being THE WAY. I’m trying to figure out a new way to get my point across in more positive and creative ways to engage.”

HIP HOP RECORDING ARTIST ALPHA MILLZ TALKS NEW SINGLE "BARBIE" AND MORE!

Mixture of melodies and dark vibes creates  pretty nightmare from New York artist Alpha Millz 

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!

Alpha Millz (20:31)

Download the MP3

STATEN ISLAND, NY – A new Hip Hop record with a Rock and Pop vibe from New York artist Alpha Millz is creating some buzz throughout the U.S.

The song is called “Barbie,” and its melody-heavy darker vibe is connecting with an everincreasing fanbase in ways that is bringing some attention to this up-and-coming musician. The song explores the aftermath of a traumatizing relationship and the hard reality that often comes with the knowledge that what you thought you had with someone was as real as you thought it was.

“What really sets me apart from anyone else out there is that I’m in my own lane,” Alpha Millz said. “I’m not trying to compete with anyone’s sound. I just figured out my own sound and I’m running with that. I’m in this kind of cross-genre space and I’m very good at creating a vibe for people. I can create any type of vibe. With this song, the heavy melodies are perfect for setting a moody vibe for people who feel out of place, and letting them know there are other people in that gray area, too.”

Alpha Millz has always been a fan of music and said he realized his potential as a musician at a very young age. He recalls being inspired by legends like Eminem and Bone Thugs N Harmony. Their melody-heavy Hip Hop was an early contributor to his own signature sound and style. He said music was always the path for him and once he stepped into the studio the first time when he was a teenager, there was no turning back.

“This is something I can do over and over and never lose that spark of energy that I felt the first time,” he said. “I want my music to be known for being something you can tune into and escape. It’s not always about the lyrics though the lyrics are important. The way I make music with melodies and beats and put it all together – it’s an escape. It’s a pretty nightmare. And when people hear it, they can be inspired that there are other people out there like them. Even if it feels like they’re getting messed over, they’ll be able to know that they’re not alone.”

Alpha Millz works closely with other artists and has put together a production company called New World Disorder. Some of the artists he works with include Los Dinero, SkonkBlokk and Dancer FrostByte.

“Barbie” is the first single off an upcoming album called “Alphas Ark” which is slated to drop July 4, 2020.

LOS ANGELES, CA - Hip Hop artist, Zone00 (aka Donteau Mazone) originally hails from Beaumont, TX. After joining the military, Donteau lived in different parts of the world and traveled extensively. Like his lifestyle, his music style cannot be pinned down to one particular place. Fusing influences from many regions, Zone00 delivers catchy beats combined with lyrical wit and spontaneity. While some rappers will claim to be king of a state or region, Zone00 is in a position to be the King of all Kings.

Released in October of last year, his 7 track EP, “King of All Kings” showcases the artist’s intriguing hybrid sound, a blend of different aspects from different places. Recorded at HandWrittenLA in Los Angeles, CA, the collection features the commercial friendly title track, along with the lyrical onslaught of “Beyond the Stars.” A relatable theme for fans of the genre, “Da Bag” is Zone00’s version of getting the bag. The aptly titled “Donteau’s Inferno” tells his life story in song. With a diverse array of topics and styles, the EP shows Zone00’s range, giving a small taste of who he is as an artist.

The “King of All Kings” EP followed the May 2019 release of “Legend You Never Knew.” After
leaving a potentially huge 5-piece group which disintegrated due to creative differences, Zone00
released the LP to show listeners what they had not been getting. “This is what I bring to the Hip
Hop game that makes me different from other people who are doing music now,” Zone00 said.

Most recently, Zone00 recorded two new singles at the legendary Paramount recording studio.
Zone00 found out that artists he looked to as a barometer, such as Lil Wayne, Drake and
Mariah Carey, had recorded at Paramount. He made the decision to record there and was able
to knock out two great songs. “When it comes to doing music,” Zone00 said “you have to really
invest in yourself.” From this new material, Zone00 is planning to lead off with “Cuddy Buddy,” a
catchy, fun song with a playful hook and really aggressive style. He also recorded “Respect My
G” which picks up on the “King of All Kings” theme to tell the world what he is bringing to Hip
Hop.



When Donteau was growing up, his father became a fan of Ice Cube and Tupac after initially
telling Donteau that Hip Hop would not be around for very long. Listening to DJ Screw, UGK,
8Ball & MJG, Scarface, Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z and, E-40. He later took up songwriting and was
mentored about the business side of music by a studio owner he met. Zone00 is now addicted
to making music and works hard to create authentic music that touches listeners to the core.
“One thing I love about music is you get the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy,” Zone00 said.
“When you put something out, especially on the internet, you have a lasting impact in the
universe. If you do something great, it’s always there for the world to know about it.”

Zone00 is extremely interested in relationship building and he believes you never really do
anything by yourself. He values the importance of working with professionals and strives to raise
others up as he succeeds. “That’s one thing I admire about 50cent. He put individuals he
worked with in positions where they could be successful.” As the King of All Kings, Zone00 is
well on his way to reign over the Hip Hop kingdom.
