Learn everything you can about music publishing. My advice to any youngin’ who wants a career in the music industry. And believe me, Steve and I have both run up on dire consequences. Everyone has a choice no matter how dire the circumstances. The question is what can I do to be more on point and to be a better man than I was yesterday. What can the industry do better to promote true inclusion?ĭC: For me personally that is not the question. And if I can be a shining example to other young brothers and sisters out there, That’s the mission. But it gave me more resolve to know that I have the power to change the world with my actions and what I choose to do with my life. It was the week that George Floyd was murdered and everything was heating up across the country.

How did last year’s BLM movements affect you personally?ĭC: For me, it was surreal because I shot my first movie in the middle of cornfields in Nebraska. And a fine ass black girl with a big ole booty.
If Black culture is your superpower, what is your kryptonite?ĭC: The only kryptonite that can stop me is ME. It affected me in a negative way until I got to Atlanta Georgia and charcoal became chocolate to all these beautiful black women. They used to call me “skillet” and “blackie,” just the black kids. How has possessing the superpower of your Blackness helped you?ĭC: Throughout my young life I was ashamed that I was dark skinned because people would tease me. But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Having our career stopped in its tracks because of legal woes and the record company going bankrupt. Being taken advantage of in the music industry and trusting people who we should’ve never trusted.

Jay of the Philadelphia 76ers.ĭC: My mentors were a group of black women at Manual high school who nurtured my blackness and spirit. Larry Blackman from Cameo and as far as athletes David Thompson of the Denver Nuggets and Dr. Avis, my band instructor in high school, after that pretty much any famous drummer. I contacted our Al Bell because he knew how to work bass records and in a month and a half we were platinum. So when it came time to get a record deal because we created Whoop there it is we had allies. I dj’d at Magic city and because it was the most talked about club in the country every artist, star and athlete would come to the club and I got to know them all. Instantly I found myself immersed in the Genesis of what today is the Atlanta music scene. Steve moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1988 to attend the Art Institute of Atlanta and I moved to Atlanta one year shortly after. Then Steve and I continued to make rap music and get better over time. Also when I came back home from college for the summer we would get the band back together and do gigs all over the city until most of us grow apart. How did you break into the music industry?ĭC: I got into the industry by being a good DJ. I also was a member of the Bolt vibration choir at our high school along with Otis Preston another member of the band and original member of the Tag Team crew.
I desperately want to be a part of their band and badgered them for months till they relented. Steve and his friends had a band called the BIZNESS, and I thought that was the dopest thing ever.
