Triple Threat Justin "J Shoc" Reynolds visited from Fat Joe of Terror Squad at videoshoot

2011-07-15T11:48:00.000-07:00

Justin "J Shoc" Reynolds, the sunshine states' own triple threat, announces the long awaited release of his music video "Runaway". The song captures an innocent message that is sure to get across well to all the ladies while the video elaborates and has a futuristic appeal without seeming robotic. The energy on the set was well matched by J Shoc's enthusiasm and made it easier to get the job done.

Directed by Antwon Smith and produced by BlackOut Movement, J Shoc, was joined by many talented dancers and crew members to create the amazing footage. The young sensation, who is rumored to be signing to Terror Squad in the near future, found it as no surprise when Terror Squads own, Fat Joe, showed up on the set to make a guest appearance.

Decked out from head to toe in Rush Couture, J Shoc came to the set prepared to give it his all and add imagery to his music portfolio. Vocal coach Seth Riggs, known for working with greats such as Ray Charles, Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson, Cher, Kevin Kline, Tina Turner, and Diana Ross, has worked with J Shoc for some time and continues to be a cornerstone in his vocal development. J Shoc has also worked with several other vocal coaches in Los Angeles and Miami.

In addition to singing, J Shoc dances, acts and writes. Most notably his role in Seven Pounds, where he portrays a younger version of Will Smiths character, has brought him national attention on the acting level. J Shoc has also starred in a commercial for KFC and has held roles in several theatrical productions including "Tarzan 2".

His dance training includes Darren Henson, David Scott, Brice Vick, Fatima and Shane Sparks. J Shoc has danced background for Ciara, Omarion and Ashanti, to name a few. He also won the dance championship "Take It To The Ring" in 2003.

J Shoc also holds a First Degree Black Belt in Martial Arts and has trained with Steven Segal. "I relish performing, writing and acting", says J Shoc, "and I give 150% to everything I put my hands, heart and mind to. Overall I believe I'm on my way to doing something very special." And who can argue with that when he can show you better than he can tell you.

Young Money artist "Tyga" Steals "Snapbacks Back" from a 12 year old artist "Young Vishis"

2011-07-15T11:34:00.000-07:00

On June 10th, Durvel WIlson Sr. of Native Son Entertainment went about his usual promotional methods of posting new music from his artist to various sites and his friends on Facebook.

His newest promotional efforts was towards his son Durvel Wilson Jr. aka "Young Vishis" with his new promotional single "Snapbacks Back The Tupac Remix".

One of the Facebook pages he posted the song on was Young Money President "Mack Maine". About eighteen days after, to his suprise the song was STRAIGHT STOLEN and recorded by Young Money artist Tyga with a feature from Chris Brown, not Young Vishis.

The chorus was changed a little but the concept of doing it about Snapbacks hats is what they took from the 12 Yr Old artist. We are aware it is a remix to "Tupacs Back" by Meek Millz and Rick Ross, however the reason Tyga and Chris Brown are getting props for the song was because the concept was different (refering to snapback hats).

In speaking with Durvel Wilson Sr. he said "That's straight wrong, they stealing songs from a 12 yr old who takes the time to write his own material and promote himself.

Young Vishis stated "They could have at least asked me to get on my own song with them" but to jack my whole song that was wrong".

Durvel Sr. added, to make matters worst when we went back to Mack Maine facebook page everything else that was posted that day was still there, but our post with the song. What he didn't remember though is that my page will still say that I added a link to his page that day. So it was a dumb move removing it.

This isn't over at all, we won't stop until everyone knows how dirty they did my son/artist.

D.A.D: Documentary About Dads Set to Hit Festival Circuits Later This Year

2011-07-15T11:29:00.001-07:00

A Candid Look Inside Fatherhood Takes Center Stage in First -of-Its Kind Documentary

C. Mendez Productions, Shaniece Entertainment, and GoldenGirl FilmWorks Studios are proud to announce the world premiere of D.A.D: Documentary About Dads, a first-of-its-kind documentary providing unprecedented insight into the current state of fatherhood.

"These brave souls that shared their experiences in fatherhood will open more doors for others who allow fear to run them away from responsibility”, says T. Chynna Littlejohn of GoldenGirl FilmWorks Studios

D.A.D: Documentary About Dads follows the lives of 7 males (Koran, Danny, Richard, Andre, Franklin, Jason & Corry) from all walks of life candidly speaking on the current state of fatherhood in their own relationships. There is no stone unturned as this documentary delves into topics men rarely talk about publicly such as relationships, custody, and labor/delivery to the difficult topics of being labeled “deadbeat”, lacking of child support--emotionally and financially and more.

"By no means is this documentary focused on bashing men and fatherhood. As filmmakers, we wanted to give males the opportunity to be candid and upfront on their experiences or challenges and be a living testimony to younger fathers“, says executive producer Christina Mendez.

D.A.D aims to elevate the stories and relationships between fathers and their children as well as encourage more dialogue between males in similar situations. With support from local and national communities, D.A.D is bringing the subject of fatherhood to the forefront, uncensored and real.

Crystal Shaniece Roman of Shaniece Entertainment adds, "Good, bad or indifferent we gave men the open forum to express themselves on topics that they rarely get to address. We allowed them to tell their story and hear their side in regards to fatherhood."

D.A.D: “Documentary About Dads”, will be screened at a private NYC venue in August in conjunction with its official website launch and will also be submitted to various film festivals nationwide in 2011/2012.

Official Website:
www.DocAboutDads.com

About The Filmmakers:
Crystal Shaniece Roman ( Shaniece Entertainment), T. Chynna Littlejohn (GoldenGirl FilmWorks Studios), and Entertainment Personality Christina Mendez (C. Mendez Productions) began the journey of filming D.A.D organically. As three women sharing similar relationship highs and lows, these creative entrepreneurs collectively decided to showcase a story about men from the male perspective as their first joint venture in film making

Kimberly Rivers Roberts

2010-02-05T17:44:00.000-08:00

Kimberly Rivers Roberts and her Husband Scott Roberts are most known for the Documentary "Trouble The Water". On the day before Hurricane Katrina–just blocks away from the French Quarter but far from the New Orleans that most tourists knew–Kimberly Rivers Roberts, an aspiring rap artist, turned her new video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. "It's going to be a day to remember," Kim declares. As the hurricane began to rage and the floodwater fill their world and the screen, Kim and her husband Scott continued to film their harrowing retreat to higher ground and the dramatic rescues of friends and neighbors. The couple returned to the devastation of their neighborhood in New Orleans, only to be met by the appalling repeated failures of the government. But these self-described street hustlers become heroes, surviving the storm.

Seeing all the pain and suffering that was caused, upon there return they decided they wanted to make a difference. Kimberly Rivers Roberts partnered with Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation and started Troubled Waters, Awakening Minds. It's a non profit organization that focuses on individuals bound by substance abuse, which happens to be one of the most pressing challenges facing New Orleans' undeserved communities.

Kimberly Rivers Roberts is currently on the new HBO show "Treme". The series follows an ensemble cast of diverse characters three months following Hurricane Katrina. While most of the city's residents have relocated to Baton Rouge and Houston, many of the remaining residents now live in the "sliver by the river" (Treme) and are trying to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives amongst the devastation that continues to surround them. From chefs to musicians, each character has an inspirational (and often heart-breaking) story to tell about the events that took place in 2005 and how they are trying to rise above it all by rebuilding the city they love so much. Note: During its regularly scheduled season run, Treme airs new episodes on Sundays at 10pm ET on HBO (check local listings). The series can also be found on HBO on Demand.

On May 22nd Kimberly Rivers Roberts was recognized as Humanitarian of the Year by the undergroundgirlsofhiphop.com at the 2010 Female Hip Hop Honors Awards, for her support of her community and assistance through the storm.
She wants everyone to know that she is grateful for the support and ask that you stay aware of issues in New Orleans

ABOUT SUZANNA SAMONE aka FERRARI BARBIE:

Raised in the streets of Birmingham, Alabama, Suzanna Samone aka Ferrari Barbie, didn't believe rapping was her life’s first priority. Like many women, Suzanna found herself in an abusive relationship that almost claimed her life in 1997 when her then boyfriend crashed a vehicle, with her in it. The accident sent her to the hospital with a 30/70 percent chance she would come out of the surgery, and unclear if she would she ever walk again.

It was during her recovery that she spent all of her time listening to music, evaluating and studying the hip hop craft from other artists. Suzanna Samone felt there was a lack of message delivered in today’s lyrics, that the ladies of hip hop past like Queen Latifah, Queen Pen, MC Lyte, Sweet Tee and Yo-Yo shared. Suzanna Samone picked up a pen and pad and started writing lyrics and recording with friend and rap artist/Producer "Attitude" of Warner Brothers Records. Today she is an artist, thanking Hip Hop that she survived a life threatening accident.

Since then Suzanna Samone has been on the remix of Slip N Slide artist Swazy Baby 's "Half of it". In tthe studio with acclaimed producer Triple A who has produced for Jim Jones, Janet Jackson, Shanice, T-Pain and more. Suzanna Samone also recently won "Best Female Artist in Birmingham" in the Lifes Great Music Awards.

Suzanna Samone is currently scheduling her College Tour and is looking forward to performing in Atlanta and Alabama in the near future.

10 yrs old Rap artist Young Vishis, says I'm just bringing Jay-Zs' words to life.

2009-09-20T17:52:00.005-07:00

York, PA - September 02, 2009 - 10 year old Durvel Wilson Jr. (Young Vishis), from York, PA has unique distinctions - He has been entering freestyle battles since he was 8 years old.

His name? Young Vishis, given to him by a hip hop artist at the freestyle battles. Honestly Young Vishis knew he wanted to do this before his parents could realize he was serious. For Young Vishis it started when he said "Mom, Dad I am going to do a show in the living room and I am going to have a big turn out." Young Vishis hand wrote flyer's and passed them out to all his moms friends, family and clients. His mother, Marisa Shockley-Wilson said, "I just came downstairs and my living room was full with people. He performed an 1 hour long show and included his dancers to fill time."

Young Vishis was always around the music. His mom, Marisa and two aunt's Bridget and Shavon Shockley had a singing group named "Beneath The Surface", that was going to be the R&B group signed to Bad Boy Entertainment before the group "Total". However, due to contract disagreements the deal never went through. His dad Durvel Wilson Sr., the head of Native Son Records has always been on the management side of the music, which kept Young Vishis around producers, artist or entertainers all the time. Young Vishis, early on understood how to dedicate his time to his music and still have time for school and playing cornerback for his football team "The York City Boys Club". They have been undefeated and won the championship every year that he has played on the team. He dedicates his work ethic on the field to his dad and his uncle Shamar Mosely, who was one of York Highs top football players, in there perspective years.

Ask Young Vishis and he will tell you "selling records isn't hard for me, I have a young street team that I use, they consist of my school friends, neighborhood associates and family members. The same team that I include in my shows, practices, sales and audience, go out with my CD sell them for $5.00 and I keep $3.00 so we can get more Cd's. After all who wouldn't buy from a kid, he explains." Young Vishis has goals to hire young street teems all over the east coast to promote his music. When it comes to his career Native Son guides him, but he sets up his own practices, studio time and most recently started to record himself.

When watching him on stage you have to marvel at how comfortable he looks up there. He plays to the audience and just has fun. He dances, freestyles and involves the audience with no coaching at all. When he entered his first talent show, it was obvious that he was way past that stage. His current goal is performing at car shows, events centers and charity events. He is also working on a Christmas Boys & Girls club tour on the east coast. Young Vishis has started his acting career and is currently shooting for an independent film and looking forward to more film and TV roles.

Jay Z referred to him in "Backstage" as the "little boy at home, eating cereal, written rhymes, trying to be better than me!. He's authentic and built for this game.

Young Vishis is currently in the studio finishing his mixtape, which will be hosted by Slip N Slide Dj 5053. He promises that everyone of all ages will be able to listen to this CD and play it anywhere.

Grammy Award Winning Artist/Author Queen Pen & Elected Officials Join Together to Appeal for Tougher Domestic Violence Legislation

2009-09-20T17:48:00.001-07:00

NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 5, 2009 – The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services has issued a report that lists 58% of all female homicide victims are at the hands of domestic violence. With the rate of abuse increasing in the United States, victim and female rapper Queen Pen is taking a stand for battered women and asking the NYC community and leaders for support and change at a press conference Friday, January 16th. The press conference will be lead by Queen Pen, NY Senator Eric Adams, and Persia (Vh1's White Rapper Show), at the Denim Lounge (1223 Bedford Ave) in Brooklyn at 4pm.

In a press release issued by the NYS DCJS, 55% of female homicides are directly linked to a domestic incident, a story Lynise Walters aka Queen Pen knows all too well. After being hospitalized in January and beat unconscious, merely being a survivor of domestic abuse is not enough for Queen Pen. Several run-ins with an ex-boyfriend proved to Walters that she couldn't handle the abuse on her own and contacted police in June 2008. "It took 31 minutes for police to respond to a 911 call," Walters said after she spotted her attacker outside of her home days
after a brawl between the two. "If my life is taken away or I can't provide for my children, who's going to take care of them?" said Pen, whose fundraising and mentoring work with victims was commended by Gov. David Paterson.

Queen Pen declares to "Make a change with domestic violence victims and the legislation" through her organization
Silent Cries.

At 4pm, Walters, New York Senator Eric Adams, Assembly Member Hakeem Jeffries, Executive Vice President of the New York Board of Rabbis-Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Former New York Knicks Player & Activist John Starks, Persia from The White Rapper show, and Nefu Da Don will join together in a press conference to rally against domestic violence and ask the New York community for change. Hip Hop Performer Lil Mama, The Hudson-King Foundation and Greg King, (father of Hudson's nephew, Julian King) are also a special invited guests to the January
press conference on domestic violence.

Many of Pen's supporters have witnessed firsthand the terrors of domestic violence. Female emcee hopeful Persia (VH1's White Rapper Show) is now working with Queen Pen to advocate harsh domestic violence punishment against assailants in domestic cases after she was arrested for gun possession to protect her mother, and 6-month old child from an estranged ex. "I was involved in an abusive relationship which led to him trying to kill me," Persia says. "I felt I had no choice but to protect myself." Terrified for her family's safety, Persia acquired an unregistered
loaded weapon that resulted in her arrest after a routine traffic stop. "I'm advocating in hopes that the laws can be in favor to the abused and we won't have to fear for our lives any longer." Queen Pen hopes this press conference will rally attention to the cause and push for more legislation in domestic violence cases.

Persia's Story

2009-09-20T17:46:00.000-07:00

December 10, 2008---Ulster County, NY. Persia was the biggest sensation on VH1's 2006 reality series, "The White Rapper Show." Her only task was battling for the winner's spot. When she was eliminated leaving behind two contestants, her fan-base declared the reality show over. But in the real world, behind closed doors, the Far Rock, NY native was battling for her life. Entangled in an ongoing domestic dispute with her estranged exboyfriend who continuously threatened her life and the life of her family including her mother and six-month old daughter---without the help of law enforcement, Persia protected herself the best way she knew how.

Later that year, Persia (legal name Rachel Murcerino) was pulled over during a routine traffic stop, when officers searched her vehicle and a found a loaded weapon under her front seat. Now facing a three-and-half year prison sentence instead of the six-months promised by her lawyer if she pled guilty, she is asking for her fans' support once again in an attempt to get her sentence reduced.

"I was involved in an abusive relationship which led to him trying to kill me. I felt I had no choice but to protect myself," Persia said. Adding salt to an open wound, her assailant was also a police informant, leaving her feeling hopeless and even more vulnerable to his violent attacks.

According to the American Institute on Domestic Violence, "domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women." Fearing for her safety, she left the abusive relationship only to be stalked by her assailant who continued to threaten her and her family's lives. The torment went so far as to him boyfriend pouring gasoline besides her mother's house as a warning if she did not return to him causing her mother to have a heart attack. He was also reported to have called the VH1 network and threatened to expose the winner of the "The White Rapper show" in order
to receive money from them.

"I went into hiding but honestly, who can live like that? Someone I know bought me a gun so that I could get from my front door to my car with[out] being attacked or even killed," Persia stated. According to the American Bar Association, nearly two-thirds of females in the United States were killed with a firearm by their domestic partner or husband in 2002.

Now, after almost two years since her legal encounter, instead of heading to the studio to work on her debut album after inking with a major record label, she is scheduled to appear at the Kingston Court House on December 12, 2008 for sentencing in Ulster County, NY for gun possession.

She is asking her fans and concerned citizens to fax letters or write to the District Attorney's office requesting that her sentence be reduced taking into consideration she is a victim of domestic violence, a single mother of a six-month old daughter with no priors trying to protect herself and her.

KURUPT & ROSCOE NY MEDIA DAY & APPEARANCE ON SNOOP'S VH1'S STORYTELLERS

2009-09-20T17:45:00.004-07:00

ATLANTA, September 27, 2008—West coast super indie High Powered Entertainment and Tres Day Publicity announces Philafornia's favorite siblings; Kurupt and Roscoe's official New York "Frank and Jess Story" Media Day on Friday, October 3, 2008 for Print and DVD Press from 10am-5pm at the W Hotel Court at 130 East 39th Street New York, New York 10016. Contact Trea Day Management & Publicity or Ernest Jackson, MNS Media for Media Credentials.

On October 2nd at 8pm, 4th at 2pm and 6th at 5am EST, VH1 will air Storytellers with Snoop Dogg. The one-hour episode will treat fans to a unique experience as Snoop performs songs from his critically acclaimed album Ego Trippin' in addition to past hits featuring performances by Doug E. Fresh, Charlie Wilson, Too Short, Mistah FAB and none other than Kurupt.

The Frank and Jess Story hits stores, on November 11th. Distributed by Koch and released by High Powered Entertainment, the new LP is a raucous ride that takes listeners on a lyrical conquest through the day-to-day antics of the two well-respected and recognized rappers from both coasts. Produced by John "J" Silva, the lead single "Break it Down Like" stars 2008 VH1 Hip Hop Honors Honoree Too Short.

Named after notorious brothers, American outlaws Frank and Jesse James, The Frank and Jess Story delivers the sonic versatility of seasoned lyricists. Younger brother Roscoe shines with the self-assurance of an artist at the top of his game, while Big Brother Kurupt brandished his sharp, bravado-infused vernacular and wit. The combination of Kurupt's tongue twisting complexity and Roscoe's rebelliously eager flow is not to be overlooked.

Other Frank and Jess Story tracks like "I Miss U" and the strip-teaser "Give Me a Lapdance," offer a melodic edge, while hood anthems "All I Need" and "Hate on Me" with Kokane, boast a contagious bounce meshed with the verbal voracity associated with the duo.

Young Vishis

2009-09-20T17:45:00.003-07:00

Young Vishis Bio:

His name? Young Vishis, given to him by a hip hop artist at the freestyle battles. Honestly Young Vishis knew he wanted to do this before his parents could realize he was serious. For Young Vishis it started when he said "Mom, Dad I am going to do a show in the living room and I am going to have a big turn out." Young Vishis hand wrote flyer's and passed them out to all his moms friends, family and clients. His mother, Marisa Shockley-Wilson said, "I just came downstairs and my living room was full with people. He performed an 1 hour long show and included his dancers to fill time."

Young Vishis was always around the music. His mom, Marisa and two aunt's Bridget and Shavon Shockley had a singing group named "Beneath The Surface", that was going to be the R&B group signed to Bad Boy Entertainment before the group "Total". However, due to contract disagreements the deal never went through. His dad Durvel Wilson Sr., the head of Native Son Records has always been on the management side of the music, which kept Young Vishis around producers, artist or entertainers all the time. Young Vishis, early on understood how to dedicate his time to his music and still have time for school and playing cornerback for his football team "The York City Boys Club". They have been undefeated and won the championship every year that he has played on the team. He dedicates his work ethic on the field to his dad and his uncle Shamar Mosely, who was one of York Highs top football players, in there perspective years.

Ask Young Vishis and he will tell you "selling records isn't hard for me, I have a young street team that I use, they consist of my school friends, neighborhood associates and family members. The same team that I include in my shows, practices, sales and audience, go out with my CD sell them for $5.00 and I keep $3.00 so we can get more Cd's. After all who wouldn't buy from a kid, he explains." Young Vishis has goals to hire young street teems all over the east coast to promote his music. When it comes to his career Native Son guides him, but he sets up his own practices, studio time and most recently started to record himself.

When watching him on stage you have to marvel at how comfortable he looks up there. He plays to the audience and just has fun. He dances, freestyles and involves the audience with no coaching at all. When he entered his first talent show, it was obvious that he was way past that stage. His current goal is performing at car shows, events centers and charity events. He is also working on a Christmas Boys & Girls club tour on the east coast. Young Vishis has started his acting career and is currently shooting for an independent film and looking forward to more film and TV roles.

Jay Z referred to him in "Backstage" as the "little boy at home, eating cereal, written rhymes, trying to be better than me!. He's authentic and built for this game.

Young Vishis is currently in the studio finishing his mixtape, which will be hosted by Slip N Slide Dj 5053. He promises that everyone of all ages will be able to listen to this CD and play it anywhere.
