If you‟re a late 80‟s baby like myself, the name MC Lyte
may sound like a brand of light bulb or sugar-free soda
brand to you. But, if you‟re a true fan of hip-hop you
know all about the first solo female rapper to release a
full album. As a fan of music, I believe that in order to
be a great MC, you must appeal to your fans. With mu-
sic, it‟s hard to determine who‟s the greatest because
someone may just be great during their era. Afros and
tye dye shirts were hip during the 70‟s, in 2011, not so
much. In the same respect, Mc Lyte was then, therefore
Nicki Minaj is now. Walk with me…..
The hard core story telling lyrics of Brooklyn's small
town hero resembled a different kind of rap. Mc Lyte
defined hip-hop. She didn‟t let it define her. She told a
story about who she was and clearly illustrated a pic-
ture of what hip-hop was and how it was used.
As the saying goes, “history often repeats itself.” In a
new generation of the same things happening, Nicki
Minaj illustrates the commercial aspect and watered
down view of hip hop. Her whimsy metaphors and lyrical
banter makes her music fun to listen despite everything
going on in the world. Although it doesn‟t give you the
real, it allows you to feel like everything is going to be
okay. Whether or not Mc Lyte is better or whether Nicki
Minaj is, is simply how you view life. You be the judge.
"Fall Back" is what he screamed in 2006 when he first hit the SC music scene. The now, 23 year old rapper/song writer WildChildDaSun feels as if he has a point to prove! "Hungry" for success Wildchild was ready to eat any form of competition that got in his way. So determined to make his mark he and a partner decided to create their own label called EnvyMe Ent. In 2009 they released their first project entitled "Childs Play" which took the city of Orangeburg by sur-prise! Born In Feb, 1988 as Titus Tj Mclune in Orangeburg SC, he fell in love with music at the age of 10! Grind, lyrics, authenticate, and crea-tiveness all best describes Wildchild as an artist but other than that, the only word that describes him as a
rapper is WildChildDaSun!

Let us know a little about who you are and where
you‟re from.
My name is Barron Rivers, I am a Charleston na-tive who grew up on James Island, traveling back
and forth from Charleston to New York throughout my childhood. I graduated from James Island High
School and went on to South Carolina State Univer-sity where I graduated with a BS in Marketing and
concentration in Business Administration. I own several businesses in Charleston: Stop the
Violence South Inc., Fo Sho Ink SMS Tax Services
and Fo Sho Recordz.
Tell us a little more about your non profit organiza-
tion Stop the Violence South.
Stop the Violence South came about through my
record label, Fo Sho Recordz. We realized that when kids were coming into the studio most of the
things they talked about had violent content. As the CEO, I realized that we could make a difference
through music with the kids. When they came in to record, we tried to redirect what they were saying
without them using violence, profanity, or degrad-
ing anyone to get their point across.
Initially, did these efforts prove to be successful?
For the most part we were able to change those who were looking to make world music or should I
say music that anyone could listen to, but because others were paying customers we couldn‟t really
make them change what they felt about “Keeping it Real to the Streets”. With that being the case, we
decided to do a series of community events where we would involve local talent around Charleston in
an environment we could manage how they deliv-ered their song, dance, poetry, etc.. We made this
the number one on our list of requirements to be a
part of Stop the Violence Sunday‟s. .
When did you start Stop the Violence South?
Spring of 2007 after hearing about Mayor Sumney
being shot at in Gas Lite Square.
Who are some of the people or other organizations
that you have gained support from?
We teamed up with the mayor‟s office, local city officials, churches and we started going into the
schools doing a music therapy program and added it to the curriculum. We used basic concepts and
tied it in. We had eight students at Greg Mathis High School and ten at James Island High School
who were at risk. Out of all the kids that partici-pated, we had every person graduate and doing
better within the school system.
What improvements have you seen in the
community as a result of Stop the Violence South?
We have seen a lot of improvements. Charleston was rated number seven in the nation for most
violent crimes. In checking a few months ago, Charleston is now rated number 67. We cannot
attribute all of that to Stop the Violence South, but we know we played a part in it. Organizations like
My Sister‟s House, Zonta International, The Jewish Women‟s Society and Crisis Ministries have played
an enormous part in the decline in violence. Domestic Violence in Charleston has also decline
from number one in the nation.
Who do you credit for the success of your organiza-
tion to?
The biggest people who made a difference are the youth. We have seen a lot of success stories, a lot
of graduations, a lot of people who normally would-n‟t get jobs are now working and people who were
labeled thugs now talk to their peers about doing the right thing, while taking responsibility for their
communities.
What is the objective of Stop the Violence South?
To combat violence via music therapy. But the
main objective is to bring the entire community together just to talk about the things that are going
on in our communities, not necessarily violence.
Who is your target audience?
Men and women, from ages 12- 35 years of age. It appears that most of time it‟s the men that are out
there doing violent crimes but when we speak
about domestic violence, it‟s the women on the
other side that are receiving it. But, violence does-
n‟t have a color, it doesn‟t have an age.
Is it hard getting people to explain stories about
violence initially?
Yes, it‟s very hard. The first thing you have to do is trust. That‟s why we try to do these events so when
we‟re sitting [at an event] and a speaker is talking about something specific, we don‟t want to put you
in a situation to where we‟re pointing you out, but
to allow you to feel like you can relate.
If anybody wants to contact you for more
information where should they go?
www.StopTheViolenceSouth.com
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I would like to add that Stop the Violence South
wants to thank everybody in the community that
has reached out one way or another to support the
movement: the donations, the words of encourage-
ment, the thumbs up when they see our vehicle
riding by, all the community leaders that have
been involved, GeeChee One, all the local radio
stations and newspapers. We want to give a big
shoutout to all the local Artist and those involved in
the Performing arts, for participating and becoming
a part of the mission/family.

10 Ways to Know If She's Interested
By: Tionyo “Mz. Blaque Diamond” Keesley
CEO of Diamond Enterpri$ez, LLC
Many men in this world may be easily confused by a women. It's often
misinterpreted when a women is actually interested in a man if they're
giving off mixed signals. Some women's only give signs to make the
time pass by during a long wait. Some women's might just want to
have a conversation for that present point in time. I am about to pro-
vide you men with ten ways to know if a woman is interested in y'all, so
guys take notes.
Sign 1: Gives you a second glance.
At any given time or place, a woman can be approached but is she actu-
ally interested from the first sight. The first way a guy will know if she's
interested is if she gives him that second glance. This means that she
sees him as eye catching and worth looking at. You better believe if
there isn't a second look, then you‟re far from her mind.
Sign 2: Gives you eye contact and not a blank stare.
Secondly, if a woman is approached and she gives you eye contact with
a smirk or smile and not a blank stare, she's initially interested. If you're
on the receiving end of a blank stare, then walk away to just spare your
feelings because she may say something you really might not like.
Sign 3: Allows the conversation to continue within arms length.
Third on the list, if she allows you to continue to be in her personal
space, you're in a good position. If not, you may want to back up slowly
and save your dignity. Woman's can break a guy‟s spirit with an ex-
treme shut down. It makes a guy want to be disrespectful sometimes if
caught off guard. So beware of a bitter woman.
Sign 4: Laughs at corny jokes.
After you've gotten past the personal boundary stage, you may proceed
to carry on the conversation. Try making some sort of corny jokes. If
she laughs then, you have her attention. You're doing good at that
point, keep going. Beware to make sure your not sounding dumb, be-
cause then you will get ignored.
Sign 5: Carrying an intelligent conversation with you.
After the corny ice-breakers, you may start having an intellectual conver-
sation. This will actually reveal whether or not you both are on the same
level of maturity. If the conversation flows smoothly, then you‟re on the
right track as desired. She should still be smiling at you at that
moment.
Signs 6: Answers personal questions.
So now it's time to get more serious and on a personal level. If she‟s
reluctant to follow through with the direction of the conversation, then
your probably about to hit a brick wall and should continue with the
small talk instead. But if that does not happen, then carry on with get-
ting to know each other. Because it seems that she's still interested.
LOL!
Sign 7: Not answering the cell phone or texts messages in your pres-
ence.
Well, it looks like you're doing pretty well if you‟re on number seven.
You have only a few more to go. At stage seven, if you noticed that
she's not paying attention to her phone calls or text messages then,
you're over half way to home base. Reason for that is because her at-
tention is only on you.
Sign 8: Ignores other advances.
One thing that you may want to do is to pay attention whether or not her
eyes aren't following what‟s going on in her surrounding. If she's looking
around you may want to try harder at keeping her focused on you. Why
is that you ask? Because if she looking around and someone else takes
advantage of the opportunity to move into your spot, it's a wrap. She
may see someone else and leave you standing there looking dumb
founded.
Sign 9: Correct phone number to contact her.
Time is whining down, you may want to ask for her phone number be-
fore you out stay your welcome. If you're given the number without has-
sle or hesitations, then you're almost home. But if there's an issue,
then you just might get the wrong number. Therefore you'll be getting a
hug, a goodbye at the end of the night and she'll keep it moving on to
the next one.
Sign 10: Answers the phone when you call.
Okay, you're at the end of your journey of seeing if she's interested or
not? Now is the moment of truth, call the number that you were given.
If the person that you spent time trying to get to know answers the
phone, you've won the lottery. The following is super important. If you
asked to see her again after the phone conversation and she says yes,
then you're in. She's definitely interested in you. You have hit a home
run. But if she doesn't, then it‟s back to the drawing board. Because
she wasn't really interested. Sorry love, try again. Pay attention to the
signs and you shouldn‟t end up disappointed in the long run. Best of
luck on finding Miss Right!

Owner: Shontea Beaufort
Business: KKD Bail Bonds and Insurance Agency. “The One Stop Shop”
Location: 2176 Savannah Highway suite 120 Charleston SC 29414
Office Hours: Monday- Friday 9:30am-4pm
How did you come up with the name KDD Bailsbonds?
Well KKD is actually my kids name. My oldest is Kevion, My middle is KeiAsia, and my young-
est is Demetria. So this is their business I am building now for them.
How long have you been a bondsman?
I've been a bondsman for 2 years now and i absolutely LOVE IT...I wouldn't trade it for any-
thing.
What does your slogan mean?
Our slogan is "The One Stop Shop" You can come here and get basically any and everything.
We do Insurance all types from auto, home, life, supplemental, motorcycle and the list goes
on.
Are you the only owner?
We have 2 owners here at KKD Bail Bonds. It‟s myself and my husband Demetric Beaufort.
What made you decide to start your bonding service?
Well I had no intentions of ever doing bonds. I didn't even know a bondsman personally before
I started. I have been a Property & Casualty insurance agent for over 9 years but I was only
into the Life, Health, and Accident part of insurance. I started working with Allstate doing the
workplace going out to different business offering them supplemental insurance. After that I
got an offer to work at one of the local Allstate offices. I needed my P&C license which I didn't
have. I accepted the offer and they gave me 1 month to get my P&C license which is called
Property and Casualty. I took the classes and when I tell you that was
the longest and most boring class ever of my life! While in the class I ask the instructor what
all can you do with having this P&C license, he told me a list of things and a bondsman was
one. So I told myself that when I take and pass the state exam for the P&C that I was going to
look further into becoming a bondsman as well; I still didn't want to do it. Just wanted to have
the license because like I stated that class was nothing I would ever want to take again in life!
After about 6 months of working at Allstate the bondsman license was on my mind a lot, so I
did my research looked in further into it and now 2 years later HERE I AM! LOL...
I did leave the Allstate office because being a bondsman you have to flexible and ready when-
ever you get a call. I couldn't do that while being in an office from 8:30a.m.-5 everyday. How-
ever I'm still doing supplemental for Allstate, so i didn't give it up completely.
With your busy schedule do you have time for anything else?
You would think being a bondsman and an Insurance agent that my hands would be FULL
right? No way, my middle name is hustler....lol! You would never guess my other business....I'm
a Passion Consultant with Passion Parties.
What exactly is a Passion Party?
For those of you that don't know what a Passion Party is its an in home romance party. I sell
everything from mild to wild products. We are designed to enhance relationships. I've been
with Passion Parties for 4 years and I must say its very interesting and I truly love the people
that i meet while hosting parties for them. The best part about being a consultant with Passion
Parties is that we takes annual trips to VEGAS...now how fun is that?? If you would like to
check out what I have with Passion Parties visit my website www.slipperysheets.com
What makes your bonding company different from others?
With any business, it the person that runs the business that has to be different. With me I'm a
peoples person so I can deal with just about any and everyone one. Plus, you have to treat
others the way you want to be treated. Just because your bonding someone out of the jail and
no matter what the situation may have been to why they got arrested, you have to be kind
when offering your service because your name is everything.
As a black women , do you feel that you have to or had to fight extra barriers in doing this type
of business?
I thought at first that i would have to fight harder being black and a female....but actually this
is a great business for females.
The guys seems to respect you a lot more then some of the male bondsman and the females
look up to you. I have to run cases for some male bondsman because they can't get through to
some of their people...but hey like i said its all about RESPECT!
Do you have a mentor or someone that you look up to in your line of work?
I don't have any mentors in this business because like I said before I didn't know anyone in
this business but I've met some great ones while working...Mrs. Ann And Tisha Simmons from
A King Bail, of course Carlos Dunlap, and my favorite Mr. Leroy from Home Quick Bails.
For those who may be interested in getting in the business, can you describe a average day in
the life of Shontea Beaufort?
My average day as a bail bondsman would be me getting up and heading to my office, there's
always something to do there. Follow up with your people to make sure they're on top of every-
thing as far as court & marketing yourself no matter if you've been in the business 20 years,
you have to be out there. Going to the jail all day long (which is not bad because your making
money). Its a lot in the day of a bondsman. Now I'm trying to separate the 2 bondsman, and
being home more. At first your always on the go and it seems like your day never ends, so now
when I leave the office all my paperwork stays behind and when I‟m home I'm HOME...unless i
get a bond call. LOL...but I don't do calls past 10pm unless its someone that I‟ve bonded out
before.
Whats the best advice you can give to a female interested in also making this a future career?
The advice that I would give a women who may want to start this type of business is to do lots
of research before coming in, find good companies that will appoint you, and don't just do it
because you think your going to make a lot of money because TRUST me you can also lose a
lot as well in the business. I have a very loving and supportive husband that backs me in all I
do so the other advice will be having support from your partner. But the best advice that I can
give on it is to PRAY trust and believe in GOD and put him first in all you do! See you at the
TOP sisters!

My profound love for people puts me in the state of mind I am in right
now. I wouldn‟t disregard you any less of a human because of your skin
tones, status, how you make your living or where you lay your head.
When it is all said and done, if the exact same knife, positioned at pre-
cisely different angles ran across your skin as well as mine, we would all
bleed the same color blood; red. My open-mindedness allows me to
have a love for things that the average person would not, as well as
make connections between them. That strong connection is music and
history. Often times we hear the infamous saying “history repeats itself.”
By no means am I historian, but I know enough to say that I am smarter
than the average 5th grader or even so I can make it into final jeopardy.
It is not my intentions to rejuvenate or originate a conspiracy theory. If
history doesn‟t repeat itself, we definitely see correlations in events
from the past to the present.
Two of my favorite famous people from an extensive list are Christopher
Wallace aka Notorious Big aka Biggie Smalls aka the Black Frank White
aka Big Poppa and Gauis Julius Caesar bka Julius Caesar. Why did I
select a modern day rapper and an ancient Roman leader? These two
men displayed outstanding greatness in the short time they live on this
earth. One last roamed the earth thousands of years ago; one last
roamed the earth about 14 years ago. I will tell you about each of these
individuals. The similarities between these two include a strong single
mother raising a son, the harsh realities of their environment, highly
talented, a circle of devious friends, and assassinations.
Both Knew They Would Die
Both Biggie and Caesar felt that death was imminent in their paths of
life they chose.
Biggie was considered to be involved in the death of Tupac Shakur.
Caesar knew he had many enemies that he had made while pursuing
his political career.
Connection within circle with Murder
Both Biggie and Caesar had some links to people within their inner cir-
cle at one point in time in their lives with their death.
The death of Caesar by the members of the Liberators happened to be
senators and politicians that Caesar had either personally pardoned
from crimes or helped them advance in the political arena.
Many people feel that Puffy Combs had something to do with the mur-
der of Biggie Smalls, while it is said that Biggie‟s death was a direct
orders of Suge Knight, CEO of Deathrow, confidant of Tupac Shakur.
Effects of Death
The deaths of both Biggie and Caesar had an effect on its followers.
The death of Caesar brought about a series of civil war in Rome. A close
friend married his lover Cleopatra.
The death of Biggie Smalls was fifteen days before the scheduled re-
lease of his album Life After Death, the album hit #1 on the Billboard
200 Charts and was certified diamond, the highest certification for a
solo hip hop album.
Biggie
Unarguably and undeniably my favorite modern day male rapper is
Christopher George Latore Wallace. The love that I have for this man‟s
talent is in the same bracket of love for my southern foods and writing. I
can remember that day as if it was yesterday when he was assassi-
nated. I was sitting in my dorm hallway with my fellow Charlestonians
playing spades. All a sudden someone walked in and said, “Man he
dead man. Biggie dead.”
Pure brilliance. There is no other way to describe the likes of the legend
born on May 21, 1972. Biggie was known for making the voice of East
Coast rap to be heard in the times where the West Coast dominated the
rap game. The only child to a single Jamaican mother who stressed the
importance of education because she was a preschool teacher was
raised in Brooklyn, New York. His father was a welder and a Jamaican
politician, who left the family when Biggie was two years
old. Irregardless of her strong efforts to make something for her child,
no matter how hard she tried she could not take him away from the
streets. The streets were his home while his mother worked two jobs to
support him and what made him into the supreme lyricist as we know
him today. Penned the name “Biggie” because of his size won a lot of
awards in English.
He started selling drugs at the age of twelve, dropped out of school at
age seventeen and started building his criminal rap sheet. He was first
arrested with a weapon charged, which gave him five years probation. A
year later he was arrested in North Carolina on crack charges. He spent
approximately 9 months in jail. By this time, Biggie had been rapping for
years. After he was released from jail, he made a demo. His intentions
of the demo were to display his talents. His demo tape ended up in the
hands of DJ Mister Cee who played the demo tape, it ended up in the
hands of the editor of The Source Magazine. Biggie was featured in a
column in The Source for unsigned artists. Record producer Sean Puffy
Combs heard the demo, and had a meeting with Biggie. He was immedi-
ately given a deal and feature on his label mates albums. Biggie felt he
made it, only to discover that Sean Combs was fired from Uptown re-
cords. Combs created his own label Bad Boys and kept it moving. While
recording his album Biggie‟s daughter was born. He had to support his
GeeChee One Magazine Volume VI Issue IV www.geecheeone.com Page 11
child, so he hustled. Combs found out about this and made Biggie
stop.
Biggie continued to appear on his label mates‟ records, in August
1994, Biggie married Faith Evans after meeting her on a photo
shoot. Four days later the single Juicy debuted. Followed by the re-
lease of the album Ready to Die, this album is certified four times
platinum. More success continued to follow Biggie. The first thing he
did was to put his entourage aboard. Junior MAFIA debut al-
bum Conspiracywas released about a year after Biggies album. The
group included Lil‟Kim, who eventually became Biggie‟s lover and Lil‟
Cease. With his continued success, came problems. Biggie was in
the center of one of the most noted rivalries in hip hop; East Coast vs.
West Coast. Biggie didn‟t know what Beef would amount to. Biggie
and his entourage were believed to be involved in the robbery and
shooting of Tupac Shakur in a recording studio where at that time
Biggie and his entourage were present. They denied having part in the
incident. This created a deadly rival between Biggie‟s label Bad Boys
Records and Shakur‟s label Death Row.
Though made rich and famous, Biggie still has a few run ins with the
law, but persevered. Shakur released the infamous Hit „Em Up song
that dissed Biggie. The songs claimed that Shakur had relations with
Biggie‟s wife and accused the rapper of biting his style. On September
7, 1996 Shakur was fatally injured in a drive-by shooting in Las Ve-
gas, Nevada. He died six days later from the gunshot wounds. Again
rumors surfaced that Biggie was involved in Shakur‟s murder. Biggie
denied the allegations. It was said Biggie cried upon hearing about
the death of Shakur.
Faith Evans gave birth to Biggie‟s son Christopher Wallace, Jr. Biggie
was recording his second album Life After Death and was involved in
a car accident that shattered his left leg; he was in a wheelchair for a
period of time. That eventually forced Biggie to use a cane. Biggie
became fearful for his life, so he hired more security. On March 8,
1997 Biggie was booed by the audience at the Soul Train Music
Awards in Los Angeles. Immediately following the awards show, Biggie
went to an after party at the Petersen Automotive Museum. About
12:30 am on March 9, 1997, Biggie left the party with his entourage
after the party was shut down due to overcrowding. Biggie was travel-
ing with his entourage in GMC Suburbans. Fifteen minutes later, Big-
gie‟s truck stopped at a red light near the museum, a black Chevy
Impala SS pulled up by Biggie‟s truck and fired. Four bullets hit Biggie
in the chest from the 9mm. Biggie was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medi-
cal Center and was pronounced dead about 1:15 am. Even posthu-
mously he still holds his own.
Caesar
His complete name was Gauis Julius Caesar. He was born July 13,
100 BC, an infinite ruler of the Roman military and political leader
whose fierce tactics made a name and an image for Rome as we
know it today. With Caesar‟s victories in times of civil wars, he was
considered the undisputed master of the Roman world. He completed
his greatness when he entered the political arena and extensively
reformed both the Roman society and government. Though he did
great things, they prayed for his downfall.
Caesar was born in Rome to a well-known upper class family. Caesar
was named after his father, a Roman magistrate. His mother was a
strict, highly respectable and intelligent woman, who raised her son
on her own, because her husband traveled a lot and his unfortunate
death when Caesar was 16 years old. As a young boy, he lived in a
meek house in and learned to speak several languages. At age 20
Caesar was already married to a local who was the daughter of the
dictator that had a personal vendetta against Caesar‟s favorite uncle
through marriage. Caesar was told to divorce his wife, he refused
instead he fled Rome to hide. His family and friends saved him from
death. He eventually received a pardon from his father in law and
joined the military.

Who is Port Baby?
Port Baby is a 24-year-old handsome, smooth, sporty individual. Port Baby comes
from a caring single parent home. Port Baby came from the gutta, he didn’t always
have. He had to go out and get a lot of stuff the wrong way but he stayed strong thru
the struggle. If you were to go out and ask anybody about Port Baby they would say,
“dawg real,” and I’m one of a kind. I have a way with the ladies.
Who gave you the name Port Baby?
My homeboy Black, he’s locked up right now doing 15 years. It was because of my
originality and I was representing for the chuck so he just named me Port Baby. It was
a nickname and I just stuck with it.
What part of the “Port City” are you from?
I’m from Downtown Charleston, born and raised. I’ve lived everywhere and gotten
respect from everywhere downtown. Third Avenue or Sunny Side, that’s where I’ll be.
How long have you been rapping?
For a long time, I always had a passion for music, so probably since I was about five
or six.
How did you start rapping?
I’ve always watched MJ and Tupac growing up. I just wanted to be in the mix. I didn’t
know how to sing so rapping was the next best thing.
Why do you think people are just now giving you the recognition you deserve?
I started taking it a lot more serious, people see I’m actually trying to take it some-
where. I started peeping how serious the game was, so I got a little more interested in
it.
You’ve grown a lot in the music scene, and proved to no longer be a “baby” when it
comes to rapping, do you consider changing your name?
Nah, I’m not going to change my name, the meaning will always be relevant. I’m still
a baby of the city. My mama birthed me here so I’m still a baby of the “Port City.”
When your name is mentioned amongst some of Charleston’s top artist, how does that
make u feel?
It makes me feel unsatisfied but more appreciative because for a person to have my
name up in rank, that lets me know I’m being observed and people like what I have
going on. I appreciate them for lending me their time.
How did you come up with the concept for your hit single, that’s taking off right now,
called “Sporty,” ?
I’m an old-spirited guy and I listen to a lot of old guys. When my uncles and older
cousins would break out with their Adidas windbreakers I use to always hear them say
“You look real sporty.” Its always been a relevant word so I thought I could bring it
back, it was real catchy.
How would you define the term sporty?
It’s not all about fashion, it’s more of a lifestyle. From the way I talk to the way I
dress, to my swag, everything. Its not necessarily all about clothes.
What do u look for in a sporty female?
A “Pretti Ladi.” (laughing)
How do u feel about the current music scene in Charleston?
I feel as if a lot more people are getting involved (unity) and taking it more serious
than 5 to 10 years ago, but a lot of people are still hating. But I do see it growing. As
long as there’s growth, there’s improvement. As long as all those words play a factor
in the music scene then we’re going to get somewhere.
Who are some of the local and mainstream artist you listen to?
Local, anybody from Charleston that is serious about their work. I’ve been listening to
pioneers for the past ten years: Mista Taylor, Marly Mar, Fat Boy and Pachino Dino.
People like Dirty Dave, I’ve been listening to a lot lately, Romie Rome and Mr. Fool
Up. Mainstream, I like a lot of throwback stuff: anything from No Limit to Cash
Money, anything out of Memphis, 8 ball and MJG, Three Six Mafia, Yo Gotti, Gucci,
Lil’ Boosie.
Any encouraging words for other aspiring artist?
If all the wheels on the train aren’t moving together we aren’t gonna go anywhere. We
need people to connect and do this together. If this is what you want to do, this is what
you need to be doing. If you’re coming in, respect the game, respect people who been
in the game before you and respect people who are coming up with you or behind you.
When you respect the game, you’ll get whatever out of it that you put in.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I wanna give a shoutout to God, without him I wouldn’t be here today. A few artist
who are mixxin’ with me: my Camofloss family, Mista Taylor, he really looks out for
me. Marly Mar, Pachino Dino, Free Pachino Dino. Shoutout to Killa Skipp, Fat Boy
and Southern Bloodline Records, N.B.A. Records,
Hollywood and Troy, The Whole Lev Squad, my producer Jro, all club owners, all djs,
Dj Kub, shoutout to Charleston.

IS THE CAROLINA MUSIC SCENE FINALLY ON THE RISE??
WHO ARE WE REALLY IN COMPETION WITH SINCE EVER
ONE IS IN COMPETION WITH EACH OTHER??
WITH BEN FREEZY....
SOUTH CAROLINA ARTISTS HAVE BEEN IN THE MIXING
BOWL WITH EACH OTHER FOR YEARS!! SOME MAY
THINK ITS BECAUSE OF THE SLAVE MAN MENTALITY,
OTHERS SEEM TO THINK IT'S A CRAB IN THE BARREL
EFFECT THATS HOLDING EACH OTHER FROM GETTING
OUT OF THE SC MUSIC BOX.. THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS; THERES PLENTY OF ISSUES THAT WE CAN ADDRESS
AS TO WHY PEOPLES MENTALITY IS THE WAY IT IS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT NO ONE IS GOING TO STEP UP
TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES AT HAND....
THEIR HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS ARTISTS IN SOUTH CARO-
LINA THAT WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SIGN CON-
TRACTS WITH A MAJOR LABEL, BUT DIDN'T SUCCEED
BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE SOUTH
CAROLINA NATIVES, BUT ARE THE BIGGEST SUPPORT-
ERS FOR ATLANTA ARTISTS WHO COME FROM THE
SAME LOCAL SCENE WHO MAKE IT BIG IN SMALL
TOWNS AND CITIES SUCH AS THE CAROLINAS AND GO
BACK TO BEING LOCAL IN ATLANTA OR SURROUNDING
AREAS..
SO, WHO ARE WE REALLY IN COMPETION WITH IN THE
CAROLINAS??? DEFINITLY SHOULDN'T BE WITH EACH
OTHER, BECAUSE THE RESOURCES ARE LIMITED IN THE
CAROLINAS, BUT THE SUPPORT IN THE CAROLINAS IS
HUGE IF EVERYONE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AS AN
OUTLET AND AS A PARTNER, INSTEAD OF A THREAT OR
COMPETITOR!! THERES ENOUGH MONEY AND MUSIC
TO CIRCULATE THROUGHOUT THE CAROLINAS TO
MAKE A GREAT IMPACT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY...
INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT WHO MAY HAVE THE
TORCH AT THE TIME, PEOPLE IN SC SHOULD WORRY
BOUT GETTING A TICKET ON BOARD AND WAITING FOR
YOUR STOP, SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MARK IN THE
MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR THE CAROLINAS , AND THAT
WILL DRAW MORE MEDIA POWER HOUSES TO INVEST
IN SOUTH CAROLINA INSTEAD OF GOING TO SUR-
ROUNDING CITIES AND BUILDING AND LEAVING OUT
THE CAROLINAS LIKE THEY BEEN DOING FOR YEARS,
AND THEN THEY WON'T THINK WE'RE STILL JUST
ABUNCH OF COUNTRY BUMPKINS THAT STILL DONT
GET ALONG AND SCARED OF 'SHAY WHITEY'!!!!!

Lachondria: Who are some of the artists who you have worked
with or want to work with?
Link: So far Beam Davinci, Dusty Rhodes, Numbers, H20, Juelz
Santana, Uni Productions just to name a few. Now I want to
work with Full Code Recording, Pachino Dino, Fatboy, Mr.
Taylor( now those three on a track ahh man), Bulldog
(Hoodstarz), your man O2g/Certified Beats, Yung Rome, Port
Baby (the whole Camofloss Ent), Willie Will, N.B.A. Records
and anybody who wants to rock with me.
Lachondria: Do you think you going to get a nomination for the
2011 GeeChee One Awards this year?
Link: Yes and I want Grinder of the Year. If there is anyone from
the chuck that says that they grind harder than me meet me at
any open mic & I'll be there. Or any event & I'm there"
Interview by Lachondria Taylor
If you haven’t heard Link has been one of the hottest topics of
the discussion in music in the Charleston area right now. He
just won the Hood Starz $500 prize for Open Mic Night at LA
Lounge, plus he was titled as #1 on reverbnation.com for
several weeks. Who is this Link? If you haven’t heard about
him check him out now….
Lachondria: Wassup Link? How are you feeling?
Link: I’m good! What about you?
Lachondria: What more can I say but blessed! Lets see I 1st
meet u @ the Geechee One Mag commercial shoot
rite? I actually thought u rocked!
Link: Yea, I get that most of time.
Lachondria: So who is Link?
Link: Man I’m just a struggling artist trying 2 make it right now.
Doing any and everything.
Lachondria: True. True. I see you're not your average white
boy?
Link: Hell naw. I’m albino (I’m just keeping it real).
Lachondria: You love keeping it real! Where do white boys
like you be hiding?
Link: In the lab. I’m there everyday, when I leave it leaves!
Lachondria: One thing is that you have a lot of different styles
as far as your music goes. Tell us about that.
Link: I love to touch on hip hop, gangsta, a lil dirty south and
mix it all up with rock and pop.
Lachondria: I've watched you at the La Lounge, you are like a
book if you don't read it. How do you feel about that?
Link: Why I say that is because that shows the world is still
stereotyping people. I’ve done rock by itself. I've been in
all genres I’m the best person to put those together. I mean I
know Mexicans who don't speak Spanish but you call them
Mexicans.

Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a 22-year-old college student at Strayer University. I’m a rapper/
hip hop artist. I was born in New York raised in Charleston.
How long have you been rapping?
I did my first rhyme at 16 so about five years now.
What influenced you to start rapping?
I just started doing it. I was locked up and I was bored and had noth-
ing to do. I put my emotions into the rap. People said they liked it and
kind of gassed me up, so I just kept going.
As a new artist just starting out, what are some of the hardships you’ve
faced in the music game?
I see how people just try to use you to make themselves look better.
They don’t want to look out for you they just see a dollar sign. You just
have to stay focused and put out hot songs. There’s no unity. You have
to get together so you can make money.
What makes you stand out amongst other up and coming artist?
I’m just real with mine. I can rap on any beat. I just have a different
swag. I come in a whole different way than a Geechee artist would
come. They always talk about the same thing.
What’s the name of your new single that’s hot right now and how did
you come up with the concept for it? .
The name of the song is “Brett Farvin.” It came about with me just
being what I’ve always been: a hustler, a grinder…getting money.
Whatever you doin and you feel like you legendary with it. It came
from the football player Brett Favre. He was good at football and he’s
a legend now. If you doing legal things, illegal things as long as you’re
handling business and you feel like you legendary with it, you’re “Bret
Farvin. Just being on top of your shit, basically.
When you recorded Bret Farvin, did you have any idea it would take
off like it did?
I was just playing around with that and it just became a hit. My dog
just made a beat and I just added a few words and stuck with it.
Who are some of the people you look up to in the music game?
I look up to Soulja Slim, Gucci, Lil’ Wayne, Tupac and Biggie. I listen
to all of their music.
What words Of encouragement would you give to another up and com-
ing artist?
I would tell them to stay independent, stay dedicated and don’t ever
give up. Use the internet and network. Holla at different people. Be
versatile.
Would you like to give any shoutouts?
I wanna give a shoutout to the lord, my family my homies, west
montague fam, shoutouts to the city, to all my supporters and all my
fans.

GEECHEE ONE with BEN FREEZY EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ONE
OF THE MIXTAPE GREATS DJ SOULLESS......
BF: HOW IMPORTANT IS THE DJ'S ROLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ?
DJ.S: Dj's play a very crucial role in the music industry. Without the Dj's there
would be no Gucci Mane, Lil Boosie, T.I, etc. In order for an artist to succeed
in this industry, someone is gong to have to spin your record(s). As an artist
you need to go out and communicate with djs,
collaborate with other artists, hit these music conventions, clubs, events, etc....
No one is just going to hand out a meal ticket, you have to put in the foot
work!
BF: WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE TO INDEPENDENT ARTIST LOOKING TO
BREAK INTO THE INDUSTRY?
DJ S: Stay humble, network, be professional , the Internet is a great tool to for
resources. Don't wait on a record company , stay on the grind and don't sleep.
Create a music business plan, the fact can not be argued you need to set a
plan in motion and goals in order to succeed in the industry.
BF: WHATS YOUR ADVICE ON HOW AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST
SHOULD REACH OUT TO DJ'S TO PLAY THEIR MUSIC ?
DJ S: Contact us professionally , be patient and do not blow us up. I can per-
sonally say after hearing 30 secs of a record, if I'm going to spin it or not.
Always have studio quality product , also when giving a dj a record try to have
a dirty, clean and most important the instrumental. One more thing
do not go to a dj in a club and expect your record to get played for the first
time, without review its not going to happen.
BF: CAN YOU NAME ANY SPECIFIC ARTIST THAT YOU HAVE DONE
WORK WITH?
DJ S: Dj Paul of Three Six Mafia , Razor aka Mr. M-I-A, Rena, Grief, Lil
Mugga, Loose Cannon, Yung Berg, Gucci Mane, Crimeboss Luciano, I can go
on all day.
BF: WHAT PROJECTS ARE YOU WORKING ON IN THE NEAR FUTURE
AND HOW OFTEN DO YOU RELEASE MIXTAPES?
DJ S: I release about 3-4 mixtapes a month, not including independent artist
project that i host. The new mixtape series that i will start releasing in July is
called
Traps-R-Us , which will be hosted by major artist and will be release twice a
month on that specific series.

Lets just think about that statement for a little bit. Any female who was any experi-
ence with guys knows that the latter is true. (p**sy IS power) But I want to introduce
to you a true and bold fact, and that is the revelation that d*ck IS control. Power vs.
Control. If you had to choose one to be in possession of which would you choose? It
is a careful choice and one mustn’t be too hasty when choosing. Does one out-weigh
the other? Does one give the bearer a clear advantage in a situation? These are ques-
tions we are going to introduce to you and hopefully, when the light of knowledge is
upon you, you can make a clear realization of the bold theory that p**sy is power but
d*ck is control.
Believe it or not there are still those that dispute the sheer power that p**sy pos-
sesses. There are those who will swear by the idea that p**sy has no power when in
fact, p**sy is a powerful entity that can and will slay even the most forlorn fellow. In
fact, p**sy has been known to even drive a fellow p**sy carrier (another women)
mad and to drastic measures. Lets reach further and find out why. There is a popular
song by The Funkadelics called “Atomic Dog” and it has the catchy hook of “why must
I be like that, why must I chase the cat?” Well, the reason that I must chase the cat
(p**sy) is simply instincts. I am genetically predisposed to succumb to p**sy. I am pre
-programmed to desire it and to seek it. I came from it and thus I desire to return to
it. Where is the power in that some may ask? The power is found in the knowledge
that women have knowing that men seek them on a sub-conscious level. The power
is knowing that men desire you and what you have. No matter the potential hazards.
No matter the warning signs. No matter the clear indications that this situation is not
for us…men seek you and what you have. Like the Nile crocodile that feast during the
great migration of the wilder beast, you wait. And women never have to wait too
long because the wilder beast (men) come. And we come by the uncountable num-
bers to take our chances. And like clockwork, we are devoured by the Queen of the
Nile and her p**sy we so instinctively seek. Its ironic how wilder beast (men) stand
at the banks of the Nile River and watch the crocodile (women) devour other wilder
beast and instead of moving on to a safe place to cross, we follow in the same path of
the victims that went before us. It is instincts that propel us to try our good fortune
with the Queen of the Nile. And how do women devour us some may ask? That an-
swers is found in the daily activities of men. Everything we do is to cater to women.
Lets analyze that bold statement. The way men look, is it really for other men. The
way a man smells is it for another man. The clothes a man wears are they to impress
another man.
What are the top 5 reasons a young brother purchases a motorcycle. 1. So women
will ask for a ride. 2. So women will ask to sit on it. 3. So women will wave as you ride
by at the park. 4. So women will take a ride and then ask you to give their girl a ride.
5. So women just flat out notice men. Men, take a moment to think about how much
our lives are centered on women and that entity the are in possession of. Our per-
sonality is geared, groomed, and polished to attract p**sy. The jobs we seek are a
vital part of the “operation attract p**sy” process. Damn near everything we do can
trace its roots back to attracting p**sy. We watch what we eat to attract p**sy. We
watch how we eat as to not scare p**sy off. Even simple things are to attract p**sy.
The tattoo’s we get, our style of dress, the way we talk, etc. Just about everything we
do is an attempt to bring us lips to lips with that most powerful force we can see and
touch…p**sy. Women, what better position to be in then that of the controller of
that powerful force? Women control p**sy and p**sy controls men. Believe it or not
men, p**sy is never free. Even if you find p**sy and you don’t pump one red cent
into it, you have already paid for it through the many preparations you have invested
in to even set up a chance meeting with p**sy. The money for your car, clothes,
haircut, watch, place you stay, etc. You put money into the p**sy pool in hopes that
it will bring you to that much closer to p**sy. You can’t tell me that isn’t power.
D*ck is control. D*ck is control…and control is just as valuable then power. Yep, I said
it and I am going to prove it. In the short run, men could never compete with women
in this world. The balance far more favors that of women. The sun seems to rise and
set just for her and the stars are hers for her enjoyment. How can we as feeble men
who through pure instinct must seek the cat even began to combat such a powerful
ally that women have called p**sy. Well, it is in our own matrix that we find the
answer. D*ck. D*ck is the only weapon we have that can even begin to balance out
this uneven struggle. Women do not sub-consciously seek d*ck as we seek p**sy.
They don’t have to because d*ck will come to them. From the outside it looks as if
women have all the tools for a total domination I presume. But they do have a design
flaw. Although they don’t sub-consciously seek it, they do un-consciously desire it on
a level that we as men have yet to understand. And to help with that, they have been
built to withstand this unpredictable and longstanding sex-drive. They can’t get limp,
they have the stamina of an Olympic athlete and they rarely go dry. And if that were
the case, they have developed artificial assistance to correct that. Where does the
control come in? Well men, by us knowing this small little detail it allows us to ma-
nipulate situations in order to gain control. Take for example a couple in a relation-
ship. Their relationship is up and down and they have their share of many problems.
After a very bad fight what happens? The women is unstable, fragile and in limbo.
She has thoughts of “I can do better then this” and “I know so and so wouldn’t do
this to me.” What propels her to stick around? Lets exclude love from the equation
because everything changes and all rules are out the door with love. The next thing is
d*ck. It is d*ck that reminds her why she should stay. It is d*ck that says everything is
going to be all right. It is d*ck that says how much we care and how much you are
appreciated. Men are not orally expressive creatures so we have to speak another
language. That language is d*ck. That is why make-up sex is so good. It is our way of
saying, “sit your ass down, you aint going no where” or “baby I need you” or however
you say what corresponds with you sensitivity level. Either way, it is a language that
women respond to and completely understand. They hear it from that one guy in this
ear when the other several wilder beasts are in her other ear. That CONTROL, al-
though outwardly not as flashy as POWER is just enough to help add some balance to
the force. P**sy is power but D*ck is control…
