Bilal x Marco Pavé x Juju Bushman (a birthday to remember)
Words really can't describe the energy that engulfed the Hi Tone on November 16th 2016. I am still in awe of the synergy that was showcased with all the artists, musicians, and fans. On a Wednesday night, we packed out the house not only for Bilal, but for Juju, myself, Reach, Marco Alexander, Idaly M, Jason Da Hater, Ralph Calhoun, Zandria F . Robinson and many more.
Beyond it being an amazing show, it was also my birthday, my 24th birthday to he exact. I couldn't have thought of a better way to end my Jordan Year than with this concert in my hometown amongst amazing energy.
This only increases the fire to build more and demand more for our city... add a log to the flame.

Childhood dreams to Paths & Passions
If all these Facebook posts, tweets, and website posts all showed yall the blood, sweat, and tears of this excruciating grind instead of just mere words, you would understand why I'm so SERIOUS about my craft. This is not just a job I wanna have, this ain't just some goal I always wanted to accomplish. It's a passion, a calling, a path-- a path that I didn't choose, a path that chose me. When I was 8 years old, I imagined that I had my own record label. At 8. Most kids my age changed their career choice every week, to fit their mode. Nope, not Tauheed Rahim II, I wanted to be CEO of a label-- EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
In 2014, I made that childhood vision come to life and I started my own label. 2 years later after a few accolades (actually quite a few) and some grinding later, Im going on my first tour. The River Kings Tour with Alfred Banks from New Orleans.
I'm bringing that tour through Memphis, September 3rd 2016, and I want all my Memphis fans and supporters to be in the building in full support of the growth and the mission to keep growing.
