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.

Touring: A must for Indie Artists

In the last few months, I've been asked by quite a few people the same question: "how do you make your money as an artist?" Certain people still assume that music sales are the cash cow for artist. Well, with Streaming services rolling into town and paying us poor artists 0.0001 of a penny, there isn't much hope to make tons of money. If we look at the top of the hip hop industry, folks like J Cole only made 100k from Streaming, we talking about an artist that went PLATINUM. 

I'm under no illusion of success, it takes hard work to make it in this industry. You have to be business savvy and creative: creatively business savvy.  

I'm still learning alot as a music business excuetive, but I know one thing for sure, if I can accomplish the things they sell in dreams, on my own, I am in really good shape.  

I've produced and releases my first project with my own funding and now, I've booked my own tour with the homie Alfred Banks from New Orleans.

The River Kings Tour is kicking off August 26th in Memphis with a private event in partnership with Rhodes College and The Mike Curb Institute. 

Show money, is good money, it's really our only money :) Let's go get it!
