Where I wanna be in 10 years? “Only time can tell!”

Smoovioso has got cool moves & not just with his voice; he knows how to catch the attention of his audience, whether there is one or a hundred. These unique qualities, along with his sharp focus, can for sure guide Smoovioso to the very top of his domain. He has put out a couple of music videos that not only got hype from his fans, but from the promoters too, where many people are now looking to work with him.

“Music is a powerful form of expression. It can move you, it can make you feel things & it can bring people together. It can heal, it can comfort & it can inspire.

It can change lives.” He cheered. “Music has been my passion since the first time I heard a song on the radio. I’ve spent all day, every day, learning & creating music. I’ve discovered so much about the industry & have had so many incredible experiences. But my greatest discovery has been women.” He added.

When asked about his music depth, Smoovioso said, “Music has always been a part of my life. But it’s only in the past few years that I’ve realized the true depth & breadth, of what it means to be a musician. I’ve learned about the business side of things, but I’ve also learned about the creative side: the writing, the recording, the performing.” Then added, “Music has touched so many aspects of my life & has taught me so much about the world & myself.”

My vision: The badder you are, the better you are

Inspiration artists: JudieKash

Where I wanna be in 10 years? “On my yacht with tons of money.”

Judie Kash turns her head walking into a room. With her unmatched wit, a keen understanding of modern rap & a personality that matches the tides of the current music industry, Judie will remind you of a very young Cardi B. or Megan the Stallion. The rap scene is always on the lookout for the next big star & we have no doubt we’ll see Judie making that chart soon.

I’ve been a fan of rap music for as long as I can remember. “I remember sitting in my room writing poems due to my anger, I always had so much built up, from trauma, to life experiences as a teenager, to growing up. I watched tv and freestyles, then one day I decided to hop on a beat & it took off from there”, Judie said with a glare in her eyes. “Music has always been an important part of our culture. It has inspired emotions, feelings & actions. It has become a part of who we are as a people.” Addressing the many concerns Judie has about the current industry, she said, “As a whole, the genre is diverse in terms of its style & subject matter. Some rappers focus on the social issues of the day, while others talk about the life experiences of the hood. The genre has been changing rapidly over the past few years & I would like to keep up with it.” If anyone can do it, Judie, It’s you!

#DMVillains If the words (metaphors on steroids) were a person @ChicagoxSantana would be it #nobap. Since 2015, when my son began his rap career, I’ve always wanted to see the talented Kings & Queens from our city, link with A-list celebrities from outta town & Chicago Santana accomplished that X 2; when he did a collab with #GucciMane & the late #YoungDolph (RIP) & that’s fah sho fah sho major asf ✅. It goes; without saying, that he’s good at what he does & you can find his masterpieces streaming on all platforms, but we wanted to give you guys a head start, so we’ve taken the time to extract sum for your enjoyment 🎶🎵🎼

He is featured/showcased on page #21 of our #August2022 print. We coined him #TheTrapKing (pseudonym).

Popular Releases: Trapped Out Ft. Gucci Mane & Young Dolph, We Movinn Ft Young Dolph & I Might

My vision: “To excel in all aspects of the business 🅿️eriod” 🎯

Inspiration artists: “As far as music, I like a lot of older music; Boosie, Webbie, Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, B.G., C-Murder & those type of sounds. But, I’m inspired by the business side of the industry, so I look up to people like BIRDMAN, P DIDDY, MASTER P & JAY Z (moguls)

Where I wanna be in 10 years? “In 10 years, I wanna be in other aspects of the business, like acting, production, dance and/or reality T.V.”

Chicago Santana had been on the wrong side of the law for a few years, but he was eventually able to prove his innocence. Now that he is free, he is able to continue doing what he loves, which is making music. Santana was charged with a crime he did not commit. He had taken his freedom for granted before & is now struggling to get it back..

When asked about his future plans, Chicago has some advice for the public, “There’s no one formula for becoming a big deal in the music industry. However, there are a few things that can help you achieve success.” Then added, “First, you need to be willing to work hard. This means putting in the time to perfect your craft & hone your skills. Secondly, you need to have some money saved up, so you can invest in your music career. Finally, it takes amazing skills & talent to make it big in the music industry. If you have these three things, then you’re on your way to becoming a big deal in the music industry”.

Then he got up & cheered, “I’m willing to do it all over. I’m meant to be big!” Then added, “I want to be a big deal in the music industry again. It’s not easy, but it’s possible with hard work, money & amazing skills.”

Inspiration artists: Dexter Carr

Where I wanna be in 10 years?

“I want to be on tour & be a choreographer for artists; specifically for live performances & music videos.

Women have long been relegated to the sidelines in the world of professional dance. Only a small percentage of dancers are female & those who do make a living dancing, are rarely taken seriously. It’s a vicious cycle, that has left women far behind in the field of their choice. But that’s changing.” Sarah exclaimed with a fire in her eyes.

Then continued, “Dance is an art form that requires a unique combination of physical strength, agility & flexibility. It requires years of training, practice & dedication; to develop the skills needed to perform in front of an audience. Over the years, many women have pursued careers in dance, but often face gender-based discrimination & a lack of gender parity in the industry. Women have been barred from roles such as leading roles & have had opportunities to perform reduced when compared to their male counterparts, despite being better dancers.”

Women have always danced, but until recently, they have rarely been recognized for their talent. Today, however, women are making their mark on the professional world of dance. Some, like Sarah Nicole, have made a name for themselves with sheer resilience and skills as others, such as Kaitlin Haught, have proved that the world of ballet is not limited to men. The women of today are redefining what it means to be a dancer & their influence is already being felt across the industry.

Where I wanna be in 10 years?

”I wanna own a club & start touring worldwide, doing stand up & attending all the lit clubs doing recaps, hosting & build my brand”

Personalized comedy is an important element of modern comedy. It’s one of the main ways that stand-up comedy has evolved in the past decade. It’s also something that many comedians are passionate about. Maldabidd exclaimed.

“First of all, it allows audiences to connect with a comedian on a more personal level. This can make them feel more comfortable & less inhibited when they’re in the room with the performer. It can also help build trust between the audience & the entertainer, which creates a more enjoyable environment overall.” He cheered. “The end result is that it makes for a better comprehensive show for everyone involved, which is why it’s such an important part of modern comedy.”

Maldabidd has been in the comedy scene for a while now & is aware of the many tricks & ideas that makes him stand out from the crowd. His work showcases his desire to convey his personal ideas to the public; for amusement, but of course it leaves lots of room for conflict & misunderstandings as well. Maldabidd doesnt seem to be phased by the negative responses though & we are sure he’s on his way to the stars!

My vision: Explore!

Inspiration artists: Bernie Mac, SNL & WILD n’ OUT

Where I wanna be in 10 years?

“An established actor, and Prayerfully on either SNL or WILD n’ OUT ”

My name is Kurtland Elliott II, born September 22,1996 in Washington DC, but relocated to Gaithersburg, Maryland at age 9; where I reside now. Comedy & acting came to me at a young age. I always had the capability of making my family & friends laugh, which also got me into a little trouble, because teachers were constantly calling the house. Middle school was my introduction to acting. There, I did my first play “Cinderella”, where I played her dad & in HS I did theatre class for 2 years. But, sadly I drifted away, because I was going in the direction I thought my parents wanted, instead of going for my dreams. But, in 2018 I would make my return to acting/comedy, with skits. I began to do it as a positive outlet, because both parents began to get sick; they’re better now & I finally found the time to tap into my passion. I knew I had something special, when I got posted on dmvhoodzandnewz, shaderoom, mocoshow, dmvdaily, worldstar & my TikTok is sitting at 13K followers.

I’ve also gained the traction of celebrities such as Brandy, Ceelo Green, Clinton Portis, Kel Mitchell, Tyrik from Power & more

My advice for anyone out there would be this “ If you have any dreams or passions, go for it, do not do what others want you to do or you may think you have to, in order to please them. Just go for it! There will be times you struggle & times you get high Praises. Stay humble to both & always keep God in your life as well.”

Doing the website & social media portions of our brand, for each talent, gives cause for us to take a deep dive into everyones’ IG reels & whilst doing so Lo$o, we learned which gas stations to avoid 😁, we watched his experience with the folk over at #LastStop; amongst other things.

“High ends, high spending. We are just trying to end life on a high note.”

Humor is a tricky subject to tackle. So, we asked Loso how he tackles this problem. “It is subjective & everyone has their own opinion of what makes them laugh. What one person finds hilarious might offend another? I find that the best humor is selfdeprecating & clever.” Loso exclaimed.

“It can be hard to find a good joke or funny story these days. With the internet, it’s easy to find anything you want to know about, but it’s just as easy for people to get insulted by something they read or see online.” He added. “This makes it difficult for comedians to create new material, without upsetting anyone in the process.”

Don’t you worry Loso, you’re doing a perfect job finding the proper boundaries, between offensive & humorous content & we look forward to you giving us much MORE
