GoodLifers, this Saturday come out and celebrate the Life of Jason Stewart (J Stew) at Billy's.This will be a good event to attend and support the big homie and his family. So after "Rock the Rapid" come over to Billy's and show some love and respect to a brother, that changed the game for fashion in the city of Grand Rapids, MI. RIP J Stew, hope this event makes you proud.
What's up GoodLifers! We are back with another album review, and personal I have been waiting months for this to drop. 2 Chainz (AKA Tity Boi) has released his debut solo album, "Based on A T.R.U Story." This album is full of bangers, with the hit "No Lie" feat. Drake and " Birthday Song" feat. Kanye West. The album goes hard and if you are looking for a good CD to dance or to workout to, this album would be a great fit. With over a 100,000 units moved in the first week, it looks like 2 Chainz may have a solid career in the rap game. Make sure you go out and buy 2 Chainz debut album "Based On A T.R.U Story" GRADE: B
Here at the GoodLifeCampaign we are closing in on our First Anniversary!! It is very exciting because in a short year we have been able to meet so many great artists and people. It is truly a blessing to be able to go to shows, listen to music and write about it. I have always loved Hip Hop because of the expression, and now as a team we are able to consume as much as we can, and write it off in taxes!!! Only in America!! Where's Don King at??!!
Given that we are approaching our first year, it is only right to highlight someone that has put in more than his share of years into the Hip Hop community. When certain things come to mind a person's face could be attached to it. Avon Barksdale to the dope game. Turbo to break dancing. MC Lil Mack to Hip Hop.
While the first two names are from classic movies or television series, MC Lil Mack is as real as they come, and very true to Hip Hop. I met Lil Mack years ago searching for somewhere to perform. I just moved from Kalamazoo and was experimenting with rhyming. I had a group of performers from the Zoo, but really didn't know many people in Grand Rapids at the time. I went out to Teazer's on a Tuesday night, chopped it up with Lil Mack, and two weeks later the whole team from the Zoo came down and rocked the entire night!! That's love!! What he did was something I hadn't experienced before. He didn't care where we were from, just heard the music, and let us get down!! That was one of my first live performances ever!! The Roots of where the GoodLifeCampaign started to form!!
Long story short, life happens and I was away from the scene for about 1 1/2 years. Once I was able to get out, Lil Mack was the first guy I came looking for. Where did I find him?? At Teazer's djing for BattleMania. No matter what goes on, you know that Lil Mack will be somewhere standing tall for Hip Hop in the city of Grand Rapids. The Man is the definition of a true Hip Hop head!! Whether sunshine or rain days, throughout all the good press or bad press for Hip Hop, one thing that you can count on is that he will be there standing tall for the Art. The respect he is given around the city and beyond is because he has earned it, and no one can question his love for what he does. He has worked with damn near every artist in the area because he has been attached to shows for years.
MC Lil Mack lives, breathes, and eats Hip Hop!! Be sure to check him out at a venue in the city!!
Below is the interview uncut with MC Lil Mack. Enjoy!!
What's the deal GoodLife fam?? You know what it is over here, still at it, still grinding. We are learning on the job, that's for sure!!
One man I felt helped give us a bit of an education is Moe Money McCoy. If you have heard the name, it could have came from several other lanes besides music. I have seen him commentating boxing matches, performing at shows, producing tv shows, you name it, he has done it. A true entrepreneur understands risks and thrives because of it. No matter what the venture, Moe goes hard in the paint like Charles Barkley in the 90's!! He understands marketing and branding on a level most don't.
Whether you are an artist, business person, or someone looking to start a business, I suggest you contact Moe McCoy and have a conversation. He is extremely approachable, and most importantly humble. I'm making daily steps in my journey for the GoodLife, and Moe has a few tools that certainly help.
Check out the interview below!!
We look forward to working with Moe Money McCoy in the future with several different endeavors!!
