The 6th International Soul Music Summit 2011

dmvradionet@gmail.com (Joe Traxx) — Tue, 24 May 2011 15:37:00 +0000

A Message From Terry Bello
Hello Everyone, It's almost that time again...

The 6th International Soul Music Summit 2011 is ONLY 3 months away! It's a cultural heaven for artists, musicians, retailers, consumers, executives, bloggers and fans of good music. Literally every aspect of the 'music industry' will be in attendance. With the total registration of panelist, artist & guest, the 2011 ISMS is estimated to peak at 4,200+ attendees.

Every artist who makes the pilgrimage to Atlanta for all of the festivities need to take every opportunity in front of them if they want to make ISMS a truly worthwhile investment in their career. Not just through showcasing their talents, but by being personable and outgoing. The people artists can meet at ISMS could change their lives and career paths forever! There are so many people with insight, connections, and/or influence who have come in the name of good music to share their knowledge and experience!

Now, being a true realist, I don't want to put it in your mind that if an artist go out there and shake everyone's hand, they will be the next super-star. Unfortunately, that's just not realistic. However, the opportunity to learn, to make some new connections and to gain some new fans is VERY real!

So, I want to reach out to YOU, the ISMS community of artists, bloggers and readers, to help put together a checklist for EVERYONE, so they can truly make this ISMS an EPIC experience! I've broken the Checklist into four categories:

Soul Music Summit 2011 Pre-Checklist

1.Have you register ISMS?

http://www.soulmusicsummit.net/fr_attendee.cfm

2. Have you booked your room at the W Hotel?

https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1011050068&key=943EE

3. Have you made your Travel plans?

4. Have you join the ISMS group page for updates?

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=60194954233

5. Do you want to perform at ISMS 2011

http://www.soulmusicsummit.net/fr_registration.cfm

How you can Help us:

Facebook: help us by sending facebook blasts about the Summit to raise awareness in your own community. Sharing the links would be helpful or re-sending the messages from the ISMS facebook page

Twitter: Tweeting messages about the summit is a good way to converse directly with others about the Summit.

Logo your website:

Banner exchanges is always a mutually beneficial. Establishing your brand is essential to bringing more web awareness. Having your web banner and/or your link on our page will increase traffic and eventually lead to more fans.

Our banner on your web page will also be helpful for the marketing of the ISMS. Imagine the excitement it will generate if people recognized that logo on your site as well as countless others! send info out to your mailing list: direct contact with your constituents adds credibilty because you would have personally stamped the validity of the Summit. Remember YOU hold the key...without the artists there is not an ISMS! Once You've Arrived: There will be an info packet for you at the hotel when you arrive that will include local taxi company phone numbers and a shuttle schedule.

If you are promoting a site, company or yourself, bring all your info Invest in personal contact cards or business cards that best represent yourself, it’s golden Have all personal documents, money and travelers checks in order Make sure you photo copy all important documents and put them in the hotel safe If you have any personal or professional people you want to contact, fire off an email a week before the event

If you plan on doing some site seeing via walking, take a good comfortable pair of shoes Camera, video camera and back up batteries. Take care of your self before you go away…eat well and get plenty of sleep, especially if you are planning on going to the parties (and you are going to want to) Drink plenty of water, keep hydrated while you are there Double check all your bags and pockets before packing, you don’t want an unexpected event at the airport.

Make sure people have a way of getting in contact with you. Remember to call your mother, let her know where you will be for the week. Double check your flight information and hotel accommodations before you leave, you don’t want to get there and find out it wasn’t booked right If you'll be driving, print out driving directions from each location you'll visit to the next (e.g., hotel to conference center; airport to hotel, etc.) Before you go, re-confirm air, hotel, and rental car reservations. It's better to deal with problems ahead of time.

If you'll need Internet access at the meeting, determine if it's more cost effective to purchase it at a daily rate from the hotel or conference center; or whether it makes more sense to get a mobile access device for your computer. Bring a sturdy envelope or extra wallet to keep receipts. You will likely need to do a full accounting to get reimbursed when you return, and it's easier to have all receipts on hand.

Other Things to Do:

Plan to arrive early or stay over an extra day to tour the Atlanta area – there is a lot to see and do! http://www.atlanta.com/ Lastly, have fun. You are going to want to take pictures and video to remember your amazing time.

K-Cutta, formerly known as J-Rock, grew up and was strongly influenced by the hard streets of Vallejo. Influenced and associated with the County Club Crest Side (CCC) and the notorious Romper Room Gang, K-Cutta was deep in street life. Known as J-Rock then, he was exposed to a variety of music on the streets and in his home. At home the sounds of Marvin Gaye to Too $hurt would begin to shape his love for music. However, Mac Drew, The Mac, Due, Coli, and his cousin Feb. Snow would inspire him to write about his personal experiences. Listening to the freestyle on the streets became a “Natural High” for him and his obsession would become his passion.

K-Cutta has worked on a variety of mix-tapes. These mix-tapes show his diversity and have circulated on the streets. His recent mix-tape, ‘Me. Just Being Me’, allows K-Cutta to expose himself to the world. K-Cutta has been featured on projects with artist such as: A2daK, Lace the Nation, Sleep Dank, Crest Creeper, D-Shot, E-40, under the name J-rock, to name a few. K-Cutta has worked with some great producers: Kev B of KBD Productions, Phonix (who has worked with Game), Troy Sanders, Pablo, Doc Sav, Cozmo, Rio, Spilf, E-Lee and Mark Noxx.

K-Cutta is currently working on his solo debut album ‘Another Day in the Street’. This album will be released on K-Cutta’s label, Family Tree Entertainment/Future Music Group. K-Cutta and long time running mate, A2daK, has worked relentlessly to develop Future Music Group. These two have followed each other’s lead and are coming out on top of their game. They have worked through adversity and hope to develop a strong base to support others on the rise. ‘Future Gang’, the family that K-Cutta is a part of has worked to gain notoriety in this game. Look out for ‘Future Gang’ albums, by T-Wizzle (aka Mac Weez), V-Nitty, 40Keys, and Joey Cool.

On K-Cutta’s current project, he’s worked with E-40, A2daK, 40Keys, V-Nitty, T. Wizzle, K.O., Shigady ‘The Play Boy of the Crest Creepers’, C-Dot CL6 of the Killa Squad, Devious, J-Minxx and Madeline. He is excited about this project and knows the folks on the streets will love it because he has put in work and have collaborated with some of the best.

In the near future, K-Cutta would like to work with Brisco, Rick Rock, Hippse Hustle, Mista Fib, The Game, Yuckmouth, Snoop Dogg, Harrell, The Clips, Jim Jones, Drake, Lil Wayne, Young Money, Young Buck, 50Cent, Justin Timberlake, Timberland, and a slew of other talented artist.

About the Lincoln Theatre

The Lincoln Theatre, built in 1922, was the center of a cultural renaissance that predated Harlem. Washington natives Duke Ellington and Pearl Bailey were joined by nationally acclaimed artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Nat King Cole, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, and Sarah Vaughn who performed regularly on the Lincoln's storied stage. Even FDR had his birthday parties at the Lincoln Colonnade, a festive party hall once located at the Theatre.

5TH ANNUAL 2011 DMV MUSIC AWARDS

dmvradionet@gmail.com (Joe Traxx) — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:15:00 +0000

1. Nominees will be determined by an online voting system (40%) of the overall vote, a text-to-vote process

(30%), and a DMV industry "power ballot" (30%). The top 7 nominees from each category's will then are sent to a panel of 15 independent judges.

1. Online Nomination Ballot: Go to www.2011dmvawards.com to nominate. Each vote will be collected into a database, configured to only allow one vote per email address. The system records the IP address of each user to prevent multiple voting from a single email address.

2. Text to Vote: text the key word "DMV" (space) to 313131 then correspondent number BEST DC MALE RAP #4 codes, then the name of the group or artist you would like to vote for. example: TEXT "DMV" to 313131 #4 john smith

3. DMV industry "power ballot": These individuals are drawn from various media outlets and industry professionals, with an intimate knowledge of the local music landscape

We are confident that this system of voting should be the most compressive to date. The nomination deadline for the 2011 DMV MUSIC AWARDS is February 14, 2011.

2. The winners are chosen by a panel of fifteen judges, consisting of reputable and experienced DMV Industry power players, representing different segments of the industry.

1. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION: The selection committee will analyze each artist in each category and choose a winner based upon performance, products, and accomplishments achieved in the calendar year 2010. Winners will be based on concrete statistics, not industry politics.

2. The panel will review the top seven (7) nominees in each category as determined by the nomination process. 3. All nominees will receive full consideration to ensure that the most deserving nominee is chosen.

4. The winner of each category will be determined by who received the most votes from the final judging panel.

5. Members of the panel are required and expected to make unbiased and fair decisions. The acceptance of gifts is strictly prohibited. Panel members are urged to vote in a manner that preserves the integrity of the DMV MUSIC AWARDS.

While we want to make sure the voting process is fair, we will always want this to be an awards event where the people and fans are able to contribute and participate in the voting process. To ensure transparency, a list of the nominating panel representatives can be found here:

Winners will be presented with a DMV Music Award; however, all nominees will be presented with a letter of nomination and complimentary entry to the event.

We are confident that this system of voting should be the most comprehensive to date. The nomination deadline for the 2011 DMV MUSIC AWARDS is February 14, 2011.

My Brother is SMART.. Don't Hold it Against Him...

My fellow blogger and brother is one of the most intelligent cats in the world. With that being said, he is INSANE. Here is a look at his rantings that hit home to many. From his lips, to the pen, to the page, to your eyes, to your brain, enter the cortex and love him or hate him. I love him because as he always says.....

Dating Stereotypes 3.5 (The Woman's List)

I AM SAVING NOW FOR HEDONISM III IN JULY 2011!! NO SHIT...

So I'm way up past my bedtime (and this insomnia is kicking my ass), watching fine-ass Ali Larter (Google her) in the movie “Obsession”, and I get the urge to post something. Now this list is by no means scientific and is, for the most part, a bunch of stereotypes and miscellaneous perceptions from various women of various ages, races, and backgrounds. Actually, if we're really talking, it's just something to get us all over until I can drop another bomb for the masses... a filler-blog but a blog all the same.

I'd like to hear your feedback on this one so I can compile a better, more concise, list. Also, there's a female version of this list too but I'm too tired to post it. This chick I met from Baltimore, who works nights, is a combination of about six of the items on the list... for real. I won't put you on blast, Des femmes cubaines, as I know someone would have to talk you down off of the ledge after I finish with you. Moving on, the list is just something to kick around and have fun with and should be treated as such.

On a more serious note. I absolutely hate the Holiday Season for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it seems as if the people who've made it special for me through the years have passed-on. Momma (Aunt Honey), Daddy, Great-Grandma Ethel Foster, Mommy Vera, Adrienne Veney, Alice and Pop Walker. Don't get me wrong, my sister Tre (Mookie) ALWAYS makes a holiday of it and a good one at that. Christmas and Turkey Day the past couple of years have been outstanding thanks to Sis, Momma Mia, Vicki, and that whole Philly/NJ Crew. But I am missing the days of my father pulling me out of bed to help around the place in preparation of guest soon to visit. I miss helping Mommy (Vera) in the kitchen make a stuffing so good that I haven't tasted anything that comes close to this day. How can I forget Turkey Days with my deceased fiancee Adrienne? Good Times. I remember the day after our first Thanksgiving together watching a young Maryland Terps Basketball Team defeat, no upset, the Georgetown Hoya's while eating a brunch of deep-fried fish, onion and garlic potatoes, and mimosas'. I think I called-off from the hospital that whole weekend. We had several more the those holiday gatherings before she passed-on to a much better place.

What I am getting at is even though they ARE this hard, the holidays SHOULDN'T BE, considering the size of my family. As I reflect back over the history of our holiday gatherings I notice a trend: The generation next in line never follows through with tradition when the matriarch or patriarch passes-on. Why? There can be a thousand reasons but here are a few that stand-out to me but that another blog...

Stay Groovy and God Bless,

The Hedonist
