Malik Yusef – Pave Settings Entertainment – The Music Industry – Precise

I have been involved in the music industry over a decade, consistently pursuing my dream and most recently understanding what my purpose is as an artist. I am here to uplift the mass and be a reminder of the greatness that all of us possess. I do this through my gift of music.

I am extremely encouraged in recent times because of how the face of the music industry is changing. It allows access to areas that may not have been accessible ten years ago. The advent of blogs and social media has enabled me to provide insight into who I am as an artist and a person to the entire world. I am grateful for that.

This is a different time. It is easier to maneuver through some areas, however other areas remain a mystery. Most times the information needed to gain access to these areas will not be available on-line. Nothing substitutes the relationship.

Last week 5-15-2013 courtesy of Pave Settings Entertainment I took part in a Teleconference called Breaking into the Music Industry Ft Malik Yusef of Good Music.  Malik’s resume is loaded with experience in the industry that is invaluable. His accolades range from Tony Awards to Grammys. The relationships he has fostered are golden.

 

During my time in this industry I have spent A LOT of money for situations that I assumed would help me along my road to success. I have paid to perform at conferences. I have sold tickets for shows. I have spent money for promotions. Sometimes I would benefit. Sometimes I did not benefit. I always chalked it up to paying my dues.

My experiences in terms of the money I have shelled out paying my dues were valuable, however the 2 hours we spent on the phone with Malik during the teleconference was eye opening. There were tips that were given that I moved on right away and garnered immediate results. This teleconference was definitely worth the money and I am recommending it to ALL of my friends and peers in this industry.

Explaining what I learned during the teleconference in this blog would not do it any justice. I am inviting you as my personal guest to take part in the teleconference portion of this event on May 22, 2013. As a result of joining last weeks call I have been given this ability to invite those of you who I know will find value in this conversation.

There will also be a Live Group Session with Malik on the Chicago leg of the tour on June 8th. If you are truly serious about your career in this industry I should see you there. Click The links below.

Active Activism

I think its been about a week if not two since the video of Nyoil and Al Sharpton has hit the web. If you haven't see the video you can go here Nyoil and Al Sharpton The significance of this discussion should not be lost. The conversation was very necessary and opened my eyes to many misconceptions people have about Rev Al Sharpton and the movement to reclaim our communities.

NOW is the time to be ACTIVE. Nyoil has increased the Activity of PEMG through hosting his own radio show "Build Sessions" . I like that this show is solution driven. This is not a forum for bellyaching and to talk about what people are not doing. It is a opportunity to connect those who are moving toward the same goal and that is to enlighten and provide knowledge to the people.

Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social or political change.

Are you Active?....Be an Active Activist....Create Something be a part of Positive Change.

Lets Move.....

Who Run This?

Recently my buzz has been increasing and it's great to see the results of a consistent work ethic via the internet. However the one thing I need to acknowledge is that this really has nothing to do with me or what I have done when it comes to my career.

Proverbs 16:9 (New King James Version)

9 A man’s heart plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps


I noticed the shift in my experiences when I decided to put my trust in God. In the last few weeks I have been able to establish meaningful relationships within this industry, be in a music video, meet artists who have an impact and build with undeniable legends in Hip Hop. Part of this has to do with my plan, however the greatest influence has been my movement based on the belief that God will allow me to be present and point me in the the right direction when opportunities arise.

Music has such a powerful influence on the psyche of the masses.I understand this. This is why I have chosen to be the voice of enlightenment. I should speak my message as boldly and as deliberately as those who spread a message contrary to mine. This is not a commentary on the state of Hip Hop and how I am here to resurrect it. This is a pledge to the masses that I will continue to be the alternative to that which glorifies negativity.

God is truly directing my path. The challenge is to continue to be obedient and be in tune enough to recognize when the spirit is speaking to me.

I have no apologies for my stance because I seek the kingdom knowing all else will be added on.

I wait in anticipation for divine inspiration, knowing that when I am obedient the desires of my heart will be fulfilled.

God Runs this.

Where is your Spirit?

1 Corinthians 2:12 (New King James Version)

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Those of you that know me know that I have been working to get my spirit aligned properly. I've read many books and I have spoken to many people. What I have found is that in all my investigation, reading and seeking counsel, I am always led back to the bible.

In previous posts I speak about vibrations and finding the right words to keep your vibration on a high level so that you can experience your true happiness. I've tried everything, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't...at least not the way I wanted it to.

Lately I have been reading the bible and internalizing the scripture to act as a shield against any negativity...and it works..the only thing is that the closer I work to become one with the spirit the more obstacles are thrown in my way.

Just a few days ago I was close to loosing my mind. I mean that in every sense of the word. It was a day filled with despair, loss and desperation. I was beating myself up consistently about the horrible choices I have made, how I could have been a better person and how I wish I had the ability to go back a fix what I have broken. Whats messed up is that this is exactly the frame of thought that had me going crazy. I neglected the scripture, my daily prayer and thanking God for a few days and it showed. I was detached from my spirit..detached from the now worried about what has happened in the past and what can happen in the future.

The scripture above says...and I am paraphrasing...that we have not been given the spirit of the world but the Spirit of God...to know that things have been given to us FREELY from GOD!

This is what we have and in order to stay in his grace we have to stay in the word and embed it in our hearts...the word should be the constant chatter going on in our minds. The scripture or scriptures you choose to memorize and recite should serve as a reminder that we have been given the blessing and it is not separate from who we are. We only have to search as far as ourselves..our spirits.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (New King James Version)

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct[a] your paths.



Now there are a few people out here reading this post who may be passing judgment and feel a particular way about what I am sharing and how it translates into my real life. Let me say this and be extremely clear...I am not perfect...my walk gets stronger everyday by the grace of God and even though you may hate me...I love you.


So...I'll keep highlighting my bible...keep earmarking the pages and find peace knowing that God has blessed us with his spirit and know that hard times are only temporary..a test of my paitience and faith. When the blessing comes everyone will know and recognize that what has been done could have only been accomplished by God.

God is Great.

A New Start...Amazing Change

It seems like there are no combination of words that can truly describe the magnitude of what just happened with respect to the inauguration of our 44th President Of The United States Barack Obama.In short all I can truly say is that this moment in time is AMAZING!!!

I had the opportunity to be in D.C. for the inauguration and the vibe was electric. I voted for President Obama and I was even at Grant Park for that celebration, however it never truly sunk in until I made it into D.C. Fresh off a twelve hour road trip we head to the capitol. Barackomania was in full force. His picture was everywhere, welcome banners posted all over the city or district..whatever D.C. is,welcoming President Obama and his family to the White House. Vendors are selling everything from Barakonaculars to Obama Pajamas...(Ojamas)...I am not lying about that...lol.

The urban radio station changed its name to Obama radio. Anybody who claims to have any type of fame was there for this moment.

I am so grateful and fortunate to be alive during this time in the history of the world. The moment President Obama was sworn in I was overcome with emotion and the reality of what was happening.

At the risk of sounding cliche I know for sure that anything is possible. This moment in time in my opinion is so much larger than America electing our first black president. This moment speaks to resilience, focus and trust in God.

I know President Obama is the new leader of the United States of America, however God runs this and it is more clear than ever before.
