I have gone where no "hood" company has gone before. I've come to the point where I shouldn't have to go this far, but I'm tired. I'm tired of fighting,....I'm tired of proving time and time again that I am not touched and I am unmatched. I know what it takes to build and the pieces have to be as strong as the foundation. Over the past 20 months, with the profession of some amazing artists, I have built this foundation that anyone that comes to us, they will be able to plant, seed, water and harvest in whatever capacity and whatever style they want. And I'm about to prove it.
NEW SIGNINGS
Once again,....the first things to do was to strengthen my resources. As anyone knows, I don't approach anyone. I want a person to come to me and want to work with me; whether I want to work with them or not. You have to show me that you want this just as much as I want you to want this. But what you put in is what you will get and these artists that have joined "THE DEN" has just strengthened our organization.
JULIA
Now everyone knows the First Lady of Wayne Management Company, Ms. Synthia "Blak Cheri" Robinson, who is also the President of Black Lion Entertainment Music Group was our only full time R&B performer. Well, after consideration and a number of discussions, I decided to add another few R&B specialists to join Blak Cheri to show our versatility.

I have also added SweetTea Ali, another R&B singer who came to agreement with me a little over 2 months ago. She is in production of her first fully recorded single. From what I've heard from Synthia Robinson, she got something for everybody.

LEADERS OF DA NEW WORLD
How in the world did God bless me and challenge me at the same time is beyond me,.....but only God could've lead me to the only known Mother and Son Rap Duo.

So,....I think I have proven the fact that I belong in this industry. I'm not a "fly by night", nor am I a "wisher". I am well trained, well schooled. Highly skilled in many areas that make me successful. But none more than the fact that all of my artists, not to mention my new Executive team, make me look like a genius. As long as the artists work hard at what they do, I will work even harder to ensure that everyone knows who they are. You called for a storm? Well,....here comes the Thunder.
