Since March of last year, I’ve been trying to create great music and a unique sound with my brother @gsharpbeatz. In the process, I’ve gotten some press coverage (@1111cr3w, @thesource), signed to one of the best music & sports management teams (@entourage), worked with two heavy hitter producers & engineers (@judahusedtomakebeats, @jake.vicious), and collaborated with one of the best vocalists on the rise that was on season 20 of NBC’s The Voice (@ainaemusix) as well as two of the best rappers/producers in the game (@jeck_da_general, @cranklucas). It’s been a blessing to rock with them and it only gets better from here. August 28th… “DC’s United: Pen-Ultimate” is the next level. From DC… to the world. by @dcnative86

8 years ago, I was blessed to work with insanely talented and highly accomplished artists @iamelijahharvey, @cranklucas and @kentondunson. This moment largely set me on the path I’m on now. I’m forever grateful to have been on this song with them. Shoutout to @iamladyredz for the amazing visuals and @jake.vicious for ALWAYS putting a vicious mix on every song. #DMV by @dcnative86

Thanks to @ainaemusix, @lbee_music, @jeck_da_general and @cranklucas for blessing the songs y’all were on. And thanks to @kountfif for mixing and mastering “Carpe Diem”, “Feeling Stronger” and “Break Bread”. I mixed “Game Changer”, “Ready 2 Luv” and “The World Could Be Yours”. From DC… to the world.

EVENT RECAP: The DMV Industry Radar Showcase was a success on a lot of levels. @keyz_socialplug, @deejaynoris and I had a vision to create this platform to help elevate our music scene and connect our audience, artists & music executives. Thankfully, we had some amazing folks that helped make the experience possible.

Thank you @mixxeddc for hosting our event. Great customer service, great food & drinks and an overall great atmosphere. Y’all got something special there. 💯💪🏾

Thank you to @ainaemusix, @liesl_michelle, @therealbryanblake and @cdspt for showing up and showing out!!! Y’all absolutely killed y’all performances and it was an honor to rock with y’all.

Thank you to @yesimdebbie, @judahusedtomakebeats, @iamelijahharvey and @mrx1time for lending y’all support, encouragement and knowledge. Y’all have laid the foundation for this to even be possible and we intend to help make our music scene bigger and better right along with y’all.

Thanks to @hollywoodizme for providing the soundtrack for the evening. Thanks to @hoodroachtv for capturing the magic that evening and making this dope highlight reel. 💪🏾💯

And last but definitely not least… thanks to everyone that bought a ticket to be in attendance and show love. Without y’all… none of this would be possible at all. Much love!!!

Now… let’s run it back!!! The next showcase will be on Saturday December 5th, so stay tuned for more details!!! And this time, we will have our new partner @iambonni3 with us helping to take this to the next level. We’re just getting started. 💪🏾💯🔥 by @dcnative86

Thank you to @dcnative86 and the team for having me out at DMV Industry Radar.

Dope to see some new talent and some faces that I haven't seen in a decade plus.

S/O to @therealerbanking . Great seeing you. It's been a minute.

Great reconnecting with @bettaman202 . One of the original members of Chocolate City Records. One of the original street rap labels from the 90s and early 2000s.

It was dope seeing @therealbryanblake perform for the first time. Slim is talented, sharp and professional. He's on his way.

Thank you for @mixxeddc for a great atmosphere and strong $12 drinks. 😂 taken in Adams Morgan by @dcnative86
