These two gentlemen are on my radar. Recently I have been exposed to their work and quickly became a fan.  They may not have the recognition they so deserve but I believe one day the world will take notice.

tre

Name: Tremayne “GS” Johnson

Age: 29

Where he From?  New Rochelle, NY

Where he Stay?  Brooklyn, NY

Who he Be?  Author/CEO, Strip Kidz Entertainment/Rapper

Why is he dope? I always love to see people PROGRESS than DIGRESS and given the cards “GS” was dealt he has played his hand correctly. Regardless to what we face in life it is our responsibility to make the best out of a situation. Tremayne has been in the street life but he did not allow that to bury him.

Currently the CEO of StripKidz Entertainment and Street Literature’s newest Author, Tremayne manipulates his past to secure his future and enlighten people along the way. His first novel “A Drug Dealers Dream” is a gritty tale of choices, wrong decisions and consequences of those who chose the addictive drug game to finance their lifestyles. This book is a great read and will not disappoint!

Tremayne “GS” Johnson is surely someone to look out for – I predict that 2009 will see much success for the homie! or should I say Homme? (that’s french for man – lol)

How can I find Tremayne “GS” Johnson? MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, STRIPKIDZ.

BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO K581 RADIO ON SUNDAY MARCH 15, 2009 @ 9 PM FOR A CANDID CONVERSATION WITH TREMAYNE “GS” JOHNSON!

bibbs

Name: Jon Bibbs

Age: 28

Where he From?  Richmond, VA

Where he Stay? Newport News, VA

Who he Be?  Singer/CEO, The Jon Bibbs Company/Song Writer

Why is he dope?Infamously in a vest (so I’ve heard) Jon Bibbs delivers his heart and soul through his music. I first heard Jon Bibbs live in Richmond, VA and I was blown away by his voice, his stage presence and his song.

Obviously not jaded by the format of today’s popular Hip Hop R&B music, Jon Bibbs (autotune not included) delivers an old soul type feel and markets using the latest web interaction from his KYTE TV to his NING social network. Jon keeps his fans abreast of all his wear abouts (no bathroom footage thank gawd!)

Jon is definitely on the come up and the world will soon be saying his name!
