EDITOR’S NOTES
Crunkatlanta Magazine 2017
Who is Crunkatlanta? I am Eric aka Crunkatlanta & Promotewho.com - The Internet Promoter, the one that is in love with Hip Hop. Follow me on Twitter @crunkatlantaMag . Born and raised in Detroit, MI. Yep, I'm from Seven Mile Rd and GreenfieldWhuddup Doe!! My first inspiration to get involved in the industry was when I found out that nobody heard of any Detroit rappers outside of Detroit ( Michigan). My first gig was with a friend (“T”) that I assisted with promoting Cam’ron back in 1997. From there I found what my purpose was supposed to be. My all time fantasy career was to become a quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Once that dream was cut short from not getting the response back from -tryouts and competition over the years. I became hooked on music and brand marketing. http://www.crunkatlanta.com ( Promo page )

CVSS had the privilege of recording the sure to be hit single with multi-platinum recording artist Karl Wolf. CVSS was born and raised in North Hamilton, Canada. After misguided time spent in the streets and numerous brushes with the law CVSS took a hard look at his life and followed the light of a different path. That path included his passion for music. That passion turned into an obsession and CVSS began making his way into the local music scene. He won multiple championships in freestyle competitions where he connected with seasoned artists in the industry. Serious about his craft and his life, he listened and learned. CVSS began recording, mixing and mastering music for some of those artists, leading to his own music career. Today the multifaceted performer is part of the Rolling Rich Records team, which produced his first released EP "Selfish Ways." CVSS will take his place as one of Canada's most talented and fastest rising Hip-Hop stars with the release of “BANG" .... Be prepared to listen, September 19, 2017.

Bill that he used to attend college in Columbia, where he studied Marketing. His music is direct, punchy and energetic, with a charismatic flow that reminds of the greats of the genre, including Puff Daddy, Master P or Dr. Dre, just to name a few.

This is the rap game Is a whole lot of grief They want the cash Till their career goes down the trash
People shooting at you Drugs polluting you You are living for greed
They want to live the life
See they do not understand
Of a superstar
How long it took
Driving in a new car
You to succeed
In the bar drinking
Everybody wanna lead
Never thinking
But do not have what
Hooked on drugs
They need
Wanting to act like thugs
Lifes going so fast
Running from the police at night
How long do you think
Till they shine the light
The average career is gonna last?
Go to jail
It is a business
Denied bail
Of making them remember Your name So you can get the fame But they claim You are rich But they want you to switch Places with em And start races with em And go the same paces And smile in faces Then they say we put you on top Once your album drop I told them press stop Cut the lies
Get in a fight
Not everybody is built for this
Then say they not being
You can not trust many
Treated right
The root is plenty will envy
Lifes good
And turn into an enemy
When you make it out the hood
God opened up new doors
To Hollywood
Now you going on new tours
Many people wish they could
But you have new problems
The women grinning You think you winning
And money can not solve them
The rims spinning
It can only numb the pain
The people they lost
But everything is fine
Help you maintain
Only in the beginning
But you remain the same
Ask them was it worth the cost?
Staying in beef
By cutting ties With those guys Tell mama that Her house is paid for This is why sacrifices Were made for You think this comes easy Ask Jeezy Or Chris Breezy

Made Man is an artist making his own way in the hip-hop mecca of Atlanta. He’s the perfect combination of street grit and sophisticated Southern charm. The growl of his baritone over the strongest hip-hop trap beats is infectious and accounting for the growth of his audience and online presence daily. After making significant progress with the release of his first single “Big Money” featuring the Migo’s Offset and killing the stage at Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash in Atlanta, Made Man gives us another hit.

A: Finding a single a pushing it to the best of your abilities only because I tried doing it my own way and still end up resorting to the initial advice given which was push a single.

17. How important do you think video is to your music, and how do you produce your videos? A: Very important fans and following likes to see visuals on what they're consuming and gravitating towards. It's important to marketing and promo as well.
18. Is going Platinum or winning a Grammy important to you, and If you were forced to make only one choice, which of the two would you choose and why? A: Yea, both are important to me. But Grammy over platinum the acknowledgement and recognition I think hold more value and you usually don't get one without the other.
19. What in your opinion is the biggest barrier an artist like yourself, has to face and overcome, to gain any commercial success? A: It probably would have to be the acceptance, product, and content..
20. In closing, tell us something about any projects and ideas you have in store or are already working on? A: Be expecting project come early 2018 and just be on the lookout and expecting a lot more from YL Ques work, shows, performances, and appearances.
