PUBLISHER’S NOTE

99 Will Never Be Good Enough!

It’s a scientific fact that at 100° C water boils. But what happens at 99° C? The exact same thing that happens at 50°, Absolutely NOTHING! When going part of the way is the equivalent of going nowhere at all, giving anything less than 100% won’t do. When one degree of change is the difference between boiling and simply having a pot of hot water sitting stagnant as it slowly evaporates, 99% is no longer good enough. I use this analogy to

underline that it doesn’t matter how much you do if its possible for you to do more. Its often that one extra contact or song that makes all the difference. It’s going out on the night that you wanted to stay in. It’s upgrading your equipment instead of going to Allstar Weekend. You can return the ball for 99 yards but if you fumble it on the 1 yard line, the officials aren’t going to award you a touchdown for good effort.

4 | Makin’ It Magazine - www.MakinItMag.com

Just close your eyes and think of the sound that a pot of boiling water makes. You can almost hear it bubbling, right? Now close your eyes and think of the sound that a pot of hot water makes. Exactly.... nothing!

Sure it may be hot but its not getting heard. If that situation sounds familiar it’s time to turn up!

Kay-L

Written by Kelby Cannick As a musician what makes you stand out from others that do the same thing? I feel what makes me stand out from the rest is the fact that I really try to create music that will uplift the listener. Every song or every verse is a chance for me to reach another person’s soul.

What are your goals for this project? My goals for this project, are to touch as many lives as possible, I guess we don’t get to chose how popular we become that’s in God’s hands. So i just hope that my music gets to reach as many peoples hearts as possible.

What do you feel is your biggest obstacle in reaching those goals? My biggest obstacle would have to be my anxiousness.

I’m always in a rush to get my music to the people but luckily I have a manager around to ensure that we have a business plan before we release anything.

When did you Realize this is what you wanted to do as a career, explain how? I think I’ve always known that I’ve wanted to do music. But I think a defining moment for me was when I did a Michael Jackson Tribute in high school, and i witnessed the response and the buzz go around the whole city, and it was in those moments that I knew I wanted this.

What are your career goals? My goals for my career are mainly to be remembered as a great artist, who did his best to make the world a better place through music, that may sound cliche, but that’s where my heart lies.

Before we wrap up this interview is there anything that you want to mention? Just the fact that I’ve toured and opened for a ton of major artists like FloRida, Akon, Rihanna and even Snoop Dog. Besides that I just want people to know that I’m the type of artist that’s here to create change and make the kind of music that will resonate in both peoples minds and hearts. Also, I’m looking to network with producers and we’re getting ready to launch a major remix competition for the single “Born to Be”. We’re getting a lot of great sponsors involved, so its definitely going to be a good look for any producer looking for some major media exposure or national radio play.

What projects are you currently working on? I’m just getting some final records finished for my album, we are just starting to really push the first single “Born To Be” When are you looking to have this project completed? It looks like the project will be completed before the end of october.

How long do you plan on promoting this project? I’m not sure exactly how long we will push the album, but there will be a huge press release and big industry push for at least 18 months. We’ll see where the buzz carries us.

What 5 accomplishments are you most proud of so far? Those would probably be.. Getting nominated for a Juno award; Being given the opportunity to tour an amazing country like Jamaica; Opening for Nas; The first time I heard my voice on the radio and of course being featured in Makin’ It Magazine... lol.

What 5 accomplishments would you like to add to that list over the next year?

That’s a tough one but I would say getting another Juno nomination; achieving national radio play (which is in the works right now); touring nationally, to genuinely touch 100,000 people and affect the way they view the world; and last but not least, be able to have my entire family quit their jobs.

Chris Lighty Written by Kelby Cannick

Even though at the time of his passing, your average music consumer had no idea who Chris Lighty was, there isn’t a true fan of hip hop that hasn’t benefited indirectly from his work. As co-founder of Violator Management, Lighty helped drive the careers of some of our favorite artists including Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Diddy and Mariah Carey.

Lighty died at the age of 44 from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. In the wake of such news, which seem tragically reminiscent of the passing of Def Jam Senior Vice President Shakir Stewart four years prior, the hip hop community mourned.

In effort to understand these events, conversations began to focus on his divorce, finances, and tax debts but as someone who’s Sadly on August 30, 2012, a career spanning been affected by suicide personally nothing more than 20 years came to an abrupt end as could ever bring that decision into focus.

In this fast paced industry, appearances are everything. Even at their lowest people feel the need to “put on” and keep up the facade.

There is no room to show weakness or waning. But at our lowest, in an effort to keep up appearances we rob those closest to us of the opportunity to be a true friend; to listen to our problems; to help lift us up and show us how loved and appreciated we are. Food for thought... In this hustle to be successful don’t forget to be human.

Al Biggz Written by Kelby Cannick

With his new single “Wait For It” featuring Alley Boy making its rounds on the Atlanta mixtape circuit, Al Biggz is diving back into the game. As we set down to discuss the music industry, Al jokes that everyone at some point in time has aspired to become an entertainer. For the Techwood (Atlanta) rapper, this marks his second go in the industry. Sharing that he made a halfhearted pursuit some years back, he admits that he never gave it his all.

Though not 100% dedicated to music, Al was still able to build an impressive resume of accomplishments that few artists (even those giving 100%) can claim. Packaging an African Rap trio with a completed album, video and marketing materials, he made his way through Africa and France promoting them until landing a $300k deal which he used to start his own label in the states. Releasing his first independent album, “THE REBIRTH 1271” with his brother K. Rich, he collaborated with notable artists such as Birdman, Jazze Pha, Bone Crusher, Rico Love, MJG, 8Ball, Nivea, Big Gee and even Jason Weaver.

Looking to further expand his brand, he participated in major events and branched out into television. He would soon start a weekly music video program on WB 36 called HOT VIDS hosted by then Hot 97.5 radio personality Ramona Debreaux.

Even to this day, people in Atlanta still talk about him giving away a 442 Chevy on stage at Birthday Bash 10.

Having already accomplished so much, we were confused as to what Al considered giving it 100%. When asked, he explained, “Yeah... I invested time and money and did a lot of big [stuff] but I can honestly say I wasn’t really passionate about the music.

It was just something I was good at and another way to make money. It wasn’t until last year that something sparked inside me and I began really writing again. It was different from before though. I didn’t want to just rap or make songs. It was more competitive. I wanted to be the best. I wanted to make classics. I developed a drive to outdo myself every time I wrote or recorded. Until then I probably would’ve said that I had gave it 100% because I didn’t know what 100% felt like. Now I do and thats where the name for my new mixtape came from. I called it ‘BRUNCH’ because I feel like a chef sent to “serve up these wack ass rappers over banging beats!”

Look out for Al Biggz upcoming mixtape release, “BRUNCH” hosted by DJ Smallz. Scheduled to hit LiveMixtapes this Thanksgiving. For booking and information contact Never Fold Entertainment at NeverFoldEnt@yahoo.com www.youtube.com/TheRealAlBiggz www.twitter.com/TheRealAlBiggz

Lil Wayne Better Than Jay-Z? 16 | Makin’ It Magazine - www.MakinItMag.com

Follow us on twitter: @MakinItMag

Over the past couple of years there has definitely been some jabs back and forth between Lil Wayne and Jay-Z regarding the title of “Best Rapper Alive”. This is an argument that has sparked many barbershop debates and highlighted the generational gap in Hip Hop. While I find myself on the side of the fence leaning more toward Hov, an objective look at the facts gives a clear and decisive win to Lil Wayne.

1. Lets start by giving credit where credit is do. Jay-Z wins hands down on raw lyricism. He’s been at it longer and unlike Wayne (who has been in the industry since age 15), Jay-Z has lived a fuller life which gives him a wider range of experiences to draw on.

2. The point can be made that Jay-Z’s stage show relies heavily on his personal brand, Unlike Wayne who gives a high energy Rock-and-Roll-esque performance. If you were to put the two in front of a crowd that had no Idea who they were, in the area of showmanship

Jay Harris Atlanta, GA

“Im a have 2 say Jay z is my favorite rapper with the likes of krs1 & da gawd Rakim so in my eye hov wins.. on the other note Wayne built a stronger brand & definitely is a bigger influence on the youth who will argue you to death Wayne is the best rapper alive .. I hear the rapper with the most money wins but I can’t walk in the bank with either one so I can’t agree with that notion ,I will say “ I can listen to 98% of Jay z’s catalog vs the 60% of Wayne” Jay z is the best in that case. Both are credible rappers & both are needed in this art form so like what you like an let’s keep the art alive.”

Wayne walks away with the win.

3. Some have made the argument that wayne is a more well rounded musician able to not just deliver a hot sixteen but a complete record, hook and all.

From singing to playing guitar, he gives the impression that he is willing to go against convention for the sake of art.

On the other hand, any such move from Jay-Z seems like a calculated move to strengthen market position or make money (Grey Album, Collision Course, etc) .

4. Andre 3000 said it best. Rap is a young man’s sport and I would have to say that Lil Wayne is directly in tune with the market unlike Jay-Z who maintains relevance via the artists and producers he works with.

With all these points made every hardcore Jay-Z always takes it back to the point that Jay-Z has more money but if thats what we’re judging by then Diddy is a better MC than both. Jay-Z is a great artist and a strategic business man

Lil Lyss Los Angeles, CA

“Wayne now is a thousand times better than Jay-Z, at least he gets on some pretty nice beats. 10 years ago Jay Z had some great hits and he was in my top 10 rappers, but now he just raps over some random noises which I don’t like. Now many of you would say the lyrics are more important than the beat but guess that’s not true. Most people just want to listen to some catchy melody, nice bass, some good flow and Lil’ Wayne got all of that. Not saying that 100% of Wayne’s songs are bangers but most of them are. Well but nothing would ever compare to Dr. Dre’s or Scott Storch’s production, no matter who raps over it PERIOD.”

but when it comes to running a Label I would have to give that to Lil Wayne as well. Never in the history of rap has the #1, 2 and 3 act been on a single label (Certainly not in the History of Rocafella). Looking at the Young Money roster, you have Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj all under one roof while artists like Lil Twist, Tyga and even Lil Chuckee that still get their respective shine. Even looking back on Rocafella records the top performing acts were all brought in by Dame (Beans, Cam, Kanye, etc). So when it comes to being a mogul or just plain lyrics I’m going to give it to Jay all day but when it comes to being an entertainer and building a strong camp Wayne can’t watch the throne because he’s sitting on it.

“Well in my opinion they both have been in the game for a hot minute and individually bring their own unique styles. Hov brings that Eastcoast flavor and Weezy brings the Southern flavor. Why must we always put our artists (Black Artist) up against one another. There’s enough room for all good music. Lets just listen and enjoy!!!”

Hollywood So Fly Cincinnati, OH

“In terms of lyricism, Lil Wayne wins hands down. He can beat any rapper in a freestyle battle because he has punch lines that most people wouldn’t even think of. I respect Jay Z because he raps about real life experiences, he’s original, and his flow is sick, but Lil Wayne would show him

who’s really boss if they ever went head-to-head.”

MERS3 Norfolk, VA

“I like them both. Jay-z was out there first but that doesn’t mean he is better than lil Wayne. They both have their on styles of rap.

So I say I like lil Wayne & jay-Z ;)”

O-Fasho South Carolina

“Lil Wayne will be far better than Jay-Z when he becomes Jay-Z’s age. Lil wayne lyrics are untouchable and witty, he makes you think . Jay-Z’s flow is legendary he has the a control flow. LIL wayne has his business tie on with Trukfit,Deweezy (mountain dew),etc. And he just got out of jail not even a year yet.”

ALL In ENT Written by Kelby Cannick

Its been almost two years since we were first introduced to All In Entertainment CEO, Young Meech, but after hearing his group’s latest single “Upside Down” we had to track him down for a follow up interview. With the label’s lead group, All In, spread out across the country they’ve been busy branding their unique sound which blends flavors from Alabama, Illinois and Atlanta to create an infectious style that has no regional boundaries. A point well illustrated by the recent collaboration with East Coast DJ Ron G to complete their latest mixtape project, “Playing The Cards We Were Dealt”.

Since last we spoke, the group has been busy with Television and Radio campaigns while performing throughout the Southeast and Mid-

west. They’ve also managed to secure coverage in several major websites and magazines while also being featured on various major mixtape releases. Their latest single “Upside Down” was recently featured on volume 7 of our Who Got Hits mixtape series, which was released nationally online and distributed at Atlanta’s top strip clubs including Strokers, Magic City, Onyx, etc. The record has been receiving a good reception from the DJs and an even stronger one from the dancers.

Over the next six months they plan to build on the momentum the record has produced organically and generate some national attention in hopes of securing, at the very least, a single deal which will allow them the platform to introduce the labels full roster. Aside from the

group, All In, which is comprised of Mr. Haterproof (Rapper), Maserati (Rapper) and Bigg Breed (Rapper/ Producer) the All In Entertainment family also includes three additional acts, T.O.D. (Turnup Or Die), Yana, and Young Pro.

Mike Will Written by Kelby Cannick

A little over two years ago we had the pleasure of introducing our readers to Mike Will, an independent producer who was making a lot of noise on Atlanta’s underground scene.

Two years later, he now has two records on Billboard’s Top 20 Rap chart (#1 - No Lie by Drake Feat 2Chainz and #11 Bandz a Make Her Dance by Juicy J). When we first introduced you to him we included his direct phone number and email address and advised you all to network with him. For those of you who didn’t, thats just one in a long line of opportunities you’ve missed. Every issue of Makin’ It Magazine includes 100+ phone numbers and emails for artists and producers who have gone on to get signed, produce major records and even win Grammys. If this is your first issue, just think about this little fact as you skim over the many Artists, Producers and Industry Professionals featured in this issue. Only the most serious individuals make it to the pages of Makin’ It Magazine so when you see an email or phone number use it. Remember you’re either NETworking or you’re NOT working!
