Atlanta, GA (Jan. 3, 2014) -- Art, music, & food showcase helps Atlanta’s creative community refresh their creative juices in the new year to be held on Saturday Jan. 4, 2014 from 9PM until 2AM at R&B/Jazz singer & songwriter, b.s1m0ne’s exclusive location, thebsmnt, featuring Tyehimba “Black Gzus” Toure.

Presented by Creative Culture Collective at thebsmnt’s secret location (guests will be asked for a password), the art, poetry, and music event will take place near Atlanta’s famous East Atlanta Village. This is one of many ways Creative Culture Collective’s new ‘C-Sun’ is taking charge in the independent artist and open-mic sector, supporting independent artists through a fresh, new, and creative platform that enhances marketing, networking, and performance skills. Founder of Creative Culture Collective, Nefertiti and the nefTUNES says, “I always viewed the Creative Culture Collective, as well as my own art, as a ministry. Chuuuch is going to make that connection between doing your passion and praising your creator, recognizing your source.”
Chuuuch is a chance for Creative Culture Collective enthusiasts and friends to inspire their creative passion in remarkably fresh, new, and exciting forms. The event also showcases the ‘best of the best’ from Creative Culture Collective’s Open Mic Fridays at Jamaica Flava, the now defunkt Decatur, GA restaurant & lounge. As a published author, who was featured in Chapter 1 of The Sync Book, Toure, a college dropout, also lectures college students in statistics, as well as other disciplines, sharing his expertise at finding patterns and synchronicities in our everyday lives, cultures, and industries. As ‘Blak Gzus’ says, “Medium is message. Message is medium.”
Presiding over the ‘services’, Artist, Spiritual Advisor, and de facto CCC Artist Liason, Cindy “MOreEssence” Stephen will host ‘scccripture reading’ by Nykeria Chaney (Author, Poet, Playwright, Founder, Cre8tive Nsights Productions; Author, Beyond Betrayal) , a ‘word from our ccchoir’ with Monica Raye Simpson ft. the nefTUNES (Vocalist; Songwriter; Executive Director, SisterSong, Reproductive Justice Collective), and the ‘Prophecccy’ from Poet, Philosopher, Web Developer, and Published Author, Tyehimba “Blak Gzus” Toure. DJ Najj Marlee is spinning the 1’s & 2’s. The night promises to be a fulfilling Saturday night-out with food, drinks, entertainment, information, and laughter to remember for years to come. Special Invited Motivational Speakers, Lakara Foster (She Speaks! Inc) and Haziq Ali (Get Rich Radio) are expected to make an appearance, sharing their know-how and promoting their motivational books and material.

Music Industry How To
As you may or may not know, I do a lot of research on the music industry. It really gives me an edge when I'm looking to grow my brand or expand my marketing skills. There are many resources out there, and I use a lot of them. Here's one of my favorites. I hope it starts you on the very fulfilling path to music business know-how.
It's called Music Industry How To and it's all about being your guide to the music industry.
One of my favorite posts was this one called "Revealed: Why Gaining Fame and Making Money Require Different Strategies". It really opened my eyes to the fact that, for the majority of my music career, my focus had been on gaining fame, yet I wondered why I'd find myself with a substantial amount of moral support and an astounding lack of financial stability.
Visit the site. There are lots of links and articles that will lead you to more music industry knowledge, if you are willing to take the advice given.

The Artist's 99%
record companies used to give artists money to make records, now they want artists to give them records to make them (the labels) money. you prove, first, that you can make records that sell. we'll take those records that were already selling, repackage, and resell them and give you less money-per-record than you were already making selling your independently produced, marketed and promoted project on your own, but now there's this major label logo on it, and we've added a couple tracks from today's hottest super-producers so we deserve 99% of everything you do in life, ever. #sharecropping

3 Music Giveaways and some stories
I recently had a young woman that i had just met tell me that I was old and I looked like i #dunndunnitall, and I thought about this.
And I said to myself, first, and then to the young woman, 'You know what? You're right.' and that was when i really began to reflect on my life's experience.
strange as it is, it really has covered a lot of ground for me.
I wouldn't say I could handle just anything, but i would say, at this point, it would take a whoooole lot to shock me. #shockG
Never dabble in the darkness with someone who lives there, it's a slow dance to death with the devil. Few have made it out alive. None will see that the outcome of the deal you signed, sealed in time while you dined and sipped fine wine was a lie. I won't say you're the devil. I'm not here to judge you, but I will say that you are a liar. i will also say that 'they' say 'the devil is a liar'. So, that's what will say.
the next 10 persons to like this page *tonight* get 3 (count 'em, 3!) musical downloads of your or my choice. if you want to choose, send me a message on the Nefertiti aka nefTUNES i'll send you to a page where you can hear all the songs available and send your choices back to me. i send you the codes and #boom. #yougotnefTUNES. #instructionsincluded
Tempted to remind this brother and his girlfriend that the library policy is two patrons per computer. If he moves any closer to her, he's going impregnate and #babymakesthree. — at Dekalb County Public Library.
ingredients in a straw-ber-rita: alcohol and red. that is all.
some people get intimidated when you show them what they could be if they would be just a little more better by being just a little more better yourself. What they don't know (or don't show) is what it takes to be that. They don't know your life, son/daughter. They don't know why there's so much pep in your stride, especially when they've tried and tried to lie and change the story up at the last minute to make it seem like 'it's just business'. #funnythingis If they was handlin' it, then we wouldn't be in a predicament such as this is. #hollaifyahearme #rantandramble
This movie is about the creation and destruction of napster. extremely dope in how it captures the true influence of the world's first decentralized file sharing system. it basically changed the world. it changed the world right at the turn of the century.

saggin' spelled backwards is niggas.
saggin' spelled backwards is niggas.
interesting point made in this image. to it, i'd like to pose a few questions.
If they took us so seriously then, then what happened?
"What's the difference between a conspiracy and a strategy?" -Former IRS Agent
Did we just stop and say, 'Ok. Civil Rights. Check. Cool to sag my pants and grow some dreads now.'?
Or did "they" take us seriously enough as we're postured in the first photo to feel as if we posed an actual threat to the stability of race-based capitalism in this country?
Could strategy through marketing, sabotage, infiltration, psychology, addiction affliction and God knows what else have led us to believe that we'd accomplished enough in voting, labor, and leisure to loosen our belts, so much so that now our pants are sagging (as the second row so vividly depicts)?
Did "they" take us so seriously that "they" presented images of us in an unfavorable light, including a slanderous image of the man who happens to be the centerpiece of the first photograph?
i'm not blaming "them" for the difference in these photos. we could blame time if it makes for good tv. i'm not interested in playing a blame game. Without catalyst, provocation or reason, i have never observed a cultural change that drastic take place.
i'm sure a snapshot of what we looked like when "they" first saw us and took us seriously enough to snatch us up looks vastly different from all three of these pictures of blackness. #thinkonthat
not funkn' with this guy (Shaka Zulu)
Oh, and stop giving "them" so much credit. It's just a coincidence that saggin' backwards spells niggas, no one is that diabolical...or are 'they'?
