I understand
money how it works, how to build compound interest and I see these niggers,
just happy go lucky. I guess rappers were the last to get the memo that we’re
in the midst of a recession, and these fools making it rain, now its dollars,
in 10 years it will be change, literally. You can only stay hot for so long!
Learn about the Wilshire 5000, S&P 500, that’s what real hustlers talk
about, money can work for you, if invested in a hedge or index fund, it’s easy
to get money; it’s hard to keep it.
If you really
moving bricks, and you really in the kitchen whipping up coke and making money,
you would never go in the studio and indict yourself would you? If anything its
dry snitching; if you really are doing it and you rap about, you a fed case in
the waiting! Then you are lying! Watch
the company you keep, Case closed
Life
With the
fires out here in San Diego, where I live, see I'm from Pittsburgh and I ain't
never had to deal with mother nature, we might get a snow blizzard, but not
something smashing ya whole livelihood, one of my wife's best friend lost her
home, and she only got 3 pair of clothes, but she is alive, and that's what
life is about, the importance of family and friends.
I really
appreciate life now more than ever, because it hit so close to home,
the smoke is so bad it covers the cars, like snow, and the air is
bad! but we pushing, one thing I say about San Diego is they got hearts, huge hearts, at
the shelters and churches there were more volunteers than evacuees and
that's "So San Diego"
I'm from the
Da Burgh, but I also got a fan base and way of life out here in California as well, and
with this happening, it makes me wanna go harder, to help heal this region,
thru music!
Its a trip we
had 9/11 in the east, Katrina in the south, and a Firestorm 2007 in the west,
in the last 6 years America has had major things happening, and real talk, life
is short, get every minute back, smile daily, and keep the BS on silence.
You create
your destiny by your thoughts, actions, and traits, time's the only investment
you don't get back, so…how do you spend it? nah mean...until next week this ya

To promote this new album You Don't Work You Don't Eat, I'm doing it different, I have a solid team, with: Jarrot, management, Elwood, booking agent; Shayna, publicist' and I got an silent investor and its a good thing.
I don't have to do it myself, I made a lil bit of noise last year, with My Testimony, I learned about the importance of a marketing plan (which I ain't have) and a solid team, I have the solid marketing strategy.
I read Everything You Wanna Know About the Music Industry, by Donald Passman. I also went to school to learn marketing and finance, its more than just music, I want ignite a youth movement, the theme is You Don't Work, You Don't Eat.
If you look at anything you want to accomplish in life from sports, rap, college degree, losing weight, and even grinding on the block, if you don't put the time and effort into then its all in vain. And the value of having good credit! Credit is very important in life.
Hip-Hop
With Kanye West outselling 50 Cent nearly 3 to 1, that sent a message to record labels that the consumers want positive hip-hop, I like 50 more than I like Kanye, but I'm glad Ye won, because he made his own lane, that was a message that we tired of gangsta rap!
I understand we in the myspace, facebook, youtube age and the youngster want everything fast, kids, hustlers, christians, muslims, all youth, we all one under Hip-Hop understand your buying power.
You, me, we make 50 rich make Jay rich we build their empire, our money build Roc a Fella & G-Unit...Hip-Hop understand your buying power.
50 Cent he can only go down, why because his first album set a standard that can only go downhill, like he now, losing that steam. the people want something new. Enter Tee-Jay.
Finance

for Best Hip-Hop / R & B 2006 Southern California Music Awards
* Top-100 Semi-Finalist
Disc Makers Independent Music World Series
* San Diego City
Beat "Top 100 Unsigned Artists in San Diego"
Tee-Jay’s buzz continues to grow stronger in Pittsburgh,
PA &
San Diego, CA.
He's been featured in the Pittsburgh Post
Gazette, Pittsburgh
Tribune Review, San
Diego Union Tribune, and San
Diego North County Times, continuing his march to the top of the Hip Hop
scene. Tee-Jay’s massive presence on the Internet has attracted many new fans
to his music. Tee-Jay profile on Myspace.com has exploded, being visited in
excess of over 25,000+ times, tracks played over 30,000+ times, and
accumulating 6,000+ "friends" from all over the world.
Prepping this new CD, "You Don’t Work You Don’t Eat” follows up
Tee-Jay’s “Testimony” the CD that caught the attention of the world. National
and International online publications such as Hip-HopKings.com,
sdmusicmatters.com, iheartpgh.com have already co-signed
for Tee-Jay’s music. Local publications have also given the music high praises.
Tee-Jay’s built a cult following in the Pittsburgh
and San Diego
regions.
Pittsburgh-born rapper Tee-Jay
has the hip-hop lingo down pat. But the difference between Tee-Jay and
household names such as 50 Cent and Eminem, he uses no profanity in his
lyrics, has no tattoos, wears no jewelry, yet he still touches the heart of the
ghetto.
Tee-Jay was influenced by streets
at an early age, his Uncle Darrell "The
Kernel" Nelson, was one of Western Pennsylvania
largest drug dealers. Following in the footsteps of his uncle, fast money and
street respect solidified his name in the "Mean Joe Greene" streets
of Pittsburgh.
After witnessing his best friend Marcus "MD" Darden commit suicide, his brother Michael "Mizzy" Givens got life without
parole, and his Uncle Darrell got 20 years in the Feds, Tee-Jay revaluated life
and looked for other options outside of the streets.
His influences are Jay-Z for
business savvy, Dr. Dre for his
track record, and Will Smith for his
positive character. Tee-Jay grew frustrated with the dead-end ways of street
life. He began rapping after having a dream, in which he was told his music
would touch the hearts of today’s youth.
Using music as an outlet to express himself, he recorded an ode to his
hometown called "Da Burgh Strictly."
Selling over 10,000 units, the enormous street buzz of "Da Burgh Strictly"
reached its climax when it caught the ear of major label producer and Pittsburgh
native, Mel-Man, who's worked with Dr. Dre, heard it and invited Tee-Jay to come to Los Angeles
to work with him.
Well-known bad blood between Pittsburgh
neighborhoods reared its ugly head thousands of miles away. Mel-Man, who is from the Hill, decided he could not work
with someone from Hazelwood.
Tee-Jay arrived in California with $4.00
dollars and dream, discouraged but not broken in spirit he quickly began
building a fan base in San Diego via
open mic nights, pressing and distributing his mix-tapes, and word of mouth.
Tee-Jay noticed that outside of his hometown dwelling, he stood apart from
other artists by his originality and charisma.
Fate intervened and Tee-Jay met a
producer named Wild Bill. The two
hit it off instantly, recording My
Testimony, a concept album about life and being in darkness and finding the
light. Tee-Jay wanted to share his
vision of never giving up on your dreams and persistence and character. His
strong emphasis on education, he encourages children to stay in school, stay
off drugs and learn the value having a good credit report.
Preparing his new CD “You Don’t Work
You Don’t Eat” is once again poised to show that Hip-Hop is not dead.
Alongside Tee-Jay are Slim Kaity, Wiz Khalifa, Ruslan of theBREAX,
Lil Slim, Babe Loc. With new production by: Wild Bill, Tee-Jay, Eye Am, Nesia Beatz, Hazmat, Lil Slim, Dub’s Attic, NEF, Dru-Sk1. His buzz has created a global
uproar, and Tee-Jay will continue to take music to a plateau it’s never seen
before.
