The World's Most Interesting Man. Some would say they miss the old guy that was always dressed in suits and told tall tales. But to those that know Keeng Cut know that he we wasn't even close. Keeng Cut, artist, entrepreneur, and also most would say trend-setter. But even that would be an understatement to his influence and cultural impact. Nearly a year ago he introduced the world to Flavio Cûtore, a smooth, fly, and debonair who is polar opposite to the rapping Keeng Cut. But now with the release of Keeng Cut's latest release "Stay Flavored My Friend", Keeng Cut learned that both could co-exist on the same project and if anything else it would be fully flavor!
Richer. The first track is like an ode to Keeng Cut's progression that he and his friends have all been apart of and have also themselves progressed. Long-time collaborator Trak delivers a smooth vocal for the chorus that lays the groundwork for the theme of the track. Also featured is Co2 Da Great. Co2 Da Great is a veteran, and it's with his knowledge and wisdom that he lends some dope quotables to the track. "Turned 4 and a baby to a E.I.N. They can't do it how I do it, cause I do it times 10." Also Keeng Cut lays down arguably his best verse on the EP. The 3rd verse of the track is like the perfect VERSE. I say that capitalized. bolded, underlined, and italicized. The timing is impeachable and flows seamlessly with the transitions of the beat. His wordplay and metaphors are so on topic that it's literally a blueprint to success. It leaves the listener feeling like. Damn. This is only the first track. No warning Huh? I'm Up. The 2nd track of the EP is more upbeat and is the perfect motivational track. It reminds me of that summertime grind. The feeling of let's go! Whether that's working out our just motivating you to get out of bed and going to work, this track will get you hype! It's hard not to get caught up by the beat's bounce and the track's catchy hook. This is Keeng Cut in his element. His signature "Opps, oopps, opps" ad-lib is the flawless victory to another hit for Keeng Cut, but this victory is not to be celebrated before DIALTONE is tagged in. DIALTONE brings his own delivery to the track and (also his artwork is featured in the cover art.) His flow is unorthodox and unpredictable like when the euro-step was when it was first introduced to the NBA. Nobody knew how to defend it, or if it was legal. But it always got the job done. And this is what DIALTONE does. Gets the job done. And who shows that it's more than one way to score or in this case grind. "Better buy you some bitcoin and sit on it. Get off the pot or you gon shit on it" Hearthrob. This is where Keeng Cut and Flavio Cûtore prove that they both can co-exist on the same project. This is undoubtedly a Flavio Cûtore featuring Keeng Cut track. The slow smooth tempo and playa singing is Fully Flavio, as his voice can be heard off into the distance of the track. It's subtle, and intentional that he let the listener's minds finish the words rather them him. Then like a switch Keeng Cut lays a tightly wealved 8 bars reminding listeners that he can rap rap. "I make all the necessary moves. I paid all the necessary dues." Stay Flavored My Friend is short at just 3 songs. But not in a bad way. It's like fine dining. You get high quality and full flavor, but not so much portion that it fills you up. The EP leaves the listener wanting more. Even the songs, especially Hearthrob. This is what makes Keeng Cut the World's Most Interesting Man. He can pack soo much flavor into such a short project and create an experience that leaves the listeners wanting more. This is undobtedly the Appetizer to the album that everyone is waiting on. But in the meantime. STAY FLAVORED MY FRIEND!

We are back! Your favorite podcast "Tulsa Lines Podcast" with another guest comedian\entrepreneur Demetrius "Juice" Deason. He's recently partnered with Russell Westbrook and Tyler Locket to bring to Tulsa the Why Not? comedy show that will be here July 11 at the Cain's Ballroom. We were excited to sit down with him and get the rundown on the event. The interview is streaming on all podcast platforms. Check it out below:
Thanks again to Demetrius "Juice" Deason make sure you checkout his comedy show and also follow him on social media: Instagram: @iamjuicemann Twitter: @iamjuicemann  Be true to your word because your word is your bond. Your word is all you have after you take away the cars, the houses, the jewels, and the money. Most importantly your word is what you are remembered by. Some of the greatest thinkers and leaders are more remembered for their words then what they accomplished. The power of words have been known to start the bloodiest of wars, while also having the power to crown a victor without a single bullet being fired. So when it comes to music it's no wonder why artists make millions of dollars. The power of song lyrics especially in rap music has started wars as well as created social change. Nipsey Hussle was a gift to us all. He did so much during his short time here. His lyrics to inspire is what made one of the biggest impacts in music. And it's his lyrics that will help keep his spirit alive. One of the greatest things about the internet is the ability to look at any artist's lyrics. The site Genius (formerly known as Rap Genius) takes it a step forward and allows annotations and interpretations from fans who sign up to contribute to the site. The Wikipedia of music lyrics if you will. But what happens when these lyrics are flat out wrong? Usually another contributor can edit the lyrics putting the right lyrics in. This is exactly what I found with Nipsey Hussle's "Stay Loyal" Interlude. The very end of the track Nipsey goes into a speech about Mailbox money, but looking at the lyrics it's a clear misquote that the original contributor has written. Not only that, the author fails to even finish the rest of the speech. See the originally posted lyrics below: What's the intention what's cool, whats braggin rights? How could someone so egregiously get his words wrong? Where was the check and balance? I admittedly am human and have made mistakes when transcribing lyrics on this very site, but usually someone hits me up and says I made a mistake and in most cases it's updated by the end of the day. So when seeing this flat out wrong lyrics I took it as my personal mission to make sure that Nipsey's words were as they were spoken. Here's what Nipsey really said. But, what's the intention? Not only was this part of the interlude wrong, but the whole interlude was wrong. Even more there were numerous people posting about how wrong these lyrics are. Here is the whole interlude in it's entirety. Feel free to tell us about any errors. You know, Why does this matter soo much? Because in a world where your word is your bond. In a world where you are remembered by what you say. This means everything. For Mailbox Money this one part summed up the economic model of what the record company have been doing for years to artists. Giving artists an advance, while they wait to pay themselves on the backend with the equity that the artist's album sales and merchandise. OR as Nipsey said "Its hip hip". I have yet to get a response or see any sort of change. You think I'm gonna give up. Naw. This a Marathon.
I need your help in contacting Genius to help get these lyrics right. Here is the page to the lyrics: https://genius.com/Nipsey-hussle-stay-loyal-lyrics Please help us by tagging Genius in all your social media to get this corrected. Every Tweet, Facebook post, Instagram .Comment/Post helps.  In Hip Hop being an entrepreneurship is what is your foundation. Long before the Gary Vaynerchuck's came along and made entrepreneurship cool. Hip Hop was paving the way. Independent artists like Master P have told stories of selling $500,000 worth of tapes out of the back of their trunks. Something that has now been re-categorized as "Pop Up Shops". This entrepreneurial spirit has now spread across the world as many workers are finding that with stagnating incomes and rising costs of living that having a separate side hustle is no longer a nice-to-have, but a life line. It's with this new knowledge that from rappers, to actors, to everyday workers are finding ways to BOSS UP. Rick Ross is one artist who known for his signature "Boss" ad-lib, but he is also known for his real life boss moves as an owner, brand ambassador, and investor. Rick Ross shows how he has taken everything he's learned from the hard knocks and applied it to business meetings high atop New York sky risers. Watch this episode of "Side Hustle" as Rick Ross talks about how he has "Boss'd Up". If this inspired you to want to start a business join our mastermind group. COMING SOON. - Updates coming in NEWSLETTER so SIGN UP. If you know a BOSS that you want to see interviewed let us know.  Sports have a crazy way of instilling core values that you might ever notice until you are truly tested. Sprinkled inbetween the 100-yard sprints and the agility drills are core life lessons. It teaches you what's your breaking point, as well that you have the ability to go further than you ever thought you could go. You learn discipline. You learn commitment. You learn brotherhood. And most of all you learn about yourself. Demetrius "Juice" Deason is an athlete who has been through thousands of drills. Ran thousands of 100-yard sprints. And has had these core values tested. All these things helped him become a star collegiate athlete. But what he didn't realize is that even after his basketball career had ended that he had been training for a completely different stage his whole life. And the spotlight couldn't be any brighter.

For many years the producer was a behind the scenes role that was always there but never quite got the notoriety that was as equal as the artist. Fast forward to 2019 and you'll see a completely different musical landscape where the producer shines just as bright as any artist or any business mogul. SeriouslyK5ive is an producer with a slew of hits and a catalog that has reached across the world and back. Meet the man behind the hit single "2U".
Click here to get to know SeriouslyK5ive...  Beethoven's 5th Symphony. No composition musically has compared to this piece of art. The first 4 notes are as recognizable as the golden arches that sit high above approaching cars signaling that McDonald's is near. The visual that these golden arches give McDonalds are the same visual that these note give the Beethoven's 5th Symphony. In just 4 notes the listener's brain is able to process and unfile a memory of the song. It's the first 4 notes of SoufWessDes's song "Tap In" that has the potential to make the this song just as recognizable. The main difference being that SoufWessDes is the conductor of the symphony and is making the whole world "Tap In". 
Commercials are all around us. We listen to them in cars on the radio and on Spotify. We watch them on TV and on YouTube. The most interesting part is that over half of these commercials have some type of music. Sometimes popular chart-selling music and sometimes just a simple jungle, but nonetheless it's still music. Brands recognize that music is needed to help market their products, and nothing has proven to have better results than incorporating rockstars. Let's face it. What's better than being perceived as being friends with a rockstar? And don't forget the crazy yacht parties. Zack Thrash has a song called "Rockstar" that has the potential to be commercially in a commercial.  Spark. Is a very complex concept. The perfect variables have to happen for such a relatively small thing to happen. Even more interesting is that spark can be both a negative and a positive. Spark a fire,and it means destruction, it means pain. But spark a mind and the light can be so bright that it can help heal the destruction caused by the former. OmaleyB's track "Kerosene" is the spark that has the power to change the history of a city. |
