Benjamin Franklin said if you fail to plan.  You are planning to fail.  Hans Ramsey is a man with a plan.   He has approached his life calculating the outcome before any move is made.  Native of the Bronx he has leaned on his natural leadership skills to move his life forward. A leader listens to wise counsel and follows through with plans as they are created.  He played the game of football with the goal of becoming a pro.  He began playing with the co-op city league which set him on that path.  Although his high school had no football program.  When it came time for college he followed through with an introduction and found his way to Morgan State University. As a Morgan State football player his leadership skills enabled him to help his team to the 1979 MEAC collegiate championship.  This made this dream of becoming a pro player more clear. That ability to plan, his confidence in his ability as a player and leadership skills allowed him to press forward and approach the NFL as a free agent in the draft.  His calculated plan got him signed in 1983 right after the draft by the NY Jets.  Something that rarely happens. But injury prevented him from continuing his career and he had to create a plan to move forward from bus driver, mentor, to investment advisor, and senior regional leader at one of the largest investment organizations in the country. Han Ramsey a man with a plan.  Join us to learn more (516) 418-5778

“Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food” is more than just a notion for those living with an autoimmune disease. Camille Rose knows this all too well. Having been diagnosed in 2009 with Multiple Sclerosis, a drastic change to her lifestyle was in order for the newlywed and financier. Exercise, healthy eating, and education soon became her new normal.

After much research for alternative solutions to help with different symptoms she was experiencing, she began practicing the Autoimmune Protocol.

Kool & the Gang, officially launched in 1969, after performing for five years under various band titles, has influenced the music of three generations and, at the age of 49, the band has become true recording industry legends.

Thanks to iconic songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness, and Open Sesame, they’ve earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits, and 31 gold and platinum albums.

From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang has performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time. A reviewer recently called their performance “a 24-karat show” and every year, even after a half-century on the road, yields a non-stop schedule of shows across the globe.

Kool is the man at the helm of the group with a sound that has influenced the music of three generations.  Mr. Bell will be with us to discuss how his music continues to leave an impression on millions of music listeners today and for decades to come.

As Hip Hop evolves, the players change. Amidst scores of budding artists in the genre resides a fresh crop of super talents that catch one’s ear and eye. At the forefront of this cohort is INDICA, who is creating an unparalleled buzz with his infectious style and sound. There is no doubt that this gifted Twenty-something, who is shaking up the industry with enchanting Hip Hop offerings, boasts an awesome future.  

2018-19 has proved to be a sizzler for The INDICA to put it mildly, culminating with the Los Angeles Hip Hop artist/rapper inking an EP, distribution and marketing deal with legendary Hip Hop label Tommy Boy Records. Indica wasted no time in dropping a series of singles, including  “INTOXICATED” from his debut EP on Tommy Boy Records -- titled "RETROMODERN" which was released March 29, 2019. This effort, produced and mixed by Andrew Luce, is inspired by 80's movies like the cult classic "Scarface" and millennial fav, "Tron".

As one of music's most innovative stars, INDICA has scored all year long, cranking out a myriad of new projects.  Solo bangers, funky collaborations, visuals and performances made Indica a hit! And his highly rated “RAGERS” project capped off the year quite nicely. Known by his fans and admirers as the "Aesthetic GOD,” INDICA provided the psychedelic visual for “Hendrix” (Directed by INDICA and shot and edited by Albert Acosta) and dropped an amazing line up of collabos with the likes of producer Andrew Luce, Grace Gunn and Croosh, unquestionably elevating his Iit factor.

The unchanging face – and voice – of singer/songwriter Cassandra Lucas is back on the music scene in 2017, gifting listeners with three new hit singles, paving the way for her solo debut CD.  Known as one-half of platinum selling R&B duo Changing Faces, she has returned to claim her rightful position as one of today's top music talents.

Hailing from East Harlem in New York City, Lucas always loved to sing, as a kid.  She enjoyed watching “Soul Train” on television with her Dad, leading her to attend the East Harlem Performing Arts school, where the singing bug bit her and her favorite music teacher, Mr. Kurt Faucette, helped her nurture her voice, honing her craft by singing in the gospel chorus and performing in musical plays.  He taught Cassandra her first classical song, which she sang in order to get into the renowned “Fame” school in New York, the La Guardia High School of Performing Arts.  That is where she met, and later teamed up with, another local talent, Charisse Rose.  The two performed as backup singers for popular R&B vocalist Sybil, prior to stepping out on their own, forming Changing Faces and becoming a hit-driven, dynamic duo, scoring hits such as “Stroke You Up,” “Foolin' Around” and “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T,” throughout the mid 90's to the early 2000's.  Their debut self-titled CD hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Charts and throughout their notable career, sold millions of records, with 3 singles in the Top Ten on the Billboard Charts, which is rare for a vocal duo.

Now that's just a little bit on Ms. Lucas.  If you want to learn more or hear more, join us (347) 637-2319 and press 1.

It appears that gun violence has spiraled out of control in a manner that we can't seem to harness.  We often believe that offering youth an outlet in the form of afterschool programs a viable solution to all the negative circumstances they encounter daily.  But what happens when the harbingers of good faith face the circumstances they are trying to prevent the youth in the community from.  This is "How A Triple-Shooting Sparked the Love-Not-Hate Movement In East Orange" came to be.

Deborah and Dy-Shawn Simpkins were committed to providing kids with alternative to street violence.  The New Jersey couple's after-school programs and day care centers have created safe havens for over 650 Irvington kids annually for the past 9 years.  However, their lives were changed when their son and nephew were killed in an East Orange shooting.

For urban contemporary listeners and music critics alike; there is no doubt which R&B artists deserve a place among the greatest of all time. Freddie Jackson mastered the art of chart domination during the mid to late 80's, and today continues proving his distinction as one of the Top 50 Greatest R&B Singers (Billboard 2017). The proof is in the phenomena: a Billboard chart resume that boasts 18 songs in the Top 10 with 10 songs rocketing to #1, a 3x Grammy Nominee, and an American Music Award winner. The Harlem native's star first appeared on the horizon in 1985, after releasing his debut album, Rock Me Tonight (Capitol Records). Before that, life appeared ordinary enough behind the scenes with a word processing job, train rides to do session work and backup singing gigs throughout New York nightclubs. Despite a brief stint at the start of the 80's on the west coast, as lead with the R&B band Mystic Merlin, it was back on native soil that Jackson would launch his career. 

His current release-Love Signals-offers longtime fans and new listeners alike just that a melodic offering of love in a multitude of styles.  Coming from a master crooner, Love Signals aims to be a beacon sent out by one of R&B's brightest and ever-evolving stars-proving fabulous Freddie Jackson is still fresh enough for today.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 24 million children in America - 1-3 live in biological father-absent homes. Nine in ten Americans agree this is a crisis. Due to the "father factor", affecting most of the social issues in America today-from police brutality, to youth delinquency and academic failures-breakdowns in the system have become all too prevalent. This underscores the fact that children with involved fathers do better across every statistic on child well-being than their peers in father-absent homes. A stable at-home dad was something yearned for by author/advocate Vincent Ellis White when he was a kid. Seeing how it led to rage and rebellion in his own life, he now focuses on mentoring, healthy family advocacy, & strengthening families by way of creating awareness and open dialogue to help address similar problems faced by youths dealing with the father factor.

Works believes in second chances.  K.Y.D ("Killing Your Demographic"), whose real name is Hassan Barrow, hails from the Bronx, NY and relocated to Westchester County when he was six years old.  He started rapping when he turned 14 and battled other rappers who were older than him.  He was a talented teen on his way, But things began to get bumpy for the artist when he found himself in the correctional system at age 16.  He spent three years incarcerated, which took him off the grid for a while.

RETV Examines the Black Youth Violence Crisis in New Docu-Series

and 

(Jersey City's) Peace March & Mini-Concert 

(There is a war on our shores!  And the enemy is not some dark, sinister foreign entity - it's homegrown, right here in our midst.  The Black youth violence crisis is alarming, fueled by the enemies of peace and tranquility -- ignorance and apathy.  We must declare war, and fight vigorously to rescue our Black youth from extinction.  RETV, a popular YouTube channel headed by LaMar Stephens of New Jersey-based Rap Entertainment, Inc., is creating a three-part docu-series entitled "Cities In Crisis," which will examine the problem under a microscope, laying out both the problems and the solutions, featuring celebrities such as rappers T.I., Common, Ice Cube and Talib Kweli, along with educators, actors and community activists, who all drop their own brands of knowledge and wisdom regarding the Black youth violence crisis...because after all, if it "takes a village" to raise a child, it will most certainly "take a village" to save him/her.

In conjunction with the docu-series, RETV is sponsoring a Peace March and Mini-Concert, scheduled for Sunday, October 26 in Jersey City, NJ's Greenville section.  Jersey City has been one of the battlegrounds of this war, and peace warriors there are supporting the RETV effort by hosting this event, designed to 

bring calmness to their city.  It is Stephens' strong desire that more communities across the country will join the fight.  He will film the Jersey City event for airing on RETV, as a battle plan for others to follow.

Solero… is the last name that two brothers, Jean and Jonathan, share. For the Bayamón, Puerto Rico natives the love of music has been the common denominator throughout their lives and now they are ready to share that love with the world.

They initially recorded numerous covers on their You Tube channel and created quite a buzz in the Latin music community with their Spanish cover of Jason Derulo’s “It Girl” which made it onto the top 10 playlist of popular Latin internet radio station for 7 weeks. However, it was their amazing Spanish cover of Charlie Wilson’s Grammy nominated hit ”You Are” that caught the attention of P Music Group’s President and CEO, Michael Paran. “To see these two young Latin men that not only had star looks but were singing and carrying the vocals of “You Are” consistent with my client, Charlie Wilson, I knew I had to sign them. They were like a Mark Anthony meets K-Ci and JoJo. I was blown away so I had my head of A&R, Marlon McClain, get in touch with them and its all history from there” says Paran.

I loved Mr. Rogers as a kid.  Although his show was geared towards a very young audience, the lessons he taught with each episode was basic and filled with hope.  Hope, something that seems to be fading in our urban communities.  How do we begin to reclaim that sense of safety in an all too violent world.  Does it take a million to spiral change?  Or, just one?  Anthony C. Harris has the privilege of being a man of many worlds and he will be with us to talk about his grass-roots organization, "Silence Breeds Violence."  We need to listen to what he has to say because it comes from many years of experience as a minister and law enforcement officer.
