It was great to hear what he's been up to since we were last together cause back then he was pushing the NFT's but he's since evolved from that as any great hustler would to new ventures. The head of the Reject Dreamers kicks a lot of game and provides guidance that all up and coming artist should sit down and listen to.

We get the origin story of the name Meeko Gattuso which is surprising how it came about but also displays the power of words. If there is one thing you will get out of these conversations we've had with Meeko and his transparency to break down the film industry is, how bad do you really want it? To make it in this game you most definitely have to put that ground work in and be optimistic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're back in action with OSVN sitting down with the Advocates for part 2 of the interview and we get deep on dreams and aspirations. Some things we wish to obtain sometimes need to be spoken into existence before they actually happen so we can pave the road in front of us to get there. Gotta be a dreamer to be an achiever!!
We had some fun on Bars With OSVN and we stumped him on where some of the bars the songs came from that he wrote and rhymed but the main object of the game is to show recognition to the picture being painted by the artist through their words. There is a beauty in listening to a song and painting the picture of what is being said in your mind to connect with the message, sort of like a prayer which is what makes Hip Hop such a beautiful thing.
We get two songs for the Show N Prove first one called "Mind Set" followed up with his latest single release, "TWOU NWA," which can be streamed and downloaded on undeniablemusic.com

It was an honor to have such a professed individual come in and touch on topics that most are too scared and misinformed on. We take him back to reminisce on his beginning of creating his own rhymes and how being dedicated and focused helps develop ones creativity. OSVN tells the story of how Undeniable came about back in the day from kids in the neighborhood having fun, to coming together as a group to give us countless classic work like the Five Finger Discount series and their debut album Black Market Artists.

Were back in full effect, picking up where we left off last week with Lil Dee. We tap into how good his memory is on Bars With Lil Dee, and he got each one right and even continued each of the lines with the bars that followed. His Show N Prove was epic performing one of his latest singles called "King" make sure to stream it available on all platforms. This kid is mature beyond his years and he is displaying it not only in the conversations we had with him but you can hear the growth in his music. The future is now and the example of how a true Hip Hop artist is supposed to carry himself is on full display. We need to praise and appreciate talent like this when we see it because in a day and age when everyone thinks they can rhyme, it's true talent that should prevail. Anyone can market themselves to portray an image of greatness, but when you're called upon to prove it thats when the respect is earned. Go tap into the EP "They Call Me Danny James" and check for the countless freestyles and battles this young legend has been a part of. Since 10 years old, he's been perfecting his craft keeping emcees on their toes and he's just getting started.
We made it to a half a century of episodes and what better way to celebrate than with one of the best young talents this Hip Hop culture has to offer today. Coney Island's own Lil Dee is in the building and kicking it with the Advocates to tell his story. Dee wrote his first rhyme when he was 10 years old and never stopped from there, consistently writing and practicing till he gained the confidence at 12 to begin taking his dream serious. He joined different circuits online that showed him how to better market his creativity and led to him be recognized by some legendary people in the Hip Hop culture. Much praise to Lil Dee's father who saw the potential and the desire in his son and supported him all the way to bring him where he is today. There is an upcoming project he will be dropping soon called "Escape From Coney Island" where Lil Dee will be showcasing his maturity and growth to go along with upcoming collaborations with Kool G Rap, J Dilla and Dres (from Black Sheep), Diamond D and many more legends in Hip Hop. As it is in his music, Dee is beyond his years on his perspective in life and his goals which is a big reason he is able to connect with such a broad audience of all ages. Fresh out of High School Lil Dee continues his academic endeavors today in learning how to be more self efficient with producing, engineering and learning the business side of the music industry. Being self efficient is the best way to get where you're trying to go in life. We asked the question and Lil Dee had the answers with an elite Top Five list of artist that he listens to and helped mold the artist he's becoming. On the segment "Looking for Lil Dee" we showed him some pictures we found so he can tell the story behind each shot describing where he was, who he was with and what was going on at that time. It was an awesome time to sit down with this young brother but stay tuned for next week cause part two only gets crazier!!

We touch on the importance of networking and communicating with others to sell your brand, it's all in the approach. The Show N Prove stage was left in shambles from all the punchlines Ugoboy was dropping on "Bruce Wayne Money" and with that being said we went in an dug up some lyrics from his catalog to see if he could guess what song they were from on Bars with Ugoboy. Good, original bars ain't easy to come by which is why when these big commercial projects are being worked on there are writing parties that are put together and great minds collaborate to bring forth a lot of the music that is played and promoted in the mainstream platforms. Album of the Week to check out is RJ Payne's project "My Life Is a Movie" which is a crazy album from start to end. Get in on the fun debates and enjoy our latest episode!!
