Geechie Dan is the Host of “The Planet of the Tapes” on LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells Radio on Sirius XM. Growing up in Hollis, Queens in the early 80s, Geechie Dan found inspiration in influential Hip-Hop figures like Run DMC and LL Cool J. This motivated him to collect audio recordings of Hip-Hop parties and park jams in the NYC Tri-State area. In 1983, he began his journey as an emcee and became a member of the renowned Hip-Hop organization ZULUNATION, which he remains a part of today. A rap confrontation with LL Cool J in 1984 led to a battle, resulting in Geechie Dan's first loss. Later that year, he joined Spectrum City, a Hip-Hop radio crew based in Long Island, consisting of notable figures such as Hank and Keith Shocklee, Chuck D (of Public Enemy), and Flavor Flav. Despite receiving a record deal offer in 1986 for his song "Let's Dance," he declined due to his involvement with the Jehovah Witnesses, as his mother and the organization discouraged his pursuit of a rap career.
In 1990, Geechie Dan won a rap contest organized by Black Cat Productions in New Orleans, which led to recording a rap for a local R&B singing group and an opportunity to record at Paisley Park Studios, famously associated with the iconic musician Prince. In 2008, he published a book called "The Kingdom Hall No More," discussing his 16-year involvement with the Jehovah Witnesses. His involvement in the Hip-Hop scene continued as he hosted "The Geechie Dan Hip-Hop Tape" show, starting with the first season in 2015 on Hilltop Radio with DJ Shawn, followed by the second season in 2016 on FLOempire Radio in NYC with DJ Kool K Gee. In 2017, his third season commenced on DS Network in the Bronx with DJ Kid Flash.

Matthew Mealy, III was born and raised in Richmond Virginia. He overcame several childhood obstacles in his transition from childhood to adulthood. He has dealt with gun violence, sexual abuse, domestic abuse and poverty. All those factors changed his life and challenged his perspective on life. He has triumphed passed those experiences, though the blessings of The Source.
Recently, he self-published his first semi-autobiographical book, “PEACE FROM BROKEN PIECES” which is available on Amazon https://a.co/d/dlnzYip He wrote the book with the purpose of bringing awareness about the various elements of his life encounters, that people may not elect to discuss. He wants people to know that proper exposure and the right perspective can mean the difference between life and death. No matter your race, cultural background, financial status, nor sex. With these experiences, he hopes to give back to youth and young adults with a focus on assisting young men. His future goal is to form a non-profit to assist young men to make wise choices, learn from the exposure, and live a life free of poverty and full of purpose.

Independent filmmaker Diemiruaya Deniran speaks on the importance of changing how Black gangster movies are written.
Diemiruaye Deniran is a self-taught, independent filmmaker. He was born and raised in London, England of Nigerian parentage. Diemiruaya has been behind the camera and handling audio recording equipment since the age of 10.
In addition to countless musical projects as a solo artist and featured in collaborative groups, he has written and produced several independent film projects, such as Sexamacation, Kuwsh, The Transaction, Soul Remover, Reserve Notes, The Diary of a Badman and Ojanoma.
He is extremely creative with no ceiling to the heights of his imagination. He dedicates his love for film making to his appreciation for the artwork of world-famous artists Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Their artwork made him realize that art and filmmaking are both expressions of the soul. He loves making films because he is able to use it as a medium to express himself. It is not enough for him to show people the world as he sees it. He wants people to see their own world anew.
