ALL EYES ON MEKKA DON: THE RELENTLESS JOURNEY OF A DREAMER




Shout outs to EMCblue.com. If you love social networking, music, and fashion check out the site. Really well put together. Also thanks to Jazmine Reed for a very well written piece.

We’ve all been taught the same life lessons and been preached the same cheesy epigrams like, “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” And while we fantasize about our lavish, seemingly unobtainable dreams, even momentarily closing our eyes and living out these fantasies, it takes a certain type of spectacular character for one to open his eyes and furiously chase his dreams and make it a reality. Enter, Mekka Don.

Mekka Don has redefined the term “career change.” Mekka, an NYU law graduate and former Phat Farm model, left a lucrative career as a lawyer at a prestigious New York firm to become a rapper. Though he received harsh criticism for walking away from a dream job and respected position, he persevered and upstaged his doubters with critically acclaimed mixtapes, most noteably his “All Eyes On Me” EP.

WORLD PREMIERE THEY ALL COME DOWN





Mekka Don’s new hit single is more than just a hit. "They All Come Down" is a record written and recorded by Mekka Don which explores the rise of all stars and their inevitable fall. With the rise and fall of the Bernie Madoffs and Plaxico Burress’ of the world, and recent convictions of rappers Lil Wayne, TI, and Lil’ Boosie, the song could not have been more timely. Although some of these “falls” are tragic – ala Michael Jackson and Steve McNair – the truth still remains the same – “They All Come Down.”

The song is complemented by a powerful video produced by Humungoid Films. Jared Zwerling plays the role of celebrity-living the good life. The video debuted at “The Undaground Railroad” showcase at Taj presented by The Source Magazine and Tyku to rave reviews. A crowd member was quoted as saying “This is a very sad but true song. The video is perfect and every line he said was the truth. We need more music like this.” DJ Mick Boogie previewed the song and immediately felt compelled to post in on his website. Mick said, “the song is very soulful and bluesy. It has a message. It reminds me of some old UGK music but is slightly more mellow. It’s a winner.”

The song and video will be officially released today via http://www.theyallcomedown.com. and Itunes. The content rich website chronicles the rise and fall of many of America’s biggest stars in entertainment, sports, and business. The video is available for free and the song can be purchased via Itunes.

50 CENT ON CNBC

Love him or hate him, the underdog's on top. There seems to be no ceiling to 50 Cent's success in both music and business. Anyone who argues that Get Rich or Die Trying isn't one of the best albums of all time is hating. On a business level he's done everything from clothes, shoes, video games, and most notably Vitamin Water. Personally, I'm most amazed by the fact that Robert Greene, the author of the classic 48 Laws of Power, wrote a sequel with 50 called the 50th Law. 50's business acumen has earned him the respect of the top business people in the world, including those at the most popular network in the world.
