Tell us more about D.U.B. L.I.F.E. ENT. Which personalities or projects have you worked on
D.U.B. L.I.F.E. ENT. is an independent company that provides different services within the entertainment business. We manage artists, have a production company, DL Recording Studios, DL Printshop, D.U.B. Cinema and Media Models. We also produce different events such as the Umbrella Tour and also partnered up with V.A. Productions on the annual Midwest Urban Music Awards/Rappers Ball. I’ve worked with Bo Deal of Killa Klan and Brick Squad and Co-Still of Eight Nine Music.

What pressing challenges did you face starting out and how did you overcome them?
Well, it wasn’t really too many issues because I was with another label for like six yearrs before I started D.U.B. L.I.F.E. ENT. So a lot of things I had already learned firsthand from my previous experience.

How is your music relevant to the society you live in and how can it be used to instill positive change in the community with focus on the youth?
I talk about the things that are going on right now, what’s been going on. I don’t just act like it’s all sweet and we got all this bread and all we do is Ball! Now let ’em know how I use to serve and get a lot of drug money then let ’em know how that jail cell was cold and I lost a lot of weight because of the lack of food..I let me know it’s not all peaches and crème.

Many young people are negatively influenced by music both in Africa and around the world. They’re involved in crime, violence, drug abuse and indecency. How can that image be changed?
I believe it starts in the house hold first. It’s all about your upbringing. Just because you watch Scarface shouldn’t make you go out and try to be the biggest drug dealer in the world. If your morals and teachings are in tack.You are already in your lane and know what you got to do and how you got to do it because you were already taught the right way. Now the things that does influence us is the poverty we live in. The lack of employment and things to this nature. That’s what makes us go out and sale drugs or rob because a lot of times there is no other choices to feed the family or to pay that gas bill and it’s the middle of winter, after we’ve been looking for a job for 6 months. It’s hard out here and some people can’t take it.

Where do you envision yourself in five years’ time?
One of my visions is  for my company to be able to distribute independent companies music, clothing and accessories digitally and in stores.
