Anna Nyakana: Unlocking the Youth to the World Within

Anna Nyakana is an award-winning and bestselling children’s author, speaker, producer, musician, and singer-songwriter. Hailing from Uganda by way of Berlin, Germany, she is most notably known for creating the Niyah Zuri children’s book series, which focuses on representation for our Black and Brown youth and empowerment through historical exploration of our own rich legacies.

Growing up in the U.S. from the age of six, Anna discovered an unfulfilled need for kids to gain a true knowledge of self by understanding where it is they come from; beyond the stories of trauma normally instructed in schools and highlighted by the media. From this discovery, the Niyah Zuri movement was born and Anna Nyakana began her relentless mission to save the youth.

Now building upon her book series, the visionary is growing her Niyah Zuri movement by creating an animated cartoon and short film to expand the message of diversity and self-love from literacy to digital content, so kids can have access to educational programming that is also honoring to their heritage. “Kids should see a reflection of themselves from books to screens, my mission is to inspire them one adventure at a time,” states Nyakana.  

Not stopping there – this multi-talented creative is taking things a step further by co-producing an original soundtrack for her animation to truly blend the sounds of our origin with Hip-Hop. By incorporating world music, primarily AfroBeat, AfroFusion, and AfroPop, Anna Nyakana is bringing our heritage to the forefront of the Culture. “I aspire to unlock the youth to achieving their highest potential and understand that we have a responsibility to give them the keys to discovering their true selves. The music we’re creating for the animation will vibrate to the core of every listener and allow their subconscious to reconnect with the sounds of heritage and their own glorious history,” Anna explains.

Working directly with Producer and Recording Artist LaChaleur (A$AP Ferg, Desiigner, ARNSTAR), the two were able to collaborate to bring the vision and the sounds of back home alive. Anna contributing melodies, vocals, and live instrumentation while LaChaleur creating hypnotic beats and rhythmic patterns stemming from his own roots from Ivory Coast – joining together to truly make a one-of-a-kind sound. “Anna and I wanted to give it a fresh sound that still represents culture and that millennial-vibe that people could easily resonate with; where it’s not looked at as something just for kids but where you could watch it as a family,” shared LaChaleur.

The journey of the Niyah Zuri soundtrack will be released as an exclusive studio bio filmed and directed by the talented Gil Rios; an award-winning Filmmaker and Director. Gil Rios prides himself in selectively choosing creative partnerships where he is able to bring stories and experiences to life through his video making; his work has been featured in The Rolling Stone, The Source Magazine, and Hot 97 to name a few. When asked why he chose to capture Anna’s journey Gil shared, “Because I feel her mission for teaching our children of color their correct history and culture is very important in their growth and development.” Anna Nyakana is one to watch – someone who truly is here to create change and long-lasting impact in the world for generations to come. Her focus and passion for the youth is a rarity and something is telling me, this is just the beginning.

Hip Hop United Founder Briana Crudup Finds Gems in Digital Marketing and Branding

 Briana Crudup is affectionately known as “Bri,” is the founder and creative genius steering Hip Hop United, LLC to success. While operating at the forefront of her growing full-service marketing/media and promotions firm, she is essentially a career catalyst for independent artists breaking into or elevating within the music industry. Bri is simultaneously an expansive force and gem-finder for setting up artists for major record labels meetings. Artists can also benefit from the prolific collaborations between Hip Hop United LLC and prominent firms, a full-service global distribution and marketing agency.

Bri has partnered with major brands such as Reebok, Stella Rosa Brands, Essentia Water, Rap Snacks, Local Choice Spirits, Kaotica Eyeball, Microsoft Corporation, Atti2udez Beauty Room, industry leaders, and private clients as a master of both artist development, branding for event purposes and framing visions. When working with artists, she places them in the most strategic positions to advance by brokering life-altering connections with the most influential power players such as other label executives. “I work closely with A&Rs seeking talent, so I help artists by shaping and molding them, guiding them in the right direction,” she highlighted. Additionally, Bri is regularly behind the lens, capturing moments of a lifetime in the form of captivating photos and videos. She transitioned into this role in 2008, after working in the corporate sector for over 15 years.

The desire to establish her own photography/videography business came from a burning passion for creativity and a deep desire to carve out her own lane where entertainment and visual arts intersect. Her tenure as the regional director at Hip Hop Weekly Magazine was a pivotal moment for both the company and Briana. She was put in a tedious position to both build her career and rapport within the industry while also breathing new life into a company that was undergoing an administrative overhaul. During this foundational phase, Bri worked relentlessly to establish her unique “That Photo Chick” brand, which attracted heavy consumer traffic, clientele, profitability, and notoriety for the company. Growing this platform and amplifying the company empowered her to go full-throttle and create her own agency.

After transforming, enhancing and revitalizing other businesses, one in particular Bri established the inimitable full-service media agency, Hip Hop United, LLC, and tenaciously paved her way to success. She explained, “I expanded my services to creating content for hip hop brands and helping emerging artists with photoshoots, graphics, marketing and promotion, and more.” She soon soared to success by forming networks, reinforcing genuine relationships, freelancing with trending media outlets, developing new skills, and having tunnel vision on expanding her empire. Her biggest success, however, trickles down from her magnetic personality and authenticity, which is why she is loved by all with a loyal following. By 2019, Hip Hop United grew exponentially with a steady influx of elite clientele. In 2020, Hip Hop United is celebrating partnerships that have been established to help creatives thrive in the digital era.  This collective of creatives that ranges from emerging artists to moguls, fans, superstars, journalists, and corporate spearheads are all united by Bri to continue pushing hip hop culture forward together.

Exclusive Interview: Meet Rising Young Artist Kane Bailey

Kane Bailey is a hit-making machine. He’s had a prolific 2020, dropping smashes like  Charlie D’amelio, Lavish and many more. In this exclusive interview Kane discusses living through the pandemic, how he got into music and more.

What first got you into music?

I first fell in love with music specifically rap as a young kid, when my dad would play all

the OGs in the car. This gave me a good understanding of the history and who the

greats were. He also introduced me to new school artists that were rising to fame at the

time and bringing in a new sound.

Who inspired you to make music?

To be honest the first person that made me want to get on stage and pursue

The music was by Justin Bieber. I saw his music videos on tv as a kid and thought it was

It was really cool and I wondered why I couldn’t do it too. Once I started getting older I

saw kids my age in my city dropping tracks and getting a little buzz, and I knew it

was possible for me too.

How would you describe the music that you typically create?

Because I am still so early in my career as an artist, I am still trying out new

sounds and looking for different waves and trends in music. I would say I am

mainly rap, hip-hop, with some pop influence. I will continue to dabble in different

genres and sounds throughout my whole career to keep things new and

challenging.

What is your creative process like?

I am usually inspired by something I hear, could be from another artist, or just

something in my everyday life. I then go online and look for a beat to match that

vibe, or how I’m feeling. After going through plenty of beats, I find “the one”, and

start writing to it. A melody and hook comes to my head right away when I hear a

beat.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?

My all-time dream collaboration is for sure Drake. In the meantime, I would love

to work with a variety of young rappers around the world such as Kid Laroi, Lil

Tjay, Melvoni, etc.

Floyd Mayweather Gifted Rare Kobe Bryant/LeBron James Card Worth $15k

Cavaliers’ LeBron James and Lakers’ Kobe Bryant greet each other before tipoff, Thursday, January 15, 2015, at Staples Center. (Photo by Michael Owen Baker/L.A. Daily News)

In 2008, many NBA fans hoped LeBron James and Kobe Bryant would battle it out in the NBA final. Instead, the Cleveland Cavaliers wavered against the Boston Celtics, leading up to a confrontation between Kobe and people like Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett. Ultimately, the Celtics emerged victorious, while the Lakers were set to win the next two NBA championships.

To commemorate what might have been, Topps created a rare LeBron-Kobe map that is now selling for a wild prize of $15,000 USD. According to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Heavy.com, legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather was actually gifted the card for his 44th birthday. The card was given to Mayweather by the Wooter Boys.

The value of the cards to be exchanged has increased exponentially throughout the pandemic, as collectors immerse themselves in their pastimes. The value of these cards continues to grow, making them a good investment for those seeking to diversify their portfolio. Some people even borrow money to buy these cards because they are convinced that buying them with leverage will lead to massive gains.

Although Mayweather certainly does not need the money, there is no doubt that this card is an asset that will continue to grow in value, and it will be better served to keep it secure. Decades from now, this card may well be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Since celebrating his 44th birthday in Miami, the champ recently announced that he would be opening a boxing gym in Dallas. The Gym will be called Mayweather Boxing and Fitness. It will be located at 2401 Victory Park Ln #170 Dallas, TX 75219. They are currently offering  Pre-Opening Membership at this time. So, go ahead and apply to lock in your membership.
