Vincent Talks UnSigned The Magazine, P.P.T., KoMika and More!

What’s Going On Everybody? It’s Vincent here for the 5th installment of “Vincent’s Corner.” It’s been two weeks but I’ve kept y’all in mind. I’ve received plenty of emails and comments since my last blog entry. I know I’m supposed to answer one question per blog but due to space I’ll probably have to answer one in my next blog.

So since we last spoke, Mike Vick pleads guilty to some of the charges involved with the Dog Fighting Indictments against him and his cohorts. Vick just mortgaged his future for the “fast money.” With all of his endorsements and the $130 million contract he signed 3 years ago, Vick didn’t even need the fast money. Sure he’s going to prison, but what the judge needs to remember is that Vick not being able to play football on Sundays will hurt him more than any prison time he does. This is the time when an athlete uses the sport they play to take his/her mind off of the world’s pressures. He’ll miss all of this season, next season because of prison and then the NFL will suspend Vick for another season. When he comes out, he’ll be 31 and 3 pro seasons out of football. But in his defense, I believe he’s learned from this. One question though....... When did people killing animals become bigger than people killing people? If we had this much energy and focus on gun control, the nation would be in a better place.

Okay, so let me get off of my soap box for a moment. I wanted to mention that the best event I attended during the last two weeks, was the Unsigned The Magazine Print Launch Party. After being an online magazine for so long, Robbie Wilcox (Publisher) and Mut Asheru (EIC) have brought the magazine to print. On the first cover of the magazine, P.P.T. (Pikahsso, Picnic and Tahiti) is on the cover. I’m a HUGE FAN of P.P.T. Upon first hearing music from the trio over a year ago, I thought the group was a little bit too eccentric but I’ve learned P.P.T. is bringing back the fun to Hip-Hop music. They make good music. P.P.T. is signed to Koch Records through Idol Records and Navarre Distribution. So congrats to Robbie and Mut for going to print and P.P.T. for getting the initial cover.

On the subject of the Launch party, shouts out to Jay Fouts (Blackwerks Ent), Rage Almighty, DJ P-Nut, Jam Renaissance, Bruh-N-Law, Zach and Chris Collier, P.P.T. (Tahiti, I didn’t know you knew who I was!), HeadKrack (97.9 The Beat), Original Soul, T-Wrex (Slept on), DJ Spinn, DJ Fish and Mut (I told you I’m going for the cover!). Jay, I learned a lot from you in our long conversation, we’ll make something happen!

It was announced yesterday that I’m the DFW Booking Agent for the Harlem Starz, a novelty basketball team based out of El Paso, Texas. Similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, the Starz are a basketball team full of former Collegiate, And 1, Overseas and Globetrotters who travel from high school to high school playing the best students at the school. They also bring a drug free atmosphere and positive message wherever they go. I’m gracious that the owner Mike Gonzales reached out to me for the venture. They should be coming to North Texas in November so look out for them!

Be sure to check out the newest single from “R&B’s Biggest Secret” KoMika. The song is titled “Don’t Stop” and produced by the Evil Genius DJ Green Latern. We just sent the record out to over 200 DJs and Record pools across the country and have received positive feedback. To listen to “Don’t Stop”, click on her picture in the left hand side of the website and/or visit her online at www.KoMikasWorld.com. I’m glad that Industry Veteran Dan The Man is allowing us to work with her to help take KoMika to the next level.

Before I Go, let me say that my prayers are going out to Tonisha Johnson as her Dad is in the hospital right now suffering from an undisclosed problem i'm not at liberty to release. Tonisha gave me my first interview in August last year and made me apart of the advisory board for up-start T.O.M.I. Magazine this past February. Tonisha, Everything will be okay! (New Issue of T.O.M.I. Magazine is due this week! (www.tomimagazine.com)

So everybody until next time, it’s been great. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!
