The Merc Boys (From left t  o right) Al, 5th Ave, Brick Top, Sosa               B-13 Peer Review's Unsung:  The Merc Boys By: Willy Bill I was looking for raw and unapologetic voice of truth from the black male perspective to take on as a talent to manage. I have flirted with such artists as Christian Keys, (Before he was an actor that everyone has come to know; he was an artist) Chad Moss, (At that time he had parted ways with his management.) Plies, Hopsin, Ledisi, and Giovanca just to name a few. In my search I happened upon this group called the  MERC Boys . When I picked them up they didn't have much support from their followers. They only $13 within weeks I turned it into $600. My projection for the next show was anywhere between $3000- $6000 in door and CD sales.

Article by:  By  Angel Rodriguez Some of you may not be aware of just how smart a business man Michael Jackson was. In one of his performances he said he really doesn’t like to talk, that he prefers to perform. He then put up a sign that said #sonykillsmusic.  Jackson said that Sony was mad at him because he was planning to leave, and that over time he owned over 50% of their catalogue. According to Michael’s words, he out smarted Sony, and they didn’t like that. He also stated that he was about to become a free agent, and that he had hundreds of songs that he would release! Oh, and he called Tommy Mottola the devil. Any fans of Michael know that he didn’t use profanity often, and he certainly didn’t attack people often either.

Abdullah (Atreyu) Rahman (Rapper, Actor, Singer, and Model) born and raised in Long Beach, Mississippi the youngest of 6 kids; 5 girls and 1 boy. Long beach is a small town on the Mexican boarder, and because Long Beach was such a small town there was very little in way of opportunity in the way in which Atreyu would come to seek.  Atreyu had come to know that in Los Angeles, CA opportunity was plentiful. He found that it would be an easy transition to move to LA because his mom was there and she supported the notion.  Upon arriving Atreyu found that he had a cousin that was musically inclined. This was a perfect match because His cousin (Singer Boy) sang and he was a rapper. They combined their talents and formed a group. Atreyu did feel fulfilled as an artists in the group so he decided to take himself in a different direction namely as a solo artist.
