			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://maggiemjpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-382" title="maggiecover" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/maggiecover.jpg?w=497&#038;h=497" alt="" width="497" height="497" /></a>After several months of following and reviewing Maggie McClure&#8217;s music &#8211; I was far more than amazed with her talent.  Maggie is from Norman, OK and has performed over 100 shows throughout 2008 &#8211; 2009 &#8211; Maggie&#8217;s self-title album released in Feb 2009 in Japan was produced by several recognized names in the music industry that consist of <a href="http://www.nicklachey.com/" target="_blank">Nick Lachey</a>, <a href="http://shaneandshane.com/" target="_blank">Shane and Shane</a>, <a href="http://www.amyleeworld.com/" target="_blank">Amy Lee of Evanescence</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0402665/" target="_blank">Will Hunt</a> to name a few.  Maggie has music being used on TV Shows such as, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219809997852&amp;ref=mf#/profile.php?id=740285055&amp;ref=ts" target="_blank">MTV&#8217;s The Hill</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/shows/the-city/series.jhtml" target="_blank">The City</a>, and soap opera hit <a href="http://www.theyoungandtherestless.com/" target="_blank">The Young &amp; The Restless</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I personally admire this talented artists &#8211; her music is so strong and she is definitely an example of what being a artists is all about.  I feel her heart and soul in her music and the work that she has dedicated to perfecting her craft is matched among the majors.  There is no excuse for success and each track, show and/or appearance proves that she lives to work, entertain and learn.  Maggie is expected to graduate college in December 09 &#8211; if that accomplishment is not enough &#8211; it definitely has not been an excuse for Maggie.  She has a presidential schedule every month not including the often so-called stress of finals&#8230;LOL.  I have been there and I understand exactly how Maggie is motivated.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/maggie.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389" title="maggie" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/maggie.png?w=497" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Not only is Maggie blessed with fine musical talents &#8211; she is absolutely stunning, beautiful and very smart.  After having the opportunity to speak personally with Maggie &#8211; I found that she is very well mannered, respectful and humble.  I expect to see and hear many great things about this gorgeous young lady during her journey in the music industry.  I think she clarify what she is about in many of her songs.  You don&#8217;t have to be a punk rocker, R&amp;B singer and/or member of a band to have totally cool music &#8211; Maggie is a step above her competition at all levels including understanding the music business and what steps to take next.  She is a very patient decision maker and seems to be making all the right choices during her successful career all the way to this point.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/9_284051025__eaf7484.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-391" title="9_284051025__eaf7484" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/9_284051025__eaf7484.jpg?w=497" alt=""   /></a>My personal message to all my fans is to take the time and visit Maggie&#8217;s website <a href="http://www.maggiemcclure.com" target="_blank">http://www.maggiemcclure.com</a> you will be impressed with her music and beautiful voice.  I quote when I say this, &#8220;Maggie McClure is the truth when it comes to taking a dream to the next level expect to see a major record deal coming soon for her.  I admire her passion, consistency and professionalism in the music business.&#8221;   You can find Maggie McClure&#8217;s Fan page on Facebook located by clicking here <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219809997852&amp;ref=mf#/group.php?gid=5982443957&amp;ref=ts" target="_blank">(Maggie McClure FB Fan Page)</a> &#8211; and don&#8217;t forget to become a fan and keep up with Maggie.  To Maggie:  &#8220;Continue your journey lady &#8211; God has blessed you with wonderful talents.  Never give up and keep pushing and learning &#8211; Your time is coming.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I would like to personally thank Jason Blasco, CEO &#8211; JMB Publicity for introducing me to Maggie&#8217;s wonderful talent several months ago.  You can find Blasco on Facebook by clicking <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219809997852&amp;ref=mf#/profile.php?id=740285055&amp;ref=ts" target="_blank">(Blasco on Facebook)</a>.  As always, &#8220;You heard here first on The Today With KJ Show &#8211; Keep coming back and showing support for unsigned artists.  You will always get the best in reviews.&#8221;</p>

This comedy all-star line up consists of <a href="http://www.bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/comicview/default.htm" target="_blank">BET Comic View</a> and <a href="http://www.bet.com/OnTV/BETShows/comicview/default.htm" target="_blank">Comedy Centra</a>l veteran Superstar Mark Jones to host the opening event.  Although the show is used to create awareness for Laughter is Therapy as a cure, this comedy line up consists of some very funny comedians.  Little Rock&#8217;s very own celebrities Superstar Mark Jones, Ray De Oh, Keith Glason and Chris G will be representing strong for the Rock &#8211; also performing out of Central Arkansas is Kevyn Wayne &amp; Some Mo&#8217; Thangz representing Conway and Southwest Arkansas &#8211; Each comedian has their own style and way of displaying comedy with perfection with over years of talent taking the stage, we expect a remarkable night in Little Rock at Juanita&#8217;s Cafe &amp; Bar.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I can&#8217;t say enough about this talented group of comedians.  I have spent all summer working and traveling with this group and I definitely feel like they are on too something so big that this very night will be looked upon one day and will be remember as the first show that started something larger than life &#8220;Laughter is Therapy.  For the past few years celebrities has been supporting laughter as a therapy aid for a longer, healthier and happier life &#8211; using laughter as therapy has been used for years involving tapes, DVD&#8217;s and even therapy aids for struggling marriages with rising number of divorce in this country.  Now it&#8217;s time to bring Laughter is Therapy to the stage LIVE in front of the audience with a variety of talent and comedians.  The goal is to tour across the country in different venues using Laughter is Therapy as way to display the comedy, therapy and tons of fun.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For more information and to stay in touch with the Laughter is Therapy comedy Tour &#8211; you can subscribe to newsletter at info@laughteristherapy.com &#8211; don&#8217;t be afraid to email your thoughts and comments.  Also the Laughter is Therapy Comedy Tour is still in the process of finding sponsors for the tour, merchandise and DVD development, if you know of anyone or feel that you can support the cause in any way?  Please contact the Laughter is Therapy Team.  You heard it first right here at The Today With KJ Show!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-317" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/kalvinova-the-scientists-of-sound/picture-1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-317" title="Picture 1" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/picture-1.png?w=497&#038;h=331" alt="Picture 1" width="497" height="331" /></a>WOW!  I had the chance to review this amazing young group and the first thing that came to my mind was &#8220;WOW&#8221; &#8211; Very impressive to see young guys with so much talent and a image that will definitely raise the bar for what I call Unsigned Artists.  The group members consist of three (3) guys from Athens/Valdosta, GA &#8211; Luke Galloway, Jeremy Bell and Mason Lusk, they produce 100% of their music, but are definitely looking to expand their music knowledge and work with some of the top producer in the industry as they continue to grow their fan base which consist of more than 35,000 currently and climbing. When I listened to the track entitled &#8220;Supernatural&#8221; &#8211; One of many tracks that I think has been produced with perfection I knew they were on to something with their music.  KALVINOVA fits the smart guy and geeky image and their music seems to score home-runs with the crowd.  They hit the stage with the geeky, smart guys and nerdy image that will make you fall for their charming presence and magical music that pulls you in to hear more.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-327" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/kalvinova-the-scientists-of-sound/topbannersmaller/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-327" title="topbannersmaller" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/topbannersmaller.jpg?w=497" alt="topbannersmaller"   /></a>KALVINOVA enters the industry genre as an electro-alternative rock group with lead guitarist and vocalist Luke Galloway&#8217;s astonishing, emotional and amazing voice.  While Jeremy Bell&#8217;s professional presence on the drums drives the musical cravings through the tracks, adding Mason Lusk&#8217;s rhythmical bass lines to flow throughout their music with passion leaving the crowds amazed as the geeks leave the stage.  Not only are these guys musically talented &#8211; they also understand the music business very well you can purchase there music from the iTunes music store located at <a href="http://www.itunes.com/kalvinova" target="_blank">http://www.itunes.com/kalvinova </a>as well as visit them on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kalvinova" target="_blank">myspace</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/lukegalloway" target="_blank">twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/KALVINOVA/67846897662?ref=ts" target="_blank">facebook</a>.  <em>(Follow links to add them.) </em>I will say it first after being the voice for unsigned artists and producing several industry tracks for various artists I quote, &#8220;These kids are definitely ready to be signed &#8211; right now!  Industry Executives?  Now is the time to jump on the magic of &#8220;KALVINOVA&#8221; &#8211; the best is yet to be heard from this group.&#8221;  So to my fans of the show &#8211; stop in on KALVINOVA and add them to your friend page or whatever on Myspace, Facebook and Twitter, because you know me when I say it &#8211; &#8220;They are Ready.&#8221;  Before I leave you I have to say thanks to a very dear friend of mine for requesting the review and support from the Today With KJ Show to send some love to this new, talented and explosively emotional group Mr. David Brecheisen.  David can be added as a friend on Facebook by clicking here <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/david.brecheisen?ref=ts" target="_blank">(Facebook David)</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>SpeechPeach Speaks:</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Hi!!  I&#8217;m SpeechPeach and this is my first blog here at TodayWithKJ.com &#8211; I&#8217;m VERY excited to have been invited to join KJ here and &#8220;talk&#8221; because &#8220;talkin&#8217; is my thang!&#8221;  In fact, communication is my area of expertise.  I have two degrees in communicative disorders; however, that did NOT help me in the area of communication with my significant other!!  There&#8217;s NOTHING in life that prepares you for THAT type of communication like experience itself.  I&#8217;ve been married a very long, LONG time and I am now, what I consider to be, an expert in &#8220;relationship communication,&#8221; as well. </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>As this blog title states, communication is the key to a successful relationship&#8230;BUT, there&#8217;s a catch (you KNEW that was coming!):  it&#8217;s not just THAT you communicate, but more importantly, HOW you communicate.  We communicate as much, or MORE, nonverbally as we do verbally&#8230;sometimes it&#8217;s NOT WHAT you said&#8230;but, rather, what you DIDN&#8217;T say (out loud)!  As human beings we are very animated characters and we can easily be &#8220;read&#8221; without hearing or saying a word.  Take note of your posture, others&#8217; postures, gestures, eye contact, eye contact avoidance, hand positioning, head nods, smiles, frowns, etc. during communicative exchanges.  Become more self-aware and make sure you are saying what you really WANT to say&#8230;say what you mean and mean what you say, both verbally AND nonverbally.<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>In addition, the HOW you communicate includes the words you choose&#8230;VERY carefully.  It&#8217;s best to avoid placing blame and inferring that your partner &#8220;made&#8221; you feel a certain way or &#8220;made&#8221; you act a certain way.  In any communicative exchange, we are ONLY responsible for ourselves &#8211; and we ARE responsible for ourselves!  GET IT??  No one else &#8220;makes&#8221; you feel something and no one else &#8220;makes&#8221; you act in any certain way.  WE are in charge of US&#8230;control of anyone, BUT ourselves, is an illusion. </strong></em><br />
<em><strong></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Take charge of YOURself&#8230;be a better communicator&#8230;practice makes perfect. </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>TIP: </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>When conveying your feelings, avoid the use of phrases like, &#8220;You make me SO mad when you (e.g. tell me to hang the toilet paper roll going over instead of under)!!&#8221; </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Instead, try using phrases like, &#8220;When you say things like (e.g. You need to pay attention and start putting the toilet paper on the roll the RIGHT way!), I feel (e.g. degraded) and (e.g. controlled).  The next time you tell me something in that manner, I&#8217;m going to (e.g. walk away and not speak to you for awhile) because it (e.g.hurts me) when you (e.g. talk to me like that.)&#8221; </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Try it!  It works!<br />
</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-274" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/introducing-kevyn-wayneand-some-mo-thangs/kevposter5/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-274" title="kevposter5" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/kevposter5.png?w=497&#038;h=372" alt="kevposter5" width="497" height="372" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Comedy will never be the same &#8211; if you haven&#8217;t heard of &#8220;Kevyn Wayne and&#8230;some Mo&#8217; Thangz&#8221; then you REALLY don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happening.  R.I.P. to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005170/" target="_blank">Bernie Mac</a>, <a href="http://www.richardpryor.com/" target="_blank">Richard Pryor </a>and <a href="http://www.reddfoxx.com/" target="_blank">Redd Foxx</a>, and not to mention <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Harris" target="_blank">Robin Harris</a>, because I&#8217;m not trying to take anything away from either one of them &#8211; because they ARE Legends, without a doubt.  And throughout the years I have celebrated several humorous moments that I have shared with each of them on and off the big screen that I will never forget.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">However, there are some Mo&#8217; Thangz in the making and each and everyone of those comics that has paid the way for African Americans to create comedic art will appreciate what &#8220;Kevyn Wayne and&#8230;some Mo Thangz is bringing to comedy.  I spent several years on the west coast preferably speaking about Los Angeles, CA -  from comedy club to comedy club, as well as bringing in talent for the brand new state of the art comedy club &#8211; &#8220;Queen Mary Comedy Club&#8221;.  Where talent was far and in between savvy enough to satisfy any laughing cravings you may have &#8211; and I have yet to discover talent that I find in &#8220;Kevyn Wayne and&#8230;some Mo&#8217; Thangz.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Born in the small town of De Queen, Arkansas, Mr. Some Mo&#8217; Thangz has crossed paths similar to everyone &#8211; and I&#8217;m not speaking white or black, green or purple, but EVERYONE!  His story telling is somewhat similar to the delivery of &#8220;Bill Cosby&#8221; &#8211; but with an edge that will leave you on your seat almost ready to run to the restroom, but you rather use a cup than leave the show for your 15 minutes of fame praying to the porcelain God.  Trust me you rather stop, drop and roll it right there in the seat, rather than leave the show.  I have to admit that I have been very aware of Mr. Some Mo&#8217; Thangz for years, because I had no choice.  I had to deal with him on the streets of De Queen and it doesn&#8217;t sound like much, but he developed his style, delivery and content from his family &#8211; he credits Mrs. Dorothy Powell, his loving mother for his comedic knowledge, passion and respect.  And trust me in all quotes, &#8220;She is something else, the only difference between the two is that she CAN cook,&#8221;  Kevyn Wayne and&#8230;some Mo&#8217; Thangz quotes, &#8220;My momma? Wooo &#8211; the baddest two man woman in da world &#8211; put it dis way, she got my smile.&#8221;  LOL.  If that wasn&#8217;t enough I don&#8217;t know what is.  He is the 4th brother of 5 &#8211; and for you people that can&#8217;t figure it out he says, &#8220;I&#8217;m not the youngest, but I am the cutest. Regardless.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The most important thing that I have to say about Mr. Some Mo&#8217; Thangz is this &#8211; &#8220;He is ready to take on the world and share his humor in a way that can relate to anybody &#8211; and it is truly a sight to see&#8230;well hear.&#8221;  And I&#8217;m proud to say that you can communicate with him right here at Today with KJ.  I&#8217;m excited about having Kevyn Wayne a part of the team he will deliver a vibe that I think is necessary to the industry no matter what &#8211; not only is he a talented comedian and entertainer, he is very knowledgeable about the entertainment, music and dating industry.  His characteristics as a leader in this industry is far beyond your imagination and his grace will be delivered professionally.  That&#8217;s pretty much all we at Today with KJ can ask for out of a professional of his stature and I will continue to support his mission.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In a nutshell, Kevyn Wayne and&#8230;some Mo&#8217; Thangz has dedicated his time to focus on the comments and questions of the world and invite everyone to his page developed right here on the website to get his comedic insight about controversial topics, dating and the entertainment industry.  I welcome you all to support Mr. Some Mo&#8217; Thangz on his road to stardom.  My suggestion is to get his autograph now!  You heard it on Today with KJ!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-168" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/antagonist-is-industry-ready/antblacktrans-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-168" title="antblacktrans" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/antblacktrans.png?w=497&#038;h=372" alt="antblacktrans" width="497" height="372" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: What’s up, man?  First of all – you are a jack-of-all-trades in the music industry, you produced, master, engineer, write and perform –plus you’re a businessman.  What inspired you to get in the music industry – producing, performing, etc?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Music has always been in my blood since day one. I started out playing piano when I was about 6 years old. I hated the structured training that young though, so I just began to play around and make sounds. That grew into learning guitar, drums, and ultimately vocals. It&#8217;s just something that&#8217;s in me, that I&#8217;ve always felt I was MEANT to do. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: I understand that you have been producing for several years now, how is it producing on the East Coast versus West Coast- and was this transition a tough one – considering that the styles are totally different?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: That&#8217;s a great question KJ. What I really felt different about the two mainly is the attitude towards music making. Cali is more grass-roots. What I mean by that is that a lot of cats work together, and indie dudes can always be found in the studio collaborating with each other. It&#8217;s very casual. Out here in FL, things seem a lot more glossy. The studio sessions are bigger, and so are the money factors involved. As far as my transition, it was natural for me. I have never considered myself regional, and always tried to push my music towards different sounds. I love them both, and I&#8217;m blessed to have experienced both. I think it has helped me tremendously. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: I’m pretty impressed with your accomplishment in the music business – I also know how tough it is to make a name for yourself when you have so many producers/artists in the industry right now along with the struggles of hip hop.  How did you adjust to the changes in music today?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: I think there&#8217;s 2 sides to that coin K- On one side the industry is very tight right now. With the economy, and music sharing, artists aren’t getting the deals that they used to. So you really have to stand out. On the flip side, the Internet has revolutionized the independent music market. You can now spread worldwide WITHOUT a major label&#8217;s backing. So ultimately I think it&#8217;s a good thing. My goal was to spread my name internationally on my own, and the current state of things, is allowing me to do that. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: Tell us about the name, Antagonist &#8211; where did it come from or how did it come about?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: LOL that seems to be the question du&#8217;jour lately. Let&#8217;s just say it&#8217;s a combo of the attitude I projected when I was younger. lol It&#8217;s transformed through the years though, as I try to Antagonize the best performance out of myself and others I work with by any means possible. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: I checked out several of your tracks online and I did research on my own – one thing I noticed is that you have several mixtapes and/or tracks out there.  You made some pretty good connections in the business – do you feel that mixtapes are the best way for young artists to get in the game and/or what would you recommend to unsigned artists starting out in the music industry?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Yeah my dude, just this year I already have put out 100+ tracks on the street and it&#8217;s only April. I feel mixtapes are great for an artist to gain exposure. The key though is a relentless grind. I&#8217;ve been doing this thing for YEARS. I&#8217;ve had so many doors shut in my face, and had so many foul experiences, that I often felt like throwing in the towel. But I never gave up. I just busted my ass to improve my songwriting and artistry in general, and vowed to work harder than the next guy. I think up and coming artists need to realize that the &#8220;Overnight Success&#8221; story is a dream, and that behind every platinum artist was years of hustling, grinding, and working.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: You have a unique style and floetry – floetry is what I call awesome lyrics with excellent skills.  How would you consider your style?  In a few words how could you sum it up for us?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: I&#8217;m humbled by that comment, and I appreciate the words K. I just do me. My style is pure emotional music. You can listen to any track I&#8217;ve ever made and immediately know what I was feeling or thinking about at the time. I don&#8217;t try and hide myself, I just try and portray my life on tracks. I feel that&#8217;s how you truly allow the fans to relate to you and your music. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: Let’s talk about “International” – You teamed up with one of UK’s top producers, DJ Ames.  From producer to producer how has your experience been working with Ames?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Ames is a real dude. We linked up and he believed in the movement. I&#8217;ve always respected his hustle, so it was a perfect combo. Especially since I wanted to push further into the overseas market after the success of my first disk &#8220;CaliFlorida&#8221;. The folks in Europe really seem to relate to my music, and Ames helped me set that off. We have already lined up another project, and look to drop it in Mid June to set the summer off right. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: From what I understand you are expecting big things from this International release of this album – what are some of your goals and expectations of this upcoming release overseas?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Well to clarify, &#8220;International&#8221; dropped on April 8th, so all you folks who haven&#8217;t got it yet, go download it asap. My goal with this disk is to continue spreading the name further around the world, and make the movement even bigger. I took a lot of chances on this disk, and didn&#8217;t hold back on any concept I wanted to explore. The initial response has been nothing but positive. It&#8217;s great to know that the things I’m trying to give to the world, are being accepted in high regard. </strong></span></p>
<p>KJ: Tell me about the upcoming release  What can we expect?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Well the next disk I&#8217;m going to do with Ames is in the earliest stages of production. As I said it&#8217;ll drop in June. Already there are some serious HEATERS in production. I am going to build upon what I did on &#8220;International&#8221; and try and make something even greater. With it releasing at the beginning of summer, fans can expect a lively, upbeat feel. It&#8217;s going to be the soundtrack for Summer 2009 worldwide. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: What do you think people that know you, would say about you to someone that does not know you?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: I&#8217;d like to believe they would say, &#8220;Ant is a real person, and a hard worker that&#8217;s dedicated to expanding his talents and perfecting his art.&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: I have produced and performed on the West Coast for five years and I know the music industry out there is very unique and the style is something like nothing out there and it takes a determined artist to even get a chance.  How do you feel having this strong West Coast background has propelled you to the next level?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: The west coast, and especially Northern California where I started out, have always been an independent haven. Folks out there have always taken chances and pushed hip hop. Look at Dre and the G-Funk era, look at Too Short and how he brought sex in the game, Look at E-40 and the slang he gave the world, not to mention bringing the West and South together. I just think the West has made me not afraid to take chances in my music. </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: For a few years now, the industry has been saying that most rappers are lacking real lyrics and they strive on the club bangers, as well as the “catchy cliché” hooks.  So they most have often asked, “What happened to the real lyricist?”  How do you respond to that question?  Do you think the industry is depending on catchy clichés, club bangers?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: That&#8217;s a difficult question. I believe that Pop Radio has succumbed to Catchy Cliche&#8217;s and hooks, but I always believe that true lyrics will never die. Artists who have substance behind them are the ones who last and have longevity. Whereas those with catchy hooks/cliche&#8217;s and dances disappear.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: absolutely, the true lyricist survive and don&#8217;t worry about that.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: I really think dudes like Jay Z, Wayne, Lloyd Banks have proven there is still a place for lyrics.</strong></span></p>
<p>KJ: Absolutely, If you had one thing to change about the music industry – what would that one thing be and why?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: I would give more to the artists who sweat blood for these labels. I would also make it more accessible for people with true talent. Unfortunately lately I&#8217;ve seen a lot of instances where it&#8217;s who you know, and how much money you can spread around. There’s a lot of talented cats out there who could be huge, if they just had the promotional budget like the majors. Although these wishes do seem to be coming true, with the way the Internet and digital distribution is taking over.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: Ant is has been a good one man, but before I let you go – what would you tell my readers and fans to expect from you in the future and where can they find your music?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: K- It&#8217;s been trill my dude. I appreciate the support of Today with KJ. I also want to say that I commend your live chat way of interviewing. I think it&#8217;s very intuitive, and I wouldn&#8217;t doubt to see many others coppin your style. For the future from Antagonist, you can expect my quest for world-wide domination to continue to move forward. I&#8217;m going to keep making real music, for real people. Get ready for the new mixtape with DJ Ames in June, and an Antagonist LP to drop on iTunes just following it. In the meantime, fans can download all of my mixtapes at http://califloridaproductions.blogspot.com they can hit me on www.mrantagonist.com, www.twitter.com/mr_antagonist, and the CaliFlorida Productions &amp; Antagonist FaceBook Group. My direct email is califloridaproductions@gmail.com PS All artists out there who need beats, I got you with the major sound for an indie price. I like to help the folks comin up!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Oh Yeah and subscribe to the YouTube Channel: CaliFlorida Productions right now!!!!!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: Last but not the least, how do you respond to the media when they say, “Hip Hop is Dead?”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Hip Hop will never be dead, it’s just taken on many different forms. If you think its dead, listen to my disks, or come to one of my shows. You’ll see it alive and well!!!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: LOL&#8230;that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: Trill</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: It will never die the industry is to strong and talented artists like yourself will never let that happen!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: You know it. Thanks for recognizing the movement KJ. I wish you much success with the site in the future. I&#8217;ll be back when the next disk drops 4 sho!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: And I&#8217;m always gonna stay real with Hip Hop! It&#8217;s been real man and thanks for your time&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><strong>Antagonist: The pleasure is mine my dude.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">KJ: Anytime&#8230;I got ya back! 100</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-159" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/why-is-content-important-for-your-website/content-next/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-159" title="content-next" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/content-next.gif?w=497" alt="content-next"   /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Many times artists, production companies and producers don&#8217;t feel that they need to add content to their website &#8211; but I tell you now that you need to change your thinking.  Do you have any idea what the main source for advertising is on the internet?  Content!  Period point blank, you can link to every website, pay for all the <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google Adwords</a> not including PPC/CPC programs and you still will not stand up against <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content" target="_blank">CONTENT</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have been working and researching information on the web for several years and I also write content for many websites.   I&#8217;m gonna share some secret information to producers, artists and anyone in the music industry.  I can almost guess that everyone who lands on my site has a Myspace page &#8211; my question to you is this, Do you have your own personal website?  If you&#8217;re an artists, most likely you are depending on your <a href="http://www.myspace.com" target="_blank">Myspace.com</a> buzz to get you noticed.  Beyond all the hype and marketing programs that Myspace develop &#8211; if you depend on <a href="http://www.myspace.com" target="_blank">Myspace.com</a> you will struggle.  Do NOT depend on your myspace page to exploit your musical talents without having your OWN artists website.  And when I say your own WEBSITE, I mean www.yourbandname.com, not www.myspace.com/yourbandname.  If you do not have a website or domain name &#8211; you should go here NOW and get your domain &#8211; <a href="http://www.igotdomains.net" target="_blank">I Got Domains</a>.  First thing you should do is purchase your(dot)com address before someone else does.  VERY IMPORTANT.  I would not even touch this conversation if I had not met so many artists without a website.  You do not have to wait for a website to be developed.  Purchase your domain name today &#8211; they are not expensive, only $7-$9 a year.  If you have not done it then go do it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Before I go on I have to add that I&#8217;m not against myspace.com music sites &#8211; they are cool.  <strong>Don&#8217;t delete it, keep it for developing a fan based, but don&#8217;t depend on a decorated A&amp;R rep to filter through millions of bands to find you.  As a matter of fact, link your myspace page from your main website (www.yourname.com).</strong> For those of you who have this information good for you.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now that we have that out of the way, here is the good stuff.  Why is CONTENT important for your website?  It&#8217;s definitely not because people will read it all &#8211; and I know some of you will say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want all that clutter and information that no one will read.  Well guess what?  It doesn&#8217;t matter, but content does several things for a company, especially in production, producing and developing &#8211; it builds credibility.  The MAIN thing is that is get&#8217;s you in the organic listings of the search.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_search" target="_blank">Organic</a> is the FREE listing when you search on <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> &#8211; NOT the sponsored ads at the top and on the right side, but the middle FREE listings.  That&#8217;s right FREE listing.  Content is the best way to get there &#8211; the more relative content you have based on your keywords and tags the higher you end up in the search rankings.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now why is that an advantage for musicians, producers and production companies?  Because the people looking for producers, development and publicity are looking for us.  Fact is, it is hard to beat the news related websites out for certain keywords in PPC/CPC and the marketing programs online are expensive for what you get.  Plus there is no accurate tracking.  If you have a website, then you can add content.  Content will help you get the visitors you need by adding relavent information to your site.  If your in production then there are several avenues of content that can be added to your site to help reach that front page organic listing.  When adding content be patient, because spiders crawl frequently and tags are constantly updated &#8211; so that means it takes time to rank up in google.  So my advice is to utilize that time by creating content now so that in the future you can be in the organic listings and save you tons of marketing money.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Keep coming back for more updates on Content, MUSIC and Promotion!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-168" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/antagonist-is-industry-ready/antblacktrans-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-168" title="antblacktrans" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/antblacktrans.png?w=497&#038;h=372" alt="antblacktrans" width="497" height="372" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you haven&#8217;t heard of artist/producer <a href="http://mrantagonist.com" target="_blank"><em>Antagonist</em></a> then you better <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">google</a> him &#8211; this guy is for real.  This emerging artist/producer has proven that he has what it takes to help bring hip hop back on it&#8217;s feet.  For years now, the industry have been struggling and starving for new talent &#8211; but there is one problem!  Where is the talent?  Many producers and labels have been eating off the talents of <a href="http://www.lilwaynehq.com/" target="_blank">Lil Wayne</a>, <a href="http://www.trapmuzik.com" target="_blank">T.I.</a> and other southern artists with catchy cliches, but they have failed to look into the deep swamps of Florida.  But make no mistake the Californian artist <em>Antagonist</em> is no stranger to the music industry, because he has a decorated resume of a emerging producer, but has carried his roots to Florida creating a popular production house named, <a href="http://www.califloridaproductions.com" target="_blank">Califlorida Productions</a>.  And if talent was not enough to add to this incredible artist &#8211; he also mix his hardcore street knowledge of Cali with his smooth articulate rhymes with the best in Florida.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For years I have shared my professional opinions with music industry reps and I tell you now &#8211; &#8220;Antagonist&#8221; is a rising a star.  His lyrics are being chanting overseas and he has collaborated with one of the best producers in UK &#8211; <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djamesuk" target="_blank">DJ Ames, an SEA Award winner producer</a>.  Together Ant and DJ Ames has created a powerful highly anticipated album entitled, &#8220;International.&#8221; I spent several hours listening to some of these tracks on youtube.com and the guy caught my respect and I will follow these guys to the top.  These two explosive producers are expected to release nothing less than the bomb tracks and they both have proved this thus far.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-131" href="http://todaywithkj.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/antagonist-is-industry-ready/m_cffdb178758342afb2f5bb9a605b73961/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-131" title="ANT" src="http://todaywithkj.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/m_cffdb178758342afb2f5bb9a605b73961.jpg?w=497" alt="ANT"   /></a>Antagonist has a style to me that is similar to hip hop star, <a href="http://www.t-pain.net" target="_blank">T-Pain</a> &#8211; but he also has this rock element about him and is more versatile.  He is definitely not stuck in one style and proves it.  Not taking any credit from T-pain, because I dig the guy, but Ant gives that plus more with serious lyrics.  The industry asked, &#8220;What happened to the real lyricist in the industry?&#8221;  Antagonist has the answer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If bringing on the mic is not enough &#8211; get this!  The guy is a songwriter, producer, engineer, businessman, you want me to keep going?  Ceo, artist, mixer, entrepenuer &#8211; what else can he do?  One of the problems the hip hop industry has had for years is keeping artists out of jail and off the streets.  Worry no more, because these guys are serious about business.  I have to give deep pocket respect for the hustle, because I know the struggle.  Two guys collabin&#8217; like this &#8211; leaves the whole word in trouble.  The boys can bubble and that&#8217;s real &#8211; get ready for &#8220;International&#8217;  and show some love for Antagonist and DJ Ames.  Keep checking back for updates on Antagonist, because I&#8217;m gonna cover every move they make and keep you guys in the loop &#8211; Because I know music.  Holla back.</p>
