M.M.P. Blackmoney was founded in New York City a.k.a. the "Boogie-Down" Bronx, in dedication to my family the God Tribe of Shabazz. Peace be on to you. In 2003, M.M.P. (MadMan Productions) Blackmoney, in association with Shabazz University (Non-Profit), began an apprenticeship program to help guide aspiring rappers, singers, models, and dancers by teaching them the steps to becoming professionals in their industry. The apprenticeship program also assisted its participants with funding for uniforms, traveling expenses, promo materials, and entry fees in competetions in the tri-state area. In 2003 and 2004, a locally sponsored dance crew the "Lost and Found of the Boogie-Down" competed in numerous competitions involving the likes of DJ Kay Slay, The Source Magazine, Foxy Brown, Mega Music Store, and Pretty Boy Entertainment. Our youth program also volunteered at local nursing homes, hospitals, and retirement homes by delivering food, running errands, and babysitting. It wasn't long before our artists became well-known for their dance and freestyle battles. The apprenticeship program ended in summer 2004 when M.M.P. Blackmoney left NYC. For the remainder of 2004, M.M.P. Blackmoney focused on building its network in Washington D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. In 2005, M.M.P. Blackmoney relocated to Las Vegas with a new focus of talent consulting, promotions, and marketing, while building a stronger apprenticeship program. In Las Vegas, we have promoted artists such as, Keyshia Cole, Common, Will (Making the Band 4), Versitile "The Truth", Duce Mino, Big Snake, Royal Bloodline, Guillatine, and the Duce Boys. We've hosted parties and events at Poetry Nightclub (formerly OPM), Paradise Strip Club, House of Blues (Mandalay Bay), Platinum Hotel, The Element Nightclub, The Icehouse Lounge, and the Tropicana. We are currently handling the artist promotions of Million Dollar Music Group and Youngstar Entertainment while planning a final relocation to Atlanta, GA. Presently, we offer marketing and promo packages for artists, labels, and small businesses. We also offer consultation and booking to our Las Vegas clientelle. Our models division and apprenticeship program is being restructured and set to be reincorporated in upcoming months. |
