Godbliss was born in the Bronx, New York, in the early 80’s, and like so many others were influenced by hip-hop at a young age. Godbliss’s mother was a female rapper, and his father was a well-known DJ in the Bronx. Hip-Hop was in his blood at birth. At the age of 10, Godbliss was already writing rhymes.
Growing up listening to Kool G Rap, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, and KRS-One, he created his own style. By 1992 Godbliss had joined the 5% Nation of Gods and Earths and started putting knowledge and intellect along with his already hardcore metaphoric style. Godbliss has never lost a battle and is well known in the underground market. Touring around the world performing and keeping real hip-hop alive, Godbliss has a large following of fans rooted in the real hip-hop tradition; a fan base that include every race and nationality.
On August 19th, Godbliss released his lasted single featuring Nitty Scott produced by D-ski The Illeagle, “Femme Fatale & Casanova“. This single was inspired by the mentality of a Femme Fatale and Casanova and how it effects our society. In addition to working with Nitty Scott, he has also worked with The Game, Inspectah Deck, Kool G Rap, Sadat-X, Saigon, Grand Daddy IU, K-Rino and J-lyn, to name a few.

We’re happy to be speaking today with a phenomenal Latin American singer Jadi Torres! Before we get started, how has 2022 been treating you thus far?
2022 has been nothing short of amazing. I have been able to jump head first into many projects that were only a dream in conversation a few months prior, so needless to say, I am loving 2022!!!
Tell us the story behind your brand name came to be?
I was born in Dominican Republic so there’s always a shortened version of the full name, I was nicknamed Yadi with a “Y” since I was a baby, but in America people pronounced it (Yahdee) for us the “Y” has a j sound. So I simplified it as a total artist boss move lol, to Jadi with a “J”.
How did you learn to sing / write/ to play?
I grew up around music, choirs, talented musicians that were self taught. Music grabbed me very early on in my life and I fell in love with it. Writing poetry, developing them into songs. It was easy to want to learn to play instruments and sing because I was always around it. I realized I had a talent and I work everyday to perfect it.
What was the 1st concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I was young, I went to see a live band in concert ill never forget the feeling even though they weren’t a largely known band. I knew that’s something I saw myself doing.
If you could have a musician tag along with you on tour, who would it be?
Wow! I would want someone like Alicia, or HER for sure! Let’s create music at any time on tour. We’d probably have 3 albums by the time we’re done.
Do you prefer to listen to music more or create?
Create for sure, I can honestly say I can go a few days without listening to music but in my head I’m always creating.
Being Bilingual do you think you have more Latin fans than American fans?
I know my Latin America fan base is pretty big so I would like to say maybe lol, however within the last few records I’ve made I’ve tapped into more of my English side and it’s gotten a pretty big response from the American fans, but Latinos are definitely on the higher end, for now.
Have you experienced stress on stage before? If so, what do you do about it?
Not really, I don’t normally stress out. I always get sudden butterflies in my stomach feeling, but that goes away the moment I step on stage.
As a female artist, if you could change one thing in the music industry. What would it be?
I feel there may be, more now in this culture than before, a high demand for “sexy” to be a part of being a female artist. For me that’s a box I would like to see broken, you don’t have to be half naked to attract the Audience’s attention.
If you didn’t pursue a music career, what would you be doing?
I love being able to make a difference in anything that I do, I remember for the longest time I wanted to be a doctor, a surgeon or something like that. Maybe I would’ve pursued medicine.
What can your fans look forward to seeing next from the phenomenal artist Jadi Torres?
They’re going to get the best music they have ever heard from me! I’m going to continue to inspire every dreamer with my life and accomplishments so I hope they don’t get tired, I’m here for the long run. There’s a lot of acting in the works, so they’ll be seeing my face on the big screen. I’m excited for that experience.
Douglas Parson Jr! It’s more than selling homes it’s cultural empowerment through real estate assets
The value of the property you possess will never decrease. A new car’s depreciating value is one example of an investment that could leave you with little to nothing of value. Other examples include investments in the stock market, which can go down to zero in value. You may expect your money to go up in value in the real estate market regardless of whether you invested it in a residential or commercial property. For me it’s about helping build a community of generational wealth, and sustainability. Celebrities and musicians have the ears of the culture, so I became a celebrity realtor. I didn’t do it for fame, I did it to inspire, and motivate as many people as I could through selling homes to famous people. Famous people have large followers who look up to them. Maybe one of my celebrity clients could motivate someone to take a different route with their resources or motivate them to get into the world of investment through real estate. I was able to close a real estate deal for multi-platinum music producer ATL Jacob recently. These deals give the youth hope that anything is possible when you believe in something, and you do the work to make it happen.
Subculture of giving: it’s a lifestyle Traditionally, philanthropy has been thought of as something that the rich fund, the middle class volunteers for, and the poor and needy receive. But philanthropic giving is more than just money. It is a process of creatively giving to others, and in so doing, fulfilling our basic human need to connect with our own humanity. Regardless of socioeconomic status or age, every person can cultivate a philanthropic lifestyle, one that teaches them to live, reach, and stretch themselves in a way that fills them with purpose, love, empathy, and compassion.
