When you work hard to put yourself on top of your craft, only you can thrive in the lane built just for you. Becoming successful means that everybody is watching. The streets, the haters, the industry, anyone that may want a piece of what you have to offer will always be close by.

Sleepy Loco is an artist out of Memphis, where some of the hottest artists have witnessed success. Focused on what he knows, how he grew up and being the best, Sleepy Loco lets it be known he is not accepting less than what he wants in new single No Deal. This record is a head knocker you can hear in all different environments. Produced by YS TRAKKZ,  Sleepy Loco made sure anything he lays lyrics on is as dope as he is.

“We Rich without a record Deal” is part of the catchy chorus that grabs you the moment the beat drops. If you understand Trap then you understand Trap music. Sleepy Loco has mastered it and not stopping anytime soon. To top it off he dropped the official visual that matches the energy of the song.

Rebel Cannabis Celebrity Ed “NJWeedman” Forchion Calls Instagram His Biggest Foe Since the DEA

Ed “NJWeedman” Forchion’s personal battles with politicians, the police, the courts, the DEA and even the FBI have been widely documented for decades. Now that the formerly embattled marijuana rebel is finally reaping the spoils of his longtime weed legalization war, he has found himself up against a new foe. With a record of activism that spans over 30 years, Forchion is calling out Instagram as his biggest adversary yet.

Miami, FL – Ed “NJWeedman” Forchion’s personal battles with politicians, the police, the courts, the DEA and even the FBI have been widely documented for decades. Now that the formerly embattled marijuana rebel is finally reaping the spoils of his longtime weed legalization war, he has found himself up against a new foe. With a record of activism that spans over 30 years, Forchion is calling out Instagram as his biggest adversary yet. Though verified on Facebook, the cannabis celebrity has been unable to secure the widely acclaimed blue check for his Instagram account. The matter has caused hundreds of fake accounts to launch and imitate him, much to the detriment of his reputation, businesses and most importantly, his safety.

“My life is in danger because of the fake accounts on Instagram. The situation has gotten wildly out of control. There are impersonators out there literally stealing money online with promises of delivering cannabis. My business does not mail or deliver weed and we don’t conduct any business online ever! I’ve actually had angry customers affront me, my children and my staff in person after having been duped out of thousands of dollars by these scammers online. Some of these situations have gotten very scary! These impersonators are allowed to run rampant, while my team and I have tried repeatedly to secure Instagram’s support and attention,” cites Forchion. “A verified account would at least help to mitigate the situation.”

“I am appealing to the public and our thousands of supporters. I’m hoping that they will report any fake accounts and I’m just trying to get the word out that there is only one real “NJWeedman” account on Instagram, with over 23,000 followers,” notes Forchion. “I’m also filing a report about these cyber-crimes with the FBI in the hopes that their National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force (NCIJTF) can take on this case. The scammers have fake websites linked to their IG accounts that are impersonating me and they are making off with tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims!”

Forchion has achieved worldwide notoriety for his longtime battles for legalization. As the former co-owner of NJWeedman’s Joint, a popular cannabis themed restaurant in Trenton, NJ, six years in business, the famed cannabis culprit made astonishing headlines this past year for opening a dispensary across the street from the state capital city hall. His ‘outlawed’ success has garnered him speaking engagements on virtual panels at Stockton and Princeton University, and he has been featured across international and mainstream news including NBC News in New York, ABC-TV Nightline, Cheddar News, VICE News and MSNBC’s “Into America.”

Forchion has expanded his brand to Miami, FL with the opening of a cannabis friendly art and music lounge, The Joint of Miami. His daughters now oversee his Trenton operations, while his son has taken over the Miami business.

Much to his distress however, even The Joint of Miami business account on Instagram has been hacked and shut down, with imposter accounts now posing as the actual operation. The original account @thejointofmiami, which was linked to major advertisements and publicity, is now replaced by several fake accounts that are compromising the brand’s integrity.

“I know everyone has issues with social media. I happen to love social media. It has given me a voice and a presence that has literally fueled my activism, brand and business ventures. But now, the fake accounts situation has spiraled out of control. I’ve got 99 problems and Instagram is all of them!” adds Forchion. “Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, if you are reading this, or any of your team, – ‘HELP!’ – Can I get verified on Instagram??? Please get me back my @jointofmiami account and delete the fake ones. In fact, we can discuss the matter over a bowl on me!”

MUSIC EXECS LAUNCH INNOVATIVE RESOURCE HUB FOR CREATORS

Every creator needs an environment with the necessary resources and tools to be productive and successful. A group of four businessmen and music executives have joined forces to offer just that. Positive Men’s Circle is a safe place for creators and management to have a one-resource portal to handle the needs that may occur to make the creative process a smooth one. “When you’re grinding and you see areas of your platform that can best be served by other like-minded people, a natural alignment organically forms,” says Robert Ross, co-founder of Positive Men’s Circle. Ross says it’s only right to partner with such individuals and watch the magic unfold.  He says Positive Men’s Circle being a creation by four men of color makes it even more unique. Ross is managing partner and chairman of R&R Entertainment in Washington, D.C. The hybrid boutique record label and consulting law firm specializes in IP curation and enforcement within clients’ assets. Ross partnered with Elroy “BAE” Nelson, Tyrone “Ty Ty” Griffin, and Nigel “Be Knows Talent” Lee for the Positive Men’s Circle. The group is as diverse as they come. Nelson is a gifted A&R from Baltimore, Maryland. Ross says every “positive men’s circle” needs a partner like Nelson. He can hear and spot a hit and has a unique way of managing and engaging with his clients. Griffin is the owner of one of the hottest studios in Buckhead, Atlanta, which allows any artist within the Circle’s sphere of influence to have a studio home to create and flourish. “Griffin brings the management, studio, and production components to the circle,” Ross explains. Lee has also made a mark in the music industry with the management of Grammy-nominated and award-winning producers and writers. He previously worked with Universal Music and now partners with industry leaders to deliver a variety of services, including marketing, social media curation, blue check/Google verification, and organic playlisting and charting on all digital signal processors (DSP). With numerous accolades under their belts, Ross says there’s no single accomplishment that outshines another. Every achievement is special. “I’ve been blessed to be part of some incredible experiences in my career and have seen my clients reach their dreams more than I can count. Collectively, we’re going to create another level of greatness,” Ross says. The group does have current projects underway. Ross and Nelson have multiple new artists projects to be released on the MCR imprint in the first quarter of 2022. They also have licensing deals in the works with Nickelodeon, MLB, and an AR/VR 3D mapping company. Griffin continues to cultivate the artists he manages, notably artist Jamie Ray who has 70 million views and counting on TikTok with tour and endorsement deals in progress. In addition to managing his flock of producers and writers, Lee currently co-ventures with his partners in areas of social media integration, SEO management, and DSP/VSP placement. Together, the four-man team is excited about the opportunities Positive Men’s Circle will bring to creators and artists who become part of the initiative.
