I LOVE THE STREETS
The music is timeless from this living legend of hip hop culture. Omar Epps the artist/actor/writer/producer has been in several groups through his music career. The lead singer for Men Of Vision before they were got signed to Teddy, Wolfpack, and Society X signed to Priority before Columbia took over. Now on his own Label BKNYC Records, He is in position to shock the nation.
Why this name?
I was born In BKNYC and it's what I represent in my music and in my movies.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The evolution of the mp3 allows signed and unsigned artist to major or independent labels to get international exposure. This type of exposure isn't someting a major label is always willing to give an artist. Major labels have a budget and control of how many records they want you to sell. So now it's up to the artist to market and promote an understand the marketing business and it makes good business men or women. You have more control of your exposure, and your career.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I would sign my label with a Major as long as we at BKNYC Records still have creative control
