It's a question that is asked a lot. Whenever people decide to venture out and do something on their own, OTHER people want to know, if they are for real. Who knows why this is everyone's initial reaction but the bottom line is, in our case is: "Yes, we're for real." Against all odds, we strive to make our business strong and to create a legacy. That doesn't mean that we expect to be rollin' in Maybachs next year but we DO expect to be "successful." In order to know when you achieve success, you have to define success for yourself and ensure your team is on the same page. We feel we've done that. Who IS GMG? GMG Urban Entertainment Group is an independent music label based in Charlotte, NC. GMG is made up of a 3-man (well, two men and a woman) team, who each handle the important facets of business and music. Each member is a co-founder and holds a corporate position. Trell Corleon: Co-Founder, Co-CEO and Producer Samraw:Co-Founder, Co-CEO and Rap Artist Dee Custis:Co-founder, President and COO Basically, Trell and Samraw stay in the studio and make music. Dee handles the business side of things. It's a combination that works. It REALLY works. Where are you from? Hmmm...that's an interesting question. The answer is partly WHY GMG is unique. Each of us has a similar background, so there's a kinship amongst us. Let's see, Samraw is from Stockton, CA--"the Valley" as they say. He is the most recent North Carolina transplant. Trell Corleon is "from" Arizona but has been living in North Carolina for many years. Dee isn't really "from" anywhere; moving around the country and the world her whole life. She's been in NC since college. Do you see a theme? Yep, NONE of us are from NC. As a matter of fact, each of us is a former military dependent---"Army Brats" to be exact. We have each lived in different places and all have settled in North Carolina. That gives our musical sound and our point of view a different twist. Having lived in other places OUTSIDE of the South yet loving the South and it's music lends itself to a creatively distinctive process and the result is "fire." What do you DO, exactly? Well, as a label, we work with the artists and the music makers on our label. Our intention is to remain independent and keep a relatively small roster so that we can promote and market the HELL out of just THOSE artists, in order to ensure they do well and get their money. Booking shows, making albums, selling merchandise and creating short films is what we are about. We are a professional team and we expect professionalism from the people we work with. What kind of artist do you look to sign? GMG is an urban label, so we look to sign artists who make music compatible to that genre. That includes R&B, Rap and Hip-Hop--mainly. However, those making music that is COMPATIBLE with the genre, i.e., Techno-Rap or Pop that plays well with the average R&B fan, could potentially be a part of the GMG family. What are you doing now? Currently, we are working on Samraw's RE-introduction CD. The CD will be released in December 2011. We are promoting his music with the singles "Money, Money, Money" and "Watchin' TV." These tracks are produced by Trell Corleon, our producer and head of Boss Dogg Music, his own music production studio WITHIN GMG. Along with these Trell Corleon produced singles, Samraw's Re-intro CD will include songs from his previous albums, Gettin' It and Scarred. (Available on ITunes) We will also be releasing a CD of instrumentals and songs all produced by Trell Corleon. This CD may feature artists who are not on our label. This CD will be a compilation CD but will be a 100% Boss Dogg Music production. Basically, just keep following us because we're here and we're not going anywhere. http://www.gmgstudiosqc.com

GMG Urban Entertainment Group was born out of necessity---the need for a producer to get his music out to artists, the need for a lyricist and veteran rapper to get out on stage and the need for a girly-nerd to help create something formidable, using her many, many talents and skills. We know that we provide a sound that is unique, accessible and raw. We can't wait to show you! Come along on this journey, as GMG brings that Cali-Carolina Connection. Get on the ground-floor and rise with us. GMG is making the people feel this music from the East Coast to the West Coast and all points in between...
