My Facebook My Myspace - D.I.Sguise



My facebook My Myspace - D.I.Sguise by coderedent

D.I.S GUISE is a young film maker, with background experience in music production
and graphic design, he committed to music at a young age after watching then hip
hop teenage acts such as Kriss Kross, Kid and play. D.I.S was born in west
Africa, hence the African tropical sounds influence his songs, he was inspired to
make music in the likes of Kidjo, Fela Anikulapo kuti, vyonne shaka shaka, Brenda
fasse, and others mixed with hip hop and contemporary music.

As an adolescent, D.I.S GUISE was fascinated with the idea of disguises and how
they could transform a person from one to another, he believed that everybody had
at least 2 disguises to their everyday life, one wore for social acceptance and
the other worn when we are being our true natural selves. D.I.S has chosen to
wear both disguises and talk about issue that would not be brought up in the
modern music society. D.I.S’s mask represents the facelessness of the everyday
person he has chosen to stand for. “There are millions of people out there that
have stories to tell but don’t have that pitchman, or voice to tell it to the
world” he said, when asked what he does music for. GUISE knows that music is
suppose to be a medium to express feeling about life, and since modern artist
only seem to see the “bling bling” side of life, he has made it mandatory to
address the young girl who wrongfully got rape, the government’s plot to control
citizens, the single mother struggling to raise 4 kids, the immigrant fighting
for his rights as a human being, the lover boy who got betrayed by his partner
and the list goes on.

D.I.S GUISE’s mixtape “I USED TO THINK I WAS LIKE YOU” which would be released
under his new record label CODE RED ENT, addresses the society’s idea of normal
and abnormal. This mixtape explores the person society wants us to be as opposed
to who we really are, we watch TV and try to incorporate things we see into our
lives because that’s what is considered “COOL”, and if otherwise is done the
individual involved is not regarded as an active part of society, hence they do
not matter, in this social commentary mixtape guise challenges minds and makes it
sooth the ears.

Am I Better: Beef Is getting Heated


The Beef between this two is getting heated now. Yesterday Nov 11 IceBerg Slim dropped a reply track at notjustok.com to M.I's "Somebody Wants to Die" track which was released last month in response to IceBerg question "Am I Better Than M.I?". According to rapper IceBerg aka Mr International this has been a question directed at him from the fans of both camps. This new track from IceBerg directly calls out M.I where he also calls him a "faggot".

Both tracks are down below for your listening pleasure.

Ms.Royalty – Claiming her crown in the industry.

Stephanie Ike known as Ms.Royalty, you may probably remember her face from several billboards in Lagos, Nigeria and London, UK from her modeling career which started at the age of 13. At such a young age, she has accomplished what many of us are yet to imagine. Starting her own Entertainment Company- Afrikan Royalty Entertainment at age 18 which is based in the Inland Empire, California she has worked alongside with artists such as; Ray J, Electrik Red, Jeremih, Big Boi ad many more. Currently, her company is a part of the first HIV/AIDS awareness concert in the biggest county in the United States- San Bernardino Ft. Trey Songz, Miguel, Meaku and many more. CODE RED met up with Ms.Royalty and asked her certain questions, below is her responses:

Where did the name Afrikan Royalty Entertainment Come from?

Well as you know, I am African by Blood, Royalty by God and Entertainment by Business, I put it together and it sounded splendid.

How did you get involved in the Industry at such a young age of 13?

My mother is a business woman to the core, my father passed away when I was younger and my mother made sure she gave us the best in life, so watching her business ethics and her way of life, I knew from about age 9 that I want that, I want to be successful in my own name, not by inheritance, or trust fund, but by my own sweat. So, later on I realized that I loved to watch fashion shows and all that and wanted to get involved in modeling, my mother was my manger gave me her full support, I look like a model ( lol- that’s my confidence talking ) so I went ahead with it, in less than a year, I got an offer to host a tv show, I was modeling for phone companies, banks, lotions and it was great, my mother was teaching me the ways to handle certain aspects in life in a business outlook. So I matured way faster for my age.

Who is your biggest Inspiration?

Firstly, God, because the Bible defines who we are, it says we are Great, we are fearfully and wonderfully made, we are blessed and highly favored and I wanted to live up to that standard. That everything I set my mind on will prosper because God has given me favor. Secondly, my mother- she is a very strong woman, highly educated, business minded, great heart and successful so she is my drive in life.

There have been rumors of future projects you have going on in Nigeria as well as the UK that has been featured with your name in magazines, is that true?

It’s no rumors, I wouldn’t go in detail about them right now, I rather let my actions speak for me on that because as of now, everything is still in the process of becoming..

On a personal level- is there a special someone in your life and what do you look for in a man?

There are special people in my life, am I in a relationship with any of them? No, because before you get in a relationship you need to know the person you’re falling for is willing to catch you. In a man I look for consistency and a man who has the fear of God in his heart.

What can you say to those who are inspired by whom you are and who you are becoming?

Stay true to yourself; believe in yourself, because if you can’t believe in what you doing how do you expect others to. Never settle for less and become comfortable with that. Strive to achieve more, be more and remember it’s not that you cannot afford a certain item but it is how you can afford it, don’t look at what others are doing but think of what you want to do and get it done.
