A Big Deal

Took a meeting today with the people who really make the big money moves. Lyor Cohen, CEO of Warner Music, Tommy Mottola, Diddy, Kevin Liles, Craig Kallman, and a host of other execs who will be responsible for taking Cassie’s project to the heights of success. I’m just going to give you a clip of the intro…the rest is confidential.

Thank you all for making NextSelection what it is and what it is destined to become.

  27. omgpetey:

    I wanted to say thanks for creating such a wonderful blog and for sharing some of your creative process to the world. It is something that has given me perspective and more insight into developing personal creativity. There are so few resources for people to discover ways to develop their abilities, especially since good talent is so rare.

    CONGRATULATIONS to the NS4Life Team and Cassie!! I’m from the UK and the track, “Me&You” has been BIG for sometime and we’re all eagerly anticipating the video and joint to drop as a singles release over hurr!! Watching the blog vid with Puffy, Lyor (repping the Warners family :D ) and Mottola and looks like you guys are going places!! I’ve been a big fan for a longtime of NS4Life and the sincerity of the NS4life team/family really does come through. We’ve got a small team of guys here starting up our own non-profit website that aims to showcase up and coming talent. Part of the site will be dedicated to new artists and we would really like to do a feature on Cassie and some of the NextSelection artists. If there’s an appropriate contact for me to pass interview questions on to could someone please advise?

    Trust-XxX

    I feel that he was acknowleging the many gifts of a Man of GOD. Through God, all things are possible. If you’d just believe and whatsoever ye shall ask, it shall be given. Now if he said it, wpuld he not do it? Ofcourse he will. He is God who is perfect. Drummah Boyz Production Group veiwed your College 1998 Class Day ceremonies & you are truely set apart: put above all nations: & set on the path to gloryfy God. Aint he good. Know ask yourself. Could you have truely done it without him. NOPE! I believe GOD has a HUGE plan. NextSelection is the Movement. Oh yea, that is a shout out. What? You don’t believe me?
