So Hot, It’s the New Definition of Cool!

2. Hip Hop Indies
Sean “Jay Z Carter Snoop Lil’ Wayne
Independent Hip Hop artists are like a farm system for the genre! Some of the biggest names in the business
began their careers performing in underground music venues where their creativity was allowed to flow
unbridled. They put themselves out there for public scrutiny for little more than the chance for some
exposure—a chance to be heard! The legendary Sean “Jay Z” Carter—the ultimate Indie is famous for his
underground performances and selling his early CDs out of the back of his car. Independent Music Tours
provide the next generation of Hip Hop superstars a testing ground; a platform for free self-expression and a
venue for high profile exposure. That’s the spirit of “Music is My Life”: The Underground Music Tour”!
3. “Music is My Life”: The Underground Music Tour
Destiny Divine’s production of “Music is My Life”: The Underground Music Tour brings together nearly two
dozen national and local Hip Hop and R&B artists who bring a diversity of musical style, swag and local
culture to the stage, entertaining intimate gatherings of 400 – 800 independent Adult 21- 35 Hip Hop fans at
each stop!
Young Jeezy Lil’ John Omarion
Each show takes on a distinctively different flavor, integrating core artists with the best of Indie artists known
to the specific market and region, followed by an after-party in each market. This not only provides a high
value entertainment opportunity for fans, but provides a tremendous vehicle for establishing/enhancing
street credibility with this progressive Urban lifestyle group!

5. “Music is My Life”: The Underground Music Tour:
An Expression of Individualism & Creativity
I Am…Socially Conscious!
I Am…An aspirant who consumes disproportionately based on my aspirations and sense of
what’s cool!
I Am…Too cool and so, so “deep”! You’ve gotta “bring it” to move me!
I Am…Out here making things happen—taking control of my own destiny!
I Am…Fortunate enough to have a household where we pull down at least $50,000 a year!
I Am…Proud to be a young, progressive African-American (71%) or Latino (21%)!
I Am…A bold young brother (65%) who shares the spotlight and stage with women (35%) who
see the world my way and want to go where I’m trying to go!
6. Meet Nemesis Superstar
The Artistic Force Behind the Tour
“Nemesis” is often used as a term to describe one's worst enemy, normally someone or
something that is the exact opposite of oneself but is also somehow similar.
This definition perfectly describes Atlanta’s enigmatic Nemesis Superstar: She’s creative
savvy and amazing intuitiveness, wrapped in a veil of innocence that belies her fiery hot
sexuality and dynamic energy—transforming any stage into an orgy of truth, attitude and pure
narcissistic indulgence!
