BOA Spotlight Series September 2012: BOA Co-founder/A&R, Nyrik “Reek” Lee

Twitter: @ReekDude 1. Have you always wanted to be an A&R? Ummmmmm Nah because when I first got involved in music I didn’t even know what that was, I’m just a fan of music that happens to have a distinct ear for it……I did always want my own music company which I have now with my BOA partners….the A&R part being the creative lead on that came from me being a supreme fan, and being involved in underground movements in different cities, always being in the know on what’s hot, what’s not, what’s new and having the vision to see a plan for an artist before the masses.

Dj Mustard signs with Roc Nation

Posted by admin in Featured, Home No Comments »

I am sure if you listen to the radio or have hit any club you’ve heard “Mustard on the beat!” in front of at least one song. The “Rack City” producer, Dj Mustard is one of the newest and hottest producers out and has no signs of stopping as he is now signed to one of the best labels in the industry. He talked to VIBE about his new venture and stated, “My lawyer had been in talks with Jay Brown from Roc Nation for a long time.” He continues to say that “Roc brings something new to the table, things I can’t do on my own.” He plans on sticking to the script and not changing for anyone. Maybe we have a Jay-Z collab on the way? Who knows. Nice to see what he has in store though. Is 2013 his year?
