The two recognize music and entertainment as vehicles for fueling the MOVEMENT.  Through music and entertainment the two are working to positively impact the local community and abroad.

With a full house at Hot TV on November 6, the voices of Indie Artists, the community and entertainment supporters were heard loud and clear. Since the Kick Off Party took place the internet (Facebook and Twitter) and the streets have been blazing with talk on the success of the event. More importantly, people are discussing the change in media and the representation of Indie Artists in the Houston and surrounding areas. Artists from Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas came out to support and represent their talent live.

The Hot TV stage was laced with pure talent from Indie Artists as K-Rino performed with precision and a verbal eruption, spitting true knowledge. Vince Bryant, showcasing his verbal diversity ignited the crowd performing hits like GoodTimes, produced by the “JDilla Reincarnated” producer, Jeffrey Sadik McNeil. Long term relationships were made at this event and continue to build as artists are coming together to show love and respect for one another. This event proves to be the beginning of many more successful artistic collaborations and events held in conjunction with 97.6 BreakIt! Radio, Breaking the Labels and HOT TV.

In this defining moment where all African American-owned media, entertainment and broadcasting companies are making history in Houston and the Gulf Coast Region, the owner of Hot TV (Houston’s Own Talent), Malik Rasheed, who has been a pillar in the community for surrounding artists has moved the Hot TV Show to Channel 21 (UTN – Urban Television Network), an all African American-owned TV network seven days a week. 97.6 BreakIt! Radio is proud to be a part of this historical moment, hosting the 97.6 BreakIt! Radio Kick Off Party at the very home that has been an avenue since 1999 for Houston artists to gain exposure. 

Trust there is a shift in media, broadcasting, TV networking and entertainment. No truer words have ever been written. The Houston community is standing behind 97.6 BreakIt! Radio, Hot TV, UTN 21 and the Breaking the Labels MOVEMENT to EMPOWER change and to have their voices heard in a major way.

BreakIt! News: THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH VANESSA CHOZEN MARIE OF BREAKING THE LABELS… REAL TALK

In this forum, we can have REAL TALK conversations.  I am not trying to make the conversations look pretty, spice them up or play them down. I want you to have the entire deal… how it comes to me and how it is presented by others. I will ask that we all operate with integrity, respect and decency, however.  The floor is open to comments so please feel free to leave them.

Over the last couple of days I have loaded the EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Vanessa Chozen Marie of the BREAKING THE LABELS Movement , Segments I, II and III onto YouTube and Facebook. The purpose of the video segments is to give people some insight into what Breaking the Labels is all about. Breaking the Labels is not only a business unit; it is also a MOVEMENT. The MISSION of the MOVEMENT is incredible. If you have not watched the videos, I encourage you to log on to either YouTube or Facebook to watch them. [YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/BreakingtheLabels]

These segments represent the first series and introduction to the Mission of Breaking the Labels. The dialogue and feedback thus far has been incredible. I enjoy, more than anything the participation, of others. That type of involvement allows readers who are silently watching to witness views on mission topics from all different perspectives. We have been so cleverly programmed that many do not realize they are programmed. Therefore, deprogramming is in order. Until you tune into your own thinking and involve yourself in activities that provoke thought you are essentially trapped within a singular mindset. Singular mindset is that of the masses… the typical thinking that is consistent with what is acceptable to society. In order to advance our thinking we must change our MINDsets – realize where we have been misdirected in the past and how we are constantly living within a system that preys on the hope that we will be ignorant in our thinking.

As I mentioned before, Breaking the Labels is about more than just music. Music is a vehicle for delivering the message and carrying out the mission; however, we touch on many issues such as fashion, religion, media, education, social standards and more.  If I could use an all inclusive word we are focusing on LIFE and more importantly than just life, we are focusing on a label-free life.  Kalum Johnson, as a rap artist has experienced labeling first hand.  After watching Segment I of the Interview videos, Kalum told me, “People say I rap about pain, drama and fun times in my life, so I was headed to what the world is doing, but after hearing this I’m going to do me.” Those words alone let me know that Breaking the Labels is truly serving its purpose. To provoke thought… to incite thinking that goes beyond the norm… to help people realize they do not have to conform to a societal view in order to be accepted or to be successful. To paraphrase what Kalum said, it is ok to be yourSELF!

Breaking Cycles

Mama always told me
Girl, you are gonna get yo’ self a good husband
One who loves and cherishes you
One you can have fun with
And honey you are so pretty
I know he is gonna want a lot of kids
Ones you can raise and call yo own
Have a lot of wonderful talks with
Mama said
And girl you are so smart
I know you are gonna help that man
Run his house like an art
She said I see those boys watching you
They love to see you smile
They just be so filled up with you
I always see them hanging around here for a while
And you are a virtuous young lady
I know cuz I raised you that way
So that man will be blessed to get you
And he will know it in every way
Mama would carry on a bit
And we would keep working in the fields
She’d talk about how I would make a good wife
And silently I would be spinning my wheels
I didn’t wanna be a wife
I didn’t even want no kids
I didn’t care what boy was looking at me
I just knew I wanted to live
Run as far as I could from the country
Try to have me a good life
But all mama could talk about was me being a wife

(Ten years later)

I showed up on mama’s door step
With one suitcase and a belly
One daughter in my hand
Said hi mama this here is Shelly
I hadn’t seen mama in years
Not since the day I got married
I married some city boy
Who rode me away in a carriage
Mama said what you here for child
I haven’t seen you in so long
And where is yo’ husband
He ain’t gonna want you gone too long
I said I know mama
Is it ok if we come in
I put Shelly down
She and mama instantly became friends
Mama could see my face
She said now child don’t you worry
Whatever is the matter now
God will fix it in a hurry
You got yo’ self a real good husband
Who pays all the bills
You ain’t gotta work for nothing
Cuz you got a good man as yo shield
She just kept folding her clothes
And I began to cry
Mama said hush now child
Everything is gonna be alright
I said mama he beats me
He even pulls out my hair
Doesn’t matter if I am good to him
I must always beware
Mama stopped for a minute,
But she didn’t lift her head
She said me and yo’ daddy had those problems
But I don’t wanna talk about him now he’s dead
I said mama I can’t stay
And take this from that man no mo’
He beats me in front of Shelly
Even drags me cross the flo’
Mama said hush now child
Everything’s gonna be alright
You just pray and ask the Lord
To make that man alright
I said yes ma’am
Then I went to my old room
I left Shelly with mama
I was feeling so confused
I took a bottle of pills
How many I didn’t care
All I knew was
I felt pain everywhere

(The next morning)

Mama tried to wake me
But I didn’t make a sound
She even tried to move me
Shelly heard her voice resound
Mama cried hard
And Shelly didn’t understand
Mama regained her strength
Then took Shelly by the hand
She told Shelly
Well, baby doll
It looks like it’s just me and you
Yo mama is gone now
And here is what we gonna do
I want you to be a doctor
Not a nurse of the sorts
Cuz you can do anything
That is deep inside yo heart
I want you to be a lawyer
Matter of fact you should be the judge
You can sit on the Supreme Court
If you study them laws enough
I don’t ever want you to forget
That deep inside you have dreams
Don’t give them up for someone else
Shelly, not even for me
I tried to be a good mother
And an even better wife
But one thing I never did
Was live my own life
Now Shelly you promise me
Before you get too big
If you don’t do anything else
Promise me you gonna live
