“Who to know” in the Chicago Hip-Hop scene

Hello everyone so a couple of years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a future pioneer in Chicago’s growing underground hip hop scene. His name ladies and gentlemen is, BEKOE.

A Chicago native born on the Westside of Chicago who ultimately came into the game as an artist but fate had something much bigger in mind. Currently he host along side radio personality and motivational speaker Illinois Jones on IIlanoize Radio. Bekoe started the iLLANOiZE brand which has grown significantly since its inception in 2013.He has coordinated and promoted his own events creating a platform for other talented artists that had been overlooked in the Chi.

iLLANOiZE LLC has turned into a platform that provides, radio broadcasting, marketing, promotion, website design, media coverage, events, distribution and more.

Introduction to HOH

So Let me tell you about the exciting story behind HoH(House of Hustle)..Where should I begin.Well,I’m pretty much a nomad of sorts.I enjoy traveling.
Its been 10 years since I’ve made Chicago home.My goal was to create a start in a career field not yet explored and I found opportunities in the music field behind the scenes.I worked as a personal assistant to a local artist for 6 years and helped in all aspects to create an artist with depth and originality.

What better place than to help cultivate new talent than in the chi the nations #1 in media.I packed up my bags and took the leap from Ft. Lauderdale,FL in 2009 and never looked back.

at the age of 19 I didnt know too much.I lived off my hopes and vision of creating an agency here in Chicago.I wanted to give back to my roots. Incorporating my passions for cooking and the arts.The question would be how do I blend all of these complimenting factors into a business plan? Well what better way than to take my joys and opinions,and job background and take the best aspects and host my own food vlog “The Cook Up” and master my skills as a Network/media consultant and Talent Manager.

Time management has always been a factor growing up for me and the military parenting styles of my mother and step-father in one word translated to one simple word “HUSTLE”.when naming came to mind I just thought of how much it took to run a household and to consistently go back to add to the foundation and structure of a well ran house.How do you incorporate that into a business mission statement to help clients?

Well tune in next week for the answer…
