OMG!...I'm 30! Byron's Birthday Bash-a-thon!


Ok.. how do I start off what was supposed to be a regular birthday weekend for one of my best friends Byron. Ok well, if u know Byron then u know that it's not going to be anything regular! Ok so we all decided to meet up in New Orleans for Byron's "OMG...I'm 30! Birthday Bash-a-thon! " I did not know what the plans were until I got here even though I saw the itinerary twice, cuz u just never know with Byron. So we go to this spot called Monkey Hill.(I know Right?) Ironically enough, there are zero black people at monkey hill.. But it is an awesome bar to hang out! I had never been.. But I do want to go back! I really loved the plush sofa lounge area set up! A-1! So I have to give it up to Koraan and Pat for putting together a real nice party for Byron. The theme was Memoirs of a Geisha! The best part was that they actually had the movie playin on the screen in the bar! We had Sushi rolls all night and were drinking the night away! The guest list
included myself,Sinali,Kurt T and his Fiancee,Sergio and (ebony), pat Koraan and Damian! Ok so I think nobody drank more than the Birthday boy himself! He was wasted off of 4 Bookers!(idk just some Hella strong ass liquor that u should not have more than one shot of.) anyway, this dude was done! I mean he drank like a fish! We had a ball just laughing at his ass all night! So I was deemed the Paparazzi all night because I had the big cool looking camera! But nothing beat me following Byron into the bathroom and before I snap the photo Sergio yells "Who's ya Daddy Bitch!" and Byron goes into complete panic/bitch mode! He said he thought he was about to get raped on his B-day! Hilarious!!!! All in all we had a great time! We went to 360 after than just to keep the party going but it truly was a classic night to remember! OMG! I'm 30!! Classic!

Whats YOUR Brand?



U ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!
I am Super excited about my new Power Mogul Productions Brand. I started this brand to give people a fresh look as to what I am doing and have been doing for the past few months. This is the Low Res Version but I think its dope. Make Sure you tell everyone you think that you know that its going down like there is a wale in the boat! PMP is officially on the MAP! I think people forget the importance of branding yourself. There is nothing like originality. If you got a certain style.. Brand that Sh*T before someone else does. I have had MANY Ideas Stolen from me because I didnt carry them out long enough to ensure them and put my stamp on it. Then someone else just picked up where I left off and finished the blueprint I created. (Sucks I know) But you know.. thats how it is out here.. Its Business.. We are not friends. So It was a hard lesson learned. At the end of the day I had to respect it and LEARN from it.
This is an EXTENSION of the Hit Makers Enterprise (HME) brand. You know I love GRIFFIN Birds. (My Last Name) Also it brings something familiar to those who already know about HME. Let me know what you think..

What Makes YOU a MOGUL?

I realize that people may be wondering where do I get off calling myself a "Mogul" if they have never heard of me before. Being a mogul is a mindset; It is the ability to know that anything you do will be profitable. It is the actualized Boss Mindset. Maybe you are thinking.. "Who does he think he is?" So this entry is to provide a little background information about who the "Power Mogul" is.
In 2002 I started a New Orleans based entertainment company "Effortless Entertainment." I started as a record producer and was soon rubbing elbows with many of the South's premier artists as Platinum selling artists Nappy Roots, David Banner, Cash Money Artists, Six-Shot,Mack Maine (Young Money), K. Gates (BET's Ultimate Hustler) ect.. And many local artists: Ms Tee, Cheeky Black, Hot Boy Ronald and many of the New Orleans greats. During this time my company released several mixtapes featuring many of these artists (Mixtapes will be available for purchase on this site soon.) "This is Effortless Vol.1", "504 Takeover", "effortless" the group album.
Looking to set my sights on greater accomplishments, I moved to Washington D.C. in August 2002 to further my music career. I auditioned for P.Diddy's "Making The Band." However they were not looking for producers only artists. I decided to stay on the East Coast for 6 months during witch I gave my tracks out to many famous artists such as Lil' Jon, Devin the Dude, 8 Ball & MJG. I ended up hosting a freestyle competition in Philadelphia called "Mic Check 2002" with Dice Raw of the Platinum Selling Roots Band. There I met up with DoodleBug from Grammy nominated Digable Planets. I moved back home to be closer to family.
In 2003 I released DownsouthHipHopSpaceMuzik (My most creative and free spirited work to date.) This was my debut producton release. The Hit Single "Dirty Dirty" (Feat. B.Stille nad R. Prophet of Nappy Roots) was a Southern Club anthem. This was my first actual "Radio Hit."
In 2005 I started Hit Makers Enterprise with my cousin "GRIP." Moving the business to Baton Rouge where I started a Recording Studio as well as a string of events to promote the brand as well as GRIP the artist. 2006 the release of "Fresh Out" created quite the online buzz in the local scene. Hit Makers Enterprise H.M.E. was rapidly gaining speed and respect as one of the premier entertainment powerhouses in Louisiana. The Hit Single "WOW" (Not to be confused with KIA SHINE's fraudulent version of our song)Rang from every Club to every
Club in the region. From there I went on to do a host of Commercials for parties and clubs.
This is partially what started the creation of the mogul. Once I realized that I could essentially make ANYTHING Possible.. I knew what it took to be a Mogul.

What tha Bizness Is??

So I have been on the hunt for my new online hustle. I have ran many businesses before but I always run into one major problem... TIME! I am looking for a company that will damn near run itself. Almost completely outsourced. Basically I am looking for Passive Income. Any suggestions? Being that I am in the music industry I would like for it to be about music but I really don't know. Just in the brainstorming phase right now. I may write a book and do some tours. If you have some help hit me up.

Why We Be Bloggin?

Ok. This is my first blog on Blogspot.com. I didnt really know what to type in the heading box so I just posed the question. "Why we Be Bloggin?" I really dont have an answer besides the fact that I guess everyone feels like they have something to say and just wished they had an audience to listen to it.
I feel now is the best time for me to start documenting my thoughts.. cuz hey, who knows how long I'll be here and somebody has to recognize that im a genius before I leave. Right? Right. So.. Why Do We Be Bloggin?.. I guess these blogs are a way that we can show off our truly creative or satirical nature to the world. Maybe its also a way to release some stress. It seems to sure be improving my typing skills. So here it is. The beginning of the end. Soon people wont even speak to each other on the street without referring to their blogspot. Crazy huh? I guess so... I guess so.

Peace in the Middle East.
