Compton’s newest star BoogieFrmDa8 is a name everyone needs to be familiar with immediately. The Compton, California native is only 21 years old, but has the wisdom of an OG. Having grown up with a well-known street figure as his father and his mother a published author, Boogie’s upbringing was the perfect mix of brawn, brain, and discipline. Boogie’s story began on 148th street, on the west side of Compton, becoming a fixture in the Campanella Park neighborhood by 8 years old, taking on the role of lookout, ensuring the older guys on the block were alerted of any potential incoming threats. Although he grew up in the mecca of G-Funk and West-Coast Hip Hop, the music of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, The Game and Kendrick Lamar did not heavily influence Boogie.

With roots in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Boogie gravitated towards Plies, Lil Boosie and Lil Durk’s music and his music has subsequently been influenced by the southern acts. In 2018, at 18 years old, he started his rap career by rapping over the instrumental of hit records such as “Uno” by AMB Jayy, on Instagram going viral and earning the moniker “Mr. Takeover Beats.” Currently, in 2021, Boogie has picked up an immense amount of steam by consistently releasing singles featuring the hottest new artists in Los Angeles including “Pullin Skitz” featuring Baby Stone Gorillas, Treyway6k, and fellow Compton act YS.

This is the first of many new singles with accompanying visuals that will be released through the end of this year as he looks to go into 2022 recognized as Compton’s next superstar.

The Kamanzi Company presents “Kickin Knowledge” the first black owned NFT feature film.

The narrative fiction resolves around two cousins Zain and Ali, who share a philosophical conversation over breakfast on different topics including failure, comfort zones, humanity being better creators or destroyers, and love existing without hate or jealousy.

The film features Raymond Watanga and Ezekiel Ajeigbe, and it is written and directed by Adinan Kamanzi.

“Personally, this was one of the more challenging films I’ve had to tackle. With no rehearsals, so much dialogue, and being slammed with auditions during the height of pilot season, Ray and I really had to be on our toes to film this in 7 days or less. Despite that, the set environment was never stressful, but rather it was always calm and easy going. Overall, the film has a handful of real life messages that aren’t always discussed amongst people which is what drew me to wanting to be a part of it in the first place,” comments Ezekiel Ajeigbe.
