YouTube Influencer Mike Relm On Branding And Hip-Hop Mike Relm is a YouTube influencer who is rapidly changing the way people look at music and video. Being a pioneer of mixing video on screens in front of packed crowds got him touring with The Blue Man Group and Tony Hawk among others. Then he was asked to remix movie trailers and he's been altering the way we look at the potential of music, video, and sound ever since.

Allhiphop.com's Chuck Creekmur on the Music Industry and Tech "The Hip-Hop community have always been innovators and early adopters of technology from the very beginning of the art form.

48 Laws of Obama: Strategy Expert Robert Greene on How Barack Made History On May 20, 2008, Barack Obama won the state of Oregon. No matter what opinion people made about Obama "not being ready to lead" a bi-racial man with a Muslim father and a Christan mother had taken one more step toward entering the Oval Office.

The 50th Law: Strategy Expert Robert Greene & The Hustlers Mind In an era where young people are less likely to be in church and more likely to be influenced by hustlers, rappers and movies like Scarface, things have changed. The 48 Laws of Power by author Robert Greene, has emerged as the hustlers Bible in hip hop. I have personally met people in the rap game that can quote Robert Green's Laws by number, more readily than they can quote any other book intended to refine their life. Any independent would be music mogul without The 48 Laws of Power is a pawn of those around him.

Eddie Bravo: Formless Wisdom Pt. 1
By: Adisa Banjoko
