Mic One-Two One Two @ Check The Mic

Down the street around the corner up the elevator and out we step into a room full of MC's. Not only were there guys every where but the women seem to really be making there mark in this male dominate industry. On the stage was IPGillian dressed in all whited fitted dress a gold choker and a pair of Nike's to set it all off.  At first glance you see an elegant lady perfectly manicured and ready for the stage then as your ears begin to take over, you hear the lyrics spill from her mouth piece like a true MC perfectly pitched as she mesmerized the audience. As the night went on one MC after another took the stage and rocked the mic.

Each MC got exactly 90 seconds, a green wrist band and a number. As there group of numbers was called they lined up near the DJ, all nice and orderly, each doing there own thing to get them ready for the stage.  Some were very good and some where .... well let's just say some need to go back to the drawing board. I must say that 24/7 did a very good job at organizing this event. Some of the other favorites was _SalamThePoet, OhZeeSince92 he was a bit nervous and had a fumble but when he got back up I truly enjoyed his flow.

Finally the main attraction steps to the mic, Oriiana Jamese better known as MochaBeeZ. MochaBeeZ a graduate from  Eastern Illinois University with her BS in Health Promotion with a concentration in Emergency Management/Disaster Preparation. She is a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority a student at Illinois Media School a model, videographer and an artist/MC. This young lady is truly a star on the rise. With her small frame  and child like voice you would never think she had bars. But the language that was released from her mouth piece was love, struggle, pride, determination and strength. Be sure to take some time to follow her on IG and subscribe to her YouTube page and add her on FB. You can hear some of her tracks like Mixed Emotions on BizTalk every Monday 6pm-7pm live on windycityunderground.com or on Facebook at Illinois Media School.

If you are an artist looking to get more exposure and want your music played on BizTalk please send a short bio and two clean radio ready tracks to wowthatgirlolvia@gmail.com

On Saturday, July 13, 2019 the Chicago chapter of the Black CEO's had a gathering of like minds. Strong black women from all different backgrounds sit at a table to discuss developing there gifts and what it means to be a part of an Economic Engine. ER Spaulding starts the event off by introducing her brother one of the CO-Owners of The Soul Vegetarian Restaurant. After a brief introduction of the restaurant and its goals and its history. ER Spaulding opens up the gathering by defining what Black CEO is all about and what the opposite of wealth is. She states that "The opposite of wealth is under developed resources and poor is just the reflection of what we did with those resources..." In the room was:

Now quick disclaimer the dressing is amazing. Just the right creamy yet sweet yet very light dressing. I will be filling my fridge with it the next time I go grocery shopping. 

• ER Spaulding founder of Black Women Startup and Director of the Black CEO. I must add that this lady is strong she is powerful she is compelling she is stern yet very easy to engage with. She knows what she is talking about and when she talks her passion and compassion spills from her aura like the glow of a bride on her wedding day.

Masterminds just many masterminds in a room. Where everyone is ready to not only assist in building and developing their own brand and business but also willing to take a second to assist the next sister in her up-rise. Not only was the company good and the conversations enlightening but the food not only made my taste buds dance but from the sounds of the hmm's and aah's I  believe its safe to say that the food satisfied everyone's taste buds even the virgins of vegan food. From the vegan delight to the deep fried mushrooms and the Garvey Burger with a Ginger Al to wash it down I would defiantly rate, The Soul Vegetarian Restaurant , The Bizness.
