Edmund (Trama ) Batts, One of the hottest hip hop producers in North Carolina, was born in Jacksonville, NC on January 25, 1982. He left school to pursue a musical career producing some of the best hip hop samples in the North Carolina region. Like many of the inner city youth in the area, Edmund Batts chose to take a detour onto the wrong side of the tracks which led him to an unwelcomed vacation into North Carolina’s prison system.
Unlike many young men who spend time in Prison, Edmund (Trama) Batts has definitely learned his lesson. Many may view spending time in a correctional facility as a misfortune. However, Trama sees it as a blessing in disguise. He admits his mistakes gave him the opportunity to grow as a man. While paying his debts to society, Edmund (Trama) Batts was provided the time he needed to begin educating himself as well as to construct a plan.
Trama understands the importance of building a Strong Team as well as having a strong work ethic. For this reason Trama spends his days producing blazing hip hop beats and networking with other music producers and artist. Trama realizes having a career as a hip hop producer is not the normal career choice for the average young man. He is the first to admit he is not the average. There aren’t many people who actually choose a career path which involves doing what they love to do.
It is not a secret that Trama loves producing hip hop music. According to Trama, music soothes the soul. In his opinion, there is nothing like relaxing to one of his hip hop instrumentals. Like many of the already successful producers such as Kanye West and Dr. Dre, producing hip hop samples is his specialty. Trama has been producing hot tracks since 1998 and has shown love to many local artists by giving away over 100 hip hop samples to many of the hottest local artists.
North Carolina is an untapped market when it comes to music. If the truth is told, North Carolina is full of talented Music Producers & Artists who are just as talented as many of the hip hop producers who are responsible for tracks which blaze the charts today. J Cole of “Cole World” The Sideline Story is the most recent talent to come out of North Carolina. J Cole was diligent enough to grind his way to the top for two years and the rest is history. J Cole’s album is the number one album in the country, topping the charts with tracks that he produced himself.
In order to hit the big time, music producers are known to leave NC in pursuit of placing their hip hop instrumentals in the hands of Music executives who can make it happen. Paul Dawson, aka Hollywood HotSauce is a famous producer from New Bern North Carolina who has produced major tracks for artist such as 50 Cent, Usher, Chris Brown, Robin Thick, Nas, Nelly, Weezer, Keyshia Cole, Mary J Blige, Rick Ross, Tyga and many more, Hip hop production or making hip hop beats has become more attractive among young budding entrepreneurs in the music industry.
Do not be surprised to see a huge increase in superstars emerging out of the North Carolina area. Many believe J Cole of “Cole World” has put North Carolina on the map. After listening to J Cole’s album, I can’t help but agree. J Cole has proven that raw talent is hidden in the underground alleys of North Carolina. Producing music & hip hop samples is not a hobby for Trama it is a career and a lifestyle. Trama is excited about the future and is ready to take his career to the next level.

First, I would like to say thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to spend a portion of it with me. It’s amazing how quickly time flies… It has almost been a year since I leaped into entrepreneurship. I honestly believe this was the fastest year of my life. I’ve always heard time flies when you are having fun… I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the expression time flies when you are trying to get something accomplished! But it definitely does! lol!

You know, It isn’t rocket science. If you want different results in your life you must do something different. Although that statement seems so simple, most people, including myself do a great job of making it very complex. For most of us, doing something different takes too much effort. Therefore many of us stay on the treadmill of “Same old crap just a different day,” while taking refuge in our daily complaints of how much our lives suck! Sound familiar?

For me, those things were all too familiar. To be honest, they became part of my daily routine. Yikes! I was becoming one of them! You know, one of those people who just complain… complain… complain… but are too damn weak, lazy, or what ever you want to call it to do anything about it.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’m better than anyone but I know I’m better than that! So, you know what came next… I took that big leap of faith into entrepreneurship. What a leap it was! While taking my leap of faith, I made a few sacrifices. Visit my about me page to find out about a few of them.

Funny how quickly things can change within a year. A year ago, I began this journey seeking entrepreneurship. However, as I look back on this past year, I realize embarking on my quest for entrepreneurship  has become more of a quest of  learning myself.   Although, I still have a ways to go, my sense of awareness has increased like no other. I am now more aware of many of my strengths as well as weaknesses. This new found awareness has propelled me to a great hunger for greatness.  Yes! Greatness! For me, Living a life of Greatness, Is living a life with purpose and fulfillment. (Something I didn’t know existed a year ago)

I’m blown away when I think of how much I’ve learned.  One important lesson I’ve learned over the past year is “Greatness” can not be accomplished alone. Big Surprise right? So simple but yet again I know how to make something so simple become so complex. You see, I have always had this controlling nature. For some reason, I have always felt the need to be in control of everything. As if there is truly such a thing! Allowing someone other than myself to do something for me did not exist. I always felt there was something attached to it. I have always felt the need to put up this wall and protect myself from the world. In all actuality the person I truly needed to protect myself from has always been myself! Let me explain a little. Due to being in many situations in the past in which I felt I didn’t have control, I made a promise to myself to always stay in control. It truly didn’t matter what it was. For instance, when issues were to arise with my immediate family I would always find myself consumed with their issues while struggling to get a grasp on the many things that I need to do. (still a  work in progress)  Needless to say, My priorities would be put on the back burner and the other issues would always take precedence. I’m sure you can imagine how that would turn out. Can you say self sabotage? To make matters worse, I realized I was sabotaging myself in just about every area of my life.

  • Finances (Spending more than I was making most times)
  • Spiritual Relationship ( What Relationship)
  • Health (Struggling with same unwanted weight gain)
  • Family (Remaining a crutch.. Playing Superwoman)
  • Love Life (Non Existing)

Getting a little personal I know…. but so true. You see, choosing to travel a different path consequently threw me into a circle of people who were totally different than what I was used to and as a result increased my awareness of my own self sabotage.  In case you are not aware, “Awareness” is the first step. It’s impossible to work on a problem that you aren’t aware that you have in the first place! Sadly, this is where most people spend life. (Unaware in the Matrix)

Bottom line life is all about choices. My life is a direct reflection of choices I have made. Whether good or bad, the choices I have made show up in my life. Because, I was unhappy with my results I chose to make moves and I continue to do so. In my opinion we should always continue to be a work in progress. Becoming a better me will always be on my list of  ”Things to Do.” Therefore it’s important for me to reposition myself  as many times as necessary to reach what I aspire, a life of fulfillment and purpose. A few of the things that have helped me have been seeking solutions instead of spending time complaining, committing to learning, and taking action.

You too can add becoming a better you onto your list of “things to do.” All you have to do is Keep it Simple by making a choice to get started and take action.  We may or may not have similar issues however, there is one thing I believe is for sure. There is always room for improvement. ;)

How many times have you felt you could have a particular moment for life? I don’t know about you, but for me, to feel that I can have a particular moment in life means life must be phenomenal in every area. It’s quite funny that most of us can’t begin to entertain the thought of having a phenomenal life in every area. We say we want it, but to be honest we truly do not have faith that it can truly happen. We become complacent with the same old day to day routine with no faith or work in place to make our dreams a reality. This is exactly why most live a life of mediocrity. Many of us are broke busted and disgusted and our children do not look up to or respect us. We then begin to wonder why! Pay close attention…. The people our children begin to look up to are living by simple principles. Whether you like it or not, their role models are in Hollywood! (The Entertainment World) Pay attention! For example, I actually took the time to listen to the lyrics on one of my daughter’s cd’s Nicki Minaj to be exact.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nicki Minaj Moment 4 life lyrics

I fly with the stars in the skies, I am no longer trying to survive, I believe that life is a prize, but to live doesn’t mean you’re alive. Don’t worry about me and who I fire, I get what I desire, it’s my empire, And yes, I call the shots I am the umpire, I sprinkle holy water upon the vampire. In this very moment I’m king. In this very moment I slayed Goliath with the sling. This very moment I bring put it on everything, that I will retire with the ring

And I will retire with the crown, Yes! No I’m not lucky I’m blessed, Yes! Clap for the heavyweight champ, Me! But I couldn’t do it all alone, We! Young Money raised me, grew up out in Baisley. Southside Jamaica, Queens and it’s crazy! Cause I’m still hood, Hollywood couldn’t change me. Shout out to my haters, sorry that you couldn’t faze me.

Ain’t being cocky, we just vindicated Best believe that when we done this moment will be syndicated I don’t know, this night just remind me of Everything they deprived me of. Put your drinks up It’s a celebration every time we link up We done did everything they could think of. Greatness is what we on the brink of…. I wish that I could have this moment 4 life…4 life…4 life…. Cause in this moment I just feel so alive… alive… alive.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

After listening to those lyrics I’m not surprised she has a huge fan base from our kids. She sounds exactly like someone who set some goals and made the decision to make it happen by any means necessary. Failure was not an option! She decided to fly with the stars in the sky! In other words roll with people who could help her drive her vehicle to success. She decided she would be the best! She stated she was the king and slayed Goliath with the sling. There was no giant too big for her to slay! She acknowledges that she’s blessed gave a shout out to her haters and states they couldn’t faze her! Wow!!! No wonder my daughter likes Nicki Minaj!  It’s funny how it’s so easy for us to point the finger at everything that is wrong with other people who have become successful instead of paying attention to their work ethic and the principles in which they live by. Bottom line, you may or may not like Nicki Minaj. You may hate her music. You may believe she is a bad example for our youth. At the end of the day, she has produced fruit. Her fruit is the major reason she has such a voice. It’s important that we too as parents begin to produce fruit so that we will eventually have the louder voice. Enjoy the video and continue to Get Better, Be Better, Do Better. ;)

Much Success,

Build Your Home Business Using Zilergy!
If you’ve made the decision to build a home-based business, you have identified yourself as an entrepreneur with vision and foresight. You may have been introduced to a Multi-Level Marketing Company or you may be pursuing an original business idea. Regardless of your business model, growing your concept from an idea to a consistent money-maker takes the right tools and an air-tight marketing strategy.

In order to keep your relationship with consumers interesting and engaging online or offline takes work as well as careful consideration. It is important to go where the conversations are taking place to discover what makes your potential customers tick. In case you are not aware, Conversations are taking place online (Social Media) and via mobile phones (Text Messaging). Develop a strategy that keeps the intrigue going using Social Media & Mobile Marketing. You want to avoid simply bombarding your client’s inbox, you must stand out and keep them reading, viewing, clicking, and sharing.

Utilizing your Zilergy dashboard as the control panel for your marketing strategy is the obvious solution to organize your contacts and monitor your advertising campaigns. But remember, you must have vision and foresight. Limiting your communication to emails and text messages will only line you up with your competition. To move forward, take advantage of Zilergy’s Listen and Engage capability.

Listening and engaging with consumers in diverse and dynamic communities such as Twitter and Facebook is critical. With the presence of multiple social networking websites, it is essential to be organized and efficient. But remember, the key is to Listen and Engage. Therefore, your communication must be intuitive and genuine. Your goal is to engage or involve your audience; to evoke a response or an action.

Weaving in hot news topics that your subscribers would care about and responding to conversations that start in social media outlets are smarter, more meaningful ways to connect. As you listen to these discussions, consider the ways that your business offering fits into your clients’ lifestyles, then use your Zilergy dashboard to kick off a customized ad campaign before they even log off of Twitter. How powerful would it be to target potential clients using keywords for products or services that you currently provide? How powerful would it be to plan mobile and email blitzes directly to your target audience?

As you Listen and Engage with your audience, you are actively building your brand. You are keeping your business on your clients’ radars and you are developing a genuine relationship with them. You’ll realize that you are not just trying to schmooze your clients; you are actually conducting field research. Likely, you researched your audience when you began your home-based business. To keep up with your customers’ needs and interests, you should continue to conduct research throughout the lifetime of your business. Grow your subscriber list, conserve your time, and focus your marketing campaign by utilizing the full extent of your Zilergy dashboard.

Building a home business requires many skills: self-motivation, strong sales/marketing skills, attention to detail, time management, and self-discipline. Hopefully, you have chosen to promote a product or service that you genuinely believe in. But, keep your eye on the prize; true entrepreneurs are working to build residual and leveraged income. They are using their skills and knowledge to create wealth. The most successful business owners are utilizing operating systems like Zilergy to dominate the competition.

The bottom line: Stop wasting money on ineffective traditional advertising, and use your resources (Zilergy) to craft the marketing campaign that speaks to your audience and increases your revenue.
