Huh, I got an exciting icon y'all for y'all tonight. And his
name is actual CEO Fortune. And I'm just gonna give you a little bit
of history about this entertainer named Ceo Fortune. Yeah yeah, man, yeah
man. So so you know, I hope, y'all, I hope that
Ceo Fortune be an inspiration to not just blacks, but the whole world all
over. But I just wanted to just you, Donna, just inform the
people in this Black History Month about Ceo Fortune and give you just a little
briefing about who he is. Okay, Well, Ceo Fortune is actually an
entertainer, an entertainer who actually had an upbringing in entertainer. He actually watched
the likes of Angie Stone be groomed by his grandfather. Okay, and his
grandfather had a band in a little town called Columbia, South Carolina called Midnight
Blue. And this Midnight Blue Band was actually a little independent label that he
started because he had hopes of actually, like you know, being big in
the music industry after fighting in the Vietnam War and making it back okay,
from the Vietnam War. Ceo Fortune an actual grandfather who name was Beaver Daniel
Hodge. Well, watching Angie Stone come up inside his grandfather's music band basement
inspired him as a little child. Now, Ceo Fortune, he actually wanted
to always play the drum because he always played the drum inside his grandfather's basement
where he groomed his band called the Midnight Blue. They played at numerous of
local clubs in Columbia area, like The Purple Rain was one of them.
Well, Ceo Fortune actually did his first performance or first recording for his grandfather
at the actual age of four years old. He actually did his first recording
on one nose little portable push record cassette or dub or sets that his grandfather
were having side the studio, and he actually performed the song that he did
for his grandfather called drug Ward along with his cousin. His younger cousin Daniel
Hodge. Well, his actual grandfather just laughed at him and said keep working
at a baby, One day you gonna be something. Well, that inspired
him to always want to play the drums. So when he actually made it
to middle school, his grandfather took him to go find his instrument to play
because his grandfather actually made him go into band class. He didn't want to
do band class because he felt like he had all the experience he needed,
but watching his grandfather's band of Midnight Blue and Angie Stone actually groomed herself to
be what she would be. Well, his grandfather actually made him play the
trumpet and told him, you got a drum at home, baby, a
whole drum set. Why would you wanna play something that you already knowing?
Master, that's not funny. Well, he then went to learn how to
play the trumpet, but he still did not like it because he will always
have to awe the vials and it'll always blister his lips until he found out
how to really play it well later on Inside Life See Your Fortune then ran
into the lights of ice Tea, who actually sat down with him and told
him one day that he would actually run the game because at the time,
when he wasn't performing or rapping, he actually was studying this book called This
Business of Music by Donald Pathman. And when he showed ice T this book
that he was reading inside a cafe in the Bronx, when he saw ice
T with his bodyguard and some nice looking lady that was with him that wasn't
Coco at the time, and that's not funny, he actually told him that
let me hear some bars, and the boss that CEO Fortune spit for him
made him actually give him Premier's address, and he actually told Ceo Fortune ice
Ta himself send a demo to Premier and tell him that I told you to
send it. But Ceo Fortune was not groomed or polished, nor did he
have connections to actually record in studios on a major level other than sixty second
Assassin from Wu Tang Klan reaching out to him when he was living in Brooklyn
even though he's not from New York at the age of nineteen, who stayed
on Top Scott in Sutter And for everybody that know actually sixty second Assassin,
it is old dirty bastard cousin. Well, he introduced him to Boo the
Monk, Yeah, the one and known the legendary Boot the Monk who actually
record recorded plo style. Boo the Monk pull his file for a Rakwan the
chef and method man. Well, he actually was had access to Boot the
Monk's house and studio. Boot the Monks showed him around and it was a
couple of women that was around, especially this white jazzie girl that will always
groom Seito fortunately tell him he was a star and purple month to get into
the actual studio, But there was always butterflies inside his stomach. He always
turned away from actually being an EMC, even though he did a couple of
local gids coming up, and he actually wrote some songs for a lot of
people, but being an actual artist was never his past. His passion was
always to be like the next bird Man, or the next fifty cent,
or the next jay Z or the next ah TD Satan Well long store is
short. CEO. Fortune ran into a lit of artists in the game Juvenile
a couple of times, uh uh uh bg most Dev McGrath, uh,
Peter Guns And when he bumped into Peter Guns in Harlem, he asked Peter
Guns, actually, how do I get a record deal? And Peter Gunns
told him they're not giving out record deals no more. You got to take
it. We got left from lost. He also being in the scene of
New York and running the New York as a teenager, and being not from
New York but raised in down South Columbia, South Carolina, but from the
Midwest because his mother is from the West Coast and his father is from Detroit,
Michigan, he got the experience of the Midwest, down south and up
north, being that his mom's side had a lot of cousins in Atlanta,
George, but that's another story. So being that he lived a lot of
his his his experiences were bumping into you know, artistists like the like the
likes of jay Z he seen one time and Spike Lee even though jay Z
didn't even know who he is, and I probably wouldn't even remember that he
ran into him during that time when he was actually going to court for the
court case between uh uh uh uh when he said that he wasn't guilty.
Okay, and that was a long time ago, but see Fortune, see
your Fortune learned then that it was all about having connections in the game as
a rapper, and he knew he just wouldn't never make it, especially when
he bumped into a rapper that actually signed to Young Money and Lil Wayne by
the name of J Mills and they battled yeah, J Mills himself, he
had like sixty people running with him in Harlem, in Midtown wes uh uh
thirty fourth Street all the way to forty second Street and Times Square and every
rhyme that came out this man mouth, they would ad living well Ceo Fortune
actually battered them and one with two verses, but he had so many verses
and a crowd backing them. He lost, but his two little partners that
was with him told me to did a good job pound them up and they
kept on running the streets of New York. Well, Ceo Fortune then went
to make many attempts to scribe to reinvent himself. He was once a character
called most sid the King on Facebook and social media and then flopped terribly.
And also he was rath lawn Shawty when he was out there in Atlanta enrolling
with Scooby from Scooby Infamous mob coming off of Cleveland Ave out of Atlanta,
and that felled endlessly when Scooby heard one of their songs that they were recorded
the Marietta, Georgia and jumped on a teen coming to mall Bust and went
back to Atlanta, Georgia and stole his song. That's when he knew he
had to have a clique or if not a click, maneuver himself and build
himself up in the game so big and so major that he can be the
one who called shots and put people on and be more so like the gate
keepers instead of being gate keeper. And that's not fun. Well, long
start short. After many times of reinventing himself, he actually bumped into a
guy who knew big Meat, real good and from what he thought, he
had the permission to actually take the BMF eminlem and turn it into his own
label. Well, Ceo Fortune actually signed a deal with this guy, which
was a management deal, but the whole time come to find out that he
wasn't giving a greenlight the dude he was doing with the BMF eminem Well Ceo
Fortune, who was moveside of King MDK at the time, actually came out
with a single that actually made him start to pop on social media and people
in Connections, Universal Records and a lot of the main real original BMF members
was calling Ceo Fortune phone from behind the wall telling him, hey, man,
we like your image, which was bm mal Fortune at the time,
and we like what you're doing, but you have to stop doing what you're
doing because the guy that you are doing this with he's actually fraudulent. And
we respect you and you will always be affiliated, but you have to drop
that BMF off your name. Well, Ceo Fortune then went back into his
PERIODID and he reinvented himself again, dropping the BMF from Ceo Fortune and as
Ceo Fortune to come back out with a whole new improved movement, a new
label, a new logo, and a new movement. Now Ceo Fortune has
actually built up himself in his image to actually be an advertising agency and also
a podcast show that you can find on all major streaming platforms. Now that
he's starting to grow and he's starting to elevate, and he's starting to connect
with a lot of people inside the world, inside the game and give them
opportunities. He now understands the mechanics of how this music industry works and he's
glad to be amongst the elites or the elites at the top of the food
chain where he continued to grow and become a conglomer and a household name.
Well, that's what Ceo Fortune is starting from, and that's what he's aiming
for, and that's what he's going to get because anything that you can believe
and conceive, you can make come into reality. See, your fortune is
just on the beginning of its empartment. But the more the story is,
if you do not fail, you will not never be successful. And trust
me, see your Fortune went through a lot to be who he is today.
