A T.H.U.G©

T.H.U.G.: Mr. Collipark

Longevity and success are two characteristics that any artist would love to have in their repertoire, and for Michael 5000 Watts, either characteristic could be his middle name. A self-made CEO and well-respected DJ, Watts has not only played a role in discovering some of the industry’s top heavy hitters including Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, and Mike Jones, he is partly responsible for introducing the world to a new form of music.

Hitting the scene in the early 90’s, Watts first began his career as a DJ on the north side of Houston. At that time, Houston didn’t have many major artists out, so Watts turned to putting out mixtapes to make sure the city’s underground talent got their time to shine. Artists like Slim Thug and Lil Keke were featured on the mixtapes which made Watts’ product an instant hot commodity and a big buy in the streets. Through his constant grind and key networking skills, it wasn’t long before it was time to take this endeavor to the next level, and that he did!

Known as the creator of the Swishahouse Movement, 5000 Watts along with Houston native OG Ron C took the mixtape idea and basically built an empire. Swishahouse has become one of the south’s biggest record labels, partly due to overcoming all the struggles and roadblocks that has been put in Watts’ way, but even more so for being a forefront for a musical style that is sweeping the nation right now, Chopped and Screwed. Chopped and Screwed originated on the southside of Houston, by DJ Screw; DJ Screw had control of the southside of Houston, 5000 and OG Ron C was on the northside & since Screw owned the southside, and everybody had so much love and respect for him, Watts decided to go outside of the southside, and introduce the rest of the world to the type of music that he knew Screw made so hot. “I personally look at Chopped and Screwed as an artform; like rap or jazz, but some people still look at it as something personal from (DJ) Screw.” Watts makes no confusion in paying homage to Screw as the creator of Chopped and Screwed, but Watt’s does get the credit for taking this music, that was primarily known on the southside of Houston, to higher heights and giving it a commercial appeal that even DJ Screw would be proud of. Today Michael 5000 Watts and his new rendition of Chopped and Screwed, titled Slow Down Mixes can be heard on the Houston radio airwaves.

T.H.U. G :GREG STREET

As one of the most recognizable voices in radio and the man behind the phrase “its 6 o’clock, its 6 o’clock, time for Greg Street to Rock,” Greg Street is the true voice of the people. Having had the opportunity to work in radio for more than a decade, Street first began his career working at WORV and WJMG, both located in his hometown of Hattlesburg, Mississippi. Looking for an opportunity to become more hands on he would later move to WHSY and begin the task of working nightclub and parties all while creating, producing, and distributing his own mix tapes.

His love and passion for radio would eventually take him from Mississippi to Alabama to Houston before finally landing in Atlanta at V103 in 1995. He became a fast sensation known for his ability to mix and bring a new outlook on music. After a little over 6 years at V103, Street would take up an offer from the Dallas Market and head back to K-104. Unwilling to totally leave the Atlanta market, Street continued to work with V103 through a 6 o’clock slot on Saturday, that brought him from Dallas to Atlanta every weekend. Now more than 5 years later he is the man synonymous with the Atlanta radio movement and nightlife, making Atlanta the true home for Greg Street. As a DJ who takes his job serious and offers opportunity to new artist he has had a hand in breaking major artist including Rich Boy, Franchise Boys, Cee-Lo, and Trick Daddy.

In the past Street has won a number of awards and worthwhile recognitions that include: Billboard’s Major Market Personality of the Year in 1996, NBPC Major Market Personality of the Year in 1997 and 1999, and he was the first recipient of the Think B.I.G. Heart Award from the Christopher “Notorious B.I.G. Wallace Memorial Foundation.

Besides his accomplishments and awards in radio, Greg Street is also very active in a number of charities, events, and foundations. As someone who recognizes his stardom as away to influence others he actively speaks to children about the importance of staying in school and away from drugs. This type of work has lead him to create the Operation Correct Start/The Street Foundation, which teaches young boys how to become men and to avoid negative situations. In keeping with this commitment, he has also recently launched the Greg Street Scholarship Foundation, which offers the opportunity for two deserving students in the Atlanta and Dallas area the opportunity to attend college.

With more business ventures that include a Car Show, Retail Store, and Album release, this year we recognize Greg Street as being a leading example of a true T.H.U.G.

Having owned over 20 stores to date, this ambitious business man strives to show the world that a major component to fulfilling your dreams definitely comes from helping your hood.
Being the owner of a major shoe chain makes most people wonder if Lowman was born wealthy, but this South Carolina native grew up just like next, outside of an undeniable, yet unrecognizable thirst for business. Lowman made is way to Atlanta in ’94 to attend Morehouse College with initial plans to major in pre- medicine, but three years in had a sudden change of heart; Lowman changed his major to business, a decision that couldn’t have come at a better time. The death of a college friend’s father brought Isom a little money, and fostering a business mind, he decided to invest the money in a then-little-known stock called Yahoo, and flipped his paper to over $60,000 by the time he graduated Cum Laude in 1998. Lowman admitted to being proud of his accomplishments at that time, but also knew that earning a couple thousand dollars wasn’t the end of his business journey, which is how he came to invest in Athlete’s Foot, he looked at his neighborhood in Atlanta in a search to find a market that could benefit the community, and Lowman found a direct match in the shoe game. Lowman created the Isom Lowman Group and the rest is history.
Lowman’s accomplishments don’t just hold once owning 23 Athlete’s Foot stores under his belt (five New Orleans locations were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina); The Isom Lowman Group owns several other stores including Fame Sports, and Supreme Footwear which are located in Underground Atlanta, GA.

T.H.U. G :MONA SCOTT Violator Management Co-owner and President Mona Scott is "a 21st Century Renaissance sister," quoted by Essence magazine. Mona's expertise in managing, marketing, touring, and promotion has helped to steer superstar careers of Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Mobb Deep, Noreaga and others. Scott has maintained a place at the top of the with a career that now spans more than a decade to prove it . Scott, who handles the day- to-day operations at Violator, is considered a pioneer in her field. Under her guidance, she has helped earn Violator 8 to 10 million in record sales annually for the past 6 years. She has successfully orchestrated the marketing and promotional campaigns for the last 7 Violator albums that each debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.
Violator's street marketing savvy spilled onto the world of film and television. Scott has secured countless television commercial endorsements for her clients and under the newly-formed Violator Marketing Group (VMG, Scott landed the promotion contract for New Line Cinema's summer picture, "Blow," starring Johnny Depp and directed by Ted Demme.
Long before Hollywood officially came calling for Scott, Mona made it a point to pursue broader opportunities for many of her artists. She'd already cracked the fashion and cosmetic field by brokering a shoe deal for Busta Rhymes with Harbor Footwear for his Bushi by GBX line, and a Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's lipstick through Iman Cosmetics. On television, former Violators' A Tribe Called Quest, were the first rap artists to hawk for Sprite soda. Missy pioneered the musical artist/Gap clothing relationship when she appeared in their commercials a few years ago and in another more recently with Madonna. In 1998, Scott convinced straight-laced Pepsi Company that Busta Rhymes could sell Mountain Dew, so they agreed to a 30-second Mountain Dew radio spot. "Pepsi's is a very conservative company, even though [Mountain Dew has] this whole extreme image. It was about staying in there, continuing the dialogue and getting them to understand what I saw-that Busta and Mountain Dew were a perfect match. We had opportunities to do other beverages, but it was about finding a product that represented Busta's extreme personality."
the secret to Mona's success is her beleif that "It's not about color anymore. It's about the music you listen to, the kind of activities you enjoy, the kind of experiences you claim as your own, sharesScott."
br The journey to become one of hip hop's most ardent cultivators began for Scott at a placement firm for graphic designers and art directors, where she first learned about imaging and artist development. "That was my introduction into the music industry." She made her way through "trial and error. It was more about common sense and intuition. I found I had a natural talent for it." It's a talent Mona Scott has put to good use since she began managing the original Trackmasters, producers whom she felt needed to be treated as artists. The Trackmasters team produced such acts as R. Kelly, LL Cool J, Mariah Carey, Noreaga, Cam'ron, Foxy Brown, Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Big Pun, MC Lyte, Fat Joe and founding members Tone and Poke, eventually going on to become senior executives at Columbia Records.
Mona was then asked by longtime friend Chris Lighty to run the day-to-day of his Violator Management. She went on to build, with Lighty, a roster that includes 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Capone'N'Noreaga, Mobb Deep, The Clipse, Tweet and DJ Red Alert, all of whom have mined platinum CD sales on one or more occasion. With two children at home, Mona juggles her personal and professional life with skill. For Mona Scott, it's always been about making the impossible possible for her artists, her company and, finally, herself. And that is exactly what one would expect from a 21st Century Renaissance sister and officially T.H.U.G!

T.H.U.G. Carol Dorsey
Succeeding in the music industry takes more than justmaking good decisions, for Carol Dorsey: Co-Owner and Co-CEO ofChopper City Records, it took dedication, drive, and the will topersevere beyond all obstacles.
"Getting into this business has to be something youreally want to do," states Dorsey. "You really have to cover yourself on allsides and be hands on to learn a lot of things. Plus you have to beopen to learning and realizing things are done a lot differently then theway you would think."
Born in Portsmouth, Virginia and reared in NewOrleans, Louisiana since the age of 6, Carol Dorseynever set out to be in the music industry. As agraduate of Delgado Community College in Louisiana,where she was an accounting major, Dorsey fullyexpected to be in the corporate world. Transitioned into this business we call music through her strongbelief's in the talents of her nephew B.G, who originallystarted out signed to Cash Money Records, Dorseyexperienced the true hustle and inner workings of the industry. Though, over time she has quickly foundher own way through trial and error, she has stillcarved a working niche and place amongst some of thetop women in today's industry.
"When I first came into the industry, I came in blind,"states Dorsey. "I mean I knew about the normal stuffbut all the inner workings were new to me. My first yearwith Koch was really a year of 'show and prove.' Ilearned a lot, made some mistakes, but I grew andformed wonderful relationships with a lot of importantpeople that believed in me, BG, and Chopper CityRecords. This has really allowed me to know thebusiness and how it works."
Having truly experienced the struggles andfrustrations of an artist and up in coming label first-hand, has fully equipped Dorsey with the know how ofwhat it takes to turn things around, like learning theimportance of dotting i's and crossing t's in thisbusiness. Along with her nephew, Co-CEO BG as one ofthe three original deal makers Carol, BG, and Arnel Plainked a deal with Atlantic Records and Chopper CityRecords.
Presently celebrating 6 years since the beginning ofChopper City Records, Dorsey's day-to-day scheduleinvolves the handling of all business operations,planning of talent, advising of projects, and thenecessary hands on work that makes Chopper City runsmoothly, which are all responsibilities she shares withOwner and Co-CEO, BG. With Chopper City Recordsstultified as a working and prosperous label, Dorseyplans to continue its success and growth in the yearsto come. "We really want to branch off into differentareas besides rap," says Dorsey. " We will stillcontinue with our rap acts, since that is the formula wework well in. But, we would like to try our hands in anumber of other avenues." Carol notes, " I couldn'thave succeeded in this business without the talents ofmy nephew BG. We are a spectacular home team!"
Honored to be considered a true T.H.U.G, we saluteCarol Dorsey for her determination and drive inbecoming what she is today. We wish there were morewomen like her.
T.H.U.G. Block
It’s a definite good look when you’re celebrated in thehood for being so street, but it’s even bigger when theycoin your alias after the entire block. So speaks truefor Atlanta C.E.O. Russell “Block” Spencer. Block, alsocommonly referred to as “The Eastside Chevy Rider”,has transitioned from being a normal dreamer tobecoming a definite situation-maker, so it’s no guessthat when scouting labels for his roster, he fell rightinto the multi-million dollar section. With goals andaspirations that one could only imagine, Block is aliving legend that proves that it’s not always aboutwhat you get from the hood, but more so about whatyou put back.
Grinding is something that Block is no stranger too, buthe also attributes that same work ethic to his wellknown success; the two were actually synonymousonce this dedicated entrepreneur decided to committo music as his passion. Finding the passion seemed tobe the simple part of Block’s game plan, but deliverydidn’t come so easy. However, Block continued tocreate and maintain essential business relationshipsthat would not only take his career as a producer tothe next level, but would also place him in the best ofcompany including managing Tupac and the Outlawz,as well as label jumping, managing at top labels suchas Suave House, which was once home to legendssuch 8 Ball & MJG, and later working for Sho’NuffRecords; all of which ultimately led him to reach hisbiggest deal yet, inking a joint venture with Bad BoySouth, and giving the world such talents as YoungJeezy, Jody Breezy, Yung Joc, Gorilla Zoe, and acomplete roster full of starving artists waiting for theirturn at bat. Block Enterprises has blossomed from amere street idea to one of the most prominent labels,which continue to produce top radio spins, and remainbeating in local traps everywhere.
Blocks trail to success hasn’t always been pleasant,from a quick to change roster of artists, to the rumorsof losing financial deals, this genius continues to teardown those rumors and show the world why he’s alsoknown as the “street infiltrator”. From communityservice to putting together new measures of puttingrising talent on, Big Block has stability in the game thatconsistently sets records and has the power to keepthe world yearning for his every endeavor.
Thank you Block, for not letting life's trials stop yourhustle. Giving back to the streets on your rise to thetop. Continue to be a diehard T.H.U.G.!
T.H.U.G. Big Oomp
Perfection in the game does not come easy, and soreign’s truth for Atlanta legend Big Oomp. Fromgrinding on the underground circuit to finally achievingnational success, Big Oomp’s story is one that is notonly unbelievable, but a story that only few could havethe will power and persistence to see all the waythrough.
Oomp got his first taste of the music game in 1991selling mixtapes locally, which is where he noticed aninitial gap in the game. Seizing on any and everyopportunity, Oomp decided to seal the gap by openingup record stores all around Interstate 285, Atlanta’sinfamous highway perimeter that has been blessed insongs by many southern artists. After sealing therecord store deals and officially stepping into themusic game, Oomp knew it was time to fulfill the rest ofhis musical desires and capacities, which is exactlywhat he found in producing starving artists like DJJelly, Baby D, and DJ Unk. Owning Big Oomp Recordsand producing some of the most blazing andmemorable tracks are the least of Big Oomp’s credit;he has now sought after many gaps in the industry andcan take full credit for owning a publishing company, atelevision show, having DJ’s on two rival stations inAtlanta, and a whole lot more business moves that’ssure to continue the buzz already created by Oomp’sentire camp.
With all the success that Oomp has seen, one wouldprobably imagine that this mover and shaker might beseeking a much-needed vacation, but Oomp has noimmediate plans of slowing down. With productioncredits on upcoming albums from the industry’s bestsincluding, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Three Six Mafia (onwhich, Oomp is the very first non in-house producer tobless a three six track) and even the next Beyoncejoint. From hip-hop to pop, big screen to small; thissilent but deadly superstar plans to show the rest whythey’re immeasurable to his camp!
Thank you Oomp, for showing us how keeping yourgrind up eventually pays off! You definitely know howto make success seem so easy! You are certainly aT.H.U.G. to keep our eyes on in the future!
