About Me

"I'm an English man in New York...Sting"My long term goal is to improve education because I believe it is the root of many of the problems in the world today.I am a partner of Network Edutainment Group LLC. Network Edutainment Group, LLC (N-E-G) is an independent music-based content company dedicated to creating, marketing, and selling our signature brand of authentic hip-hop music. Working together as a creative collective, N-E-G aims to embed substance into dope hip-hop music and feed it to the world by leveraging new media. We look at this not only as our business, but our lifestyle. We're not old men in suits who are detached from hip-hop culture. This is our passion that we bring to the table every day. We're just fortunate enough to have made a business out of it.If your feeling what we're about check out Loj, the first friend on my page and our website www.ThinkNEG.com TO learn more!
