If you aren't familiar with R&B singer/songwriter

Nikia, then you most certainly need to, not just as a

vocalist but a powerhouse in the indie music scene

as well as prominent businesswoman making major

moves. Nikia dropped the sonically potent musical

anthology NO FAIRYTALE in 2019, which contained

the viral hit classic singles "Sexin'," "Do U," "FFF,"

and "Truth Syrum" featuring Wo-Billz among many

other solid tracks and she is already off to a

promising start in 2020. Nikia has been singing and

writing songs for years as it comes to her naturally,

it's in her blood (she is also the niece of legendary

soul singer Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band). Nikia

also has more plans for the upcoming months by

working on new songs, releasing new videos and

touring with her band. Get more updates on Nikia at

her official website http://www.SoundsOfNikia.com

Purchase her album "No Fairytale" everywhere

music is being sold digitally (Spotify, Deezer, iTunes,

and more).

Listen to me. I know that you aren't

sure if you want to go on. With all the

sadness and tragedy in the world, it

just seems easier to give up and give

in. I urge you to bear in mind that you

have survived 100% of your worse

days - for a reason! Feel that big,

beautiful heart beating in your chest?

That signifies purpose and dreams

that are yet to be fulfilled, just for you.

Wonderful, necessary you.

forget that we are our Brothers/

Sisters keepers, and we should always

look to give a hand up, not a handout.

We need each other to survive!

You have what it takes to make it.

Everything that you need is already

well within you. You just have to tap

into it. Take care of yourself and your

energy first so that you can be the best

you possible. You were created for a

moment such as this, and YOU WILL

MAKE IT.

As we get through this coronavirus

pandemic, you must remember the

King/Queen that resides in you. Your Thank you for stopping by Kristie's

mistakes and misgivings of yesteryear Love Korner, and allowing me to love

do not define who you are. They on you today. I’d love to connect with

REFINE who you were called to be. In each of you. Please stop by my page

a measure of honor to our ancestors, Kristie Love’s World on FB,

let's forge forward into evolving into talktokristielove on IG, for your daily

our best selves, reuniting our

motivation and inspiration. Or feel

Name: Patrice Jennings

Age: 28

Location: Charleston SC

How long have you been acting:

-4 months

What made you decide to start acting?

-As a model, there are a lot of

opportunities available for us, whether

it’s to be in a music video or an extra in

a movie acting is a necessary skill to

have.

Is it a passion? If yes, explain.

- Not necessarily a passion, because I

am an introvert, and public speaking

isn’t really my thing but it’s becoming

something I enjoy doing.

What other things do you do? Sing?

Dance? Etc.? What got you into doing

that?

-I model! Modeling was something I

always wanted to do but never really

dared to go for. In 2017 I had a health

scare that it gave me a new lease on life,

and I told myself no matter how shy I

am or what other people think of me, I

was going to start doing all the things I

want to do.

In the new full-length Treasure Box,

you are playing Julie. Can you tell our

readers about your character Julie?

- Julie is an 18 year old girl who just

joined a “classy” whore house. Within

her first week, she is put into all sorts

of crazy situations from being pimped

out, shot at, and questioned by the

police about the disappearance of one

of her house sisters.





Do you feel others would understand

Julie?

- Yes, we are all have been through

situations sometimes where we have to

do whatever it takes to survive.

What other films have you acted in?

-It’s a B$tch Birthday.

As a model, what experiences can you

share with us?

-Just being a model is an experience in

itself. Last June I was a part of a street

runway fashion show with The Voice of

Fashion in Downtown Charleston when

that event was over I left with a group

of new friends, now family and my

sisters and I do everything together

from fashion shows, photo shoots or

daily motivation.

www.geecheeone.com

Who is your favorite actress, and why?

-Tiffany Haddish, she an amazing

actress with such a big and beautiful

personality. Just knowing her story and

how she was once homeless living out

of her car, she inspires me to keep going

for my goals and never give up.

What are some of the things you feel

people need to understand when it

comes to modeling and acting?

- It’s not easy. It takes time, dedication,

and consistency.

What do you feel are your best

characteristics that leave your

impression in the minds of the

audience?

- I am calm, confident, and occasionally

funny.

When it comes to your hair, I see you do

natural and processed what do you

before and why?

- As a child, I would get relaxers, but I

always had a sensitive scalp so they

would burn. The older I got I started

doing my own hair and I found out

transitioning and going natural was a

better and healthier solution for me.

Is there any major platform you would

bring awareness to? Explain cancer,

sickle cell, etc. If yes, explain why you

chose that platform.

-All cancer platforms.. there is so much

money being made in the industry, yet

year after year we’re losing more and

more people.

1. Where did you get the name 2Slik?

The name 2SLiK actually comes from 3

places...'2" Comes from the nickname

given to me by close friends because I

looked identical to a best friend of mine

who was later murdered. "SLiK" Comes

from never getting caught (haha) and

the 'i" is lowercase because "I' am an

individual. So it is actually coming from

3 separate factors.

2. Where are you from?

Was born and raised in Charleston,

West Virginia, but moved down to

Charleston, SC in 06 and been rocking it

ever since!

3. What inspired you to become a

rapper?

4. What makes your music different

from all the other upcoming artists?

I think what makes me different I can

change my styles and execution to

multiple lanes. I can do love songs, talk

about depression, and talk about

partying. The life I have lived gives me

the ability to adapt and real cover a

broad spectrum of different angles in

hip hop. I also carry a lot of energy in

my music that I think most people

appreciate because they feel my

emotion in my music.

5. When writing or freestyling, where do

you find your inspiration?

Most, if not all of my music comes from

personal experience. Hardly any of my

music "fabricates" or is "fictional," I

don't write about millions because I

have never had millions, but I have had

enough money to tear the club up and

that is what I write about. I talk about

suicidal thoughts and deep depression

because I experience that every day. My

past trials and tribulations, along with

the hardships I have faced that is what

keeps my pen moving...it’s an outlet.

6. If you had to compare yourself to any

artist, who would it be and why?

Funny enough, I actually was inspired

through poetry. I was an only child and

suffered from depression. As I got

older, I heard a track from the

Legendary Artist "2Pac," and it helped

influence me into starting to rap. I

started off battling most of my life and

then became more of a songwriting

artist.





I honestly follow very close to

DMX. That may be a surprise to many,

but I was always fascinated by how he

performed. He always brought energy,

excitement, and you knew that every

time you heard that growl or bark, he

was going to go off. DMX was also

authentic and deep. You could feel his

pain and emotion in every lyric. I think

if I had to say who I try to imitate or

compare myself to it would be DMX.

7. If you could Collab with any artist in

the industry, who would it be and why?

Right now, if I had to say one artist I

wish I could work with is Kevin Gates. I

am a huge fan of how he is constantly

www.geecheeone.com

changing directions and tweaking his

sound. I am also a big fan of artists that

show emotion and carry enthusiasm in

their music and Kevin always brings

that. Him or Tech 9...Tech 9 Is a beast

(haha)

8. Your single, “Don’t Bury Me,” broke

30k streams within a week in Nov 2019.

How did that make you feel, and what

made you write the song?

I think that has actually made me a

better artist. I think being from old

school times where you had to push a

project locally, it showed me that in

today's modern times' great music will

find its way out. I did no promotion for




that song, not even a music video, and

that song continuously does numbers

and climbs higher and higher each

day. It does that because it is heavily

streamed overseas. I think knowing that

now has given me insight into a

direction I want to go as an artist. It

tells me to think outside the box and to

appeal to more people than just

Americans. I wrote that song to get an

Ex-girlfriend back (which almost

worked haha) but it is probably my most

heartfelt song and I think people hear

that in the song and that's why it does so

well.

9. How does it feel to be Nominated in

the SCUMA 2020 for Best Hip Hop

Artist, Best Performer, & Best Collab

“Splash” ft? Scooda Sease?

It’s a great honor to be nominated for

such great honors. I remember getting

nominated for Geechee One awards, and

tho I didn't win, it was awesome to be

nominated with other great artists. To

be nominated this year for SCUMA

2020 for the Top Awards for any artist

is a great honor. Especially this year

when I didn't really push these awards

because I wanted to honestly see if my

supporters and fans would nominate me

which I have the greatest fan base in

South Carolina #Cornersquad. But to

be nominated for the highest awards

especially with a song with another

great artist like Scooda Sease, I am truly

blessed beyond words.

10. Out of all of your songs, which one

means the most to you and why?

Don't Bury Me is one of my more

heartfelt ones and means a lot because

of the meaning, but if I had to say

truthfully, "Ima Do Me" is pretty

important to me. I wrote that song

when I was broke and living in a hotel

because I was practically homeless. I

wrote Ima Do Me after having a mental

breakdown and was in a rough spot in

my life. I wrote Ima Do Me before the

www.geecheeone.com

new year and used it as a motivation to

get my life back on track and it

worked. It signifies that Ima Do Me and

not let other BS distract me and

continue to focus on me and my goals.

11. What can we expect from you in

2020?

You can expect a new sound and a

unique voice. I have a new album, "The

Rebirth" that drops this summer. We

are planning on pushing it hard all over

the country. Having now performed in

LA, I have a new hunger and new

motivation. With my Label Corner

Squad and my Signed Label Community

Records/Interscope, I am ready to push

even harder with new videos and more

performances. I am also looking into

finding new artists and one artist to

manage under my wing. I also have

gotten Savannah GA on lockdown to do

hosting and bring artists from SC down

here. So everyone needs to be ready

because #CoRnErSqUaD is coming,

Shout out to Moncks Corner and that

love taking nature shots than turn it into a

business. I loved the idea and went forward

with it.

Get more news and information on Slow Chemical / Ryan White at his official promo blog http://www.SlowChemicalBlog.blogspot.com

For decades the comic book industry has

been dominated by white males, not only

the creators themselves, but the characters

they create have primarily been white

men. From Spiderman to Captain America

and more. Although comic book figures of

African descent have been around just as

long as their white male counterparts such

as Luke Cage, Black Panther, Storm of the X

-Men, Misty Knight, Night Thrasher of the

New Warriors, and Blade the Vampire

Hunter just to name a few, all of the

aforementioned comic book heroes were

created by white men. No matter how

skilled and imaginative seasoned writers

are, they cannot capture the true essence

and voice of a black character. In recent

history comic books, collectors and fans of

the medium have witnessed a rise of new

black writers and creators, and one of the

stars blazing the trail for black creatives in

the comic book world is emerging writer

Ryan White! Ryan White has been making

moves in the indie comic book scene for

years and recently started gaining

popularity with the release of his titles and

ongoing series Late Justice, and The

Geneva Convention. The remarkable

creativity shoots out of Ryan's mind and

onto the print, and he certainly has no

plans of slowing up now. Ryan also has

more writing projects lined up for 2020 and

he's also been added to the diverse writing

team of the sketch comedy podcast

Yesterday Night Taped, the show which

stars D'ara Gray (Ashley from the hit

Geechee One Film 7 Days 2 Christmas), and

other Geechee One Film mainstays such as

Monique Greene (Amir's Verdict, Justin,

Twerk, etc.), James Tavelle (The Ugly

Friend, Untimely Reunion) and rising stand

up comedienne Laquita Johnson (100

Bodies, It's A Bi$ch Birthday) and more!

When Ryan White isn't writing fantasy,

action-adventure comic books or comedy,

he is constantly writing thought-provoking

and moving poetry as well as song lyrics

under the pseudonym Slow Chemical. As

Slow Chemical, he released many critically

acclaimed songs and projects such as fulllength

album Midnight's Inspired and the

EP Serving All Masters. Both projects and

many more are available to stream on

Spotify.
