Outstanding new duo, Duke Dolla Escobar and EDMDre release "Every Dollar Mafia" the mixtape presented by Staff ENT and hosted by DJ Reese. This duo is what you call a perfect mixture, due to influences such as Jay-Z, J. Cole, Chief Keef, and Future; we get a little backpack rap and trap. Both artists were inspired early on; Duke lists his family and friends as inspirations, while EDMDre was inspired by the desire to express himself and make the crowd move. Both of these young men are focused on achieving longevity in the music industry and in life. EDMDre is quoted saying "where I'm from we barely make it to see 18, so seeing 81 is beating the odds." Signing with Staff ENT was an easy decision because that is their family and with family you have a foundation built on trust and people who truly believe in you.
"Every Dollar Mafia" the mixtape is just the initial step in a career that is bound to last. In the future they want to collaborate with producers Zaytoven & DJ Mustard, as while as artist Future. Their main goal is to, of course maintain a fanbase, continuously grow, and remain true to themselves. Listen, Download, and Support; Duke Dolla Escobar and EDMDre are here to stay.

"I didn't want to be an artist, but MUSIC chose me." is how Ja'Ron Write describes how he came to join the music industry, he states that initially his chosen path was basketball, but he had to follow his purpose. As an artist Ja'Ron feels as though he is not to be compared with anyone because he has always been true to himself. Ja'Ron allows for his spirit to lead him and feels as though Good Life Music Group is the label for him, although it took him a little time to realize that, but in the end it was right where he needed to be. An artist that is zealous to say the least about his goals, today we release his "Big Rings" cover as a preview of what is to come.
