Cocoa Sarai: Soulful,Edgy,ILL,& AMAZING


Cocoa tell us a little bit about growing up as a young lady in the heart of Bedstuy, who aspired to be a Singer. What was it like, who inspired you, and what obstacles did you face at a young age?


Cocoa Sarai : I have to say I'm what you call "cultured" as my grandmother would call it. My grandparents are West Indian and I traveled a lot as a kid so my mind was always bigger than my surroundings. There is no place like Brooklyn, growing up in Bed-Stuy was a beautiful experience. I had my fair share of fights, shootouts, block parties etc. I always sang so everyone in my neighborhood knew it. I sang EVERYWHERE and ALL the time. Their all extremely proud of me. The guy at the bodega to the old lady in the Laundromat. My family definitely inspires me because they all sing, but the ciphers on the corner are always what drove me to want to do music. The hip-hop that was all around me definitely inspired the edge in my music. The biggest obstacle faced when I was young is losing my grandmother, it was hard because she raised me but had she not passed I definitely would have only been your local Sunday celebrity opposed to doing the music I do now. God always has a plan.

I actually met you back in 2008 at a venue known as YUME, and it was there that my ears got their first taste of your Amazing voice. What were your experiences like performing at YUME with several Amazing artists?

Cocoa Sarai : They were lots of fun.I learned a lot about myself as an artist in that atmosphere. I didn't know much about the underground scene. Theophilus London was like a brother to me, we met in The Hip Hop Project, he asked me to perform with him one day and that was that. I just wanted to sing and I began to gain fans immediately. I didn't know anything about Internet promo etc. I did what felt good, its ironic that most of the people in that circle are doing wonderful things now. I'm very proud and shout out to Mike for putting those events together.

You been featured on many of great artist's tracks. How does one get the Melodic voice of Cocoa Sarai on their track, and what do you look for when deciding if you want to be apart of a project?

Cocoa Sarai : I use to say yes to everyone, then the volume of artist became overwhelming. I just wanted to sing but now I'm definitely a lot more selective. Music is supposed to feel good; it is suppose to be a vibe. Many of the newer artists do not understand that, they just want to have a feature with someone because they have a buzz. That's super wack...lol So in between everything I'm doing I have people send the record to my email that they want to do if I like it Ill rock and if I don't I won’t. The smart ones send me music that they already have and then they suggest a vibe session and the music is organic from there. I won’t say it’s easy to get my attention because its honestly a lot of people that pursue a collaboration but it’s not hard when I like the music. I love good music, music that feels good, no matter who you are.


Your an Amazing songwriter, what are some of the experiences, and process that you use to create some of your Amazing lyrics?

Cocoa Sarai : I am a poet first. I've been writing poetry for ten years, songwriting came later. Everything comes from something simple, I’m a huge fan of creative writing. I like when its appeals to the senses for instance "Raining In My Room" You can see what’s happening based on the imagery, you feel what’s happening because of the emotion. I literally wrote that song in the middle of a storm. I remember crying my eyes out and it just came to me. Any emotion is at its extreme with me and I write about it. Sometimes it’s the experience of someone else, I just want people to relate. I usually find a melody first, or a specific line that ties everything together and then it just flows. I record myself so it’s easier to not feel pressured and just be creative. I don't believe in boundaries.


What are the things you want to be remembered for? What type of legacy would you like to leave behind?

Cocoa Sarai : The woman that touched people. You forget what you see but you never forget what you feel. Someone who is known for having dynamic performances and quality lyrics. Musically inclined and vocally raw. Someone who is a real person, that is unafraid to touch topics that people are, and just enough fire to blaze a trail for the next young girl with a dream like mines...


With the release of Half-Past Seven in 2010 you continued to take the world by storm. What was it like writing for that album, while being the executive producer of the project? Lyrically which song was your favorite to perform from that album?

Cocoa Sarai : It was normal to me because I didn't have a choice. It was just me and my partner Rick Hertz (producer/engineer). It was both out first times doing it and we had no idea as to what was wrong or right, we just knew we wanted to put it out and we did. I understood that first impressions are everything and I wanted mine to be flawless lol. I definitely made some mistakes but I still look back at my first project and love it. It’s my first child in a sense. It’s a great representation of where I was at in life and exactly who I was at that time. My favorite song lyrically would have to be 'Ur Such A Girl" It was witty and entertaining, it fun and bouncy. People always quoted the lyrics to it and it always makes me smile when they do.

Now comes "Black and White" and so far we have some classics already from this next masterpiece. Tell us about Raining In My Room and what inspired this song? And What else can we expect from this Project?

Cocoa Sarai : It’s actually called THE Black and White. Raining In My Room was inspired by the tornado we had in Brooklyn and a breakup. The point where you don't even care about the problems, you just miss them so much that you want them to come back, even if it leads to another fight. I felt like I was going to die, I thought the pain would never go away. My house just burned down and I was staying in a huge loft by myself that had six huge windows so when it rained it felt and sounded like it was inside my room. I cried and cried and wrote and wrote and then I stopped. A year later I finished it and here we are. I still love the song so much because of how the beat felt before I penned it. The guy and I are friends now and I told him. "Your going to make me a lot of money one day" lol On The Black and White you can definitely expect a raw, very well balanced musical meal. A woman who is unafraid and honest in the most creative way . Songs that make you bounce and cry and laugh all at the same time. I'm still the same woman but I went from caring what everyone thinks to not giving a f*** just enough to be able to create without boundaries. From being afraid of pushing the limits to saying "Yeah I just said that and you love me for it, don't front" lol


Who is Cocoa Sarai and why are you Amazing Personified?

Cocoa Sarai : Because I’m not afraid to be vulnerable, I’m not afraid to mess up and I love people. All of that is in my music, and I think that's Amazing.

Thank you so much for finding me interesting enough to want to interview me, I enjoyed answering the questions and thank you for supporting me throughout the years. You’re awesome :-)

NFL Championships : Patriots VS Ravens ,Giants VS 49ers Who will win?

Whats going on World it’s your boy Jay Rog once again representing Definitely Amazing bringing you the most accurate picks out of anybody that’s doing the same. YEAH THAT’S RIGHT ISAID IT !!!!!!!!!!!! I put my signature on it. Last week was the Divisional Round of the NFL playoff. Your boy was 4 for 4 last week pick all the winners congratulation to the 49ers, Patriots, Ravens, And the Giants. Those four teams are playing in the Championship round. The Patriots and The Ravens are up to bat first at 3’o clock eastern time at Gillette Stadium. After that game, we have the New York Football Giants versus The San Francisco 49ers at 6:30 pm Eastern time at Candlestick Park.


The New England Patriots are red hot right now .In fact they been hot for a while they haven’t lost a game since losing to the New York Giants in week 9, if your keeping count that’s nine games in a row. But like the old saying goes “every good thing must come to an end” (at least I think that’s how the saying goes) 10 straight will not happen. The Patriots haven’t beat a team all year with a winning record above .500 unless you want to count the Denver Broncos who literally had a .500 winning record. The Ravens defense is much more superior to the Patriots defense. But on the other hand the Patriots defense have to contain Joe Flacco who is average at best while the Ravens have to deal with Tom Brady who is one of the all time best at his position. Ravens defense rank 3rd in the league, While the Patriots are 31st in the league. The Patriots have many weapons, so much that they don’t even use Chad Ocho Cinco at all. Ravens only have Ray Rice as their consistent offense playmaker but I believe the trade they made earlier this season for Lee Evans is going to be the wild card in this game. It’s going to be a close game so close that as I’m writing this I switch my pick like three times but I’m going with the Ravens due to my right hand Ran-Da-Man putting things in the rightful perspective. This pick will also be my upset for this Championship Round. Ravens will be representing the AFC in the Super Bowl





Now last but not least it’s the NFC Championship game The San Francisco 49ers versus the New York Giants. Two good Defenses in this game, but one good Offense in this game though. The 49ers lucked out last week against the Saints even though they were my upset pick of the divisional round, I didn’t expect them to win the way they did. That why I consider them lucky. New Coach Straight out of College and a Quarterback that was being consider as a bust I just cannot see that combo going to the super bowl unless it’s a Disney movie. This is the Real World and Reality is going to set in for the 49ers. The Giants can turn the 49ers into a one dimensional team by shutting down Frank Gore. The Giants could put out that Nascar package and put seven men in coverage and that’s it a long hard day for Alex Smith. Eli is in the zone and he will stay in the zone. Chris Canty the defensive tackle of the New York Giants said he doesn’t believe they played their best game yet and believe it or not I agree it’s more to come from the New York Giants. Three games straight of beating teams by Three scoring drives and the streak continue. Giants representing the NFC for the super bowl.



My Amazing Personified player of the week will be Osi Umenyiora. He will do his infamous sack and strip at a key moment of the game that will setup a Baltimore Ravens Versus The New York Giants in the super bowl. In a Rematch of the 2000 Super bowl that the Ravens won 34 to 7. Come back next week when I will be reviewing the matchup for the super bowl hopefully this week I’ll be two for two. Once again this boy Jay Rog and Definitely Amazing is what you need to be 24 hours seven days a week , and I’m out everybody stay safe till we meet again.

DA lady of the Week: Ms. Phoenix Rising: Mogul in The Making


Ms. Phoenix Rising
Who is Ms. Phoenix Rising?

PR: A Mogul in the Making: A single mother and inspiration to others.

Explain the title "Are You Fierce, Focused, & Fabulous or Just Another Dumb Bitch?" Why that title?

PR: I think the title is self-explanatory really. I chose that particular title because I wanted women to ask themselves that question and decipher the answer for themselves as they read it. I think by the end, by my definition, most were surprised by the answer.

When you first finished "Are You Fierce, Focused, & Fabulous or Just Another Dumb Bitch?" What were your first thoughts?

PR: The World needs this!

In a world where every woman is a "Real" Woman what set your book apart from other Self-Improvement Guides out there for Women?

PR: I'm a Real woman. I'm a fallible human being, I'm far from perfect and I can actually identify with my readers and targeted demographic on more levels than one.

Your a woman of mass creativity, Tell us about "Love, Lust and Lies" and how that came about?

PR: Well, it's actually LOVE LIES IN LUST and it's my very 1st stage play. I wrote it, cast it, directed it and produced it. It's by far one of my greatest accomplishments. I decided to write the play because book money is slow money unless you have a book deal which I did not and do not have. And also because I had a story to tell and it needed to be told. So between the media and societal taboos, slow book sales and stories I'd heard from friends in the entertainment industry... Love Lies in Lust was born.

What's next on your agenda for this year?

PR: I'm currently in pre-production for my first Screenplay Love Lies in Lust an adaptation of the stage play. Filming my 1st Reality/Docu Series Moguls in the Making, and I'm also in pre-production for three other TV shows and in the process of writing my second screenplay.

What makes "Are You Fierce, Focused, & Fabulous or Just Another Dumb Bitch?"Amazing Personified?
 
PR: It's short, sweet and to the point. And it will literally change your outlook on life, all facets of it, in 66 pages or less.

Divisional Round Picks this weekend

Hello world, its your boy Jay Rog here to bring you my Definitely Amazing picks for this weekend divisional round in the NFL. First, let us recap last week wild card round. Your boy was three out of four with my picks, with The Bengals ruining my perfect four out of four. It is all good because I knew the world didn’t believe of my upset pick for the week. Tim Tebow did it again and pulled out miracle against The Steelers in overtime, with an eighty yard pass to Demaryius Thomas that sent The Steelers home early. Sorry Wiz but that black and yellow is one and done, so you can put them towels away. Drew Brees showed the world that The Detroit Lions are still cubs and still on the come up. The Saints as an offense put up 626 total yards up in the game a new NFL playoff record. The score was 45 to 28. The New York Giants sent The Atlanta Falcons home with a 24 to 2 win at Metlife Stadium. The defense pulled a shutout. An Eli Manning safety gave The Atlanta Falcons their only score of the game. The Giants struggling running game, put up a 172 rushing yards the most so far this season. The Giants are peeking at the right time (LETS GO BIG BLUE!!!!!)




Now let’s get into this week games. First up is The Denver Broncos versus The New England Patriots. You have one team that has a mediocre offense with a very good defense and the other team with a very good offense with a mediocre defense. Most of the time when a very good offense goes up against a very good defense, you would take the very good defense, but this time I’m rolling with the very good offense in this game. Tom Brady, the reigning MVP is going to be too much to handle for The Broncos and Tim Tebow has way too many flaws in his game to come out with a victory. Therefore, I’m going with The Patriots.



Next, we have The New Orleans Saints versus The San Francisco 49ers. This game is my upset pick of the week world.The 49ers will beat The New Orleans this Saturday night. CandleStick’s muddy football field is going to neutralize The Saints arena football type offense. A heavy dose of Frank Gore to control the time clock to keep Drew Brees on the sideline, will be the recipe to a masterpiece for the 49ers, and another thing The Saints don’t play good on the road. The 49ers are heading to the NFC Championship


Next up is The Houston Texans versus The Baltimore Ravens. This could be the best game this week. Both teams are balanced. I’m going with The Ravens basically on home field advantage. The Ravens are undefeated at home this season, so they will keep it rolling and end the 2011 season unbeaten at home. T.J Yates is a rookie and The Ravens with their sophisticated blitzing scheme should be too much for him so I’m going with The Ravens.

Now last but not least, The New York Giants take on The Green Bay Packers. Rematch of last month’s game at Metlife stadium, where The Packers won 38 to 35 on a last second field goal. It’s also a rematch against the two playoff opponents from the 2007 NFC Championship game. At that time Brett Favre was the quarter back and in fact it was his last game as The Green Bay Packers quarterback. The Giants won that game in overtime. The Giants are RED HOT Right now, their Offense and Defense are clicking at the right time. Who I am going to pick? Most of the world would say this should be my upset pick of the week. The thing is I wouldn’t think it will be an upset if The NY Giants won. I’m going with The Giants in a very close game, ending with a missed field goal from The Packers as time expires.(SORRY PACKERS FANS……BBM SAD FACE)



Now before I leave my Amazing Personified player of the week is Frank Gore the running back of The San Francisco 49ers. If he has a great game, it would make it easier for The 49ers to beat The Saints. Once again it’s your boy Jay Rog and Definitely Amazing is what YOU NEED TO BE TWENTY FOUR HOURS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK….. PEACE !!!!!!!!.

Truly Amazing Personified: Blue Ivy Carter Welcome

Jay-Z is already Amazing Personified, due to his career, prolific lyrics, philanthropic contributions to the world and his overall success.

Beyonce is a Definitely Amazing woman who has created a legacy for years to come with her Music, Movies roles, and her contributions to the world.

Their Success is Amazing in itself and they will probably go down as two of the most influential people in the entertainment business.

But I say this and mean it with great measure to my words, Their Greatest Creation was Blue Ivy Carter. Not to jump on the bandwagon of the media spree I Originally didn't want to cover this story but I see it for what it really is. This is the happiest and proudest moment in both of their lives, this definitely trumps awards and applause of a million crowds because this was their beautiful joyful moment. So congrats to the very proud parents, and Welcome to the little girl who will become a woman of purpose and a woman of amazing strength and design, Welcome miss Blue Ivy Carter.

Globally Amazing Personified: "4 ALL WE KNOW" BEHIND-THE-SCENES w/ Kojoe & Ish-One

Definitely Amazing Lady of the Week: Kyra Kouture of Bedlam Accessories

Who is Kyra Kouture? And what does she represent?

Kyra Kouture



Kouture: Kyra Kouture is art, and love, and humility. I am always in a state of thanksgiving. I believe in the power of love and expression. Art is what moves me forward, its what wakes me up everyday and puts me to sleep at night. I represent freedom. Freedom to be who you are and do what you want, fearlessly.


Bedlam Accessories definitely comes out of an edgy and bold imagination. How did you come up with the ideas for some of your glasses and earrings?

Kouture: I have a very active imagination. I am inspired by nature and everyday life mostly. Graffiti and shadows that are casted inspire me by different figures. I am also very moved by silhouettes.

Whom does Bedlam speak to, who are the consumers you’re aiming towards with your work?

Kouture: Bedlam speaks to those who have nerve and audacity. Bedlam speaks to someone who is not looking to follow a trend, nor set one. Bedlam speaks to someone who just want to be who they are without any limits or judgment.

How does Bedlam push Fashion Forward?

Kouture: Bedlam pushes fashion forward by always changing our interpretation of what what is fashionable. Nothing is ever one sided or written in stone. We are big "Why Not?" people over her at the Bedlam camp. I am never worried about what other people are doing, I can only be worried about who I am as an artist and a designer. I am my biggest and only competition. Designers are all in the same place, just different levels. We deal with the same things, just different obstacles

You did some very interesting videos to show off your 2010 line, how did the ideas for these videos come about and how was it shooting unique videos?

Kouture: Bedlam started in 2010, the videos are from our 2011 collections. I have a very outlandish imagination. I am always thinking of dramatic ways to express the message I am trying to convey as an artist. The director's name is Tragik and she is amaaaaaaaaaazing! We love Tragik. You can check her out at http://www.ladytragik.com/

What makes Bedlam Accessories, Amazing Personified?

Kouture: What makes Bedlam Amazing personified is that we don't appeal to standard stereotype of beauty. We are for the girl or guy that is really okay with being different. We are those that are abnormally beautiful and proud of it.


 

Top 5 Amazing Personifie​d Moments of 2011

5: Poe Picasso's Reformation Album.

This Album was a prolific look into the artist himself and his view on the state of the Hip Hop Industry. Lyrically this is real, and deep with lyrical moments that left the listener in awe. If Poe Picasso isn't recognized as one of the best in 2012 then maybe we need to change how we analyze who's the best.



04: Eric Sosa's Year.

That's right I think Eric Sosa had a F'n Fantastic year full of great music, even greater videos and great performances. I think Mr Sosa showcases that Bragadoscius style mixed with that new wave of emerging talent. Truthfully, I think he is on the verge of a mighty 2012 year and I wouldn't be surprised if new music cements his status and elevates the Hip Hop game this year.



03: Nitty Scott MC rips her freestyle in the BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher.



Nitty Scott Mc is not only a phenomenal artist who can crush beats, she showed that on the grand stage it doesn't take much for this Femme Fatal of the mic to blow your mind in a cypher. I have yet to interview this lovely lady and I hope this year that changes, because she is a Fantastic emcee, and her talent is on the verge of skyrocketing this year.



02:Wordspit's Rise 2 Fame




Christopher Dupree may not be a Household name, but his alter ego the Hip-Hop Entertainer known as Wordspit most certainly is. From the McDonalds commercial to his Rise of the Illest MTV X Rocawear Showcase, all the way to his earthshaking performance as a closer for the BET Music Matters tour Wordspit is etching his name in the records of time. I don't know what the future holds but it seems Wordspit's fame and stardom might be a constant of Hip-Hop Entertainment and beyond.



#1 X-Factor goes Outasight and Astronomical



It is no secret that Simon Cowell's X-Factor on FOX was a hit with viewers bringing in millions of votes for the many great contestants. What caught my attention was the hit song that made the Pepsi commercial ran during X-Factor, Phenomenal. That song was sung by an Artist that I had the pleasure of interviewing twice, Outasight. His song "Tonight is the Night" is a fantastic club hit and he definitely moved onto a grander stage with that song and that performance live on X-Factor.

X-Factor also got a B.I.G ratings boost when East New York Native, Astro took the world by storm. Showcasing marvelous writing ability and an uncanny stage presence he continued to shock and amaze each week with his Flawless performances. Astro looked prime to take the whole show until he hit a bump in his votes and he never really recovered from the drop. With a nationally syndicated show and rocking out in front of millions around the world it's only a matter of time before Astro is once again a Household name and once again in the spotlight.
