GaptoothDiva discusses music, ambition, and creativity with INFAMOUS, Richmond based writer,producer, & rapper.

The Diva dives into what inspired this artist to go so hard musically and creatively in an environment that could care less if you succeeded. With the help of his manager, Dante' Bournes, we will find out how this musical prodigy is destined to truly be what his name already suggests.

Brandon Michael Smith was born on December 27th, 1989 in Wynne, Arkansas. At the age of 4 he began playing drums. By the age of 7 he had surpassed the level of some 16 year olds. A turning point in his life was at the age of 9 when he moved to Chester, VA. Throughout his life he always focused on expanding himself musically. So at the age of 13 he taught himself how to play the piano. In his freshman year of high school a friend introduced him to FL Studios. Like with everything, he began teaching himself to make beats. With each passing year his grind got harder and his skills got better. After the sudden death of his grandmother he began writing raps, and every since then it’s been one song after another. He has performed at numerous places such as Tropical Soul, VA House of Comedy, and Lyric 101 at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. Infamous musical influences are Michael Jackson and Tupac. He would mostly relate himself to Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco. As a triple threat (writer, producer, and rapper) Brandon “Infamous” Smith is bound to go far. He joined and independent label JustWatch Entertaimnent out of Richmond, VA in the summer of 2009, with the guidance of CEO Dant’e Bournes they will reach the top…..JUST WATCH!!

I couldn't wait to get my boy, Vincent E. White in the virtual studio to discuss his much anticipated self-published book. This is my dude, so you know it's no telling what and how we are going to discuss his "work of art". Please support this brother on his many accomplishments, he deserves every single blessing he recieves.

Born & raised in Richmond, Va., Vincent White has weather all storms. He has graduated with his B.S. in Mass Communications from Norfolk State University (02’), & recently his M.Ed in Education from Strayer University (10’). Along with being an accomplished author, poet, self-publisher, mentor, & counselor; his most prized love is knowing that he is an outstanding role-model & father to his son Jordan.

Now, after the release of his ground-breaking book of poetry entitled: “Love. Life. & Religion: Reflections of the Soul” (06’), this proud native of Richmond, Virginia, is back with “The Fully-Seasoned Man’s Relationship Recipe”! Vincent White is ready for success, & he will surely soar to phenomenal heights with this release!

The Synopsis for the Book:

This book is designed to help females understand why men do what they do in relationships, and to descriptively reflect as to how these characteristics were possibly developed. Furthermore, the ultimate message of this book is to show women how to maintain a healthier relationship with men; & how to keep their relationships from dissolving by providing them with a better understanding of the men that they choose to deal with. It simultaneously shows the coming of age, of the ‘fully-seasoned man’.

It must be understood that this is a written confessional that could come from the mouth’s of many men (yet it hasn’t); fortunate for the women out there, this is also an in depth tutorial for each of you. This book will fulfill the unanswered needs of many; so take notes, & enjoy “The Fully-Seasoned Man’s Relationship Recipe”!

We have all experienced times when we wanted to persue some dream, or idea that we were passionate about and allowed outside obstacles stop us in our tracks. We have made excuses for those obstacles or made excuses for ourselves as to why we haven't move those challenges or completed the task we set for ourselves. GaptoothDiva has decided to dedicate her first show back on the air to discuss some of her own obstacles and how she is currently working on improving her life and the lives around her by moving one challenge at a time. Like always she will say what needs to be said, however this season she is not holding anything back. Listen to the WTFs and OMGs, :-).

GaptoothDiva chops it up with Boonye' Villa on the topic that makes us all listen... Sex, Love & Relationships.

Listen at your own risk. GaptoothDiva wakes up on the Hangover with more people to piss off.
