Jaqpott

I started off by saying "my name is Steven Philpott, and some of my friends call me Jaqpott." The name comes from the old school mixing term "Jack Your Body". I was a DJ and when Steve "Silk" Hurley produced a house cut by the same name. If you don't know house music, it really makes you do just that. If you don't believe me, just check out the complex lyrics.

I'm not a DJ anymore and I spend my days as Steven Philpott, CEO of XtraMedium. This is my third year heading up the company as well as the third year of existence. Most of my days are spend calling folks for sponsorships or investments. Most of my night are spent at our shows.

Monday

So I live here, in Chicago. It's a pretty rough city, but there's something about being able to call this place home. Kinda nice. But many of us understand that we can't accept a lot of the bad that happens far too routinely in the many cities like Chicago. So we communicate. I believe Hip Hop as form of expression enables several forms of positve communication. I believe hip hop as a a form of commerce mass produces several forms of negative reinforcement. That said, I want our network to display their positivity to the children in our community and on our network.

So from Chicago:

From now and through the next five months leading up to the convention I will:

- Introduce the top national issues from our community
Look for Aspire Street Tags (click the example right)
- Introduce the top musical artists/dancers from the Urban Soul genre
Street Tag your favorite weekly from Music available as videos and PODcasts
- Introduce the nation to the top businesses in our Black and Brown Communities
They sponsor our shows, events, and Children - Just Street Tag the business name and win!

And from the world: This is your chance to get your Street Tag before the convention. During July 19th - July 23rd you'll need to know the right Street Tags to get to the right clubs parties. Having an event during the convention - Sponsor a Street Tag, The Response, or URL a low cost for a good casue with high impact to your brand.
