growing.  I like some of the artists coming out of Toronto"

Toronto as a whole.  I think when his album drops the world will see what Toronto has to offer.

The doors are definitely open and people around the the world are starting to take notice."

A.N.O: How important is the first impression in the music industry?

 Deezy: "First impression is everything, whether it in the music industry or not.  I guess the first

thing is to just be yourself, you can't be anything more than that.  Sometimes it could make or break 

you so just being yourself is really important "

want everyone's first impression of the Showboiz to be right, and show others that we are complete

and we know what we’re doing."

Deezy: "One of the biggest accomplishments to date is being able to be at Echo Studios down in 

Atlanta courtesy of one of our good friends Stroud of Two Band Geeks, who is a in house

producer for Grand Hustle.  Just being able to see different artists that run threw there and being

able get feedback and tips on what we do and having an opportunity to work with those artists is a

great accomplishment."

A.N.O: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

artists worldwide.  We see ourselves as very success producers and recognized for the skills that we 

possess."

lol.  Its a great social networking tool, whoever  

invented it is a genius." 

Jama: "(I think) Its great, if you know how to  

use, it good be your best friend...if you abuse it  

it could be your best friend lol.  It bridges the  

gap between artists and fans. (Today I talked to  

Nicki Minaj, but she didn't reply LOL...)"

one or the other.  Jezzy's Thug Motivation, like  

Paco said was a classic, and I can't wait to hear  

TM 103.  Gucci I like as well for his style and I  

can't wait to hear The State vs. Radric Davis"

to this point by himself.  he never had a major

self made."
