ABOUT MARVIN "SHADI" POWERS:

For 30 plus years, the culture of Hip Hop and the game of music has been apart of the life of Shadi (sha-dee) Powers. Born in Savannah, GA, raised in NY, NJ, and Atlanta, the journey has been totally fulfilling. To ask, "what is it that he do?", leaves one without saying because there are so many jobs that a music industry veteran had to do, coming up in the 80s and the 90s, no matter what your title was. From running a retail record store in downtown 5 Points Atlanta or getting a real industry education at Green Street Studios in SOHO NYC or rapping professionally on Select Records 89-91 (Chubb Rock, KidnPlay) during the Golden Era, in NYC. Moving to Atlanta in 96, learning the landscape, discovering, developing and marketing talent from Freaknasty, Khia, Gucci Mane, Bankroll Fresh, and Lil Donald in the heart of the streets in Atlanta, to pushing the urban contemporary sound envelope in gospel music to the top of the charts ("Stellar nominated", The Showers). He has done it all and seen it all. From label president in charge of operations to a website and content manager for his own site DirtySouthHipHop.com and for HipHopWeekly.com and magazine, respectively. This is what we call a most known unknown. Hip Hop is a way of life for Shadi Powers.
