At UnitedMasters, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of equipping artists with the tools they need to navigate the music industry. We’re bringing together industry experts, financial institutions, and emerging talent to foster a community of entrepreneurship. Through spaces like these, we’re empowering artists to own their futures.” – said Steve Stoute, CEO and Founder of UnitedMasters. Stoute, a pioneering figure in both advertising and music, has contributed significantly to shaping both industries and has achieved numerous milestones throughout his career.

Stoute’s involvement in this event underscores its importance and promises to bring valuable expertise and vision to the forefront. His dedication to empowering artists aligns perfectly with the mission of Earn Your Masters, making him a vital asset to the event.

Reggie Willis, Chief Diversity Officer at Ally, a financial services company with the nation’s largest all-digital bank, said Ally understands how important financial education is to helping grow the next generation of creators, people who historically have been underserved by financial institutions.

“Ally has a long track record of helping create pathways for communities of color to promote economic mobility and drive equity,” said Willis. “This collaboration with UnitedMasters continues that work.”

Furthermore, this event progresses the mission of Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings with Earn Your Leisure, as they continue their commitment to empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary for financial success. This follows the announcement on Bloomberg TV of their financial education program with high school students in the Bronx curriculum, starting with a pilot program in a few schools with goals to expand more in the city by next year.

Method Man, Redman, Styles P and More Bring In 4/20 At Inaugural BUD DROP Concert

April 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The dynamic duo of Method Man and Redman headlined the inaugural BUD DROP concert at Terminal 5 in NYC on Friday, April 19th. This groundbreaking event, produced by LTB Productions, provided a New Year’s Eve-style celebration on the eve of the cannabis holiday, culminating in a midnight “BUD DROP,” which is a spinoff of the NYE ball drop – counting down to the 4/20; marijuana culture’s high holiday.

The night started with sets from DJ DPrizzy. Host Ace the General introduced the opening act including Doov. DJ Self provided an enthusiastic set that transitioned from old-school hip-hop to Latin, to reggae, keeping the crowd energetic before the duo Girll Codee performed their set. They had the crowd chanting, “Roll that smoke that pass that” as it was a 4/20-themed event. DJ Self also paused for a brief moment to acknowledge the late great DJ Mister Cee, who recently passed away. Kyah Baby also graced the stage for the main acts.

Yonkers legend Styles P performed some of his old hits including “Fuck You” and “Wild Out.” Fellow LOX member Sheek Louch came out to perform “Wild Out” with Styles P. The duo also paid tribute to the late rapper DMX, performing “We Gonna Make It.”

His high-energy performance set the tone and prepared the crowd for Method Man and Redman, who closed out the BUD DROP event with an iconic performance. In the middle of their set, Method Man and Redman counted down the last few seconds before it was officially 4/20. Balloons and confetti dropped soon after and the Wu-Tang members continued their celebratory performance.

Throughout the show, attendees were able to shop with different THC and weed strain companies. Some vendors included Nectar Wellness, Motagua NYC, Don Karlos Cannabars, The Culture Craft Cannabis, and the Empire Cannabis Club. Attendees were able to purchase teas, candy bars, edibles, vapes, and weed strains.

Sei Less was the event’s food partner. They gave concert-goers a culinary journey that perfectly complements the festive atmosphere. Empire Cannabis Club NYC brought its unique touch to the event, ensuring concert-goers enjoyed an immersive holiday atmosphere. Empire provided all the pre-rolls in the balloons that dropped after the bud drop countdown, as well as complimentary tote bags upon entry filled with branded lighters, grinders, pre-rolls, edibles and more.
