What it do with Lue

By Lue Dowdy

What an amazing night I had with my LUE Productions Fam on the Red-Carpet. LUE Productions had the opportunity to host the red-carpet and conduct live interviews. From the moment we walked in it was non-stop fun and laughter.

OMG! OMG! The host Comedian Brandon Wiley did his thang. He kept the audience lively and ready. Comedians, Miss Arkansas, Paul Smokey Deese, and Sherwin Arae made you crack the hell up. The funny and beautiful Lunell was the headliner for the night. The audience waited in anticipation for this Queen to step to the MIC with the funnies. She bagged on folks! She talked a lot about that mouth to mouth, and bedroom antics we deal with as older women. Let’s just say she got a lot of “I know that’s right.” I so love the fact that she’s not afraid to go all in. The audience was happy that Lunell came to the Inland Empire.

We saw familiar faces and met new ones. Local artists such as VCD, a female rap group here in the Dino blessed our ear-gates. We need more affordable events like this here in our city. I’d like to shout out Theo Evans of “Clowning on Earth Entertainment” for having us. I want to also shout out Deeveatva Foy, our BBW Queen Dee Dela Cruz, and BBW Model Ericca Cross, Robert of “ILondon Fog Productions”, Kyru of “Everythangnycce Productions”, and Freddie Washington of “FW Photography” for holding down the red-carpet and capturing the special moments. We all made an awesome TEAM!

Need us to host your next Red-Carpet Event? Contact us immediately! We have affordable rates. LUE Productions always come professional but is about that TU and having FUN! Make sure you catch our Indie Artist Award Show MY MUSIC, MY MIC on Saturday, October 15th. Until next week L’z!

Over the years rap, hip hop, and R&B artist have walked the red carpet in stylish clothing designed by top notch fashion designers in the game. We ‘have seen styles come and we seen have some go. Some ‘cray-cray’ and some well let’s just say okay. I am happy to highlight The Plug, a local indie clothing store located right here in the Dino.

The Plug was founded by brothers James Moreno and Jamal Moreno in 2013. Starting off making custom hats, the two brothers decided to make custom shirts to match. With both of them having a good sense of fashion it came natural. Some would ask why here in San Bernardino.

“With San Bernardino being saturated with talent it works,” James Moreno said. “San Bernardino is home; we love this place, the good and the bad, it’s still home. We wanted to shine some positive light on our city and show others we can do our own thing. Don’t nobody love us like us.”

The type of clothing that can be bought include Hometown Nativez brand, one of their best-selling and in-house brands. You can find local clothing, headwear at its finest, The IE as a whole San Bernardino and surrounding cities, up and coming street brands, hip-hop brands, and some major brands across the U.S. They also carry up and coming independent artists across The IE apparel and music.

The Plus is located inside The Waterman Discount Mall at 999. N waterman Avenue in San Bernardino (92410). Store hours are: closed Tuesday, Wednesday – Monday open at 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. except on Sunday’s where they close at 6 p.m. There’s no telling what you might come across at THE PLUG. So please stop in and SUPPORT! Until Next Week L’ZZZZZZ!

Lashaun Turner

By Lue Dowdy

Aspiring Women in the Music Industry is What it Do! Please learn all about Lashaun Turner, one of LUE Productions 2016 My Music, My Mic honoree. This queen is doing her part to help Indie Artists. 

In 2010, self-described Entrepreneur and Music Publicist Lashaun Turner developed TRC Social Media with a vision to become a source content provider for social networks. Lashaun developed several lifestyle and entertainment webzines including an award nominated blog and then built social connections across all the major networking platforms to share this content. Lashaun’s writing style and abilities led her to become an established blogger and contributor to popular globally recognized magazines and social websites which include BlackPlanet, YoRaps, Gorilla Leak, Yahoo, and others.

Having connected with artists and entertainers through networking, Lashaun was asked to work media/publicity for the play “GOD Is Watching You,” which led to a business venture that evolved to include “Look like a Star P.R,” working as a Publicist with actors, musicians, and entrepreneurs to increase and manage public interest in their creative assets.

In 2012 the company re-branded itself as “URBAN STARZ MEDIA & P.R,” with a continued focus on becoming a strong voice for urban artists and entrepreneurs in the emerging new media realm that is the Internet. Over the next 3 years Lashaun would represent clients such as Atlanta rapper Bone Crusher, Coast2Coast DJ Fred Malone, International Pop Star Natalia Damini, and Mysterious Ent., a Major Indie Record Label, to name a few. 

The company expanded into streaming media by launching the only Licensed Independent Internet Radio Station in the greater Los Angeles area playing Urban Indie music 24/7 at Urban Indie Radio- Los Angeles, with its Headquarters in Moreno Valley California. Lashaun programmed and developed content for the station. She created and produced BLAZE INDIE L.A  which was known as the #1 Urban Music Review Show. The show was a hit and evolved to a Web Series, then a weekly TV Show that aired in California, Atlanta and Washington DC.

LUE Productions, Drac Entertainment, and 4ETE’s -ROCK & RAP MIDDAY MIXER is WHAT IT DO!

Rock and Rap have been around for a very long time going back to the 20th Century. When Run-D.M.C. hooked up with Rock band Aerosmith and remade the band’s hit song “Walk This Way,” it was the wrap. Rock and Rap went mainstream in the 1990’s. Other artists began to collaborate such as The Beastie Boys and Public Enemy with “Bring the Noise,” it kept going and going.

With that being said please come to the mixer starring recording artists Mack Pepperboy, Dirdy Birdy and Chase Enriquez. The show features several talented artists such as Anthony Stone, Nya BanXXX, Valencia Staxx, Cali G, The 8th Street Band, Sirr Jones, D’zyl, Cash Flow, Mac Stardo, and many more. The event will be hosted by Comedian Brett As Is. Admission is only $5 and its 18 and up. I hope to see all my rap and rockers.

Until next week L’z! The time is at 6 p.m., Saturday, August 6 at Brew Rebellion located at 195 N. Del Rosa Drive in San Bernardino.
