Steven “Steve-O” Brown asks this while scrolling through potential cover options for Big K.R.I.T.’s upcoming mixtape, “4 Eva N A Day,” slated to drop in January. The covers differ slightly but the three guys on the email — Steve-O (K.R.I.T.’s marketing manager), K.R.I.T., and his manager and president of hip-hop label Cinematic Music Group, Jonny Shipes — want to make sure to pick the perfect one before pushing it out themselves.

Steve-O handles the rapper’s marketing; specifically, digital. He’s in charge of the roll-out of K.R.I.T.’s projects and connects for premieres with different outlets, like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and more. Steve-O’s also co-founder of the Smoker’s Club tour (alongside Shipes) and co-founder of marketing and management company GFCnewyork (alongside “Saint” Louis). Steve-O handles marketing, management and A&R development for artists like Mickey Factz, Smoke DZA, Jesse Boykins III, Mara Hruby, MeLo-X, FKi, and Nakim.

Check Out Jesse Boykins III’s Interview for The Madbury Club. It came out pretty dope.

“When Jesse Boykins III wants to learn something, he makes a habit of it. The 26 year old R&B singer packed his bags and left Miami for the Big Apple, and hasn’t looked back since. Releasing three independent albums, touring across the globe, and being recognized throughout the industry as one of the brightest young talents in music, Jesse Boykins isn’t phased by his success. His undying love for music has cast him a student in a classroom full of teachers, eager to learn from the histories of his predecessors and write his own narrative.”

Many thanks to BET Music Matters and the staff of 106 and Park for allowing me to share my vision with the world. As an unsigned artist there are some things we aren’t privileged to experience, this being one of them. So to have the chance to show people another side to music, I am humbled & honored, thanks for being apart of the moment & pushing the movement – Jesse
