INTERVIEW WITH DJ DNYCE AND THE LUXE LOUNGE

  




WWW.THE-PHOINIX.COM



 From the nightlife to the 9 to 5 workflow, DJ DNyce has had a diverse experience in both realms of business and pleasure. The Memphis native is a well-known deejay in his town, and is a definite force to be reckoned with. We asked the laid back DJ DNyce a few questions to find out what keeps the beat for him in Memphis. DJ DNyce grew up in Memphis, and moved around within the city, with the area of Whitehaven being one of his main stomping grounds. The deejay stated that “he has had a chance to experience a diverse outlook on life” which could be seen in his mixing style that compliments various genres, and that are not limited to pop and of course hip-hop. We asked the well-known deejay how long has he been working in his prior career which gave The Phoinix heavy Intel on his previous careers that has given him an entrepreneur's mindset.

                                                               


His resume’ consists of owning and operating his very own professional house cleaning service and even a  children’s space-walk company, just to name a few of his endeavors. He later confessed that his love for deejaying took over those accomplished projects and  eventually equivocated into a recipe for success.

 One could say that the young man is doing quite well. DJ DNyce has hosted the 5’0 clock traffic jam for Devin Steele recently, and says that that is just one of many accomplishments he is proud of. DJ DNyce has been spinning in the city since 07’ and really hasn’t left the turntables since. Although the busy man travels various cities, DJ DNyce explained that “visiting Atlanta’s vibrant nightlife ignited a musical spark”, in him that hasn’t seemed to dim yet. When he came back to Memphis with his new influence as a deejay, many encouraged him that it was a true talent he possessed, and the rest is history. You can catch DJ DNyce at Club 152 Thursdays, and Saturdays. To reach DJ DNyce visit the deejay’s website, NyceLyfe.com for info on venues and booking.

12 Band Members charged for a Florida University hazing death

Prosecutors have made their mind up with the decision on 12 former Florida A&M University band members who are being charged for the death of 26 year old Robert Champion.
It is said to appear as a hazing death. Hazing is the practice of rituals and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group.
Ten of the band members are being charged with felony hazing, while the other two defendants are facing crucial manslaughter charges MSN blogger Kyle Hightower reports. 
Champion died in Orlando in November 2011 after he collapsed after what prosecutors say was a savage beating during a hazing ritual. It happened on a bus parked in a hotel parking lot after Florida A&M played Bethune-Cookman in their annual rivalry football game.
Authorities say Champion had bruises on his chest, arms, shoulder and back and died of internal bleeding. Witnesses told emergency dispatchers that the drum major was vomiting before he was found unresponsive aboard the bus.

So how do feel about this situation? should the entire group carry the charge of manslaughter? When does hazing a student goes over the edge of no return? leave a comment for The Phoinix and tell us what you know.

 STS Enterprise is a mentoring and public speaking organization That originated in Memphis Tennessee by Jeremey Calhoun and Alton Cryer. Cryer is a native to the South with a deep passion for the city. Cryer grew up in many parts of Memphis and is a graduate of Ridgeway high school. Jeremy Calhoun is from Jacksonville florida that graduated from Houston High School and played on the football team. Cryer attended Jackson State for two years, but came home to assist his sister with her diagnosis of leukemia. He eventually settled to The University of Memphis where the two men currently attend. STS enterprise seem to set forth a strong desire to shape the young urban youth who reside in a city that has one of the top crime rates nationwide.The two came together with vision that will soon inspire the entire Memphis Area.

After speaking with the young entreprenuers, they explained that their vision to mentor the youth in the urban neighborhoods came to them when  they spoke many teenage boys and realized that many are focusing their goals on manifesting the "lavish" lifestyle that they often see on tv. The men says that the young black boys expressed to them that in order to live well  "they must choose to become involved in either drugs, sports or music more just to be successful." Jeremy Calhoun states that "showing them outlets that can take them far in their young lives will show the children that they are Setting The Standard (S.T.S). Calhoun actually has a job as a coach for the Shelby County high school. These urban business owners say that they are "vibing" with the young men and at their first mentor meeting, they were truly honored with the amount of respect that the adolescents showed the entrepreneurs.
                                    
This past weekend STSEnterprise visited a senior community home called the Wesley highland meadows on highland for one of the many volunteer projects they have and it was said that it was truly a hit. below are pictures from the event. Along with other partners, including (Sean Calhoun and Angelica Coleman ) the entire team  says that they "really help the kids they don't sugarcoat the truth". One could say that their way of communicating with the high school and middle school children is a creative way to interact with the students and teach them real world situations. The team is currently mentoring Cummings Middle School, with hopes of one day expanding to many Memphis and County schools.

Want to be a volunteer? email and become involved as a mentor to young black men( also for young girls ladies! also in the works is a stronger front for young women directed by Angelica Coleman ). please visit the facebook page of STSEnterprise  https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/STSEnterprise?fref=ts

INSTAGRAM TO BLAME-IT IS NOT BLACK HISTORY MONTH

 www.the-phoinix.com
 so strolling on the ingstagram and what do we find? Black History Month reported in this fashion:
                                                                         

Is it truly Black History Month? One can DUH, "of course it is"but watching ROOTS or making ridiculous photo captions is not the highlight of the celebration for many. There has been a lot of Black History Quotes going around on the Internet that though may say are funny, are very inaccurate and event derogatory in
a sense. 

                                     

No one At the Phoinix is here to judge anyone who thinks these pictures and their descriptions are hilarious. But many achievements made should NOT be forgotten. 

                                    
THE PHOINIX DARES ANYBODY TO HIGHLIGHT ONE AFRICAN AMERICAN YOU MOST ADMIRE. Let us highlight our past in hopes of making a brighter future. People the time is now.So,hashtag #realblackhistory to show your support whether you are of the black race. Those who died in the name of freedom will thank you later.
