#MusiciansDay: Hi. I’m Ericka. I am a leading A&R + Media rep for Stimulated records at Roc Nation Distribution. I’d be honored if you take a listen to some of the music I’ve been working on.
First off: Dono Dono.
Donovan Duvall, a gifted, multi instrumental, gender neutral musician released his first project, “PROM”, and it is a Synthpop and indie rock pop favorite. We are 800 plays from his 1st 10K single, “Tears Have Run” on Spotify. Give it a play or two! Or 5.
Next up for #MusiciansDay is Nappy Nina. A goddess of lyricism, the Oakland born, Brooklyn backed MC’s articulate storytelling and rhyme schemes will hold every bit of your attention. Jazz influences with traces of boombap. This is that REAL Hip Hop.
Just finished a quarterly report, and I was able to bring an estimated 20 million + views to this project. Listed as top #HipHop albums of 2024 several times. Placements in two commercials. Some of my best work.

"We therefore suggest that one of the most pragmatic anti-capitalist things that one can do is to push for any organizations that you might be involved with to participate in the standards development process. Encouraging organizations within a capitalist system to participate in a process that rests on openness, consensus, and lack of dominance erodes the power of that very system. It ensures that information — which, as we know, is power — is a public good."
