Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the music maven began his hip-hop journey at the young age of five with his first set of turntables. He went on to attend popular HBCU, Clarke Atlanta University and upon graduation he received the unofficial title as Music Director for Sirius Satelite Radio’s “Shade 45” on “The Aphilliates; The Streets Is Watchin,”co-hosted a show on Atlanta’s WHTA HOT 107.9 FM, and most notably helped to popularize the Gangsta Grillz mixtape series.

For the past ten years, Lake Sheezy, also known as Lake Show, hoped for a label with DJ legends, Cannon and Drama. Those hopes have finally become a reality with their label Generation Now.

While the majority of the label’s artists consist of hip-hop’s up-and-coming; Generation Now aims to have a diverse collective.

Up-and-coming artists, Uzi Vert, Skeme and Ly Quin are the first of many fresh talents to be signed to the label.
