“It was all a Dream” The Notorious B.I.G.

Rob Stone set me up w/ my 1st job which was the catalyst in my career 2 becoming a manager & label owner. A few yrs later he launched Cornerstone & The Fader, & w/ both of us living in the city our biz & personal relationships flourished. He’d eventually bring me into the CS family, assigning me an office next 2 his.

In meetings w/ Rob I had a front row seat 2 observe & learn. I recall his charm as he met w/ Artists & DJ’s seeking his promotional expertise or w/ clients 2 pitch biz, brainstorm ideas; innovative, he pushed boundaries. I admired his unselfishness towards people. Status or position didn’t matter; Rob made time. Equally impressive, Rob’s ability 2 listen & then give practical advice, he was part teacher, part life coach.

We met for lunches & dinners; Rob almost always treated. He landed reservations at the spots &!took me to events that I would never have gotten into w/out him. We traveled on biz trips, vacationed to Islands, skied out West. Summers spent at his home in Sag Harbor; his door was open for my family & his wide range of friends. He connected people, they became my friends. He was inclusive, generous & welcoming beyond comprehension.

Rob could be tough. Tough to beat at chess, or ping pong, or a game of horse, I surely never did. Tough to negotiate deals with, tough to win in an argument & if u were skilled enough to do so, tough to get him to admit he was wrong. He was tough to outdo, follow me…. we were both late 2become Fathers. At 45 I had my son who I named him Harvin, in honor of my late father Harvey Friedman, w/ an ode 2 the legend Percy Harvin, a WR on my fav team the MN Vikings. 6 months later Rob 1 up’s me, having not 1, but 2 boys; naming 1 Charlie in honor of his late father & hero Charles Stone & the other Jett after the whole damn team.

Of all his accomplishments, I know none were held w/ greater pride than his love & admiration for his twin boys, daughter Mika to follow, & his wife Lauren. He set the gold standard for what it means to look out for family & friends. Was always family 1st.

My Grammy

Some time in 95 i reached out to the talented illustrator Tramp of C-Traze studios who was our guy for artwork and designs to let him know that we were expanding Duck Down Management into Duck Down Entaprizes and needed a logo. Didn’t really know exactly what but knew we wanted a character, a cartoon of sort that we could brand alongside the Artists and music we were releasing.

The label’s name of Duck Down drew inspiration from multiple sources. Heavily influenced by KRS’s classic track, to mentality of moving competition out of the way when we came through, to the state of hip hop at the time where you could be in clubs for shows where all sorts of things could be flying at you: accolades, bottles or even ammunition; had to be ready to Duck Down. The logo or Duck Down Man as we would begin to refer to him went through several renditions and eventually turned into an actual physical mascot. To be honest never fully connected with it for some deep meaning but it worked on stickers, merch, cd’s, vinyl and cassettes.

When I view it now, i’m drawn to it for the rich history and fond memories but can look at the elements that make it up to draw relevant and meaningful symbolism. The fire🔥 pre any emoji, jumps out for the heat we were releasing, the crosshairs were a reminder that you were always a target for your competition, the running motion of the man represents the constant hustle and effort needed to navigate this industry. The shoe was coming directly at you, ready to stomp through whatever was in the way. Put together, like this limited edition statue created by , the whole is greater than the parts. 50 years of hip hop; for Duck Down approaching 30 still running and now memorialized.

Happy Holidays. 🎄🕎🎅🏼😂

A holiday classic. Back in 09, I was in a NYC cab when a commercial for the “Grinch” on Broadway came on in the backseat TV and inspired me to ask @seandabarbarian to record a holiday song. In true Grinch fashion at first Sean was not with the idea, stalling the project for several seasons. In an act to motivate him I went to producer @khrysis_ and asked him to make the beat while i worked on convincing Sean. I came back to Sean with the beat, he liked it but two more Christmases went by; no luck. Then I told him a website was willing to pay for the visual, that technically was us. 😎 Reluctantly Sean agreed to do it. He says in the verse ‘I hate spitting this’ and I know he was screaming that at me. 😂 🖕 The inspiration was easy, he was the Grinch and knew it would be on brand. He killed it as did @kimsonian who created and animated the video. I told Sean be miserable, steal Christmas. Be YOU. To play this today I still smile. Happy Holidays. 🎄🎅🏽🕎 riP!

Shared some history on @xxl Inside Track. 💎 Give thanks @vsatten @courtneycl 🙏 Full interview link in the bio.

#TBT Sean Price was set to drop his Mic Tyson album on October 30, 2012, when Hurricane Sandy stormed into town 1 day prior. NYC shutdown from power outages, closed offices & retail stores which made releasing the album a challenge. Sean found a way to create promo from the situation and spread a little humor during what was a tough time for many. Heard that in the South if Waffle House closes it’s a barometer for how bad the storm will be, in Sean’s case he used Kennedy Fried 🐔 on Saratoga as his guideline. Hope everyone is safe and dealing w/ Milton & Helene as best as possible. riP!
