Property of iFLOW Magazine:  Archived Story Originally Published in June 2006

Independents Courner

Who: Marlon Blackmon
Where: (Born) New York; 
            (Live) Uptown Manhattan, NY

How He Entered The Game: I chose the entertainment industry because I like people being informed on what's hot and going on in society

Business Involvements:

I am the editor-in-chief of the Jects Magazine (America's first prospects magazine) for 7 years

Events: August 19, 2006 I have a community event taking place where I started the magazine (Dykman Family Day). It includes games, prizes, and a fashion show!

 Marlon's Greatest Inspiration:

No one really inspires me.... I JUST DO THE DO BABY!!!!!!!

Being Different:

I focus on more distinct topics and issues (for Jects Mag). The basis of the magazine is to help in giving acknowledgment to those individuals not only from the projects but those that have talent and need the exposure. Also we wanted to inform those that have stereotyped people that live in the projects see that good things do come from out of the projects and many celebrities are from this neck of the woods. I would like to put an end to the stereotypes that are said about those that come from the projects that they steal, rob, sell drugs, are thugs and hoodlums, etc.  This is life and those from the Projects are the root of all talent”

Do you think Reggaeton will eventually supersede Hip Hop:  

Reggaeton is doing for itself at the moment, but as far as superseding Hip Hop... I really doubt that!

Last Words:

 I would advise anyone trying to enter the music scene to be consistent and don't release anything that you are not feeling 100 percent about. S.U.P.P.O.R.T. (Support urban papers promoting only real talent)
