I created a blog SOLELY for the barbershop. Content is pretty much safe for work.. Here's a look at the layout..
I have a business announcement. @Suite302DE X @whblogspot X @carolinaware are under the same umbrella now.
 |
| #1 Client. My business partners OWN SON. HAIRCUT BY HIS FATHER OF COURSE ALI... Main barber..Owner...operator.. |
 |
| Two of the barbers in the shop.. Chan and Eazy.... |
In the past few days, you probably noticed two things on my main account.
I've been sparse in the posting.
I've posted links up about 'Suite 302' or pictures of me IN THE BARBERSHOP like I am 19-28 again..
 |
| The handy work of one of the Barbers in the shop, Black..more on him below.. |
Well, allow me to explain briefly what is going on.
Carolinaware has ALWAYS been 'involved' with Suite 302. That's it. That's all I have to say. Everything else is on a need to know basis. Just know I have a vested interest.*
Now those of you that live OUTSIDE OF THE AREA PROBABLY HAVE A QUESTION.
What is Suite 302?
It is an EXISTING barbershop/hair salon in Newark, Delaware.
Location?
2431 Pulaski Hwy, Newark, DE 19702
The location is NEW but it is an existing and THRIVING business. I've always been 'involved' with the business by the way but now I am just going to be a bit more visible with it. Hence the pictures 'from the barbershop' you keep seeing being posted up. (They aren't going to stop btw...Just an FYI..lol)
Of course, with my own area of expertise being 'social media', I will be handling the bulk of that for the shop. So, yes, you will see more posts about that here. Information about events surrounding the shop, collaborations and SHOWS and such SPONSORED BY THE SHOP and CarolinaWare's Own.
Speaking of which, if you HAVE ANY SUCH EVENTS you would like to throw/plan/have us be a part of, please contact us at our email address. We are listening to proposals.
Suite302delaware@gmail.com
So you noticed I said HAIR SALON huh? I did. Introducing Ms. Toni2Combs and a SAMPLE of her work...
Here is sample of another barber's work in the shop... Black.. Everybody knows a 'Black' right? Well, this is the one that I know...lol (Yes, his nickname is Black...)
For those of you who live in the area (Delaware/Maryland, Pennsylvania,etc..) , come on down! For those of you who don't but find yourself in the Greater Philadelphia/Baltimore area and in need of a haircut or hair salon needs, HIT ME UP. We are located conveniently between those two locations.
I see a lot of texts, captions on Instagram and the like about the location of the shop so I'm going to give some directions ...
Here are the directions to the NEW SHOP FROM THE OLD SHOP. So for those of you who have been there before, you can use THESE DIRECTIONS to get you where you need to be or you can scroll down and use some of the other maps to find your way to the new location if you so desire. We are literally 3 miles down the road.
Directions are available below for the those of you who have NEVER been to the shop and would like to visit. I've provided directions from Philadelphia, Wilmington, Delaware, and Cecil County Maryland. I am going to assume that you can pick up the directions from your location if you are in the somewhere in the middle of the locations that I have chosen.
Directions from Wilmington
From the Philadelphia (or surrounding areas)...
OH AND ONE MORE THING.... If you happen to know or ARE A VERY SKILLFUL BARBER IN THE AREA, come see us. We MIGHT have a space for that person. Might I say. @ them being qualified. There MIGHT BE room for one more chair for the RIGHT PERSON.

(Video) @BodyNomics speaking on how "Urban Modeling has changed' aka the Money Has Dried Up..
If you are getting into this game, you might wanna listen to her. Gotta be creative.
I know some folks are still eating but she breaks down why most aren't or at least why most aren't eating in the way that she was back in '05.
She also speaks on some other stuff but I will let you watch this video.
(Video) The 3rd Installment of @IamEricRoberson's Artist Workshop
Here's an example of what he is speaking on...
Publishing check vs Royalty check...Interested now? Good.
He dropped so much knowledge that I am not even gonna try to cover it all. Just watch 'em if you are an artist, a manager, a FAN OF THE MUSIC AND WANT TO KNOW THE CREATIVE PROCESS or whatever. Lots of information here...

So this @JillScott X @IamAnitaBaker thing...... PR nightmare...
You know I try to stay outta the 'messy' ish but MY SOURCE* tells me that pretty much every thing that is being said is true about this situation. I think by now, the major places have covered the story so I am not really doing it for that. I am just really 'speaking on it' 'cause I think that it can be used as an example for some of the folks I know who are trying to 'be in that business'. Some of my people. Regardless of the angle..
This business gets PRETTY SKETCHY very quickly and sometimes things go awry.
Lets run down the TL of this particular issue and see what we can learn? We are gonna start with a Tweet that (was sent to me by source A WHILE AGO.) I have only seen on one or two of the sites that have reported it start with. Without this tweet, Anita doesn't type a thing. Without this tweet, THIS IS A NON STORY. Has no legs. Without it, she takes the high road and no one is the wiser as to what went down...
*
Not how you want to conduct business....
So basically she wanted to rehearse the song and have it done right. Might have taken up some time BUT they all would be rest assured to have gotten on stage and things would have been right. That last tweet should have been the only tweet IMO. The first tweet (I posted) should have never happened.
So I asked my source about this tweet below. She said that didn't come from anyone's manager either. It came from an artist. One who didn't perform....
Now even IF SHE SAID IT IN A PLAYFUL WAY, you don't say that to a legend/peer. I mean we are talking "Her, MJ and Lionel Ritchie were the ONLY ONES I EVER HEARD PLAYED IN THE ELEVATOR STATUS...MAMA I REALLY MADE IT...LEGEND status here." @ Anita's position. Even if you DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, you don't say it like that. Sorry. You don't. I mean, it is my understanding that even though she is 'more relevant' than Anita at PRESENT, Mary J. Blige goes OUTTA HER WAY TO MAKE SURE HOMAGE IS PAID. So you know, while I LOVE JILL SCOTT'S TALENT, I gotta ask...
WHAT HAPPENED THAT MADE YOU COME AT ANITA BAKER LIKE THAT? It's ANITA BAKER. I want to hear it from you. I guess I should ask you..."DID YOU REALLY SAY THAT TO ANITA BAKER ABOUT HER SONG??" Please tell me you didn't say that to her about her song. I can't IMAGINE the reaction you would have had if someone would have ran up to you with some bullshit about something that you wrote and performed. So yeah, I am asking...Did you ACTUALLY SAY THAT TO HER?
You don't need to respond to my little blog either. You can go on SOME BIG RADIO station and do it. You can do it via Twitter. I don't care. Although I DO KNOW YOU READ BLOGS/forums/etc. (okayplayer) Which I am not even knocking. What better way to know what folks think than to read what they are saying straight from the water source. I just want to know YOUR SIDE OF IT. 'Cause the way it is looking now, it makes you look REAL CRAZY outchea and your manager's original tweet didn't help... Talk to us Jill. I have heard (and read via a lil forum that we both frequent..you know the one..I don't have to call its name. It is Philly based..) all types of stuff which I don't wanna repeat for VARIOUS reasons.
DO you 'owe me' an explanation? Nope. I figured that since you seem to be a 'very up front person', I would just ask you flat out though. All you can say is no or make no comment. What happened according to you Jill?
The Lesson Learned here for everyone else....
So how is this gonna 'help' the people I know. I mean after all, I am not running a 'gossip' blog per say so the only OTHER REASON I would run this story is to ACTUALLY HELP SOMEONE OUT IN THEIR QUEST FOR A PIECE OF THE PIE..
Easy. I think I have explained this before on my own Twitter but seeing as though I don't have a large 'black twitter following', it has not had a chance to matriculate down to the bowels of those trying to come up in the entertainment game via the Internet yet:
A good PR TEAM combats trouble..not starts it.
This is a PR nightmare. I know a lot of you who WORK IN PR. You have an artist (or a roster) that you would like to represent. Some of you are in situations (lanes of the business) that you may think 'require' this sort of drama. No. This is NOT WHAT YOU WANT YOUR PR PERSON DOING. Starting fires. Especially ones like this. This should have NEVER MADE IT TO THIS WEBSITE/BLOG, the radio websites or any of that. The PR person's job is to PUT OUT THE FIRES. Not start 'em. Leave that up to the artists...@ starting them if they so desire.
Clear your affairs up behind closed doors. This could have been avoided if the PR had not made his original tweet. Definitely uncalled for and very unprofessional and according to those backstage...UNTRUE.
Social network responsibly so that your artist doesn't get caught up in bullshit like this with folks like me @'ing them on Twitter or hitting them with questions in interviews that have NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY THEY ARE BEING INTERVIEWED. It is bad enough the artists are out here tweeting/acting crazy. You can't have your staff and your reps doing the same.
In addition, artists out there, this is a just a glimpse of what you can expect from your peers from 'time to time'. Someone is wrong in this situation regardless of the story as the scheduled performance did not go down. In addition, the person most upset WAS ASKED AT THE LAST MINUTE (for performing standards anyway) to perform and she did a favor. Now when she doesn't do any more 'favors', she is going to be the bad 'guy'. smh Again, those little voices in the back of your head (or those coming from your STAFF) shouldn't be brushed off. :) Sometimes they save you the heartache...
*I have NEVER SAID THE WORD 'SOURCE' on my blog. This is the first time. There is a reason for that. It is because I have someone who wants the story to be known that I personally know. As in, HAS BEEN TO MY HOUSE personally know. So I feel like I can say 'source' on this one 'cause well...I trust them and I know they are DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SITUATION.
