#1 “The World Is Yours” - Nas:
Takes me back to the 90’s when I
was a young ambitious goal digger
from the inner city of Chicago. The
song gave me strength to take over
the world then and it still does to this
day. Timeless Classic from one of the
best to ever do it.

#2 ”UMI Says“ - Mos Def:
Makes me feel invincible and vulnerable at
the same time. The lyrics encompasses “Carpe
Diem” (seize the day), giving back to others,
navigating through the ups and downs of life/
business, and being strong all in one.

#3 ”Get Dis Money“ - Slum Village:
You can’t deny the lyricism of Slum
Village and the classic production of
the late great J-Dilla. This is the ultimate
revenue generator motivation song.

#4 ”Hello Good Morning“ - Diddy Dirty Money:
My go to song to push through a workout,
for some turn up energy while driving in the
morning or if I just want to listen to a feel
good track.

#5 ”Money Ain’t a Thang“ Jermaine Dupri featuring JAY Z:
I am a very humble individual, but I
am also very confident and enjoy the
fruits of my labor from investments,
extra income or elsewhere. Hence the
reason for this song by two of the best
music entrepreneurs to ever do while
still being relevant in 2016: Jigga & JD
