Street rap has a rich tradition in hip-hop, but recent years have seen constant concessions of authenticity and heft. Saginaw, Michigan native RushDee (born Rushdee Williams on Aug. 19, 1987) plans to bring that substance back to the street rap that served as his soundtrack on the block. And although the artistry of putting words together and storytelling is what drew him in, he's now pivoted into a more executive position starting his very own record and management company, BeGenius Records. With a solid roster of artists, songwriters, and platinum producers, RushDee has plans to disrupt the status quota. Now a certified multi-platinum producer, songwriter and charting 3x #1 on Billboard. You can find his name next to hip hop royalty like Lil Wayne, Nipsey Hussle, and Fabolous to name a few.

I bet you're thinking beginning and end -not even close! In addition to the music business, you can also find RushDee in the film world. After creative directing music videos and writing short films for artists like Fabolous, Uncle Murda, and Don Q. RushDee went on to start BeGenius Productions. And while he's developing original content of his own, he's already garnered some pretty big co-signs from some of the biggest film producers in Hollywood like Randall Emmett who's accredited for executive producing TV series/Films such as Power (50 Cent, Omari Hardwick, Joseph Sikora), The Irishman (Martin Scorsese, Robert Deniro, Al Pacino), and 2Guns (Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg) to name a few. From producing soundtracks to several feature films starring legendary Bruce Willis, to trending amongst the top 3 films on Netflix in the US, it's pretty clear RushDee has a serious drive to establish himself as a mogul of all things entertainment. And with this potent mixture of business acumen, street knowledge and unbridled talent, I'd be willing to bet RushDee has more up his sleeve.
