Diva's Diamonds Beautiful Person of the Week by Queen Diva 3-20-12
Jermaine "Red Cafe" Denny...An American Rapper, Producer, Songwriter and Actor raised by Afro-Guyanese parents in Flatbush, Brooklyn, who's name "Red" was his father's nickname and added "Cafe" later, he spent some time in prison in 1992 and once released signed with a rap group called "Da Franchise" with Violator Records. He was also signed with Arista in 2003 and now he's signed to Akon's Konvict Muzik and Diddy's Bad Boy Records. He's known as the "Hottest In the Hood" and the "King of Mixtapes" for he has been signed to many record labels, but has never released an album. He is known in the music industry circles as a well sought after "ghostwriter" for many of Hip Hop's BIGGEST names such as Busta Rhymes "Pass the Courvoisier Part 2." He caught the acting bug and was in NOTORIOUS as the "Battle Rapper" against Biggie's character in the streets of Brooklyn. He's presently on Hell's Kitchen Mixtape Tour in Europe and the U.S. with GREAT anticipation of his DEBUT release of "Shakedown" this year!
I met Red Cafe back in the Spring 2003 at Texas Southern University Spring Fest with the Youngbloods when I was the Producer of Kidz Jamm, the longest running Hip Hop Show in Houston at KTSU 90.9 FM. I remember him as a young man with beautiful freckles who loved baseball caps, Hip Hop and was just humbled to be doing what he loved to do! He was simply known as "Red" and just had a peaceful spirit and a pure LOVE for Hip Hop! I reconnected with him on Twitter last month! LOL! He's a GROWN man now! I caught up on ALL of his music recently and he has plenty of stories from "Da Hood" that millions of listeners can totally identify with compared to their everyday life.
Red's BEAUTY stems from sharing words of #ShakedownTRUTHS daily and even hourly to those who follow him closely. He reaches his fans right where they are without sugar coating or hand holding both spiritual and everyday life wisdom. Not many rap artists take the time to feed their fans positivity and LOVE to show that they appreciate their support, but RED takes the time to do it and he really doesn't have to do it. I believe he does because he's been so FAITHFUL in pursuing his DREAM to share his music and rhymes to the world for many years and NOW his time to SHINE has arrived. He knows that there are many people watching and following him who have the same DREAMS as he does and he encourages them to keep going too.
This is a video of the making of the music for "Fly Together" with Ryan Leslie who composed the music. Red Cafe has a new video out called "Let It Go" and you can see on his page but I'm in love with this video. LOL! It's the musician and songwriter in me!
