Prince Carter is a media personality whose evolution we’ve watched over the years and were finally able to sit down for an interview with. When we first encountered Carter, he was slated to be part of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast and even though that didn’t pan out, he’s gone onto become a star within his own right. Aside from operating his media management firm Global Line Media Group with his roster of talent, he’s also Executive Producing a new talk show to launch this summer.
Titled the All N Hip Hop podcast, the show is being Executive Produced by Prince Carter and Neffeteria Pugh, best known for her time on Frankie and Neffe as an author and sister of R&B singer Keyshia Cole. Also starring on the show are Jaylan Banks who is the fiance to Falynn Guobadia who notoriously ended her one season on The Real Housewives of Atlanta getting a divorce after her “friend” Porsha Williams got engaged to her husband Simon Guobadia. Is this relevant to the show? Not necessarily but during the interview, we shared with Carter that we actually largely stayed away from this topic so as to not negatively contribute to things over the last year but had still been wondering just what Falynn and her new fiance were up to. We love seeing what people’s next steps are professionally and it was a sheer coincidence to find out that we were interviewing someone who cast 1/2 of that duo Jaylan on their show. The timing could not have been any more perfect.
“It’s important that we continue telling our own stories so that no one has access to the pen that rewrites the history that belongs to us. All N Hip-Hop highlights the cultural shifts throughout each generation of hip hop.” – Prince Carter
Other cast members include Suzette Samuel, known for her time on Black Ink Crew as the girlfriend of Ceaser Samuel. Trell Love is a hip hop artist from Chicago managed by Carter, model Darrel Swavey who’s also been featured on The Steve Harvey Show and Courtney J & Dre P from Oxygen’s Love Games: Bad Girls Need Love Too.
Other projects Carter is working on is appearing in two films, one playing Sam Cooke and the other Malcolm X. These are two epic roles and something that is definitely going to be monumental both for him and the culture. Having an openly gay black man playing these types of roles shows that it’s possible to have the LGBT community not be typecast. And the timing is perfect. Coming on the heels of the Black Lives Matter movement finally getting the attention of the masses with various race related issues, now is the best time to review the life of Malcolm X and to revisit that of Sam Cooke, one of our greats. That combined with a cast for All N Hip Hop that currently are in the middle of the mediasphere where people are showing extreme interest in their work and them as brands, the alignment for Carter’s work has come together flawlessly highlighting what we’re witnessing which is the evolution of a star.
