Knowledge Born is the future! If anything, history has taught us that the progress of a society is

dependent upon the few who challenge the status quo and take responsibility  into their own hands.

In today's hip-hop scene exists an epidemic. The disease which is spreading is one of mental death

and disunity amongst an already impoverished community desperately in need of sincere organization

and financial representation.  KNB is here to add on to the cipher. From Arlington, TX emerges a company

dedicated to re-establishing economic growth, community control, and education. From music

to movies, daycares to exotic scents & oils, Knowledge Born is on the frontlines

in the war against ignorance and political/economic apathy within the current hip-hop culture



Executive Summary






Market



Knowledge Born Productions is far greater than an independent record label. KNB is 100% determined to provide economic and political power to urban communities spanning world wide as a business entity. The success of KNB to this point has depended solely on personal investment earned from employment wages. Years of developing an underground following as a well known respected rap group has required hours of dedication with very little monetary gain. KNB has videos on cable TV, two starring roles and songs featured in films and soundtracks coming out of Dallas in 2002, a 12’ being spun in clubs and radio, a full length CD selling in Tower Records, Wherehouse Music, Sam Goodys and other select locations in the area, and regular live performances throughout Texas and in New York. KNB simply needs to expand to other regions of the world. The effect that rappers have on youth is unlike any other entertainment influence. Without KNB the world misses an important part of history affecting the new millennium. Following generations will seek options to selling drugs; violence and exploiting sex to prosper financially due in part to the image that rappers such as KNB artists set as new hip hop examples.

Business Description



KNB will eventually require hundreds of employees to maintain daily business transactions globally ranging from music to childcare. In this way KNB benefits low income communities as a source of equal opportunity employment and through the many services. In five years KNB will have surpassed the million mark and will have expanded well beyond music. Day cares, housing, barber shops and restaurants are the most immediate branches that get attention.

Market Competition



The music industry is an interesting one in that there is literally room for everyone. For every group there is some fan base. The fan base for KNB is the most wide-open receptive audience in music, which is hip hop youth. Our immediate advantage is that in a time when openly materialistic, sexist, self destructive images are at an all time high in rap music we appeal to the hip hop purists that appreciate a blend of fun, sexual, conscience, and violent rappers in one. Through the marketing vehicles of the music industry such as commercial video, radio and Internet the KNB produced group, ‘epatomed’ will be a household name transcending racial and economic barriers. Another unique point to the rap industry is that open competition from rival groups, and controversy with the authorities can be very beneficial to a hip hop group.

Marketing



To further open the door for KNB expansion we must first seize the opportunity at hand to maximize the demand for hip hop group ‘epatomed’. Over the years of researching and testing the market we have received positive feedback from audiences, consumers, DJs, record executives and signed artist offering sound advice we have incorporated into our formula for success. The ultimate goal is the most interactive website geared for the urban working class which provides access to KNB products and services ranging from music, film, food (nutrition and resturaunts), clothing, healthcare, to real estate (agricultural, residential, commercial) including links throughout the entire net.

Management


KNB ownership interests are only in furthering the company’s ability to supply lower income communities with positive image by example and useful service. This is more important to KNB than actual profits. Investors, managers, associates and employees are qualified not only by their potential to increase financial gain but in which direction they intend to help steer KNB. Ownership will always have hands on control of current KNB developments. As we continue to expand management will be delegated to trusted, qualified masters of specific fields.
