It wasn’t until he teamed up with Robert ‘Nature’ Lee, a long time high school friend, that his dreams of bringing the Canadian Hip Hop industry back to its true essence started to become true. Together they founded a multi-media entertainment company called Mafioso Music Group, allowing Louie ‘Doe Money’ Jacobis to focus on his up & coming projects as well as continuing to perfect his craft as an artist.

Robert ‘Nature’ Lee’s refreshing professional attitude and dedication to whatever he does is what sets him apart from the rest. Since his humble beginnings growing up in a Christian home listening to gospel music to having friends that listened to everything from rock to conscious reggae, he has always had an appreciation of all forms of music. From selling local artists and groups mix-tapes to throwing and promoting parties, he has solidified his position in the local hip hop scene with the appetite and love for music and studying the culture of Hip Hop. Becoming a co-host, along with Louie ‘Doe Money’ Jacobis is only a step into where these two young entrepreneurs look to take Hip Hop music throughout this country.

These two have different backgrounds but are united by culture of Hip Hop have come together to put a stamp on the Canadian Urban/ Hip Hop landscape. Featuring two cultured hosts & the best of Canada's independent Urban/ Hip Hop music ever created. The show promises to entertain & educated its listeners about urban/ hip hop music, the hip hop culture, & the local artists.
