After taking 2011 off to promote some of the artists he brought on to his NU Revolution Entertainment LLC. imprint he returned with a life lesson album for his son titled “King Noah”. 8 of the songs (Never be the Same, Eye for the Spotlight, Essence of Life, Voice of the World, We Do It Better, Music for the Masses, Grudges & Growing Pains & On My Job) off the project were licensed to several major companies like ESPN, NFL Network, MLB Network, PGA Tour, CiCi’s Pizza, 2012 Wake Games & more.
