Rapper Protege Introductions

The Lil Wayne Public Service Announcement #2 Introduces a New Artist

— November 25, 2011 — Pop Culture
After Lil Wayne's first public service announcement, which featured a lot of rambling and nonsensical rants, I was worried that his second one would be similar, but the Lil Wayne Public Service Announcement #2 is nothing like the first. In fact, it doesn't delve into Wayne's thoughts and opinions, but rather introduces a young new artist.

Weezy and Mack Maine introduced Young Money's latest addition, a 14-year-old named Torion Sellers. Torion can rap, sing and dance incredibly well, and has been called a "cross between Justin Bieber and Chris Brown," according to the Young Money website.

As it turns out, Torion Sellers already has a mixtape out called 'The Initiation Vol. 1' that is available for download. Check out the Lil Wayne Public Service Announcement #2 for some insight into the new artist.
Trend Themes
1. Introducing Young Talents - Highlighting emerging young talents in various industries through public endorsements provides an opportunity for new artists, athletes, actors, or professionals to disrupt conventional recognition channels.
2. Mentoring Programs - Senior professionals acting as mentors can identify and develop young talents, providing access to resources and advisory support, which cultivates the next wave of great artists, athletes, actors, or professionals.
3. Mixed-genre Artists - The world today is experiencing the emergence of artists who combine and blend musical genres to create a unique sound, which is an excellent opportunity to reach new audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Music - The music industry can disrupt conventional methods of promoting emerging young artists by using influential endorsers to amplify their reach.
2. Sports - Professional sports organizations can look to implement mentoring and player development programs that nurture up-and-coming talents.
3. Film and TV - Film and television production companies can capitalize on emerging talents by utilizing mixed-genre artists, creating new story paths, unique pairings, and styles.
