Marquette King Music

PODCAST

After a successful 6 year NFL career as a former leader with the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos, 34-year-old Marquette King has decided to pivot from punter to hip-hop star. While playing for the Arlington Renegades of the XFL, his 107.1 KISSFM interview aired. He stated, ‘I want no regrets.’ King intends to fully immerse himself into the music. In 2018, via TMZ, he jokingly says, “I could be bigger than Chris Brown…” A statement made related to the length of time it took to become a star athlete vs a professional performer.

Seven months ago, he released Sit Down, which resulted in 75,000 views. Shortly after, he dropped One or Two shots. The official audio has already received fifty-two thousand views in two months. Despite the naysayers, he continues to witness an increase in engagement and consistently builds out his repertoire. On certain tracks, he sings while on others, he raps.

Four weeks ago, he uploaded Sweet Tea to his YouTube channel. Nearly 800K views have already been accumulated. It’s obvious that this Georgian has found his voice based on the numbers. It’s one of his best, largely due to his musicality, lyrical content, and a definitive country twang.

The song was conceived after hearing his cousin’s unused track while sitting on the porch during COVID-19 lockdown. The visual storyboard for the track follows the same pattern. It’s an upbeat Americana anthem featuring a multicultural cast. Overall, the progress is evident.

As a Spotify verified artist boasting 33,910 listeners, Marquette is a bona fide musician. And, if you pay close attention to his 360 MAG podcast, his focus on creating a medley of music to make people feel good seems to be on point.

Lastly, Marquette King possesses enough self-confidence to turn down a lucrative sports contract in pursuit of becoming a global music icon. It may seem far-fetched to many, but for others, it’s no less tangible than being listed as one of the top punters in the league’s history.

Reebok Basketball

In recent news, the brand named Shaq himself as President of Reebok Basketball.

“When I joined the brand back in ’92, never did I think I’d be sitting where I am today,” commented Shaq. “This is a true full circle moment for me, and I couldn’t be more proud or more excited. I’ve had a lot of different roles in my life, but this one is probably the most special.”

Reebok’s signing of Shaquille ahead of his rookie season in 1992, which at the time marked the brand’s biggest endorsement deal ever, would evolve into one of the most prolific and impactful athlete-brand partnerships in industry history. In the partnership’s first year Reebok introduced its first-ever signature shoe, the “Shaq Attaq,” followed by a host of irreverent and disruptive ad campaigns and product lines that set the stage for the brand’s on-court dominance during that era.

The Shaq Attaq “MVP” ($180, 100032830) is available beginning November 3 from Reebok.com and select retailers.

Lil Durk + Burna Boy

Today, Lil Durk reups, recharges, and reignites his #1 platinum smash “All My Life” with a pair of massive Remixes now featuring Stray Kids and Burna Boy, respectively. Listen to “All My Life (Remixes)” HERE.

With these Remixes, he adds another dimension to this 2023 anthem. Award-winning and chart-dominating K-Pop juggernaut Stray Kids bring Durk’s words to life as each member delivers his own interpretation of the story in either English or Korean. Meanwhile, Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy infuses “All My Life” with his signature style and spirit. Meanwhile, African Giant Burna Boy infuses “All My Life” with his signature Afro-fusion that has made him a global phenomenon.

The original “All My Life” [feat. J. Cole] picked up a platinum certification, soared to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, reeled in over half-a-billion streams in addition to 124 million YouTube views on the music video, and reached #1 at Rhythm and Urban Radio for consecutive weeks. Not to mention, it vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Chart and at Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart.

In a recent feature, Billboard pegged “All My Life” among “GRAMMYS 2024 BIG FOUR PREDICTIONS” as a contender for “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year,” going on to proclaim, “The melodic chorus on this hip-hop smash gives it broad-based appeal.” Rolling Stone posited it might be up for “Best Rap Song” or “Song of the Year,” professing, “Lil Durk’s retro-leaning sing-song collaboration with J. Cole feels like a contender.”

It’s just the beginning though.

Lil Durk released his critically acclaimed blockbuster album, Almost Healed , earlier this year. Nearing half-a-billion streams, Almost Healed, marked his fourth consecutive Top 3 debut on the Billboard 200 and third straight #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

Britfield Series at Frankfurt Book Fair

Devonfield Publishing is excited to announce that Britfield & the Lost Crown (England), Britfield & the Rise of the Lion (France), and Britfield & the Return of the Prince (Italy) will be represented at the Frankfurt Book Fair (October 18-22) by veteran literary agent Laurie Blum Guest. Already published in the United States and Poland, the international rights are being negotiated with publishers in Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Lithuania, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil, among others.

Since the August 2019 release of Britfield & the Lost Crown, it’s becoming a global phenomenon throughout retail, schools, and education. Children and parents worldwide are enjoying the fast-paced, action-packed pages while learning about history, geography, and culture. Rarely has a book series created its own unique category, a cross between Charles Dickens and Ian Fleming, while removing common literary devices such as mythology and witchcraft. Teenagers and adults connect with genuine characters and authentic situations in a world people can relate to. This type of writing breaks the fourth wall of fiction, reaching the hearts and minds of all demographics. Quoted as “a combination of C. S. Lewis and Dan Brown,” other reviewers have said it’s a blend of “Oliver Twist, Les Miserables, and Sherlock Holmes.”

The first of seven live-action Britfield movies will redefine the industry, causing a major paradigm shift. Several award-winning directors are being considered, along with top British actors for the main and supporting roles of Detective Gowerstone, Professor Hainsworth, and Mr. and Mrs. Grievous. 12-year-old Sarah Wallace and Tom will be played by two up-and-coming young actors. Pre-production is tentatively planned for spring 2024, followed by principal photography in England and Eastern Europe in the fall of 2024. Global release could be as soon as November or December 2025.

The Britfield & the Lost Crown series is unique for the literary and film industry as it does not rely on heightened fantasy, demigods, or superheroes. Taking place in current time and using authentic locations, the real-life story creates a new category of family adventure and entertainment. Based on industry research, Britfield is projected to become one of the most successful films in cinematic history, rivaling the original Star Wars (1977), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005), Night at the Museum (2006), and Harry Potter (2001-2011).

Earlier today, attendees of the Avengers Assemble: A This Week in Marvel Special Event at New York Comic Con got a first look at the new AVENGERS UNITED series, and were the first to know that the new Infinity Comic is now available on the app!

Cebulski, Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, along with writers Jed MacKay (Avengers) and Al Ewing (Avengers Inc.), for a discussion on Marvel’s mightiest line of comics: the Avengers!

AVENGERS UNITED #1 kicks off a 25-chapter Avengers epic as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble in response to an impending interstellar disaster! The comic is written by Derek Landy with art by Marcio Fiorito and colorist Erick Arciniega.

“There is a certain immediacy that you can get with this kind of digital comic—where it’s one panel at a time and you’re constantly scrolling for the next reveal or surprise—that is tremendous fun to play with,” reveals series writer Derek Landy. “Luckily, I’ve been partnered with Marcio Fiorito, who delivers that cohesion and that rhythm in effortless and stylish fashion.”

“I love Derek’s way of telling a story,” adds series artist Fiorito of their creative collaboration. “For an artist, it’s gratifying to be able to build on the story, and Derek really allows me to do that. Also, Derek writes in a way that alternates between big action scenes and cool character moments. What more can an artist want?”
