Abeni Nazeer: Healing, Hustle, and the Power of Storytelling
“My filmmaking journey has always been tied to my growth as a woman,” she says. “Every time life forced me to evolve, I used to go into hibernation—disappear from everyone until I came back stronger. But now, I’ve learned how to keep showing up, to keep creating and sharing while I’m still doing the inner work.” Some artists find their voice through success. For Abeni Nazeer, she found hers through healing.
That balance between purpose and presence defines where Nazeer is today. “Every day I focus on loving the parts of myself that need attention,” she explains. “And it’s wild how much life starts aligning when you work on yourself from the inside out.”
Breaking Through with Sin
One of those alignments was her breakout project, Sin—her first feature film as a director. The opportunity came from Dutch (Kwame), the film’s writer, who discovered her after seeing a music video she directed for her sister. “He told me he liked my eye and wanted me to bring his story to life,” she remembers.
Sin came with challenges—four producers, multiple creative directions, and the constant tug between business and vision. “It was a learning curve,” Nazeer admits, “but it was also magical.”
Working alongside Lou Gossett Jr., a legend in his own right, became a defining moment. “He treated me like family. He shared so much wisdom, welcomed me into his home, and showed me what real artistry looks like,” she says. “And my leads, Angel and Bella Black—they gave everything. Sin wasn’t just a movie; it was a family. It was chaotic and beautiful at the same time.”
Stepping into the Next Chapter
Now, Abeni is stepping into her next creative evolution. Her upcoming series, Barely, is currently in development and will likely find its home on Tubi or Amazon Prime. “It’s raw, real, and emotional,” she says. “It tells the kind of story that reminds people they’re not alone.”
Following that is her bold new horror film, Rush, which premieres November 21 at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills on Wilshire Boulevard. “Rush shows another side of me,” she says. “It’s intense, it’s daring, and it’s rooted in everything I’ve learned as both a director and a woman. It’s about taking risks—creatively and spiritually.”
A Director with Purpose
When asked what drives her, Nazeer smiles. “My mission as a director is simple: to tell the truth,” she says. “I want my films to make people feel something real—to spark conversation, to make them see that healing and growth can be beautiful. Every story I tell is part of my evolution. And honestly, I’m just getting started.”

There’s a certain kind of artist you don’t just hear — you feel
The kind that doesn’t need to exaggerate pain, because it’s already written into their voice. The kind that doesn’t chase moments, because they’ve lived enough of them to create their own. That’s where CertifiedStunna exists — somewhere between scars and ambition, between silence and melody.
Before the name, before the sound, there was Austin Scott.
And before the music, there was Utica.
WHERE IT STARTED
Utica isn’t the type of place that waits for you to figure life out slowly. It introduces you to reality early. Pressure, struggle, emotion — all of it comes fast, and it sticks. For Austin, growing up there wasn’t just a phase — it was a foundation.
You learn how to read people. You learn how to move smart. And most importantly, you learn how to feel everything deeply, even when you don’t say it out loud.
That silence eventually needed somewhere to go.
WHEN MUSIC STOPPED BEING JUST MUSIC
At first, it wasn’t about a career. It wasn’t about streams, placements, or attention.
It was survival.
Music became a place to unload everything that couldn’t be explained in conversation. The thoughts you keep to yourself. The weight you carry when nobody’s watching. The nights that feel longer than they should.
That’s when Austin realized something real:
This wasn’t just something he liked.
This was something he needed.
And that’s when CertifiedStunna was born — not as an alias, but as a version of himself that could speak freely.
“Certified” because nothing is fabricated.
“Stunna” because even through it all, there’s elevation — a presence you can’t ignore.
THE SOUND: PAIN WITH PURPOSE
If you listen close, you’ll hear it immediately.
The influence is there — the emotional vulnerability of artists like Juice WRLD, the melodic confidence of Tory Lanez, the relatable storytelling of A Boogie wit da Hoodie — but none of it feels copied.
Because it isn’t.
CertifiedStunna’s sound sits in that space where melody meets truth. It’s introspective, sometimes dark, but never empty. Every record feels like a page torn from real life — not polished for perfection, but left raw on purpose.
His process reflects that.
It starts with a beat…
Then a feeling…
Then a moment.
No overthinking. No forcing it. Just honesty in real time.
LEAVING, BUT NOT FORGETTING
Now based in North Carolina, there’s distance from where it all started — but not detachment.
That shift brought balance.
A clearer mind. A bigger perspective. A chance to move smarter, not just harder.
But Utica is still in the music. Still in the tone. Still in the way certain words hit heavier than others.
You don’t outgrow where you came from — you carry it differently.
THE FIGHT NOBODY SEES
There’s a version of the artist journey people don’t talk about.
No co-signs.
No instant spotlight.
No major hub backing you.
Just you… and belief.
Consistency becomes a battle. Doubt creeps in quietly. Progress feels slow when nobody’s watching.
But that’s where CertifiedStunna built his foundation — in the unseen work.
Staying locked in when it’s quiet.
Trusting the process when it’s unclear.
Creating anyway.
That’s the part that makes it real.
THE TURNING POINT
The biggest moment wasn’t a show.
Wasn’t a placement.
Wasn’t a viral clip.
It was internal.
The realization that music was actually helping him — mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
That changed everything.
It gave the journey purpose.
Because now it wasn’t just about making songs…
It was about making something that could reach someone else the same way.
MORE THAN MUSIC
CertifiedStunna isn’t selling an image.
He’s building connection.
Every record is rooted in something real — pain, growth, reflection, survival. And that honesty creates something a lot of artists spend years chasing:
Trust.
Listeners don’t just hear the music — they relate-to it.
And in a world full of noise, that kind of connection stands out.
WHAT’S NEXT
Right now, it’s about building.
Catalog.
Consistency.
Presence.
New music. Visuals. Expanding reach.
No shortcuts — just stacking moments the right way.
Because this isn’t about a quick run.
It’s about longevity.
THE MESSAGE
At the core of everything, the goal is simple:
Make people feel understood.
If someone hears a song and realizes they’re not alone in what they’re going through — that’s bigger than numbers.
That’s impact.
FINAL WORD
CertifiedStunna is still in the early chapters.
But the foundation is already there — authenticity, discipline, and a story that doesn’t need to be exaggerated to be powerful.
From Utica to North Carolina…
From silence to sound…
From survival to expression…
This isn’t just music.
This is real life — translated into something you can feel.
And this is only the beginning.

“Wake Up” Feat. Bizarre & “Tough Love” Feat. Merkules — Dual Diagnosis Delivers Raw Emotion and Powerful Visual Storytelling
Lost Soul Productions LLC announces the release of two gripping new singles from Dual Diagnosis: “Wake Up” featuring Bizarre (April 17, 2026) and “Tough Love” featuring Merkules (April 24, 2026). Together, these records highlight an artist committed to raw storytelling, striking visuals, and unfiltered expression.
Dual Diagnosis is quickly building a reputation for delivering music that cuts deeper than surface-level themes. His sound blends heavy emotion, dark undertones, and reflective lyricism, creating records that resonate with listeners facing real-life struggles. Rather than following mainstream formulas, he leans into authenticity—turning personal conflict and growth into compelling art.
To amplify that vision, Dual Diagnosis connects with two powerful voices in hip-hop. Bizarre brings his legendary shock value and fearless approach, while Merkules adds a grounded, emotional intensity that has made him a standout in modern rap. These collaborations help shape two tracks that feel both distinct and connected.
“Wake Up” Feat. Bizarre — April 17, 2026
“Wake Up” delivers a hard-hitting message centered on realization and urgency. The track challenges listeners to confront truth, break illusions, and become aware of what’s really happening around them. With sharp lyricism and a dark atmosphere, the record sets an intense tone from start to finish.
The artwork reinforces this concept with a disturbing yet symbolic image: a warped clock fused with a human eye, bleeding and surrounded by chaos. It represents time slipping away and the moment when awareness can no longer be avoided. The visual and the music work hand-in-hand, pulling the audience into a tense and thought-provoking experience.
“Tough Love” Feat. Merkules — April 24, 2026
Following that awakening, “Tough Love” shifts into the reality of endurance. This track explores pain, lessons learned, and the strength it takes to keep going. Dual Diagnosis and Merkules deliver emotionally driven verses that speak to resilience and survival.
The cover art features a rugged, mechanical heart glowing beneath a worn exterior. Set against an industrial backdrop, it symbolizes damage, pressure, and the ability to keep moving forward despite it all. It’s a powerful visual metaphor for the track’s core message—growth often comes through struggle.
A Unified Message
While each release stands strong on its own, together they tell a larger story:
- “Wake Up” captures the moment of awareness
- “Tough Love” represents the aftermath—learning to live with that truth
This dual rollout showcases Dual Diagnosis not just as a recording artist, but as a creator with a clear vision—blending music and imagery into a cohesive narrative.
Release Dates
- April 17, 2026 — “Wake Up” Feat. Bizarre
