Journalist- Hello !!! How are you ?

What’s good I’m doing well today

Journalist-Please, Introduce yourself?

Hey world it’s desean aka Szn head of Goldsoundszn & Leaf Gang ent. I’m an upcoming artist representing evansville indiana, I’m 27, father of 3 rest in paradise baby girl. And I’m blessed that y’all have me for this interview today.

Journalist What got you into music and made you realize that it was your chosen path?

1 use to dream about rapping or making music when I was 5, I’ve been in love with music since I knew who my favorite artists were at a certain point in time. I didn’t start writing till my friends in high school wanted to start rapping, and we all discussed it and really I started to start writing from that day on . My first song was on our school netbooks we were assigned for the year. I recorded it on a program call audacity. And it’s been up ever since . I realized this was meant for me when I kept pushing to get better and be as good as my favorites in the industry today.

Journalist- What story behind your Success?

– Really, I’ve been pushing for something big ever since I started. I wanted my own empire, and I chased my celebrity crush in the beginning of it too lol it was crazy cause I even made a song to her and one of them which is named after her.

“Zendaya” is the one she heard and blew it up that day (Always in appreciation for it) . I’ve made quite a bit with a part 2 & 3 behind it but the first one started a lot for me, I gained a good amount of fans, and just making music in general about trying to be the next artist up and and telling my story from where I am to where I want to be and what I’m working for is what pushed me to become the artist I am to day.

Journalist-Tell us about your new single. And what’s the story behind it?

– I just dropped my 4th LP “SZN 2” now out everywhere. And the single I’m promoting from it is called “Better For Me” . This track stands out the most to me and when making it, I was in need of a song that I can really tell where I’ve been to where I’m at in that moment. And it’s obvious it’s directed towards someone or people because the line “better for you no it’s better for me” is basically stating I’m out to do what’s best for me and not you anymore, I tried to help but it wasn’t good enough for them, so as they left and freed me I went and did my thing and I’m doing much better than ever now.

Journalist-What makes your music unique?

it’s my own style of music. My own flow, when you hear it, it’s reminding you of me more than it will of another artist. Comparisons always come by and that’s fine . I put my favorite artists touch on it that’s just out of the love I got for their music Lyrics and sound, I feel like I found a way of making a good solid sound and flow for myself and there’s no lie in the lyrics, it’s all real. We all talk about stuff we are aiming for that we don’t have yet, but I don’t sit there and talk like I got it.

Journalist- What advice would you give to aspiring musicians?

Be You . Keep working at your craft and you will always see results. It’s about stay consistent and never giving up on what you want. Aim for the top .

Journalist-And any particular artist/band you would like to collaborate with in the future?

I have so many people like that’s big I would love to work with, I’ll name 5, that’s, Honey Cocaine, Drake, Lil Skies, Coi Leray, and my fav lil Wayne

Journalist-Any upcoming projects in 2023?

When it comes to street rap, authenticity isn’t just a quality—it’s the code. Get Money Piken: Beef Muzik lives and breathes that code, delivering a mixtape that’s unapologetically raw, unfiltered, and stamped with street credibility.

Beef 5

This isn’t polished pop rap or watered-down mainstream vibes. This is Beef Muzik—a project fueled by survival, loyalty, and the unspoken rules of the grind. Every track is layered with aggressive lyricism, heavy trap beats, and a gritty narrative that speaks directly to those who know the hustle firsthand.

From money moves to betrayal, from loyalty to beef, Piken doesn’t just rap—he testifies. Each bar drips with intensity, painting the realities of street life in bold, unrelenting strokes. Whether he’s calling out rivals or flexing the rise from the bottom, the delivery is consistent: powerful, fearless, and deeply rooted in authenticity.

Beef Muzik – song and lyrics by Get Money Piken, Yung Glizzy | Spotify

But Beef Muzik isn’t just sound—it’s a war cry. It’s the soundtrack for the come-up, for those who live by the code and never fold under pressure. It’s music that represents the grind, the pain, and the victories of life in the trenches.

Leilani Kristina: A Force of Art, Activism, and Ancestral Power

Leilani Kristina: A Force of Art, Activism, and Ancestral Power

Some artists entertain. Others inspire. But every so often, a singular presence emerges—one who does both, and so much more. Leilani Kristina is that presence: a fearless creative, a truth-teller, and a living bridge between culture, art, and justice.

A true polymath in the modern age, Leilani is a published model, gifted singer-songwriter, dancer, and passionate Indigenous rights advocate. Her path is not just one of performance—it’s one of purpose. She isn’t simply chasing fame; she’s building a platform for expression, healing, and impact.


Ancestral Legacy, Artistic Fire

At the heart of Leilani’s artistic expression lies her deep-rooted Indigenous heritage. Her performances aren’t just acts of creativity—they’re acts of remembrance. In Nanyehi, a musical staged by Tulsa Theater, she portrayed Betsey Ward, a descendant of her own ancestor, Nancy Ward (Nanyehi), a revered Cherokee woman and peacekeeper. Sharing the stage with Hollywood icon Wes Studi, Leilani brought her family’s history to life in a way that was both emotional and empowering.

This wasn’t just a role—it was a reclamation. Through her portrayal, she honored the resilience of her lineage and connected her audience to stories often excluded from the mainstream narrative.


Runways with a Message

Leilani’s influence stretches far beyond the theater. On the catwalk, she brings her cultural pride and commanding presence to international fashion weeks in Milan, New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Her look is striking, but it’s the message behind the walk that truly sets her apart.

She doesn’t just model clothes—she models courage, authenticity, and representation. Leilani challenges narrow beauty standards by standing unapologetically in her identity. With each show, she redefines what it means to be seen and celebrated in an industry still learning how to embrace diversity.


A Sound that Speaks Volumes

In the music world, Leilani Kristina delivers more than catchy hooks—she delivers truth. Her original songs, distributed through United Masters, are rich with emotion and intention. Themes of strength, healing, love, and resistance pulse through every lyric, creating a soundscape that resonates deeply with listeners navigating their own struggles.

Her upcoming album promises even more depth, offering sonic experiences that serve as both refuge and rallying cry. Through her voice, Leilani isn’t just singing—she’s speaking directly to those who feel unheard.


Lights, Camera, Impact

Hollywood is beginning to recognize what audiences already feel: Leilani Kristina is a star in every sense. She’s performed at major industry events like the BET Awards Weekend and Big Game Weekend, capturing attention from influential circles in film and music. With auditions for high-profile roles such as Moana and Juliet in a musical adaptation, she’s poised for a breakout in film and television.

But Leilani’s rise in Hollywood isn’t about fitting in—it’s about breaking through. She represents the stories and voices that have long been missing from the screen. Her presence is not just refreshing—it’s necessary.


An Advocate First

Beyond the spotlight, Leilani is a powerful voice in advocacy. Drawing from her lived experience, she speaks on the realities of human trafficking, gender-based violence, and human rights abuses with rare honesty and conviction. Her activism is informed, urgent, and deeply personal.

Whether on stage, in interviews, or through her social media, Leilani uses every tool at her disposal to raise awareness and inspire action. She doesn’t seek attention—she seeks justice.


Defining Her Own Legacy

With representation by ADR Agency and Urge Management, Leilani Kristina continues to blaze her own trail—on her own terms. She’s not following trends or chasing validation. She’s telling stories, amplifying truths, and holding space for those often left out of the conversation.

Leilani isn’t just rising—she’s lifting others as she climbs.

Because Leilani Kristina is more than a name.
She’s more than a performer.
She is a living movement—a beacon of culture, creativity, and change in a world hungry for all three.
